MSI K8N NEO4 the Platinum sample board publication

MSI K8N NEO4 the Platinum sample board publication, the first in kind sample test,

the content renews as necessary! !

Uses newest nForce 4 Ultra chip the main Engineer board: MSI K8N NEO4

Platinum (MS-7125) this but the entire Taiwan only has this to be possible to

Operation the sample, because is the ES1 project sample, therefore on M/B has jump

the line, the market version cannot have.. Asks user to feel relieved....

looks nice...should give nice stable Vcore...hopefully. Layout is pretty good, altho I would have prefered the SATA connectors up farther and and the right edge of the board. But otherwise thats a nice board. Must hope its another NEO 2 in terms of overclocking. :D

When is this board going to be released?

Looks like the older sata1 3114 silicon image controller. Wonder why they didn't use the newer 3124 sata2 one?

Early Dec?

I'd like to see a shootout between this board and the DFI NF4 when they're released. The BIOS options looks really good on the MSI (I wish they would have considered implementing these options on the Neo2). But if the DFI 754 is an indication of anything, the 939 board will have BIOS options galore that will keep most tweakers up all night. :D The Holidays looks to be a very promising time for us to look forward to.

This board looks really nice, a couple mods and using the booster could give the dfi a run

yep, looks like these boards will be alittle more than just AMD64 boards w/ PCI-E. More boards with more tweaks and more ways to overclock. Ya! Go MSI, DFI, and all the like. As for SSE3 thats more of a chip funtion than a board funtion. We'll have to wait for the...I believe its the rev. E chips for that. PCI-E, and more on its way. AMD's got it going good and they'll be sticking to it, it appears.

This nf4 chip is" ENG SAMPLE" The A02 edition, beginning of next year will sell the edition could be above A03 (because A02 will carry out nTUNE... no to be stable)

slightly tests OC 300MHz the ability :D
http://my.so-net.net.tw/johnnyliu/MS...x8_1t_2.7v.JPG

run SUPER PI 1M
http://my.so-net.net.tw/johnnyliu/MS...1t_2.7v_1m.JPG

Similar condition OC 310MHz (DDR620), felt is good more advantageous than NEO2 to overclock!
http://my.so-net.net.tw/johnnyliu/MS-7125/310MHZ.JPG

At present clockgen has not supported NEO4, so only can use the BIOS adjustment :(

Thats quite the chipped core on the NF4 chip, you got there.

Mmm! But it can't affect operates this M/B ;)

That is does no problem ;) , another day will try 0441SPMW 3000+ on nf4 :D

don't suppose you would have any freon equipement like a Mach 2 or Vapochill LS to test it on?

There lots of users on here who cannot use their Winchester core cpu's correctly with the current s939 boards (especially the Neo2) so it would be great to know if the Neo4 works correctly at sub zero temps!

BIOS updata, the nf 4 frequencies may upward arrive 370Mhz+ :banana:
