How did you monitor the volts?
Does your PSU have a -5V rail?
Because my brothers doesnt so he cant see the display, and the BIOS he is using doesnt monitor Vdimm.
Can anyone suggest a program/BIOS version that does?
Thanks.

Why not look at the display on the booster?
The display doesnt work without a -5V rail, my bother doesnt have a -5V rail on his PSU. :(Quote:

do NOT use that booster without knowing exactly what voltages your setting it to, all your gunna do is fry your ram or fry the mobo.
OCZ's website says the booster is only good up to 3.4v thats not true it will handle 3.8 just fine. your ram is gunna get red hot at 3.8v lol but the board will handle it.
i got some Corsair XMS PC3500 old school BH-5 coming in a few days so ill try that out and report back.
Sideeffect do you have anyways to setup 1.36 rev4 or 1.8 rev3 to run on bh-5 ?
or will i just have to use the usual 2-2-2-5 setting. ?
MSIMAX -
why are you running your AGP at 67 ?
what up guys, thought I'd update ya, I just installed my X2 4400+ :D
ADA4400DAA6CD
CCBWE 0523VPMW
does this look good? been out for too long, got too much reading to do :P
send it to me ill test her out and let you know if its any good ;)
my neo2 won't boot with my new e6 venice. I get 2 red lights and 2 orange lights
did you flash to the new bios guy ?
you must upgrade.
also pull out the memory and use only 1 stick then see
reset the cmos using the jumper.
yada yada same ol tricks,., but be sure to upgrade to atleast 1.A or 1.B thats just gunna make sure you have the latest running bios from MSI
im running 1 stick of pdp xbl. tried resetting cmos but same issue. how can i flash the bios when it wont boot properly?

You can't, the BIOS isn't the problem anyway.Quote:

If you know the board works try reseating the CPU.
And whats the system do when u power it up?
Its possible he had a pre 1.36 bios on the motherboard. You still have the newcastle to put in and then flash to another bios?
like i said or i guess i didnt say i only implied it
stick in whatever chip you had before and reflash it to the 1.B bios.
i say the 1.B cuz that offers full support for the X2 plus Sideeffect has fixed a few things.
6 More BIOS's Added to the page...
1.B3 Beta
1.B3 Beta Mod by Murdok
1.B3 Beta XMOD by Murdok & Sideeffect
1.B3 Beta Mod by Sideeffect
1.B3 Beta Mod by Syar
1.B2 Beta Mod by Syar
BTW does anyone have anymore info on the XMOD?
USB2.0 Enabled or anything?
I bought the board used and never had another chip in it.
You said u get 2 red lights and 2 orange lights when u boot up, we need to know what lights are what colors tho. There is a lot of combinations where 2 lights are red and 2 are orange.Quote:

When i power it up, all the fans spin, hard drive seems to work, floppy drive has a light and it all seems good. My case doesn't have a speaker so no beeps i can use.
In the back, i have red lights on the bottom left and top right, and orange lights on the bottom right and top left.
I will ask about the bios.
In my neo2 manual this is what it says about that step of the POST.
So yeah it sounds like its hanging when trying to identify ur CPU.Quote:
-BIOS Sign On
This will start showing information about logo, processor brand name, etc...
I'd say find out what BIOS the board has, and if its pre 1.36 then your guna have to use another CPU like SE and lestat recommended.
Or you can buy a bios chip with the latest NEo 2 bios from here Badflash.com
Then you just have to switch the bios chips over. Then after you can boot you can hot flash the old chip to a new bios as well and then you have a spare.
Its always good to have a spare bios chip. Especially with all the different beta and mod bios files that are out at the moment to try.
Of course, if you don't want to spend the money for another bios chip, you can do a hot swap bios flash if you have another motherboard with the same type of bios chip socket. Just use the same flash software as the original motherboard's bios. Be sure to disable bios caching before doing this.
guys I need some help with my timing, I have OCZ EL GOLD PC4400 Memory and I need to find some good timing to get me overclocking, I would like to get the new VX series but can't right now, so any help would be appreciated
Also I'm using the latest MSI bios 1.A and I'm wondering if anyone else is having problems with USB 2.0? all of a sudden windows is saying I don't have any usb 2 capable ports when I used to....
previous owner says 1.9 official MSI beta bios.Quote:

so far I got my 4400 to 2.5 although I have to use 3-4-4-8 timings, I'm also amazed at the temp and wondering if they are infact true, right now idle its at 25C which would be a first for me as my FX53 would idle round 38-40 and even my 3700 around the same
I have switched to Rev2 ... for me it seems more stable than TCCD version ...
I continu my test but I begin to be lazy of test stability :( ... Why the nf3 doesn't support high fsb in sync ?! with a dfi nf4 my sticks run @ 290mhz lol
Continue the great work ! all modders/dev/testers ;)
alright I've gotten up to around 2.6 with my x2 4400 but I'm wondering how I can set the voltage in bios since I can't seem to go above 1.4-1.45, I saw some others got up to 1.54 or so and I'm wondering how they got theirs up there as mine doesn't seem to allow it
