RAM type for MSI K7D Master?

Hello,
I am looking to purchase the K7D Master and I was wondering what kind of RAM to purchase for it. Can I use PC2700 DDR or will that just waste my money considering the clock speed of the board is 266MHz and the clock speed of PC2700 is 333MHz.
TIA
Axle

I just read in this thread that someone made the XMS memory work in the K7D Master L. Check out this thread:K7D Master L MPX boot issue
Too bad I did not know how to make it work 4 weeks ago... ;(

MSI K7D MAster and ram?

I have a MSI K7D Master motherboard, with dual athlon mp2200+, i had 2 sticks of unbuffered 256mb PC2100 ddr in the 1st two slots all thsi while, and last week i got 4 sticks of 256mb PC2100 DDR ECC-Registered ram, and when i put all four in, and boot up, i get a beep sound and the system wotnt boot. when i remove the sticks from slot 3 and 4, and boot up it works. anyone know the problem here? All the sticks work, i have put every single one in slots 1 and 2 to test. and help would be appreciated.
thanks

i se 2 things.
1.
psu 18a 12v is weak for 2 cpu's if it runs them from 12v line.
if it does i do not know.
2.
pc2100 memory.
i bet those cpu uses 166fsb so yuo cant run fsb / dram ratio 1:1.
can cause instability on atleast k7n2.
try to get some pc2700 memory to test with.
some stores will give you a refund if the memlry dont wornk so check first.

MSI K7D Master L - CRC Problem

Hey gang.
I've been having some CRC troubles with my MSI K7D Master L. On most occasions, I cannot perform an install from either of the cd drives--eventually a CRC error will pop up. In addition, data on the hard disks (i.e. registry settings) dissapear or are corrupted. Which sucks. ...and you can imagine how my slightly corrupted windows install is performing :(. ?(
Here's my specs:
-AMD MB 2800+ Barton (Only one CPU installed right now)
-1024 mb of Kensington ram
-ATI 9700 Pro
-Bios Version 1.3 (latest bios for Master L)
-Enermax 431watt power supply
-Creative Audigy Sound card (onboard sound disabled)
Just for reference, I've ran all the diagnostics (memtest86, and that IBM hard disk checker) and no problems show up. Only the motherboard and processor are new... all of the components, cables, drives, etc. were working well before I poped in the new MB. Of course, I started fresh with a clean formatted drive for my windows install.
I've heard that my Enermax 431 is about a 10 on the blows-O-meter. Could this be the problem? I realize that my new AMD 2800MP is prolly pulling out a bit more juice than before.
I love this motherboard, and I know that CRC errors are pretty rare on the K7D (cough, unlike some other MBs), I'd hate to have to RMA it.
Thanks in advance ,
JonnyLongTorso

Replaced the Enermax 431 supply with an Antec 550 watt unit. Still getting the errors.
Any ideas?

MSI K7D Master AMD Dual Athlon MP

OK so I've completed my first Dual Athlon and I'm getting some varied results. here's the specs:
MSI K7D Master AMD Dual Athlon MP Motherboard ATX
Dual 2400+
Antec 350W
various NVIDIA video cards
Kingston 266/512 64X64 DDR
I first tried a Wildcat 5110 but got no video, 3DLabs tells me this mobo has not been tested and cleared by them, so heads-up don't go with this mobo/video combo.
I went to NVIDIA and got video, I set the system jumper to 133MHz. I got a RAM error, change sticks (I have several of the same kind) but get the same result. After several attempts the machine boots and I install WinXP.
Now it is hit and miss sometimes I get the RAM error and the machine just sits there, sometimes it boots but the mouse doesn't work other times it seems to boot fine but the programs (3D Studio Max / Brazil) will just quit for no apparent reason. I set the BIOS to to check the RAM on start-up, it finds no errors.
I really appreciate hearing any ides or from anyone who has attempted this sort of thing before.
Liquidman

Very cool thank you.
Well I got a call back from MSI customer service, they said try going to 'Advanced chipset' and change the 'AGP Fastload' from whatever it is to the opposite state (enable vs disable) I think the default is enable. I tried that, but it was the same if not worse. I reset the BIOS, set the fsb to 100MHz flipped the 'AGP Fastload' and that, of all things worked. Giving credit to the cs department - it did not work without changeing the Fastload state.
I got the 3DS Max/serverrunning and here are some statistics:
Rendered with Brazil, tons pf polygons, reflection and refraction.
Athlon 2500XP (non-Barton) 1gig unbuffered MSI KM4M:
3 hours 15 minutes per frame.
Intel P4 2.4 533MHz fsb 1 gig unbuffered MSI 845GE (northwood)
2 hours 54 minutes minutes per frame.
K7D Master 100Mhz fsb (non-Barton) 1gig unbuffered value ram.
1 hour 15 minutes per frame.
I will try the ecc registered RAM next week. If the results are this good with the jumper set to 100MHz I really looking forward to checking out the 133MHz...
Any suggestions on brand/configuration ?

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:

MSI K7D Master

Hi!
I've a friend who has a MSI K7D Master and it doesn't boot.
Probably he give me that mother board.
Since he bought it as stock, he has no warranty.
Is it still possible to get RMA?
How much do I have to pay for replacement?
I'm from Italy.
Bye

You need to contact Tech Support via calling them in your region or emailing from the main website...

Logitech cordless optical mouse & MSI k7D-master

Hi,
just wanted to know if someone is using a logitech cordless and optical mouse around and a MSI
K7D-MASTER???
I bought one last week and put it to work, pretty nice invention I said!!!!!
it was functioning pretty well, comfortable i´d say, until that moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;( :O X( 8o ?( X(
X( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;(
The moment i decided to install the st*pid software bundle it has!!!!
MOUSEWARE 9.41.1 (windows) for Microsoft Windows:
XP, Me, 2000, 98, 95, NT 4.0
this machine runs 2 processors (athlons MP)& Wxp PRO.
I installed the software like i always do it ( put it into my cdrw and appeared the install screen) i was prompted to install the mouse software & music match too, i did it.
My machine is as follows:
K7D MASTER-L
2 Athlons MP 1600+
1024 Mb ddr ecc registered Kingston
4-80 Gb IDE barracuda 7200 rpm UATA 100 (0+4)
1-19 gb SCSI barracuda 7200 rpm ultra 160
Adaptec SCSI card 29160
Pomise Fast track 100 RAID card,0,1,0+1,JBOD
Geforce 4 Ti 4400
Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum (shuld listen how it sounds!)
Nec USB 2.0 card
Creative Encore dvd decoder card
2 Lite On cd rw 32*12*40
1 hp scsi 9600 cd rw 12*8*32 external
1 creative dvd 12 encore (reg 1 set)
Intel SC-5000 SERVER CASE (modified)
Pinnacle DV 500 DVD video capturer
Cirrus Logic serenum external modem
WinXP PRO
Linux Suse 8.0 (dual boot)
Then i was prompted to restart my machine....i did it.
then the post, the fasttrak bios, the scsi card bios, everything that my machine runs before starting..........finally the WINDOWS XP PRO screen booting up...........then suddenly a BSOD (blue screen of death), telling me that it was stopping due to new installed software or hardware, blah, blah blah stop at code 0x93c3487…. !!!....................................... ......................... 8o 8o 8o 8o 8o 8o ?( ?( ?( ?(
what the hell??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
restarted my system and entered in safe mode..........run uninstall mouseware and everything i installed.
again the post, the fasttrak bios, the scsi card bios......booted up and enter in windows like i normally do.
I wanted to restart my system once and did it, but when it restarted a small st*pid window suddenly appeared telling me i have lost my profile just like this:
"Windows cannot load your profile because it may be corrupted. Contact your administrator. "
“Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off”
“seconds until you are logged into a temporary profile…………30,29,28,27,…..,2,1,0”
it logged in ……………………all my icons, where were them????????
My programs, my work ?????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!aaaaahhhhhhh!!!!
I was insane, insane, insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;( ;( ;( ;( 8o 8o 8o 8o ;( ;( ;( ?( ?( 8o :O :O :O :O :O ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;(
I decided to use system restore…..it functioned. I have everything back ) ) ) ) ) )
I think Wxp pro, 2 processors & mouseware from Logitech are not good combination!
Logitech: I won’t buy anything from them again, the box the mouse came in has a legend telling you: over 10 million Cordless mice Sold!! (Yeah, that´s right for uni processor machines, maybe)
I ´m still learning things about my dual processor machines: they do not like everything that is designed for uniprocessor machines!!!
A dual processor machine is something fast, more than one processor has to be better in many aspects. But again, not everything is designed for a dual processor machine.
Does anyone know how to back up your profile in Wxp pro????
Any comments are welcomed!!!

Before Installing CD drivers you should always check to see if later drivers are available. The 9.6x drivers have been out for ages so go and try them.

Problems with Promise SX6000 and MSI K7D Master

There is a problem with Promise SuperTrack SX6000 controller and motheboard MSI K7D Master.
We use most fresh bios for both products - version 1.5 for motheboard and build 77 for controller.
With previous controller's bios version it can't be initialize and now after initialisation the bios of controller does not show up.
It seems to be like one of problems wich are described in controller's manual, but this problem can't be decided by user's hand, but only new version of bios, we think.
What you can help ?

No ways ?

MSI K7D master L

Have just purchased K7D master L mobo + 2 x AMD 2800+ procs with 2 x 512mB reg memory.
The problem i am having is that if i completely shutdown ie: pull the power plug from the power supply, mobo will not boot, even the fan on the power supply will not work, but if i reset the cmos battery, everything boots with no probs.
Brand new power supply has been fitted, 520w Hyperpower.
Any ideas please!!!!

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=9331
the mp 2800 is a 266 fsb cpu,the 2800 thrbrd is a 166 fsb cpu
so you should be ok if the boards bios is up to date
im afraid i cannot get the msi site to load
and i see you now have ram speeds etc in your signature
this psu ,i can find nothing on it in goggle
how much was it as there are many junk 20 dollar so called 500 watt psu now
none of which i would trust to deliver

RAM Upgrade for MSI GE70

Hello there.
I'm considering upgrade my system too. But my own has a 4th generation chipset. So, I've some questions:
1: May I use 1.35v RAM?
2: Can I know RAM type currently installed in my MSI GE70? (es.msi.com/product/nb/GE70-2OC.html#specification)
3: Is it posible to plug in two diferent RAM types?
Thanks!

Quote
1: May I use 1.35v RAM?
You MUST use 1.35v DDR3L. Mobile Haswell cpus don't work with other ram.
Quote
2: Can I know RAM type currently installed in my MSI GE70? (es.msi.com/product/nb/GE70-2OC.html#specification)
There is no general answer. This is oem ram. Any batch might use different sticks. You need to open the unit to find out what is used in your machine.

3: Is it posible to plug in two diferent RAM types?
Possible yes, recommended no. It might work fine but can cause stability issues. A matched kit is recommended.

DDR3 RAM specification for MSI Z77A-GD65

Hello MSIers ,
I am about to buy the MSI Z77A-GD65 or GD55 not sure yet ... I used Gigabyte boards for 10 years and they always state to use 1.5 volt RAM sticks ...
Now for MSI and the mention board , what voltage should I pick ? I want 2 sticks of 4GB DDR3 1600MHz and might look to faster frequencies like 2333 MHz ??? will it work with an I7 3770 right out the box (if I load XMP in BIOS) ? can lower latencies or CAS as well ?
Thanks

http://www.mushkin.com/Memory/Redline.aspx
Allot of the mushkin comes pre-under-timed (the xmp profile does anway) As that computer is an AMD platform, I need to match the xmp profile and adjust the fsb/ dram ratio to get the correct speed & timings. Both of those listed computers are quite stable.
The corsair memory I have listed has an xmp profile of 11-11-11-30, I manually under-timed that when I was tweaking. That is the lowest I could go and maintain stability.
One thing to keep in mind when you look at memory, is that almost all that you see out there is 1333 memory which has been tested and tuned (Overclocked) to w/er limit. Even ddr3-1600 you buy will by default run at 1333 as the 1600 is an XMP profile extension to the SPD. So no matter what you buy over 1333, you are most likely going to need to at minimum enable the xmp profile or at worst tinker with the speed & timings manually.
Nice .. Thank you ..
So what DDR3 freq. / timings you suggest for the best performance and stil very stable (as long as I (most likely) need to tinker a bit around the BIOS and XMP) ? I am gonna use the I7 3770 locked version CPU
You advice or against , maybe 2000 freq or more DDR3 with the Z77AGD65 ? or you advice with choosing a lower latency modules but at 1600 MHz freq like this http://www.mushkin.com/Memory/Redline/997056.aspx ?

MSI K7D master L and Linux

I just recently got a K7D master L and I have been doing some research on the mainboard while waiting for the ECC DDR memmory to arrive. During my research, I found a series of messages to the kernel.org mailing list that concerned a 'southbridge' problem with the K7D when using a USB/serial mouse instead of a PS/2 mouse ( I only have USB mice now, but i do have the little green adapter to make them PS/2 )
My question regards the progress in correcting the issue(s), which i understand is(are) an AMD 760 MPX problem.
Is there a patch or BIOS update that can work around or correct this issue in the works?
-sb

Looks like I may have found my answer here in the AMD errata.

Multiprocessor System May Hang While in FULL APIC Mode and IOAPIC Interrupt is Masked
Products Affected. B1, B2
Normal Specified Operation. The AMD-768 peripheral bus controller is designed to support FULL APIC mode in multiprocessor systems for system management events. If an interrupt is masked in the APIC controller of the AMD-768, then the corresponding interrupt message should not be sent to the processor via the 3-wire APIC bus.
Non-conformance. The AMD-768 peripheral bus controller will send an interrupt message via the 3-wire
APIC bus regardless if the interrupt is masked or not.
Potential Effect on System. Since the processor had previously masked the APIC interrupt, it is not
expecting to receive future APIC messages for the masked interrupt. The APIC controller will continuously send the interrupt message via the 3-wire bus until a processor accepts the message, causing the system to hang.
A system hang has been observed when executing a server shutdown command in Novell Netware versions 5.0 or 5.1 while using a serial mouse. During the server shutdown sequence, software writes an invalid CPU ID to the IOAPIC redirection table, and the system does not complete the shutdown.
Note:[/i] No failure has been observed when using a PS/2 mouse.
Suggested Workaround. None.
Resolution Status: No fix planned.

Ram Type for a dv4t-1200

Hi I would like to find out what type of Ram that I need for my HP DV4T-1200 Laptop can some one tell me where to find it Thank You in advance

Hi Mika
Look at the [iMac (Mid 2007) Installing or replacing memory|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306204] article, you can use RAM module sizes of 1 or 2 GB in each slot.
Then look at [The Dealram Site|http://dealnews.com/memory/prices/systems/Apple-i-Mac-Intel-PC2-5300-DDR2- SO-DIMMS/41494/2GBx2.html] were you can choose anything from a single 1 or 2GB module to the 2 or 4GB kits from different suppliers and sellers.
Crucial, OWC, Samsung, Corsair, Mushkin and Kingston modules have all been approved by many users here in the forum. Stick with the suppliers that sell name brands and offer a lifetime warranty!
