Phisical dementions of the NX7600GT Diamond Plus, NX7600GS-MTD256E

Hi there. Does anybody know phisical dementions of the NX7600GT Diamond Plus and NX7600GS-MTD256E? I'am starting to build my HTPC and have concerns how long those cards are and if they will fit in my Zalman 160 case? Thank you in advance for respond.

Funbringer,
Here is the NX7600GS-MTD256E.
If you look at the picture, you can measure the PCI-E Slot vs the picture to give you the dimentions:
Take Care,

NX7600GT Diamond Plus Questions

Hey Everyone,
My questions today are about the NX7600GT Diamond Plus video card. I am thinking about building a Home Theater PC and I was looking at the MSI 7600GT Diamond Plus card, because of the HDMI port. Does this port besides carrying video carry sound as well? if so what kind is it, 2 CH, Digital, etc.? If it doesn't any recommends on cards that will carry very good sound quality out? Also, are there any benefits to having two of these cards instead of one, other then having two 7600 GTs for playing games? Finally, if I play a DVD on my computer(which is encrypted) and run the HDMI cable from the card to a DVD player/recorder, will I be able to record the movie or will copyright bs problems occur? Sry for all the noob questions, but I am new to the HTPC arena.
Thanks

Hello
I currently own this card and might be able to answer your questions.
This card will send digital S/PDIF sound through the hdmi port if your motherboard or sound card has spdif cababilities. This can be done one of two ways. Option A: If you have an internal header off of your mobo/soundcard you can use the supplied internal spdif cable. Option B: If you don't have an internal header (I don't and use this method) you can use the supplied RCA pass-through cable conecting the RCA end to your spdif out and the other end to the VGA. Aside from being able to SLI them and increase the performance of some programs there is no advantage to having two as you will only be able to use the ports on one.
I'm not entirely sure about being able to copy a movie. I wasn't aware that there were any DVD recorders with HDMI inputs on the market. If you have a standard definition DVD (not Blue-ray or HD-DVD) you probably shouldn't run into any copyright problems. However I've found that many DVDs will refuse to play on my computer if a TV out port is activated, you may or may not run into this with the HDMI port. This isn't card specific, from talking with tech support this is apparently present on all nvidia 7-series cards.
Overall I was really impressed with how this card handled the digital sound, but was not impressed with the quality of the HDMI video signal. The signal was being overscanned, and looked horrible in comparison to the analogue signal from my card. This is really no surprise considering this is the first ever HDMI card. Theres always going to be bugs at first. If you're planning on building an HTPC I would suggest using the plain old RGB (15 pin analogue) if your HDTV has the input (most do). You won't run into any DRM restrictions using this method and the quality difference (versus DVI) is hardly, if at all, noticable on today's HDTVs and projectors.

Losing signal to TV – NX7600GT Diamond Plus

I hope somebody in here can help me.
I got my new GFX a month ago, which is a NX7600GT Diamond Plus – chosen because it has a HDMI port.
Now I’m trying to get card working with both my monitor and TV, which is not going according to plans. I’m using the newest NVIDIA driver for Vista Home Premium that has found my TV ones, but still no picture on the TV. When trying again I can’t get NVIDIA to find my TV at all.
Actual it can get the TV to show the boot of the computer, but when Windows takes over the TV loses the signal.
Why can’t the TV be found and why can it not display the signal from the GFX card?
Looking forward hearing from you.
JB:-)

Does it work when using XP?
Could be a Vista problem.
The machine I'm using now is newly build, and have nothing else then Vista installed on it - so no Win XP try.
Anyway it can not be Vista, because MSI has certified the card to Vista, so it have to be something else.

2 'problems' with the K8N Diamond Plus

Hi there.
I just bought a K8N Diamond Plus and I'm having some troubles installing my system in conjunction to my Decklink Extreme PCI-E ( http://www.decklink.com/products/sd/ ).
Here's my configuration:
MSI K8N Diamond Plus
AMD64 X2 4400+
ROSEWILL 6600GT PCI-E VGA
Decklink Extreme PCI-E
2GB RAM ( 2 x 1gb) Kingston
OCZ-520 12U Modstream Power Supply
plus 6 HD's (7200rpm) and 1 DVD-+RW
The problem is, when I try to initialize the system with the Decklink, which it's a PCI-E 1x, it just don't boot. Neither putting the Decklink on the 1x, nor in the 4x slot and nor in the 16x.
The Decklink is working just fine in another system and doesn't seem to be a problem with this card.
I wondered if there's any limitation in the K8N Diamond Plus with working with the ROSEWILL 6600GT PCI-E VGA plus the Decklink.
=======================
The other thig is that when I take off the Decklink, the system boots normaly but a message appears while booting: "Not enough space to copy PCI option ROM 00:13:00".
And I don't have a clue about what's going on.
=======================
Please enlighten me with this questions if possible.
Thank you very much.
Greets.

Remove the battery away for 10 minutes, clear CMOS, start the system to load setup/optimized defauts in bios setup. After that, disable all onboard items in bios setup that you won't to use. Save and exit.
Plug ROSEWILL 6600GT PCI-E VGA card, and start your system to check if there is the error message. If there is, borrow another brand VGA card to do a test.
Besides, update your MB bios and driver version to the latest one.

Water cooling and the K8N Diamond Plus...

I have a water cooled DFI mobo atm and I want to change it to the K8N Diamond Plus and I noticed that the board has a heat pipe on the northchip and on some other component. My question is this; I want to put a water block on the northchip but I don't know if I can. Can I safely remove the heat pipe setup to put a water block on the north chip and if I do what about the other component that the heatpipe was covering? I hope I wasn't to confusing in the explanation.

Hello !!
You will need two Waterblocks, one for the north- second one for the southbridge.
There should be no Problems mounting the blocks if the mounting holes fit the mainboard.
You can easily remove the Heatpipe. You have to squeeze those nipples togehter tha are on the backside of the board. You can do it manually but you can also use a cylindric tool to squeeze them together. I cut a plastic pen i the half, and pushed it on those mounting latches carefully.
___|\ half pen
latch___ <----

After this procedure the Heatpipe is only held from the thermal grease on the chipset.

NX7600GT Diamond Plus and fan speed with Dual Core Center

I just got a NX 7600GT Diamond Plus for my HTPC. I noted that Riva Tuner and other utilities are not able to control the fan speed of the video card. The only way one can control the fan speed is via Dual Core Center and 3D Core Cell. The problem is that the default setting for fan speed on Dual Core Center is too high and clearly audible. How can I get Dual Core Center to start with user defined presets during windows start-up/boot-up ?
What I want to do is to put the fan into 'SILENT' mode automatically during Dual Core Center start-up. Any ideas / suggestions ?

Quote from: BOSSKILLER on 17-January-07, 00:44:11
well no need to edit manually, MSI provided everythink in easy way from core center.
select advanced mode, create your custom profile pickup your desired settings,(setup maximum FAN RPM via buttons) and save it to custom profile.
suggest you to read help section from program.
So the custom profile is automatically loaded every time DualCoreCenter starts up ? Maybe there is something wrong with my install of DCC, I cannot get it to load custom profiles automatically upon startup. I can save the changes to say "User Profile 1" but the profile active on startup always is the "default" profile ...

Where are the K8N Diamond Plus Boards

I ordered my board from Tiger Last week. Was told they on back orderd...
Went to newegg.com .... out of stock.
Checked about 3 other places I go and they are out of stock. I want a retail box for the MSI Warrantee and all the extras they give you with the board.
Is there a problem with production??

Quote from: Bas on 09-June-06, 23:36:29
Those are not OEM....no way....as MSI doesn't make Diamond Plus OEM boards.....
However, MSI does warrant those boards in full if you can show a proof-of-purchase.
These are NOT OEM.
Anyway, if you don't need the cables and stuff, it's a good deal.
OEM boards have different numbers and BIOS, they are not the same.
If what you said is true, and if I could "buy" the plate for the back of the computer I would do it.
Here is my last chat with Newegg.com
Chat InformationPlease wait while we connect you to a Newegg representative. You are number 2 in the queue.
Chat InformationThank you for contacting Newegg. My name is Allen. How may I assist you today?
Tim: Item #: N82E16813130037R says OEM but MSI does NOT make this board in an OEM version. Is it just safe to assume they are open boxes or retruns?
Allen: this is an open box item/refurbished
Tim: ok, is it possable then that it would come with all the cables and stuff?
Allen: no Sir, just by itself
Allen: has only 15 days for a refund
Allen: no guaranty from manufacturer
Tim: would it be coverd by the MSI 3 year warantee
Allen: I am afraid no
Tim: errr. and if you send it back for a refund is there a "restocking fee?"
Allen: contact us with a reason and we will waive that fee for you
Tim: thanks for your time Allen
Allen: Welcome

Looking to Purchase the KN8 Diamond Plus

Wife is being generous this year and allowing me to have our tax refund to build a budge machine which will be mostly geared towards gaming. One question I have about the above Mobo is on newegg is states it has 2x16 PCIE whereas the MSI site lists it as 1x16. Which is correct? The system I have configured and am looking at purchasing is with the following hardware
KN8 Diamond +
AMD Athlon 62 3700+ SanDiego
2 each MSI NX7800GT-VT2D256E cards
OCZ Titanium 2GB (2x1GB) DDR SDRAM 400 3-2-3-5
and finally 2 SATA 2 Drives. Right now looking at Seagate but am open to suggestions. The rest of the hardware will come from a previous machine. I have the Thermaltake 560 W w/Active PFC at present and can upgrade this if it needs to be.
Thanks for any help/suggestions

As for the PCI-E they are both 16X on the Plus, not that it matters since there is more bandwidth then any current Vid Card can use, so there is little difference in performance.
No doubt.
Single card AGP bus isn't that close to being saturated either. No matter what the card companies would have you think.
Must not be that close - because speculation is high that Nvidia is supposedly going to release a 7800 series card for AGP sometime in February....
Whether or not this actually happens & just how much they "cripple" it like the AGP version of the 6800GS remains to be seen.

Is the 7600GT Diamond Plus really HDCP ?

Rumors says that the card is NOT HDCP Compliant, could someone clarify this please ?

Let me quote so you won't have to actually read their page at MSI. LOL
"Geforce 7600GT Chipset Features
• HDMI - High Definition Multimedia Interface Support
HDMI is a new interface standard for PCs, displays and consumer electronics devices that supports standard, enhanced and high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It enables your PC to transmit all HDTV standards that combine HDCP-protected video at resolutions up to 1080p and 8-channel digital audio with 5 Gbps of bandwidth provided."

NX7600GT Diamond Plus - Dual Monitor Problem

Hi Folks
I have the above card on XP SP3 running the latest nvidia drivers - never had MSI drivers on this installation. Both monitors have the correct drivers installed.
I just bought a lovely 24" HDMI monitor and was hoping to have it running with my existing DVI LCD monitor.
The 24" is connected by the HDMI cable, 19" LCD is on the DVI connection.
Thing is I cannot get an extended desktop option (I presume this is Dualview in nVidia speak). It just doesn't exist for me! The only thing I can manage is a Clone view, or single display.
I've tried running the dual display wizard and setting to force TV detection thing, but nothing seems to give me the extend desktop or dualview option.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong please. I've had a search of these forums and the net and I can't find anyone having the same problems!
Thanks for any help
Balders
edit...Sorry for stating the bleeding obvious, but for anyone who doesn't know (it's pretty old) this is the card with only one DVI output and one HDMI output.

Well!
Just to let you know I did exactly the same thing as I did last night, except this time it worked!
God knows! Must have been one of them there gremlins!

NX7600GT Diamond Plus & PowerDVD Ultra

Hello,
While watching HD-DVD movies with Cyberlink PowerDVD Ultra, I get a thin green line on the bottom of the picture. A friend of mine, with the same graphic card, has the same probleme. Is it a known issue ? Thanks.
Best regards,
Guyome.

Quote from: guyome on 22-February-07, 07:32:43
This line exists in all HD-DVD movies played back with PowerDVD Ultra.
It is not possible it comes from my projector, since this line does not exist with an ATI card.
It is visible all the time.
It is always the last bottom line.
Best regards,
Guyome.
get Driver Cleaner and remove currently VGA drivers, then install those:(Approved from Nvidia & Cyberlink Advisor as HD DVD ready)

Hi,
I'm having trouble connecting the SPDIF cable (orange & black leads) to my MSI Q965MDO SPDIF motherboard header. I have three pins on the SPDIF motherboard header GND, SPDIF and VCC. Basically I need to know which way round to connect the orange and black leads to GND, SPDIF or VCC.
Cheers,
Frenchie

you have resolved the problem?
this is my problem:https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=103159.0

Apparently the K8N Diamond Plus doesn't exist.

Something's wrong here...
...But at least they've got cool blinking arrows next to the selection tree!
I'm so sick of companies that live in fantasyland...

MSI K8N Diamond Plus - Guide to my first week

OK, not a newb here, but been around the block quite a bit. MSI K8N Diamond Plus is my 5th A64 mobo (ECS K8M800, my daily undestroyed computer, K8T800, my 12 year olds gamer, Asus A8V Deluxe, first 939 system, Abit AN8 SLI, first SLI gamer, and now the MSI Diamond Plus). Had the KDP (K8N Diamond Plus) for more than a week now, and here's what I've learned.
This is state of the art again, and we have no one to blame but ourselves for the pain this causes us when we upgrade like lunatics
And as usual, the drivers and BIOS are al Dente (i.e. not cooked enought yet, a little raw)
MSI is also oddly silent on this system, which is wierd, as they are a large company, and specifically cater to enthusiasts. But their BIOS guys are MIA. Hopefully this will not be forever. Asus, ABIT, DFI, Epox are always fast with fixes
The board is a nice design, with everything basically accessible, as much as any other board. Lots of purposeful components, not too many dumb frills. No tooty fruity colors, but rather practical parts.
The new 2 piece NForce chipset is fine, and the MSI guys gave us a decent, but funky cooler. It gets a little warm to the touch when you pound on it with Prime95, or Quake4, but other than that it is fine
The manual has a zillion typos, and fortunately for us in this forum, we have shared what we've learned. The translation from Chinese to English leaves quite a bit to be desired, and hopefully, MSI will learn from Asus and Abit and get a better translation service. In 2006 this is just plain stupid, especially with a $225 board
As usual, the mobo supplied tweaker utilities are just aweful. They look like a hallucination from a Hunter S Thompson book, and they work about as well. Core center is a sad state of affairs, and the rest of them just burrow their way into your otherwise stable system and cause it to have poor behavior. And therefore as usual, the BIOS is the best way, if slowest, to tweak this bundle of parts
Which brings us to the BIOS. IMHO, the worst one I've seen on a high end board. ZERO explanation for half the settings (this is not strange in and of itself, BIOS is still a black art, but in a tweakers board, we should have some basic explanation )
There seem to be adequate settings in the BIOS for all sorts of doodads and gizmos, but who the heck knows what half of them are. Roger points out rightfully, that we now need to "Tune" across all these different intermediary bus structures and test. But with the lack of info from either NVidia, MSI or anyone else for that matter, its kinda hard to know where to start.
The board is clearly sensitive, which is a result of it being high strung. This is no different than any "first out" product I've ever bought. Most take 2 or 3 turns of the crank to get totally stable and forgiving. This one hated my OCZ platinum EL 2Gb kit memory, and it brought out the worst in one of the SLI based EVGA 7800 GT COs. These components worked in the Abit AN8 SLI (although not always great), but the MSI has ZERO tolerance for even the slightest pertubation from the memory. It was BSOD city until I removed both of these components by process of elimination that took probably 100 hours
Once I removed the bad components, and replaced the memory with Geil Ultra X 2x512 2-2-2-5, it worked great, ran Prime95 for 10 hours with no errors, and seems reasonably stable. I've RMA-d the bad 7800GT CO back to EVGA, and will report back on how SLI behaves when I get the new one (cross shipped of course, I haveno patience )
I also now need to replace the 2Gb RAM kit with something that the board will tolerate. I may RMA the 2Gb kit back to OCZ and try another one, but I dunno. I love OCZ but I have a bad feeling about this, even though they have great!!! support. I may try OCZ PC4000 or the RAM that Roger successfully used.
I did upgrade to the 1.16 BIOS, and found that some new things were added, as well as voltage control in Cell was a little better, but registration of changes in voltage is still a disaster. I adjusted a bunch of times, it didn't register, and I ended up smoking a new A64 3700+ Diego with 1.95 volts, even though the BIOS claimed it was 1.53. I had to rebot to see what was going on. The Thermalright XP-90 kept the proc from melting down through the earth
Finally, I hope this board attracts more people, and therefore more tweakers that can figure out all these gadgets and settings. Everyone flocked to the Asus X16 SLI product, which is too bad, as this one needs lots o' folks to hack it up for us to figure out what is going on.
The on board Creative audio sounds lousy to my ears, and I will replace it with an Audigy 2ZS gamer that I had in the Abit. It just sounds better, but hopefully the drivers will not trash my newly stable system. Creative scares me, they scare me alot.
I've been able to get the CPU up to 2.4Ghz, with a .5 volt bump to the CPU and 2.9 volts into the Geil memory. So far, so stable, no smoke coming out yet
I hope this info is somewhat valuable to someone on this board. I will post details of all changes that I make, as others are doing, so we can at least take care of ourselves with this thing.

first of all, i do think that all the settings in the BIOS have an explanation in the manual, even if it's a basic one. if that explanation doesn't tell you everything in detail, is because if you do need a detailed explanation of the settings, you probably shouldn't be messing around with those settings.

a 0.5V bump? again, you must be joking. maybe 0.05V.
