The great K7N420 Pro with Athlon XP 2400+

I have just purchased a 2400+ Pro for my system and, you guessed it, it doesn't work.  :O  After sifting through pages of forum posts I realise I am not alone.
I am currently in the process of going through some of the suggestions but I do have one query. According to the AMD website, the 2400+ comes in two models. When looking at the recommended motherboards for the processor, the K7N420 Pro appears for one model, but not the Model 10 w/ 256k cache. Click here for page
Can anyone clear this up before I go crazy!!!  
Cheers

Hi
RE: AXDA2400DKV3C.
Translation:
AXDA = Processor Core Architecture = AMD Athlon XP 0.13Micron (T/bread or Barton)
2400 = Model Number (2400 = 2000MHz)
D = Package Type = OPGA
K = Operating Voltage (K = 1.65V)
V = Maximum Die Temperature (V = 85 Degrees Celsius)
3 = Level 2 Cache Size (3 = 256Kb)
C = Maximum System Bus Speed (C = 266MHz FSB) ???
Funnily enough, although the C (supposedly) means 266FSB (133) If you read the Model 10 Data sheet it is described as either a 333MHz (166) or 400MHz (200) version. This means of course that the previous poster's are correct and you need to change you CPU for a model 8 - as this chip is incompatible with your board.
It's good that this came up in the forum, as I wouldn't be surprised if more people fell foul of this, the differences between the model 8 and model 10 - and the compatibility issues with the older boards are not immediately apparent - maybe it's time for MSI to update the info in the CPU section of the K7N420's web page - there are still K7N420 user's out here you know! (just in case MSI are reading this - fat chance).
Well at least you know the CPU isn't knackered you just need to exchange it.        
Anyway, let us know how you get on I'm sure people would like to know.
Good Luck  :D

  • What is the best external hard drive for the MAC Book Pro with Retina?

    What is the best external hard drive for the MAC Book Pro with Retina?
    I was looking at WD MY PASSPORT FOR MAC and Toshiba. I want something that will work best with time capsule! Suggestions on the best external hard drive would be greatly appreciated!!!

    A Time Machine backup drive should be substantially larger than the system drive.  If you have a 128 or 256 GB SSD then a 1 TB drive will suffice.  If you have a 512 GB SSD then a 2 TB drive will suffice.  As leroydouglas indicated any brand other than WD will do.
    For 1 TB drives PlotinusVeritas gives some great suggestions here:

    A 2 TB drive sold by Apple:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/H9378ZM/A/lacie-2tb-usb-30-porsche-design-p923 3-desktop-hard-drive
    $130
    A 2 TB drive just as good for only $92.

  • I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display.

    I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display. i have never seen this message before and i have 2 other macbooks and have had many other also. i am assuming this is a problem with the new macbook retina. does anyone know the exact fix to this issue? i have seen many sugestions to try to fix this issue but none have solved the issue for anyone that i can find in the Apple Support Community. thank for looking into this in advance.
    ******A true apple fan********

    Actually your suggestions are the ones that i have tried. i have seen that you have tried to help others with this issue and the only one that i could find that said they found the problem said that it was an ilife update issue and it fixed it and i have no available updates. i know it has to do with something in photo stream because it happens when i create a new library and it is loading the photos but i get the message before i reach the maximum 1000 photos. so i've tried updating, new library(first backing up photos and then deleting them from iPhoto), reinstalling OSX many times, running disc utilities. I called Apple the first day i had this issue and i was the first person to call them for support with the retina display and i actually had it escalated to a senior advisor and we thought we fixed the problem but we did not. i am pretty fluent in dealing with troubleshooting these type of issues and this is the first time i'm reaching out to the community. i figured now that the retina has been out some time now that there would be an obvious answer to this issue. thanks for the quick reply.

    Why is the australian MacBook pro with retina display far more expensive then the American one when the Australian dollar is much stronger

    this is a user response forum, i'm not sure what you think we will know. Apple doesn't reply here. you would probably have to contact the main Apple HQ in Australia to have a chance to get any kind of answer.

  • You can't use this version of the application "logic pro" with this version of os x

    After installing all of Logic Studio (i.e. install dvd, audio content 1-3, jam packs 1-3), my laptop concludes that everything is installed successfully, however, when going to open to Logic, error icon appears and says:
    'you can't use this version of the application "logic pro" with this version of os x'

    Thank you! I found that just after I entered the question. I reinstalled everything two times, updated software, but was still having issues. But, I specifically updated the 9.1.8 (which was supposedly included in my standard software update). Guess I needed to give it some extra attention and affection.
    P.S. - Why do I feel like the more I upgrade versions of OS X, the worse off I am getting or am? Isn't it supposed to be opposite...isn't it supposed to make things better...come on, mac...where you at? mt. lion or mavericks. I'm downloading Snow Leopard to make some programs run. (um, yeah).

  • Is normal in the mac book pro with the retina make fan noise al the time ?

    Is normal that the new macbook pro with retina make fan noise all the time?

    Hi everyone.
    I just bought an mac book pro retina , 15 inches , 2 GHz, Core i7, 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3. I'm a programmer , so, I really don't give to the mac book an exhaustive use, so the performance of the machine is good for me. But recently , I discovery some kind of issue : a noise fan when I reproduce a video from Internet, in full screen mode.
    I download the iStatus Menus program for mac, to has a complete dashboard of the situation , and I got this :
    1) When recently start the mac book, the statistics are
    All in order, the revolutions of the fan are OK, no fan noise at all.
    But , just opened a video in full screen , a few seconds after opened start it, the machine increase the temperature from (normal) 40° to 98° (so high), and the statistics change dramatically , as follow :
    As you can see, the fan revolution increase 3x , from  2000 to 6000 . The use of Google Helper increase over 200% . And obviously the noise fan make me crazy,
    I've only seen this "issue" on that scenario, ( internet video full screen reproduction ). That's not happen , even when many applications are open.
    Should I worry about this ?,  or, this is a normal behaviour on the machine ?.
    I'll appreciate any advice or answer.
    Kindly regards.

  • Does the Mac Book Pro With Retna have a disk drive?

    Does The Mac Book pro With Retna have a disk drive?

    No.  The storage is all SSD.
    Ciao.
    If you are referring to an optical drive, that is also NOT included.  You would need to connect one externally.

  • I have the new macbook pro with retina and I am trying to back up with wd passport for mac and is telling me it is going to take 7days

    I have the new macbook pro with retina and I am trying to back it up, with wd passport for mac and is telling me it is going to take 7days. Any Ideas? Im afraid that means there is something wrong with my hard drive. I have verified the disk and it says everthing is ok.

    It seems to be a common problem that those drives don't perform well, at least not with Time Machine.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter the word "Starting" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. You should now see log messages with the words "Starting * backup," where * represents any of the words "automatic," "manual," or "standard." Note the timestamp of the last such message. Clear the text field and scroll back in the log to that time. Post the messages timestamped from then until the end of the backup, or the end of the log if that's not clear.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don't post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
