Wrong multiplier k8t neo-fis2r

Just recently finished setting up my new computer and I noticed that CoreCenter is telling me that my system is at 200x5
Im using,
mobo: k8t neo-fis2r
and cpu: Athlon 64 2800+ Newcastle running at 1.5v
updated to version 2.2 of the bios
os is Windows 2000 pro sp4 and SuSE Linux 9.2 pro(main os)
I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be 200x9. I've read that the multiplier can't be changed in my bios, if true is there any other way to change the multiplier?
any help is appreciated,
Shawn

whoops just figured out my own problem....it had to do with cool and quiet....sorry to bother

  • K8t neo fis2r- CMOS settings are wrong!

    First I would like to thank all of you for taking the time to help me resolve my problem.  My current system specs are as follows:
    MSI k8t neo fis2r mobo
    AMD athlon 64 3200+ (clawhammer I believe)
    2x 512 MB Corsair Xtreme XMS Memory
    Radeon 9800 Pro 256mb
    80gb Samsung HDD
    600W Xconnect PSU
    After having problems with my computer not loading windows I downgraded my bios from v 2.2 to 1.9 because I heard that versions higher than 1.9 may have problems with my older clawhammer cpu core.  The bios flash worked in that I can now start up my computer if I reset CMOS and load default settings.  However when I load my computer this way my Core Center is displaying my Vcore at around 1.1v.  3.3v is at around 3.41, 5v is at around 5.1, 12v is at around 12.1v.  In the past I needed to manually set my Vcore under bios at 1.4v or 1.5v to get it to start, and when I started it that way Core Center correctly displayed the 1.4 or 1.5vcore and stated that my computer was running at 2000Mhz.  Now my computer is running at 1.1vcore and 800 MHz.  If I clear cmos and enter setup to try to change my vcore to 1.4 my computer will hang after the save and exit just as if I had restart my computer without clearing the CMOS.  I have tried changing the mobo battery, which did not do anything.  Its odd, if I choose to load default settings and continue, my computer will start up and is entirely stable.  If I choose to enter setup however and choose to load default settings and then save and exit, my computer will hang just as if I did not reset CMOS to begin with.
    I really do not know what to do here.  I was thinking about trying something like this http://crystalmark.info/software/CrystalCPUID/index-e.html to up my vcore after I get my computer started so that I can play my games without the low fps I am currently getting.  I know this fix would not get my computer to start up without resetting CMOS, but would it work as a temporary solution?
    Does anyone have any ideas for what is wrong?  Thanks again in advance.

    Thats bad news for me!
    Anyway, I found a program called RightMark CPU clock Utility that has enabled me to get my 2000 MHz out of my cpu by setting FID to 10.0x and VID to 1.550v 
    With these settings Rightmark is reporting an idle cpu temp of around 31 C, but when I get in a game like world of warcraft the temp will go all the way up to around 90 C, which I feel is incorrect.  Ive had my computer become very unstable in the past when the temp got near 65-70C.  It seems to be perfectly stable at the moment, even under the high loads of world of warcraft.  Do you have any thoughts on this?

  • PSU for K8T Neo-FIS2R

    What model of PSU has its cooling fans which can be controlled from PWFAN1 and PWFAN2 on the K8T Neo-FIS2R motherboard?
    Kaz

    Sorry but there is no real specific one out there that I have ever seen. Most of the Bios options you see have been available since forever with Via Chipsetted boards. However DOT is specific to MSI which is Dynamic Overclocking technolodies. DOT can automatically overclock your voard depending one what your doing. I recommend staying away from it as it can cause as many issues as anything in your rig. And then there is Cool and Quiet which is an AMD 64 Bit CPU specific option to downclock the multipliers for the CPU during Idle Times to save energy and keep the CPU cool. Again it is not really needed.
    The rest of the stuff you can use google to find individually or by searching for Award Bios's or Via Chipset Bios settings.
    These are way to much for any one person to post a complete guide to here as all the info is readily available elsewhere.

  • Should I flash the bios? K8T NEO FIS2R

    Ok... I have a K8T NEO FIS2R mobo.  A couple of friends of mine have been telling me to flash the bios to the most current version...  Then some other people have been telling me that it is too risky and I should hold off untill something goes wrong that I know a bios flash can fix...
    I'm just wondering what is the concencious here... should I flash it, or should I stay with the current version I have now(the one that came with the mobo)  I Like to have my computer as up to date as possible, but all the reports of bad flashes have me a little worried.  This is a procedure that I have never done before, and I dont want to mess it up.
    If I should flash, Any insight, tips, tricks, special instructions, etc... would be greatly appriciated.
    Thanks!
    Magnum

    Thanks guys for the quick responces...  I'm used to not getting a responce from forums for 12-24hrs and here it is less than 24hrs later and I have 10 responces.
    I'm not at my computer in question right now, but I am almost positive that my bios is ver1.0.  Same one that came with my mobo.
    At this point I am leaning towards flashing...  If basically the only way to mess it up is to have my power fail, then I dont think I will have a problem.  I'll just borrow an UPS from work here to be on the safe side.
    hypothetically if i follow the instructions to a tee(windows flash/live update) are there any other ways it can mess it up?  I just want to get a hold on all the places where I could mess it up.
    Will live update take me all the way through the procedure, or do I need a separate set of instructions to read off of during the flash?
    Also what gear will I need...  floppy disk? anything else?
    Sorry about all the questions, just want to make sure I do this right the first time!
    Thanks!

  • Calling all old MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R users

    Ops i posted this in the wrong forum first time, this is the right place
    This for all MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R users, that have changed to the new MSI K8N Platinum nForce3 250 mobo, if I have the chance to swap to the new board should I do so, or does this mobo have its fair share of problems?
    Is the MSI K8N Platinum nForce3 250, a better board compared to the old MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R? Not taking into account overclocking.
    Like is the onboard sound the same or worse or better in your opinion? Is it any faster at stock? Are there any other advantages?
    Thx Xe

    I had a K8T Neo Fis2r at first.  I got a K8N Neo because I believed my Blue Screens were a faulty K8T Neo.  As it turned out, the Audigy2 I had in there was the problem, because I still got Blue Screens with the K8N Neo, and when I took out the audigy and used onboard my system ran stable.
    I havent had any of the apparent keyboard controller problems, or ANY other problems with the K8N.  My only instabilities have been the Audigy2's fault.
    Havent tried overclocking on the K8N Neo yet, maybe a little down the road.  As far as features go, the K8N has the hardware firewall on it (which I dont use) but apparently its "true" gigabit ethernet is better than the K8Ts.  Dont ask me to clarify that, lol
    btw Got my turtle beach Santa Cruz today and put it in my K8N Neo, crossing my fingers... =\

  • 8X capability of K8T Neo FIS2R

    Hi Everyone,
                     This is probably an embarrasingly easy question for you guys to answer but my question is, now that I have my newly built machine up and running will the MoBo automatically detect the AGP 8X capability of my card or do I have to fiddle around in the Bios in some way
    Card Radeon Sapphire X800 Pro
    MoBO K8T Neo FIS2R
    Thats it!
    Cudham

    Hi,
    No sweat mate, it would be more imbarrasing if you would have gotten it wrong  
    It will detect it automaticly as 8x.
    Merry christmas !!!

  • K8T Neo FIS2R AMIBOOT.ROM not working

    Hi
    Had a game crash on my system, and froze everything, so had to restart manualy - now I get the error BIOS is not installed..
    I have downloaded a copy of the bios (not latest) and changed the relevant ROM file to AMIBOOT.ROM and copied to a freshly formated floppy.
    I inserted the disk, held down CTRL and HOME and started the computer...
    After a while of running through the messages of BIOS not installed and no SATA installed (which is correct), the floppy drive light comes on, and then after a while (afet I have released the CTRL and HOME keys) I get a message saying "Remove disks or other media, Press any key to restart" then nothing, if I press any key - it says the same thing untill I remove the floppy... and then it restarts again.
    I have tried to restart using the floppy and the CTRL and HOME keys about 20 times so far - always the same result - I have even tried diferent versions of the BIOS.
    Any ideas?
    I only have one stick of RAM (256Kb - 333) and two IDE HD's
    Many thanks in advance
    GreenBoy

    Hans
    My Set up is as follows (from the top of my head as I am doing this form work)
    K8T Neo FIS2R.
    AMD 3300 745pin chip set.
    1 stick of 512Mb ram (non branded - baught from Watford Electronics)
    2 x 200Gb Maxtor HD's
    1 40GB Seagate HD
    1 DVD RW
    Power 500W
    Dont know what else you need...
    Anyway - last night I reset the CMOS in the way you described.
    Still cant find the VIA settings in the Advanced Chipset or elsewhare - but I will. urned of SATA in Intergrated Peripherals...
    Anyway - what then happens, is it says it cannot boot.
    I tried using a Win98 SE boot disk - and all the  drivers were listed as not possible to load  or something...
    Any way - deciding I did not have anotehr boot disk to hand - tried Symantec Ghost - still same result.
    Finaly I tried WinXP Pro, and found that this installed all the bootup files no problem at all - what was then found was that my C: partition was missing - yup boot sector had completely disapeared.
    Anyway knowing that I have recent full backups og my primary drives using Ghost, I took the plunge, created a partition in the unalocated space, reformated the drive, and reinstalled WinXP... all seems ok for now... except the message regarding no BIOS - but from what you say as soon as I fing the switch I will loose that again.
    The strange thing is I never used to get this message before, and do not remember setting anything up for SATA - couldnt afford the disks at the time....
    Thanks for the help Hans, you have been more than gwenerouse with your time  , but can you please give me some more information? (Im a bit of a Nooby at playing with BIOS etc as they scare the crap out of me! )
    1) Why is the detail of my system so important? I have made no Hardware changes for approx 6 months and everything was fine untill the game crashed, so therefore, dont see why this should affect things.
    2) Why did the flashing of the BIOS not work? I was following the instructions carefully - but nothing.. therefore in my Nooby mind this means there is something else wrong, stopping the flashing from working.
    Again - many thanks

  • MY K8T Neo-FIS2R with AMD 64 3000+ auto shuts down

    I have run this system for several months with core centre all
    arms going off when playing graphic intensive games (Call of duty, Counter strike etc).
    I have added system fans to cool the machine sown, and this seemed to work ok until three days ago when the alarm was followed by a system shut down!
    I can see no obvious problem displayed in core centre, but suspect that the alarm is CPU fan speed related - I am running the AMD supplied Heat sink& Fan assembly.
    Anyone have any ideas why this problem has suddenly got worse?

    Is this a BIOS/Core Centre issue or CPU fan or maybe a PSu shortfall since the problem only manifests itself when CPU is under high loads?

    Hi mcihael ,
    Thanks for the tip about Fanspeed.  I have seen it around but never thought i had a need of until now.
    I must admit that having all of these extra applications supplied with the motherboard can get a bit confusing - the only real use that Core Center has been to me was the alarm going off letting me know that something serious was wrong!
    What's your opinion on case fans?    Should they be EXTRACT, INTAKE or a mixture? Most people i read about say exhaust fans are best to take away the hot air, while others claim intake fans help keep a flow of air around the CPU cooler.

  • K8T Neo-FIS2R / Kingston KVR400X64C25/256

    As a first time poster my apolgies if this has been covered elsewhere - I have read most of the posts on this forum but found no specific reference. Please just point me in the right direction if i am wrong!
    I bought the Kingston KVR400X64C25/256 modules because:
    a) they were listed by MSI on the list of tested Ram
    b) they were on Kingston's list for the K8T NEO &
    c) they were in stock. However...
    If installed in DIMM 2 & 3 (as per MSI tested RAM pdf) the system crashes on trying to load Windows. DIMM 1 & 2 'works' if that allows for 8 or 9 restarts/day. I  tried 1 & 3 to see if that improved the situation, but if anything it was worse. I have tried increasing the RAM voltage to 2.6 but there is no discernable difference. Upping the TRCD to 4 makes little or no difference.
    Memtest86+ initially found no errors (16 hrs/93 passes) but when left running for a week came up with 10 errors (8 in test 6, 2 in test 4). MemTest (http://hcidesign.com/memtest/) gives me an average of 10 errors for 300% pass.
    I'm now trying running the memory at 2.7v (within Kingston's ±.25v range).
    In the meantime, has anyone run this memory without any problem - i.e. is it a simple case of faulty memory? Equally, has anyone had similar problems and found a solution?
    thanks

    hmmm! What if memtest, Prime95 etc. detect no problem over lengthy periods when sticks are individually tested in DIMM1 - as well as the system not crashing once - , but boot failures/memory dumps etc. abound when same sticks are individually placed at 2 or 3? Is this still a memory issue?
    For what it's worth I have found Kingston's technical support more than helpful.

  • MSI K8T NEO-FIS2R: RAM problems

    I have the motherboard K8T NEO-FIS2R with AMIBIOS 2VMS V2.0 010505.
    I tried these DDR-RAM:
    DDR-RAM 512MB PC400 CL3 Kingston KVR400X64C3A/512
    DDR-RAM 512MB PC400 CL3 Samsung
    but the motherboard recognizes only 256 MB for both. The RAM are good: I tried them in an other pc!
    Now I have installed an A-DATA ram 256 MB and the motherboard recognizes 256 MB!
    Do you think that my motherboard is defective?
    Thank you in advance.
    P.S. I'm sorry for my bad english.
     

    No the memory controller is onboard the CPU so in any case the MB is not defective. However the CPU revision may hold you back on some RAM especially if you mix make and model RAM on the same channel. A socket 754 CPU only has one channel so all RAM must be matched to work properly.
    If those Sticks can only be seen as a wrong value when used by themselves it is likely that either they have errors or the timings in Bios are improperly set to azllow them to work. In this case you can normally find out what is going on by running memtest86. If you get errors on test 5 or 7 then you have timgs timed improperly and any other errors would show bad RAM.
    Another case is not having enough power for everything to work properly together. Usually this happens when you don't have enough 12v amps for these newer rigs.
    Post complete specs and test results and maybe we can help you further.

  • MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R - help please :(

    When i first got this board + my Athlon 64bit 3200+ I just left everything in bios at default, and counter-strike bullet registration was amazing, the FSB clock said 133, (no i did not imagine this as ive had two of these boards and they both said 133fsb when i went to bios).... one day my p.c wouldnt boot up, i did a series of tests and couldnt find what was wrong, i eventaully reset cmos and still it would not boot up properly. So i got a new harddrive and that seemed to solve the problem, only this time when i went to bios instead of the FSB saying 100-280, it said 190-280, now counter-strike bullet reg has totally gone and plays like , oh sure good frames per second but it doesnt feel instant, i want 133fsb back quite desperately, i was hoping one of you kind people could tell me if theres fsb jumpers on my board or how i can get 133fsb back, wont let me below 190 at the moment :(
    Thanks

    below are my specs,similar to yours.  the issue is in the audigy card .. remove it , try a different card ( live ) if some one can resolve this please let me know too..
     I have a problem ,when ever I boot my system hangs ( at sound card) ,if I power down and reboot a few seconds later its fine.if I leave it running its fine,only on a cold start. if I remove my audigy card this problem goes away, I can use other cards ,but not the audigy, did you ever have this issue ,or know any one who has had an irq issue like this( I think its in the irq) ...............

  • MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R, BIOS flash???

    I'm trying to flash my bios but i get this wrong message after restart: CMOS SETTINGS WRONG, if you have built sata raid array previously, go to "P20378 sata controller" set as raid. I've tried that but it dosn't help.......what should i do???
    Motherboard: MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R
    Harddrives 2 x S-ATA Western Digital 250 Gb, 2 x IDE Seagate 80 Gb 

    i used to get that almost every time i update BIOS. I forgot the fix, but we need to know as Tiresmoke said whether u r at all using the promise. if Via serials r enough for u (which in this case they r since u only hv 2 sata hd's) then just use these and see what happens.
    did u also try to load bios defaults? i think i used to do this when i get that error msg

  • Booting "issues" with K8T Neo-FIS2R

    Well hello everyone. First of all I want to say that my English isn't completely error-free and my problem might seem awkward because of my ways of expression.
    I also want to say that i've read alot of threads and searched the forum for my problem.
    For a couple of days ago I got all my parts for building my 64bit-system and I build her up. To my suprise it booted, with almost no errors. Although I could install Windows XP and use it completely, everytime I boot it (under the booting sequence) it says "Bios is not installed", although I can enter bios simply (like everyone else) just pushing the DEL-button.
    But this isn't the only problem. When I enter PC Health Status it says that the cpu is running at whooping 62-65 degrees. When i have my hand around the cpu-cooler it doesn't even feel warm so I think it has something to do with my BIOS-version that i am running now (Yes, I've read that in much more threads)
    Also I have problems using the Cool'n'Quiet technology. I have it supported in the BIOS and activated it although it will not work (maybe it has something to do with the bios?) With this i mean that i will not go underclocked (It's allways 2.2 GHz)
    My final problem is that it sometimes takes the system 2 minutes to boot sometimes, it happend after i flashed the bios to 1.7 from 1.0
    Under these circumstances I've used 1.0 AND 1.7 BIOS-versions.
    I've never overclocked the computer either.
    What could be wrong?
    I'm using 3200+ 2.2GHz Athlon 64 cpu.

  • K8T Neo-FIS2R with Athlon 64 4000+ mobile CPU

    Doing some research on the net, I found out recently that the older mobile CPUs differ from desktop ones just by the lack of a heat spreader on top of the core. And I read up about many successful updates from ppl using the mobile CPU on the desktop socket 754 boards. This is for my 2nd system listed in my sig below - the  K8T Neo-FIS2R. I found a pretty good deal on the Newark CPU AMN4000BKX5BU recently (4000+). I took my existing 3000+ CPU out and I separated the heat-spreader from it. Underneath it's almost identical, except the core is a few mm larger than the mobile CPU. I mounted the heat spreader on the 4000+ CPU and made sure the core has good contact with the heat-spreader (checked the thermal paste imprint). Mounted the CPU in and the board powers on but doesn't POST. I then put my 3000+ in and works just fine. I repeated this 3 times, and just couldn't get the 4000+ to be recognized by the mobo. I thought the CPU may be bad, but it comes from a good source, so even though it's still a possibility, I started doing more research. And then I realized that I forgot to change the core voltage in BIOS from 1.5 to AUTO. The mobile CPU is rated for 1.35v. Do you think this is what affected it? Or is it because I'm on BIOS v.1.9 ? Latest BIOS is 7.1, but all versions passed 1.9 only introduced compatibility with Sempron CPUs (which I'm not using) and it limited DDR recognition to 333 only. I'm using DDR400 which is running well at 200MHz. All higher BIOS levels don't allow to run it in stock speed at higher than 166MHz. So that's why I wanted to keep the v.1.9.
    Any ideas why the 4000+ CPU wouldn't be recognized by this board?
    Thanks in advance!

    I'm making some headway, but in effect, I temporarily hindered this system more than it was I got the CPU to finally work, but it only recognizes 1/4 of the memory I used to have... here are the details:
    I upgraded BIOS to the latest 7.1 and the installed 4000+ CPU didn't allow the system to POST neither. I then cleared the CMOS and just for good measure removed 1 of my memory sticks (I had 2x1GB, as listed in my sig for the lower system). Then the old faithful came to life again After making more test I noticed that no matter what I do, whether I use DDR400 or DDR333 sticks (I also have those in 2x1GB), the only way it works is with a single stick in DIMM1. In manual, the configurations show that that memory can be inserted in different DIMM sockets, not necessarily the 1st one, but in my case, no other setup works than a single stick in DIMM1. As I mentioned earlier, BIOS versions above 1.9 (I checked them all in the past) don't allow DDR400 to run at 200MHz, but only at 166. Also, ver.7.1 reports CPU temperature incorrectly, about 10 degrees Celcius lower than it actually is. I actually noticed that in the past with my other CPU, too. Since nothing else could be accomplished here, I decided to go back to BIOS v.1.9. But the situation relating to RAM didn't change. It still only functions fine with a single stick in DIMM1.
    I also tried resetting CMOS several times at different occasions, and when reset in ver.7.1 it would POST with 2 sticks of RAM in, but after loading BIOS settings, it would work fine (only as far as POSTs, because I never booted to OS during these tests) and would restart fine as long as it wasn't completely shut down. Once it was shut down, it wouldn't POST again.
    In ver.7.1, the CPU was recognized by BIOS correctly as 4000+, however back at ver.1.9 BIOS recognizes it as 4200+ (something that doesn't exist for socket 754, AFAIK). However, the DDR400 is again working at 200MHz and the CPU core temp is reported correctly.
    In ver.1.9 the CPU voltage when set to AUTO would run at about 0.9v, which might've been causing no POSTs until CMOS was reset. I manually lowered it to the minimal setting possible of 1.4v. It is rated at 1.35v and now is reported to run at 1.38v and still much cooler than my older desktop CPU 3000+. From what I read, AMD was doing binning on the mobile athlons, so I'm sure all of them can work fine even at 1.5v or higher, if needed.
    Anyway, I temporarily gave up and decided to wait for some golden thoughts from you guys (or MSI Support, whom I also contacted about this, but it'll be a miracle if they respond with some help). Then I booted up into Windows, and even though CPU-Z recognizes the single stick of 1GB RAM I left there, Windows only reports it as 512MB. Also, CPU-Z reports the CPU in one spot as 4000+ and then in another (a little below) as 4200+. I guess the multiplier of x13 causes the confusion? Could that also be the reason for not recognizing more memory? I also tried lowering the HT Link in BIOS to 200 and 600MHz and that didn't help as far as allowing to use the 2nd stick of RAM. Please check the below screenshots for more details.
    Thanks

  • K8T Neo-FIS2R wont copy drivers...

    Hi all i ahve been looking through the forums for a long time now. I can find anyone with the exact problem as me. I will list my specs first.
    K8T Neo-FIS2R K8T800
    Seagate 160GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive
    CORSAIR XMS Xtreme Memory Speed Series, Xtra-Low Latency 184-Pin 1GB(512MBx2) DDR PC-3200 w/ Platinum Heat Spreader
    AMD Athlon 64 3400+, 1MB L2 Cache, 64-bit Processor
    ATI RADEON 9800PRO Video Card, 128MB DDR, 256-bit, DVI/TV-Out, 8X AGP
    Aspire 520W 12V Black Triple Fan Aluminum Power Supply
    Okay heres the problem. I run the windows XP pro sp2 install cd and then i get to the screen were you press S. That works and it gives me a list and i pick the first XP one on the list. Then i press enter and it starts loading the files. At a certain point when it starts the windows setup it says that it cannot copy the following files; VIAMRAID.SYS, VIAMRAID.cat, and VIAMRAID.inf so i use the skip option. The computer runs through the copys the rest of the stuff fine then restarts like it should. When it gets to the windows loading screen it gives me a blue screen error about the HDD or something. Now i have no clue whats wrong with it there is no reason that it should not work.

    Sounds like a flakey floppy, if cable is wrong way, then the floppy led is lit all the time. Does your cable have the crossover wires to end connector, use the end of cable connector, maybe try another floppy cable, if it does use read or boot from a win98 startup disk, then it  is the floppy drive or cable. Could of course be bad floppies, but not usual if you are trying several differant ones ( unless they have been beside a magnetic sourde, like telephone). I would try another cable, then another floppy drive. One or other should fix it, as your bios settings appear good.
    Is the floppy shown on first page in bios setup - Standard Cmos Features.

    MSI sent me the v1.93 bios. I updated my  MOBO. Now heres one question since this seagate is new and everything else is. Should i have done a full format on the HDD instead of a quick before i tried installing it. My friend is saying thats what i should have been doing instead of the quick format for partitioning.
    I update ya on whats going on. Well the new bios didnt change anything. I also did full format on the HDD dudring the windows setup. It took forever to finish the format. Even after the full format it still didnt work.. I tested jockos cable theory and it did not work. And my floppy drive is show as floppy A
