is there something wrong with my opty... just last friday i was idleing at 33c... then i finally put my mobo in my case now... i reapplied some as5 now im idleing at 40-43c at stock speed... is there anything i can do... im on watercooling. room temp is same since last friday.. i even reseated the water block like 5 times
yes first bios 1a recognizes 144.Then do the update to 1.b on msi sight.Wish they would allow modded bios over internet,as the other bios meathods look scary.eg
do not flash using floppy
do not flash using" "
do not flash using" "
scares me id rather hotflash
Thanks for the info, though what I meant was the NF3 chipset voltage, is it different in various BIOS revisions? It's weird that the board can barely pass 300 with most BIOSes, yet 1.8 lets it go over 350...:confused:Quote:

Its not the voltage. The motherboard voltage is controlled with hardware the bios = software. There is nothing linked to the voltage rail in order to change it with software so its not that.Quote:

nope
maybe if you dont overclock but 4x double sided 512meg sticks ? nope
Manage to get them running at 2-3-2-5 2T 200Mhz, it was best I could get them running at.
Is it decent for corsair xms pc3200 512Mb x 4 on msi k8n neo2 platinum?
seems about right. what CPU do you have?

i can't boot...
and i don't geet beep codes..
someone said i had to update my bios (with a nc/cwh/venice cpu)
are there other people who had the same problem ?:confused:
Try resetting the cmos jumper.I had same prob.No boot til i reset jumper.Thought it was strange.Myboard was a refurb,so i thought it was dead.The bios i started with was 1.a though
hmm.. it should work. iirc all Neo2 bioses support 90nm?, or am i mistaken. My opty works with 1.3, so unless theres 90nm support in 1.3 but not 1.1, then the problem may be elsewhere. Have you tryed different ram? reset cmos?
i tried different ram..Quote:

strange thing : i don't get a beep code...
when i remove the ram, i do hear a beep..
so the beeper works :s
opteron cpu's aren't mentioned in the 'cpu support' list :

Stupid question but,are u using old HD?Try booting with windows in cd.Most common thing ive done is forget a plug somewhere.Oh i hadda switch my cd and hd cables too.Hope u get drivers with yours mine was just board no cables emr i got a few extra.I was luky the cable guy left a usb network thing,and i got onto internet
what do you get on the leds on the d-braket when you have the ram installed?. If its all red, then you need to update your bios to support 90nm cpus, or your opty is DOA.
whats a d-bracket ? :confused: :rolleyes:Quote:

but i didn't have it ?!
i bought it second hand,
and it's new (rma)
If the CPU is dead, nothing happens at all (power on, fans spin, no beeps)
yes !Quote:

so the cpu can't be DOA ?
i tried booting with a "ATA 133 seagate barracuda 7200rpm"Quote:

Dear all,
I appreciate if somebody answers my crazy question:
I have a 3200+ venice processor installed on msi k8n neo2 plat. Whatever I did up to now, I could not boot the system up over 270mhz fsb with 10x multiplier (Vcore increase does not help either). I have tried almost everything such as switching between various bios versions (official and modded ones) and all sets of combinations regarding cell menu settings,HTTx, ram timings etc.
I've even switched my processor with another 3200+ venice, but the results are almost similar. Is there any known bug limiting Neo2 Plat. to run over a certain frequency/speed or is this typical for all nf3 based motherboards? When I lower the cpu multiplier, it lets me to set higher fsb naturally, but anyway I hit a wall around 2700mhz. And this 2700 ghz is to boot up only, the system is totally unstable at that speed that prime95 reports error in first 20 seconds.
I'm not an extreme oc expert but I 've sufficient knowledge concerning how to alter/set critical parameters in Bios. I don't also think it is a Ram issue. I browse through various forums and hear that people reaches crazy values of 300,320,330 and even 350mhz fsb with 3000+, 3200+ processors. (For sure u need good cooling to reach 300+) The thing is my cpu does not exceed 41degreesC(bios reading) even if I push the Vcore around 1,75v by using bios 1.36b.
Configuration:
K8N Neo2 Platinum
amd 3200+ venice ADA3200DAA4BP E3 Stepping lbble0537
psu: ocz powerstream 600adjsli
ram: 2x512 Gskill Extreme F1-4800DSU2-1GBFF (ddr600)
ocz ddrbooster
cooling:Zalman CNPS9500 air cooling
sapphire radeon 9800pro@9800xt bios modded
Platform: winxp pro sp2
Is this a cpu problem or mobo or nature of nf3? Windows oriented issue maybe? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance..
Sounds like cpu limit. Some 3200+ cpus will clock well but most will fall between 2.5ghz and 2.7 ghz. Even my 3700 san diego only clock to 2750mhz on air.
The Neo 2 wont run as high 1:1 as nforce 4 will either. A lot of people with good venice overclocks have tried many cpus as well they buy them and sell them on if it doesnt clock so well and keep going till they get a good clocker.
i thought some chipsets couldn't go higher than 270-280mhz...
read the beginning of this thread to find out more
i tried my mobo with a different cpu...
still the same problem...(fan spings, no boot)
but when i remove the ram, and try to boot WITHOUT ram,
i hear a beep...
> so the bios can't be corrupt ? right ?
Breech, It could be bad memory or one of those cases where the default bios settings don't work with a particular type of memory. So you have to find some other memory type, change the defaults from "auto" to specific settings that ought to work, and then re-try with the memory you want to use.
Pepelepe, it sounds like you've found the max speed of your cpu. Congratulations. Now you can tweak everything else for max performance.
