K7D Master and dual xp 2400's

Im running a K7D master with xp2400 , except its only letting me use one , can someone clarify that the bored can infact run dual xp chips . And yes i have tried turnning off the bios id multiprocessor capabilitys and updateing the bios and still nothing.

you have to unlock SMP the CPU. The bios says it can unlock SMP. Did not worked to me. see

MSI K7D Master AMD Dual Athlon MP

OK so I've completed my first Dual Athlon and I'm getting some varied results. here's the specs:
MSI K7D Master AMD Dual Athlon MP Motherboard ATX
Dual 2400+
Antec 350W
various NVIDIA video cards
Kingston 266/512 64X64 DDR
I first tried a Wildcat 5110 but got no video, 3DLabs tells me this mobo has not been tested and cleared by them, so heads-up don't go with this mobo/video combo.
I went to NVIDIA and got video, I set the system jumper to 133MHz. I got a RAM error, change sticks (I have several of the same kind) but get the same result. After several attempts the machine boots and I install WinXP.
Now it is hit and miss sometimes I get the RAM error and the machine just sits there, sometimes it boots but the mouse doesn't work other times it seems to boot fine but the programs (3D Studio Max / Brazil) will just quit for no apparent reason. I set the BIOS to to check the RAM on start-up, it finds no errors.
I really appreciate hearing any ides or from anyone who has attempted this sort of thing before.

Very cool thank you.
Well I got a call back from MSI customer service, they said try going to 'Advanced chipset' and change the 'AGP Fastload' from whatever it is to the opposite state (enable vs disable) I think the default is enable. I tried that, but it was the same if not worse. I reset the BIOS, set the fsb to 100MHz flipped the 'AGP Fastload' and that, of all things worked. Giving credit to the cs department - it did not work without changeing the Fastload state.
I got the 3DS Max/serverrunning and here are some statistics:
Rendered with Brazil, tons pf polygons, reflection and refraction.
Athlon 2500XP (non-Barton) 1gig unbuffered MSI KM4M:
3 hours 15 minutes per frame.
Intel P4 2.4 533MHz fsb 1 gig unbuffered MSI 845GE (northwood)
2 hours 54 minutes minutes per frame.
K7D Master 100Mhz fsb (non-Barton) 1gig unbuffered value ram.
1 hour 15 minutes per frame.
I will try the ecc registered RAM next week. If the results are this good with the jumper set to 100MHz I really looking forward to checking out the 133MHz...
Any suggestions on brand/configuration ?

[nVidia] "K7D master" and "AMD Sempron3000+"

I got a "MSI K7D master-L" mainboard. with uppdated Bios. It's a "dual cpu" mainboard, with only one (1) "AMD Sempron 3000+" cpu.
I have tried everything, but can't get my Cpu to go faster than 1800Mhz. What am i doing Wrong ?
Annyone have a good advice for me?

The board that you're using is for server systems. These mobo's doesnt have overclocking potencial and options cause of the need for stability.
So don't try pushing it. Your board may be like this

MSI K7D MAster and ram?

I have a MSI K7D Master motherboard, with dual athlon mp2200+, i had 2 sticks of unbuffered 256mb PC2100 ddr in the 1st two slots all thsi while, and last week i got 4 sticks of 256mb PC2100 DDR ECC-Registered ram, and when i put all four in, and boot up, i get a beep sound and the system wotnt boot. when i remove the sticks from slot 3 and 4, and boot up it works. anyone know the problem here? All the sticks work, i have put every single one in slots 1 and 2 to test. and help would be appreciated.
thanks

i se 2 things.
1.
psu 18a 12v is weak for 2 cpu's if it runs them from 12v line.
if it does i do not know.
2.
pc2100 memory.
i bet those cpu uses 166fsb so yuo cant run fsb / dram ratio 1:1.
can cause instability on atleast k7n2.
try to get some pc2700 memory to test with.
some stores will give you a refund if the memlry dont wornk so check first.

K7D Master and Adaptec 2100S RAID not working

I have the K7D Master with 2 AMD 1900+ MP cpu's and 1 GB RAM. I can not get the Adaptec 2100S RAID SCSI card to work with this mainboard. I have taken out all of my PCI cards, and I have tried to place the 2100S in all of the PCI ports, but the card will not work. It seems that the bios of the K7D do not like the bios of the Adaptec card. The Adaptec works fine with the K7NPro motherboard, so it is nothing wrong with the card. I have just bought 2 x 15.000 rpm scsi disks, and I was really looking forward in having SCSI RAID with this excellent motherboard.
Does anybody have the same problem, or does anyone have a solution - it will be highly appreciated.

I am using anAdaptec 29160N with 3 scsi drives and this works like a charm. It is just the Adaptec 2100S which doesn't work, and the problem is related to the AGP port. I tried to remove my AGP card and installed a PCI video card - then suddenly the 2100S worked. It was assigned an IRQ and I could also get inside the bios/menu of the card.
I therefore decided to test different AGP cards - I tried Creative Banshee (3DFX chip), Creative GeForce 2 Ultra, Leadtek GeForce 3 Ti 500 and 3DFX Voodoo 3. The Adaptec card would not boot no matter what AGP card I tried. The machine hangs when the bios of the Adaptec is showing. I then tried 3 different PCI video cards (Geforce 2MX, ATI Rage3D and Matrox), and the 2100S worked with all of them.
So it seems that the Adaptec 2100S will not boot (hangs during bios message) as long as the AGP port is being used on the k7D - the question is: can MSI come up with a new bios that resolves this problem or do I have to live without my 2100S ?

K7D Master and the onboard audio.

Hello, Im new here but not new to the PC scene. I just purchased the above mentioned mobo for my game/file server and its running fantastic. But I cant get the ac97amd.inf file to install correctly. I cant get the onboard audio working at all, I install the exe installer and reboot when asked. Apon reboot the sound card still isnt installed and I cant find that inf file anywhere on the pc at all. I saw this mentioned once on these forums from doing a search but there was no clear answer as too how the person got it working.
Ill list the specs below:
2 AMD MP 2200+
1 MSI K7D Master mobo
1gb of PC2700 DDR ECC Samsung Ram
1 WD 8mb 40gb HD for the O/S
1 Maxtor 8mb 120gb for files (on promise card)
1 Maxtor 8mb 80gb HD for games (on promise card)
1 Promise ata/133 PCI controller card
1 Lite On 54x CDROM
1 GF2mx 200 video card
400w Antec PSU
So is there a trick to getting this working? I have tried the supplied driver on the cd, 1 from msi's website & 1 from amd's website w/ none of them working at all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My on-board sound works fine...but i have it disabled for obvious reasons, (better audio via a sound card). I cant recall how I installed it, but it may need to be installed in a specific order like chipset then audio then whatever else...i cant remember but i know i had no problem at all installing it. Check out the manual, i know it has info on installing drivers in there.

K7D master and sound on Windows 2003?

Does anybody know if Windows Server 2003 can work with the AC97 sound on the K7D Master? With Windows 2000 it sure works, but in WS03 I cannot find the right driver to get rid of the message in de Device Manager that it has no driver for the Multimedia Audio Controller.
The latest Windows 2000 driver for the 768 chip/AC97 installs but to no avail. Neither using the original CD.

no I would get a PCI/USB alternative like thats avaliable to you.

K7D Master hangs

Motherboard: MSI K7D Master (6501)
BIOS: 1.8B2
Processor: 2 x AMD Athlon MP 2400+
RAM: 2 x 1GB DDR266 Registered ECC (Kingston)
I'm building a system with a K7D Master, and the system freezes
(hangs) when installing/running Windows 2003 Server. All components
have been replaced/removed during the troubleshooting (RAM, video
card, RAID controller, HDD, NIC and power supply).
One consistent way to reproduce the problem is to start the
installation of Windows 2003 Server from the CD, choose a HDD to
install and select "NTFS quick format". The next progress bar jumps to
20% and the system hangs.
I also have tried with Windows 2000, but the problem continues.
The problem goes away if we we lower the FSB from 133MHZ to 100MHz via
the JFSB1 jumper. The problem also does not exist of we run the system
with only one CPU.
Any idea what could be causing the problem?

Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried with a new PSU (400W) that has been tested with another dual Athlon motherboard (not the MSI one). The same problem.

K7D Master Vcore CPU2 = 2.5 !!!

Help! I have a K7D master motherboard, dual MP 2000+ processors. CPU1 Vcore is set to about 1.6, and CPU2 is at 2.5.
CPU1 running at 45 degrees C, but CPU2 runs very hot, 67 degrees C at last check. How do I lower it?
FSB = 133, and I haven't done anything to overclock. Both CPUs running at 1667 MHz
Award Bios 6.0
ANy help appreciated

Cooling is probably the most important aspect of overclocking. Overclocking causes circuits to cycle faster, generating more heat. If the CPU is not cooled properly, your CPU will not run reliably and there is a very good chance that you will permanently damage your CPU.
The heat sink and fan unit that Intel and AMD ship with its CPU are fairy good. However, for maximum stability, we need to get something better than that. For example, for CPU fans, we have Vantec Tornado, Thermaltake volcano 7+, CoolerMaster Aero 4 and Zalman CNPS7000A-AlCu etc.
Be sure that the cooling solution you choose is specifically designed for your processor. Improperly mounting a heat sink, using the wrong model can damage your processor.
Also, the airflow in the case is very important. If heat cannot escape the case, the CPU is still at risk. Thus, more case fans are needed apart from the power supply's exhaust fan. Tidying up the cables inside the case can help too. In addition, clearing the dust in the case by using canned compressed air can enhance the airflow but never use vacuum cleaner as it may generate electrostatic and harm the IC components.

K7D Master multiplier over 12.5?

I'm just about to get my ordered K7D Master (hopefully L version - depends if they can get it) today or tomorrow and I'm wondering if the multiplier will go higher than 12.5 and if the limitation is due to hardware or bios. I'm assuming a bios update will fix it as user Mr. Heat (also saw him at http://www.2cpu.com) is using 2100 or 2200 MP's cpu's (13X multiplier) which work automatically but he wasn't able to change the multiplier even with unlocked MP cpu's.
So... my question is: Can the K7D Master run future MP 2400 or MP 2600 or XP 2400, etc cpu's without problems? ?(
On a side note, is software IDE raid easier to setup with XP than 2k? (will probably get XP with new mobo)
Mr. Heat Are you running XP or win2k for stability?

Hi, I checked the K7D Master CPU Support Status web page and Athlon MP 2200+ is listed, but I can't install windows 2k or windows xp, stop errors and blue screens appear during the instalation process.
Is there any bios configuration specially for this processors?
When is going to be released the next version of bios?
I had to downgrade the bios to 1.3 version and only windows 2k works, but it detects the 2 processors as Athlon XP.
Thanks in advance ...
My configuration:
2 Athlon MP 2200+
1.5 gb PC2100 ECC

K7D Master very slow PCI/Raid

I have a K7D Master with latest firmware. I am trying to setup a Adaptec 2410SA raid controller (3 Raptor 10k drives) and am finding it very slow. It benchmarks with a RAID 0 array at 30MB/s. I have also tried Highpoint 1640 with the same results. I have tried a second K7D master board and it shows the same results.
From what I can tell it seems to be the PCI bus is slow. I have tried both 33 and 66MHz cards but always can get no more then about 30MB/s out of my Raid controller. If I use the inbulit IDE I can get over 40MB/s with a single drive.
I have tried adjusting the PCI latency but made not difference. Does anyone have any ideas?

K7D Master CPU Question

Hello
I have a K7D Master with dual 2100+ CPUs, 1GB ram, BIOS v1.82. It started having problems so I sent it back to MSI for repair. When I got it back and started to put it together I noticed that I damaged one of the processors. I looked on pricewatch and saw that a new 2800+ is only $40 more then a 2100+. Can I run the board with a 2800+ in the primary socket and the other 2100+ in the secondary socket. If so, I assume that they will run no faster then the 2100+, however, I would upgrade the other 2100 shortly after. I have to pay tuition this month so I can't buy both 28's right now.
Also I tried to run the board with the one good processor in the primary socket but the computer won't boot. Does any one know why this would happen?
Thanks
Scott

MSI K7D / K7D-L and tekram SCSI card

Anyone get the above combination to work?
I've tried a Tekram DC390F in a K7D Master and a DC395UW in a K7D-L Maater and both times I've had to remove the Tekram BIOS chip to get the motherboards to boot.
Anyone know if the Award BIOS on the K7D/-L Master contains code to control a SCSI card (in particular NCR or Symbios chip based cards)
Cheers
phich

this is very interesting. i have a Tekram DC-390U3W in my main workstation and bought an LSI U160 for this server. When I realized the Tekram could run at 66mhz, I thought I'd move it over to the server and use the LSI in my Abit board instead.
COULD NOT, for ANYTHING, get the Tekram to work in my new K7D Master. Interestingly, the LSI works just fine, but the weird thing is, they have the EXACT same controller chip - 53C1010. Doesn't make any sense to me, but finally I just gave up.
if you made any headway on this, I'd love to hear about it.

RAM type for MSI K7D Master?

Hello,
I am looking to purchase the K7D Master and I was wondering what kind of RAM to purchase for it. Can I use PC2700 DDR or will that just waste my money considering the clock speed of the board is 266MHz and the clock speed of PC2700 is 333MHz.
TIA
Axle

I just read in this thread that someone made the XMS memory work in the K7D Master L. Check out this thread:K7D Master L MPX boot issue
Too bad I did not know how to make it work 4 weeks ago... ;(

K7D Master Problem

Hello all, I just purchased a K7D Master and 2 MP1800s. I cannot get the system to boot. The speaker emits a never ending click click click click and the D-LED shows all red, which the manual states, "The D-LED will hang here if the processor is damaged or not installed properly." I have tried both cpus by themselves in the primary cpu socket, and an XP 2100+ I had sitting here. All three processors work in other systems. I've cleared the CMOS multiple times, tried two different power supplies (Antec 350w, and a Thermaltake 480w), and in and out of a case. Any other things I should try?
Thanks,
Oldbenwa

Hi,
Probably a stupid suggestion but:

Sounds like a stuck keyboard key! Dodgy keyboard perhaps! Well I'll give myself 10/10 for effort and 0/10 for helpfulness!
Sorry that's all I could think of!
Hi, I don't know much of your server board, but does it have a FSB jumper (SAFE/USER)? If it does, set to SAFE before clearing CMOS! Make sure you also completely Isolated (unplug it) from the mains supply while clearing!
