Is the bios on the Platninum SLI the same as the Diamond SLI?
No it's not. Are people ignoring my comment of this voltage not being possible with the voltage regulator currently used?
Right got a bios for the platinum sli.
Can I still use winflash?
no floppy here.
Can anybody tell me what's the difference between the K8N SLI Platinum and the K8N Diamond except for the fact that the Diamond has Silicon Image's SATARAID and the SLI Platinum doesn't...
Because the Diamond is around 40 euros more expensive then the de SLI Platinum over here. And if that is the only difference it's not worth it imo...
Diamond has WiFi, Bluetooth and two Gigabit controllers. It also looks (but I can't confirm) that the Platinum only has a heatsink on the voltage regulator for the CPU, the Diamond is a heat-piped with a fan.
Hmm over here in europe the Diamond isn't shipped with Bluetooth and tho Giabit controllers. Those are both listed as optional.
My neo4 sample can not 20%
but general neo4(w7125) is ok
so if i get a neo 4 now i can use up to .1.85v? what mem voltage does the neo have, i've forgotten, i think i can get a gigabyte sli shipped out tomorrow, tempted by that. my asus sli just has so little vcore to play with i'm limited to 2.65ghz. i'm gettina dfi when it comes out but have two pci-e systems so which ever board i get now will go into my home system.
what voltages do the giga boards have, the x4 cheapo version only has +0.2 vdimm but the production ultra/sli boards were supposed to have 3 or 3.1v? what vcore?
actually, from looking at msi's website i have no clue whats going on, the shops seem to list a neo4 normal, neo 4 sli platinum with the proper sli bridge, and the neo 4 diamond, but on the msi website i see only a neo4 platinum and aneo 4 platinum SLI, no diamond. But shops say they are on their way. will this bios work on the msi neo plat sli? not sure if you have the sli or none sli.
Just checked another version of the msi website, usa and uk versions say 2 boards, global has all three listed. freaking useless.
K8N Neo4 Platinum=>w7125
K8N SLI Platinum&K8N Diamond=>w7100
w7125.121 bios only foy K8N Neo4 Platinum :)
I have a Sample Neo4 board here, it doesn't have a x4 slot like the Neo4 mobos you see on the MSI website.Quote:

Retail version of K8N Neo4 can acquire +23% voltage option with V1.21 BIOS, but sample version is not included. PCI-E x4 slot is not available on early sample stage of K8N Neo4.Quote:

the neo2 was the same, but bios mods showed up to +18%, but they never stuck above 10%.Quote:

Useing the 1.36b bios on Neo2 the 18% worked great.Quote:

i ordered this board at midnight and had it overnighted, so i hope to have it tomorrow when i get home from school. so i will just put it on air cooling for the first bootup and install of windows, and will tell you how accurate the +20% is. if this is true, then all you need is TCCD and its on a par with the DFI, but with bh-5, or winbond UTT, the DFI board can't really be beat.
But i got tccd, so it doesn't really matter.
please post as soon as you test the bios. thanks.
i sure will, its packaged and sealed at newegg, so i will definitely get it tomorrow. i hope somebody is home when it gets dropped off. or maybe they will leave it at my doorstep, i really don't want to drive to that fedex pickup place. its only 20mins away, but i'd rather have the excitement of getting the box and ripping it open as soon as possible.
What is the deal about using this beta bios and modding the PWM cpu ic? How the heck do you do that and why is that necessary?
where do i get the flash utility for the neo4? can i use the neo2 one? the neo4 isn't yet on msi's bios list...
well using the 1.21 bios i am only able to get 1.66V when i look at hw monitor.
when i raise vid to 1.45 it drops according to +18%, but thats is not actual, it is only 1.66V for me.
^^ mines will be coming tomm from newegg. from what im looking at in my tracking number, its status says not scheduled for delivery. i most likely will get it tomm considering i live like 1 hour from newegg shipment place.
still i have no cpu and vid card to test it out yet.. oh well lol. do u guys think my corsair xl tccd rams will work good with this at all ?
Oh well, look like I'll be modding this board if it doesn't natively support at least 1.85v.
How is the board skip, besides the vcore issue? Stable, good...what? Give us some details here :D
