K7N2 Delta-L and Sempron 2600

Just upgraded my old palomino XP 2000+ with a Sempron 2600+ .
The thing is that nothing changed in the system except the cpu but now my agp slot is off (no current through it, the gfx card's fan won't work, hence the card itself). NOTE: i've upgraded my bios to support the sempron cpu

This thread has been locked, please refer to this thread K7N2 Delta-L / Sempron / AGP not working ?

Jumper Settings for K7N2 Delta LISR and Athlon 3200 FSB400

Hello Everyone,
(I think I sent this to Raven By E-Mail but I'm not sure, I'm still new to this)
Having problems understanding jumper settings.
I cheched out the forum and the motherboard users guide to see which way the jumpers are set for my Board K7N2 LISR + Athlon 3200+ 400FSB.
In the user guide it say's:-
FSB Mode Jumper: J10
This jumper allows you to set the CPU FSB mode, (It then shows two diagrams of Jumper 10) - first with pins 1 and 2 jumpered "user mode default 133Mhz" and the secound shows pins 2 and 3 jumpered "safe mode 100Mhz".
What has settings 133Mhz or 100Mhz got to do with a 400 FSB??????
CPU FSB Frequency Jumper: J11
This jumper is used to specify the CPU FSB frequency. (again it shows two Diagrams) first: Leave the jumper short connected if a 133/166Mhz FSB is installed.
Secound:If the CPU supports 100Mhz FSB, leave the jumper open connected.
To use a 200Mhz FSB CPU, set the jumper short connected and enter BIOS setup Utility to adjust the CPU FSB Clock Frequency.
Again what has 133/166Mhz or 100Mhz got to do with a 400 FSB???????
For my K7N2 Delta LISR and Athlon Barton 3200+ 400 FSB, what Would I set J10 to:- (Jumpered Pins 1 and 2,= 133Mhz) or (Jumpered 2 and 3,= 100Mhz).
Also what would I set J11 to:- (Jumper pins Open = 100Mhz) or (Jumper short 133/166Mhz). Hope someone can help!!!!!!!!!
It would be nice if the User's Guide had a (If .... Then..... in it)
If CPU = Athlon 2800+ 333 FSB, Then J10 is jumpered pins 1 and 2,
If CPU = Athlon.... etc etc.... or even a couple of examples
Sorry this is so long, but I just need to tell someone, Thanks.

1 insafe mode it will boot at 100 fsb regardless of what you set in the bios
in user it will boot by what it sees the cpu as or what you set it to in the bios
just leave it in user
if you o/c and it will not boot shut down put it in safe
then lower the o/c once it boots
again shut down and put it back in user
2 just leave it shorted
only alter it if you used a 100 fsb cpu

Please, Help!... K7n2 Delta L And Temp...

well, i´ve a K7N2 DELTA L and noticed that the processor temp., since it began to work, two days ago, is around 47 ~ 51°C in idle mode.... and when i play any game, just like Call of Duty, or RTCW Enemy Territory, it stays around 56 ~ 62°C... is it okay or too hot... I see it in PC ALERT 4....
Please, help!

I get the exact same temperatures, 60'C max load though. I don't see it as a problem since I live in Greece and right now the temperature outside is a good 40'C ! During the winter the temps (cpu, case and outside ) drop a lot (don't know how much since I only built my system about a month ago).
For me, under these circumstances, the best cooling option if I want to further drop my temps, is turn on the airconditioner in my room !

MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR and Mushkin

Does anyone know if the MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR has any issues with Mushkin ram. Specifically, with Mushkin PC3200 2-2-2? I previously had Mushkin PC2100 2-2-2 in it with no issues, but that was on a 266 FSB. On a 400 FSB, there may be issues. I dont know.

I did a little troubleshooting on my own and learned some things. I borrowed my neighbors computer (athlon xp 2600+ (266) on an asus A7N8X-E Deluxe with 2 512 meg sticks of Mushkin PC2100 2-2-2 ram). This computer has a generic 300 watt power supply, so you have to take this into account after seeing the results. First I ran prime95 on his machine and it ran rock solid. I substituted my PC3200 memory in his machine, and first ran it at 266 with no errors. Then I bumped the memory up to 333 and I got an error after 1 hour 17 minutes. Then I bumped the memory up to 400 and couldnt get past 10 minutes without an error.
I then put my proc and his memory in his computer, and my proc ran stable, and I didnt get any of the rebooting that I was getting in my machine. When I put my memory in his machine with my proc, I get about the same results as with his proc.
When I put my proc in my machine with his PC2100 memory, I still got some rebooting. When I substituted my PC3200 memory in, I still got the rebooting.
I then underclocked my processor down from 200 mhz bus to 191, and kept the ratio at 1:1 for memory, and still got some rebooting.
I then changed the ratio to 6:5, so the bus is now 159. The timings are at 5-2-2-2. The computer is running very stable and goes through prime95 with no errors.
I can put my proc and ram in my neighbors computer and get no rebooting, whereas in mine it wont stop rebooting when I have it set to spec. It looks like I have to change my mobo and/or my PSU. My PSU is an Enermax 431 watt and I have never heard of an Enermax going bad. That makes me suspect the mobo a little more, but I dont really know.
I will continue to experiment with bus speeds, ratios, and timings to see if I can get any more out of this system. But at least it is running OK now.

Problem with K7N2Delta2 LSR and Sempron 2800+

Well.., yesterday at friends house, i decieded to push more my overclock (Stable was 200x11, 1.75v vCore), so i started playing around..., got the vCore to 1.8, the PC to 225x11 with rams running at aprox 110mhz (cant remember 100%, since they wouldnt run at 225), so... it booted up, i was on windows happy, transfering some files over lan, and decieded to burn a dvd..., now when that dvd was at about a 52% pc got stuck..., brrp..., i reseted it assuming it just wasnt stable..., but after that reset it wouldnt EVEN show the Bios windows (not the bios setup, but when its detecting ide, it shows your ram, procesor etc), i said [content edited]!!!, of course i proceded to Clear CMOS, but nothing happened..., as far as i know this mobo got a very strange way to reset the FSB, and its starting the pc while you pressing the key "Insert", it worked a few times when the FSB was at 210, 215, 220, (with rams @ 1:1), and it reseted just fine..., but this time it wont...
After some hours, and over my house, i started playing around trying to make it boot, and it booted once..., but i reseted to plug all back in (Ide, Sata, etc), and it wouldnt boot up again ><..., i removed Sata, Ide, and everything i plugged in and nothing..., last night i removed the jumper, the battery and disconnected the pc from the Energy source, and nothing this morning...., im really out of ideas, some people think its a Corrupt Bios, other thinks Procesor is gone, but i dunno what to think..., im thinking on flashing the bios on a friends house (who got same mobo), but i wanna be 100% sure of what the [content edited] i can be...

Dom?

"...On 12v i got 12.3, on 5v i got 5.2, and i don't know the other..." You were asked about the AMPS that P.Su. gives to 3.3v. 5v. and 12v. rails, not about the voltage, that is almost the same in every P.Su. You'll find it printed on P.Su. side. And please, read carefully what the people trying to help, is asking you, so you can answer what is asked, and not other things.
"...the PC to 225x11 with rams running at aprox 110mhz..." Do you consider this runing 1:1 ?
"...but im pretty sure that one night without battery and connected to no PSU would discharge it no? No. The power that remains on the system could be enough to give power to Bios during a night.

MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR and Serial ATA Drive

I've got a very strange problem....
Yesterday i have installed my new motherboard (MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR) but i have a problem with the SATA feature.
I've got two drives : one 40GB ATA (Western Digital) and one 160GB SATA also from Western Digital.
My SATA drive is recognized by the FastTrak BIOS (v2) but i'm unable to reinstall Windows XP Professional (with SP2 Slipstreamed) because Windows Setup didn't recognize the SATA disk. I have loaded the Promise Serial ATA Drivers at the begin of the installation (F6)...
I have also tried 2 different versions of the Promise SATA Drivers; the one that cames with my motherboard CD, and the most recent from the MSI website. But with both drivers the same result. How can i get my Serial ATA Harddisk get work with this motherboard?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Computerfreakje.
PS : My specifications are the following:
MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR (Rev. 7.4)
AMD Athlon XP 2500+
2x 256MB Kingston PC3200 Dual Channel
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb (R360)
Western Digital 40GB ATA
Western Digital 160GB SATA

Thanks for your reply Richard,
My motherboard didn't came with a floppy (I have bought an bulk version..) I have created a SATA floppy by myself. (I have got the drivers from the motherboard cd..) These drivers are also good, right?
Which type of RAID Array should i create? Because i have only one SATA drive.....
I think the "auto" feature is the easiest way?
Thanks.

K7N2 Delta ISLR and XP3200 Woes

Let me share some of my experience with random crashes and lock ups on my main system.
Hopefully some might find it helpful and others might have useful comments to add.
It all started when I decided to upgrade my system. I waited until new technology was announced and then went out and bought the hardware that was knocked off the top spot.
My current system is:
Althon XP3200 Barton
1Gig PC3200 (2x512M)
K7N2 Delta ISLR Bios 7.7
Radeon 9700pro
Antec TruePower 550W PSU
XP Professional
SATA 120G Barracuda
When I first assembled the system I could not, and still cannot, get it to run stable as a XP3200 with a FSB of 200MHz (400MHz) and the memory in dual channel mode. The system wouldn’t boot, would randomly crash, would come up with fatal XP errors.
So after consulting the message boards I was informed it was probably be down to two causes; a inadequate power supply or overheating.
That is when I went out and bought the Antec TruePower 550W PSU. The reason being the CPU temperature was around 47C - 52C (107F - 115F) with ambient around 35C (88F). Not too hot I thought.
Anyway this did not solve the problem so I then decided to change the CPU coolers. I now have a nice collection, Alaska, Aero, Gigabyte and others. Current one on order is SLK-900A with a delta FFB0912EHE fan. But again this did not solve the problem.
I then thought that maybe the ambient inside temperature was too high and therefore pushing the CPU temperature up. To solve this I fitted two hard-drive fans, four 80mm case fans and a PCI exhaust fan. This was on top of the 3 fans already in the system. Still the system would not run. I even took the side panel off and had a 6” mains fan blowing into the case. Still couldn’t make it stable.
I have just ordered a Thermaltake Wingo V8000A case.
So I decided to check out the XP3200 and memory. After playing around I found out that:
1. The memory is fine running dual channel at 400MHz. I ran memtest using my CPU and memory in a friends PC for 12 hours without any problems (Abit board).
2. The system is stable if I drop the FSB to the processor to 166MHz (333MHz). How I am currently run the machine.
3. The system was more stable if I ran the memory in single channel mode.
4. The point it becomes unstable is when the CPU FSB is 192MHz (384Mhz).
5. The problem occurs on another K7N2 Delta ISLR motherboard. Actually exactly the same problem running a different XP3200 and 1Gig.
I have tried all possible combinations in the bios, except Vcore, Vddim voltage levels. Which is my next step. I think I need to up the Vcore at higher frequencies as I believe it may be a bios /motherboard inherent problem.
I hope this might be helpful to some who are experiencing the sample problems.
Couple of things I don’t like about the mother generally a part from the fact I can’t set it up correctly.
1. The decoupling capacitors around the CPU socket are too close. This limits the choice of CPU coolers you can fit.
2. Motherboard components interfere / prevent you from fitting certain cards in the PCI slots. Such as the SPDF adapter that comes with the motherboard.
And does anyone know:
1. What is the maximum temperature I should be seeing for stable operation on a XP3200?
2. Any recommendations on another suitable motherboard? I basically spent all the money I had so if I can’t get it working I’ll bin the motherboard and buy another one.
Oh, why don't I run it at 333MHz? Well then I got a slower system than I started with and it means I admit defeat!

I have this same board with the same BIOS and am also using an Athlon XP 3200+ (with Corsair TWINX1024-3200C2 RAM) and had the same excruciating stability problems. I had tried/tested everything in sight and no stability. Then I found a posting in this forum made a few months back by WebFan (with an XP 3200+ and basically the same RAM), who said he had the same kind of problem. He had only achieved stability when he reduced the FSB setting to 192 MHz (obviously not a coincidence). (Thank you ever so much WebFan.) I reached the heaven of stability by making the same change. Then I started experimenting; I moved the bus speed to 193, still okay. I set the RAM settings to the 3-3-6 2.5 that Corsair says are stable, still okay.
Then, and this I believe is the key step, I installed the lastest set of chipset drivers from nVidia (not the older version provided by MSI). This change subjectively seemed to improve performance noticeably, so I decided to take the big plunge and return the FSB to the rated 200 MHz setting. It's only been three days, but STILL OKAY! Before setting the FSB to 192, I was having all kinds of blue-screen crashes numerous times a day. I haven't had a single one in ten days, three days running at the full 200 MHz.
It seems to me that the board/chipset were not tuned to handle the 3200+. If you look at the description of the board on the MSI global site, it says it's compatible with Athlon XP 3000+ and up. My guess is that only the lastest edition of the drivers, version 4.24/4.27, is up to the job. (I'm not interested in overclocking and so haven't been interested in seeing if I can do better than the rated 200 MHz setting [400 MHz DDR clock speed]. Leave well enough alone, if you ask me.)
Try them; you have nothing to lose but your instability.

K7N2 DELTA-ILSR AND DDR-RAM

I got K7N2 Delta-ILSR, the last bios version, and
2x256 twinmos pc3200 ram. The 50% of the times the computer startes without problems, but the other 50% it gets hang up when I start the computer and the "d-Leds" indicate:" the memory module is damaged or not installed properly".
I know that the ram-modules works, but not with this Motherboard.
I need to get new ram-modules.
Somebody have the K7N2 DELTA-ILSR, with ddr-ram that works ??? (not K7N2G- IL and ILSR)
[size=15]You can list this here, it will help a lot of people! [/SIZE]

If you'll look at the start of the forum you'll see an article "good memory choices" start there.If you don't want to spend the bucks buying new mem read this http://www.msi.com.tw/program/e_service/forum/index.php?threadid=20221&boardid=14

K7N2 Delta MS6570 and JUSB2 header.

I have a K7N2 Delta MS6570 Mobo and when I first obtained it I installed it into an Antec Sonata case. This has, among others, two USB sockets on the front. These can be connected by two sets of four separate connectors. I tried using these but found that, although the USB connectors on the front were recognized, a message followed stating there was a problem. I then decided to connect the supplied D-bracket and these worked with no problems. ( not bothered with Bluetooth) I then made further attempts to use the front connections but in spite of checking everything... no go. So I gave up as at that time I had no real use for front connections. Lately I find it would be more convienient to be able to use the front USB connections and have made further attempts but with no success.
I have noted that the manual on page 2-22 the JUSB2 header shows that pin 10 is for USBOC, which I believe is an over current pin but with negative logic.. ..???? When I use the front connections this pin is not connected and as far as I can see this is the only difference between front and D bracket.
I would be very grateful for any suggestions to overcome me problem. Many thanks.

I think I have now tried everything and this is the present position.
Using the front USB sockets fed from JUSB2 some USB devices will work OK, therefore assume connections are correct. However when I try the use a USB flash drive I get message "USB device not recognised". I have tried two devices with same results. If now change over to feeding the D-bracket from JUSB2 both USB flash drives work OK from there. They also work OK on another computer.
Why oh why is there a problem using the front US sockets with some USB devices?

K7N2 Delta ILSR and XP2500+ - strange overclocking problem

Relevant configuration data:
- K7N2 Delta ILSR (with 7.6 BIOS version)
- Barton 2500+ (AQXEA)
- Arctic Silver 3 thermal compound
- GlobalWin CAK 38 (7000 rpm DELTA, all copper)
- 2x512 MB Corsair XMS cmx512 3200c2 (it should run 6-3-3-2 at 200MHz on AMD systems according to older documents, and on 6-3-3-2.5 at 200MHz on AMD systems according to newer documents)
- PSU Enermax EG465P-VE (430W)
- Gigabyte ATI Radeon 9800Pro 128MB
- Battlefield 1942 game
I have 2 seperate problems:
1. When I try to set my proc on 13x166 (Barton XP3000+) BIOS won't recognise that settings and it gives me real-clock rate of 833MHz (and no name, just "Athlon XP"). Just a note, when I set proc to be XP2600 or XP2800, everything is great in BIOS and in real conditions (Windows, Battlefield). I had 7.4 version of BIOS and I tried with new 7.6 version and nothing has changed (as I suspected). Can someone help me about this ?
2. Second problem is a bit more serious.
I'm having problems setting my proc to work with 100% stability on 200MHz FSB speed.
This is what's going on:
- Behaviour in Windows is pretty much good (no random restarts).
- Sometimes (on rare occasions) blues screen appears when I'm in windows or some program. Last time when it appeared it said something about "memory managment". I tried to lower memory settings but nothing seemed to be better.
- If I try to freshly install windows on 200 MHz FSB in 98% of the cases installation will be abrupted (blue screen or resets) or it won't even start to install.
- What's bothering me the most is this: Battlefield 1942 is crashing on regular basis. Sometimes it can hold for 5 minutes, sometimes 20 minutes, sometimes half an hour. But on certain moment, puff, and I'm out in Windows. Not a computer restart, just it throws me on desktop.
I've been checking the temperature on regular basis when I'm playing. It is always low.
I've tried to raise core voltage all the way to 1.8v, but same thing happens.
I've tried to lower memory settings, but I get same BF crashing.
I don't know what else to do or what other component to acuse for instability.
Can somebody please help me ?
Thank you in advance !

Nope, because I am changing multiplyers without probs. The only multiplyer that doesn't work is 13x.

...loosen up your memory timings to add stability, and give it a try again at the 200 mhz fsb without changing the multiplier.
I drove the memory according to the Corsair's specs, and I drove it on lower settings also. No change.
Quote
also you may wish to go up to 2.7 volts for your ram, and 1.7 volts on your processor to add stability, remember sometimes you have to go up gradually a step or two at a time and keep it there for a day or two before you reach your top OC.
I might try upping ram voltage but that doesn't sound good, because it IS DDR 400 memory (an excellent one too !).
It's not like I'm trying to drive it over 200MHz. 200MHz is this memory's normal frequency.

Newest video driver from ATI may help with the stability on your gaming.
Already have newest drivers.
Anyway, thanks for the tips !

Operating temperatures of K7N2-Delta L and CPU

I was wondering what the temperature at which the motherboard cut power to the CPU was for a K7N2-Delta L?
Also, what are standard operating temperatures for an AMD Athalon XP 2200+?
Thanks

KM4M-L and sempron 2800+

hello, i'm new here....:P
the problem is that my board detect my sempron as a Sempron 1600 ghz and is suppose to be 2800+.... i made the last bios update but no luck :(
Mainboard Manufacturer MSI
Mainboard Model Name MS-6734
Mainboard BIOS Vendor Phoenix
Mainboard BIOS Version 1.70
thanks u....

its already 166 but the ddr still @ 333 :(
and my cousin told me he didnt find the hlck plus 33 on the bios
heres something i want to know just to don't left any curiosity :P~~
dram timing ---------auto by spd
manual
turbo
ultra
dram command rate - 2t command
dram burst length - 4
ddr voltage - 2.6 (i really want to know this, should he use more voltage for the ddr 400?
and the last one hope the final one hehe
(i don't remember if he told me this one was blue or changeable)
tras non-ddr400/ddr400 - 7t/10t (hehe maybe this one makes the trick)
my cousin also told me that he saw something about ddr 400 on one of those bios update...
well well thanks u very much for all your helpfull information man

KT6V and sempron 2800 problem

I have updated the bios to the latest version, but if i set the fsb to 166 the conputer fails as it starts to load windows, it doesnt display the correct information in post.
if i set it to 133 and run it as a 2300 (i think) it runs fine, but at 62c on idle!!!!!
any idea what may be going wrong here. i am going to do some more trouble shooting using my hardware which is kinda simliar, but i would rather not have to go through that hassle.
david.

yeah it was on back to front, i am hating myself for that, it is down to the low 50s. still high but its really hot where i live.
i still cant put the fsb up to 166 to run it as a 2800. but ill work on it more when i can swap bits with my hardware.
anyone else had the problem.
thanks.
