Passive cooling of N/B (K7N2G-ILSR )

Hi,
I'm trying to build a (virtually) silent computer. I've noticed the K7N2G-ILSR has a heatsink/fan-combination to keep it cool. I was wondering if the heatsink/fan-combo can be detached from the mobo and replaced by a good heatsink like the Zalman NB32J http://www.atruereview.com/NB32J/index.php
Thanks in advance for your response.
grtz.

Tweakfreak,
I would not worry about the Northbridge Fan. You will not hear it outside your case.
Take Care,
Richard

Will a Copper Silent 2 cpu cooler, fit in a k7n2g-ilsr??

hi all!!!
i have just ordered an Arctic Cooling Copper Silent 2l. the dimensions are 88x82x79.
i have just been checking the room available on my mobo, and i have my concerns about wether it is going to fit!!!!
has anyone succesfully fitted one of these on a k7n2g??? i think its going to be very very tight!!!
thanks guys!!!!!!
cte

Hello,
I have had one (Coper silent 2) on an Abit NF7-S v2.0 (this is an NForce2 ultra board.
It will fit , actual dimensions of the heat sink are 84 x 76 x 41 mm

K7N2G-ILSR: On-board video too unstable to use

Putting together a new computer for my son. Using K7N2G-ILSR and was really looking forward to the onboard video. Using Athlon XP 2100 (from my prior machine -- 100 percent solid CPU) and initially bought Corsair 2700 256MB with the new board. As an immediate downer, the board refused to work with the memory (nonstop beeping/D-LED stuff, etc.) at power up (tried all slots -- same result). Observation: this compares very unfavorably with my highly-favorable experience with Soyo boards, by the way. Swapped out that memory with Kingston 2700 256MB from my daughter's machine, which is running Soyo Dragon Lite.
Ok, so after some immediate (and unnecessary) memory hassle, got system to boot. CPU is running fine and cool at 50 deg C.
Next (BIG, BIG) problem: Onboard Video is WAY, WAY too unstable in Windows 2000 to be usable. At the outset, the video is showing random horizontal streaks (of trash) across the screen. The only time I've seen that before in my 15 years of PC use is in a Diamond video card a long time ago that was also defective. However, I can live with streaks. The problem is that the machine crashes every time, 100 percent of the time, within 15-90 seconds of booting into Windows 2000 (SP3). (Of course, used latest video driver from a web site, different settings, different refresh rates, and all the other usual stuff, etc., etc., etc.) By the way, I had the patience to try this with and without SP3, and tried a zillon different bios settings. Nothing worked -- same immediate crash problem. Also booted into safe mode and same deal -- but at least that confirms that the problem is probably underlying hardware-related problem, not software/driver problem. (If it can't run under generic Windows VGA driver, then it probably can't run under anything else.)
Only solution is to swap in an existing AGP card. That solves the problem 100 percent but I am not exactly happy camper since I paid for the on-board video (and for budget reasons the card that I am swapping in is not exactly cutting-edge.)
If anyone has a silver bullet fix for this, I would love to hear it. Otherwise, I will assume that the onboard AGP is defective and/or poorly designed, whereupon I would have been better off not spending the extra money for it. My best guess is that the memory and/or other video circuitry is defective.
Otherwise, happy with the underlying performance of the motherboard itself but the video fiasco is a BIG letdown. :O
Thanks.

SILVER BULLET FOUND!!! (and it was free) BIG, BIG, BIG cigar to Bikeman for his above post, which focused my attention on the BIOS. Had considered it at the outset, but figured there was no way I was going to need to flash a brand spanking new board. But when you read the BIOS update notes, one of its fixes is with Kingston memory which is currently in the board. Recall from above, however, that Kingston was a fallback as board complained bitterly about the Corsair memory that I bought with the board. (My daugher's Dragon Lite is quite happy with either memory.)
So here's the rundown. Actually couldn't see what bios ver. I had at POST as text went by way too fast. So install live update software which confirmed that I had older v. 1.2 bios. (Interestingly, the live update itself was old enough that it itself had to self-update before I could use). Flashed BIOS to 1.3 using the Windows version of update, which I will report worked real smooth.
Rebooted and proceeded to install fresh nVidia driver from nVidia website. However, I can tell you that the BIOS was definitely the problem because before I wouldn't have been able to easily get to the point of installing video driver without 5-10 crash/reboot cycles -- so the new-found stability made it very clear that the BIOS update was the "silver bullet" I was looking for.
Postscript impressions: (1) MSI boards are VERY finiky about memory (which is a problem that I have never had with Soyo boards), and (2) this is the 2nd MSI board I have bought and the 2nd one that has had severe bios issues. The first board was a low-end A socket board with AMI bios that arrived faulty/trashed -- half way thru POST, bios would start spitting out garbage ASCII characters.
Again thanks again to Bikeman for saving me from spending any more money (on psu or other memory) and for letting my son's system now run 8X AGP.

K7N2G-ILSR (MS6570G) Promise RAID Driver trouble with 1TB SATA-II HDD XP SP2

Hi, I'm having trouble getting XP to recognise my new HDD.
I am using a MSI K7N2G-ILSR. I already have a 40GB IDE drive I use for the OS and apps, and an 80GB drive I use for storage. I recently bought a new 1TB Samsung SATA-II drive to increase the storage.
To begin with I simply plugged it in (port on the mobo marked SER1) and hoped XP would auto detect it. No such luck, so I used a USB to SATA convertor to connect the drive, format it, and check it worked properly. All OK, but still no result from windows when I go to the disk management settings.
So I got out the mobo manual and followed the instructions for installing the Promise 376 SATA RAID drivers. I setup the array in fastbuild (auto setup to a single stripe 1+0 array) and it shows the drive as present and functioning. I put in the XP CD and F6'd the SCSI drivers on as directed by various google searches. That went fine but there is still no detection in XP.
The drive came with jumper pins but no jumpers. I am slightly confused as I have read the jumpers can be used to force 150 speed from the drive, but also that SATA-II is 100% backwards compatible and doesn't need jumpers whether it's host is SATA or SATA-II.
I have read through various threads in this forum and have not been able to find a solution. The drive works fine, the RAID bios seems to work fine, but I can't achieve a detection by XP (with SP2).
Hope somebody can help me master this! If I've forgotten any details just ask.

Cool, thanks. It wouldn't let me install the exe, was I supposed to change to extension to .inf? Anyway, it did let me install the Promise driver from the floppy, and that now shows properly in the device manager.
I will reboot and report back.
"Cool, thanks. It wouldn't let me install the exe, was I supposed to change to extension to .inf?"
No, just run it 1st. Its self extract archive which will expand the drivers to desired location.
"Anyway, it did let me install the Promise driver from the floppy, and that now shows properly in the device manager."
Yes, that's the same drivers.
"I will reboot and report back."

K7N2G-ILSR need serious help!!

OK, Ive had my K7N2G-ILSR running perfect for nearly a year. It came out of my gaming rig to do duty in my server a few months ago and always ran perfect. 6 weeks ago, I started changing my configuration, I went from a Gainward FX5900 NU to a Radeon 9800 Pro to an MSI FX5900Ultra, and added a Winfast TV2000XP expert, and swapped in a 2800+. It seems as if after I swapped in the 2800+ the problems began. Constant BSOD under use and Memtest86 would lock, never give me errors, just locked. I RMAd the board and got my replacement this weekend. I installed it and almost the exact same problems. In the interim, while the K7N2G was away at RMA camp, I picked up a KT6 Delta LSR and used it in its stead. Same processor, PSU, DDR, HSF, Video card, Tunercard, case and cables. It ran absolutley flawless. I was watching TV on the tuner while browing the web and unRARing a 4.5GB movie file without the slightest hint of trouble.
Now, With the replacment K7N2G in, some days I can Memtest86 for 2 hours without a problem, and sometimes it will not go past the "moving 64K block" section. There is no rhyme or reason as to when it will or wont lock. I got into my original windowsXP installation, and tried to run Prime95. Error, BSOD and another BSOD. Then one day, it ran for 1-1/2hours Prime95 perfect. ?!?!? I have tried the following, and have not found a stable setup yet. I dotn want to go back to the KT6 LSR, because I need my Soundstorm and I like dual channel Nforce. Heres everything I have tried.
Downclocked to 133FSB - stable sometimes.
Switched to Single Channel and relaxed timings - no difference.
Removed video card and tuner card - no difference.
Ran single stick of DDR - no difference.
Tested HDD twice - no errors.
Tested HDD on KT6 Delta LSR - ran PERFECT.
Tested DDR on NF7-S and KT6 Delta LSR - ran PERFECT.
Tested 2800+ on same 2 boards - ran PERFECT.
Tested FX5900U on same 2 boards - ran PERFECT.
Disabled FW and AGP8X- no difference.
Tried Onboard Vid - no difference.
Tried MSI FX5200 64MB - no difference.
Upped core and DDR voltage - no difference.
BIOS Safe defaults - no difference.
Cleared CMOS and ran at defaults - no difference.
Checked and rechecked mounting (though the first ran perfect in same case for 8 months)
The only thing left would be the PSU, but it seems hightly unlikely that it would be the culprit, it is only 6 months old. it is a 430W Thermaltake Silent Purepower. I built a system for a friend, nearly identical except his has an 80GB HDD and 9600XT. I recently swapped a 3 year old PP303X Antec 300Watt PSU without P4 connector into his because his cheap Raidmax 400 blew out, and the Antec runs his system rock solid. The temps in my system are right on, 45C CPU Loaded, 32C Case loaded. CPU is cooled by a Vantec Aeroflow w TMD. What the hell is going on here? My level of expertise is high. this is the first system ihave not been able to troubleshoot. I dont want to get stuck with an Nforce2 board sitting on my shelf in its box, and I cant afford to replace it. HELP!!!!

Basically yes, I took everything apart when i installed the KT6 Delta, and when I got my K7N2G back from RMA, I cemoved everything, cleaned the case and reinstalled it all.
When the K7N2G was running rock solid, I was running a 2500+ barton. When I swapped my 2600+ in, after I had the instability with the 2800+, the system seemed more stable, but still had trouble. I wish I had my 2500+ back to test it out, but its long gone. I am using the latest BIOS, 1.8 or 1.9, I forget which, and the one I got back from RMA has the latest BIOS on it as well.
I am really beginning to beleive that my PSU is flaky, and I'm waiting for a friend to borrow me his 350W Antec so I can test the PSU theory. Im still open to suggestions!!

K7N2G-ILSR Sometimes boots, sometimes not.

I have a feeling I'm stuck with this, but maybe there's a eureka-moment I've missed? Having looked through the forum I've seen similar problems but I'm not sure this is the same.
Problem is with a K7N2G-ILSR that 70% fails to boot (RAM error), 10% boots with half RAM, and 20% boots OK. Full system spec:
=====================================================
K7N2G-ILSR (0304082234) (BIOS v1.6)
Athlon-XP 2600+ (2.083GHz)
2 * 512MB PC2700 (slots 2 & 3) (RAM branded "MV")
2 * Seagate Barracuda 7200/8 160GB S-ATA hard drives (mirrored)
Samsung floppy
Panasonic SW-9581-C DVD-writer (IDE2 master)
PS/2 kb & mouse
Antec Lanboy case (comes with Antec SmartBlue 350W PSU)
Antec SmartBlue max load details:
+5V - 35A
-5V - 0.5A
+12V - 16A
-12V - 0.8A
+3.3V - 28A
+5VSB - 2.0A
+5V & +3.3V max combined output: 230W
+5V & +3.3V & +12V max combined output: 330W
Cooling:
AKASA 824cu-RED (copper base, 8cm fan) (into 4pin from PSU)
AKASA GREEN LED 8CM CRYSTAL FAN (into 4pin from PSU)
All 4 MSI brackets are plugged in.
No AGP or PCI cards.
CPU idles at 30C, sustained load at 40C.
=====================================================
I've tried all the CMOS reset, battery in/out etc suggestions with no change in symptoms.
Disconnecting HDs, DVD and front fan make no difference. BIOS v1.2, 3, 4, 5, 6 make no difference.
This is the 2nd motherboard... the first one (rest of system unchanged) worked great as far as booting went but had the INCREDIBLY ANNOYING HIGH-PITCHED NOISE from near the CPU socket. This was after running with the auxillary 12V (4 pin) cable plugged in. According to posts elsewhere in the forum, once that 12V cable has been used you can't get rid of the noise... so this time I have carefully *not* used it. Please don't tell me that the lack of it is why the current system is having problems! La-lah-LA-la-LAH I don't want to know :o)
To get the system to boot I do this (from OFF):
Turn on with front power button.
If memory error (beep and LED pattern):
turn off with front power button
count to ten and start again
If only half RAM on POST screen:
turn off with front power button
count to ten and start again
Otherwise dual channel msg comes up and we have lift-off!
I've tried other rituals (power cable, PSU switch, CMOS reset...) but the result's always the same.
When the system boots properly (1 time in 5) it's great... Win2k is happy and CPU/memory intensive apps are solid. But a Windows restart (or aven Ctrl-Alt-Del after a floppy boot) puts us right back to the problem: 1 time in 5 it'll restart happily, otherwise it's the damned beep-beep-beep!
RAM: yes, it's a brand I'd never heard of but they do seem to be a batch pair. As noted above, both DIMMs were OK in the first K7N2G-ILSR. They're also fine in a Shuttle SN41G2. So I'm a bit sceptical about the veracity of the RAM-error beeps!
So peeps, if you've read this far, any ideas what's causing me (re)boot hell? I think I'd just live with it but for one thing... I really need for this system to be remotely bootable (VNC and a Windows restart req)... hardly likely to work is it?!

wonkanoby: tried the pencil rubber thing but, sadly, no joy.
buggfix: I hear what you say and it is very tempting to plug the aux 12V in. I've got another K7N2G-ILSR in an Antec Plus 1080AMG case (Antec True430 PSU) with the 12V plugged in and no noise (yet). (But it does have a Win2k-srv memory-leak problem and that's why I'm desperate to get the system described at the top of this thread working - essentially a duplicate to let me test installation order.) The noisy board was older (going by s/n) so maybe it was a batch problem and I'd be safe enough now?
0303234967 - noise
0304036761 - OK in Antec 1080
0304082234 - this thread's subject
Now wishing I hadn't tried to make such a low component-count server; shoud've stuck with basic board + NIC + SND + VID cards.
twistedbrowntucker: Possibly there was some follow-on damage, but it doesn't "feel" right. Still, now I'm reduced to the "known good" dance. If I can get the time tomorrow I'm going to break up a Shuttle (SN41G2, XP2600+, 2*512MB, 200GB Maxtor, LG DVDwriter, card reader) and see if I can pinpoint anything... swapping the RAM is number 1 obviously! Then the CPU and then maybe rip apart another PC or two for PSUs... I feel tired already!
My gig is normally software so, although I'm quite happy with hardware, I resent getting bogged down. Usually paying a bit extra for known-brands keeps me out of that - hey, I want to *use* the stuff!
Thanks for your replies peeps.
ASIDE: Question about the HD LED - I'm getting zero activity... should the S-ATA drives be showing up? Or the DVD activity?

K7N2G-ILSR MS-6570 fsb cpu can't change specs

How do I change fsb and get cpu better performance.
The jumpers J10 set 133mhz
J11 " Short
My cpu running at 1.25mhz not 1.667mhz
Bios shows FSB@100
If I change CPU to 1.667 and fsb to 133 system hangs on windows desktop
K7N2G-ILSR MS-6570
AMD 2000+ AthlonXP

then you got the cooler install wrong,have a weak psu,or very poor ram

K7N2G - ILSR problems ...

Right, this is a long story!
I got my K7N2G a few months ago now, started by using PC2100 (Generic, lol) ... it worked quite well - I can't remember getting crashes!
I then upgraded to 2x256Mb PC3200 TwinMOS, not knowing about this whole picky RAM thing - I'd heard it was good RAM so I got me some ... after replacing one because of a bad stick I had both sticks running well, I then started getting lotsa freezing in games (esp. UT2003) and I thought it was just overheating but after doing some overall quietening (Zalman GPU, new CPU cooler), it was still crashing ... then the fan on my chipset died so I stuck a new 40mm fan ontop and seemed allright but was still getting the odd freeze in-game! Eventually was told that the 40mm fan wasn't actually needed so I removed it and things didn't get any worse ...
Untill now, I get crashing in game very often and I have lost my USB ports)!
Is any of this todo with my RAM, or chipset fan removal?
Also this is an engineering release ... is it safe to update it with the latest K7N2G-ILSR BIOS?
I had less problems with my ECS K7S5A, lol!
Thanks for reading and hope you can help ... Alex

Grrrrr!
Sorry to hear that your dead in the water. :( Since your going to buy a new PSU "DO NOT BUY A QTEC" Stick with an Antec or Enermax 400W+, you may pay a little extra but this is one of the most important components of you system so it's worth it. It will help eliminate a lot of problems in the future.

K7N2G-ILSR COMPATABILITY WITH NEW HARDDRIVES/video agp cards?

will the K7N2G-ILSR work with the new SATA WD 74G Raptors? Also will this board support the 300G Diamond Max or the Hitachi 400G PATA OR SATA? also would like to know if anyone used a 9800 AIW or the new X800 XT AIW on this board. would appreciate the input before I purchase. Thanks in advance.
K7M2G-ILSR
KINGSTON 512 MEG RAM IN DUAL MODE
2500+ BARTON CORE
ONBOARD SOUND
ONBOARD GFX
ENERMAX 300 WATT PS
TDK BURNER
WIN XP PRO SP2

Sorry guys I didnt explain that I am a "techie" (my fault) and yes the Pwr supply is a no brainer for the AIW alone, a cool master 500 watt is already on the list as well as plextor newest dvd dual layer, an upgrade to one gig o ram, and a barton core 333fsb 3000+ xp. I am just looking for actual "hands on" testing of the hardware on this board. I have already done the research on the specs and what should work but for someone to already have experienced it first hand and report thier findings would be a great plus. and yes I have the most current bios from MSI (2.0)

K7n2g-ilsr IGP graphics interference

When using the IGP, I see moving diagonal lines on my desktop.
I don't think it's a memory compatibility issue since I don't experience any reboots, lock-ups, crashes, etc. I suspect it's the PSU but I need a second opinion on this.
I already experimented with the bios settings with no luck, even on default.
Here's my specs:
XP 1,700+
MSI K7n2g-ilsr
2 pcs. twinmos 512 ddr400 (twinmos chips)
Enermax 330 watts (+3.3v=30A, +5v=32A, +12v=12A, combined +3.3v and +5v= 160W)
I know that the 12v rail is too low, but like I said, I don't experience reboots and everything, just the annoying interference.
I haven't got this problem whenever I use a separate agp card (geforce2mx)

Your combined is low as well...should be more like 200W to get enuff power to this setup...

USB 2.0 problem (K7N2G-ILSR and HP PSC 2210)

I'm using a K7N2G-ILSR mainboard in combination with a HP PSC 2210 all-in-one printer. The printer sometimes stops printing and produces an error. The print can not be deleted and I have to reset the computer.
I'm using the latest HP drivers for the printer, Windows XP Pro with all Windows Update fixes and the latest upgrades for teh mainboard (Live-Update).
Is this a known error and is there a fix/workaround (can I set the USB in the BIOS to 1.1 only (instead of 1.1 and 2.0)??
According to HP it is related to the chipset and the USB driver. Until now I have not find a document explaining the problem for this mainboard and a proper solution.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks for your help!
Cees

Cables are cables still at this point in the game so it could be that you have a faulty cable but there are no special 2.0 cables to buy...
Never been a big fan of the All-in-one printer/scanner/copiers, I've had nothing but problems most of the time when my clients buy them...but they still buy them...if you think about it they really only came out just over a year and a half ago so that technology isn't quite mature yet...
I doubt that it has anything to do with your setup directly, it sounds like a driver issue and one that's clashing with another driver that's used for something else in your machine...no I don't know what cause I don't know what you are using in your system heheheh
I had a client that bought one of the newer photo printers, why I don't know cause he doesn't even own a digital camera, but he just had to have one, but anyway, it would error out everytime he tried to print to it...I reloaded his system and systematically added in one component at a time...writing down everything I did...when I put in his ATI All-In-Wonder card and loaded the software for the TV part lo and behold when I printed I got the error again...couldn't fix it for my life either with all the newest drivers from ATI and HP...went backwards in time for older drivers to no avail...the guy stiffed me on the bill for over $1000.00 and I've not heard from him again so I can't tell you if he fixed it or not at this point...

SATA controller on K7N2G-ILSR "supports IDE"

I have a K7N2G-ILSR with the onboard Promise 20376 Serial ATA controller, which supposedly supports using the IDE3 port as a separate IDE channel to connect hard drives and CDRoms and whatnot. I have not been able to simply get the SATA controller to work with IDE. I have tried connecting a hard drive and optical drives. With the single hard drive, instead of simply booting like it should, it tells me that no array is defined and asks me to create one. Since I have data on the hard drive already and don't want to risk erasing it by "creating an array", I didn't push my luck. With optical drives, it is the same story, except that of course I can't create an array with an optical drive, even if I try (nor does the setup utility let me). I am also thinking about purchasing a SATA adaptor for the hard drive, but am afraid that it is going to ask me to create an array again (again, fear of losing data). So, how do I get the IDE3 port to work as advertised? And how would I get the SATA working in a non-RAID configuration?

They don't advertise that...
On-Board IDE
An IDE controller on the MCP2/MCP2-T chipset provides IDE
HDD/CDROM with PIO, Bus Master and Ultra DMA133/100/66
operation modes
Can connect up to four IDE devices
Serial ATA Interface (Optional)
Support 2 serial ATA plus 1 ATA133
- RAID O or 1 are supported
- RAID function works w/ATA133+SATA H/D or 2 SATA H/D
• Connect up to 2 Serial ATA devices and 1 ATA133 device
This is from the website, I don't see that they say you can use the SATA as regular IDE drives...they are part of the raid controller period...the misconception comes by thinking it's used like we use a regular IDE but you have to create an array as I said in order to use them...you can select one of the raid drives to use as a boot drive via the BIOS but you have to enable the drive in the raid setup before it's accessible thus creating a seemingly IDE device...I don't have any SATA drives here atm so wasn't able to test this part of the MB yet...and I've beat my board into submission now and have to RMA it from doing so much testing with it...if I do get another one I'll see about getting a SATA drive and see what it does when I load the drivers for the raid in a non-raid setup and post my results...I agree that they don't explain it well either but I've never thought the manuals were written the best for most boards out there since English isn't their first language...something gets lost in the interpretation unfortunately heheheh The raid doesn't support opticals at all so that's not an option here...
Hope that helps...

BIOS failure at startup K7N2G-ILSR

I have just put together a new machine with a K7N2G-ILSR motherboard, an Athlon 2500+ processor, and an IDE disc, not much more than that. At startup, I get the first MSI screen, but when the BIOS screen is then shown, it disappears after about half a second. Instead I get a new screen "Scanning IDE drives", which after about a second gives the message: "No drive attached to Fast Trak controller, The BIOS is not installed".
I cleared the CMOS, and then I actually got the BIOS screen (because it said CMOD CRC error), but the next time I restarted the machine I was back with the same problem as before.
It is possible to enter BIOS setup if I press delete at exactly the right time when the BIOS screen flicker, but I have not find any configuration that would help. Further, after I cleared the CMOS, now my processor is not recognized in detail, it just says AMD Athlon. Before I did that, it actually said Athlon 2500+, how do I make it identify it exectly?
I would really appreciate any advice.
Thanks!

Well, the manual does not say a word about the "fast trak controller" is, and it is not clear what kind of drives that are referred to in that error message. Is this only about Serial ATA drives, or what?
What I have now figured out is that the POST screen (where it is said that DEL will take you to bios) will never appear if the full start MSI screen is enabled, which it is by default. The manual does not say a single word about this, but it refers to the POST screen as the first screen, where one can invoke the bios setup.

try reconnecting the SATA cable, or connect it to the other port. try another SATA cable. try another power connector. try that drive in another system

Board killed after changing FSB? K7N2G-ILSR

I have a K7N2G-LISR. After I changed the FSB which was at 100MHz by default, the D-Bracket showed that the CPU was damaged. I cleared the CMOS and than it showed damaged memory. I tryed the RAM and the CPU with another PC and both were OK.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Try to set J10 back to safe mode (100mhz) after reset the BIOS then turn it on. If it boots set J10 to 133mhz.
