Labtech: K7N2 Delta2 Question?

Hi labtech,
I d/l the manual, and wondering if some of the recent booting/posting problems here have been caused by the CPU Interface set to Optimal instead of Aggressive, the latter opening up more FSB opportunities? As well, some may not have set CPU voltage high enough for their FSB wishes. Just some guesses.

Hi Xroyal. For best results with my K7N2 Delta2 Platinum I use manual settings and set cpu interface to aggressive when running my Barton XP2500+ at 200Mhz FSB (400Mhz DDR). The settings I use are as follows:-
High Performance Mode:Manual
Dynamic Overclocking:Disabled
CPU Voltage:1.7V (the default is 1.65V)
Memory Voltage:2.7V (auto)
AGP Voltage:1.5V
Adjust CPU Frequency: 200Mhz
Adjust CPU Ratio:CPU Default
CPU Interface:Aggressive
Adjust DRAM Frequency:Auto
Memory Timings:Manual-11,2,2,2.5 (equivalent to 8,2,2,2 if you have CAS 2.0 memory)
Adjust AGP Frequency:Default
Using the above settings with the B30 bios (I found the B40 bios unstable with my hardware) produce a memory speed of 1507Mb/sec according to a Memtest 86+ v 1.25 boot disk. This is equivalent to a DDR speed of 3000+Mb/sec which is where it should be for a Nforce2 Ultra400 motherboard with my hardware at 200Mhz FSB (400Mhz DDR) with dual channel enabled and cpu interface on aggressive. An Abit NF7-S revision 2.0 is 1511Mb/sec with the latest bios by way of comparison with the same settings. If CPU interface is disabled or set to optimal the score drops to just over 1400Mb/sec. The 3D Mark01 score with my Asus 9600XT with cpu interface on aggressive is 13467 with CATS 4.10. If the cpu interface is disabled or on optimal the score drops to 13124. You can still use Core Cell to overclock or to reduce overclocking within Windows using manual settings if you wish. Finally if you want to overclock this board I recommend checking under the north bridge heat sink to make sure thermal compound is present in sufficient quantity. Mine had only a tiny drop under there. I also fitted a heat sink on the south bridge as this can get very hot under load.

New K7N2 Delta2 - LSR motherboard installed - a few questions

Hi - thanks for your advice on my other threads concerning my dying K7N2 Delta2 - LSR motherboard. I finally installed my new board over the weekend.
It's virtually identical to the old board. The only difference I can find is that this new board has on board LAN.
The downside: When the seller packed the board in the original box, he put the huge Thermaltake heatsink on the CPU socket. It dented the two capacitors next to it. He also put the manual - CD - etc. bag on top of the static bag.
Virtually every capacitor was bent when I took the motherboard out of the bag. Naturally, I was a bit concerned.
The upside: I went ahead with the installation anyway. I could not get the PC to boot when the Thermaltake heatsink installed. All I got was a high-pitch squeal. I thought it was because of the damaged capacitors.
With nothing to lose, I installed the stock heatsink that came with the CPU. It booted right up and is stable. As an added bonus I did not have to reinstall XP Pro or any of my programs!
One other thing - I used Arctic Silver Ceramique and applied it exactly as stated in the directions. I was a bit nervous about not spreading the Ceramique on the CPU.
It works great. I am getting CPU temperatures ranging from the mid 30s C to the mid 40s C. I never got temps in the mid-30s even with Arctic Silver.
I set the BIOS to Optimized as recommended in the manual. I noticed the RAM voltage is set to 2.7.
Question 1 - I believe my RAM is specified to run at 2.5. Will this increased voltage cause a problem?
Question 2 - In addition to Optimized, there's Turbo Mode, Enhanced Turbo Mode and Manual in the BIOS. What's the difference between Turbo Mode and Enhanced Turbo mode? There's nothing in the manual explaining this.
One other thing. I have my new USB keyboard and old USB mouse connected to the PS/2 ports. They work perfectly. I can get to the BIOS using this keyboard.

Wonkanoby, Fredrik, Henry - thanks for posting. The motherboard I have now has an Orange PCI slot, 4 white PCI slots and a Red AGP slot that has a locking mechanism that slides toward the back of the PC tower case instead of a lever that you pull up.
If this is an OEM motherboard, it sure came with a lot of extras, such as SATA cables, a printed manual, CD with drivers, backplate and a fancy box, plus a very customizable BIOS.
Here are 2 pix:
There's no question in my mind that this motherboard is a Retail Motherboard. I just threw out (recycled) an MSI 6389 Gateway motherboard. It had a Gateway BIOS screen, and the BIOS had very few adjustments.
Joe
P.S. The 6389 MSI motherboard had a leaking capacitor and would not boot.
P.P.S. I mentioned in an earlier post that I probably disabled the LAN in my old motherboard since I installed a 1 GB Ethernet PCI card. The computer is old, in that the CPU and heatsink are the oldest components now. Everything else is relatively new -

K7N2 Delta2 - LSR RAM Question

Hi - I have a K7N2 Delta2 - LSR motherboard with two sticks of 512 MB PC3200 400 MHz RAM. I have an opportunity to pick up two 1 GB sticks of Patriot memory at a reasonable price.
Here are the specs on the memory:
http://www.patriotmemory.com/products/specs/pdc2g3200elk.pdf
Question 1: Does anyone know if this is high or low density RAM?
Question 2 - Will high density RAM work on my motherboard?
Thanks
Joe

Bidding on used RAM on eBay is not a very good idea. I would suggest something from here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010170147%201052407862%201052308477&name=2GB%20%282%20x%201GB%29 I use PNY Optima and A-DATA RAM with no problems from either brand.

K7N2 Delta2-LSR doesn't POST

Hi there, sorry before if anyone had asked this question before,
I have a system
K7N2 Delta2-LSR
Sempron 2600+
Adata Vitesta 2x256Mb
Winfast A250LE TD Ti4200
PATA hard drive...
i just tried to oc this system,
before : Sempron 2600+ @1833MHz, fsb 166, ram timing auto, vcore default 1.5V
1st trial : FSB 185, ram timing auto, vcore 1.55V, POST success, but i didn't boot to OS, entering setup again, wanna try higher FSB
2nd trial : at FSB 188, ram timing auto (i only changed FSB and vcore), vcore still 1.55V, my system didn't POST...
I tried to clear cmos, by moved the jumper, but it still didn't POST. Anybody help me pliz, what problem did i face?
Thank's

Quote from: HenryW on 11-August-07, 00:27:10
Do you have the manual that came with the motherboard? What kind of RAM do you have ( PC2700-333Mhz or PC3200-400Mhz)? If you are going to be increasing FSB you should have PC3200.
You will need to set the jumper on J10 to pins 2-3 (safe mode) restart PC and reset BIOS to default settings. Next turn off PC & set J10 jumper back to pins 1-2.
Before attempting to overclock again come back here for advice.
Yup, i have ram, DDR 500, but i run it at fsb 166.
what i tried is FSB at 190 Vcore 1.7V (default 1.6V) ram timing 2-3-3-7 T1
but the cpu temp is 52C (on bios)... is this normal? i only use the stock cooling HSF...
at FSB 166, temp is 47C. But i touch the HSF, not so hot like that temp, is the sensor wrong?
Anyway, on the socket A, there is an electric ribbon (sorry, i don't know the name...i name it my self ), is that the sensor for the cpu temp?
"J10" is nothing on my MoBo, i use "insert" while pressing power button, it worked just the same like "J10" works...

[nForce]: ***Starting your K7N2 Delta2 at default settings***

As some of you will be aware there is no safe mode jumper J10 on the K7N2 Delta2 series of boards. This has been replaced by the "insert" key method as used by Abit and Epox. To start your board at its default settings following an unsuccessful overclocking attempt you need to do the following using a ps2 keyboard. Turn off your machine and disconnect from the mains or turn off the switch on the back of the power supply. Press the front panel power switch several times to discharge any charge remaining in the power supply capacitors. Reconnect the power by plugging into wall socket or turning on psu power switch. Press and hold down "insert" on the keyboard and press the case front panel power switch. If you are successful it should start the cpu and memory at 100Mhz FSB. If it does press "delete" to reenter the bios to change your settings to known safe settings. Good luck.

Great tip labtech. Seems it could save MSI a rash of RMAs to include such advice in the manual. Makes one wonder how much initial testing the MB got.
In the 2 recent cases of not booting after o/c here, still wonder how high the users reached for FSB to trigger the non-booting; ie shooting for the moon or only minor increases (one only tried 200 FSB I think)? Of course, there are the individual sets of gear and skills.
One has to wonder why Newegg is nearly giving away the new Delta2 LSR model for $63US. Same holds true for a host of KT880 MBs. Except for a few toys, seems precious little VIA improvement since the KT333 series.
I'm still hoping to see some Delta2 results from a serious overclocker. I posted for same here in the Overclocking forum, but no bites yet.
Madshrimps review indicates no VDD voltage adj. Wonder if it's hidden in the bios?

K7N2 Delta2 FSR - no post

Ok....just got this board two days ago and installed windows xp pro and updates without a glitch. Then, I installed battlefield2 and played off and on for the rest of the day. Everything worked great ...until, right in the middle of battle, I got the blue screen of death but there was no text...just blue. I then restarted the computer and went into bios to check the temperature, which seemed fine. CPU was at 45c. Windows booted then i started the game again. I played for a while then BAM!!! blue screen again. Repeated checking temp and booted windows again. Started the game and as soon as it started, blue screen. So, I rebooted again. This time I got the award screen and it said "Bios Rom Checksum error. Insert system disk. Well, I do not have a system disk, so I turned it off and came to check here. I've read about all the things suggested like taking battery out, unplugging, pressing insert...blah blah blah. I also downloaded the newest bios and was prepared to flash it. But, the next time I turned it on, I got no post. CD drive spins up...hard drive crunches, fans turn on...but no floppy seek, no video, no beeps, keyboard freezes(i check by pressing caps lock and watch for the light). I am at a loss as to what would cause this, and have even submitted a help request, which says I will recieve a reply in the next couple hours...but have yet to receive such reply. I have tried ALL new hardware in this motherboard along with the originals in another motherboard....all hardware is fine...and other hardware makes no difference in this board. Help
Motherboard: K7N2 Delta2 - FSR
Revision: MS - 6570E Ver: 1.0
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2500+ barton
Heatsink: Thermaltake Copper Plated
Fan: Silent Boost

It's hard to find out things, of course, what it is if one is not allowed to ask what the situation is. The BIOS message checksum error would suggest it returned to basic 100 MHz, which it didn't like. Why did it do that?
The processor is a 166(333) MHz. If you had not so good DDR400 RAM there might be problems, or if it was very fast. What RAM have you got? Or rather, did you have?
If you don't want questions, but something to do, I would suggest you stripped the system of all connected devices - including the power cable and power connections. Also take out the battery and the memory. Please study the memory real close. Go do something else for half a day or so.
Next with only the processor on reconnect only the PSU to the mobo, and have a test run for POST. Hopefully you'll get to BIOS, which will give you all kind of beeps.

K7N2 Delta2-LSR S2K Bus disconnect support ?

Does anybody know if there is built in support for S2K Bus disconnect in K7N2 Delta2-LSR? I've read numerous posts on the Internet, that enabling this feature helps dropping down Athlon XP temps by 6-10 degrees. However, I could not find such option in the BIOS, so I had to use a software utility to do that. It works, but I'm not sure if it has side effects, and it's definitely not the most...elegant solution...
And my other question is: Does this board have support for the internal CPU thermal diode ? As I was assembling my system, I found an external thermal sensor in the CPU Socket, while there is no such in other nForce 2 boards... I've heard thet these external sensors are not accurate at all, and that the actual core temperature is higher by 10-15 degrees...Is that true?

kamelot:
I use Speedfan to monitor the temperatures of K7N2-Delta2-LSR. After Speedfan detects the sensors in K7N2-Delta2 and if you go to Configure->Advanced->Chip:Winbond83627THF, you will see that Thermal Sensor Diode 2 corresponds to "PII diode", which means that it is most probably connected to the internal thermal diode of the processor. The thermal fluctuations with the processor load is instantaneous and steep on this sensor, which tells me that it is indeed the internal diode. Otherwise, there should have been some detectable lag between the thermal response and processor load. I could not find any direct reference to this information but this is what I found by testing and experimenting with Speedfan.
Regarding the accuracy issue, the absolute temperature value can be off but the delta temperatures should be correct. In the end, absolute temperature reading is just a voltage plus/minus a reference value, reference can change and so the temperature reading. My idle CPU temperature is lower than System temperature, which I think is not correct. But I do not mind this so much because the loaded CPU temperature is about 15C higher then idle and I believe this is the sign of efficient CPU cooling.

@Klondike K7N2 Delta2 Platinum, new owner.

Hi.
I am kinda old but maybe not as old as you . Experience before...
Much regard to your efforts for writing some exhaustive information on the MSI K7N2 Delta2 Platinum. I think I would be more than completely lost without your help http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/here-vp624299.html#624299. Now at least my system is running.
I have some specific points, and please forgive me if I'm asking something you may have answered. Got kids running around, that kind of thing. Have to run out and pick up milk in a minute, life is busy, you get it... sure? Any links are helpful too.
The existing server had an XP software raid (hack some dm* files a bit, there is a toms hardware article on it here http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/windowsxp-make-raid-5-happen,925-2.html on a Shuttle AN35 Ultra 400 and a Barton Athlon XP 2600+ 0343.
But it's a barebones board so I thought I would 'Upgrade' the file server with an 'everything' board. Enter the K7N2 Delta2 Platinum. Enter also a 0310 2500+ which I patched the mobile jumper for fun and cut all of L6. The NFORCE2 seems to ignore these settings, and swapping in the 2600+ completely stock doesn't seem to change anything below:
Questions I have which I have not got answered yet (and running 1/20/2005 bios the board came with): I can't adjust the vCore! I can only set it in the bios but not in Windows, where I have 8rdavcore - this dynamically lowered my FSB and vcore when the system was idle. 8rdavcore lists the board but there is no driver in the drop-down: this is not the giveio.sys driver mentioned on the home page, it is a driver to interface with the vcore and other settings on the board.
With your recommendations klondike the system at least boots reliably. Already I am disappointed in the MSI versus the Shuttle for this reason alone, no vcore and the settings seem really picky in the MSI Bios. The shuttle though had a periodic problem with crashes which I never figured out. LC 6420GP 80plus PS, ATI 9250 AGP, Team Value memory (identical in timing to the Value memory in your post Klondike), 3ware 9500S-8 hardware raid, NEC USB 5 port USB card and a 3com 10/100, all moved to the new system, with the 3ware newly introduced replacing the software raid. Removes the annoying rebuild when the system crashes out, prevents major disk data glitches.
I want this system to dynamically underclock, but as yet, I cannot adjust the vcore down. For example, Corecenter, or nTune, has the field for vcore and other values, but except for FSB, they are locked, and 8rdavcore log shows it cannot load the driver. The Shuttle went to under 100 fsb with a low voltage dynamically, I think vcore 1.25 with the Athlon XP Barton 2600+, and run super-cool and use about 75 watts of power vs 110w.
Any ideas?

Came back to the machine, swapped back in the Athlon XP Barton 2600+, took a look in the BIOS (don't know if I changed anything, probably), and now the vCore is greyed out again in 8rdavcore. "No ATXP1 found."
Edit: I used the CMOS jumper to reset settings several times to no effect.
Sorry I did not get the log when it was working. I will next time! I assume where it says "not responding" has something to do with the problem.
Here is the log from 8rdavcore:

Does K7N2 Delta2 Platinum has nvfirewall?

Hi I have a question.
I a few post I have seen that this board the K7N2 Delta2 Platinum has NVFIREWALL that means that has a hardware Firewall but the problem is that in the three months having it I haven't seen it, I try to install the NAM setup program (Nvidia ForceWare Network Access Manager) in the Ethernet folder of the nForce 5.10 Drivers and allways appears an error related in some User name problem, but the moust conserning (sorry for my english) thing is that with the last version of the drivers the problem was the same thing some user name is not a valid name os something like that, so I want to know if it the K7N2 Delta2 Platinum has or not nvfirewall? right at this moment I'm downloading the beta drivers of the nForce the v6.11 I hope I can installed this time.... :..( Btw: I don't know if some of you owners of the K7N2 delta2 Platinum saw the review on madshripms
http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=getarticle&articID=216 ... becouse in section 5 core center & live updated, they show a pictre of the Nvidia nForce Networking Controller ( in the system hardware management) the one shown on the photo shows a colourfull management of the reach features of the Ethernet controller but in my system the management is less colourfull, and I wonder if the board reviewed was the same as all the K7N2 Delta's2 Platinum. I hope someone that has this board or has experiences with it help us with this doubts.
Hy sorry for this big post but somehow I have to make my selft understand, and sorry for my english but here in Latin America we don't speak it to much jejeje.

Thanks for your help, I managaged to install the nvfirewall soft with the Beta nForce Drivers v6.11, I didn't install any drivers I only installed the NAM and istalled perfectly, I wonder wy some dude from MSI TW, from technical support say to me on a replay of an e-mail that the K7N2 Delta2 Platinum Based on the Nvidia nForce2 MCP GB plataform don't have nvfirewall, I don't remember quite well what he told me but that was the main reason for the post here, and is quite suspisius that the v5.10 and older are having a lot of problems with the nvfirewall, but well now I have it and now I can say that I managaged to install all the K7N2 Delta2 Platinum features....
BTW: My System is on a Windows XP SP2, connected bia cablemodem Motorola SB5100 whitout router totally free of external firewall, only cablemodem and ISP.
and the two last atemps of installing the 5.10 drivers were on fresh installs of Windows XP SP2.
Thanks for youre help youre great.

[nForce] K7N2 Delta2 Platinum will not boot up

i have a new K7N2 Delta2 Platinum, a new computer case, and just looking to transfer my old hard drive that was on my old mobo to this new mobo and computer case. I am running XP pro w/sp2. i have installed a new dvd burner and a new cd burner. these items where not previously connected to old pc. I have a MSI-FX5500 video card installed as well. now keep in mind that i already have my old hard drive with XP pro on it, when i go connect all the devices and power on the pc, i am able to go into the bios, it recognizes my 2gigs of corsair memory, my hard drive is recognized, both my cdr/w and my dvdr/w drives are recognized, however, when it starts to load XP from my hard drive, a very quick blue screen comes and goes and i am unable to read the error message. I was wondering is there anyway to slow down or freeze the screen so that I can read the error message? Also, more information about the setup, since i am unable to load XP pro that i already have on my hard drive, I am unable to install the software drivers for either the motherboard or the video card....... Any point of direction would be greatly appreciated. I have built several computers from the ground up before and this is the first time I have ran into this problem........ thanks

since the hard drive was set up on your old mobo then it'll not work straight off on the new one as the details in the registry will be different. One way around it is to boot up off the xp cd and select to install xp and then when it finds your old install on the drive select repair the old installation and this should sort it and will keep all your data thats saved on there.
Once into windows remember to uninstall ALL the old drivers and install all the new ones or problems will arrise and force you into doing a full fresh install.

K7N2 Delta2 Platinum - How big a hard drive will it take?

K7N2 Delta2 Platinum - MS-6570E
I would like to fit a new hard drive my current one is 120GB but its getting full I also have a 40GB second drive too.
Can anyone tell me whats the biggest drive the board will take and are there any makes of drives that work well (and fast) with this board?
Thanks
Sorry I should have said I don't know how to set up a SATA hard drive so I will be buying a serial ATA hard drive

SATA is not hard to set up, although there is an extra step involved with loading OS to it and needs to be XP maybe SP2.
SATA drives are not a problem with the K7N2 Delta2, as single SATA drives are used as Native IDE devices, so there are no extra steps involved, and you do not need to press F6 during Windows Setup. Its exactly the same as installing Windows onto a IDE drive.

How to boot from SATA on a K7N2 Delta2 Platinum

Hi guys,
here is my problem, I've just bought a brand new HD Samsung SATA II 2504C, once connected to the MB I can' t boot from it, even if I change the boot sequence.
I have already two HDs connected to IDE ports, under XP I can format it, I can even install a Linus distro such as Elive, but it refuses to boot.
Is there a trick?
K7N2 Delta2 Platinum
BIOS: B5 1/20/2005
AMD 3000+
2 HDs UMDA 133
2 DVD writer LG and SAMSUNG
1 HD on SATA, which causes me troubles.

disable IDE RAID and ensure SATA is enabled in BIOS
disconnect any other IDE HDDs before you install Windows to your SATA drive; they can be reconnected again afterwards.
make sure that the SATA drive is listed first in 'Hard Disk Priority' under 'Boot Order' in BIOS
