I have an external BIOS programmer. I can fix any corrupt BIOS on a different pc. There is no possible hardware damage is there?

This is a better then usual kit for this kind of testing. Somehow it is more friendly. But I will test with the new bios files as well. I had the feeling that it was not on par with the nf7, altough mem voltage was not that high...

I didn’t know, I will test it. Edit: I am still Expecting it to be dual channel, why else coding the dimm slots in different colors. edit 2: manual https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/K7N2_DeltaL_ILSR#down-manual It seems to be dual channel.

Thank you verry much. ?????? I just noticed it is a smaller sized bios. I will test all versions later this week. I never flash any of my boards without using the external programmer so that should be no problem. edit: I want to remove the vdimm mosfet first so that I can use FireRAM, it doesn’t like 5v.

Here is the screen you asked for. I put the dual channel proof also in the screenie. Thank you in advance. edit: 20:50 - I noticed a NB voltage of 1.8v was/should be possible in the old modded bios. For those of you looking for voltage points for this board: NB/AGP 245MHz FSB with 2x512MB tccd

I am running 5.9 as we speak but I just stumbled on a installation issue. (Black screen) in win xp install last phase. I will look at it when I solve this

I will look at it. Thanks Edit 18:53 (6:53 PM) @Mr.Scott: I just tested the bios but it didn't work on my Delta-L. @digitalbath: If you could make the bios that would be great. I am running a Win XP install now. So I expect it to finish today or tomorrow.

Thank you, take your time since I will pick it up tomorrow. I still need to install xp after this. oh and it seems to be dual channel from what I could find.

I am still in doubt of the need of a mod bios, I might as well use it for binning and testing. Great update from a sis board. But if it can be done and won’t cost to much time then yes. Other: no Oh and I managed to save two nf7-s. I had a defective power on button In the time between the 3 other defective boards, so these two were not defective. And 1 gfx card won’t post on one of the nf7, that is confusing.

Is that BIOS also for the MSI K7N2 Delta-L? I bought one for €7,50... edit: posted it at the same time...

I allready made an offer on a cheap mobo (killed the last one, 1 of 5...). I ordered a new psu as well (Super Flower 2000w platinum).

Thanks, I will try and test them in that order (someday). About the package: In the Netherlands it was PostNL who fuxxxd up... In France it was just my luck during a lock down. edit: I found the cause of 3 motherboard crashes... when one gfx card was plugged In Antother nf7-s went down. So now 4 motherboards defective. edit2: anther mainboard just went up in smoke. No idea what is causing this, but for now no testing or oc because I reaaly don’t know why I blew up 5 mainboards just by pushing power on.

Thank you for your offer. I will test these first after I am sure which hardware survived. Since I only have 1 Epox board, this board will be tested only when I am completely sure what the problem is. About bad luck: Good to know that after 70 days my dfi nf4 board finaly made it here... that is, 1 village further up the road... Someone brought it back and now it is going back to France after no tries to get it even in the right town...

This not booting or posting is without any mod, I just replaced some cpu caps. At first all fans were working and I measured cpu, vdd, vtt and vdimm as ok, but still no post codes on my external card (not even 00). After some hardware swapping of it now runs only the green led at the pci port. Almost no voltages on the psu. edit: the booster needs a new var. resister (ordered), the FireRAM module is working perfectly. edit 2: it didn’t come to running the booster on this motherboard sadly.

Thank you, that is a complete answer. So when modding vdimm, vtt always scales if I understand this correct. And since 5v is used a mod for vdimm is easy then. I was thinking of using the FireRAM module or the OCZ Booster. edit: this was a short adventure... motherboard died after swapping some caps. 3rd board in a few weeks (2 socket a and 1 socket 939).

Thanks for your input. I will try those settings. for fsb testing on my NB I always use one specific XL kit I own, it seems more friendly altough these are 512’s. I won’t be running pi 32m yet because I will wait for running it with vdd an vdimm modded. I have one more question: Where is the vtt measuring point? edit: I was planning to replace the other 6.3v 3300’s for cpu with solids (1500 or 1800) and place them on the other side of the motherboard. For the 2 caps near the 12v mod I will use 2 1000uF solids. I hope this will do it.

I have the A7N8X Deluxe v2.0 version and I am running the ED55 Digitalbath version. Is that the recommended version for now? It didn’t come to testing the NB yet, I am planning to test it with my Tccd kit first to get an idea. This way I can do it unmodded. My dead nf7-s did a 260 boot at 1.6v. Even with mosfet replacements the 12v and 5v give 0 Ohm When connecting with ground.

Thanks. I was able to run 260-266 on my nf7 before it died 2 weeks ago. I think it was ed. my Epox is ed as well (254-257) with an old bios. I have an Asus now as well.

I saw that @digitalbath made a nice Epox mod as well. I will test those on my 8rda6+ pro. Can someone please explain again what was the difference between: ebed, dded and ed? edit: I saw some good stuff on page 2 and 3 so I will try and read again.

Any chance you would sell bh5 memory?

Wow

Quick reply to follow news in the thread.

I have a kit which runs these speeds sinds 2015. It were 2 kits (1 dimm was killed in a defective motherboard).

Great score and work.

Unmodded (not even recapped) motherboard, using TCCD. Just a great cpu.
