Asus A7N8X-X and AMD Athlon XP 3200+

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus (More info?)

I have had this Asus A7n8x-x MB for several months now running an AMD
Athlon XP 2200+ (1.8 ghz CPU) not overclocked in any way. I just
received an AMD XP 3200+ CPU and I was trying to find some resource on
the web to tell me the exact MB settings I should change for this CPU.
If I just put it in the machine, it detects as an AMD Athlon XP 1100+
with the multiplier set in BIOS to 100. If I change it to 133, it
displays 1900+ and 166 displays it as a 2500+ cpu...if I set it to 200
the system will not boot (until I power it completely off, then the
ASUS safe mode tells me that the CPU is set incorrectly and to go in
and change it.

I had hoped for some paper to come with my xp 3200+ to allow me to set
this BIOS correctly. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Oh and I am running the latest version of the BIOS available from the
ASUS UPDATE utility.

I also noticed (after reading some other posts here) that I should set
the CPU speed to 200 and leave the memory speed for SPD instead of
AUTO. When I do this, the machine will post as an AMD Athlon XP 3200+
CPU...but the system only gets as far as to the bar across the bottom
for Windows XP initial startup...then it seems to hang, my HD light
comes on for about 20 seconds, and my machine power off. If I turn it
back on once, it powers off again, but a 3rd time and it comes up and
tells me that system is not set correctly and loads bios fail safe
settings. If I leave it underclocked to a 1.1 (11 x 100) it
works...but only enough for me to get here and post

Should I also consider replacing my RAM too? The RAM I have now
(unknown brand) but is 2 sticks of 512mb (identical to each other)
which report the SPD speed at 166. Anything else I should look for or
consider running or upgrading would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

what RAM do you have?..PC2100,PC2700 or PC3200?..have you run memtest to
check if the ram is any good?

The RAM I have is PC2100. Like I said in the initial post, I have 2
identical chips (512mb each) but I don't recall the brand name. I
have had them for quite some time, and they worked in this same system
with an XP 2200+ (1.8 cpu). The only thing different now is my CPU is
now a 3200+. I would like to have PC3200 and was thinking of getting
that next anyway...the problems I am having could be resolved if I
just upgrade the RAM. No I have not run any MEMTEST or anything...if
you would tell me where I could get such a utility, I'd gladly run it
but like I said I've had the ram for almost a year and have not had
any problems. I'd look and see exactly what brand they are, but they
have ram heat syncs on them and I am not sure how to remove it.

well to run an XP3200..you have the wrong ram..PC2100 is 133 .so you are
overclocking your memory by 67 mhz trying to run the CPU..not good. You need
PC3200 for that ..other than that the max you can run is 133 x 11= 1463
MHZ.So you need that mem upgrade soon.

Ok thanks...I had a pretty good suspicion that had something to do
with it...I am currently running at 1100 which I will continue to run
at until my new ram gets here Thanks!

The CPU is actually supposed to be a 3200+ which is supposed to run at
200fsb ... I will try tomorrow to set it to 166 and see if it runs as
a 2500+ more stable ... if it does run at that and seems stable I'll
take the CPU out and carefully remove the heat compound and see if it
could be one of these falsely labled chips...

Perchance, did you get this CPU on Ebay. I see at least one guy advertising
a 3200+ in his title line and at the top of his description. But later in
the description he makes it clear that he's actually selling a 2500+ which
has been tested to run as a 3200+.

Here's a perfect example:

I got this CPU from partspc.com - a company I saw from a link on
pricewatch.com - the invoice says (for that entry)

AMD Athlon XP 3200+ 400fsb Processor

Interestingly, when I set it to 166 and it detects as a 2500+ it seems
to work fine (my system) so I suspect it is indeed a 2500+ cpu that
was sent to me. I don't have time to take it apart now, so I will do
that when I get home and investigate the actual label itself.

It's very interesting that they've "erased" most of the label that would
show the actual chip identification. has anybody ever seen an Athlon CPU
with the top line half blank and the bottom two lines missing altogether?
It will be interesting to see what you find when you pull it and take a
look.

Since low-cost newegg.com has the 3200+ OEM for $171, I bet you got scammed

The plot thickens. I sent PartsPC an email noting that the picture of the
so-called 3200+ on their site had the bottom two lines of the identification
label blanked out. I asked them why and if this was actually a 2500+.

Their reply: "Picutre (sic) may not be exactly as shown - Possibly yes"

Sounds like blatant fraud to me.

I am not 100% sure what the chip is supposed to look like. I haven't
taken it apart yet (will in a couple hrs) but is there a link to a
good picture you could direct me to so I can compare once I get it
out?

Thanks for all the help so far...I really appreciate it.

If its not for the xp3200 stiker your looking for, you wont see anything because all xp are made
with a lock-up system ( inside) that prevent you from ( in exemple) buying a xp1200 (a cheap one)
and use it as a 3200.

Maybe you've just buy a barton core that runs at 333fsb and is rated to be a 3200 Not the one that
runs at 400.

It simple as that cause you've said that it was'nt stable at 400. Anyway amdxp 400fsb 3200 are
selled at 260$ can here that would be 191$ us. how much did you pay for it.

Take a look at this link:
http://coondwc.home.comcast.net/XP3200.jpg

The label at the bottom is what you're looking for.
The three lines on this one are:

AXDA3200OKV4E 4159143270002
AQXDA0317HPM 1999 AMD

Here's how to decode it:
http://www.amdboard.com/amdid.html

This example is a 3200 as indicated in the first entry. It was manufactured
in the 17th week of 2003 as indicated in the third entry.

The little black sticker on the side of my CPU says this:

AXDA3200DKV4E Y840917700218
AQXDA0351XPFW (c) 1999 AMD


Also, in one of my previous posts I said that it seemed to run stable
at 2500+ but that does not appear to be the case. After running it
for a few hours, I moved my mouse to interrupt the screen saver (logon
screen actually, running XP Pro) and as soon as I moved the mouse, the
computer rebooted. I set it back down to 1100+ (100fsb) and it seems
to work still.

Whats odd though, and I don't think this is normal, the WARRANTY VOID
IF REMOVED sticker was not on the cpu as I would have though, but
instead it was on the outside of the plastic clam shell container.

Also someone asked how much I paid for it. Below is a link to the
CPU/MB combo I purchased...it seems the price now is about the same as
it was when I got it...about $181 for the combo. Based on previous
posts I suspect that since the CPU itself in some places should be
about that price, perhaps they gave me one they got at a discounted
price (IE possibly incorrectly marked). Maybe I should send it back
and get a replacement and then try it once with the new one. All I
know is that I didn't pay nearly $200 to go down from an XP 2200+ (1.8
ghz) to an 1100+ system.

Also I'm not sure how accurate or how much help this will be, but I
downloaded CPUZ from www.cpuid.com and here is the output: (Keep in
mind that its currently underclocked to 1100+ in order for me to be
able to function without continuous and interrmittent reboots and
other odd things...when I set my CPU to the speed it is SUPPOSED to
be, everything it does tells me its acting like its overclocked...

So you have an authentic XP3200+ 400FSB 11x multiplier.

Assuming the CPU is genuine (for sake of further analysis), there are a
number of other components that could cause you problems:

1) Undersized power supply -- very common problem with high-performance
CPUs;
2) Bad memory chips -- CPUZ will show you the SPD rating. MEMTEST86 can be
used to stress test them.
3) Defective motherboard;
4) Bad XP install -- yes it can happen. A clean install dramatically
improved the performance of my A7V880.
5) Conflict with MB and components. For example, a Radeon 9600 is often
reported to be a problem.
6) Inadequate thermal cooling. What temperature is your CPU running at?

I think you have to eliminate all these before you conclude that the CPU is
defective.

I'm sure others will contribute other possibilities and ideas to my list.

Best of luck

I have a POWERMAGIC 600 watt power supply (I ordered it top of the
line about a year ago when I did my last upgrade) and I know 600 is a
bit larger than most (450 or 500 I've seen a lot of) so unless its
bad, I'd think it shouldn't be undersized. The only thing I have in
my system is a single 160 gig WD hard drive and a GeForce FX5700 256mb
video card and one IDE DVD Burner. Everything else is built onto the
MB, so it should be able to handle it. That rules out number 1.

I have 5 different memory chips I've tried (two different pairs of
identical 512mb chips (though one is 166 and the newest ones I just
got are 200) plus another 133 512mb chip. FWIW no matter which chips
I have in (taking into consideration not to overclock beyond what the
RAM is capable of handling) none of them run this CPU at anything
other than 1100+ so I am going to say that bad memory is probably not
the issue...that rules out number 2.

Now for number 3...defective MB, thats not something I'd hoped to
hear, but luckily (or unfortunately) I have another identical MB which
I just received about 2 weeks ago I was going to build my daughter a
computer with...I guess before I do that I could put my stuff on that
MB and see what happens.

I would like to rule out number 4...I wor extremely hard to keep my
copy of windows extremely efficient and like to think I take good care
of my OS. I don't install programs I don't need (heck, even if its
one I would like to try, I usually install it on another PC and once I
am satisfied with the results, I put it on mine...but this install I
am running with now is relatively brand new...the only thing thats
been added sine it was done is a newsreader, my IM chat programs, and
MS Office. Maybe a graphics program...it has worked flawlessly for
months (and still does, even with this hardware) if its
underclocked...

For number 5, refer to the above to see my additonal system
components...the only thing that isn't built onto my MB besides the HD
and RAM and CPU of course is the video card...and I have tried 3
different video cards all with the same results...so I'd like to
possibly rule that out.

How can I tell what the temp is on my CPU? My case has an LCD display
unit in the front which has the internal case temperature, but I'm
sure thats not the CPU temp. That temperature ranges from 74 to 79
degrees mostly...occasionally I have seen it reach 80 but if its ever
been above that, I just wasn't looking. The thermal compound I used
was the one that they sent with the CPU...I suppose its possible that
it could be inadequate and I do have some more I haven't
tried...didn't even think it was a culprit actually.




Sorry for the long post (mainly thinking out loud) but I will say that
the most likely case would hopefully be the motherboard. I'll try the
other one tomorrow and see what happens. I'd try it today but I've
about had it and know its going to take me about an hour or so to
fully swap them and get it up and running enough to see if its going
to work...and I don't want to sit here poking at it for an hour...I
may just play a couple of my highly neglected games at 1100mhz for now
and take tomorrow to work on the MB.

Have you tried relaxing your BIOS memory settings at 200mhz and then
running Memtest86? Think they may just be a little to tight for 200mhz
but might work OK at 100mhz. I would try setting them for 7-3-3-2.5 to
start.

Your power supply certainly sounds much more than ample : )

As far as memory goes, definitely do your tests using only one stick at a
time. That's all you need and it reduces the possibilities of one stick
being bad.

Do a google search on memtest86 and you'll easily find a place to download
it. Follow the instructions to create a floppy. Boot from the floppy and
let memtest86 run as long as possible.

As far as Windows goes, I also keep my version as clean as possible.
However, when I installed my new A7V880 motherboard, I had to install the
accompanying drivers and drivers for my new Radeon 9200. Soon found out the
drivers that came with the MB were generally buggy -- version 1.0 -- so I
had to download and install new drivers. Ditto for the Radeon drivers. By
the time I got done, my OS was a mess. Took 3 minutes to boot. A clean
install of Win XP solved all my problems.

Download ASUS Probe from www.asus.com to monitor your CPU temperature. You
should always run a "motherboard monitor" with a new MB/CPU installation.
Just to make sure you don't fry your CPU and that your voltages are correct.
I used to use MotherboardMonitor 5 but it doesn't support the A7V880 : (
However it does support your board so look for it using google.

Supposedly "misery loves company." My similar battle has been trying to
get my DVD writer working on my XP SP2 machine. Worked well before I
installed SP2 so I concluded that had to be the problem. I thought I
confirmed that by installing it in a Win ME machine I keep for the
grandkids. It worked! Proof positive! Next step was to install it in my
wife's XP machine with SP1 installed. It sorta worked but then it also
occasionally failed. So maybe SP2 isn't the problem. This battle has spanned
several weeks. Today I received a new Optorite 12X DVD writer (from newegg
$60 shipped) and, like magic, it works flawlessly! Tons of more
capabilities like DVD+/-R, dual layer and HD-Burn (can burn 80% more onto a
CDR 1.26GB to 1.44GB). So now I have this old (8/22/04) 8X DVD writer to
ponder.

Best of luck

I got Asus Probe and it says my CPU is running currently (with the
compound that came with my CPU) at 42c (107f) and the MB is running at
28c (82f).

I don't know if those are normal or not but the probe reports all as
normal.

I am going to look for the MOTHERBOARD MONITOR also and see if it
reports anything differently...and I'll let memtest86 do its thing and
see what happens...by the time I do that and play with my this other
MB I should be all set (hopefully) but will post one way or another.

I work in IT (hands on computer work for a couple years back) and
every time I run into a problem with my own PC's like this it
sometimes takes a while for me to figure it out - mainly because only
the extremely annoying cases pop up (which I should probably be
thankful for because after tackling something like this, I feel like I
can take on any other problem with more confidence that whatever it is
will most likely be conquered hehe...

Your temperatures are good. 107f is lukewarm water; OK for activating yeast
(either beer or bread) so it can't hurt your CPU. Of course I assume you're
running the CPU at 1.1Ghz so these temperatures will rise when you get it
up to full 2.2GHz speed. The maximum die temperature is something like 85C
but I'd get antsy above 55C. Actually much above 45C gets my attention.
I'm currently at 41C with a 2.167GHz 3000+.
