Is the MSI K7N2-Delta-L any good?

Hurk · Jun 30, 2003

MSI K7N2-DELTA-L nVIDIA nForce2 Ultra 400 .

This motherboard is cheaper than some of it's competitors. Anyone seen any reviews?

Deadphishy · Jul 4, 2003

bump, i'm looking at getting one too

neverman · Jul 5, 2003

Yes, it's good. I have the ILSR and my buddy has the L. We both built them up at work and are quite happy with them. It depends on the features you're shopping for.

msi always has good packaging but i would recommend the abit or epox boards if you plan to oc...otherwise, the asus and msi...in that order......

neverman · Jul 6, 2003

Why not recommend the Gigabyte? It's supposed to be one of the best OC'r boards.

warning... before gettin the msi board, make sure the ram works on it... theres alot of ram issues.

I using it right now.. with OCZ pc3500 and pc3200
works fine, my first AMD system, i'm happy

I am considering purchasing this board myself as the pricing is very attractive. Does anyone know if this board has the four mounting holes through the motherboard to mount Swiftech MX462 heatsink? This will be a major factor in my decisiion to purchase it or not.

moonman · Jul 6, 2003

no holes for mounting as far as I know

This board despite the nForce2 does not have PCI lock so you may want to take that into consideration when buying! The Epox 8RDA+ is $83 at newegg and is a lot better than the MSI board...I would look in that direction.

Thanks dude. Now I gotta find a place in Canada that has those great prices!

I've just built 3 rigs using this board. Never a problem. I used Kingston RAM.

Hurk · Jul 6, 2003

YIkes. That's an awesome deal. There's nowhere in Canada even close to that price. They don't ship to Canada either =((((

BUMP Anyone seen any reviews other than Toms Hardware?

Jarhead7236 · Jul 7, 2003

i did read that the gigabyte boards are very good...that was from an anandtech review so i'll wait and see....

This is a budget board, the Gigabyte board was almost double the price. You get what you pay for, but I think this is a good board for the money.

I won an auction on ebay for this board today. I got it for $64 plus $8 shipping. It is new, not used, and the seller seemed very professional and had good feedback. I wish it would have the holes so I can put my swiftech heatsink on it. Oh well, maybe I'll figure out something to do or fork over some money for another heatsink that will work with this board.

Hurk · Jul 8, 2003

Let me know how it goes.

i hope its just what ive seen....but in the shop i work in, we've had more DOA/come back soon after sold Gigabyte boards than any other.

the only thing ive seen worse is HP computers. but hey, our service dept has to stay busy somehow......

i've had bad experiences with gigabyte as well. i love my Abit NF7-S. i'd recommend this board to ANYONE reguardless of what price range they're in.
