Xp-120 on msi neo plat (754) with arctic rev3 agp cooler

I want to put a thermalright xp-120 on my msi neo plat s754 board. looking at some pics, the heatpipes seem very close to the agp slot.
I have an arctic cooling rev3 cooler on my connect3d 9800pro, and I'm not sure if there is enough clearance between the heatpipe and the bracket on the side of the AGP card.
anyone else got this setup working ?
thanks

Please elaborate a bit more on the results.. what were the actual temperature difference? what was the noise difference? did you o/c? etc etc etc...
The results you posted there mean totally nothing since you don't state on what grounds you placed them on those places.

  • Msi Neo Plat & A64 3000

    Hi guys
    Well finally after a few months of waiting ive got rid of my stock A64 cooler and had chance to fiidle with some overclocking i really would like some advise on my recent overclcock perhaps some of you guys know where i might be able to tweak my system alittle bit here's the details
    System
    A64 3000+
    MSI Neo Plat
    2 X 512mb Crucial Ballistix PC4000
    Radeon x800 pro Vivo
    Hiper 450w PSU
    60gig seagate IDE HDD
    80gig seagate SATA HDD
    Cooling
    Thermalright SLK-978u
    Artic Cooling rev4
    so far i have reached this
    FSB 235 x 10 @ 1.65v mem @ 2.5,3,3,10 @ 1.70v
    temps are around 39
    3DMark 2001 = 23766
    3DMark 2003 = Havent try'd yet :p
    So are my mem timings good ive try'd higher FSB but couldn't seem to get it without upping my volts,  im thinking that it might be my memory settings holding me back but not really sure
    Cheers for reading

    Second double sided dimm in the 7030's seem to really give it headaches.  WILL NOT run @ 1:1 no matter what I do.  Automatically defaults it to 166 divider no matter what slots or bios settings I try.  I managed to get them to run @ 200 by OC'ing to 240fsb but even then I had to use way worse timings than they would do by themselves.  OCZ is the only manufacturer I have found that makes a 1 Gig stick that runs at the same timings as their 512 Mb sticks.  When I get one of those babies I'll really be able to see what this thing will do @ 1:1.  Probaly only get to 220 or so with pc3200 but doing it @ 1:1 with good timings will be sweet!

  • Just bought SATA2 250GB WD HD for MSI Neo Plat ver 1 (7030).

    I just bought a SATA2 250GB Western Digital HD for my MSI Neo Plat ver 1 (7030).
    I'm currenlty using the 1.7 BIOS.
    I've always used IDE up to this point.
    I haven't yet installed my new drive but I'm a little nervous.
    Are there any gotchas waiting for me?
    What I want to do is copy my partitions from my old IDE HD to my new SATA2 HD.
    Something tells me that this is not going to go so smoothly - don't ask me why, it's gut feeling 
    I predict BSOD when I try to boot from my new HD.
    Any advice from people who have done this using the MSI Neo Platinum 1 ?
    Can you have both IDE and SATA drives connected at the same time so that I can do a partition copy?
    I think that MSI Neo Plat 1 is only rated do SATA1 so I'm not sure how it'll behave with my SATA2 drive 
    I'm a pessimist by nature, however, my "gut" instints are normally correct 

    I don´t have the same MoBo as you, so there might be some differences which I´m not aware of, but basically you could install the Sata drive as new bootdrive with OS and keep the old Pata HDD as backup drive.
    The Sata installation (not raid) is just like a Pata installation except for other cables and MoBo connectors/IF.
    To avoid confusion, disconnect the power from the old HDD and just keep the new Sata drive as the only drive while formatting / installation OS.
    You will only benefit native Sata1 performance, but that almost the same as Sata2 so no big deal ( only the theoretically performance is twice as good ).
    I don´t think there´s no need to change any backward Sata1-2 jumpers on the WD drive, but if I´m wrong there should be such a jumper that limits the performance to Sata1 - You could check at WD website.
    After you´ve reconnected the old HDD - Go into bios ( probably "Advanced" menu ) and set " HDD Boot drive" order ( or called simular ), check and set WD as bootdrive.( don´t mix up HDD boot order with the general Floppy/CD/HDD bootorder).
    Now you still have all your files intact on the old HDD and if you want to, you could ofcourse transfer them to the new drive as well.
    ( You will need to reinstall some programs on the new HDD, that does not work anylonger on the old HDD, but all files are intact)

    SOLVED IT !!. You have to flash the bios to the most current version. Then i used ntune software to optimize the system and last iwnet into the bios and selected optimize settings F7 rebooted and fixed !!!

  • MOVED: MSI Neo 2 platinum with San Diego or Venice

    This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
    MSI Neo 2 platinum with San Diego or Venice

    Here are my results with my Neo2/3000+ Venice:
    I use different apps to OC in Windows after booting with safe settings that I know work. That way if I use an app and push to far, the PC will reset with safe BIOS settings. The key for getting more vcore is to not set the first setting at anything higher than 1.45v. Setting anything after that will only result in it reading as 1.45v - as in your example, where you are setting 1.55v+10% and it only reads 1.59v...That is the same as 1.45v+10%.
    What you'll need to do is install Core Center. Once installed go to Start/All Programs/Start Up, and delete it from there. That will keep it from starting everytime you restart the PC, and only run when you click on the icon. Next, boot at the highest vcore you need to, or 1.45v+10% if you need all 1.59v. Once Windows has loaded open Core Center and use the voltage options there to bump it up slowly. Both my brother and I have Neo2's and I can get 1.725v, while he can get 1.78v to work, all on BIOS v1.A...Hope this helps, good luck.
    Also, if you don't have them, programs like Core Center, the A64 Tweaker, and Clock Gen are very handy and work really well when OCing. Be careful and have fun!

    Hi everyone,
    Suddenly for 4 days ago my pc wouldn't boot up when I pressed the on button(infront). So I toggled the on&off button on my psu and after a few tries my pc booted up. So in the next few days I did the same thing. Weird I tought, since I haven't done anything with my PC.
    And when I would turn off my pc it wouldn't shutdown properly, it just stod there after windows was shutdown, still it would just be running.
    So today I had enough and checked inside the pc. I found the Power switch cable was disconnected from JFP1 , no problem, i'll just plugg it back I thought...
    Then again I tried both sides and tried booting with the button & on&off on PSU, didn't help.
    It only started up(with on&off with psu), all fans were running and light from gfx card, but it didn't get any signals from monitor nor would cd-rom eject. So it was on, but not booting up to windows or bios...
    Also looking at my manual I noticed I'm missing the POWER LED cable in JFP1. I've searched high and low, only found 3-pin POWER LED in JFP2.
    Where is this missing Power led with 2 pins ? Is this cable important?
    Is my psu dieing?
    Can anyone help this gal in desperate need of help? 

    MIST PSUs is manufactured specially by a reputated PSU manufacturer to a dedicated entusiast shop in norway aimed to silent computing among other things .
    MIST as a brand is dedicated to silence .
    They have also come out with CPU-coolers , watercooling , case fans , etc in the MIST line .
    Theese PSUs are well known by overclockers and people wanting sileced products and is top of the line .
    The previous MIST psus were based on FSP/CWT PSUs and MIST where modified silenced models and thourougly tested exclusively for microplex.
    With their new one there have been some secrecy from them about who they have been working with to manufature the current sample .
    The shop has now had a deeper role in setting demands of the products and specs and component choice of the psu to be produced together with the manufacurer.
    It's said that the latest one has been under development over almost one year , and microplex has rejected several
    samples before they got it like they intended .
    (i have a hunch that it's the danish chill-innovation they have worked toghether with)
    This new one is a atx 2.01 based one with two indipendent +12v rails each at 18A , -36A of +12v , and it's efficiancy is very high over the whole specter.
    Max. @ +3.3V and +5V together is 275W.
    Max. @ +12V1 and +12V2 together is 380W.
    Max. @ all outputs together is 500W .

  • MSI Neo 2 platinum with San Diego or Venice

    Hey guys,
    How do you guys get high clocks (2.8ghz +) using any of the bioses for MSI neo 2 platinum EXCEPT for 1.36b for Venice or san diego?.. For all the other bioses, the max vcore is 1.55V + 10%. But even at this limit, the vcore for me is only ~1.59V as detected by the bios, MBM, CPUZ and core center. So i dont know how to give my CPU more juice without using 1.36.. I dont want to use 1.36 because it doesnt support my memory controller and my computer is unstable. I want to use a newer bios that supports san diego's, but i also want high vcore to keep my computer stable at 2.9Ghz. I have used 2.9Ghz before using 1.36 bios but i need 1.4 + 15% vcore (CPUZ and MBM report 1.62V). This was stable using prime 95 for 24hours.... ne suggestions? thanks

    Here are my results with my Neo2/3000+ Venice:
    I use different apps to OC in Windows after booting with safe settings that I know work. That way if I use an app and push to far, the PC will reset with safe BIOS settings.

  • New BIOS (v2.1) for MSI Neo Plat 7030

    I noticed that there are some fairly new BIOS versions available for the MSI Neo Platinum v1.0 (7030).
    I'm currently on BIOS version v1.7 and that's been stable.
    Has anyone tried version v2.1 ?
    I've heard bad things about v1.8 so  I'm not messing with that.

    it is for me
    i only updated BIOS when i was trying out some overclocking, and it gave me some better results, than when i was with BIOS 1.4, which i had used for a year previously with no issues
    if you don't need to update BIOS, then you don't need to update BIOS; its not like updating a driver
    BIOS flashing stupid or not??

  • MSI NEO 4 Platinum with SATA Drive

    I have recently built a new machine with the following specs but I am having problems with system stability in windows and was wondering whether it's because of the way I set up the hard drive.
    Specs:
    MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum
    AMD Athlon 64 3500 Winchester
    Zalman CNPS7000B-Cu
    1GB Corsair XMS PC3200 RAM
    Sapphire X800 XT
    Sound Blaster Audigy Player
    Maxtor 80GB Serial ATA Hard Drive
    Maxtor 40GB IDE Hard Drive
    550W PSU
    I plugged my SATA drive into slot 1 and booted from the maxblast 3 CD to partition and set up the hard drive. I then installed windows 98 and upgraded to windows 2000. My system seems to be slow and laggy, though it seems mostly fine in games. When I listen to music and browse a CD at the same time the sound stutters and lags. I am getting lots of slow down when doing lots of things on the computer but it shouldn't slow down as much as it is. I am also getting windows error messages.
    Is there a different way I should have installed the hard drive. I can't boot from my windows 2000 disk in dos because it's only upgrade version. I read on the forum about adding the SATA drive to a raid array before installing windows but I don't understand what this means. Can you help?
    The floppy drive also doesn't seem to work so I couldn't install SATA drivers at windows setup. How can I get it working because the lead seems to be connected correctly as it gives an error message on boot up with the purple stripe the other side of the floppy drive.

    I can do it with a windows XP upgrade CD surely

    If you have an XP upgrade CD follow the following steps.
    1) Decide which HD you wish to install XP on.
    If the Sata - Then turn of PC & unplug IDE Drive, this is a windows thing, as XP will see the Ide drive b4 the Sata & try to create the 1st drive as system drive. You can plug the ide back in when the install is complete.
    2) Insert XP Cd. Enter Bios - Advanced bios change boot order so that CD is 1st device. or press f11 as pc posts, & select CD.
    3) The PC should now boot from the XP CD.
    You don't need to load any floppy drivers.
    But XP will ask to see a qualifying product, put in your 2000 or 98 CD.
    You should see a Hard drive Partition Setup screen - you can use this to delete any existing partition & format the drive (Don't use the quick format it's only quick cos it dont check for errors so slow & safe is best.  See section How to partition and format your hard disk by using the Windows XP Setup program

  • Advice - K8N Neo Plat users with *NEW* (NCQ) SATA Drives!

    Hi, you can see my specs in my signature, but basically the Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 SATA drive is playing up after a year of perfect use.
    An obvious replacement is the DiamondMax Plus 10... but...
    I know the nForce3 motherboard does NOT support native command queuing (NCQ)... but do I *STILL* need to install the nVidia SATA (IDE) drivers?? Currently I am using only windows IDE drivers (I uncheck the IDE drivers when installing nvidia system drivers).
    Also, are people still having problems running these hard drives on their motherboards?? (K8N Neo & Neo2) - or do all new "DiamondMax Plus 10" hard drives come with the updated BIOS?? (My motherboard BIOS is 1.4 - It is very very stable so I do not want to upgrade this).
    Basically - is there a better hard disk to go for with the K8N Neo Platinum? I want a fast, quiet SATA drive, around 160GB.
    thanks for your help

  • Success with K8N Neo Plat + ATI 9800Pro?

    I'm trying to decide on whether to go with the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB or the GeForce 6800nu. But I've read a lot of places where people have had problems combining the MSI K8N Neo Platinum and the Radeon 9800 Pro cards together... lots of blue screening or choppiness when playing games like FarCry or other heavy hitters. So that's why I'm considering the GeForce card instead, but I'd really like to stick with the ATI if possible.
    So, if you have a combination of that mobo and gfx card, please post the results of your success or problems (and why) along with your system specs.
    Thanks in advance!

    Since my power upgrade to a Tagan 480W, I haven't had any problems anymore! With the new ATi catalyst 4.9 drivers I reached 6005 3DMarks (2003 build 340) yesterday. Without any OC-ing, I think that's great! Before the Tagan psu I had some drops to 3700 3dmarks, so make sure you get a psu with at least 24amps or more on the +12V rail for this kind of system!
    No choppiness in games either, in fact they (Farcry, Colin Mcrae, CoD, Doom3 since 4.9 drvs etc etc) all look great!
    I can really recommend the ATi9800Pro 128 MB + MSI Neo plat. + a AMD64 CPU as lons as you buy a decent psu with it! I mean the ATi9800 Pro has a great price / performance these days
