Question for K7D Master-L owners

what heatsink are you using for your K7D Master-L ?
im in the market to obtain one of these in a short period of time and am looking for sugestions on heatsinks that will fit.
any feedback would be appreciated.
thanks

thanks for the reply Bas
i was looking to put the Thermalright SK-7 on it, but it measure 85mm long...not sure if it would fit.

  • Driver cd for k7d master

    I lost the driver cd for k7d master.  I tried to use the driver downloaded from MSI website, but I still need such as Audio driver, and USB 2.0 driver.  So I just wondering if anyone could help out (like send me a image of the CD or a link to a such file on web?)  Thank a lost in advance.

  • Questions for ipod nano 5g owners

    +Please can anybody convince me to get a 5g 16 gigs nano? I'm a bit scared to go for this new buy and sell my old 3g nano.+
    Would really appreciate if u guys can give me a feedback on these few questions. I don't intend to use the camera much at all and I don't want to play videos on it...still im a bit concerned about the battery.
    1) How is the battery quality? Experiencing any troubles?
    I do own a 3g ipod nano and the battery rocks, I can listen to some music for about 2 hours per day and go like that for a week or so. 4g ipod nano was a real lemon if compared to the 3g...wondering if the 5g is as good as the 3g or not.
    2) What about the flashy colours that have been used? Are they looking good? I honeslty really liked the satinated aluminium and the soft colouring of the 4g better.
    3) The clicking wheel is that rather thick? I do remember that the 4g nano had an incredible light clicking wheel when i was touching it it felt like it could broke if really pressed hard. 3g has not that issue, it feels very sturdy and compact.
    4) I also noticed that in many pic sonline there is a sort of a gap between the clicking wheel of the 5g and the cover of the ipod itself. Is that something that all the owners of the 5g have or there are only some bad manifactured ones out there?

    1. I haven't been able to test the battery power extensively due to the fact that I've been playing around with transferring videos from my iPod to my PC, and I just installed a hookup in my car so I could listen to it in there, and this hookup also charges the battery... BUT I did play Sudoku on it the other day while I was waiting for a pizza to cook. The timer had me clocked at 14 minutes after it was all said and done (I thought I was pausing it but it kept counting the time, and the screen never went idle). After I finished, I looked at the battery power and it had barely gone down at all, maybe a slight smidgen at most. With my 4th Gen, I could play a game of Sudoku for about 8-9 minutes and that could drain a full battery anywhere from a quarter to halfway down, so in comparison, 5th gen battery life is MUCH better then 4th gen, though I suspect I may have had a faulty battery in the old one...
    2. Personally, I love the new colors and casing on the new nano's. Very shiny.
    3. I played around with my 3rd, 4th and 5th gen to see what you ment about the click wheel. The 3rd gen is thicker, but with the 4th and 5th gen, you are dealing with a slimmer nano, so Apple most likely slimmed down the click wheel to compensate for room. My 4th gen held up well, I don't see why the 5th gen would be much different.
    4. I think any gaps you may have seen from pics might have been a trick of light and shadow. All Nanos have extremely tiny spaces between the click wheel and the casing if you look close enough. For the 5th gen, I think it might be the aluminum finish, and that the click wheel is raised ever so slightly on each side, that makes the gap on that nano seem larger then it really is.
    I hope this helps, but of course, this is only my version, I'm sure others will put there two cents in too.

  • Question for *SIM FREE* N95 owners.

    Hi.
    If you have bought a generic SIM free version of the N95 with no network branding please post the colour of your handset and your product code (underneath IMEI on label underneath battery, also listed on the label on your nokia box)
    I am trying to compile a list of the different product codes.
    cheers

    Sent the Orange back as it did not do VOIP which they assured me it would DOH
    Now got a Sim Free unbranded not locked Light Graphite N95
    (silver to me and you) Still on Orange with same contract just sim free so it can do VOIP
    What is the product Code 0548364 its not the generic Euro 1 and the software update was very late compared to some sim frees
    The box was unbranded as is the phone with no branded software i can see just one small code on the box starting cpw I guess is Carphone warehouse UK SO I would guess it could be the UK sim free rather than the European sim free?
    What is the O2 software so if I can see if its part of that
    But after the update to 6.11 there is still no branding
    I chose it for the colour dont like the plum or sand
    any ideas product Code 0548364 and why the update is so far behind the others?

  • WM9 5.1 audio capable soundcard for K7D Master L

    I am looking for a sound card that can utilize Windows Media 9 5.1 surround sound, and that is capable of running fine on dual boards. This leaves the Creative Soundblasters out in the cold.
    From MS site I can see that Turtle Beach Santa Cruz is supporting 5.1 and the high end M-Audio cards (not Audiophile 2496 though..)
    Are there any other cards that supports WM9 5.1 surround, e.g Hercules or Terratec cards? And that runs fine on dual systems?

  • K7D Master L & Promise FastTrak SX4000 boot hang

    I am having major trouble getting a Promise FastTrak SX4000 RAID controller to work with a K7D Master-L (MSI-6501-030). I would appreciate any and all input, especially from those of you who have similar or identical hardware (same motherboard/chipset, same RAID controller or similar Promise card) and are able to get them working.
    Brief description :
    The SX4000 controller will hang at the IDE drive detection stage when installed on this board alone (plus an AGP video card) or alongside various combinations of PCI adapters, in various PCI slots available, and using various BIOS settings. The SX4000 appears to work fine in another Intel chipset system with the same AGP video cards. Both the motherboard and the SX4000 controller appear to have the latest BIOSes available.
    Symptoms :
    When the system is turned on with the SX4000 controller installed, it completes POST successfully, then loads the Promise FastTrak BIOS from the SX4000, and stalls after displaying "Scanning for IDE drives". Waiting for extended periods of time verifies the system is just 'stuck' here. It appears to be a 'hang' rather than a 'freeze', since the keyboard continues to operate and Ctrl-Alt-Del will still reboot the system at this point. The D-LED diagnostic LED bracket indicates (according to the included user manual), the system is at the "Initializing Hard Drive Controller" stage at this point.
    The system continues to boot fine if the SX4000 controller is not installed.
    The SX4000 controller functions fine on another system, a Dell OptiPlex GX400--a Pentium 4-based system built around the Intel i850 chipset. This OptiPlex GX400 has only a TNT RIVA 128 AGP video card installed, but has built-in audio and NIC. The SX4000 controller also works in this system using a GeForce2 MX TwinView AGP video card as well as a GeForce FX5600 AGP video card. It does not work on the K7D Master-L with either card, with the following exception. With only the TNT RIVA 128 AGP video card, it will in fact scan for IDE drives (indicated by ~10 - 15 dots/periods, ".", displayed after the "Scanning for IDE drives" message), but then will also hang as soon as the scan is complete without additional messages.
    All of the above is true whether hard disks are connected to the SX4000 controller or not.
    Disclaimer : I am not a newbie. I've built hundreds of systems over the past 10 years and know what I am talking about. :)
    What I have tried so far, and what I've been able to determine :
    I have gone through quite a bit of research about this. I've tried both Promise and MSI Web sites (both US and Taiwan), the Web at large through Google, as well as various newsgroups including alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.msi-microstar through Google, the MSI forums on their Web site, the AMDMB Forums, 2CPU forums, HardForum, AnandTech Forums, SysOpt forums, and Tom's Hardware Community. While there are many posts about the AMD 760MPX chipsets and various Promise RAID and non-RAID IDE controller cards, none describes my problem exactly. Hence my posting here.
    o There isn't a problem with the DIMM I am using on the SX4000. It's a 256 MB PC133 DIMM, with 8 HT33S328256K (32Mx8) DRAM chips on it. I am certain it's not a problem because the card works as expected in the Dell OptiPlex GX400 with the same DIMM. I have also tried a 64 MB PC100 DIMM (Crucial) and there is no difference--the SX4000 controller hangs the K7D Master-L, but works with the OptiPlex GX400.
    o Moving the card around to different PCI slots on the K7D Master-L doesn't make a difference, if only so to avoid a problem with a shared interrupt. I have tried the board in all 5 available PCI slots--the upper two 66MHz/64-bit PCI slots as well as the lower three 33MHz/32-bit PCI slots. I have looked at the IRQ assignment scheme for this board, and tried putting the SX4000 (alone or with other PCI cards--see configuration info at the end) in the first PCI slot, next to the AGP slot such that it doesn't share an IRQ with the video card. No luck. I have also tried the lowest PCI slot (#5), which should have a distinct IRQ ideally, based on the above scheme, but that also makes no difference.
    o Disabling various components, including all on-board peripherals (audio, LAN, serial, parallel, and USB ports, legacy USB emulation, ACPI), disabling all caching/shadowing (video/system BIOS) makes no difference.
    o The SX4000 controller came with the latest available BIOS according to the Promise Web site (http://www.promise.com/support/download/download2_eng.asp?productId=94&category=All&os=100), v1.02.0.5. Just for the hell of it, I copied the controller BIOS from the flash ROM to an image using Promise's own PFLASH.EXE utility and file-compared it with the latest BIOS on the Web site to ensure they are exactly the same.
    o The K7D Master-L came with BIOS v1.6, which, according to MSI's US (search for the K7D Master L) or Taiwanese (lists a v1.82, but I am hesitant since it doesn't recommend or caution against using it on the -L model of the motherboard) Web sites is not available. These list either v1.3 or v1.5 (the latter for the K7D Master) as the latest available that I can verify for K7D Master-L.
    o I tried downgrading the SX4000 controller BIOS to the other, earlier one available on the Promise Web site, to v1.01.0.15. No changes. The card still doesn't work in any slot on the K7D Master-L, and works fine in any slot on the OptiPlex GX400.
    o There *are* people on these forums who have similar systems, some with the same motherboard and controller, others with the same motherboard and similar cards like the FastTrak SX6000 who apparently are able to make it work. I know this only because they have open threads on other issues and happen to provide their configuration info. For example:
    --same mobo and controller card, apparently working as reported problems are other issues--

    --same mobo, very similar controller card--this person first asked on MSI forums and then walked the AMDMB, Tom's Hardware forums, with no response except a supposed "will not work" from MSI; the last one is another person describing my exact problem I think--only one so far--but with an SX6000--

    What I have not done :
    o I have not tried downgrading the BIOS on the K7D Master-L to an earlier (pre-1.6) version. I don't know if this is wise, though, considering this appears to be a newer (with working USB 1.x) revision of the motherboard that might minimally need the BIOS currently on it.
    o I have not tried another SX4000 controller card, which I do not have. However, the card working fine on the OptiPlex GX400 indicates to me clearly that there isn't a functional problem per se on the card itself.
    o No components are overclocked.
    What I suspect :
    o The fact that the two GeForce-based cards behave slightly differently than the TNT RIVA 128 (see above about how the hang occurs slightly later with the latter card) indicates to me that the problem is some combination of the motherboard, RAID controller, and video card conflicting (conspiring?) together. I am looking for the plainest AGP video card I have around to further test this.
    o There appears to be a resource conflict *or* a BIOS/handover problem going on. It's not likely an IRQ conflict/sharing issue, since on the OptiPlex GX400, the SX4000 happily shares an IRQ with the video card (verified through the BIOS). The resources the SX4000 uses when on the OptiPlex GX400, as seen through its own BIOS/array utility are:
    Installed Memory Address FF1F8000   Size 256M
    Controller IRQ9
    ATA IO Address EC00
    XOR and HDMA IO Address E800
    Sequence Control IO Address E400
    Flash and SRAM Memory Address FF200000
    I do not know which of these are retained as is when in the K7D Master-L (the IRQ certainly isn't necessarily retained, but don't know about the rest). I also am not able to easily check for a conflict with these. I can verify that as Windows XP can see it (which does assign its own resources via ACPI, of course,) there are not system or motherboard resources overlapping with any of these.
    Also note this older K7T issue that may be relevant
    What I need help with :
    If you have a K7D Master-L and an SX4000, SX6000, or other similar Promise controller, please let me know how your system is configured.
    What other peripherals, particularly video card do you have?
    Which slots are all the cards in, particularly the SX4000?
    What BIOS version of the K7D Master-L are you using?
    What BIOS version is the SX4000?
    Many thanks in advance,
    MacGyver

    Hi, I believe of having your same problem..sorry, I do not speak well English,
    this is my system:
    Mainboard Microstar MSI K7D MasterL chipset AMD 761MPX
    CPU dual AMD MP2400+
    RAM 2x512 Corsair  pc2100 ECC Reg.
    Primary Master  DVD Rom Toshiba SD-M1712

    LAN ONBOARD INTEL
    IRQ 11
    RAID 5
    BIOS FASTRACK SX4000 1.02.0.5
    RAM Dimm 256Mb (test OK)
    this is my problem:
    1) the HD in master or slave the HD do not come recognized from the bios of the fastrack..HD not found..control cables ide or current
    2) cable select or removing jumper from the HD the these they come recognized, it allows to make the Array (tried raid 5, 0 and the 1) ago boot of the fastrack but at the moment of the boot from floppy or cd rom (as from bios of the mainboard) remains the underscore that flashes. The PC is not of an all out..con ctrl+alt+del reboot.
    3) tried to use also only 2 of aforesaid the HD, invert channel, user also channel 4, same problems
    4) it recognizes the HD in master if I mount cables IDE to the contrary.. with the blue connector on the HD..ma remains problem of the boot from floppy or cd
    5) I have tried to install others 2 not new HD (samsung 6,4 Gb + seagate4,6 Gb)..il fastrack recognizes them also in master..it allows the Array in raid 0 or raid1 but it remains the problem of the boot from floppy or cd.
    6) tried to move fastrack on other slot Pci (also on one of those to 33Mhz) identical problems
    7) bios mainboard all ok..also why if I do not make array..part the boot from floppy or cdrom..also if then to the fine ones it says nonexistent disc to me (lacks the Array..)
    8) changed to cables courrent..do not creed is that one the problem..Enermax 460W..e then if septum in a determined way jumper the recognized HD
    9) modernized bios..le tests son been made it is with that old one that with last (the 1.02.0.5)
    10)  tried to use other cable 80 pin connecting a single HD WD in master..l' HD it is not recognized!
    11) tried also to detach controller USB
    12) moved reader DVD in primary slave and also in secondary (it is master that slave)
    13) mounted same fastrack SX4000 on other pc..same problems
    14) I have modernized bios to version 1,3 (last the available on the site US..on the taiwanese site is version 1,82 but I do not trust myself)
    15) I do not know what other to make!
    I have read on the situated one that not there were problems of incompatible with my Mainboard and was compatible with HD Western WD0800BB (80 GB and 2 Digital Mb of buffer) and with WD1200JB (120Gb and 8 Mb of buffer)..i 8 WD0800JB are 80Gb and have Mb of buffer..but creed are not a problem of HD..inasmuch as the problems remain also changing discs (seagate and samsung).
    I absolutely have need of this PC for job
    if it finds one solution..please it makes to know me! ;(  thanks

  • K7D Master CPU Question

    Hello
    I have a K7D Master with dual 2100+ CPUs, 1GB ram, BIOS v1.82. It started having problems so I sent it back to MSI for repair. When I got it back and started to put it together I noticed that I damaged one of the processors. I looked on pricewatch and saw that a new 2800+ is only $40 more then a 2100+. Can I run the board with a 2800+ in the primary socket and the other 2100+ in the secondary socket. If so, I assume that they will run no faster then the 2100+, however, I would upgrade the other 2100 shortly after. I have to pay tuition this month so I can't buy both 28's right now.
    Also I tried to run the board with the one good processor in the primary socket but the computer won't boot. Does any one know why this would happen?
    Thanks

  • Question for C6-01 owners

    Hello.  I just received shipment of a C6-01 from Nokia.  I like it... build feels good, it seems as good as all the Nokia phones I've had before.  But I have a question for those who have the C6-01.  When you look at the camera on the back of the phone, is the LED flash mounted at a slightly different angle than the camera lens?  On this new phone it looks like the flash is on slightly different plane.  If you would look at your phone and tell me if this is consistent I would appreciate it... I want to make sure this one's not damaged.

    Hard to show in pic... hopefully you'll get the idea.

  • Question for S10-3t owners

    Hi Folks,
    I'm seriously considering purchasing an S10-3t, but I have a question for you.
    Is there a reason everyone is choosing the low-end model?
    I'm looking at the one with 2 GB, faster processor, larger hard drive, Windows 7HP, Bluetooth.
    I've priced it out and it is about $110 more than the best price I've seen for the low end model ($399). It seems like the price difference is probably worth it.
    Note: I am pricing it out with and additional 8 cell battery to go with the 4 cell it comes with, and there is currently a 15% off promotion until June 3
    Faster processor:  $10?
    Extra memory:  $30
    Windows 7 HP upgrade:  $80 (according to Microsoft)
    Bluetooth:  $15-30+ (Seems really handy for 3G tethering and/or external peripherals)
    Anyone else have any thoughts on this?
    Thanks!

    The following is from a post I put on the forum on March 17.   The prices shown is what the models cost at that time. 
    I originally bouth the S10-3T with the N450 chip and 8 cell battery from a retail store in US. I returned the unit to the store and opted for the S10-3T with N470 chip and 4 cell battery. Lenovo includes Windows Home Premium and Bluetooth.
    I bought the 8 cell battery as I was not sure which I would prefer. The 4 cell battery is nice because its flush with unit. Its good for me during my daily commute. The 8 cell battery is definitely needed for long trips. The 8 cell sticks out and is personal choice if you like the added bulkiness.
    Prior to returning the N450 model, I recorded the Windows Indexing results and ran Geekbench. For those deciding which model to purchase below is a benchmark and average price comparison of both machines.

    I'm hoping someone with T20s can answer a simple question for me. When you have two different sources plugged into the main input and the aux input, do you hear both mixed together? Or, does plugging in the aux "cut off" the main input? I've got two computers and I'd like to pipe both into just one set of speakers, and I've heard using reverse splitter adapters is a bad idea. All help is appreciated. Thanks! :-)

    I'm not an audio expert but here goes. The aux does not cut off the primary input for the speaker, and you can hear both sources at once. (I have my laptop plugged into the rear and an MP3 player feeding the aux input)? I don't know that it's really a great idea since you could probably overload the speakers quickly if both sources are playing, even with transient spikes, but if you keep the volume reasonable, it probably may work fine. Best of luck.

  • MSI K7D Master-L & 3ware 7506-4LP boot hang

    I recently purchased a 3ware Escalade 7506-4LP RAID Controller (IDE, 4 ports - see product info here) for use with my MSI K7D Master-L (MSI-6501-030 - see product info here) to replace my Promise FastTrak100 TX4. On boot, the system POSTs fine, and then freezes solid at the point at which it should load the BIOS for the 3ware controller. I get nothing but a blank screen with a blinking cursor in the top left hand corner, and a hard reset (CTRL-ALT-DEL doesn't work) is required to to reset the machine. The diagnostic LEDs on the motherboard indicate it's freezing at the point where it is "Initializing IDE controller".
    What I have tried:
    - Verified BIOS on RAID card was latest version (1.08.00.048)
    - Removed all PCI cards (except for RAID controller and video card)
    - Adding 33 MHz PCI cards to 64/66 PCI slot to slow down bus
    - Tried RAID controller in each PCI slot
    - Flashed the motherboard BIOS to 3 different versions, 1.91, 1.82, and 1.5 (which the motherboard was validated for use with this card on - see here)
    - Tried various BIOS settings (ACPI on/off, PCI Latency, etc)
    - Disabled all onboard devices (sound, ide, fdc, serial, parallel, etc.)
    - Detached all drives from card
    - Tested card in another computer to verify it works - it does.
    I have noticed some people on this forum have had similar problems with SCSI or RAID cards:
