ola!
i've been at varsity for the last few months had havn't had time to poke around in my pc or to check up on these forums, so when i logged into my account today i found a stockpile of requests for my CPU reference sheet that i put together a while ago and posted on this thread
so here it is for those who still want it, feel free to mod it as you need to
is it my ram or mobo?
90% sure its CPU. Had the same problem with my 3200+ Winchester. No more problem on Opteron.
Heres for you guys looking to get 2X 1GB sets. I will test more later but these mushkin redlines run 2-3-2-5 at stock. Memtest 86 for about 4hrs ALL tests No errors. Well see how for I can push this stuff. Its rated at 3-3-2-8 PC4000.
By the way it just barely fits under my xp-90:) with heat spreaders ON and without haveing to remove HS. X2 chips run alot smoother with 2 gigs:) so far I like them.
Anyone else get an error about option bios during startup? It flashes up on the screen during bootup. I have the latest official MSI bios (1.b?), San Diego 3700, and 2x1 gig gskill ZX. It's all at stock.
Everything seems to work under windows and the error popped up right after I reflashed the bios to 1.b from 1.8 due to going from a flaky winnie and bad ballistix memory to the san diego cpu and gskill mem.
The latest bios is 1.C3 not 1.B. 1.C3 fixes that error.Quote:

what slots do u suggest? I can't boot with them.. but if I swap them with an OEM kit the problem's gone!
Is 1.C3 available from MSI? I thought that was a beta bios...
Well they have all been beta bios's since 1.8 to be honest. Each is based on the last with a fix or added support. The 1.C3 is the same as 1.B except it fixes that issue which you have.

Thx sideeffect. I found the winflash utility and flashed 1.C3 and it seems to work. I did get one anomaly after the flash, but I think it's cleared up. I went into bios setup on the first boot and set everything up including disabling RAID, but the nvidia raid still initialized and attempted to detect arrays. It still booted ok and I went back into bios after a reboot and make sure raid was off, and on the next boot it didn't try to detect raid so maybe that's just a one-time anomaly.
Do you know what the option rom error was all about? I couldn't read the msi site you sent me to due to non-US fonts and not knowing chinese...
If my opteron can take it (CABNE) can i hope for 4X256 (2Xtwinmoss Utt + 2 Kingston Hyper X) 1T at around 250? (if the dimms can do that of course)
No... it won't work, you'd better get 2x512 VX or Redline or whatever does 260~270 @ 2-2-2Quote:

I love them with the 11 multi. Since my cpu tops out at 2.7 these are perfect.:)
Dual spi 32 run, these ram are awesome I will test more later. 2.5-3-2-5 with 2.8v 246x11 1:1 :)
2.5-3-2-7 @2.75v also
This ram rocks:D 10 multi later

They look fantastic sinister1st. Was thinking of getting some 1gb modules sometime and i will get these now. Really takes away the need for a newer motherboard because 1GB sticks are always going to be limited by the cpu memory controller rather than the HTT.
Is that 1T memory timing as well ?
1T for sure SE. :) 2 slots closest to cpu.
These are great for a neo2 with tight timings.:) I love 2gb NO LAG WHATSOEVER WITH ANYTHING. I got mine from new egg best 300 bucks I ever spent. The gskill 2gb will do High HT but I dont think they can do tight timings I was looking at them also but I went with these. The ocz eb should be the same as the mushkin but you cant find them anywhere.
Ill test the 10 multi later on today if I have time.
update 3-3-2-8 270x10 1:1 1t Dual spi stable

I need your help.. my neo2 with my winchester 3200+ and subzero temps don´t work very good, it´s normal?? my winchester with stockcooler and voltage default do 2600mhz +/- with -30 degrees don´t work default, then i put 1,65vcore and work, but only 2850mhz, i do better with stockcooler.. when i put 1,65 vcore my cpu temp its -15 with full load .. and i have to use always mems divisors.. i have patriot xblk and don´t run over 215mhz :mad:
Sounds like coldbug.
I read through part of the thread, but couldnt make it through 140ish pages...
I have the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard and love it, I used CORSAIR XMS 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) in it, and wanted to upgrade to 2 gigs.. I bought a CORSAIR XMS 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200).
I went and put it in my computer and it only registered as having 1.5gigs of ram.. I moved the all 3 around to ever slot, every possible order and all it would do is sometimes drop it to .5gig, or 1gig or 1.5gig but never 2 gigs of ram. I also tested each bit of ram solo and all read as what they are meant to be.
Does anyone know how to solve this? I did read that solt 3-4 are buggy on this board.. is there a patch or am I screwed?
Thanks for any help,
Dale Jacobs
Well this is a thread for Neo 2 not Neo 4 so im not sure how much help you will recieve here.
The problem is that you are using 2 x 512 sticks and 1x1 gb sticks in a dual channel board. This isnt recommended. You really need to sell the 2x512mb sticks and buy another 1gb stick for 2gb to work properly. It also may work if the 1gb stick is double sided and the 2 x 512mb sticks are single sided but it doesnt sound like you have that.
Have you tried enabling software and hardware remapping though in ram options that might help probably wont though.
Because the motherboard is dual channel you really want to run in dual channel mode for best performance single channel is just a waste of time as your effectively at half the speed. Most people will also recommend that you use same size and same manufacturerd modules. Even to go as far as the same batch, that is why dual channel kits are sold in the first place because they are guaranteed to work together.
Athlon64's don't like 3 sticks, period. You either run 1gb + 512mb in single channel, 2x512mb in dual channel, or purchase another 1gb stick and run 2x1gb in dual channel and ditch the 512mb sticks.
Ive been away from the OC scene for sometime now. I have a athlon 64 3000 Winchester, 90nm, MSI K8N Neo2-939, Crucial Ballistix PC4000 BL6464Z505.16TG CL2.4, 1T, Trcd 4 ,Tras 8, Trp 4, 2.8 V. At the moment i have OC'ed at 2.25Ghz Mem divider 200, FSB 250, Multiplier 9. Water cooled. I know this CPU will do allot more.
My question is, is the modded bios (1.cballistix.rar) 70251C3B.BIN for this type of ram or is it for the Ballistix tracer? What im trying to achive is a stable OC at 2.5GHz with memory divider of 183, FSB 278. So Is it worth flashing with this bios with my current ram?
sideeffect, posted this information and it improved memory bandwith
505 sticks set cas 2.5 trp 3 trcd 3 tras 8 2.7 volts, 250 htt 1:1.
505 sticks limit at about 260mhz but at 2.5. Cas 3 doesnt help.
Z505 and Tracer are exactly the same other then the lights on the tracer afaik...
Hi guys Happy christmas http://www.swjka.com/forum10/images/...nta_smiley.gif
I was just wondering, sorry if this was mentioned somewhere earlier in the thread, but how come that with BIOS version 1.8 the Neo2 can manage 350+ FSB (atleast in my case), yet with anything after 1.8 it can't POST even at 300..?
Is it just a higher NB voltage, or something else? Thanks :)
Oh, and by the way, Merry Christmas:exclaim:
