Best DDR Module for MSI K7N2/K7N2G mobos...help

Hi,
i am thinking in buying new DDR modules for my PC, and not generic ones, i mean high performance, low latency, ready to overclock modules. And i was thinking in buying PC3200 or PC3500 modules.
So, could you share your experience with me about high performance (CL2) DDR modules out there and the MSI K7N2/K7N2G mobos.
Feel free to post.
Bye.

getting quality memory is a must with these new power hungry boards.
I use both Mushkin 3200 Black low latency 2x512 in 2 machines.
I also use 2x 512 XMS Corsair 3200LL and they are equal but I favor mushkin for absolutly no problems, stable, fast.
With anything you get what you pay for.

    Best BIOS setting for MSI K8N Plat + AMD 3000+ Venice + Geil Value RAM

    If you want SSE3 support and you do not overclock, Bios 1.4 is the only one officially available (1.41beta is not official).
    Try to upgrade to 1.4 and see it for yourself, do the upgrade with floppy in DOS so that you can save your old Bios.
    I would rather wait till mid June when a less troublesome new bios is suppose to be availabe for NEO4 MBs.

  • Memory modules for Msi Big Bang trinergy

    Hey forum,
    i want to buy some memory modules for my trinergy mobo because the ones i had earlier also proved to be incompatible. I would like to ask you if there are any memory modules besides the ones recommended from the MSI site concerning my mobo. I am looking for a 2x2 gb ram kit with a heat dispenser so it can work around 1600mHz. Thank you in advance 
    P.S Is the list on the site the only one? i mean are there any updated versions of it with more high end memory modules tested?

    Ideally you would provide us with your fullsystem specs first >>Posting Guide<<
    From a memory perspective, the reason these modules have heatspreaders is mostly due to marketing and to impress the potential buyers. The secondary reason is that most manufacturers sell you overvolted and overclocked 1066 or 1333 chips on a 1600 marketed module that needs 1,65V instead of the standard 1,5V. Your memory controller is part of the CPU and natively only supports 1333 at 1,5V.
    If you really insist, then at least get yourself a 1600 kit that does this speed at 1,5V. One of the modules that seem to work well are the CMZ4GX3M2A1600C9 from Corsair. From a user perspective, the mem modules from Crucial that you see in my signature come highly recommended as they have been proven to work on the P55 platform whenever used.

  • Best memory modules for K8N SLI Platinum

    Suggestions please, since current modules are not fit for overclocking.
    Goes without saying, best bang for money 

    This link should help you!
    G. Skill and Corsair make good RAM. Other people also like Crucial, Geil and OCZ. G. Skill are especially good for overclocking.

  • Recommend me a PSU for MSI K8n SLi Mobo

    I recently purchased a MSi K8n SLi Mobo with a X800XL GFX Card and was sold a Hiper 425 PSU, after getting everthing home a built it has come to my attention that to make the onboard sound work, that Pin 20 on the PSU must be -5. The PSU that was sold to me does not carry this pin 20 -5V.
    Can somebody please recomend me a PSU that will have this -5V pin at Postion 20
    Thanks for any Help

    But I see that you have an ATI video card? Does that mean that you have no plans to actually use the SLI component? This makes a big difference since one card requires much less power.
    I was lucky enough t have won my GFX Card, but i do plan on eventually going SLi

  • MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Help Please.

    Hi all
    I have a MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR motherboard that im putting together and I have a question.
    In the middle of the socket where the CPU sits is a small CPU thermal protection sensor, my question is that the sensor is higher than the socket and will be touching the CPU when it is inserted is this normal or should sensor be bent downward so not to be in direct contact with the CPU?
    I would not be asking this question if not for someone telling me not to put any external case sensor on the CPU direct only on the heat sink but in this case its built into the motherboard itself. Best to be safe than sorry I thought.
    Many thanks

    Hi Andy
    I too have just bought an MSI K7N2-ILSR. On mine the sensor is bent down so as not to contact the cpu. Was like this when I bought it so I would suggest that it is not supposed to touch processor

  • Memory stick for msi km3m-v mobo

    Hello all,
    I'm asking on behalf of a good friend of mine who called me the other day to have a look at his pc as it was having a bad performance.
    So I went to his place, saw that it was really going very slow, and opened the case to have a look at the components…
    At first glance, I could observe a lot of dust and one memory stick of DDR 256MB at 333mhz.
    I cleaned all the dust (looks pretty clean now), uninstalled all the unnecessary programs he had and decided to get him more memory, as 256MB (despite that he only uses his pc for e-mail checking, word and occasional websurfing) is not enough to improve the performance.
    So I looked at the specs of his motherboard and found out that it only supports 333mhz.  I found two shops here that still support this memory, only DDR 512MB sticks though at 333mhz.
    Now the question is:  Could it be possible to fit in one stick of DDR 1GB at 400mhz? Would the mobo adjust itself the clockrate to 333mhz so that the pc can run?  Actually 1GB DDR memory stick at 400 mhz is cheaper than 2x512 at 333mhz    What do you think guys…should I go for 2x512MB @ 333mhz or 1GB @ 400mhz 
    Also, I do not know which Bios version he’s using, I think that I won’t touch it as the system is running well and the latest Bios update is from 2004, almost as old as his pc.
    But looking at the msi link from above I found that the Lan / Chipset and Sound driver indeed have updates, respectively from 2008 / 2007 & 2006.
    Would you recommend to install these latest versions ? I think at least that the Lan driver makes sense…or?
    Thank you again for reading this,
    Best regards,
    Koiishi

    Hi Bas,
    Thank you for your answer   Don't worry, I won't touch the Bios , I wouldn't like to ruin a mobo which is not mine
    I'll get then 2x512 MB DDR 333mhz, I also think that if the max FSB is 333mhz the memory should not exceed it. At least I think that my buddy will notice a significant peformance improvement with 1GB compared to 256MB DDR
    Kind regards,
    Koiishi

  • Which is the best SAP module for a "Business Lead" in healthcare-IT Industry with no IT-specific skills?

    My Qualification is M.Pharmacy. I have basic computer skills with 7 years of experience and adequate domain knowledge in medical/ pharma verticals and my job role is majorly in the Business Development Department.
    I found that the modules like SD (Sales & Distribution) and may be ABAP, Business Objects are relevant. But, it seems like ABAP/BO are not suitable for my profile (No IT/programming skills).
    My questions are:
    1] Is choosing a SAP career at this point is gainful?
    2] If I decide to go for SAP, which modules do you suggest.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Best BIOS setting for MSI K8N Plat + AMD 3000+ Venice + Geil Value RAM

    Hi all,
    Which BIOS settings would you recommend for this combination:

    3000+ Venice core
    2 x 512 MB GEIL value RAM
    I have NorthQ Giant UFO cooler attached to CPU. I would like to have as fast system as possible but remain on the safe side - a 100% stable system.... I know default would be safe enough but wouldn't use the potential of the CPU, I gues....

  • 5 Ghz wifi module for MSI GT683DX

    Hello all,
    i am playing with idea of upgrading the wifi module to dual band that would support 5Ghz band. Did anyone make successful try on this? So far i am looking at Intel website and they do have some of these modules available. They look pretty much the same as stock Intel N-130 so i think it shouldn't be problem with compatibility but better to be safe than sorry (hence the question here).
    Thanks

    You're very welcome.
    You can look at the service manual at the link below and in chapter 3 you will find an illustrated parts list with all components you can purchase with the HP part numbers.
    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03099448.pdf
    Then to buy a part, you can enter the part # in the site below in the applicable box.
    http://h20141.www2.hp.com/Hpparts/Default.aspx?mscssid=29A6F8A626224D4583A5DD74EF3A2FAF
    When you see the wireless cards available, the dual band card you see is only for notebooks with Intel processors--and it doesn't matter, as the part number for that card is incorrect and nobody knows what the right one is.
    Changing a wireless card in an HP consumer notebook is nothing short of a nighmare due to the BIOS lock out of any cards not listed in the service manual for the specific model notebook.

  • What is the best memory kit for MSI Z97 Gaming Series with 4790K?

    What is the best and most stable kit in each category?
    1. 4x8Gb
    2. 4x4Gb
    3. 2x8Gb

    Not really good idea. It's temporary usage, and instead of RAMDisk I suggest you buy SSD of SATA III or M.2 depending on what motherboard you have. Go for 16Gb, and buy 120Gb SSD, it will be more efficient. Also you won't get much difference between starting game like Battlefield 4 on SSD and RAMDisk.
    Or buy 2x60Gb SSD, 1 for OS and 1 for apps so OS drivers doesn't mix together with games etc.

  • Problem with sound for msi K7N2 delta-L

    Hello i'm french.
    I have bought a msi card but i have problem with the sound.
    i can't have The dolby 5.1.
    But i don't have the s-bracket(MCP2-T) so i don't know if i can have the dolby 5.1.
    I will try the answer of backwoodz .
    Thanks to you!
    Firebird

    Afternoon
    I have the Delta-L myself, and to my eternal chagrin, we only have the MCP, and therefore the crappy Realtek ALC-650 sound chip, not the NVidia Soundstorm featured on the MCP-T. We'll just have to resign ourselves to sounds straight from Satan's cul.
    Unless we buy a Terratec, of course
    take it easy,

  • Overclocking software for MSI K7N2-l

    I'm searching for overclocking software to change fsb speed under Windows.
    Unfortunately Fuzzy logic doesn't work on this board. ;(
    Does there any other utility exist ?
    *hoping*

    Yeah, what backwoodz said.  You can change a slew of items in the BIOS to get more speed out of it.  You can either change your FSB, or if you CPU is unlocked, your multiplier.  Or, you can change both.

  • Best RAID setup for MSI Z77A-G43

    I currently have my desktop set up with an SSD as C: and 2 x 1TB HDD as D: in a RAID 1 configuration.
    I'd like to add a second SSD to increase capacity of my C: drive. Ideally I'd like to set both SSDs at RAID 0. Would this be possible without having to rebuild the OS? Alternatively, could I configure them as JBOD without affecting the current installation?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    David.

    don't think so, you have to combine them both and format after that before use it
