Zalman CNPS7700 and K8N Neo2 Platinum

Does anyone know if the Zalman CNPS7700 or CNPS7000 will fit on the K8N Neo2 Platinum.
Thanks

Hi,
Could anyone confirm that the zalman cnps7000(A/B) coolers can be use with MSI K8N Neo2 stock backplate or if the zalman backplate have to be used ?
Thanks.....
From SAB´s FAQ.....
Zalman has revised the fastening types in their 7000 series HSF's - and choosing the proper model will ensure that the stock MSI backing plate removal is not required.

ATI 9000 and K8N Neo2 Platinum

Hello, I have a K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard, 1gig (2x 512mb) Dual PC4000 Crucial Ballistix memory, AMD 64bit 3000+ Winchester and a ATI Radeon 9000 pro 128mb. I am waiting on my X800 XT PE 256 arriving, but in the mean time i am having some trouble running Counter-Strike on this set up, my old system with same graphics card could run CS with 100fps no problem, but now it drops to around 30fps in a heavy gun fight, I have dropped all open gl and D3D setting to performance, messed around with the bios setting's but nothing help's, also I have tried many different ATI driver versions but nothing help, if anyone has had the same problems or can offer any possible causes solutions I would be very gratefull. Oh I have a OCZ 520W PSU

Leon28,
The Radeon should perform at least as well as it did on your old comp. Are you using the same version of the Catalyst Drivers you used in your old comp?
You can get the latest ATi Drivers to see if it makes a difference.
Take Care,
Richard

Buffalo pc3200 dd433-r1g and K8N Neo2 Platinum

I bought a Buffalo 1Gb PC3200 (dd4333L-R1G/MD) for my K8N Neo2 Platinum. I put on the "green" slot (unique RAM Module) and...........Nothing, my "cacharro" dont boot. Is the RAM type (brand, etc) or is "this" particular modula that isbad or something? HELP! please (excuse my english, regards from Chile)

Try other RAM sockets. Worst case reset the Bios.

AMD 4000+ and K8N Neo2 Platinum ?

The regular AMD 4000+ (San Diego Core or Venice Core) will work on the K8N Neo2 Platinum right?

You looked in the wrong place: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=587. As for why. later CPUs had improvements which require updated BIOS support.

Dual Core AMD and K8N Neo2 Platinum boards?

Can I run a X2 AMD CPU on this board?

Yes , for both cores to be recognized you need bios version 1B and later .

Few question above the k8n neo2 platinum and raid

hi
i have for now intel 3.4ghz and asus p4c800dlux and 4 sata drives :
2x36giga wd 10000 raptors in raid 0 (connected to the on board promise sata controller)
2x200giga wd 7200 jd sata that (connected to on bard sata ports)
i order a athlon fx-55 and k8n neo2 platinum for a oc (a have 2x512 corsiar pc4000pro and hydro cool 200 ) and its look that its going to be problem
"SATA ports 1+2 will not maintain a lock and you can and will corrupt hard drives placed on these channels if you raise the HTT above 220mhz."
http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=ge...890&articID=228
so im in a problem, if i wont to do nice oc (and i will) i need to leave sata ports 1 and 2 not connected and buy a sata-pci controller for my 2x200giga , im right ?
in that case i need to connect the raptors in raid 0 in the sata 3-4 prots (near the agp) but:
the raid on the noe2 is "NV RAID (Software)" it means that there is no a controller like promise and the cpu need to replace the controller work, so its doing a lower performance.

If you had 4 huge drives I would be more sympathetic. To me every board is a compromise, resulting in me having to abandon something I might have done previoulsy. In you case ditch the two 36gb drives, and slum it with the 200gb drives. Remember that "overclocking" is not a right. There will be many users oblivious of the SATA 1/2 overclocking problems running 4 sata drives in RAID without a problem.

Is this RAM ok for a K8N NEO2 Platinum

I am currently building a system and have got my FX-53 and K8N NEO2 Platinum but i have hit a problem in that i dont know what memory to get for it i have been looking at this http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=116120&cks=PRL
or if this is no good could some one recommned me one perhaps from this list
http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/kl.asp?bn=10529

If you know very little about memory, then what it IS telling you, you won't understand. Here's a tip....on the offset, don't spend a lot of money on memory just yet. Purchase some PC3200, like Kingston KVR RAM or Kingmax...something relatively inexpensive...until you begin to understand timings and voltage adjustments. You will not have any problems with this type of memory, and usually...initial boot-up goes very smoothly.
Then, after you start to play with timings and such...when you begin to feel comfortable with making these adjustments, and you know your system is stable....then you could experiment with higher-performance RAM.
That's just how I do it..as I am conservative when first assembling a computer!

Reboot problem with MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum and 250 GB SATA HDD

I'm having a "reboot" problem with my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum. After turning my system on it will run without any problems, until I reboot. After a reboot it will always hang after the initial windows-bootscreen. The HDD-light will remain on. If, instead of going into Windows XP SP2, I try to enter the BIOS after a reboot (DEL) the system will also hang (blank screen with blinking cursor).
It started doing this after I installed the Maxtor 250 GB SATA disk. Before, I didn't have problems rebooting. If I disconnect the Maxtor drive I can reboot and enter BIOS and Windows each and every time. Reconnecting the Maxtor 250 GB SATA drive will return the reboot problem. I always have to use the power swith to get a working system again. It's not enough to do a hard reset (this has the same effect as rebooting).
Here are the details of my system:
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (BIOS 1.B)
Athlon 64 3200+ (Winchester, 2 Ghz, 512 KB cache, stepping DH-D0)
2 x Kingston KVR400X64C25/512, 512 MB, DDR, PC3200 (2,5-3-3-8 T1)
Asus Radeon AX800 Pro (256 MB)
PSU Antec Sonata 380W
HDD Maxtor 80Gb ATA (6Y080P0, Pri Master)
HDD Seagate 250Gb SATA (ST3200822AS)
HDD Maxtor 250Gb SATA (6V250F0 - jumpered in SATA150 mode, the mobo wouldn't work with the drive in SATA300-mode)
Aopen COM5232/AAH Pro CD-Writer ATA (Sec Master)
BenQ DW1640 DVD-Writer ATA (Sec Slave)
P.S. The NVidia IDE-drivers are NOT installed. System is not overclocked.

Thank you for all the replies. Upgrading to the latest Nvidia IDE-drivers did not fix my problem. Moving to other SATA-ports did not help either. Upgrading the mobo's BIOS is not really an option (I'm using one version before the most recent and there isn't anything in the fixlist of the latest BIOS).
Now I've contacted Maxtor for (hopefully) a new firmware.

MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum AND SATA2

i have MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard with 3500+ cpu and WD 160 hard sata disk.
I 'd like to ask if my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard support sata2 hard disk drives, in order to know which HD to connect as a second HD drive, SATA or SATA 2 ??

It'll see SATA2 as regular SATA. You won't loose any speed either. There are no hard drives that actually benefit from SATA2 spec speeds. Well, maybe in isolated near theoretical benchmark cases one current model might be faster in SATA2 mode.
We just haven't got the technology yet.

MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum and Venice E6

Hi!
I have just bought an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard and an AMD Athlon64 3000+ processor with Venice E6 core (ADA3000DAA4BW).
Will this mobo boot with that processor? Or do i have to use a Winchester to flash the BIOS first? Personal experiences would be helpful!
Andres.

Your new board probably came with the 1.9 bios. The new 7025v1B.zip bios (1B only a couple days old) I think is for some of the new X2 AMD Processors. The MSI link to Products/Mainboards/Neo2/Processor Compatibility is now setup to use the 7025v1B.zip bios. As I recall the previous Processor Compatibility Chart for 1.9 bios was OK for all the Venice cores (E6 or not). I think it is only some of the latest E6 bigger models are affected by the latest 1B bios. Maybe someone has the older 1.9 bios Processor Compatibility Chart.
You shouldn't need to use a Winchester, some X2 processors would be recognized as earlier X1 models until the newer bios was installed. I think you should be OK with the 1.9 bios. I have the San Diego 4000+ and my board, one month old, came with the 1.9 bios installed.

Msi k8n neo2 platinum and corsair cmx512-3200LL

is anyone using the corsair cmx512-3200LL with the msi k8n neo2 platinum or any other motherboards? if so how well does that memory overclock for you?

LL used winbond CH-5 or BH-5 or Infineon B-5 depending on revision .
And everybody knows that it's hard to overclock winbond very far without excessive vdimm increase (2.9v - 3.4v).
Corsair XL use samsung TCCD and overclocks much easier when having a motherboard with a vdimm limit at 2.85v.
xms 4xxx also use samsung (TCCC or TCCD) and some versions use hynix D43/D5
so you can't directly compare xms3200LL with the others .

Cool and Quiet problem on K8N Neo2 Platinum v1.3 bios

Hello
I have a problem with the Cool and Quiet feature on the K8N Neo2 Platinum (v1.3 bios).
As soon and I boot the Core Center v1.7.0.0 will instantly overclock my A64 3500+ CPU to 3000+ Mhz. Of course this reboots my PC.
I have Cool and Quiet enabled in the bios, Automatic overclocking disabled in the bios and the Core Center softwares overclocking is (well it was) disabled? How can I install it or get it to stop overclocking the system.
I want to run the Core Center to enable the Cool and Quiet fan controlling stuff.
Thanks

Strange that Corecenter would overclock your cpu to 3ghz. It's known to be unreliable software, but not that unreliable.
Are you running a stock 3500+, or are you overclocking the HTT/FSB beyond 200?
Previous posted was right about cool and quiet software. You don't need corecenter to run it. Just stay away from corecenter and even uninstall it
Cool and quiet software (a device driver that you download from AMD, or that comes pre-installed with XP SP2) simply works as follows. It introduces the notion of several p-states (processor states) that it switches between based on its reading of cpu load. A p-state is a pairing of cpu voltage and cpu multiplier. On my 3200+ newcastle, the p-states are:
1.5V, 11x
1.4V, 10x
1.3V, 9x
1.1V, 5x
Your 3500+ might be similar. Anyway, just run cpu-z instead of corecenter to watch your cpu speed changing on the fly.
As far as fan speeds go: the cool and quiet driver doesn't affect fan speeds. That means to get the "quiet" part of "cool and quiet" you need either
(a) a fan that has a temperature sensor and which automatically changes its speed based on that, or
(b) just use the motherboard BIOS setting to do the same via bios software.
(c) use speedfan to do the same via windows software.
I myself prefer (b) but it depends on the bios accurately reporting temperature, which can vary wildly between bios releases (e.g. newcastles didn't start getting accurate temp reports until bios 1.4).

MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum Fan

For some reason the small chipset fan on my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum mobo has become a lot louder, I think it is running at higher RPMs that before. It starts up loud even if the computer is doing a cold boot from room temperature. Is there anyway to control this fan speed and quiet it down? and if I slow it down, will it hurt my motherboard? This fan is now louder than my graphics card fan, which makes it the loudest fan in my case even though it is the smallest.

Thanks for you reply, the only problem with the Zalman is that it's really big and I think my MSI NX6800GT's cooler would get in the way.

K8n neo2 platinum problems

ok guys I've been looking all over the internet and cannot find any answers to my problem.
I have an MSI K8N neo2 platinum running easybios
AMD Opteron 146
2gb Ballistixs pc4000
30gb maxtor
120gb maxtor
2x dvd rw drives
nvidia 6800 agp
sound blaster live 24bit
I run windows x64 and after flashing my bios form 1.6 (I think) to 1b I kept getting errors e.g. "ROM cannot invoke" (or something), and primarily "disk read error", now the disks show up in the bios, they show up in a windows install but it just won't boot from them. I have flashed to easybios and the rom error went away but the disk read one was still there. I am now reinstaling windows x64 but would like to know how to fix such a problem if it were to happen again. Both my drives are IDE and are on the IDE0 cable with master and slave correctly set.
Also the temperature readings for my processor are 42 degrees celcius when everything is at stock and I have a zalman 9500 heatsink fan on it running at full speed. This is obviously wrong - is there any way to fix this?
Thanks
Daven

I has the exact issue with my board, except it was with the SATA drives. I flashed with e few BIOS', and the newest one that worked correctly was 1.8
If it was me, I would reflash to BIOS 1.8
Post back with your results.
Also, even though you are installing Windows again, it will most likely corrupt your installation, as it did mine, twice, before I figured out the problem.

MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum cooler

is this cpu cooler zalman CNPS7000B-Cu compatible with the k8n neo2 platinum nf3 motherboard? i cant find it anywhere in zalmans compatability list, if it does fit the board, what does fitting it entail? can i install it like a normal hs/f or are there special fitting instructions, if so where can i find these instructions? already tried google

The Zalman cooler is heavy, but its fine as long as the nipples are tightly fastened and the screws that going into the nipples, that hold the cooler in place are tightly fastened..
Also use some artic silver 5 thermal compound and ensure you read the
http://www.arcticsilver.com/arctic_silver_instructions.htm
for instructions on fitting a AMD64 processor, arctic silver recommend a different technique for these types of processor , Im sure theres not much different in the end result, but I like to do things by the manufacturers book as they generall know best.
Good luck

Zalman CNPS7700 and K8N Neo2 Platinum
