Upgraded from MSI K9N Diamond to K9N2 Diamond-need CPU cooler

OKAY, I got my new mobo...got my new RAM :Corsair with alum/heatsinks. and therin lies the problem. I had a Thermaltake Ruby Orb CPU cooler but with the new taller RAM , this cooler wont sit down on the CPU-fins hit the RAM heatsinks. I need a quick reply so I can get this ordered. My CPU is an A64 X2 6400+ Black . RAM is : Corsair TWIN2X4096-6400C5DHX G (Tall aluminum heatsinks). Graphics card : BFG 9800 GT 1gb single width card. Any help s appreciated.
Thanks , jwill58

A good processor HSF is more important than fins on the memory sticks. I normally suggest Thermalright U-120. If it fits I don't know.
NOCTUA NH-U12P is another idea.
Xigmatek Dark Knight S1283V.
Its basically the same thing as those two but only costs around $50. Got it on my Phenom II now! Check my review thread with the pictures of it on my K9N2 SLI Plat.

MSI GT60 GPU upgrade from MSI ?

Hi there,
So just recently I was browsing through the interwebs, when I came across a thread when a guy was walking about how he upgraded his MSI with nvidia 770m to 970m. Now he had to do a minor adjustment to the 970m graphics card (sand down something in the gpu, not sure what though :S, something with aluminum block ? ), anyways after he did that, he just put the gpu back in this laptop and did the bios update and his laptop is working perfectly. What I wanted to know is why doesn't MSI give us an option to upgrade legally, I mean something like what they are doing with the gt72 or the gt80 when they are providing buyers upgrade kits. I would love to upgrade my gpu on my laptop, and I would happily give my money to MSI if they can make an upgrade kit for the GT60's and the GT70's. I mean the GPU is MXM and the thread clearly shows that it is upgradable so why not? I know this is probably a dumb question, but I really wanted to know.

Cost should be the same as the GT72 upgrade as both the heatsink and GPU are both already available to MSI to release. At this point though who cares. You can get a 970m and 980m cheaper than what MSI is selling their kits for. And the 700m and 800m heatsink can be easily modded to work with the new cards. So no big loss if they don't ever release an official kit IMO. Just DIY and be done with it.

Problems when upgraded from 3.0 to 3.2. Need help please!!

Hi everybody,
I recently upgraded from 3.0 to 3.2. My 3.0 version was working perfectly fine.
MY OS is win 2000.
Database oracle 10.2.0
Oracle HTTP server installed companion cd.
The steps I followed to upgrade:
I unzipped apex 3.2 in a new folder called apex_3.2 and ran apexins.sql as sysdba.
I copied new images folder from apex_3.2\apex to HTTP_Home\Apache\Apache
I then ran apxldimg.sql C:\apex_3.2.
C:\apex_3.2 is the base directory where I unzipped apex_3.2.
Then I restarted HTTP server and tried logging in apex page.
But the images are not proper, and I am not able to login. The browser says the page has errors.
It says *'object expected'*.
Please let me know what could be wrong. What step I have missed.....
The upgrade is very important.
Thanking in advance,
Deepika.

Hello,
apxldimg.sql is for EPG.
Does your image alias in dad configuration file correct?
What parameters you pass to apexins.sql script?
Best Regards, Kostya Proskudin

Upgrading from Panter 10.3.9 to Tiger - Need Help

I am trying to upgrade from panter to tiger without success. My 12" powerbook G4 meets exceeds the system requirements and I have plenty of HD space, however the installation fails when verifying the destination volume. My friend suggested that I may need a firmware update to update the Bios for successful installation. I am not mac savvy and do not know what needs to be done. Can someone please give me a helping hand. Thanks.....

Here's the only really useful information on this error and what you can do to solve the problem:
How to Deal with a -9972 Error
Contributed by Fumiaki Kawashima
The error message, "Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972)" is a serious filesystem error in the Mac OS X Core Foundation. The problem can also lead to other critical errors such as "Keys Out of Order," "Invalid node structure" and/or "Invalid sibling link." The causes and scenarios vary. Troubleshooting a solution may depend upon computer configuration and whether the -9972 error is accompanied by other critical errors. This issue can also lead up to a kernel panic. If the error occurs when an external FireWire device is connected, disconnect it until you verify the device's compatibility.
Symptoms:
In most cases, you are unable to restart from Mac OS X.
* A volume is grayed out or not mounted with or without a kernel panic.
* A folder with a flashing question mark may appear.
* A bad partition map may be reported.
* A target disk mode solution may not work.
* Most likely, Disk Utility, Norton Utilities, TechTool and DiskWarrior cannot fix the issues.
* The high level disk format (Standard format) may unable to perform.
* You may unable to re-initialize the hard drive.
* A disk physically malfunctions in the worst case.
Example of an accompanied error message:
DiskWarrior normally fixes 1 to 6, but cannot fix errors 7 to 10 if the symptoms are very bad. There is no definite case.
01. Volume check failed
02. Invalid B-tree Header
03. Invalid map node
04. Invalid extents entry
05. Invalid clump size
06. Incorrect block count file
07. Invalid node structure
08. Overlapped extent allocation
09. Keys Out of Order
10. Invalid sibling link
Related documents:
What to Do When It Finds an Error
Technical overview of disk volume structures
Possible causes:
* Third-party FireWire device or enclosure, or other peripheral devices.
* Third-party mass storage drives or PCI card issues.
* Incompatible third-party kernel extensions.
* Mac OS X installer disc is improperly treated.
Solutions:
If possible and needed, back up data before troubleshooting. Methods (4) and (5) are for Power Mac desktop computers other than G5 models. The best bet is method (4) if you encounter multiple bad errors.
1. Unplug the power cord. Disconnect all third-party hardware except Apple keyboard and mouse before you start.
2. Do NOT re-install any third-party software/hardware until you completely solve the issue(s) and carefully investigate the compatibility with Mac OS X 10.3.x you install.
3. If another critical error "Invalid sibling link" is detected at any phases, disconnect and reconnect all internal power cords and data cables for hard drives and any ATAPI device. To do so, you may need to read the computer's CIP Instructions in advance. Normally, you do not need to remove third-party RAMs.
Method 1:
(1) Start up from Mac OS X 10.3.x Panther Full Install CD or DVD.
(2) Re-initialize and re-partition the hard drive. RECOMMENDATION: Select "Zero all data" option if "Invalid node structure" or "Keys Out of Order" error is detected.
If this method is of avail, go to Method 2 or greater.
Method 2:
(1) Start up in Mac OS 9.2.2 and shut down the computer.
(2) Start up from a copy of a Disk Warrior bootable CD for Mac OS 9.2.2.
(3) Run DW to fix the damage(s).
Method 3:
(1) Unplug the computer.
(2) Find a second ATA drive and jumper it as MASTER. Jumper the hard drive in question as SLAVE. Verify the jumper pin settings.
(3) Install Mac OS 9.2.x system on the MASTER drive, and update it to Mac OS 9.2.2.
(4) Start up from Mac OS 9.2.2. Re-initialize and re-partition the damaged hard drive with Drive Setup using the "Zero all data" option. Unplug the computer and reconfigure the jumper pin setting on the repaired drive for MASTER and the second drive for SLAVE.
(5) Restart from Mac OS X 10.3 Panther full install CD. Re-initialize and re-partition the repaired drive to install Mac OS X 10.3. Update to Mac OS X 10.3.7 via Software Update. Repair the disk permissions after each Mac OS X 10.3 installation and Mac OS X 10.3.7 update.
You may want to try starting up from Mac OS 9.2.x Full Install CD instead of from (2) to (4).
Method 4:
(1) Find a desktop computer that has an ATA controller PCI card (SCSI environment) and has two hard drive bays. This will make your damaged drive appear as a quasi-SCSI hard drive. Mac OS 9.2.2 must be pre-installed on the computer. I recommend a host computer that installs an Ultra DMA/xxx or xxx (ATA-x) interface equal to or better than the damaged drive with backwards compatible.
(2) Set the host computer's primary drive as MASTER and your damaged hard drive as SLAVE and install the damaged drive in the second drive bay of the host computer. Verify properly configured jumper pin settings in advance.
(3) Start up the host computer from Mac OS 9.2.2. Launch the "Drive Setup" utility. Re-initialize the damaged disk on the second drive using the "Low level format" option. It may take hours but less than "Zero all data" option. Note: Normally, a low level format with a quasi-SCSI drive takes much less (30 - 40%) time than an ATA configuration drive. Note that "Low level format" fixes all difficult logical damage.
(4) Put the fixed disk back in your computer's drive bay. Re-configure the jumper pin setting to MASTER before you place it into the drive bay of your computer.
(5) Restart from Mac OS X 10.3 Panther full install CD. Re-initialize and re-partition it to install Mac OS X 10.3. Update to Mac OS X 10.3.7 via Software Update. Repair the disk permissions after each Mac OS X 10.3 installation and Mac OS X 10.3.7 update.
Note that Panther's Disk Utility does not implement a "Low level format" option.
Method 5:
If Method 4 does not work or fix the damaged drive, let me know. You may need an advanced technique to fix it if the drive is physically not a problem.
OPTION:
Purchase a known good hard drive that conforms to your computer's ATA specification. Fix the damaged hard drive some other time. Nowadays, prices of hard drives are inexpensive.

I'm looking for Apple desktop P.C. as an upgrade from my Dell /windows XP. I need guidance.

I currently use a 6 yr. old Dell Vostro 200 (Windows XP). I want to upgrade to an Apple desktop PC. I need guidance to a product. Are any peripherals compatible (ie. screen, printer, Maxtor hard drive)?

Almost all peripherals are compatible. I'd recommend reading https://www.apple.com/support/macbasics/ and if you have an Apple Store in your general area stop buy and ask questions. You were not specific as to what screen, printer etc... that you want to use with the iMac and that is all important so you can verify they are compatible.

790XT-G45 - upgrade from MSI K9N2 SLI

I currently use an MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum board. I used nVidia video cards for a while, but now I"m switching to Radeon, so I purchased a 790XT.
Will I have to re-install windows entirely, or can I just uninstall the nVidia system drivers and run driver sweeper?
Should I expect some kind of instability without a clean install, or is Windows 7 good enough to be able to switch chipsets without a problem?
Thanks a million

Or you can get another HDD for $40 or so and put fresh OS on it and use current HDD as data/storage disk. Never hurts to have OS on one drive and another for storage of important stuff anyway.

Upgraded from MSI Ti4400 to FX 5900 XT - 5900 *slower* !

Hi.
I've just upgraded my Ti4400 to the FX 5900 XT (both MSI one), and the 5900 is giving me worse performance than my Ti4400 did! [3dMark2001 benchmark - only 11,000!) I've also tried plugging in an ATI 9600 non-pro, and that does better too). Can anyone think of what might be going on?
I have an Asus A7V333 motherboard - I've just downloaded the latest bios and VIA chipset, plus the latest nvidia drivers. Sure, it only supports 4x AGP, but I wouldn't have thought it would have made that much difference - and the ATI 9600 is an AGP 8x card too, and does better!
I'm at a loss as to what could be causing this.... Does anyone have any suggestions?
(Rest of my spec: 1GB PC2700 RAM, AMD 2200+, 7200 RPM 8MB cache hd's...)
Thanks,
~ James
Edited by vbweb (02

jbaroli: I thought the main idea of a graphics card was to offload all the work from the processor? Sure, i wouldn't expect it to be running at full capacity, but shouldn't it still be performing better than the ti4400?
Kingfisher: Powerwise... I've only got a 250W PSU .... but wouldn't the graphics card complain if it was suffering from low power? (like it did when I didn't give it the additional power at all?)
Matt: Futuremark - I posted on these two forums at the same time... sorry

MSI K9N2 Diamond CPU FAN SPEED

It is not much of a problem, but, recently I changed my msi k9n platinum with k9n2 diamond and, of course, I transfered the old hardware to the new mainboard.
My CPU is x2 64 athlon 6000+ and my fan is Cooler Master Susurro (http://www.overclockersonline.net/?page=articles&num=354). On my platinum board my fan
acted quietly, around 1000-1100 rpms and the cpu temp. around 42-44 degrees celsius. As I changed the mainboard the cpu temp. fell on 34-36 BUT the cpu fan
is now cooling faster, around 1400-1600 rpms. I don't mind my cpu 8 degrees hotter and a better sleep at night :D. I've tried latest drivers, cool&quiet drivers, bios
cool&quiet, smart fan target.. nothing helps. It is the same. I run windows XP SP2. Updated to the last released bios. Tied speedfan, but it doesn't support that
mainboard. And my fan is now too loud, can someone help me

When changing motherboard you need to do at least a repair installation of Windows. Can't really be avoided.
That would mean you reinstall motherboard drivers. Maybe things work better this time.
You set Cooln'quiet to minimal savings, if I'm not mistaken.
Your Susurro got a few years. Are you sure it is up to the job? The test you link to was with a Socket 939 processor, at about half to 2/3 the power and heat output to the one you got.
Oh, and please mention your PSU, too.

K9N2 Diamond X-FI Problems

PC: Windows 7 32 bit, Phenom II x6 1090T, 4g corsair xms2, 9800gt, corsair psu tx650W
Can't change Mode, it stays always on Entertainment, can't change speaker configuration, it's on auto detect always. In XP everything worked fine. Recently tried with some realtek(!!!!) drivers, and can only switch between 5.1 and output for headphones. If I plug something to the extra jack (on the case, with the extra output cable from the x-fi card) my OS crashes for about 1 minute until it realizes what happens, then adds a extra 'headphone' button in my console cu launcher.
3D works on windows first run, but if i change it once (remove the tick) a restart is needed to work again.
I've seen other threads for those problems here and in creative labs forums and no one seems to care about those end-user problems.

Yes, I have, every possible version.

Boot with e-sata External HDD - K9N2 Diamond

Hello.
Installed Windows Vista Home Premium in one hdd, but want to put it in an external case and boot it from there. Does the K9N2 Diamond support boot with an external e-sata disk ? I know that with usb does, but e-sata can't fin out.

Quote
Windows will refuse to boot from it (Microsoft does not want you to have a removable HD
This is somewhat true for external USB Hard Drive. However, it has nothing to do with Microsoft not wanting you to do anything. If Windows is installed on a USB Hard Drive, the problem is that when you try to boot from it, Windows will put out a BSOD. The reason is that during the early boot phase, Windows will fire up the USB Drivers. When that happens, there is a change of parameters which will cause a short shut-down of USB Functionality. Ultimately, Windows will not find the USB Drive it has just booted from and tell you that the whole drive or certain data cannot be found. This can be overcome by modifying parts of the Installation Routine that handles the Installation of the USB Drivers during boot-up phase.
In any case, the problem is related to USB Drives only. As eSATA-Ports are hosted directly by the SATA Controller, the operating system will basically just treat it as a normal hard drive (Windows would also not know the difference, when you install an eSATA Bracket connected to one or more of the internal SATA Ports.)
Also, AHCI it basically only needed for HotPlug Support. As long as the hard drive stays connected to the system, it will be treated like a normal SATA Drive.
Quote
Microsoft does not want you to have a removable HD that you can carry all over the place and boot from
BTW: This will not work unless the different systems you want to use the installation with are the same or similar to the system configuration that Windows was installed on. A different video card and a differen chipset may render the installation pretty much useless. Also, when you change between a system that has AHCI Enabled for the SATA Controller to a System running in SATA/IDE Mode ---> and then back to an AHCI System, there is a high chance that the installation will not properly adapt to the hardware change and mess itself up trying to adapt to the situation in terms of driver intialization. You may run into to numerous BSODs.

K7N420 upgrade from 98SE to 2000Pro

I am running the K7N420 pro with XP2000+. I can't seem to get the upgrade to Windows 2000 Pro from Win 98 SE to work. I get imcompatible hardware errors of the NVIDIA GeForce 2 Integrated GPU, etc. All errors have to do with the NVIDIA portion. I am using the MSI drivers and utilities disk, can't find files. I down loaded upgrades from MSI site, no help.
FYI, I am upgrading because of a random problem of warp time mode when entering the internet. MSI's response was that the K7N420 was not designed to operate with Win98SE.
Thanks

Several things could be preventing you from getting a good install, such as an incomplete driver set installation, etc. Right now your PC may be in an unstable state to do a good installation. The safest way to proceed (after backing up and vital info on the drive) would be to format the drive and install win2000 cleanly. You don't have to install 98 first, win2K should just ask you for the 98 disk during installaiton if you're doing an upgrade install. Win2K will then install a standard set of Windows drivers. Then you should update to the Nforce2 driver set.
Good luck!

Upgradeing from 8.1.6.0 to 10.2.0.3

Hi,
I have a Database in oracle 8.1.6.0.0 and I want to upgrade it to Oracle 10.2.0.3. It seems like there is no straight path upgrade to 10.2.0.3,
How can I upgrade it to 10.2.0.3, Can someone tell me what are the steps involved, I know export and import and even upgrading from one version to another. I need to know only the steps involved.
Thank you

How to upgrade should be in the 10g docs.
In short you will have to install the 10.2.0.1 software, patch it up to 10.2.0.3 then upgrade the database. And you're probably better off going to 10.2.0.4, but there could be reasons you want 10.2.0.3
Hope that helps ;)

StorageTek 6140: How to upgrade from 06.60.11.11 to 07.15.11.12?

Hi,
How can I upgrade to 07.15.11.12?
CAM shows me only 06.60.11.11 as last firmware for this storage.
Another StorageTek 6140 are running with 07.15.11.12 and is in Ok-state, so CAM is up-to-date.
More info:
System/NVSRAM: N399X-660843-003
Tray.85.Controller.A: 06.60.11.11
Tray.85.Controller.B: 06.60.11.11
Tray.85.Drive.01: 0605
Tray.85.Drive.02: 0605
Tray.85.Drive.03: 0605
Tray.85.Drive.04: 0605
Tray.85.Drive.05: 0605
Tray.85.Drive.06: 0605
Tray.85.Drive.07: 0605
Tray.85.Drive.08: 0605
Tray.85.Drive.09: 0605
Tray.85.Drive.10: 0605
Tray.85.Drive.11: 0605
Tray.85.Drive.12: 0605
Tray.85.Drive.13: 0605
Tray.85.Drive.14: 0605
Tray.85.Drive.15: 0605
Tray.85.Drive.16: 0605

Ok, let's try to clarify things. The FW 06.xx and 07.xx are incompatible. The configuration database (DB) which is on the drives is different between 06.xx and 07.xx, that is why an upgrade from 06.xx to 07.10.xx.xx requires a special utility, why it should be done by Sun support engineers and why it can be done only offline. Today we cannot upgrade from 06.xx to 07.15, we need to upgrade to 07.10 with the special utility then CAM can be used to upgrade to 07.15. Any further upgrades within 07.xx can be done online with CAM.
If you move a drive from an array with 06.xx into an array with 07.xx, there is a special procedure in CAM Service Advisor. However moving drives from 07.xx to 06.xx isn't supported and won't work, this can even lead to issues.
The FW 07.xx includes bug fixes as well as new features (ie: volumes >2TB, Raid 6, etc...) whereas the FW 06.xx remains now a sustaining FW which means that there is only bug fixes.
The latest FW for both streams are:
06.60.11.10 (for the 6130), 06.60.11.11 (ie: 6140, 6540)
07.15.11.12 (6140, 6540)
07.30.xx.xx (6580/6780)
The latest version of CAM is now CAM 6.2.0_14 which brings 06.60.11.10/11 and 07.15.11.12 and 07.30.xx.xx (I don't remember now the exact numbers for xx.xx).
If you install CAM 6.2.0_14 and have a 6140 running 06.19.25.xx, CAM will suggest you to upgrade to 06.60.11.11, it won't suggest you to upgrade to 07.xx because it knows that this requires a special utility and procedure.
If you have this array running 07.10, CAM will suggest you to upgrade it to 07.15.11.12 and this can be done online with CAM.
Hope this helps
