[AMD] MSI MS-65703 K7N2 Delta 2 LSR & AMD DURON 1800 Running at 1972mhz

HI! well i so happy with my msi MSI MS-65703 K7N2 Delta 2 LSR mobo, its sweet!
i use a lot of msi boards at work and decided to buy another one for my self.
this machine is my file server and it gets some insane traffic 35+GB a week.
i have an 1800mhz duron over clocked using dynamic overclocking on the second highest setting.totally stable @1972mhz but pc wizard and a few other appz say my max speed is 2193 anything over 2 ghz i'll be stoked with i have updated to the new bios with no problems. since i dont know durons that well what is the max i can get out of this cpu. i would rather not use dynamic overclocking and set the settings my self, so i would love some advice on this one, like voltage settings,fsb and so on. i have a monster heatsink with 2 120mm fans and 5 case fans. the highest temp ever was 92deg so i'm running way cool. plus i have some decent ram and a good power supply so i would love to get the most i can out of this machine.
anyways thanks!

Well the informative sticky by Kingfisher roxorz! i got both my comps running great!
my K7N2 Delta 2 LSR & AMD DURON 1800 is running at a bit over 2100mhz and its solid! my cpu temp never goes over 96deg thanks to artic silver 5 and a monster heatsink. the trick is to get your mem timings solid and i also had to move my dimms around to get dual channel that made a huge diff! the new nforce chipset drivers also help.
i got my other sys a K7N2 Delta 2 LSR & AMD ATHLON XP 2200 running great @ around 2230mhz at 99deg with the gigabyte cooler pro heatsink and 3GB of supertalent pc-3200 ddr. UNF!
each sys is in the large antec pro view 1000 server case w/ 5 80mm 3200rpm case fans and w/ geforce 5200 128mb vids
thanks MSI!

[nForce] K7N2 Delta@ LSR stability problem

Okay gang...here's the scoop. Recently purchased the K7N2 Delta2 LSR and equipped it with an AMD XP-2600 (locked), 2X512 Rosewill Dual-Channel sticks, plus Samsung 80gb HDD and ATI Radeon 9000pro AGP. Built the system with no hassle and clean installed Win XP Home. Just wanted to get the system up, so left BIOS setting where they were for a couple of days. Noticed that the processor was not being recognized, so checked the BIOS and realized FSB was set to 133 (processor at ~1500mhz). I changed the FSB to 166 with multiplier of 11.5 (which, I believe is correct for my 2600 Barton). Voltage is at 1.65v. Memory is at DIMM slots 1 & 3 (dual channel) and memory voltage is at 2.7v. (Timings at 2.5,3,3,7) After I made these changes to the BIOS and rebooted, Win XP ran checkdisk, and reported no errors. The problem now, is that graphics-intensive stuff (i.e., games) cause system to freeze after about five seconds. When the processor was underclocked, I didn't have this problem. I'm not interested in over-clocking... just want it to be stable at stock speeds. Other applications (Word, Excel, IE, Outlook Express) run fine. My ATI Radeon 9000pro is a 4X AGP card (I have 8X disabled in BIOS), and the voltage is at 1.5v. I don't think this is a PSU problem (400w), and only noticed the problems since changing the FSB to where it was supposed to have been all along. Am I missing something obvious?

Board runs best with fsb:dram at 1:1 Not sure what speed memory you have but needs to run at same speed as fsb, ie 166 Mhz =333 ddr.
I found bios b3 to work best for me. Give that a go.
Give make/model of psu with max amps to +3.3v, +5v and +12v. See my signature for example.
I found that with other bios I need high performance setting in cell menu at optimised, so check that.
Search on this forum for my username and keyword 'bios' for lots of other posts.
Good luck

K7n2 delta lsr + 3000XP prob

i just bought:
msi kt7n2 delta lsr
512 pc2900
3000XP
450w power supply
winXP
i cannot run the processr at 166mhz otherwise windows either brings up the error send report where it closses the application OR windows just restarts without warning.
my brother just bought the same set up aswell (he had his for crimbo) and hes got the same prob, except when he turns the speed to 166mhz, when windows goes to start he gets a BSOD, so i figure no biggy, just repair windows, as i go to do this before the installation or any questons are asked, he gets yet another BSOD and this happens everytime.
ive been ****ing round with bios options for a while but i aint very good at that ****.
and im running a ti4800 nVidia
i dont know wether to upgrade the bios because
A: i have never upgraded a bios before
and
B: if i were to take the board back hed probaly blame it on me for pratting around with it
so, what you guys reckon, i noticed in one of the topics that 400mhz ram would be needed for a 3000XP upgrade ?

The problems your having can be caused by power supply, memory compatiblitly and a few outer things.
List your power supply amps for 3.3 volt, 5 volt and 12 volt.
The ram is PC2700 it is 333 FSB ram your processor is a 400 FSB processor.
So you have created one problem there. Try running ram as single channel to see if it helps with stablity. Set ram speed to 333 FSB.
Or better yet buy some ram that is on the list of compatible ram 2-256 of PC3200 DDR is plenty of ram for games and programs and will keep price down.
Memory that is matched for Dual Channel will also help.
The newest Bios for the K7N2 Delta ILSR is 7.6 it may help with some ram problems but will not fix the FSB difference.

MSI k7N2 Delta ILSR,AMD 2700+ & MSI GFORCE FX 5600 VTDR 128 Overclock

Guys, I have the above mentioned GPU, Mobo & CPU (Box edition with AMD FUN). Can anyone tell me the best way to overclock them at the highest possible mark?

StormRider,
Best way to overclock???? Humm......
Start with a big Case, then get a large Brand Name Top of the Line Power Supply. Then get a Ultra High Performance Heatsink and Fan for your CPU, I prefer a Peltier, others prefer Water. Then put a bunch of fans in your case and make sure you have all your wires run so you get great airflow. Then get High Performance RAM for overclocking, I use Mushkin Level II Black. (If you can still find any.)
Last thing that many people forget, have your computer in an air conditioned space.
Then go have at it. Overclock like crazy.
Take Care,
richard

My whole system is running damned stable, except for not POSTing on a cold boot sometimes - I haven't worked out why this is just yet but I'm guessing it's something to do with MSI's badly engineered BIOSes. It seemed to have a lot of trouble cold POSTing on 300HTT so hence it being at 302 (I just put it up from 301 as it didn't POST properly this morn).
Anyway, feel free to ask any questions - I've bookmarked this thread and will definately check back.
Software you might want to download (google is your friend):

MSI K72N Delta LSR - windows XP keeps stop codes and serious errors Puzzled why

hi,
System specs
AMD sempron 2400
512mb DDR PC3200 ( 2 x 256nb Matrix module brand memory written on chips )
MSI K7N2 Delta LSR ( lastest Bios )
Onboard sound - Enabled

ATI Radeon 9550 ( installed at moment )
before was a Nvidia FX5700 LE took back faulty as tried radeon 9800 pro and was ok for a couple hours
got Nvidia FX 5500 - faulty fan making noise on boot.
Ive built a System up and its been running fine for a few months and then 1 day system crashed and got windows recovered from serious error and and wound't shut down but only restart.
Replaced memory that was in and checked with mem99 and said it was faults so replaced memory and shutdown problem vanished.
Few days later windows xp started saying recovered from serious error again with stop codes
0x0000050
Bccode 10000050
Bccode 1000008e
Bccode 1000000a
Stop Code D1
They was the stop codes been getting since, some said Page_fault_in_nonpaged_area, IRQL_not_less or Equal
Im puzzled what the problem can be know, even tried reformatting and reinstalling windows twice and not solved it, tried a another cdrom drive and still same.
Im puzzled what the problem can be.

Temps are fine running about 45'c in windows and max about 52'c when in full load ive got motherboard monitor on all time monitering temps and also recording and save out log file when turned off for temps.
Its a retail boxed AMD Sempron which i dont think much to the stock heatsink and fan ( Athlon 64bit ones are loads better copper base and heat compound instead of sticky pad )
The new memory is only think is got whats wrote on the memory modules is called Matrix, I know from past experience's when u reinstall windows and files cant copy across ok and keeps saying cant read file etc or cant copy file during installation thats indication bad memory strip, ive even got a memory thats fault ( i only use for testing and diagnostic ) as 1 of the memory modules comes up fault in memtest96 and even tried that and still same, thats how i found out in first place memory was causing system not to shutdown properly.
What i can try is my memory as ive got 1.5gig in Elixir branded and i know thats ok 100% with nforce 2 boards as i had a MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR and ran elixir memory with np, before i got a Gigabyte KT880 board.
Antivirus ive got running on system at the moment is AVG and always used it all time, it dont use any cpu usage and also saved my system loads from virus as it caught them as they tried to run and stop them, something norton's dont seem to do very well.
I give modem a try on a USB hub but its strange when u unplug USB its ok and NTL recommends when modem stops working to unplug power from back modem and leave it a while and it comes back on, done this in past successfully but this time its blue screening, Which could be part of windows main files are corrupted. The USB Modem is running of its own PSU so shound't be using USB power at all, if it was that explain blue screen when taking power off as it do it when taking usb out.
Error codes ive watched a Microsoft web broadcast ( over a hour long ) about error codes and 40% of them are software + hardware related combined they make it sound so easy to diagnose them but in reality unless u know windows 100% its hard to.
Harddrive seems to copy files ok across and back, i have to try another Harddrive and see but from past experiences when Harddrives are about to fail windows seems to stall, lockup and also just stop responding when accessing certain programs or files.
Its a confusing 1 as u solve 1 piece of puzzle another comes up and throws u off track again.
Looking that all parts ive replaced so far have solved 1 or another problem to only reveal another hidden, PC's who have them lol
If i solve it i post my finding np it keep me busy for a couple days testing things, u learn something new every day with pc's new faults and problems and how to solve them, try too lol
And most of time its compatibility problems but odd times hardware or software.

MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Dead? Help!

Hey all,
Well, the other day I was on my computer playing a game when my mobo fan started making an odd noise (as if switching rpm), so I took off the side of my case and took a look inside. Everything seemed to be functioning properly, then I switched my cpu fan speed via the pci slot speed control. As I switched from High-Medium-Low, I noticed that the fan actually slowed to the point where I could see the blades spinning, at least for a second or so. I found that rather odd, seeing as how I've never seen a fan (especially a cpu fan) slow to the point that I could see the blades spin. Anyway, a couple of hours later, I shut down and went to sleep.
The next day I had my comp on for about maybe 30mins to an hour or so when suddenly I heard an alarm from the computer speaker, so I was like, ":censored:?" since I had never heard it before. It was evidently the temperature warning, which I had set to 70C. So I shut down within 15 seconds and opened up the side of my case.
I noticed that the cpu fan wasn't moving at all (usually I'd open the case in time to see the spin-down). So I turned the computer back on and the fan didn't budge, so I immediately powered down, assuming that the CPU Fan had died. Later on, I hooked the fan itself up to a free power cord in my sister's computer and booted up, along with the speed controller, flipping from medium to high to low without any problems.
I then did screwed the fan back to the heatsink in my comp and booted up. I went into the bios an noticed that the rpm was 8k, which is way too high for my fan (normally 5k). So i began switching from high, medium, to low once again, then I saw that the rpm reader in the bios went to 0. So I looked back in the side of my case and saw that the cpu fan was once again dead. At this point I concluded that it was the fan and was about to order the Volcano 12.
A day later I placed the fan inside my sister's computer on a free cord, yet again, and yet again, it worked fine.
I once again put it in my computer to test and this time it worked fine, even while switching between speeds. Unfortunately, I then noticed that the mobo fan was not moving, then began to move.
Well, I'm guessing now that it's simply the motherboard that has a short, since both the motherboard fan as well as the cpu fan have randomly been dying the past few days. The motherboard fan; however, has switched rpm many times in the past from 5k to 3k.
It could also be a PSU problem, but I have Antec 400watt psu and it's been working fine for the past 2 years, so I doubt it. I've had the motherboard for a little over a year. I upgraded my cpu from 2200+ to 3000+ in July. That's also when I bought the cpu fan. The motherboard fan began fluctuating in rpm noticeably back in April or May of this year.
Yesterday, I used the computer again and had it on for about 2 hours or so and I had speedfan monitoring the temps and the rpm. The temps stayed relatively stable: 48 cpu, 44 mobo.
But alas, the RPMs were totally [blame me for the swear filter] up. At one point, both the mobo and cpu fan speeds were reading 0, even though both continued to spin within the case and the temps remained the same. Then after 30mins or so, they cpu fan began reading again at 40,000-42,000rpm, which is obviously incorrect, seeing as the fan is rated for around 5k. I got/get the same readings in the bios, both fans reading at 0rpm as they continue to physically spin.
Also, during a number of times that I've started up the comp within the past few days, the motherboard northbridge fan wasn't spinning at all and didn't begin to until a few minutes into my windows session.
Also, I took out the NB fan and noticed a slight crack in the back of it.
I was considering simply just buying the Volcano 12 and the MSI K7N2 Delta2 Platinum rather than RMAing the mobo. Then perhaps an Antec 550W psu, if necessary.
Any ideas what I should replace and in which order? And has anybody else encountered any similar problems with this mobo (at least with the mobo rpm, which has been a prob for about 6months on and off)?
I bought the mobo along with a 2200+ in July of 2003. I upgraded the ram from 256 to 512 in April 2004 (which is around the time I started hearing rpm probs with the mobo fan) and I upgraded the cpu in July of 2004
Many Thanks!

Could be a fluctuating PSU that's breaking down power to the MB. You have a whole lot of components dragging that PSU down. With what you have in your rig I would run either an Antec or Enermax 550W. Best way to be sure is to borrow a PSU or buy one from a store with a good return policy so that you can return it if indeed it turns out to be the MB. If I don't have your board here on my bench to test the only thing I can suggest to you is to swap out components unfortunately.

[nForce] K7N2 Delta 2 LSR boot/power up issues

I installed the K7N2 Delta LSR mb with an Athlon XP socket A 3000+ cpu. The computer turns on but won't boot. Nothing appears on the monitor screen and there are no beeps. The harddrive spins, the board has power but nothing happens. When I put my old mother board back (MSI K7T Pro266A) in with the Athlon 2000+, everything works fine.
Maxtor 60 gb harddrive
512 MB SD pc2100 SD Ram
Abit 128 mb Radeon 9200SE Video card
Any suggestions?

A few things to check:
Do you have any unused stand offs in the case touching the motherboard
The XP3000 CPU is a barton core and comes in two variants, a 333FSB and a 400FSB version. Your RAM is PC2100 which with an Nforce chipset is a recipie for problems. The NForce chipset is picky about RAM and PC2100 running on a PC2700/PC3200 processor FSB probably won't work.
Also post your PSU max amps, as a +12V rail below 16A could cause problems.
Do you have a D-Bracket connected ? This is the PCI insert with 4 leds on ?

K7N2 Delta2-LSR imposible to boot

I had my PC working for 2 days but then I had to unplug it and when I plugged it in again the system did not answer. When I push the button it seems like the PSU is unplugged (but it is not). No fans spinning, no led on. I have checked the PSU and it works perfect (its new) and the buttons in the case are OK as well (I used a polimeter to test it), the battery of the mother board is OK too.
Any idea about what problem can cause this? It does not try to boot, nothing.
My current configuration (i have taken out the optical devices):
K7N2 Delta2-LSR
AMD XP 2800+
512Mb +256Mb of PC2100 generic ram
nvidia FX5200
Seagate 160Mb ATA HD
PSU: 450W low noise generic
PS: Sorry about my poor English

Hello,
I was reading the whole topic regarding your problem, which for some strange reason seems equal to a problem I had with another MSI mainboard. That one was a K8N Neo3, which also has an nVIDIA chipset as the K7N2 Delta ILSR. (Not the same chipset but it's an nVIDIA)
That computer was working well, but I had to unplug it, in order to change it to another place, and after I plugged everything againnothing worked.
I did exactly the same things you have done so far to trying to power up the computer. I mean, I opened the PC and:
* Removed the Battery = No answer.
* Cleared CMOS = No answer.
* Took out the RAM stick = No answer, not even a "beep"
* Installed another RAM stick = Nothing.
* Disconected everything else inside the computer, except CPU and RAM and tested again = nothing.
Well I even changed the CPU and the RAM for fresh new ones I had in my inventory, but had no luck at all.
Then, I decided to check if the power cable was correctly connected, and they were, but I noticed something that was wrong:
The PS/2 Mouse cable was connected to the Keyboard connector and the PS/2 Keyboard cable was connected to the
Mouse connector.
I said, "No, this little mistake can't be the cause" but I decided to give it a try and connect it the way it should be.
Now, I press the power button once again; and guess what: Voilá! It powered up inmediatly and booted into Windows XP without
problems of any kind.
That may not be you particular case, but check it out. I know that for an electrical engineer that may look really silly, but this can happen
to every one.
To make sure of this, I connected the keyboard and the mouse wrong again (intentionally), on my own K8N SLI Platinum mainboard and
a K8N Neo4 Platinum, both of them based on nVIDIA chipesets and in both tests I found that doing this will completely prevent the computer
from powering up, on in the case of the K8N Neo4 Platinum, it power up but nothing happens. All you get with that particular mainboard is a
black screen, and no beeps at all.
However, VIA chipsets and some Intel Chipsets, WILL power up and even boot with those cables connected in the wrong way. I still don't
know if SiS will power up or not.
So take a look at it, and make sure those two cables are correcly connected to their respective connectors.
Cheers,

K7N2 Delta - hope this is of some help

M/B K7N2 Delta - ILSR
AMD XP 3200+
CORSAIR XMS 2 x 256mb DDR400
ATI 9600XT
2 x 200GB MAXTORS
450 w PSU
I've had several years experience in building my own PC's, and I suppose like everyone else I've learnt some expensive lessons. At the moment I've got several PC's all with AMD's ranging from XP 2100 - 3200+
2 Abit m/b, 2 Asus m/b and the latest one, which is the MSI Delta
This is the first time I've tried an MSI m/b and I have to say I've never known a board as twitchy as this when it comes to setting the FSB and DRAM timings.
When I first setup a m/board I don't, as a rule, adjust anything in the BIOS just to see how things bootup. For the test I also attach a spare hard drive with a basic windows XP setup and very little else. This helps me to observe how windows responds to the new motherboard - if there are any compatibility problems at this stage then windows will soon tell you in no uncertain terms with the dreaded blue screen messages. And believe you me I've had plenty of them with this motherboard.
Not only have the blue screens appeared but I've lost count of the number of times this system has either crashed out on me or reset itself for no apparent reason.
Right then, my first port of call was the BIOS........hmmm, everything looked fine the system was on auto, the CPU FSB Clock showed 200Mhz and the DRAM clock also showed 200. I switched the memory timings to manual because I wanted to change the CAS latency to 2.5, which I knew was the correct setting for the CORSAIR memory with an AMD cpu.
Next stop was to check all the cacheable stuff just in case the AwardBIOS was making too many assumptions which it sometimes does.
Tweaked a few other settings, but nothing that would have a drastic effect.
All this of course was to no avail, as the same problems kept happening.
Next step was to check for any BIOS update, and yes, as look would have it, MSI had brought out version 7.7, which I installed immediately.
During the process of updating the BIOS I noticed a message appeared saying, updating DDR timings (interesting I thought, had MSI realised they had a problem).
Again all this was to no avail of course. So I decided to tweak the CPU FSB Clock speed and started increasing it one step at a time, which only made matters worse and eventually I had to reset everything with the jumpers on the m/b. So I turned to decreasing the speed and after some trial & error I finally got the system stable at 192Mhz. Of course this also effects the speed of the DRAM clock which now runs at 382. Not quite what I expected but I suppose I should be happy that my system is still running.
Let's hope MSI continue to release BIOS updates which may evetually improve their timings !!
My condolences to all who suffer with MSI blues
Truly yours

Problems installing windows on 36.7GB raptor on KT6 Delta-LSR

I've been trying to get this damn thing to work for a few days and then someone told me about the forum here at MSI. So far I've been reading different threads now for a total of approx. 3-4 hours and I don't think I've come across someone with my exact problem unless I've overlooked it. I've had two 40GB drives for a couple of years now and I decided that I'll upgrade to a WD 36.7 GB raptor. I thought all would be good until I popped it in and tried to install windows on it. I boot off the Win XP CD and press F6 to instal the SATA drivers. It accepts the drivers on the floppy, recognizes the drive and reformats and continues until, right after the format it says, "The disk or CD may be damaged......blah blah blah." I don't know if this is referring to my HDD, but it seemed like it was referring to my floppy b/c when I press enter to continue, it asks me to insert the floppy again, and then it reads the floppy and gives the same error. I've been trying to get this to work for the past few days now, and I think I tried almost everything. I disconnected all other optical drives and HDD's except for the Raptor and my dvd writer and still same prob. I tried d/l new sata drivers from MSI and still same problem. I changed where I plugged the sata into (since there were two ports) and still same thing. I wanted to update my bios (v5.5) but the readme file said not to flash from a floppy. I don't have another drive to flash from, so I don't know what to do about that. Please anybody help!!! My system spec are below...
MSI KT6 DELTA-LSR
AMD 3000
1.5 GB RAM
ATI Radeon 9200
WD 36.7 RAPTOR
Samsung 40GB 7200rpm
LG CD writer
LG DVD writer
Enermax 300W
SB Audigy
D-Link wireless network adapter
....I think that's about it.
When I tried installing last the CDRW and Samsung drive were disconnected....

Hello,
I would like to comment on the 1.5Gb of ram.
Please use 1 stick and try again.
Also I hope you are not mixing modules of different make/spec/size.
1GB + 512MB
512MB + 512MB + 512MB <this one is good if thry are all the same make/model/revision
256MB + 256MB + 1GB
You can test the memory with this program.
http://www.memtest.org/download/1.51/memtest86+-1.51.floppy.zip
- Extract all the files to a folder, then run the install.bat.
- It will make a memtest bootdisk.
- Then you must boot from this disk, please test each module individually.
- If they are all fine then try your combo and see what happens.
- Test each module for 1hour, if you get any errors instantly then you can stop and change module.
Do not flash until you are sure that the memory is ok.
HOW TO FLASH BIOS
==============
Download this run it to make a boot disk.
http://www.nerdlabs.org/bootdisks/diskimages/wboot98se.exe
Then get a 2nd disk, copy everything in the BIOS zip to it.
Boot from the RAMDRIVE DISK, start computer without cdrom support.
once its all loaded, put in the 2nd disk.
type
copy a:\*.* c:
press enter
type
c:
press enter
type

press enter
it should flash the BIOS.
Then you must turn the PC off and clear the CMOS, (JBAT jumper).
Reconfigure all of your settings.

SATA on K7N2 Delta Series

?( I've been trying to get the SATA to work on the K7N2 Delta ILSR mainboard. I have 1 SATA drive connected to SER1 and 1 IDE ATA133 drive connected to IDE 3. In Fasttrak RAID setup, the only drive recognized is the SATA drive. Doesn't see the IDE ATA133 drive on IDE 3. Weird but there ya go.
Further in the Fastrack utility, I can not define or create a RAID-0 array, but I can create a performance arrary with just the SATA drive as a * bootable array. However the BIOS does not recognize any drives.
Could this be a faulty board or a jumper setting I'm missing?
Any suggestions?

Did what you suggested Deathstalker [you read David Gemmel?] and put the IDE drive on IDE1 and the SATA drive on SER1. BIOS detected the IDE drive. Installed Windoze 2000 on IDE HDD, installed drivers and Windoze does see the SATA drive but can not access it [unknown format]note: did format the SATA via Fdisk FAT32. Was able to get Fasttrak to recognize the IDE drive on IDE3 and create an array of the SATA drive and the IDE ATA133 drive after jumpering the drive to CS but not Master or Slave. BIOS still doesn't detect the created array by putting in RAID-0 bootable drive in boot sequence.
basic system:
MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR
AMD XP 2400
2 512MB Kingston PC2700
Seagate 120 GB SATA HDD
WD 30GB ATA-133 HD
A whozits CD ROM drive
Not sure why the BIOS doesn't Pick up the SATA RAID array. I've setup 7 other systems [servers] with the IDE RAID with nadda a problem. First venture into Serial ATA drives.
