So guy´s...how is this board behaving with BH5 sticks?
So huge thread that I can´t remember it all :)
I´v got a dying NF7-S here and want to be able to use my sticks in the next system.
2x512 Mb Corsair XMS 3500C2.
Please post experiences with this board and BH5 sticks.
Thanks!

Seems to range from your problem, to ones that are similar :(
Others are finding it boots without turning it on :rolleyes:
I hate to have to tell people this but don't expect them to do more than 200/400ddr. This is from my personal expirence with double sided BH-5 on mine but many other people have had the same problem with them.Quote:

"EDIT*** MAY HAVE ACTUALLY HAD SUCCESS WITH THE 1.37 BIOS UPGRADE! After the upgrade, I loaded the Optimized Default and did 2 reboots as suggested on the MSI Forum. I've now unplugged it, put it another PCI modem and restarted normally. Have all the ups and downs I'll have to give it a day or 2 before I say for sure that this BIOS upgrade fully fixed the "false starts" (no post). So far so good "
Anyone know how to mod the 1.37 bios to reneable all hidden options and the +13,15 and 18% vcore options like in the 1.36 one? That would be the best of both worlds.
Thanks m8, I'll check it :toast:
so what is the best board right now for the 939 platform? im fixxin to buy a fx-53 and im clueless as to what im going to get? i wish the DFI 939 board would get here i hate to buy something only to replace it when DFI finaly releases thier counter part to the 754 mb the got out now. also do any of these 939 mb's give you any high v-dimm options like the DFI 250UT board?
thx perc,

It's a little better after Bios 1.37 but just a little."
(I turn my power supply off to the computer at every shutdown, and I personally haven't had this issue yet) wonder why some are and some are not.
I'm getting an fx-53 soon. Could anyone buy the board for me?
(Zipzoomfly wants 75$ just to ship the motherboard to Canada, ridiculous!)
pm me ... thanks for helping out
The one that this thread is about unil NF4 boards start coming out. I don't think DFI will be out till Dec. Highest bios vdim option of any of the 939 boards is about 2.85 which is max for tccd anyway.Quote:

So... if you want to get this board, think twice.
You've gotta be kidding ... it does not require a lot of effort or time to push on a little button.Quote:

Is not that easy, this problem eventually shuts the VidCard down... while you system is ON.
I've got the 754 board but have similar power issues
1) Machine boots up just flicking the power switch on the wall without the proper switch from the motherboard
2) False start 1 as mentioned in the thread... machine spins up the fans for 1 or 2 seconds and then dies
3) False start 2 as mentioned in the thread .. machine spins up fans but no screen image.
I had an MSI board as a replacement, my first one worked fine. The replacement did the above. I sent it back and got another, the replacement did the same. I left it in disgust and a few days later gave it one last time and it worked fine. It now works fine all the time as well, but i have had some troubles before this last good spell.
Having read the thread I notice a lot of GF 6800 cards being used. Interestingly, looking back at it, when my replacement board arrived I was using the 6800, but when I gave up with it I put the 6800 in my P4 and used it there. When it booted up after a few days it probably had my Fx 5800 in there. Now i have tested it since with the 6800 but I have had some troubles, at present the FX 5800 is in there and it seems OK
To be honest I cannot quite definitely match up when the 6800 was in there and when it was not and when it had these strange boot problems.
The only thing I can do is try 10 boots tonight with FX 5800 and then 10 with the 6800 and see if stability goes.
Can someone else with the problem and different video cards do likewise ? This will show if this theory is a false start ( cough, pardon the pun :) )

hi @ all!
i have got the k8n neo2 platinum last friday. and i did a lot of overclocking. but i have some problems:
system:
AMD FX 53
K8N Neo2 Platinum Bios: 1.36 beta
2x512 MB OCZ 4200 EL (G.SKILL is on the way)
ATI X800XT
OCZ Powerstream 520
Asetek LightSpeed 240W
i had read this thread again and again. so i did my bios-tweaks.
ht 3x
spreadspektrum disabled
dynamic overclocking disabled
agressiv timings disabled
sata 1+2 disabled
ect.
so i started. comming to 255x11 everythings works fine. 2 hours prime were not a problem. comming to 260x11 prime goes only 10 to 15 minutes. ok, no problem... lets start superpi, no problem. ok, test: 265x11 superpi: not exant in round. at this time my vcore was 1,7v. ok, lets give him more power. 1,75v and nothing works fine. ok, more power! 1,8v nope... 1,85v nope :(
ok, i thought. vdimm!!!! i still was at 2,70v. vcore down to 1,7v vdimm up to 2,75 nothing went. vcore up, nothing.
then i tested a lot of things. big multi, low htt. high htt, low multi and so on. my result is, that my system wont go over the 2,9ghz. it doesnt matter, which vcore i take or which vdimm. i testet every constelation.
on my abit av8 i was able to run 245x12 24/7. for benchmarking i got 247x12 all @ 1,85v vcore and 2,65v vdimm.
can someone help me?
LoKi2k
p.s.: sorry about my bad english. the last time i used it is 4 years ago at school :(
I'm using 2 x 256MB DS XMS3500 DC that has been tested at 250 @ 3.4v/1.7Vtt on my IC7-G....Quote:

It's a tight fit with the DDR Booster on Dimm4 & mt ram due to the HS on my ram.
Gonna try my 2 x 512MB XMS3500 that's done 240Mhz DC on the IC7-G & will post my findings when I'm done doing the usual Memtest86/Prime95.
Only problem is that one of my front USB ports ain't working...
So far, using the specs in my 2nd rig, idle temps at 2.53GHz (11 x 230 @ 1.7v [1.55vid + 8.3% boost]) is 35c idle & 53c under Prime95. Tested for 21 hours as well as 5 hours of Memtest86+....
I'll be back with more findings with my 2 x 512MB XMS3500...
Maybe I gotta change the multi to 10.5 & try 250Mhz 1:1 action...
Cheers,
Minnyboy
Thanks for the information!Quote:

Caper,
So far, just Memtest86+ & the new OCZ MemTest, I've been able to run my 2 x 512MB sticks at 2-2-2-6-1T @ 11 x 230 (2.53Ghz). I ran that test for 1 & 1/2 hours w/out any problems.
Trying 10.5 x 242 (2.54GHz) 1:1 @ 3.3v (DDR Booster) w/out any problems so far. Gonna let the test run overnight & then do a Prime95 run while I'm at work tomorrow.
Got the CoolerMaster Hyper6 with 2 fans (1 blowing, 1 sucking) as I need 1.7v for my CPU to be stable....
One thing that's got me going is that CPU-Z reports my 3500 as a 130nm whereas Memtest (both the original & OCZ;s one) reports it as a 90nm part????
Any ideas?? My thinking is that it's a minor bug with Memtest although I'm hoping it's a CPU-Z bug & I've got a 90nm CPU...
Will update during the next few days to see how high my BH5 will go with these AMD64 S939's...
Looking Good so far... Gotta test 10 x 250 1:1 to see how my 512Mb sticks go... Took 3.4v on an Intel system to do 240MHz... Taken 3.3v to do 242MHz on AMD64 POWER!!!
Keep you updated... :toast:
Sounds like the extra power load the 6800's are pulling may be a strain on the PS. I have a 6800U and a PCPC510 with no issues. maybe lower rated or even non tweaked rail PS's could be a factor.Quote:
