    Exclamation S939 mobos - known bugs, tweaks and fixes

    EDIT(saaya):

    i renamed this thread and made it a sticky to inform people about known bugs on different 939 boards and tweaks and fixes, as there was a big duiscussion about all 939 boards beeing buggy, but there was little known about the actual problems different boards seem to have.
    im very happy with the massive feedback this thread has received and it has now become an ultimate 939 mobo guide with infos about bugs, how to fix them, and many tweaks how to reach a higher oc, just like the title says Kroger ad can be a good guide for anyone with the concern of saving more.

    review #1: Anandtech
    review #2: Hothardware
    review #3: Hardwareluxx (german)
    vmod #1: vcore
    vmod #2: vdimm
    vmod #3: vht
    vmod #4: vdd


    pros
    very stable vcore up to 1.90v read the tips to see how to get 1.9v
    vdimm overvolts to 2.90v on highest setting
    VTT tracks automatically, OCZ DDR-Booster works up to 4,0V (put it in ram slot 4)
    runs great with ballistix
    runs great with tccd memory
    runs great with bh5 (needs bios 1.36b or newer)
    2x Memory Interleaving?

    cons
    cpu socket position problematic for some cases
    vdimm mod requieres trace cutting
    SATA ports 1 and 2 are not locked, use slots 3 and 4 (closest to the cpu)
    issues with ram slots 3&4 not working very well seems to work fine for some people
    cpu temperature reading not working correctly seems to work fine for some people
    doesnt like ocz eb
    chipset hsf is pretty noisy

    TIPS
    TIP: you have to disable cool n quiet when ocing
    TIP: Cpu fan header must be connected, if not the pc could experience boot problems
    TIP: if you have problems booting with BH5 try another stick of memory and set vdimm to the max and make sure you set the cas latency to 2.5 or 2.0 as bh5 wont boot with cas 3.0, then swap in the BH5
    TIP: the CPU backplate is hard to get off on the MSI ... just heat it with a hair dryer, it will come off easily then
    TIP: for best performance the MSI only needs Vdimm/3.3V bypass mod (or the OCZ booster).
    Yet to try a chipset mod or HTT mod on the MSI ... it may help with LDT 4x @ > 260 HTT bus speeds

    TIP: shut down core center after you used it to adjust or check your settings, if left running it might crash your system
    TIP: if you have problems booting at low temps with a winchester try the latest beta bios
    TIP: disable fast writes
    TIP: only bios 1.36beta and 1.37beta allow up to 1.9v vcore
    TIP: color coded ram slots are different than other 939 boards. Slots 1&2 are the ones nearer to the CPU and are dual channel
    TIP: use HTT multiplier 4x up to ~260 and 3x up to ~290
    TIP: use the + and - or PgUP and PgDn keys to change the htt speed, DO NOT HIT ENTER
    TIP: check out the official msi 939 neo2 tips and tricks guide thread
    TIP: check out this 2 ram compability lists: 1 2
    TIP: In the bios press and hold Shift+F2 and then press ALT+F3 to unlock "hidden" features within the BIOS
    TIP: If anyone has trouble getting low temp readings downlaod the latest MBM5 (use the K8N NEO Plat mobo selection, click settings,temps,CPU,and choose the first option for Winbond Diode 2)
    TIP: if you experience problems with Antec Neopower and Truepower PSUs and also with PowerStream PSUs, try Bios 1.37 and turn the PSU off after you shut down, seems to help as well
    TIP: Dissable Agressive Timings in Cell Menu if you're going to overclock
    TIP: some people had close to no thermal compount on the nb, if your nb runs hot add some thermal compound (WARNING! might hurt your warranty)
    here is a guide that explains how to remove the nb heatsink

    TIP: The MAch II needs a new firmware to operate with this board get it here
    TIP: the vcore of winchesters seems to undervolt about 0.1V, max vcore for winchesters is 1.7V
    TIP: bios collection: 1.10, 1.20, 1.23, 1.25, 1.30, 1.33, 1.34, 1.35, 1.36, 1.37, 1.41
    TIP: beta biosses
    TIP: 1.37 modded bios by Trats 1 2
    TIP: lots of biosses, incl. beta and modded ones with changelogs
    TIP: bios flash guide
    TIP: windows tool bios flash guide
    TIP: newer boards, with S/N:K0411xxxxxx and S/N:K0410xxxxxx, seem to no longer have a bug with winchesters at low minus temps
    TIP: get Codered's A64 tweaker
    TIP: if you have BH-5 memory use the A64 tweaker and lower the timings as described here
    TIP: OC Guide for the msi k8n neo2 by XS GraveDiggA
    right click save as and open with wordpad

    TIP: corsair xl pro memory wont fit in the board with an xp-120 heatsink
    TIP: the newer northbridges (0410/0411) seem to need less vdimm to reach the same overclock in 1:1!
    TIP: If you are having trouble getting windows to boot from SATA ("Error Loading Operating System"), be sure to set SATA1/2/3/4 RAID to "ENABLED", even if you are not running RAID
    TIP: older bios revisions need the agp speed set to 67mhz to lock it
    TIP: disable aggressive chipset timings (performance mode) when ocing
    TIP: if you boot with trcd 2 vdimm seems to drop 0.1v, boot with trcd 3 and use corecell or codered's a64 tweaker to set it to 2 in windows
    TIP: bios 1.36b and 1.37 and modded variants seem to work best for bh5/bh6
    TIP: to reach 1.9v vcore set 1.5 in bios + 3.3%, then get in windows use core center all the way up, and finally you use NF3 Clock-gen add 0.05v...it's about like 1.9v
    TIP: turn off NV/ATI Speed Up in the hidden bios settings as it ocs most cards gpu
    TIP: use clockgen instead of corecell to adjust the fsb, htt and even vcore options, its not as instable as corecell wich crashes the system from time to time
    TIP: an xp90 DOES fit on the board even if corsair pro xl memory is used, but the heatsink covers the display on top of the modules








    Gigabyte K8NSNXP-939 and K8NS Ultra-939 nforce3
    the only difference between the K8NSNXP-939 and K8NS Ultra-939 is the missing dps heatsink on the latter.
    both boards are identical and bios compatible and will thus be treated as the same board in this guide

    vmod #1: vcore
    vmod #2: vdimm
    vmod #3: vht
    vmod #4: vdd

    pros
    tracks vtt
    runs great with bh5
    runs great with ch5
    runs great with mdt pc3200 (micron chips?)
    runs great with samsung tccc

    cons
    bad vcore, unstable and fluctuates between 1.70v and 1.95v under load
    coldboot problems with high HTT speed
    crashes when upping the HTT speed too much at a time
    always detects ide drives at bootup, cant disable this setting latest bios fixes this problem
    9x multi sligthly unstable seems to work fine for some people
    8x multi very unstable seems to work fine for some people
    NO Memory Interleaving?

    TIPS
    TIP: you have to disable cool n quiet when ocing
    TIP: easy vdimm mod with 3.3v rail = Vdimm Via single wire, VTT tracks automatically
    TIP: easy vcore mod with pin10 to ground via 50K VR
    BUT the max vcore after a mod is 1.95v and coldboot with 1.85v+ vcore might kill the board!

    TIP: If having problems with BH5 ram, try the following:
    1) Do 3.3v = Vdimm mod
    2) Set HTT multiplier to 4x and HTT to 230Mhz - Lower HTT does not boot for some users.
    3) Boot and overclock via clockgen, and tweak via A64tweaker.

    TIP: for best performance the giga board needs Vcore and Vdimm/3.3V bypass mod (or the OCZ booster)
    TIP: disable fast writes
    TIP: use HTT multiplier 4x up to ~260 and 3x up to ~290
    TIP: disable the bios option called "top performence" , it will limit your ocs and will cause instability with tccd at ddr400 2.0-2-2
    TIP: if you have problems with some multipliers try the F5 bios
    TIP: try bios F7, it helped a bunch of people to get a higher stable HTT/FSB speed

    vmod #1: vcore
    vmod #2: vdimm
    vmod #3: vht missing
    vmod #4: vdd


    pros
    locks are working on all rev2.xx boards
    stable and high vcore up to 1.85v
    good pcb layout
    runs great with bh5
    runs great with ocz eb
    runs great with tccd
    2x Memory Interleaving?

    tracks vtt, ocz booster works up to ~3v

    cons
    locks not working on most rev1.xx boards!
    generally starts topping out in the 250's htt (bios 1005.021 beta for rev 1.02)
    OVP on VDimm at ~3.15v with a vdimm mod and ~3v with an ocz ddr booster

    cpu temperature reading not working correctly


    TIPS
    TIP: you have to disable cool n quiet when ocing
    TIP: disable fast writes
    TIP: if you have problems to boot or get your system stable at very low cpu temps try the beta bios 1009.002 or a newer bios version
    TIP: bios 1008 might cause prime95 instability, get the latest bios
    TIP: you need bios 1007.xx or later to get a winchester 90nm cpu working on this board
    TIP: if you have a winchester and your current bios doesnt support it use 1 stick of ram (in slot B1)
    then boot from a floppy and flash to 1007 or newer:
    1. power down your system
    2. Reset cmos
    3. boot from a bootable floppy
    4. use another floppy with the new bios and the AFUdos.exe program on it
    5. type at the A prompt: afudos.exe /ia8v1007.ami

    TIP: 1007 seems to give some people problems with the agp/pci locks, use 1008.002 or later
    TIP: thermaltake xp120 and corsair xl pro wont fit on this board
    TIP: use the promise ide controller when ocing, the via controller is rumored to get unstable when ocing (not locked?)
    if you are using the via controller already and want to switch to the promise controller follow this short guide:
    1. Copy the PROMISE SATA drivers to a floppy.
    2. Turn off your computer and switch your HDD to the PROMISE controller
    3. Turn on goto the BIOS ; Advanced > OnBoard Devices Configuration > Onboard Promise Controller [Enabled] > Operating Mode [IDE]
    4. In the BIOSchange Boot priority to CD and exit BIOS
    5. Pop in your XP CD and press F6 (look carefully for the message at the bottom of the screen)
    6. Pop in your Floppy and let XP copy the PROMISE Drivers.
    7. Exit install when asked for.
    If the above method doesn't work, follow the same steps only let XP repair the existing installation. You should not lose any data.

    TIP: you need a fan connected to the cpu fan slot
    TIP: if your having stability problems unplug low speed fans, low rpms are rumored to make the board unstable
    TIP: if your board has no working locks try to enable them with a hacked bios, works for some boards
    TIP: if you have problems booting with one stick try it in slot3 (counting away from the cpu socket)
    TIP: bios 1009 beta seems to have coldboot and stability issues above 240fsb (no lock?)
    TIP:with BIOS 1009.xxxx BETA if you select 5x HTT (1000) you actually get only 4x once you pass 210 MHz

    vmod #3: vht missing
    vmod #4: vdd missing


    pros
    AGP-lock working on all rev1.1 boards
    port80 diagnostic display
    vdimm overvolts to 2.85v on highest setting
    tracks vtt, booster works

    cons
    CPU-temp readings way off
    *UPDATE* use latest bios 19.. i think temps reading are still wrong.. bios shows about 5C higher than uguru. Just add about 5C to readings

    mixed results with bh-5 and tccd
    mixed results with vcore stability
    Motherboard Manual don't contain all post codes.

    vtt fluctuates and is very unstable above 2.7v vdimm
    weak pcb wich means traces on the boards tend to get damaged very easily if the board gets bent just slightly!
    read more about it here

    possible incompability of this board and antec psu's?
    clockgen can only change multis on this board, not the bus speed?
    many rev1.0 boards dont have working locks!

    TIPS
    TIP: you have to disable cool n quiet when ocing
    TIP: use slots 1&2 for BH-5, 3&4 for TCCD
    TIP: if you have problems with winchester cores on this board flash to bios 1.5 or newer, 1.6 is recommended by abit
    TIP: disable fast writes
    TIP: with the XP-120 you will NOT be able to put anything in DIMM slot #1
    TIP: use the ocz ddr booster in slot #2
    TIP: VTT seems to need a reboot to "re-track" after a change
    TIP: this board has a very flexible pcb and a very cheap plastic plate around the cpu socket, be VERY carefull with big heatsinks and dont fasten your heatsinks too tight!
    TIP: if you cant get any higher make sure all parts of the board are cooled well enough, then start increasingvnb, vsb and vldt(vht)
    TIP: if you can get any higher after that try to set vlink to 4 and the ht multiplier to 4x or 3x (800mhz/600mhz)
    TIP: if you have a rev1.0 pro board (the revision number is printed on a sticker close to the cpu socket)
    try bios 15 and lock the bus, if it doesnt work abit will rma the board

    TIP: OCZ DDR Booster working on the board up to 3.2vdimm. Vdimm needs to be set to 2.8 (max on bios) to obtain 3.2vdimm with 1.66vtt LINK LINK
    TIP: Users of bios 19 with rocketboy support get higher overclock results LINK for bios 19
    TIP: MBM5 works with uGuru chip now (MBM5370)
    TIP: The use of PCI slot 2 (2nd from AGP) might intefere with SATA ports
    TIP: corsair 4000PT (hynix?) works better in slots 1&2 than 3&4

    WARNING! do NOT use the ocz DDR booster on this board! vdimm above 2.8v will fry a mosfet and kill the board!
    coldboot issues, random crashes and freezes from usb hardware (mouse keyboard printer etc)
    cant run command rate 1t in slots 1&2 latest bios seems to fix this
    vdimm is stuck at 2.7v and wont rise seems to work fine for some people
    cpu temperature not reading correctly seems to work fine for some people
    vcore ovp at 1.9v
    only memory without a heatspreader will fit in slot1 with an xp120
    Zalman CNPS7000A backplate doesnt fit on this board without any mods due to some resistors (capacitors?) on the back of the motherboard
    SATA ports 1 and 2 cant be used with and any Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer, the airduct covers them entirely

    TIPS
    TIP: you have to disable cool n quiet when ocing
    TIP: disable fast writes
    TIP: use HTT multiplier 4x up to ~260 and 3x up to ~290
    TIP: SATA ports 3&4 are not locked, use slots 1&2 (closest to the agp slot)
    TIP: if you cant get command rate 1t to run try memory slots 3&4
    TIP:It seems that dimm slots 1 and 2 dont not like 2x512MB (dual channel)
