MSI K7N2-IL 2M/B and MSI MS-StarForce GeForce FX 5900 Ultra

Hi
I wonder if you could help me.
I am curious, the below is the spec of my machine.
AMD Athlon XP 3000 + 333 FSB CPU
MSI K7N2-IL 2M/B
256 GEFORCE FX 5900 ULTRA GRAPHICS
though the graphics card is reported as MSI MS-StarForce GeForce FX 5900 Ultra [Nividia GeForce 5900 Ultra] in Windows control panel.
I am needing to learn more about exactly what is what in this PC.
I have installed MSI Live monitor and have upgraded to NVIDIA nForce System Drivers though my graphic driver is still reported as 4.4.0.3 or 43.51 [another question why are there two versions given to graphic drivers?]
As Live monitor doesn't report any further updates possible when there are newer Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia website - can I install these ?
Also I am looking for a utility to monitor, change fan speed and temperature, is the Nvidia system utility ok to use? It says that it's only compatible with
nForce3 Pro
nForce3
nForce2
I'm not sure if I only have Nforce ?
I would really appreciate any help you may give - I know that the above probably sounds as if I'm as thick as 2 short planks.
Thanks in advance

nVidia Drivers
you can get all your drivers there
both board drivers and vga
you can use speedfan for temp

boards hardware does not support changing fan speeds though

Practical HDD Configuration on K7N2's Promise SATA and NV IDE3

Folks,
There are lots of good fragments on the board about use of IDE3, but not much on total layout of disks for modestly disk intensive applications. Without going to server-type SCSI320 controllers and super-fast drives, here are some questions ---
1a. I'm going to assume until some wise person disuades me, that IDE will just saturate too quickly with good drives.
1b. With the K7N2 architecture, I'm guessing that the Promise chip will pump data on the bus and become less saturated than IDE. Do we know this for sure?
2a. I come from the high end unix world before the days of gigantic storage devices. Back in the day it is an article of faith that disk striping almost always yielded better results.
I'm beginning to wonder about that for non-database PC applications for several reasons. An article that looks at queue depth also reveals that as you add striped drives to an SATA controller, performance may degrade. With just the Promise chip this is probably nit-picking, as were only going to stripe 2 drives. Still one wonders. Here's the paper --
http://www.storagereview.com/articles/200406/20040625TCQ_1.html
2b. Is it possible to run the Promise chip as JBOD? This could be really interesting. Can the IDE3 drive run alone, outside the Promise array?
AND FINALLY...
3a. On this board there are many stories of woe about using the NV IDE3, and good bits of info, but nothing complete. How do you build and manage it?? I don't mean ONE drive in the system, but TWO on Promise SATA and one on IDE3.
3b. Also, since it's controlled by NV, is there reason to believe that data will pump through more quickly than with the standard IDE bus (IDE1 and IDE2)??
This should be interesting...
Cheers, u.
Please PM me if you like.

MSI GeForceFX 5900 Ultra 256mb N-box prob...

I recently acquired a new VGA, it’s a MSI NBOX nVidia GeForce FX5900 Ultra 256MB DDR2 8x AGP video card and I’m having some problems with it. Before this card I had a GeForce 3 Ti 200. I know the basics about motherboards but I don’t know them inside and out. Basically I know the slots and such, but I don’t really know what board I own. I believe it is a M810LR motherboard and I’m running an amd athlon 1.2 Ghz processor on it with 512 RAM with I believe 310 watt power supply.
Anyway that is my system I’m running on so onto the problem. I installed the card into the AGP slot, and it fit nicely. I powered on the PC and it worked, I saw all proper boot up screens, I got to windows ME and of course my desktop pixel quality and color was dumb down because I assume the question of new hardware. I put in the driver CD and installed the driver that came with the VGA no problems with the installation, then of course it asked to restart and I allowed it to. I saw all the correct boot up screens and when I got past the windows ME screen, my monitor went blank when it should have showed my desktop. The monitor was acting like it was not receiving any signal; I checked the connection and it was good. The monitor was acting like it wasn’t receiving anything so I restarted, and again the same problem.
I forced the system to start up in safe mode and it worked, but of course you cant get to a CD drive in safe mode and I want it to run outside of safe mode so I tried one more time in normal mode and the screen went blank again. It was working before with the regular nVidia driver before I installed the MSI driver so I figured I would try that, so I took out the GeForce FX5900 ultra and put my old GeForce 3 Ti 200 back in my PC so I could see what I was doing. Worked fine, so I reinstalled the nVidia driver turned off the PC and put the GeForce FX back in the PC, turned it on and saw all the proper boot up screens, got past the windows ME screen, got to my desktop, and 30 seconds later it freezes, I try it 4 more times and every time it ends up with 30-60 seconds of working fine then the freeze.
I heard great things about MSI products and I would just like mine to work properly.

Ive been dreading upgrading to win XP for a while now, to afraid that I will loose some games or info (like GTA 2).. but im ready and going to upgrade it in 4-5 days. Oh and dont worry if it dosent work, you'll hear from me

45.23's Resolved SBA Issue on MSI 5900 Ultra

Couldn't enable SBA on MSI 5900 Ultra with 45.20 drivers. Fast Writes was ok. 45.23's resolved issue allows me to select, but have to reset after each reboot.

The motherboard chipset drivers (excluding those for the onboard LAN and audio) were installed before the nVidia drivers.
I re-installed the operating system (item 3 in my first post).
P.S.
Just used Driver Cleaner and tried again but still no joy.

MSI FX 5900 Ultra...

hi,

just wondering why this card have no MSI TWIN FLOW
cooling system (it only have the nvidia referenz cooling).
does the 5900 ultra have no twin flow?
or should i have to change it?
p.s. sry for my bad english.

MSI NBox 5900 Ultra wont work at 8x AGP

I recently bought a MSI 5900 Ultra 256 in the NBox package. I installed it and loaded the latest drivers and began playing DAOC. It was great for half an hour then it locked up. I also had an issue where my refresh rates were really bad and it was drawing like one frame every 10 seconds.
I rebooted the pc and turned off 8x agp. Botted it back up and played for the rest of the evening.
I just put in a new 500 watt PS with a 32A 12 v rating, so I would hope the PS isnt at fault. I also had recently cleaned all my nvidia drivers off the machine as I had installed an ATI 9600xt.
Please help.
I already spent a week working on an XFX 5900 ultra that I ended up sending back, I dont want do that again. Also, I have noticed a number of other folks here who have had the same issue.

I have the latest bios and drivers on my pc. I am not too sure what the grease has to do with it not working in 8x mode. I am not real sure what the 3.3 and 5v Amps are actually. The image on the website is very blurry. I looked up a review and found this information:
3.3v 28 A
5v 30 A
3.3v / 5.0v Combined Load - 200W
3.3v / 5.0v / 12.0v Combined Load - 480W
The review was found here:
http://www.systemcooling.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1371
I am going to try a full whip and reload of my machine. If this doesn't work I guess I will return the card and go ATI from here on out.
Could this have something to do with the fact that the motherboard is an nvidia chipset? Do MSI mother boards have issues running nvidia FX cards?

Help installing a MSI NX7600GS-TD256 GeForce 7600GS 256MB

Hello,
I was recently given this video card by a friend... MSI NX7600GS-TD256 GeForce 7600GS 256MB 128-bit GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X Video Card. The problem is that it didn't come with any installation instructions. I'm putting it in this motherboard http://www.foxconnchannel.com/product/Motherboards/detail_spec.aspx?ID=en-us0000114.
I know the graphics card is compatible with the motherboard. My question is do I have to connect the graphics card to the power supply in my computer.

gallienus,
Also next time please list your specs so we can get the full picture of what is in your rig.
This will also give us a chance to point out any issues which might be a problem for you.
Take Care,

Geforce FX 5900 XT and DOT

I have recently purchased a new MSI Geforce FX 5900 XT 128MB DDR VTD, I have a couple of things which I'm unsure of. First of all if I use DOT along with this card how safe it it. I know its really inviting to overclock but if I use the built in DOT technology of MSI am I violating my warranty?? Also this card is not equipped with any temperature monitoring chip, so if I use DOT and overclock how will I know when my Chip is Overheating??
Any ideas plz??
Thanks in advance
Rajiv

Dot should not void warranty, you can contact MSI and ask them as well.
For the temperature, you need to buy a temperature probe.

I am using a late 2008 macbook and have recently purchased a WD Passport Ultra 1TB to use for storage. I have formatted the drive and successfully moved files onto the drive, however now I am unable to locate the drive within FINDER. Please HELP!

I am using a late 2008 macbook and have recently purchased a WD passport ultra 1TB drive to use as storage. I have successfully formatted the drive, and moved files from macbook onto it, however now I cannot locate the drive within FINDER, even though it is showing within disc utility. Please HELP!!!!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Open a Finder window, and your external drive should show up in the sidebar, under "Devices".
A different way is to go to Finder menu (in the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and tick "External disks". If your external drive is detected by OS X, it will show up at the top right corner of Desktop, so double-click it to access to the content.

MSI k8T Neo and the Leadtek A400GT GeForce 6800GT

I have a K8T neo, unmodified northbridge, and was curious if anyone has slapped the Leadtek geforce 6800GT in this board and had any issues with it fitting? Thinking about purchasing. Thanks.

Quote from: Ui30 on 19-May-05, 18:54:24
Don't see why it wouldn't work.
But (of topic ...): why die GF6800? What I understand is that there may be some compatibility isues between nVidia GPU's and VIA-chipsets. Maybe you want to think about buying the ATi X800 card - so you won't have these issues. (Sorry, I don't know the exact details - it's what someone on the Duytch forum mentioned. I think it was Quadrifolio Verde, who is active on this board as well).
If I have any more issues whatsoever with this motherboard, I'm junking it. I have no heard of the issues with Nivida and VIA, thanks for the heads up. As for why the GF6800, it's the fastest card at the price point I'm looking at. I need something quick to drive high resolutions on an LCD.
