[nForce] K7N2 Delta2 B61 Beta Bios

Anyone have try new b61 bios? I have try a B56 bios but it suck . For my question, it is better than B30 bios? I read it a lot I other forum and they said it great. How about it temperature? It is low like B30?
Sorry for asking to much because my system is still in RMA

I have tried b5, b6.1, b6.0 and b3. As you can see from my signature b3 works best for me; it is the only one that allows a change to high performance mode (from optimised) withoou enabling DOT and seems more stable than the others; cpu temp was lower as well, although that may be a bug.
If you do an advanced search with my user name and b3 in text you will see many posts.

K7N2-Delta2-LSR modded bios?

[nForce] K7N2 Delta2 Platinum w/Version B.5 BIOS, trouble with post and XP install.

I have
K7N2 Delta2 Platinum
MS-6570E Version 1.0 motherboard
AMD Sempron 2600+
Elixir 500MB PC-3200 DDR (3 sticks, total 1.5GB)
eVga Nvidia MX4000 64MB AGP card
Maxtor ATA-100 PCI controller
I pulled everything else out of the box. I've tried the B.3, B.4, and B.5 BIOS and set everything to Optimized Defaults. I created a striped RAID Array of 4 WD 80GB drives on the primary and secondary onboard controller. The CD is on the Maxtor controller.
There are some problems I can't figure out.
1) The mobo identifies the CPU as Athlon XP 1100
2) The POST hangs just before seeking the IDE drives. I have to hit a key for it to continue.
3) The LED's on the D bracket have the top right light dark until the key is hit. Something to do with initializing the floppy controller.
4) The XP install fails to a blue screen just after hitting the F8 key to accept the license. The code is 0x0000007B.
Can someone tell me what these issues have to do with each other and how I can correct them?

The Maxtor controller was removed when you originally suggested to do so. The add on controller is an SIL 680 RAID.
I will try reseating the processor next.
I can also attempt a boot through POST without the array, as this shouldn't affect the boot process.
I did notice that the ctrl-alt-del on the LEFT side of the keyboard doesn't work.
However, the ctrl-alt-del on the RIGHT side of the keyboard does work.
Maybe I've been looking for a serious problem and overlooking the obvious.
I do not see how the CPU temp would cause a pause at boot until "any key" is hit... it sounds more to me like the system has paused to either look for a device or boot a BIOS on a device card.
If I am not mistaken, you are using a RAID card to boot windows? Is this correct?
If that is true it is possible the boot sequence is not set correctly in the BIOS such as "BOOT OTHER DEVICE" ( I cannot remember the exact term in the BIOS)
I am not sure about that but you could try changing the boot sequence so your RAID card is above "HARD DISK" on the list

[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
MSI K7N2 Delta2 Platinum
Athlon XP 3200+ (400 MHZ FSB)

MSI Geforce FX5500 FX5500-TD256 Video Card
Asus dvd burner
Asus cdr/w drive
Windows XP Pro SP2

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.

[nForce] K7N2 Delta2 LSR and XP-M 2600 Help!!!

Hi,
I'm having trouble just getting this board to run stable at any speed.
The orignal idea was to put this system together from spare parts and use it as a second sytem to learn about OCing, but somehow I ended up buying mostly new parts and I can't even get it set up to run stable at BELOW stock speeds.
380W Antec Truepower 24A 12v
Kingston HyperX KHX 3500K2/1g (installed in slots 1&3 - middle slot empty)
Artic Coolling Copper Lite
Thermalrigtht NB-1
XP Home
The problem is Windows just locks up. I don't get a BSOD or error messages.
I've tried different ram voltages from 2.5 thru 2.7
I've tried using Patroit XBL 3200 TCCD
Am I overlooking something obvious?
Thanks,
L.J.

Excellent
download cpu-z
memory tab tells you actual memory timings
spd tab gives you the manuufacturer's programmed timings
I'm still on bios b3 as it is only one that allows me to change memory timings with DOT disabled.
keep us informed as to your progress
Thanks Dave. I don't know why I didn't remember that.
Good Luck

[nForce] K7N2 Delta2-FSR PCI revision Q.

What is the PCI revision for this motherboard?
Can't find it anywhere on official page or somewhere else.
thx in advance

Dr Stu, I have'nt bought the board yet, I just want to upgrade my kt3 ultra2 in my sig, want to get dual channel memory, 8X AGP and sata to get the most speed out of my XP2700. I have already bought another 512mb of Crucial Ballistix for the dual channel. I'm looking for a good socket A board before they go away! I know I'm pushiing my PS with only 18amps on the 12v side, but it has the xtra 4 pin connector and it's a good quality. The link Fredrik so kindly provided is what it looks like. It has been a decent sink for me. It is 80 X 80 mm @ the aluminum fins. Actually I had to lap mine to get a shiney surface, it had machine marks on it. Thanks
P.S. The K7N2 looks like it's feature pack, just wondered if it's a good stable board

[nForce] K7N2 Delta2-FSR and AX-7 Heatsink

Hi, does this heatsink fit on this MB? It looks like the chipset HS & fan are too close. Anyone have this combination? Also is this a good socket a board, there seem to be people with alot of problems? Thanks

[nForce] K7N2 Delta2 psted once - now I get nothing on screen

Hi all:
I've been reading some of the other posts on this topic, but I decided to add mine since it is slightly unique. A colleague of mine wanted a new system so I recommended him a list of parts on newegg.com, and he ordered it and assembled it himself. He reported to me that it was able to POST sporadically, but that he was having no consistent success. I assumed he did something wrong, so I took a look at the system yesterday.
I took everything apart, re-seated the CPU, HSF (applied thermal grease after removing the pad), removed one of the memory modules, reset the CMOS, and then plugged everything back inside the case (AGP, HDD, fans). The system posted, to my surprise. Delighted, I started off by looking at setting up the system date when the screen went blank. I re-started the system and on all subsequent trials, I've not been able to get POST to show...I get nothing. I've removed the battery, and reset the CMOS with the jumper, but I've had no success. I disconnected the HDD too. The system fans do spin but the monitor indicates no signal.
I tried a different video card (the one from PC#1 listed in my signature), and it had no effect on the system. I put the PC#2 video card in my #1 system and it worked fine. I have moved the RAM around in the system, with no effect. I tried 1 stick of my Samsung PC-2700 (again from PC #1), but I had no luck. The only things I have yet to do is try to run the system out of the box, and also to try running it with the 430w Antec PSU.
What do you guys think, RAM compatibility issues? Corsair's website would beg to differ, but it seems that a number of people have had some problems with Corsair & MSI K7N2 motherboards. The RAM sticks were purchased in a dual-channel kit. Why would the PC POST once last night for about a minute, and not be able to do so again? I suppose the obvious answer is that something is fried.
Any help or additional suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

DaveR & osnavi had it right on. The 350W Antec PSU had +12V1/10A, +12V2/15A, -12V/0.3A which is a total of ~15A I believe. The 430W Antec in my main machine had +12V/20A, -12V/1.0A. I connected the 430W power supply and I achieved POST without problems. I've since connected all of the devices, loaded Windows XP and even got the dual channel RAM to work. Thanks for all the help! I'll tell my colleague to get a higher grade PSU with at least 12V/18A.

[nForce] k7n2 delta2 shut down

When I try to shut the computer off, windows shut down option, all it will do is reset the computer.

The onboard lan is disabled. If I shut the pc off with the rocker switch on the psu, I have to wait a few minutes before it will startup again.

K7n2 delta2-fsr and 2600+ Barton o/c problem!

Hi my system consist's of :
Athlon xp 2600+ Barton
k7n2 delta2-fsr ( B3 bios)
2*256 Twin Mos cl 2.5 Dual channel
GForce4 MX 440
ASUS 300w (+3.3V-> 28A, +5V -> 30A, +12V -> 18A)
The problem is that i can't go stable above 178 FSB whatever the Vcore is!
The cpu temperature seems to be low enough ( 38 idle)
With my previous mb i had reached easy 192 with the same processor.
The DOT is disabled!
Any ideas?

Quote from: BOSSKILLER on 27-January-06, 20:01:25
enable acpi.
set dot to default
set nvmm enabled
set fsb:ram 1:1
agp to 68mhz
nv/ati speedup leave auto
cpu interface set to normal
give nesesery CPU Vcore...
set DIMM Vcore at minimum 2.70
leave memory timmings to optimised if you dont know what to set.
start from memtest86 to be sure its memory probs. make sure there is no errors at test number five.
start increase DIMM Vcore if errors is detected till 3.0V its safe mobo is dimm is undervolted after 2.9V isnt give actual core what is suppose to be. let we know how its going.
make sure 1st that you dont have any memory fabric malfuction. this can be done by testing one stick then test other stick with memtest86.
at all i think that your CPU want more Vcore to be stable when you change FSB to higher. set CPU Vcore to 1.85V to be sure.(standart cooler can handle it) or best way is to lower multipler and set FSB to 200FSB to test memory if toyr CPU is unlocked.
First of all i'have already tested my cpu and the rams with my previous mobo,so unless this mb has a problem i should go up to 192fsb without any problem!
Now i can't understand why should i raise the Vdimm since the ram runs at lower frequency than the deefault?
Anyway i'll try all you say above and let's hope that everythimg will go ok!
Thanks

[nForce] has somebody MSI K7N2 Delta2-FSR + barton mobile

I wanted to know if there is a possibility of changing cpu ratio because msi kt4av did't see this cpu as mobile. on epox 8rda3+,8rda3+pro, and abit everything is ok. Has there somebody such mainboard with this cpu? Does mainboard seethis cpu correctly? And does somebody know if how to change the cpu ratio in barton mobile's bios.i wanna buy MSI K7N2 Delta2-FSR

Frequency/Voltage Control in BIOS
"CPU FSB Clock"
"CPU Ratio" (multiplier)
that is from KT4AV manual
mobile CPUs aren't properly identified on most boards, but that is merely a "cosmetic touch"

Cannot get into windows or bios. (k7n2 delta2)

Hi guys
Ive bought new ram and graphic card for my bro's pc(mobo: k7n2 delta2), but when i changed them the pc only got to the screen of the motherboard with press del to enter bios and tab for post.
But it doesn't go in bios when i click delete, the keyboard is connected and the led light up when i boot.
I have tried to use the old ram and graphic card + reset the bios but nothing works.
Im really lost here, anybody got any ideas?

Quote from: BOSSKILLER on 08-February-07, 00:32:04
hello, provide full system specification, including PSU details.(can be found into PSU sticker) read Moan Guide
power down PC, remove power cord and repeat Clear CMOS Guide
check all power cables are connected to storage devices.
hit "TAB" key few times immediately after power on PC, to remove full screen logo and to see where exactly stuck.
i have cleared the cmos couple of times (take out battery and change jumper)
didn't think full system spec would be needed as it was working before i changed the ram and 3dcard.
but
its amd2800 cpu

psu: 350watt
graphic card: club3d X1650Pro

[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 Platinum Stuck at Decompressing Bios Image

Hey guys, I just bought this mobo and got everything running great (played CS:S for many, many hours ) until i tried messing with the raid and then the hard drives disappeared from bios and then I tried clearing cmos.
now it won't post and it's stuck with top leds green and bottom leds red, which is "Decompressing BIOS image to RAM for fast booting". I tried clearing cmos again with the jumpers and also by removing the battery but with no success. How can I revive my bios?
i don't think it has anything to do with my other hardware, but since you guys are pretty big on including specs so...
K7N2 Delta2 Platinum
1700+ Thoroughbred
512mb x 2 OCZ value ram
450 watt superflower ttgi

I saw someone talk about some insert button trick and it worked. Is this something that loads fail-safe defaults on all motherboards? it's kinda strange that I never saw anything that gave me a checksum error, so I guess maybe the checksum checker is not working or something? well, now that my comp's up and running, that's it for me. no more messing with it. thanks for taking the time to look at my post.
oh, i left out my HDs cuz I pulled them and i was just trying to get my comp to boot, that's all. They are 120gig 8mb WD's, one SATA and one IDE. The value ram is rated at 400mhz and ran fine at that speed at 7-3-3-2.5 on my other comp. My PSU provides 18amps on the 12v, not sure if that's good or not.

[nForce] High CPU Usage for SATA to SATA File Transfers? K7N2 Delta2 Platinum

I've recently added an additional SATA hard drive to my K7N2 Delta2 Platinum, and was wondering why it uses like oh.. 100% of my CPU to transfer files to another SATA hard drive. I'm using the latest nforce2 drivers at the moment.

whoa.. so many replies.. but yea system specs:
AMD Barton 2500+
1GB DDR 2700
ATI Radeon AIW 7500
