[AMD] Athlon XP 2500+barton core

Hello friends!
My Barton 2500+(fsb333) is not stabile on overclocking to fsb 400.My MoBo is K7N2 Delta 2LSR and I keep the ratio FSB:DDRAM frequency to 1:1.
I can make everything with this barton on 400fsb, but not gamming or PCMARK.It freezes or it mekes a debug message.
You can see may sistem specs on my signature.
What can i do to make it to FSB400?
THKS

Most newer systems draw a lot of power down the 12v rail. The XP chips don't use as much as a 939 with SLI+PCI-E & RAID thus can get away with lower 12v rail. 8 XP systems is the most I've built in a week (It what I do buy and sell parts/systems for a live'in). I've used 10a +12v to power XP 2500+ stock, I've run 3000+ (stock 333FSB) off my old citex 10a +12v. Its not about the watts or amps rating solely it how well the PSU handles and sends the power down the rails e.g QUALITY.
My antec boots my system (see sig) upto 2.6, yet I have a 500W (no name) with 20a +12 which won't boot @ 2.2. Its about QUALITY and clean power down each rail.
Just like others have said you need to find what your system can do. Its a matter of testing bit by bit, to find what the limit with your parts.
Box coolers in most cases don't offer ther best cooling. As with any CPU cooler correct fitting will help with temps, some are better then others.
I realy like pccooler as one of my suppliers use to do them cheap. Some models also supportted several sockets in 1 pack 462 478 754 via different mounts
I don't have the model in the picture but an older 1. With out case fans, and a mess of wires with bad air flow my old CPU (1800XP business PC) would get to 70+ under load on stock cooler running doom 3. I don't normally run it like that but I wanted to check out how high I could get it with only CPU fan. After installing 2 fans 1 in 1 out and cleaning up wires (for air flow) with a replacement pccooler over the standard H/S/F my temps drop to 39-42 idle 50 under load. I dont over clock the 1800 due to lack of AGP/PCI lock. Good cooling can help your parts live and perform better in most cases. Unless you do as a friend did and let water cooling leak on to X850XT-PE lol he just lucky it did not take out any other parts
Good to see that you have it going @ 190

using kt4avl mobo w/amd athlon xp 2500+ barton....problems oc'ing

Sorry if I'm posting in the "wrong" section - maybe you could tell me where I should post instead?
With a 333mhz max fsb board like the kt4avl, what should I be able to change to overclock, then? When I up the cpu freq from the default 166 to even as high as 180, it won't post...let alone 200 like I hear people do. What you're saying about the bios reading what's hard-coded into the chip during post makes me go 'hmmm', because if I set the freq down to the bios default of 100, the post reads the cpu as a 1900+.
I tried poking around on the internet for specs on successive xp chips, like the 2600+ and the 2800+. My chip, being the 2500+ which runs at 1.833ghz, has a multiplier of 11 with a freq of 166. Whereas,I found some doc on the other chips having multipliers of like 12.5 or 13.5, something like that - when I tried manipulating the multiplier higher than the stock 11, it posts, but it didn't change my operating frequency any when I viewed it from within Windows (system properties view in Windows tells you how fast your cpu is operating), but that did increase when I was manipulating the cpu frequency in the bios earlier (it's just that it 'hit the wall' at about 175mhz and wouldn't post with anything above that, even when increasing the cpu voltage to 1.7 or 1.75).
Can someone suggest what they might try, given these symptoms?

AMD Athlon XP 2800 (Barton Core) will not post at FSB 166 MHz.

Per top of the board “stickys” I have read a great number of the post on this board and done my homework to provide as much technical info to help you help me. This should explain some of it’s lengthy nature.
Aside from Memory, HDD and Video card every thing else has been unplugged from board and power or stripped out of slots to isolate the problem.

BIOS I have tried: The original; Ver:10A, ran fine on Athlon XP 1600 (1400 MP) 3 years.

- Supports Sempron L2 512K 3000+ CPU.)
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
•   Then I selected and flashed A6712 V 1.7 122602, boots and runs Win.XP-sp2 at FSB 100MHz & 133MHZ. (MSI:” Supports AMD Barton XP2800+ (FSB333) CPU
-Fixes system sometimes will have IDE CRC error -Fixes D-bracket2+USB keyboard, cannot use keyboard on DOS mode.)” which couldn’t run FSB 166MHz.
I checked with the Tech. at the local shop where I purchased the KT4V MoBo. He suggested I try a different BIOS but he didn’t specify which one. He is a personal friend and admits to some bad luck and dead boards due to flashing bios so reluctant to mess with it.
•   Now running: A6712vms.1B0 – MSI hid this BIOS V. found here:
•   http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=362&kind=1
•    On a different page than the 2 versions mentioned above. http://www.msicomputer.com/support/bios_result.asp
•    No wonder people are frustrated and confused about different MoBo versions there ID #’s and the BIOS versions them selves as seen on this news board. MSI’s fault, no fault of anyone here trying to help.
A6712vms.1B0
Runs fine at FSB 100 (shows as XP 1250+) and FSB 133 (shows as XP 2200+) Booting to Win. XP-sp2 on CMOS, default setup other than minor tweaks to accommodate MSI Ti 4200 AGP 8X 125mb graphics card or Gilmond PCI card. But which couldn’t run FSB 166MHz .
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.

[VIA] unofficial FAQ for KT4 series motherboards
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=6090.0
Eg: - KT4 Ultra (MS-6590), 6-channel hardware audio codec
• KT4 Ultra (Pure Version)
• KT4 Ultra-B (Bluetooth ready)
• KT4 Ultra-BSR (Bluetooth ready + Serial ATA RAID)
• KT4 Ultra-FISR (Bluetooth ready, Serial ATA RAID, Gigabit LAN, IEEE 1394)
- KT4V (MS-6712), 6-channel software audio codec
• KT4V-L, with onboard 10/100 LAN
- KT4M (MS-6596) micro-ATX board
• KT4M-L, with onboard 10/100 LAN
- KT4A Ultra, (MS-6590) NEW!! based on KT400A chipset
• KT4A Ultra (Standard Version)
• KT4A Ultra-SR (Serial ATA RAID)
• KT4A Ultra-FISR (Serial ATA RAID, Gigabit LAN, IEEE 1394)
And a very similar version of this on Official MSI site. Both seem to try and make a difference between modles with on board Lan, and Blue Tooth ready.
Take a look at my original box sticker:
*As seen on face of MoBo: KT4V MS-6712 Ver:10A
*The Original Box bar code label: KT4V-L (601-6712-050)
K7, KT400. 5.1 chnl. S/W Audio, LAN, D-Bracket 2.
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

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.

Installing Windows XP Pro SP2 on K7N2 Delta2-FSR + AMD Athlon XP 2500+

I tried and tried to install the Windows XP Pro SP2, but it just doesn't work. I don't use the RAID with the WD 80GB SATA HD.
When the installation CD finished loading the required system files and "Starting the windows" in the blue screen, after than the system just hang there. Anyone who met this problem before? How to solve it?

The memory module that I am using now is Kingston PC3200 1GB DDR, I can't find the power supply details.
I just updated the newest BIOS to it and I don't configure the board to do any overclocking.
Just now I tried to configure any possible settings in the BIOS to make the system works, and I unplug the adapter for the mouse to use the USB port.
Guess what? It worked...
I hope it will keep working in the future, otherwise I don't know what I can do...

O/cing athlon xp 2600+ (barton)

I am planning on o/cing my athlon xp 2600+ but O.o if i select 14/15x multiplier in bios i get 4/5 O.o btw im still using a stock cooler so untill i get my coolmaster jet 7 it doesnt really matter though ^_^ btw y does my pc stop booting after i raise fsb over 179 well i think i fixed my blue screen erros by raising core to 1.675V but its not reallly stable its changing between 1.7 and 1.675 so should i worrie about that or not?? thx for the help already.
CPU temp while browsing and playing songs 50C in corecenter so -3 =47C
sys temp 35-36C stock cooler O.o 1 sidepanel fan

hi im new here so take it easy on me ok?
i was also thinking to OC my CPU but i dont have a clue where to start.
my setup:
AMD Athlon XP 2600+ ( Barton core 333fsb ) cooler: zalman 6000 copper
KT6 Delta LSR
Twinmos DDR 512mb X1 pc400
powersupply: Enermax model:EG365P-VE
+3.3v = 32A
+5v = 32A
+12v = 26A
GraphicCard: Nvidia GeForce4 TI 4200 AGP 8X 128mb DDR
my HDD is a Maxtor 80GB 8mb cache S-ATA 150, including 1X 80GB maxtor 2mb cache ATA 133 and a Maxtor 40GB 2mb cache ATA 133 ( if this matter at all )
and im running this all on WinXP home Edition.
ok, im using this centrecore feature and it tells me that my CPU runs at 100Mhz FSB and the multiplier is 11.5.
my Vcore voltage is 1.66.
my 3.3 voltage is skipping between 3.38 ~3.41.
my 5 voltage is 5.05
and my 12 voltage is 11.76
now i dont really want to push my CPU to the limit but it would be nice that i could ACTUALLY use the 2600+ instead of 1150.
if i can clock my CPU to 2000 safely and runs stable then its ok, that would be worth the money i invested in the CPU.
thanx in advance

KT6V-LSR not showing XP 3000+ Barton Core

I recently purchased this system from a friend. It showed 1.26 as the Cpu and 256mb ram. I just put in a Athlon XP 3000+ Barton Core 333MHz and 1gb of DDR memory. When I restarted the system it shows the memory but the CPU shows as 1700+. I checked the CPU that I took out that was showing as 1.26 and it was a 1700+. So this system isn't showing the processor speed correctly. Any help would be appreciated.
Plus I noticed in my system tools>system information that the BIOS is showingAMI version 07.00T with the date as 4/2/2001. I tried using the MSI Live Update 3 to install the 2.0 BIOS. I first used the Windows Mode and then tried the DOS Mode. After restarting the system both times it came to a DOS screen with Different options. I know that one was "press F1 to setup" and the other was "press F2 for defaults" there were other options that I didn't write down.

Thank you very much guys! It is finally is showing it right. I just was thinking of something else when I used the 133MHz . I set it to 166 and now it's ok.

MSI KT4V-L & Athlon XP 2600+ Barton

Hi all,
I just upgraded my Athlon XP 2000+ to a Athlon XP 2600+ Barton and i have noticed a problem.
After putting the new CPU on the mobo and a new HS&Fan *Volcano 7+* then flashign the bios, i have had 2 weird reboots.
I had a error once when playing the UT2004 Demo on the 2000+ but i also get errors every now and again witht he 2600+ but thats no big problem its a beta demo so you might expect it but the last error i got said some info as the others did then when i hit ok the pc rebooted.
Also earlyer i went away from the pc then came back and it had rebooted itself again im not sure if this was a power cut or somethin so i am just checking if there any any known problems with the MSI KT4V-L and the AMD Athlon XP 2600+ Barton.
System specs are as follows:
Windows XP /SP1
Latest Drivers
AMD Athlon XP 2600+
MSI KT4V-L
NVIDIA Geforce FX 5900 Ultra 265MB
1GB DDR 400Mhz
550W PSU

AMD Athlon XP 2600+
MSI KT4V-L
NVIDIA Geforce FX 5900 Ultra 265MB
1GB DDR 400Mhz
550W PSU
This is what you list for your system. You also admitted the PSU is a Q-Tec, and have been shown the warning about Q-Tec being very low quality.
1. The 2600 is going to use more power than the 2000.
2. The GeForce FX 5900 uses a lot of power.
3. 1GD Ram uses a lot of power.
You have not listed how many drives you have in your system, but there must be at least 2 (1 HDD & 1 CD) those also use power.
The error message is pointing to a video driver as the culprit, but I am willing to bet it is actually caused from the video card's inability to operate due to low power.
I would try borrowing a better quality PSU, and testing with that, and chances are the problem will disappear.

AMD Athlon 2400+ core speed

I have recently purchased a new MSI KT4 Ultra (FISR)
MS-6590 motherboard and an AMD Athlon 2400+ processor.
However the motherboard is only picking up the processor to be an AMD Athlon 1800+. When I go into the bios and look at the CPU core speed it is set to 100Mhz when it should be 133Mhz. I would change this value but it is disabled (greyed out). How can I set my motherboard to use the processor correctly asa 2400+ ?
Thanks
Paul

Hi, i have similer problem, i have the same MB and chip the 2400xp and when i put it on 133mhz and 15x multi which is stated on the MSI website and save it in the bios, my monitor light flashes, its like my graphics card is not working, but i can hear my pc booting up, but i just can't see anything, i have updated my graphics card drivers and the bios for the MB but still no luck, i have to clear the cmos to get my monitor back but then the chip speed is back to 1800.
i have a ti4200 8x agp card and i am a little miffed as i didn't buy a 2gig chip to have it running at 1.6gig, does anyone have any idea.

Will a K7N2G-ILSR run a Barton Core AMD XP 3000+

Will a MSI K7N2G run a Barton Core AMD XP 3000+ (333Mhz FSB)??????
If so how do you set the FSB to 333Mhz??

yes and you set it to 166,333 is a ddr speed
it may mean getting a newer bios to get it recognised

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

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

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).

AMD Athlon 64 3800+ cpu upgrade to AMD Athlon 64 X2

Hello everyone,
First of all, I have been to cpu-upgrade.com and typed in my current (CPU)--> AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 2.40GHz (motherboard)--> ASUS A8M2N-LA (Naos) GL6.
According to the website, my AM2 Socket (940pin) is capable of upgrading to a Dual Core, Anyone know if that site is accurate or not? Any help would be nice. I need to get away from this single core.
1) Some CPU models require a BIOS upgrade, which a BIOS upgrade for this board is not available.
2) A lot of X2 Dual Cores work either using a 4400+, 4600+, and so on....
I do have a 550watt PSU installed, also I am using MSI Nvidia GeForce GT620 PCI-express 16x graphics, not using onboard.
I have read that some BIOS' upgrades terminate the onboard video, is that true? Basically, whatever I already have installed is current and up to date with all video/sound drivers, etc... If anybody very knowledgable knows for sure if an AMD Athlon 64 X2 will work in my system that would be nice. My specs below......
OS: Windows Vista Home Basic (32bit)
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 2.40GHz
RAM: 2GB (GDDR2)
PSU: 550watt (all 20+4 for main cable to motherboard connected using all 24 pins + 4pin connector for CPU? I believe.
Sound: Realtek HD ALC888 High Definition Audio
Video: MSI Nvidia GeForce GT620 (GDDR3 with 2GB Video Memory).
Only thing I am bottle necking on is the CPU, and I would love to upgrade to Dual Core, once again, thank you for the help.

Motherboard for AMD Athlon Mobile

Which msi motherboards work best with amd mobile cpus ? I have an AMD Athlon 1500+ left from my broken laptop and was wondering if i could use it.

k7n2 works but it over volts it alittle.
some people get the mobile for the k7n2 to be able to overclock REAL hard.
heard of people reaching 2.7ghz on air cooling with a mobile.
but that was with 2500+ mobile
