MSI K7N2 ILSR and TwinMos Twister?

Hi,
Does anyone have an idea if the TwinMos Twister PC3200 dual-channel kit is compatible with K7N2 ILSR?
Thanks.

Just to clarify, I too have seen TwinMos being used, but have yet to see the TwiSTER series being used.

Kinda silly marketing scheme if you ask me. A compatability report is available, however, only the K7N420 is listed...I never went any further than that.
Like I said, it's unknown territory.

K7N2 ILSR and Coolermaster Aero 7 Problems?

do the K7N2 ILSR support the Coolermaster Aero 7 LITE ? Cause I have one of those, and I wont change to another MSI if I cant use that, its brand new :( Also, would there be any problems with my new GFX5900 SPVTD, also this is MSI.
cause when look at this I se that there are alot of those conductors(?) behnd the AGP slot, wont my card break them in the insertion phase?
http://www.hardwarezone.com/img/data/articles/2003/773/mobo-1.jpg

Ok, I dont thinkl there would be any problem with the gfx then, and it would be strange if msi did a motherboard that dosent fit one of thier own cards...
this is the sink I was talking about, the coolermaster...

MSI K7N2 ILSR - Maximum HDD size

Can anyone please tell me what the maximum hard disk size that a MSI K7N2 can use. It currently has a Seagate 500Gb drive and I want to add a Seagate 750Gb. Will it work okay ie be able to see and use the full capacity of the drive?
Many thanks for your help.

should do
may need jumpering to sata 1 as the controllers old
i would make sure it has jumpers...check their website
as some drives need software
to lower to sata 1
and you then need another pc which can see them to run it

MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Help Please.

Hi all
I have a MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR motherboard that im putting together and I have a question.
In the middle of the socket where the CPU sits is a small CPU thermal protection sensor, my question is that the sensor is higher than the socket and will be touching the CPU when it is inserted is this normal or should sensor be bent downward so not to be in direct contact with the CPU?
I would not be asking this question if not for someone telling me not to put any external case sensor on the CPU direct only on the heat sink but in this case its built into the motherboard itself. Best to be safe than sorry I thought.
Many thanks

Hi Andy
I too have just bought an MSI K7N2-ILSR. On mine the sensor is bent down so as not to contact the cpu. Was like this when I bought it so I would suggest that it is not supposed to touch processor

Msi k7n2 delta vs GIGABYTE nFORCE2 CHIPSET ULTRA400/8XAGP

Is the MSI k7n2 delta a better board the GIGABYTE nFORCE2 CHIPSET ULTRA400/8XAGP
So far i have personally tested the msi k7n2 delta and have had nothing but trouble out of it first i overclocked the amd 3200 and it ran stable and just fine but the odd thing is when i went to restart the computer some time the bio would not beep. so i shut it down and put a volcano 11 on the cpu and not it will not do anything at all
the tried to reset cmos no luck noved the jumper to safe mode no luck and even moved the 133/166 jumper and still nothing
MSI the device you gave me for problem shooting said processor damaged or not put in correct
Tested processor on another computer works just fine
Tested Geil ram pc3200 256 works fine
So i believe the board is shoot
I need to know what to do to fix it if anybody can help or if i should get the GIGABYTE nFORCE2 CHIPSET ULTRA400/8XAGP
thank you

It was designed and optimized to work at this speed.
In fact its real speed is 2.2G and its performance is comparable with the P4 3.2G (you know the story).
AthlonXP3000+ real speed is 2.15G. This chip has two versions, FSB333 and FSB400.
I know what it is :D
What Im saying is he is having troubles booting because he overclocked it, the 3200+ isnt a good overclocker to begin with, Im not saying its something less and it was overclocked, he did the overclock himself and he may have pushed it too far since it isnt a good overclocker...

Msi delta ilsr black screen

I have bought a msi delta ilsr and have installesd twin mos ddr400 pc3200 256mb, pny fx5200 128mb graphics card, xp2800+ and that is it and get nothing just a black screen. also I am using a new qtec 550w psu, all the fans work on the mobo but a black screen

the lights are 2 green and 2 red and then they are red and 3 green, I have tried this ram in another mobo and it works ok.
why the black screen, I hear a beep when the computer is powered up but just a black screen.
could it be the pny fx5200 graphics card???
or a dead mobo??
but the fans all work
shall I put the hard drive and dvd rom etc to the board???

K7N2 ilsr supports cpu halt?

Anyone knows of a program for lowerinng cpu idle temps on nforce2 that really works?I'm running my cpu, a thoroughbred 2000xp in normal speed, 133x12.5 = 1667ghz 1.65v Vcore,on a K7N2 ILSR and the temps are
52C idle
56 full load.
With my previous motherboard a gigabyte kt333 there was no problem with cpucool or cpuidle.Now none of them seems to work and I've tried even wcpredit and speedfan4.13 but even if the settings seem ok there is no drop in temps.I also have disabled all the extra features like on board audio,lan etc and my cpu is really idle. I have the all copper GlobalW™ý CAK 4-88T and arctic silver5 and enough ventilation.Temps reported are the correct ones(bios v7.71).I think I'll try some watercooling or peltier kit.
I am not terribly conserned about the temps and I know it won't hurt my pc but I am pissed off that the halt commands don't work with nforce 2. Anyone knows in what temps are the 2800xps or 3000xp running?And should barton or thoroughbred run cooler?You know greek summer is great... but not for computing(room temp 29c and system 43c when idle with open case)

52C idle
56 full load.
if it goes over 60 celsius then you have to do something about it.
dont run coolerxp that comes with pc alert 4 as it only gets cpu temp to increase.

K7N2 ILSR & Sempron 3000+

Hi,
I just installed a new Sempron 3000+ on my mb K7N2 ILSR and I don't know how to configure it properly in the Bios (FSB, etc.)
I installed the latest bios availble thru Live update but the cpu seems to be not recognized as 3000+
Awaiting some help!
Many Thanks in advance!!
David

this is probably just a cosmetic issue.
main question is... is the sempron performing at the correct speed?
if so, it's just a case of the mobo not knowing what to call it. you may try downloading a program like cpu-z or similar to see if it shows the correct ghz and bus speeds while in windows

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.

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.

I ended up giving up on it for the time being, just using my SMC NIC. Would be quite interested in finding out what the problem is though.
Anyone else in the same boat?
Hi,
Your problem is not the same, SiliconMan is trying to connect with a dial-up modem not LAN. Your problem sounds like it may be configuration, do a search on this post, I'm sure you will find people with onboard LAN troubles. It's hard to troubleshoot though since you didn't provide any info about your computer. Good Luck

Strange phantom restarts on MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR

Just wanted to see if I could get opinions on this. My MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR mobo runs real nice now, but still, on occasion, very rare and intermittently, it will just restart. Not likely a heat issue, as the temps are nice and low. Also, not just happenning when I'm playing a game or anything strenuous. Did it once while checking email, once during install of an MS Office program, and once during a game. Could it be my old Gforce 2 MX 200 video card, as the picture sometimes gets wavy (like fine waves on an ocean), and the old computer it was in did similar things, or is it common with this mobo.
MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR
Athlon XP 2500+ Barton
1026 MB Kingston DDR RAM (2x512 Dual)
Gforce 2 MX 200 AGP 4x
WD 60 GB 7200 RPM

I had errors on test 4 not 5 with Winbond 2-512 Dual Channel called Hardcore Cooling and they said that getting errors with memtest86 may not mean that the ram is defective, it may not be compatible with the memory comtrol and they had me RMA it back. I also was not able to run the ram stable at there advertized rate of 6 2 2 2 it was only stable at 8 3 3 2.5
I replaced it with OCZ after talking to there Tech support people about compatiblety problems with the Nvidia chipset. Sense I installed the OCZ I only had one ram reboot and when I checked I was running the voltage at 2.5 and OCZ said that I should be running at 2.6. They also said that I could run it up to 2.8 with no worry.
Look on manufactor web site to see what ram timing yours should be running at and what voltage, Auto setting in Bios is not always the best setting.
If it still not stable at manufactor spec than I'd talk to who ever you bought it from about replacing it or refund and buy something thats on the Nvidia compatible list.
Most ram manufactors have a list of motherboards that there ram will work on but sometimes the newer boards like K7N2 or not listed yet as still working that out.

Kate needs HELP!!! MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR

Guys...
pls help me...
I am assembling, yes I know I am a techi girl...., msik7n2 with radeon9600 and 2xCorsair Value Select 256Mb DDR 400Mhz PC3200 mem...(hence 512mb)

>only thing I can tell is that the d bracket is indicating "memory section"
....d-bracket from MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR is 1,3,4 red and 2 green. Which is according the the manual "Memory Detection Test"-if the memory module is damaged or not installed properly.
Why woudl a memory suddenly not work?
I know I was adjusting bios for this and that....
I think just before this happened.. I adjusted something on agp setting... but what ahs that got to do with memory?
COuld it be the mobo or memory or the video card???
pls help....

when you got it running then run http://www.memtest86.com to check memory,
also what psu do you have ?
post max amps on 3.3v 5v and 12v rails.
minimum is 28 35 16.recommended is higher.

Data corruption on MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR

Hi all,
Just got my new MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR up and running.
Got some issues with the memory running at 200mhz while the Barton core of my Athlon Xp 2600+ was running 166mhz, this had to be 1:1 (thx forum )
While running the default bios settings with cpu/mem at 166/166 fsb everything is stable as hell. I have been running Prime95 for 2 days now and using the system for dvd ripping/encoding, UT2004 gaming etc.
Then the overclocking began I'm using the standard AMD cooler that came with my boxed Xp2600+ so I didn't expect an FSB of 200mhz.
I stopped at an FSB of 190mhz...been crunching Prime95 for 18 hours now and again very stable.
Now comes the problem : Sometimes I get crc errors when installing a game or decrypting a dvd!! But how can this be? Prime95 is stable at this 190fsb overclock.
When using an FSB of 166mhz no data corruption or crc errors.
What can this be? It's not the cables because they're all the same as in my old setup which was running (ahum...walking) stable. PCI/AGP speeds are locked when overclocking...
Only thing I can think of is the power supply. I've read in a warning post from Bas that the Q-Tec 550w psu I have is crap. So my guess is PSU, but maybe it's something else I'm forgetting...Any suggestions??
The stupid thing is when I'm not overclocking I don't have the data corruption problems, but I'm still using the same crappy Q-Tec 550w PSU.
Help!
gr,
Remco

Hmmm, that's curious. On the MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR product page Kingston memory is recommended
Ok, did a Memtest86 v1.11 pass at cpu/dimm 166/166 - no problems whatsoever. I think using Prime95 would have revealed memory problems...but will do another pass with cpu/dimm at 190/190.
Can overclocking affect the Promise Raid Controller?? It should be locked like the PCI/AGP but who knows...
Well, I still have to replace my PSU but I'm not 100% sure that this is the problem. What PSU would you recommend? ...and I'm also thinking about replacing the standard CPU cooler, any advice is welcome
gr,
Remco
