    Help to Bios mod msi K8N Neo2

    The 1.36 beta bios allows up to +18% vcore. The latest 1.37 beta (which helps with some false start power problems) knocks it back down to +10%. If anyone knows how to mod a MSi K8N Neo2 bios to reenable all options like 1.36 had, please PM me.

    Speaking of mods

    Okay the DFI UT has all the tweaker stuff in there.

    If we could figure out a way to shoehorn ANY of it into the msi k8n neo2, this would be a EVEN MORE OF A KILLER board for DC. Any thoughts?

    Where did you get the 1.37 beta bios?

    adding new features into bios menu.... seem impossible

    but if we can build memtest 86 into the bios

    and install

    OCZmemtest86
    they got the stuff to change the timing... that will do the job

    here is the beta 137 modded with extra voltages & every existing option turned on:

    http://www.svcheats.com/MSI_Neo_Plat...NMS_137mod.zip

    update:
    I tried the 137mod beta and the 13/15/18% vcore settings will not stick (like in 136) after saving and re-entering bios they go back to 1.55v default. (check in hadware monitor). The highest one that will stick in 137 mod beta is +10%. That seems to give me 1.76-1.79vcore, so maybe it's enough.

    some people are reporting that the 141 fixes the sub-zero temp issues
    ** MSI Neo2 Platinum NF3 Ultra @ 1.41b
    ** Athlon64 3200+ 90nm @ 245 x 10 [1.44v]
    ** 512 OCZ Performance rev2 [204/6-2-2-2]

    Unhappy Strange vcore voltage stuff (bug?)

    1.3b6 and 1.4b1:

    After 1.45 VID, only way to get more vcore is by upping the % (at least according to the bios).

    So that is about 1.75 for me in 1.3b6 and 1.64 in 1.4b1

    Has anyone else seen this?

    Byron, run the live update utility and update it to the latest version. Now go through the normal procedure, download their crappy bios and when it comes to the crunch where it tells you it is ready to flash your bios, stop everything. Put your downloaded beta bios in a folder somewhere else and rename the file to W7025NMS.130.

    Go to C:\Program Files\Setup Files\MS-7025 v1.30 where the MSI update utility has downloaded your supposedly new bios and delete it. Now copy and paste your beta bios into that folder. Switch back to the screen that says it's ready to flash your bios and go ahead. Reboot and you're done, new bios updated.
