Wow that's really good overclocking that memory you have, 231mhz (462mhz) try lower your memory mhz too 183mhz in the bios, you should be able too get higher on cpu mhz then,

well.. it did 245Mhz before when using slot 1 and 2... and rams with the same chips have been doing way past 250mhz mark.. roughly 270-280mhz at 1:1
Nice memory, no heat spreaders, I have a hard time getting my corsair pc4000 pass 211mhz 1t or 2t my old 3000 chip would go 2.4ghz at 266 * 9 set to 4 ht memory was at 150mhz which made it 211mhz if I remember right.
coop
also the only way I can use all the slot is too set it too 2t maybe you need too do the same too run just slot 3 and 4.

ok. managed to get a HTT of 260 with 1.60 volts on hte cpu.
i can run games, but can't seem to pass any cpu tests.
i notice the heat is starting to go up . . .
idle 45, load goes up past 65 !
sys temp. 30 ( i know, got to turn down the heating in the house ! )
think it's a cobo of volt. fluctuations, and the end of standard cooling.
was thinking of getting te Zalman CNPS9500, is this the best cooler ? or is there a better one ?
think i'm gonna do some serious case mods to get the hot air out, and re route cables etc etc.
advice anyone .?
Is there no way to enable Power On via Keyboard?
The option "S3 Wake Up By PS2/Keyboard" does work for S3 standby mode but not for S5 power off.
Some other nForce3 250 motherboards with Award BIOS's have an additional option to set that to "S3/S4/S5" or an option to just wake by keyboard and not restrict it to S3 mode.
I've been looking at the hidden bios options and some of sideeffect's standard bios mods, but doesn't look like it's there.
Anybody ever get this to work?
ok .. cooptroop4, the 2T settings nets me 20mhz more htt but spi 1m time about the same though... guess i 'm satisfied with 231 hehe..
its done at 3-3-2-7
vcore 1.45v+3.3%
vdimm 2.5v
can anybody post a d/l-link für the 1.d-bios from sideeffect?!
the link in his sig redirects me to a forum... which is empty :D
sideeffects forum IS empty !
i only know of 2 other sites that hold sideeffects bois, but they haven't got version 1.d on them ! i think the only differeance for 1.d is they added fx60 support !
the site is

What is best BIOS for K8N NEO2 Platinum for max MHZ?
I run with O144 on 310FSB, but CPU has max FSB about 315, becoase I need stable BIOS for max MHz (FSB)
I just picked up a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum, read so much about it's quirks. Now to my own, I know the temp sensors have been suspect bios update supposed to fix. My MS-7025VER:1(I take it, it is revision1, what were the differences between rev-rev2?) arrived with bios 1.3, flashed it to official 1.9, it idles at around 29/30 but as soon as you put it under load it jumps from 30c to 40c(stock cpu speeds 2.0ghz) overlocked 2.6 1.45-8.3% 31/32c to 53c and keeps rising, this is on prime, as soon as you stop it will drop from around 57c to 35c. I take it this is a dodgy sensor, I have cool n quiet off in the bios?
Another question, I can see no volt adjustment for the chipset in the bios, is there any?
On some early/short results, managed prime stable10x260 2.6/3x/1.45-8.3%/166 slots 1+2
Anything above that fails, I have booted to 2.7/2.8/2.85/2.9
Thanks
Hello, my first post :)
I also have a jumpy cpu temperature problem. I own a amd64 venice 3000+ cpu.
The cpu idles at around 32-33C in my watercooled system, with cool n quiet enabled. The water temp is 29 degrees.
As soon as I load the cpu the temp jumps to 50 degrees (actually there is something wrong here too, after I sleep the pc to ram-S3 mode-, the cpu temp decreases 5C) and stays there. During this time the water temp is 30-31 degrees.
Is there a fault with the boards temp sensor, or is my cpu's thermal resistance between the IHS and actual core is so high, that I am reading 20C difference with the water temp.
Thanks
Keep c&q off. How much vcore are you pushing and what hardware are you working with Max T ?
Youll have to test the actual vcore I have to give mine 1.4 + 8.3% to get 1.5v and 1.4 + 10.% to get 1.6. Yes the sensors are not that accurate. Mine sometimes go to hell when I run prime. Sometimes when I try other combinations to get up to 1.5 1.6ish I get misreadings and unstability but with above settings I pull 24 hr dual prime stable.
Potex you will be fine with X2 4400 and mushkin. My board loves my mushkin but mines not UCCC. I had gskill and it likes my muskin better, also likes 11 multi best. Use slot 1&2 the 2 closest to the cpu.:toast:
the temp difference between the water and the cpu must be 2-3 degrees tops.
But I see differences over 20 degrees. I am guessing either the ihs-core resistivity is really high, or faulty temp reading.
My vcore is default at 1.40 volts and cool n quiet is enabled. I've tried disabling cool n quiet and now the cpu idles at 42 degrees with water temp at 28 and cpu load temp is still 50C.
I still have no idea why the cpu temperature drop 5C after a succesfull wakeup from S3(suspend to ram) state.
Do you have the amd driver loaded? Well you know that it should just be a 2deg. difference between the water so I dont think you are actually loading that high. One time I got a read of 110 degrees on my cpu :eek: I knew it was bs this was under dual prime 24hrs the poor little sensor couldnt take it. I use everest ultimate/speedfan/and sandra to moniter temps with this board. I dont trust any of the readings. My bios says idle of 35 deg. soft IDLE 30-31 under load 51-55. So i just figure its somewhere in between.
I think someone on here was going to change the caps Im still waiting for the outcome. I load the amd driver and all nvidia drivers except IDE. CNQ disabled. Nothing on auto in bios. I dont like my moniter turning off/AMP to ALWAYS ON I think Im using S1(POS). Maybe the hybernation is causing the dips in temp readings?
yeah during idle the temp between the core and water should be around 2-3 degrees. I verified this on my last intel cpu also still verifying on my gpu temps.
During load depending on the thermal resistance and wattage used by the die the difference will increase.
For example my gpu gives a 6C difference during load and nearly 0C during idle.
But the cpu is a whole different story :)
At the moment I am just ignoring the cpu temp reading and using the water temp as a baseline.
Changing cool n quite on/off didnt make any difference.
I had some kit around spare, just needed board/cpu to make up another folderQuote:

My board is working away nicely, flashed to sideefects 1.C(thanks to sideeffect)bios. I had everything turned off in bios 1.9, 1.c does alot of that by default, these boards are great fun
Folded 2 tinkers, 2.5/2.550 1.42v according speedfan, currently running 2.6-1.42v, just over halfway into wu, will keep pushing.
I re-seated the hsf and some AS5,the temp jump is still there. Speedfan currently showing 44c, under load, I would hazard a guess that it is about 10c over
can i replace the little cooler that cool the board only with a radiator...
I have a Thermatake PSU,Ati silencer 5 2, Arctic cooling Ultra64 tcl..The tiny mb cooler is the noisest thing in my PC..I need to get rid of it somehow..what you guys recommend? thank you
Heres the "standard" 1.D by sideeffect:

@Losphoron: Any small passive heatsink should be fine as Nforce3 doesn't make alot of heat. The Zalman NB47-J heatsinks tend to work well :)

oh well, still can get ram stable at 255, so i left msi for epox
good luck guys o/
Hi!I'm wondering if my cpu temps are accurate with Sideeffect bios 1.b?Because in idle i have 26C and when playing i think it goes 35C.Are these temps real?Because they seem very low especially in idle.
Why are temp differences between oficial bios and Sideeffect?
I have a Lexa case with temp sensors.The one from cpu shows 31C in idle.Which temp is more real?The one from bios or the one from the case's sensor?
the system is:MSI Neo 2 Platinum,A64 3200+ with Freezer 64,vcore 1.4,2*512 Kingmax,Asus 6800,Chieftec 450W
Having zero luck for stability at anything over 2.5 10x250, tried lowering multi 9x, pumping more volts, the cpu is prime stable, and folding stable 1.4v 3.3%-1.42 according to speed fan, even at 1.6 2.550/2.6 it fails, the cpu has booted to 2.9 on this board, I have no idea what it actually can do, but I would guess it can do more than 2.5 stable. Tried the private/general settings but rhis only produces a hold after windows screen.
Were there problems with rev 1 boards and stability over 250
ok. don't shoot me for this, but what are your mem settings ..? have you tried with a 1:2 div. ( to take the mem out of the equation ? )
are you using mem. slots 1 and 2 ? ( 3 and 4 can be trouble some )
any one else have ideas ..??
Max what is your memory set for mhz, try backing that down, I had problems also the same as you, bought better memory and I can do 11 * 250 all day long.
coop
my 3200 venice needs 1.45 + 5 % to prime stable I also had it at 10 x 250 and I dropped back down to 245 cause I suspected it was causeing a problem esp. since my ht was reported over 1000 for some wierd reason so I for sure under 1000 now .Quote:

the only other valid set up for this board is then with the 9 divider and the 183 divider , but I would only attemt something like 9 x 270 or whatever with an opteron that can for sure do that and ofcourse you would need the sideeffect bios for the 183 divider . Tractor if your sticking with your cpu then I would stick a fork in it and call it done
