Best Cooler For XP 3000+ on K7N2-Delta ILSR?

As the title suggests I am looking for a good, high performance Heatsink and Fan for my current XP 3000+ system. I have a K7N2 Delta ILSR mobo. Three Heatsinks I have been looking at are:
Thermaltake Volcano 12 Extreme
Thermalright SLK-900A with a Vantec Tornado 92mm fan
Thermaltake SilentTower - (I think this one requires holes in the Mobo which the K7N2 Delta ILSR doesn't have :( Please correct me if I am wrong).
I am looking for a high-performance heatsink at an affordable price (max £50) with which I can do some overclocking. Currently I have one of the Zalman ones ( I think it is a CNPS6000-CU) which is insufficient (load temps 66 C). Help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, i'm looking for a good price vs performance vs noise solution really. Both the Volcano and the Vantec Tornado are really loud, but they seem to perform quite well.

Best cooler for 645 max LRU

Just wondering what all the experts thinks is the best cooler for a P4 2.26 ON THE 645DX Max2 LRU .
After assembling the PC, I don't want to take the m/b out to bolt on a cooler, so how about one that clips on!!!!

AGP Setup For k7n2 delta ilsr

I have a k7n2 delta ilsr mb, in display properties on desk top setting tab then advanced button then GeForce tab under adapter information is Bus and memory. To the right of Bus it reads AGP (PCI mode) shouldn't that read AGP (8X), how can I change this. Ron.

Hi,
No, leave it at 64 or 128.
Go here for an explanation:

Need help with jumper settings for k7n2 delta ilsr

I have a k7n2 delta ilsr and I'm using a AMD 2800+ barton 333 fsb. I'm not sure what the jumper settins are for this cpu. The users guide only shows 133/166 and 200, can anyone help me with the jumper settings.
Thanks, Ron.

Hi,
As your processor is 333FSB - the jumper should be set to 166FSB as should the BIOS. As your RAM CPU combination runs at 2x166=333 or thereabouts.
Basically, as a general rule, if you halve the FSB speed of your processor you'll get the setting for both BIOS and Jumper. 200FSB=100, 266FSB=133, 333FSB=166 etc. etc.

Kingston HyperX Memory for K7N2 Delta-ILSR

Hey will my K7N2 Delta-ILSR support the Kingston HyperX serises DDR400-512MB Ram?
Im looking to buy 2 maybe 3 of these and really want to be sure theyll work.
http://www.ec.kingston.com/shop/partsinfo.asp?ktcpartno=KHX3200A/256&promo=hx2shp
I checked the supported ram list for the K7N2 Delta-ILSR and they wernt on there so i just figured it may be out of date?
So thanx in Advance for info!
p.s. It will support 3x 512MB right?

Has anyone noticed how the Hyper X went from the poor-man's Corsair to being priced equal to OCZ, and usually higher then Geil, as well as usually being very close to Corsair, if not the same? I think only Mushkin beats it out now price-wise...

Dont find any connection for PFC on K7N2 Delta ILSR

Hi !
Just bought a MSI Motherboard K7N2 Delta ILSR
Looking for the connector pin for my PFC ( Power fan Control)
I can only find two fanconnectors on the board
CPU and System
SORRY if this question has been asked before
searched the Forum but did not find anything

I just installed this same board. I only found 2 also, so I suppose that is all there is. If you are trying to set the system up so you can monitor the power supply temps and fan, here is what I did.
The chipset fan is a 12V fan, so unplug it from the motherboard and power it by using an adapter so you can run it off one of the Molex leads. I do not know if they make these because I fabricated the wiring myself. You will not be able to monitor the chipset temps though.
To fab the connector, I just used the wiring from an old system fan and soldered two small pins (about one-quarter of an inch long), covered each lead with heat shrink and plugged them in via a standard Molex connector. Make sure that you do not leave any of the pin exposed, ie: (the heat shrink should push up to the plastic of the chipset fan connector).. I finished it by covering the new connector with heat shrink to make sure it didnot come apart.
Now you can use the northbridge fan control for the pfc. This has worked good for me, and was $30 cheaper than a fan controller unit

Case Recommendation for K7N2 Delta-ILSR

Greetings,
I'm looking for a mid size ATX case that that has the front usb etc. ports prewired as to work easily with a K7N2 Delta-ILSR mb. By that I mean I don't have to plug each wire individually (with names that don't match) just a plug that goes on the mb. My eyesight isn't as sharp so hooking up those one wire at a time is tediuous. Not to mention the lack of starndards Does anyone know if this is address on the next rev of mb's (with pcix etc).
Thanks

Brazos,
I have yet to see a case that has all the USB wires together, they are all 1 pin at a time. You will find the Antec line of cases very good. (You can always use a magnifying glass to see the pins.) The pin names on the Antec cases are standardized and easy to figure out.
If you want a good case at a cheap price, then go with the SLK3700AMB:
If you want a good high end case, then go with the Sonata:
If weight is an issue, then go with the Super Lanboy:
Take Care,
Richard

Warranty Length for K7N2 Delta-ILSR

What is the mfg's warranty length on the K7N2 Delta-ILSR?
I filled out the online support form earlier today but no response as of yet, and me being the impatient rascal I am, I didn't want to wonder all weekend. I bought it October, 2003 and the floppy drive controller seems to have gone out.
Thanks!
HH

Thank you, Glenn!
Looks like mine is 2 yrs. & 4 months old. Kind of stinks that I lost 5 months on the warranty by going by the mfg. date instead of date of purchase. Its not worth the hassle & would even cost more to RMA it for the controller. Ahh, but this is IT, the "World of Workarounds". I'll live!
Thanks for your time, Glenn!

Temperature reading for K7N2 Delta ILSR

I have a 2500+ Barton (333 FSB) to work with K7N2 Delta ILSR and 2x256 MB Samsung DDRAM(400 FSB).I use MBM to read my CPU temperatures.Usually 45-47 C idle and 54-58 C under full load.I overclock CPU to 400 FSB and I get LOWER TEMPERATURES!!!!!
I use 1:1 bios setting for CPU and DRAM speeds either 333 or 400 FSB.
How can this by possible?

I use Speedfan which seems to follow the temp in the bios. I've heard that MBM is also accurate. As far as your temps going down on a OC that is very odd indeed.

Anyone help - need I/O plate for K7N2 Delta ILSR??

I'm based in the UK but will pay P&P worldwide........
cheers
D.

Good luck!

Help! amd xp3000+ barton temp's.... k7n2 delta ilsr

Hi all, (sorry for the lengthy post)
Ive recently built a new system based on the K7N2 DELTA ILSR, great mobo, however my cpu temps are extremely high! on idle 48C and on load nearly 60C. the mobo temp hits approx 40c on load and 34 on idle.
I had an issue with cooling as the cpu heat diode would freeze my pc as it was hitting temps of 58c on idle. i was using the coolermaster aero 7+.... no good at all!!!!! even when on full rpm. Now im using a vantec 80mm fan on a Thermalright SLK-800A. much improved, however still extremely hot.
after reading this review (section headed: Heat Dissipation: Thermal Conditions and S2K Bus Disconnect) :
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/athlonxp-3000.html
......on "S2k bus disconnect" created by AMD for the barton range.
As the article states, it reduces Cpu temps ALOT!! but im not too sure ion how to activate it or even if my MSI motherboard supports it....
Can anyone shed some light???
system:
Radeon 9800
1GB 3200 Ram
xp 3000+ Barton
Sound Audigy 2
Thanks, Sav

Sorry about the long reply!!! the first thing i would like to say is why does this happen at 58C even with the bios temp settings diabled??? pehapes MSI could Answer this?
I have spent countless hours trying to fix this problem and a lot of £££. A bit of background to me I am a design engineer and i like my PC to work well. I have the following main components
xp3200+ based system (Max die 85C)
with dual 512ddr sticks running at 400mhz
Matrox Parphilia
10K SATA hard disk
7,200 133ATA hard drive
Plus motherboard Nvidia chipset
these all kick out a lot of heat the (CPU contributing 76.8w).
first i started out with a very cheap case and standard amd heatsink. I found after about 5 minutes my pc kept crashing i automatically thought that it was probably the case temperature so monitored this found every time cpu reached 58C it crashed on the dot. The only conclusion i can draw from this that this MB has some thermal protection that can not be switched off but i am guessing perhapes MSI would like to answer this.
I quickly decided as an engineer that the best thing would be to go and buy a aluminuim case with lots of case fans (Basically a big heatsink itself). After a lot of searching i settled for a Coolermaster ATC110. It has four case fans all run at full speed all the time. Now this stoped the crashing problem it only now crashes if i put it under continous loading. Then i went out and bought a new cpu heatsink to replace the amd standard one. This had a minor effect on cpu temp but again under high loads the system crashed at 58C. Obvoiusly as an engineer i satred to think that the amount of noise the system with all its fans going at max is like being put in a wind tunnel.
I then turned to looking at the thermal diserpation requiremnts of all the bits in my system. I worked out that i need to disserpate 281Wmax of heat with my current setup. The kind of heat a small electric fire produces!!!. I begun to wounder if i could shift enough air through the two exhaust fans at the rooms ambient temp to do this. After some calculations I found that my case exhaust case fans are only just surfficent to disspate this amount. Which could explain this the crashing. because the higher the case temp the lower the capability of the heatsinks to conduct heat away from the item.
In the end i gave up with active cooling methods (heatsinks and fans) and realised my only option was to go for external cooling. I now have the system setup with a koolance exos cooling both hardisks graphics card cpu and MBchipset. I know this is very extreme but the case fan noise got to me now i have disconected all case fans except for the ones in my thermaltake power supply which are virtually silent. After about 12 evenings of testing and installation I now have a system which is not only stable but the CPU temp is only 32C.
Obvoiusly getting the heat out of the case is a good idea. The Exos is only running at it's lowest setting which means the fans arnt making any noticable noise.
MOST IMPORTANTLY IT DOES NOT CRASH ANY MORE. AND THERE IS THE PSSIBILTY OF OVERCLOCKING.
The question still remains though why 58C?

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

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.

Someone plz help me with my k7n2 delta-ilsr

Hey everyone,
I just put my sytem togother and ran into a problem. I got the system to boot up just fine. It was not until I tried installing windows xp proffesional that I ran into problems. The installation process runs pretty smoothly, until the computer reboots to run windows for the first time. After it reboots the windows logo appears and the after 2 seconds or so, a blue screen appears saying that windows was shut down to prevent any damage to my computer. I have never encountered this problem before when I built other systems. The screen suggests that I should check my HDD's for viruses or check to see if they are configured correctly. The HDD's are SATA and I have them set up in RAID 0 mode and yeah I installed the RAID drivers during the installation process. Thinking that I had made mistake setting up the SATA drives, tried installing windows using a regular IDE hard drive and it gave the same message. I am stumped anybody have any ideas of what I might be doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated . My system specs are below.

Memory that comes with timing of 5 2 2 2 or 6 2 2 2 or usally winbond BH-5 memory chips. Ones with 5 3 2 2 or CH-5 winbond chips. The BH-5 chips overclock a little better than the CH-5. (Muskin uses BH-5 winbond in there black ram)
Winbond is no longer making BH-5 chips but is going to make a limited run of them as demend is high for them.
The first number shown here is the Traz and it controls the flush timing bench testing is showing that a higher number of 9, 10 or 11 or getting better bench results than the 6 or 5. Thats with Dual Channel memory.
The timing you show probly should be something like 8 3 3 3 or 8 3 3 2.5 unless it is there faster Dual channel ram.
The timing numbers can also appear like this 2 2 2 5 the high number is the Traz either way.
Look on your memory manufactor web site for the timing that if should run at also look at the voltage as this can make a big differance.
