AMD Athlon 2600+ only reading as 2000+ on K7N2 Delta

First off, here's my machine:
k7n2 Delta Mobo
Athlon 2600+ w/ Heatsink and fan and 333 FSB
512 MB DDR PC 3200
Liteon CD-RW/DVD Combo
60 GB Western Digital HDD
350 Watt Power Supply
Let me know if I missed anything
The basic problem is that My processor is only being read as an Athlon 2000 at best. I've tried to change every setting imaginable in the BIOS, to no avail. The highest core/bus ratio i can get is 12.5, at which it reads as 2000, and at 13 it nosedives to 667.
One interesting tidbit is that if I try to move the J10 jumper from safe (100) to User Select (133/166) the machine doesn't post (I thought I had it figured out for sure there). It would also be important to note that it was indeed functioning flawlessly and registering as a 2600+ before my other power supply crapped out. Well, not flawlessly (audio) but that's another post, I guess.

I'll give that a try. Thanks for the fast repsonse. By 'better' psu, do you mean a quality one, or simply with one higher capacity?

MSI KT4 ultra and AMD ATHLON 2600+ and Corsair 512Mb 3200

Hello,
i've bought a: MSI KT4 ULTRA and a AMD ATHLON 2600+
Today, i've updated the bios to the version 1.3! So: no problem to reboot after the process complete.
BUT, now i can't set the CPU at 2.16Ghz (280Mhz clock) because if i set the clock up to 100Mhz it doesn't reboot anymore! the motherboard detect the frequency @ 1250 Mhz :(((
Please: HELP ME
(sorry for the grammar and / the english) but i'm a french guy.

Hi,
I had the same issues, see the thread:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/e_service/forum/viewindex.php?threadid=11717&boardid=13&styleid=1
Essentially I had to set (in the BIOS) the FSB to 166 and left the Multiplier on auto. This ment the processor was reported properly as 2600+, but the memory will only run at 333 MHz... Yeah I think I wasted the money on getting the latest and greatest memory too....
Had me worried for a while, I though my supplier had palmed a bad chip off on me.... It just that the board can't do the highest speed chips and the highest speed memory at the same time (it states that that is unsupported in the manual...)
hope the helps...

K7N2G-L hangs on AMD Athlon 2600+

I have just bought the following hardware :
. K7N2G-L
. AMD Athlon XP 2600+ FSB 333
. 2 x 512 MB Memory DDR 400 PC 3200 (don't know the brand)
. ISO Power Supply 300 W
. DVD-ROM Drive LG
. Hard Drive Seagate 7200 RPM 120 GB
When I have installed WIN XP, after rebooting I noticed it was indicating Processor Clock at 1.24 GHz. I have then checked and confirmed this at BIOS. Have changed FSB speed on BIOS, from 100 MHz (default) to 166 MHz, and confirmed that now the processor clock was being recognized as a 2600+ one, with 2083 Mhz clock. But when I proceeded with WIN XP it always hangs on very start of it, at a blue screen.
I have formatted the HDD and tried to install WIN 98, WIN ME, WIN 2000, and all gave me the same blue crash at the installation phase. Then I realize that if lowering the FSB parameter on BIOS (less than 166 MHz), the system ran fine, allowing me to install any OS.
What is happening ? This board's specs accepts such a Processor. Is this board deffective ? I bought it just a week ago. Very frustrated. Please, kindly answer.

Thank you for reply.
I have a more accurate info on my hardware :
. Power Supply is not only 300 W. Instead, it is a model ISO-500D, stating on
the label a 420 W
. The memory brand is ELIXIR, and I have checked on their website about
compatibility with various mobo, but I can not found MSI K7N2G on the list.
Could you please verify at http://www.elixir-memory.com/, on the
Compatibility Information link ? Tks.

Nimble.

Help! amd xp3000+ barton temp's.... k7n2 delta ilsr

Hi all, (sorry for the lengthy post)
Ive recently built a new system based on the K7N2 DELTA ILSR, great mobo, however my cpu temps are extremely high! on idle 48C and on load nearly 60C. the mobo temp hits approx 40c on load and 34 on idle.
I had an issue with cooling as the cpu heat diode would freeze my pc as it was hitting temps of 58c on idle. i was using the coolermaster aero 7+.... no good at all!!!!! even when on full rpm. Now im using a vantec 80mm fan on a Thermalright SLK-800A. much improved, however still extremely hot.
after reading this review (section headed: Heat Dissipation: Thermal Conditions and S2K Bus Disconnect) :
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/athlonxp-3000.html
......on "S2k bus disconnect" created by AMD for the barton range.
As the article states, it reduces Cpu temps ALOT!! but im not too sure ion how to activate it or even if my MSI motherboard supports it....
Can anyone shed some light???
system:
Radeon 9800
1GB 3200 Ram
xp 3000+ Barton
Sound Audigy 2
Thanks, Sav

Sorry about the long reply!!! the first thing i would like to say is why does this happen at 58C even with the bios temp settings diabled??? pehapes MSI could Answer this?
I have spent countless hours trying to fix this problem and a lot of £££. A bit of background to me I am a design engineer and i like my PC to work well. I have the following main components
xp3200+ based system (Max die 85C)
with dual 512ddr sticks running at 400mhz
Matrox Parphilia
10K SATA hard disk
7,200 133ATA hard drive
Plus motherboard Nvidia chipset
these all kick out a lot of heat the (CPU contributing 76.8w).
first i started out with a very cheap case and standard amd heatsink. I found after about 5 minutes my pc kept crashing i automatically thought that it was probably the case temperature so monitored this found every time cpu reached 58C it crashed on the dot. The only conclusion i can draw from this that this MB has some thermal protection that can not be switched off but i am guessing perhapes MSI would like to answer this.
I quickly decided as an engineer that the best thing would be to go and buy a aluminuim case with lots of case fans (Basically a big heatsink itself). After a lot of searching i settled for a Coolermaster ATC110. It has four case fans all run at full speed all the time. Now this stoped the crashing problem it only now crashes if i put it under continous loading. Then i went out and bought a new cpu heatsink to replace the amd standard one. This had a minor effect on cpu temp but again under high loads the system crashed at 58C. Obvoiusly as an engineer i satred to think that the amount of noise the system with all its fans going at max is like being put in a wind tunnel.
I then turned to looking at the thermal diserpation requiremnts of all the bits in my system. I worked out that i need to disserpate 281Wmax of heat with my current setup. The kind of heat a small electric fire produces!!!. I begun to wounder if i could shift enough air through the two exhaust fans at the rooms ambient temp to do this. After some calculations I found that my case exhaust case fans are only just surfficent to disspate this amount. Which could explain this the crashing. because the higher the case temp the lower the capability of the heatsinks to conduct heat away from the item.
In the end i gave up with active cooling methods (heatsinks and fans) and realised my only option was to go for external cooling. I now have the system setup with a koolance exos cooling both hardisks graphics card cpu and MBchipset. I know this is very extreme but the case fan noise got to me now i have disconected all case fans except for the ones in my thermaltake power supply which are virtually silent. After about 12 evenings of testing and installation I now have a system which is not only stable but the CPU temp is only 32C.
Obvoiusly getting the heat out of the case is a good idea. The Exos is only running at it's lowest setting which means the fans arnt making any noticable noise.
MOST IMPORTANTLY IT DOES NOT CRASH ANY MORE. AND THERE IS THE PSSIBILTY OF OVERCLOCKING.
The question still remains though why 58C?

AMD Athlon XP 3200+ reading as 1.2 GIG

My Mobo is a K7N2GM2. I read Dr Stu's FAQS and he addressed the issue but I already got it from 600MHz to 1200MHz by correctly setting the FSB. What I'm missing is the Multiplier, my processor should read 2.4 GIG. I've flashed the BIOS (version W7051NMS) and have the current chipset drivers. Suggestions please?
Also. I have an ATI 9800 Pro that has lines down the screen. They are approx. 2 inches wide, yellowish / tan in color, and are so faded, they are only visible with a light background.
Thanks for any help,
Dave

There is no doubt you have a 3200+? What do markings say on cpu? It is definitely a 3200+ It was running the proper speed in my last setup. But I forgot to compare it up against the lsit of processors in the link from Dr Stu, will do it tommorow.
I wonder if multiplier is hidden and you need to unlock? When you enter bios try Shift + F2, then Alt + F3 (I think) to see if anything further is revealed in Cell Menu. I did the shift Ft the Alt F3 and it did unlock additional features in my cell menu. No options adjusted my CPU spped though.
I'd be inclined to clear cmos again by this method then load optimised defaults only; exit bios then reboot and go back into bios and change cpu fsb only; exit and re-enter bios go into cell menu and see what is displayed for 'Current cpu clock' No changedoing this either.
Do you have another cpu to try? Good to know whether another one gets identiified properly and whether multiplier is correct. Good call, I convinced a friend to let me use his processor, an AMD 2200+ off of a MSI KT3 Ultra-R mobo and discovered the following... My mobo showed the correct clock speed wthout doing anything special in BIOS, so something is up with my CPU. I swiped his video card, an old ATI 7200 64meg; my pc ran with no lines, so my 9800 Pro is busted. Still don't know why my PC3200 RAM won't work.
(Now tell me here what a jack hole I am, I've already planned my pc work retirement). I took my 3200+ and put it in his thinking it would just clock my chip down to whatever spped. I was mainly just curious as to what would happen Nothing, his pc wouldn't boot. The D-Led said it was the IDE controller hanging, 2 reds up. No biggie, I put his back in and it did the same thing. Reset BIOS and same thing... PC boots as far as turning on mobo / case fans, but monitor stays amber. I disconnected drives, same. Swapped RAM, same. Swapped power supplies, same. I geuss I fried it by putting my CPU in it? My CPU is back in mine working. I dredged out my old mobo, the recently retired Asrock mobo, swapped his out with it and same thing (no D-led on Asrock board, but by same I mean amber LED on monitor, only system fans run).
And what were your PSU again? Max amps, please. There is a list on the PSU box.
Hercules
115VAC 7A 50/60Hz 230VAC 3.5A 50/60Hz
+3.3V +5V +12V -5V -12V +5V

you say its a "400w PSU", better hope its not Q-Tec Is that a manufacturer type?
This ran long, sorry.

K7T turbo2 and Athlon 2600+

HI ALL!
I just updated my bios t V 3,6 and put an AMD Athlon 2600+ on the MB.
When the computor boots up it show that ther´s a 2000 instead.
Enybody know why?
Thanks ADDE

ADDE
XP2600/266 works great on my T2. To make sure of which FSB you have, check the last letter of the top line of info on the CPU. If C then its a 133/266 model, if D then its a 166/333 model.
Your meyory should be fine. Whats the specs on your power supply, and are you absolutely sure you have the heatsink mounted correctly?

K7N2 Delta-ILSR Reads 2600+ as 2000+

'lo there.
I got a replacement of my old board and now it only detects my cpu as an AMD Athlon XP 2000+ whereas before it was detected as a AMD Athlon XP 2600+, which is what it is. I'd really appreciate any help on this topic. I've searched the forums for similar topics but haven't found the result's I'm looking for.
so, any takers?

Hi,
d1git: You say you've searched the forum on this problem - hmmmm.
One of two things (or both). Make sure the FSB Jumper on your motherboard is set to "USER" rather than "SAFE". Then make sure the FSB setting (in the BIOS) is set to either 133 (for 266FSB CPU) or 166 (for 333FSB CPU) etc. If you're still having problems then try clearing the BIOS (CMOS) first:
Look here:
How to Clear CMOS
BTW, I'm sure this stuff is in your manual !!!

Help! amd athlon xp 2600

hello,i have a kt2 combo-L mainboard.. and a amd athlon xp 2600, but it`s been called xp 2000! Why? i can only set the fsb to 133.. dosent my mainboard suport the cpu?

Use the pinmod to force the processor use a specified FSB (or multiplier
pinmod guide; http://www.ocinside.de/go_e.html?/html/workshop/pinmod/amd_pinmod.html
Use the socket view and the small "hair" of a stripped computer molex wire or similar to short circuit the required pins on the socket.

K7t Turbo2 and an AMD Athlon XP 2600+

I recently flashed the BIOS on my K7t Turbo2 board to the 3.6 version which supports AMD Athlon XP processors up to 2600+. However, after I installed the new cpu, set the core voltage to 1.65, the multiplier to 11.5 and the DCM value to 166 the computer would not boot. Instead I received a simple "Beep" then two to three seconds later, another "Beep." This continues to no avail and it takes almost ten "hard reboots" which is killing my hard disks to even get back into the BIOS configuration, wherein I modified the DCM settings to 133 instead of 166. Now the computer boots but continues to tell me:
Unknown Processor at 1533mhz
When I did get it to run at 1910mhz (notice 1910, not 1917 as it should be), it also said Unknown Processor. Then, on one of the three ocassions I was actually able to boot the computer at the higher clock speed, none of my drives appeared. On the second ocassion, the Linux boot process froze and on the third, Windows XP wouldn't boot. Now, if anyone has any suggestions as to what BIOS settings I can try, or even resetting my BIOS to a previous version, then trying to reflash it, that would be great.... If, however, this is more of an issue with an MSI BIOS patch, please release another version that works. Thanks much!

Go with the Tbred 2400+ bud, Thats what i have at the mo in my KT3 Ultra 2C, and with my old MSI ti4200 with 128mb, it kept up with a K7N2 Delta ILSR which is running a Barton 2600+ and an MSI FX5600XT with 256mb (that rig only beats me on the extra test in 2001se and 2003 that the FX card covers).
Cant wait for my K7N2 Delta ILSR to arrive to go with my Ti4600.
Should happily blow the Barton rig away

MSI K7T Turbo2 + AMD Athlon XP 2600+

I have downloaded lastest BIOS for MSI K7T Turbo2 but i haven't able to run CPU at full speed (133x16=2128 MHz). And there's no multipler greater than 15 available...
currenlty i'm using 145xdefault (12,5) = 1812,5 MHz... has anyone solved this problem? CPU = AMD Athlon XP 2600+ (333)

Oh bugger!
After posting this, I continued scanning and found the answer - and coming back here, I now understand BD51's answer. Didn't sink in first time round!
Anyway, I have apparently purchased the 333fsb version, blissfully unaware that was a 266 version, and that THAT is the one I SHOULD have bought.
Ah well, that'll learn me to check the spec's more closely in future.
Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

Can sum1 help me wif my AMD ATHLON XP 2000

i need to no if i can test my CPU or motherboard without another system the same, cause i cant get hold of a mobo to stik my CPU in or a CPU to stik in my MOBO is there any other solution say obvious signs i should look for on my mobo or CPU any help would be appriciated THANKS!!!

Sweet as i dont have a problem with your rules mate its all good, and if u so good at this u could have told me to do continuity tests on my Mobo, also voltage test to verify everything getting the correct voltage, ive carried out my own tests on the mobo an what do ya no its got a bad connection through a track on the topside of the mobo right next to the CPU where the HSF connects to the foot, i have scratched the mobo surface with a screwdriver whilst removing the CPU and broken a track, so much for not been able to test this stuff osnavi, u guys deal more with software issues aye and hardware conflicts an stuff

However, v. 1.c did not work and would not post at all with the newly installed Barton AMD-XP 2800. [frankly this attempt was months ago and I do not remember whether it would post at the slower 100 and 133 FSB speeds, and also to muddle my memory further I was upgrading an A7N8X-D with a Barton XP 3000 and having similar problems on the ASUS,,, which is now running fine at full potential. ; - p

No post at FSB 166 mhz (once, it did flash a post screen stating AMD Athlon XP 2800 for about 2 sec. before going blank) Manual power down. Just now I rebooted with FSB 166, and again saw the AMD Athlon XP 2800 at top of the post screen as I hit pause break,,,, then the machine power crashed to Off. Once it even loaded Win.XP-sp2 but crashed to power off with in 2 min.
I must have booted this beast a dozen times or more after Clear CMOS jumper each time it went to blank screen with mach. still running. Start over; set Default settings and work up with FSB 100, 133, each time to read what POST says and see if it will boot to O/S.
Btw: I have looked for clear evidence through the not so specific descriptions MSI uses to separate these board model #s and may be part of my current problem with correct board ID = correct BIOS ID.

Yup, it says all this on the sticker and the in the manual and verified on the MoBo. So I can only guess at all parts of the puzzle as they gave them to me which lead me to the afore mention BIOS versions I ran, or am running. The sticker points to nearly half of the boards above except for the MS-6712 and the Ver:10a which is what I based my BIOS choices on. If someone knows differently and can lead me to official Nfo with a better answer I’m all ears.
Just saw this: Latest Official BIOS : KT4 MS-6590 (1.4), KT4V MS-6712 (1.8 ) , KT4M MS-6596 (1.1)>>Here: [VIA] unofficial FAQ for KT4 series motherboards
« on: 24 October 02, 05:14:04 » But these links and all but one link in this ‘sticky’ are broken .
So if (1.8) is the Latest Official BIOS for KT4V MS-6712 then what is this at the Official MSI SITE ?

Please also keep in mind I’m not trying to scuff anyone’s shoes…I just want to get what’s right for my board so that it and the CPU can live up to their full, "as advertised" potential and run with the other 3 big dogs under my desk.
This seems descriptive enough and rather lengthy. Just doing my homework and reporting my findings so I won’t include actual CMOS settings unless requested. I have notes on all settings I currently use to boot with this problem.
Other Dogs:
ASUS A7N8X-D running Athlon XP 3000 barton core 10 (runs fsb 400..whoknew?), Mem:2.5gb Super Talent
ASUS A7M266-D running Athlon XP 2800 (mp), Mem: 3gb Super Talent
Athlon XP 2800 (mp)
I don’t want to boar you with the details.
Yes, and the above have been upgraded w/new chips GFX cards and BIOS,,, NP.
Cut to sound track: Down on the BIOS again,,, wasn’t that Creedance Clear Water Revival?
Any suggestions or insights are much appreciated.

Welcome, and thank you for a thorough input! Hope I don't miss something you already said!
Quick version: Try setting processor voltage to 1,5 volt.
Long version:
Posting at wrong FSB can be put down to two things:
1 The processor isn't what you thought it is, but I think you eliminated that.
2 The system cannot run the processor at the correct speed. Mainly this has to with overheating, and/or that memory and processor cannot cooperate. This must be it, as you noticed the processor is correctly recognised.
You have little connected right? Then the best thing would be to pull power cable out. Take the motherboard and redo the seating of the processor, this is much better done with motherboard taken out.
At the same time, I suggest you clear CMOS. Should always be done when changing processor, and I've noticed on the Internet there are a few 1,5V XP2800 around.

AMD-XP 2600+ and MSI KT4V MS-6712 MB

Can somebody help me pls? I do have a MSI KT4V MS-6712 Motherboard and an AMD Athlon XP 2600 processor. According the CPU RATIO settings table I should put the ratio 16 and the FSB on 133, but I don't have a 16. I only have a 15 and if I use the 15 instead of the 16 I do get a performance of 733 Mhz. When I use the 12.5/13 the system says it's a XP-2000+, but I'm still missing some Mhz. I did already upgrade the BIOS to version 1.8 but no results.
Pls help me, I'm getting crazy! ;(

I changed it into 166 Mhz and now it's acting as a XP 2600+.
Rob, thanks for your suggestion and help in this matter.
:P

KT4AV-L paired with a Amd Athlon XP2600 333mhz 512 L2 Cache Barton Bios setup question

Hi Guys
I have just recently bought a KT4AV-L paired with a Amd Athlon XP2600 333mhz 512 L2 Cache Barton. Having browsed over to the cpu support after not being able to get my machine to register a 2600+ from the bios i looked up the support to see that is doesn't support that processor in the list can someone tell me if it does and how i need to setup my bios to register is a 2600+ or near, as i can only get about 1.5 ghz out of it at the moment. I adjusted the fsb to 140 and the system hangs on powerup and i get nothing but it gives a memory error from the d-panle. Any ideas? should i just be running the fsb at 133 or 166?
Setup includes motherboard + processor listed
512 crucial ddr 333 pc 2700
radeon 9600 256 agp 8

Never really worked with AMD before first time, not really understanding if i have made simple mistakes.

Right bit of an update
I have the machine ticking over quite nicely @ FSB 133. This i can increase to about 155 and then it dies. So again i have tried to run it at 166 and i get the blank screen the the d-plate registers a Memory Detection Test and stops there.
I have tried to run the system from start at the FSB 155 and i get the same problem with the system hanging.
I have been reading a bit on the forums and found that it might be my power supply. I am using
A-CASE INDUSTRIAL INC (Says AMD recommended, a bit old though)
model : LC-A300ATX
3.3v - 20A
5v - 30A
12 - 10A
5 and 3v combined = 160w
300 watt max.
Also i have the crutial memory mod in there which i also realise could be the problem.
I was hoping if someone could maybe help me identify the most likley course from how the system is acting to what the problem might be, also could it be to do with the CPU temp.
cheers
