K7N2 Delta ILSR SATA Performance Questions

hello
does anyone know if there are drivers that will increase performance?  i just got a WD Raptor and ran a benchmark and it runs at 47 MB/s.  shouldnt i be able to get almost 150 MB/s ?
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

as i said no drive exists that moves data that fast
they will all shift the 2 or 8 mb they have cached at the full bus speed
after that they get no were near it
there is nothing wrong with that result
but sandras not a good benchmark for drives

  • K7n2 delti Ilsr Bios update question

    Well bios updates fix these ram issues? I have Kingston hyperx 3500, was on the ok list for ram, dont thank it is now.  ;(

    Yes, I did mean the CPU.  Corrected it now .......
    Thanks, I've done that and it's now showing 1800.  Much easier than updating the BIOS.
    My temperatures have gone up a bit, though.  CPU is now 47C (was 44C) and system is 37C (was 35C) in PCAlert4, and I'm only on the net and playing mp3s, so it's not exactly hard load!!.  Is this OK?  I really worry about overheating since my old mobo was unstable at lower system temps than this.

  • K7n2 Delta Ilsr + Sata!!!

    I have bought a nice sata hd: seagate 120 gig, but i don't know how to boot it....
    I used fastbuild, but me sata drive only appears in windows and i wan't to boot windows from it, but in the bios i see no options for sata  
    so I wondered if anybody knew how to use sata with this mainboard i would be very happy!

  • About K7N2 Delta-ILSR SATA

    I am already used up all the PATA/ide connector (for 2 optical drive, and 3 HD), and want to add a new HD...
    Soo i am want to use the two idle SATA connector on my motherboard, the problem is: I don't need the RAID function, just plain SATA HD
    is that possible?...i read the manual said it only for raid, and i don't want to make a wrong HD purchase(cause RMA can be pain in my ass in my condition)

    Quote from: mechwookie on 09-September-05, 16:15:12
    Like you want to, i've just started using my SATA connections.
    You have to use it as RAID, theres no way around it. However, how you set it up is down to you. Raid 0/1 whatever.
    Can't answer anything myself with regard to just using the the SATA's for another set of storage would be worth it in the long run or not, but will say this, Installing on the SATA's take a lil less time than using a standard IDE drive (just ya basic 7200rpm SATA, not the 10k Raptors which some say can install XP in under 20mins)
    Will say this, just what are you planning to use the drives for? And can you post a sig with all you system details in it, including you ram make, and PSU voltage rails current capacity (that last bit is kinda compulsory when it comes to this forum  )
    Soo there no other ways heh...maybe i suppose just swamp one of the old HD (40gigs) with the new one(200GB likely)
    THe new drives should be just another generic volume aka not for installing OS...because the old ones getting full AGA!N...
    Haven't i post all the details in my sig?...ow the rail capacity are:
    Vcore 1.63-1.7,
    3.3v=3.3-3.4,
    5V= 5-5.1,
    12V= 11.4-11.70
    I think it still OK just +- 5% from the real voltage.........

  • [nForce] K7N2 Delta ILSR - Do i have to have raid with sata drive

    Hi guys,
    Probably a really stupid question, but here goes
    My machine has 1 ide HDD and 1 SATA HDD.
    The SATA drive is set up as raid0 and is purely used as a data disk. The OS(win xp pro sp1) is on the IDE drive
    The only way i could get the SATA HDD recognised by windows, was to set up a raid array with just the 1 disk.
    Pretty useless raid array i know.
    Did i have to do this or is there a way to have the sata hdd usable without having to set up a raid array
    Thanks

    you have to do it for the controller to work
    but it has no effect on the drive
    you can move a regular drive on ide 3 back to a normal ide and its all fine

  • Sata boot with K7N2 Delta-ILSR

    I have a K7N2 Delta-ILSR board and can't load the os to the sata drives. Both drives are new and raid 0. The load sees no drives and the raid drives don't show in the boot device menu in the bios. What have I missed? Is this possable?
    Thanks for any help,
    Mike

    so you made the array control plus f i assume
    have you set scsi second to cdrom
    then hit f6 as xp install starts
    and feed in drivers

  • Questions about K7N2 Delta-ILSR

     I am planning to buy a K7N2 Delta-ILSR  motherboard, so I have a few questions  about it.
     Firstly, I would like to know which the max FSB the motherboard can handle is. )
     Secondly, which are the available multiplier numbers?
     Furthermore, i would like to know if the K7N2 Delta-ILSR version has standard the MCP2-T chip. In advance I would like to know, if it supports the SoundstormTM technology
     Thanks

    madsteeve1,
    1) I have seen people running over 425Mhz.
    2) Download the manual and check the BIOS Revisions for that answer
    3) The -ILSR Boards have Soundstorm.

  • G4Ti4200-VTD64 voltage incompatibility with MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR??

    Hello,
        I have the MSI G4Ti4200-VTD64 (4X) video card..  I want to upgrade my motherboard to K7N2 Delta-ILSR. Is there any voltage incompatibility?? I heard that new mother boards will support only AGP 1.5V. Is the AGP voltage of K7N2 Delta-ILSR 1.5volts??  Is my video card compatible with this voltage?? I really want to retain my current video card as I am quite satisfied with it and I'm not willing to invest on a new one at the moment. If there is an incompatibility could you suggest another Socket A MB with good performance and SATA RAID support.
    Thanks in advance

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • HELP me with my K7N2 delta ilsr

    Can anyone help me with this problem. I have just upgraded to MSI's K7N2 delta ilsr motherboard. Its all working quite well apart from the fact that the pc wont start up from cold....at all.
    When I start the pc from an off state, it runs up the fans and drives, but does not post.
    The diagnostic led pannel on the back of the pc shows that the cpu is faulty or not installed correctly.
    If I then press the reset button, the pc posts, and boots up just fine.
    It does this EVERY time I start up.
    I have tried re installing the cpu, which is an XP 2800+ 333 barton, but to no avail.
    I have asked a few questions on other forums, but I cant solve it.
    These are the suggestions so far.
    1. the psu (I have a Tsunami 400 atx psu) could not be giving out enough power on initial startup, but once the pc is running, it has enough to boot the pc from a reset.
    2. The mobo or the bios could be at fault. I have not flashed the bios, or upgraded it in any way from original, so is there an issue with the original bios on these boards, and 2800 barton chips??? Could it be a mobo fault? The pc runs fine once the machine is booted.? how do I test it?
    3. The cpu could be faulty? but would this not stop it running fuull stop?
    4. my ram. I have a single stick of OCZ 512mb pc3200 ddr, which I was told would make the pc fly. Not shure on that statement, but is this ram compatible?? could this be the problem?
    Im fairly new to the upgrade side of things, and I need some help with this one.
    Also, Id be really greatfull if some one could talk me through flashing my bios to the latest version, as the thought of doing this narks me a bit...I dont want to mess it up and get a dead pc...
    HELP

    +3.3v 14A

    +12v 16A

  • MSI K8T Neo2 F vs. MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR

    Hi there !
    I have an amd Athlon XP 3200+ overheating problem, and contacted the technical support of the shop where the processor and CPU was coming from.
    Since they do not have any XP 3200+ to replace mine, they propose me to replace fro free :
    - the XP 3200+ by an AMD Athlon 64 3200+
    - my actual MSI K7N2 delta ILSR by an MSI K8T Neo2 F
    ... and this for free.
    Since I do not know this new motherboard that has been proposed, I'd like to have advice on if this is a good deal ?!?
    My actual system has :
    - an Aluminium case with 2x 12cm FAN's
    - 2 IDE hard drives
    - 1 SATA hard drive
    - TWINX Corsair XMS 2x256MB PC 3200L (Extreme low latency)
    - an AGP 8x video card
    - An Antec True Power 480W.
    will the new motherboard fit with this configuration?
    Many thanks for your input !

    Not really, unless you really want to oc your cpu. The K8T boards aren't that good in OC-ing. But still, some is possible and you'll be sure that the board is as steady as a rock.
    For a moment I thought you were talking about a Neo board ... but I just saw it's a Neo2. That means Socket 939 -> dual channel RAM.
    The only risk you have now, is that your RAM won't work in dual channel with the CPU. But that's not really a board-problem, more a CPU/RAM-controller related problem. But then, it's still a great offer and chances are good that it will work. If you run into any trouble, RAM-related, just flash bios to version 1.9 and you will probably be just fine.

  • Msi k7n2 delta ilsr problem

    hi i have this configuration on my pc:
    antec true control 550 watts
    msi k7n2 delta ilsr
    kingston hyper x pc3700 2x512 mb
    athlon xp 3200+
    seagate 120 gb sata 7200.7 hd
    ati radeon 9800 pro excalibur ice q
    i have 2 problems : the first one is that sometimes windows display me a blue screen with certain problem related to ati2dg.dll i think that problem is beacause the video card so i decided to update the bios , in the live update page from msi says that the bios 7.6 fix a bug with ati vga cards but after flashing and updating to bios v7.6 that blue screen with the same error still appearing so i dont know what else to do to solve the problem and the second one is that when i start any game or make the processor to work a little mostly related with video stuff the case speaker start to beep and the pc lags until he restarts with no reason i really dont know why if u can help me thank you

    Foxtrotccs,
    In the BIOS try setting the AGP to 4X and disable Sidebanding. Then set the AGP Apeture to 256. See if that helps.
    Make sure you are running the lastest   nVidia nForce Drivers and the latest ATI Catalyst Drivers
    Take Care,
    Richard
    P.S. There is still a possibility that the Kingston RAM is the problem.

  • MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR Memory problems

    I'm trying to burn in a system in a 50 deg C (122 deg F) room for a minimum of 12 hours.  The main system components are as follows:
    Motherboard:  MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR
    CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2800+
    Memory: 2x512 OCZ PC3200 EL
    My problem is that the burn-in software continues to freeze up during the memory test.  I've already contacted the software manufacturers and the software is stable.  It's a problem with the way the motherboard handles the memory.  I've tried putting the memory in dual channel configuration and changing the timing settings in the BIOS.  The SPD settings are 2.5-3-3-7.  Right now I have them at 3-4-3-8.  It's a lot more stable than it was under the default settings but it still freezes up sometime after 7 hours.  Unfortunately, I wasn't around when it froze so I don't know exactly how long it lasted.  I can say that after 7 hours, it wasn't showing any slowdown in performance.  If anyone could think of anything else I might be able to do to get the system stable, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks for the suggestions.  The CPU FSB is 200, so it's already matched up there.  And we have a ton of fans already.  There are two in the front, 4 inside and 1 on the back.  It's a custom case, 2u high.  The power supply is oversized and more than adequate to provide the required power.  I have four of these units running right now.  Two with 2x512 sticks and two with 1x1024 sticks.  For each combination, the memory clock speed for one is 166 and 200 for the other.  I have been loosening up the memory timings trying to get the system stable, but it still isn't.  If the power supply is good, and I'm unable to cool the system anymore due to limititions within the case, is there anything you can think of to stabilize the system.  Maybe other settings in the BIOS or suggestions on how to go about getting good timings for the memory.  Thanks.

  • MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR - RAID BIOS Option ???

    hi ho,
    i have my 2 storage devices pluged into the promise 376 onboard controller. they are not connected as a real raid (not mirror nor real stripe). my OS is win2k on the first sata device and everything was fine for a long time.
    but now when my system boots, it detects the ide drives and then i see the irq board.
    right after that the system stops and tells me 'disk boot failure'. so i don`t get the chance to configure my raidcontroller or my sata devices.
    it is as the controller is deactivated. i remember a bios version where you could activate and deactivate the sata controller. but in my bios (right now it is v7.8) there is no such option.
    i have tested so far:
    - reset cmos
    - flash bios v7.5 to 7.8
    - disconnected sata drives
    anyone with similar problems or any suggestion?

    watch the bottom of the screen after pressing Enter on the "Welcome to Setup" screen. There will be some moments of files being loaded, and then you should see a message appear which says "Press F6 if you need to install a 3rd party SCSI or RAID driver". This message will only stay on the screen for a couple of seconds, so press F6 as soon as you see it appear. After this is done, you will see other messages appear, and it will act as though nothing is happening, but eventually a screen will appear which will allow you to install the drivers for the sata controller.
    specify a device press S, select "win 2000 promise fasttrak 376 controller" it will read floppy and load, dot not remove floppy yet, continue win2000 install it may nead to access floppy to finish installing raid driver, did you do it like this.
    try making some floppy boot disks and boot to floppy instead of cd.
    http://freepctech.com/pc/002/files010.shtml
    when you say there not listed, where did you see this? they wont be listed, windows will search for fasttrak controller so it will see sata's conected to it with out you knowing, so long as you load the controller from floppy that came with mobo as above.

Maybe you are looking for
