The OFFICIAL MSI K8N Neo2-939 tips and tricks guide thread

[Minnyboy]

I don't have a booster so is there anyway i can get more than 3.3v to the ram with a mod? Also, where is everyone getting the 1.3b6 bios i can't find it anywhere atm. Let me know if i should be doing something else cause i'm at a loss right now Thanks in advance.

Need DDR Booster or Vdimm mod mate... There should a a thread for the Vdimm mod somewhere here. I use the DDR Booster, saves a lot of trouble.

Here's the link for ppl who don't wanna search the first page of this thread.

K8N Neo2 1.36b Bios.

Gotta get rid of my 130nm 3500+ & get meself a 3200+ 90nm... CPU isn't stable past 11x230. Lowering multi to 10.5x242 ain't stable either even though is ends up being the speed... Lowering HTT don't help either...

Best I could get my 2x512MB XMS3500 was 242MHz@2-2-2-6-7-16-1T... That's running OCZ memtest86 for over 11 hours...I'm not even going to bother with 2T...

Cheers,

edit: CPU VID is Vcore under a different name...

As for HTT: I ripped this straight from sierra_bound...

Since many people are switching to A64 for the first time, I thought I'd provide a little primer. I posted some of this information in the Asus A8V thread, and thought I'd give a little broader explanation here.

Technically speaking, there is no FSB on A64 systems. FSB is a bus that allows the CPU to communicate with system memory. A64 systems use a different type of connection called HyperTransport. It's a point-to-point link. The term HTT is used to described the connection speed. This is roughly equivalent to FSB but not the same thing.

The general formula for determining optimal HyperTransport speed is HTT (FSB) X HT multiplier. The multipliers are sometimes listed in the BIOS as frequencies that are multiples of 200MHz. 1000MHz = 5x, 800MHz = 4X, etc.

The HyperTransport speed should not exceed the motherboard's specs. The Asus A8V, for example, has a maximum HyperTransport speed of 1000MHz. So using the formula, if you have HTT at 250, the HT multiplier should be set no higher than 800MHz (4X). 250 X 4 = 1000.

More information about HyperTransport can be found here (http://www.hypertransport.org/faqs.html#b) and here (http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/...2_2353,00.html)
