Bunch of new NEO2 Mod BIOS's

MoPMatrix · Aug 26, 2005

Dunno if you guys know about these yet but Sideeffect over at Xtremesystem has been pumping out MOD versions of the A.10 BIOS like crazy =)

Download them here.

And all BIOS's here.

MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum

Bios Rev.1

- Based on 1.A Official

- Default trc = 12 clks & trfc = 18 clks on boot

- Enabled 183 divider
- Enabled 150 Divider
- Enabled S.M.A.R.T by default
- Enabled Bios cacheable by default

- Disabled Temps from showing in bios completely
- Disabled 216, 233, 250 dividers completely
- Disabled ATI/Nvidia Speedup by default
- Disabled Full screen logo and small EPA logo by default
- Disabled Spread Spectrum by default
- Disabled Fast writes by default

Bios Rev.2

- Max Async = 8
- Read Write Queue bypass = 16
- Bypass max = 7

Fixes to Rev1 and 2

- Now all options available in bios will show.
- Full logo and small logo can now be enabled but are disabled by default
- Memory voltage default set to Auto
- Nvidia lan is now on by default.

Ballistix Edition

After extensive testing with athlon 64 tweaker and my Crucial Tracer Ballistix. I found these to be the most stable memory settings. These settings helped me out greatly and make a huge difference to stability.

- Max Async = 8
- Read Write Queue bypass = 16
- Bypass max = 7
- Idle Cycle limit = 64
- DQS Skew Mode = slower

TCCD Edition

Tested by CD1986 with TCCD ram to find most stable timings at maximum mhz. Tried DQS Skew faster slower and off also tested DQS Skew at 255 but the most stable timings were similar to the ballistix but with idle cycle limit at 256.

- Max Async = 8
- Read Write Queue bypass = 16
- Bypass max = 7
- Idle Cycle limit = 256
- DQS Skew Mode = slower
- Drive Strength weak by default

They look like some very nice new options. Thanks for the information, MoPMatrix.

Thanks for the info. I would imagine that these files are safe to try. I want to try the Ballistix Edition...(thought I was the only person using Ballistix).

I have read that the Ballistix work well with the Neo2. Are you running those Ballistix with a 166 divider?

i just used this bios the 183 divder is fantastic. so far everything seems to be running fine

MoPMatrix · Aug 28, 2005

Yeah im using the 1.A0 rev1 with the 150divider right now for my BH5, works great

rseven · Aug 28, 2005

That really is great to here. When I get some time I will experiment. A 183 divider would be perfect for my ram and cpu.

spydeymon · Aug 28, 2005

ya me too my ram max is like 185 with 2.85v and my max htt is 300 so with the 166 divider i was running ram at 245 now i can run at 170 i got a nice boost in sisoft sandra memtest
int 7255
float 7177

Rbreb13 · Aug 28, 2005

I just built a new system with a 4400+ X2 and the Neo 2. The TCCD Edition seems to work ok so far. Be trying some overclocking soon.
I was amazed that the "Official" 1.A0 BIOS has USB 2.0 disabled by default. MSI must have a real bunch of morons building their BIOS files!

rseven · Aug 28, 2005

LOL....You got that right!

Bhugarov · Aug 28, 2005

rseven

Yes I have been running the 166 divider for a while now. I really should try one of these BIOS's and see what I can get now that I have gotten some of the others issues resolved.

Nebulous · Aug 28, 2005

How about that. Here i am selling off my msi neo 2 to get a new pci-e video card and now is when the new modded bioses come out. Isn't that grand?

I think your still better off getting rid of it

ur going DFI right? =)

rseven · Aug 28, 2005

Yes, DFI and NF4 is the way to go right now. You won't miss that Neo2 at all.

Jakalwarrior · Aug 29, 2005

Anyone know of any of them that fix voltage controls with X2 chips? or atleast support them and add higher % boosts to use?

Let us lowly Neo2 users know how it works out. (Sometimes I feel like the last dinosaur on the planet using the Neo2 but I do know their are a few of us still left behind

)

spydeymon · Aug 29, 2005

austinbmxnig · Aug 29, 2005
