Volt moding a k7n2-l

any 1 no of a volt mod for the k7n2-l delta mbs ? need a bit more and cude get 200x12.5 will post and getts in to xp but crashes in game and will not pass prime 95 ;(
thanks

yes I know of a volt mod...but first try relaxing those ram timings and see if it helps....
as for the mod pm me and I will send it.

Volt moding K7N2-L?

is there any way to do a volt mod on the K7N2-L? it only goes to 1.8, so it is limiting my overclocking.
the most i can get out of my barton 2500 on this board is 2530mhz, but in my friends DFI motherboard, with the vcore at 2.0 i can hit 2667mhz with the same processor.
i need more juice anyway to get it without switching motherboards?
my processor is unlocked by the way if it matters. i have 3 barton 2500s, and a 2800 that are all unlocked

well, that sucks i like MSI, but i guess i'll have to buy a DFI lan party board to get the oc's i want
maybe in the future since MSI is building boards that support overclocking they could step the voltage up a notch or 2. i would love to see a new bios out where the vcore goes to 2.0 and the ram voltage to 2.9

OCing a Radeon 9700?

I have a Powerccolor Radeon 9700 (non PRO version) and was wondering how far I can clock the core and memory. I'm not really sure as to the stock speeds, but I think the core runs @275mhz. My system OS is Windows XP SP1; I have a K7n2 Delta-ILSR/Athlon XP 2500+ running @2.05ghz; the memory is 1GB of Mushkin Level One DDR 3200.

You should do a voltage mod to your VR gpu chip. That's the only way to get a high core clock with out screen coruption. Do a search on volt moding 9700. There's lot's of people doing it to all video cards and mother boards. You can volt mod the ram.
I've got my 9600 pro up to 550mhz core from 400 and 370mhz ram from 300. I'm using water cooling though and have ram sinks, which you'll need also for OC'ing with higher voltages. 9700 get hotter also because of the .15 micron GPU size.
If you do the bios flash, 9/10 times you have to volt mod for stability. That's the key for bios hacks on non pro to pro flashing.
Just a thought.

K7N2 Delta problems

Hey all..having a huge problem with my computer and have no idea what's going on.....when i try to reformat, i am getting errors with blue screen. errors are as follows: Page_Fault_In_Non_Paged_Area followed by the stop error numbers
Driver_IRQL_Not_Less_Or_Equal
IRQL_Not_Less_Or_Equa
as well as a wait or yield error in a DPC routine
Now, when i reset the bios, it will reformat and install windows, but I never had to do this before. Also, when i am up and running, i am getting both crash and reboots, as well as lock-ups. Again, never happened before a month or so ago. Does anyone have any ideas? I don't know if this is a PSU issue, a BIOS issue( I just updated to the latest BIOS version, but after all the problems), a heat issue or what. Here are my specs:
MSI K7N2 Delta
Athlon XP 3200+
2x512 mb of DDR333 RAM
usually use Radeon 9700 Pro, but am currently forced to use FX 5200
WD 60 gb hdd with 8 mb cache
AOpen 300 watt psu
3.3v - 20.0A 5v - 30.0A 12v - 13.0A
any help would be appreciated gang...have a good one !!

Flash the bios back to B30. Much more stable than B40. B40 are really buggy same as the beta one. Good Luck.

K7N2 Delta-L deteriorating cmos resets

Hi
System info :
K7N2 Delta-L mobo
XP2500 Barton
2 x 256mb Samsung (Korean) PC3200
Coolermaster CP5-8JD1F-0L hsf
PNY ti4200 128mb
Maxtor 40g 7,200 hd
Pioneer DVD
LG CD-RW
2 x 80mm case fans
1st psu 400w generic
2nd psu Thermaltake 420w
All installed with first psu, and XP pro. Running no problems. Tested cpu at 11 x 200 (not straight off, gradually built up to it, watching for stability or temp problems), was running fine at stock voltages, ran 3d mark 2001 successfully. Backed things off to 10.5 x 200 to ensure stability. Re-ran 3dmark 2001, then ran prime95 overnight (8+ hours), with no problems at all. Temperatures were fine, I set the cpu temperature alarm well into the safe side in the bios (55deg). The highest cpu temperature PC Alert displayed, was 29 deg.
Updated the bios to 5.3, rebooted and checked the settings in the bios, went back into XP, no probs, re-ran 3dmark, went online, and started to play Dark Age of Camelot. After somewhere around 2 - 3 hours, the display started to "stutter", and the mouse movement became erratic. I logged off, checked PC Alert temps, all was fine, but 12v line had gone down to 11.56v. Rebooted to check the volts in the bios. They were down too, also the blue line selector had acquired a mind of its own, randomly headed anywhere when next item was selected, so I switched off, and guessing the psu to be maybe a bit inadequate, ordered the Thermaltake 420w to replace the 400w generic.
The Thermaltake arrives, install and fire up, after clearing the cmos to start again, and set up with basics. Voltages were all very satisfactory. In the meantime I had checked the cpu seating and thermal compound, and there had been no problems, and I also took the heatsink off the ti4200 to check thermal compound, cleaned and re-applied (as I did with the cpu).
On the fire up into XP, got a bsod with file corruption notice. Booted into Me install cd, formatted the drive, loaded smartdrv, and started a new XP install. The system locked up after a successful install, about 2 minutes into the worktop (went to use windows explorer to access drivers, etc., and it froze). Had to use the reset button, and it would not post. Cleared the cmos, and it posted. Reflashed the bios to 5.2 that was on the distribution cd just in case.
Since then, it has been a catalogue of failed installs, lockups and increasingly difficult clearing of the cmos. It is now at the point that a cmos clear does nothing (with the other pins at 100 and safe mode), and it fails to post. I get to the 3 lights flashing on the keyboard, and that is it.
I removed the board from the case, just in case I had hallucinated and missed a riser or something, but the risers were in the right place, and each had a fibre washer on top. Tried booting with the board out of the system, with just the cpu/hsf/memory/graphics, with no joy, also tried with a Gf 4 mx 440, and also no joy.
In retrospect, I don't think the 400w psu was too bad to drive the system, but it was worth being cautious - it has driven another system with no problems since. The cpu was performing great, as was the memory. There was no problem with the hsf or agp card. Memory was tried single stick in each memory slot (and all of it had flown through 3dmark and prime95 previously).
I am tempted to suspect something is adrift to do with the Athlon powersaving mode that has been mentioned in these forums. Other than that, there was something a bit weak on the mobo, and it has slowly bitten the dust.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

PS.
The case is one of those Superflower Midi towers, with good case volume. Airflow was quite nice with the 2 extra fans, one at front pulling in, the other at rear extracting.
The fan on top of the heatsink, is the standard Coolermaster, which overhangs the heatsink either side, with the bonus of blowing a nice airflow over the northbridge.
The 400w generic psu had 2 fans, which were also pulling a fair airflow through the case. I didn't get any indications of anything even aproaching overheating.

K7N2 Delta 2

On a K7N2 Delta 2 series motherboard does anyone know how high of a cpu I can put in.right now I am running a Socket A Amd Sempron 2500+.but I cant find the highest cpu it will run on.

Or for a lot less you could buy a mobile chip and run it faster and cooler at lower vcore than an xp3200......got mine going 200Mhz faster just now!! Hard to find new but worth it as they are the cream of the crop selected for their ability to run at 1.35/1.45 volts and therefore make excellent overclockers. Mines standard settings is 133x14 but its running at 218x11 just now!! xp3200 tend to be overpriced just now for some strange reason. I wanted one but didnt fancy paying so much for one. So glad i went for the cheaper and definately faster option. Guaranteed to be a good overclocker as long as its not a 1.65v desktop replacement one. stepping codes are important also so do a bit of research first via google....IQYHA and IQZHA one are the best ones. multiplier is unlocked on them all too.
good luck!!

K7n2 delta-L o/c advise (for a newbie)

I have a K7N2 Delta-L, a Athlon XP 2500+ barton, 512 ram (2x256 Kingston/Infineon RAM, CAS 3, dual chanel) and a ATI radeon 3600SE GC.
I have set the bios settings to "High Performance" (preset in the bios), but someone told me that with a Nforce2 chipset, those settings are not "synchronised" (I understand: not optimized). So my question is: how should I set the bios manually to get a better o/c than the automatic "High Performance" settings ?
I don't want to make my motherboard overheat, and I would like to keep it stable ( I enjoy the stability of my MSI). Could someone suggest me a few tweak for the bios (or with Nvidia System utility) to make my system faster, but safely !
Thank you very much !
PS: Here are the settings someone suggested me on MSI France forum, but it made my PC crash seriously, and I could not even reboot... had to cleat the CMOS !
System performances => manual
cpu fsb clock => 200
cpu interface => high performances
FSB/RAM ratio => 1/1
memory timings => manual => 11/3/3/2.5
FSB et AGP spectrum => disabled
AGP aperture size => 128
Frequency/voltage control => DRAM => 2.8 volt
Cpu ratio => 10
Vcore => a little bit more than the default setting

But these settings made my PC crashed... I could not reboot and had to clear the cmos... the problem was with the processor, I think.

vdimm 2.8v is a bit high.
is it neccessary to have it that high ?
I don't undestand if it is necessary... usually I prefer using low voltage to keep my PC cooler. I would prefer "under-volt" my CPU rather than "over-volt" it.

K7N2 DELTA+default vcore on XP2500 ????

I have a K7N2 Delta board with an XP2500 with 2 512 Geil GD 3200 modules, I have a question I am trying to overclock and I have set the vcore manually to 1.65 which I thought was the stock voltage for these chips. However when I go into windows it is telling me it is set to 1.7 ?? Any ideas on this as i need to set it manually to 1.65 to get stability at 10 x 200. Also any ideas how you lcok the PCI bus on these boards I think i have done it but am not 100%

The Nforce 2 chipset already has AGP/PCI lock so no worry there. The Defualt Vcore is 1.65v but the board tend to stick on Vcore so reset CMOS and try again. The K7N2 boards jump in Volts so go under PC Health in bios to check

K7N2 Delta ILSR and XP2500+ - strange overclocking problem

Relevant configuration data:
- K7N2 Delta ILSR (with 7.6 BIOS version)
- Barton 2500+ (AQXEA)
- Arctic Silver 3 thermal compound
- GlobalWin CAK 38 (7000 rpm DELTA, all copper)
- 2x512 MB Corsair XMS cmx512 3200c2 (it should run 6-3-3-2 at 200MHz on AMD systems according to older documents, and on 6-3-3-2.5 at 200MHz on AMD systems according to newer documents)
- PSU Enermax EG465P-VE (430W)
- Gigabyte ATI Radeon 9800Pro 128MB
- Battlefield 1942 game
I have 2 seperate problems:
1. When I try to set my proc on 13x166 (Barton XP3000+) BIOS won't recognise that settings and it gives me real-clock rate of 833MHz (and no name, just "Athlon XP"). Just a note, when I set proc to be XP2600 or XP2800, everything is great in BIOS and in real conditions (Windows, Battlefield). I had 7.4 version of BIOS and I tried with new 7.6 version and nothing has changed (as I suspected). Can someone help me about this ?
2. Second problem is a bit more serious.
I'm having problems setting my proc to work with 100% stability on 200MHz FSB speed.
This is what's going on:
- Behaviour in Windows is pretty much good (no random restarts).
- Sometimes (on rare occasions) blues screen appears when I'm in windows or some program. Last time when it appeared it said something about "memory managment". I tried to lower memory settings but nothing seemed to be better.
- If I try to freshly install windows on 200 MHz FSB in 98% of the cases installation will be abrupted (blue screen or resets) or it won't even start to install.
- What's bothering me the most is this: Battlefield 1942 is crashing on regular basis. Sometimes it can hold for 5 minutes, sometimes 20 minutes, sometimes half an hour. But on certain moment, puff, and I'm out in Windows. Not a computer restart, just it throws me on desktop.
I've been checking the temperature on regular basis when I'm playing. It is always low.
I've tried to raise core voltage all the way to 1.8v, but same thing happens.
I've tried to lower memory settings, but I get same BF crashing.
I don't know what else to do or what other component to acuse for instability.
Can somebody please help me ?
Thank you in advance !

Nope, because I am changing multiplyers without probs. The only multiplyer that doesn't work is 13x.

...loosen up your memory timings to add stability, and give it a try again at the 200 mhz fsb without changing the multiplier.
I drove the memory according to the Corsair's specs, and I drove it on lower settings also. No change.
Quote
also you may wish to go up to 2.7 volts for your ram, and 1.7 volts on your processor to add stability, remember sometimes you have to go up gradually a step or two at a time and keep it there for a day or two before you reach your top OC.
I might try upping ram voltage but that doesn't sound good, because it IS DDR 400 memory (an excellent one too !).
It's not like I'm trying to drive it over 200MHz. 200MHz is this memory's normal frequency.
Quote
Newest video driver from ATI may help with the stability on your gaming.
Already have newest drivers.
Anyway, thanks for the tips !

K7N2 nightmare

hi all,
new here, but long time MSI user. i just got a new K7N2 delta2 lsr board, and a new xp2400 35watt mobile to go with it. i have been having a nightmare tring to get this thing to work! i cant get anywhere with the auto clocking DOT set to disabled.i want to overclock myself. but i cant get over a 200 fsb no matter what i do. i am not new to overclocking, but i cant figure out whats up with this board. i have a new 500 watt 34 amp powersupply and all the rails read great, the temps are good, i have pumped 2 volts to the cpu and 3 to the mem, thats all i feel comfortable with. i have been getting crashes when i do get into win xp pro. if i leave the DOT set to private i can get in at 12.5x200 and its very stable. i would rather get in at like 11.5x210, as its actualy faster. i had the same mem and cpu on another sys today and hit a 222 fsb, so i know its not those parts. i read about the b.30 bios, but dose it support the 512 of L2 on the cpu?
i also dont know anything about the \f "trick" i keep hearing about. right now i have the b.50 bios.
it came with the b.40.
everything works on this board and i do like it, but is there a way around the bios issues?
thanks for any help, i will probably go to the overclocking forum now and see what i can find out there. also, has anyone come up with a custom or modded bios for this board?
bri

Hi Brian,
I also have K7N2-Delta2-LSR with XP-M 2500+ (45 Watt, 1.45v). Running at 12x200 and 1.65v (2.4 GHz) was not a problem without overcolocking the memory. Reading your message, if you have 12x200 stable but 11.5x210 unstable, I think, the problem is your memory. Anyway, here is what I did in my case.
- First, made sure I have proper CPU cooling. Then, in the BIOS, set the Vcore to 1.65v for starting (by the way, Vcore=2.0v is too high, I would not exceed 1.75, at most 1.8v, without special cooling)
- Set FSB to 200 and multiplier to 11 for starting, I would assume XP-M 2400+ could easily go upto 2200 MHz without special effort. You can increase multiplier to 12 after stabilizing the initial setup.
- Set DDR RAM timings and voltage to default values and disable DOT. (my BIOS was also B.4 by default) (Again, RAM voltage of 3.0v is too high, it may cause instability)
I use 1:1 FSB:RAM ratio at 200 FSB and do not overcolock the memory since I only have the standard PC3200 Crucial memory. After initial stage, I only increased the multiplier to 12x and left the system as it is at that point since it was completely stable and cool.
Since Athlon XP-M's are unlocked, I did not do any modifications on the CPU. The only problem is that the BIOS reports my CPU as "unknown CPU type" which is a completely cosmetic problem.
Good luck !
Motherboard: K7N2-Delta2-LSR (BIOS upgraded to B.5)
CPU: Athlon XP-M 2500+ running at 2.4 GHz (12x200, 1.65v)
Memory: Crucial PC3200 512 MB single stick (2.7v, default timings, 3,3,3,8)

New K7N2 Delta2 Platinum crashes with new memory

I recently bought a new K7N2 Delta2 Platinum motherboard and 2 x 512MB DDR400 OCZ memory, and now my machine continually crashes.
I've tested the memory sticks individually using memtest, and there are no problems with the memory. However, when I was in touch with OCZ support, they mentioned that there is apparently a problem with the nForce2 chipset being able to handle new 2 x 512MB memory. I had my motherboard working successfully with old DDR400 memory (BH5-based), which I sold when I bought the new memory. I was pointed to this site by OCZ support:
http://www.bleedinedge.com/forum/showpost.php?p=30004&postcount=7
Is this the case?
If so, I'm surprised to see that MSI (or any manufacturer with nForce2 chipsets) can claim up to 3GB support. Comments?
Apparently, one thing to try is 2T command rate, but I can't find where to set it in my BIOS. I heard that it's probably set to 1T by default on my board.
Can anyone suggest any other options?
I'm somewhat frustrated that I've bought a new board and pretty expensive memory, and now have an unstable system. It's also too late to return to the reseller.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.
Stuart.

Did you also test them together? If not, do so. Then up voltage as suggested.
Do you have them in dual channel, i.e one green slot and one purple slot?

That is correct; it is set up for 1T and can not be changed.
Not true that nforce2 chipset has problems running 2x512MB but it is notoriously picky. Your board tends to under-volt the memory too so you may be OK after increasing the voltage.
You don't say what bios you are using but bosskiller's modded bios b.72c has produced good results and addresses memory issues.

agp/pci lock?
the agp and pci buses are locked at respected frequencies....no more overclocking the buses through fsb maintaining stabilty.
Quote
does dual channel memory work with just regular ram? it doesn't take different ram or anything cause it runs at a 128bit or whatever?
it uses standard 2.5 volt ddr ram.....just be sure it is a compatible brand.....check this forum for other posts on any memory problems they have had.

K7N2 Delta No Raid or Sata - Refuses to install OS

Hi
From what I gather, I think I have bought a bit of a tricky board and hopefully some fine people in here may help me resolve my dilemma.
The Mainboard:
MSI K7N2 Delta without RAID or SATA.
The Components to be installed:
Athlon MP 1800+ completely bog standard
S3 S8 Nitro 256 8x AGP
2x256 paired PC2700 Micron DDR DIMM's
Benq 16x DVD Writer Secondary Master
Maxtor 40Gb IDE Diamond Max HDD Primary Master
IDE Cables are extremely high quality ATA133 jobs.
Power Supply:
Brand New Delux 450 Watt with home built power conditioning throughput - Extremely little fluctuation even under massive load!
This little lot above is sitting in my Asus A7V333 mobo, it is a brilliant little setup but I intend to open the 1800 up or crank up a Duron Applebred which a friend had performing like a dream when he unlocked it...
The Issue:
I have been building and playing with PC's since I built my first Sinclair ZX80 way back in the 70's, so I know what's what in a box.
I put the mobo in the case, connected it all up, connected it up and hey presto, a POST screen and I managed to get into BIOS.
Then it died...
Waited the requisite ten to fifteen seconds after turning the PSU off, again, shut down.
I checked the J10 and J11 jumpers, set J10 to safe (100Mhz) leaving J11 closed, we have a stable BIOS but a CPU that is running at 1150Mhz and no manner of messing with the frequency settings will move that Mhz up.
So I decided to persevere, put XP in, started to load, go to the message "Setup is starting Windows" and again it shut off.
Odd!
Took out one of the mem DIMMS, reset J10 to 133/166, shut off, reset, moved the DIMM to another slot, and again, off it went and so forth.
Changed the memory to a Kingston 128Mb, again powered off.
Put an ATi Radeon 9250 in it... same old same old...
A Nvidia GeForce 2 MX replaced the ATi, beginnning to look at smashing the thing to pieces in frustration, dies at either startup or "Setup is starting Windows"
Pulled the DVD drive, still the same, did all this with the FSB set to 100Mhz, got as far as Setup is starting Windows and died.
Found a stock XP 1800+, stuck that in, followed the above and stil it would either go past BIOS screen in 133/166 or would crash at "Setup is starting Windows"
Now, why have I not sent this board back...?
I took it round a friends, who stuck a 2400+ in, some crappy old Samsung memory, his case has "El Cheapo" stamped on the PSU and the bloody thing powered up right as rain...
So we reflashed the BIOS, used the manual again to set it up for the 1800+ and I brought it back, no go...
Ye Gods, This is a sore trial indeed and I am beginning to regret being coaxed into taking this board on, playing Need For Speed Most Wanted on my Asus looks superb (the S8 Nitro is a really underrated card).
Any ideas before its "Hammer Time"..?
Ancient One

Hi
I only have PC2700 unfortunately being somewhat misled by Crucial that my FSB would run at 333 if I put it into the Asus.
I have rejected the GeForce because it really looks 'orrible running under the board, it may be failing in any case but the artefact seems to be there only when installed to the MSI, on the Asus, it runs perfectly and gets a reasonable score on 3dMark 2001 for what it is. Being an MX means that even though its bigger spec than some GF3s , the memory is a lot lot older claiming to be DDR when in fact it is early SD. The Abit Radeon 9250 is my trusty reference card as it can stoop to 2x if need be but will run in all sockets but doesn't perform as well in any way with the S8 Nitro which apperently has futureproof tech in anticipation of DX10.
The board I have, has 5 pastel green jumpers, CMOS clear at 1-2, J10 & 11 plus two down the bottom left that I can't find reference to in my manual, I suspect these are to do with the sound and USB capabilities so thought to check what these were.
The BIOS flash didn't change anything and in the BIOS I noticed that I was getting thermal readings from the temp sensor so thats out of the window as well.
FSB settings I have tried are 9 x 166, 11.5 x 133 and variations in between trying to make up 1534 or thereabouts.
I am wondering of a pinout mod to the XP socket might do the trick if I can out the FSB locks, I noticed that I cannot change the voltage Vcore to 1.75+ which is the juice that the Palomino needs, it is stuck on 1.60+ thus undervolting it somewhat, on the Asus there is a jumper for freeing the volting up, I wonder if there is anything the same on the MSI...? I tmight be detecting the MP as a mobile and then finding it locked thus not able to process the chip as it should be eg less volts and variable rates of frequency... Hmmm
There is more though... I found an old Duron 950, ran the system up on 100FSB and the second jumper open and vóila, went past the point of "Setup is starting Windows" and began to install on the HDD.
So it is looking increasingly like a conflict with the Athlon's of the 1800 variety...
On an aside about temps, I found that an hour on Prime95 can "cook" the artic silver and gain anything up to a 4 degree average cooler temp, I also use S2K bus disconnect software as well as them Palomino cores don't like switching themselves off into the halt states do they?
BTW Delux state that the PSU should exceed the given expectations but I wonder about this as I had to condition the output because it was quite wide in its fluctuations on the scope, I found a thing on the net on how to condition the output, so that it never drops under the expected voltage but can freely be drawn on as demand requires. The advantage of the Peliter kit was I could run other fans directly off it leaving the 12V rails with less demand but pulse emulators are never as good as a 2700rpm rotor in keeping the board assured that a fan is spinning. The MSI board isn't exactly abound with fan plugs...
Thanks all again

MOVED: Killed My K7N2

Make a sig listing everything in the system. 11.4 volts on the 12volt rail is on the low side. Also list the specs for the power supply. 3.3v-5v-12v amperages. That magma power supply may cause you problems. Forget about the watts that it supposedly produces, that means nothing. It is the amps per rail that counts.
I know the watts mean nothing but the Amps on the 12v rail are like 17 or 19 one of the three and it’s not a very demanding system. I am not sure if PC Alert (after all it is made by MSI) is reading the voltages wrong on the 12v, I will try Speedfan later

And the cpu coolers not too bad, I can't put any AS5 on it as I will have to drop out the PSU to get it off and I can't be bothered with that. It is about 35-40C on prime95 max heat torture test at stock speeds.
Are there any good bios for overclocking/benchs for this board then chaps?

Psu problem to much volt

hi
i recently discovered that my psu puts out a bit to much volt.
+5vsb is around 5.54 - 5.56 v.
3.3v is 3.38v but that is within the 5% limit.
should i be concerned ?
i used this psu for 2 1/2 month without trouble so far.
i use speedfan to check this but before i send it away for rma i wanted to check with a multimeter or volt meter or what its called.
its a device to measure volt and it is very accurate.
does the psu need to be under load or not to get a correct result ?
bye

oohh it looks like i been screaming WOLF
i went into bios and checked there and +5vsb was around 4.99 - 5.01
i should have thought of it earlier
then i dont have to send the psu for an rma
my old psu is not strong enough to handle my gfx card
sorry for the extra work and thanks for helping me out
