[AMD] XP2800+ or 3000+ with KT6V-LSR

I just got a this computer from a friend of a friend. When I got it it was showing 1.26GHz so I purchased a 3000+ Barton core cpu. After I poped the old cpu out and installed the 3000+ I noticed the old chip was a 2800+. The place that built the system didn't change the FSB to 166 so that it didn't show the right GHz. My question is: which would be the best cpu out of these two for me to OC? Plus the system case is clear plexaglass so they put a power supply in it that is 3 sides are blue plexiglass. There is no sticker on the power supply or anything that I can find that will tell me what kind it is or what wattage it is. Is there some way to be able to find out this information? Any help would be appreciated.

True Chile every CPU is different and can go further or not so far but still I'd say it would be less strain on the 3000 as it's already at a higher speed to start with.
You could test each one to see how far they can be overclocked and then choose the best one mrbadnback.
fair enough but overclocking is about bang for the buck...i don't see the 3000 thoroughly outperforming the 2800, oc-wise....a 500MHz better oc on the 3000+ will not be a very noticeable gain in performance...go back a couple of years to the golden dlt3c jiuhb 1700 chips, that were getting extreme oc's compared to the higher speed processors, and outperforming them...plus, the KT6V-LSR doesn't seem to oc as well as the plain ol' KT6 Delta did...I had 2 of those at 221FSB with a DLT3C 1700 and a barton 2500+...that being said, he's still gonna get something for nothing by oc'ing....

What 7600 GS work stable with KT6V-LSR ?

Hello,
I want to know if 7600GS AGP videocard works fine with MSI KT6V-LSR mobo ?
Thanks ...
It's for an upgrade and to replace my : Leadtek WinFast A250 ULTRA TD (GeForce4 Ti 4600) - MyVivo
I think 7600GS nvidia series is better than my actual leadtek videocard and better than x1650 ati series ...
Am i wrong with that ?

...
Finally I have order a MSI NX7600GS-TD256 AGP, MSI product link :
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/vga/vga/pro_vga_detail.php?UID=754
I hope my pc config is going to work stable with ...
But why MSI says that system requirements need "AMD K8 (and above)..." whereas all
other 7600GS AGP builder work with min AMD K7 ! "... or compatible with AGP slot"
... i have AGP 8x with my KT6V-LSR ... so I don't understand why MSI mix CPU min
requirement info with "or" AGP slot requirement info in the same sentence ?
HOWEVER I found in MSI Global website (http://www.msi.com.tw/) this documentation
for NX7600GS TD series :
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/manual/mnu/spt_mnu_detail.php?UID=754&kind=2
... In this documentation we can read this system requirements :
To install the VGA card, your computer system needs to meet the following requirements:
Intel Pentium III (and above), AMD K7 (and above), or compatible with expansion slot
Minimum 128MB of system memory
Installation software requires CD-ROM drive
Interactive Program guide requires Internet connection for listing updates
Power supply of 400 (and up) watt is highly recommended for system stability.
My actual config :
Mobo KT6V-LSR (AGP 8X slot)
420W THERMALTAKE power supply
and ATHLON AMD K7 XP 2200+
... should work with NX7600GS ...
Let's see ...

Help with KT6V-LSR

Hi all
Just built my first PC. Feeling pretty pleased and all until i switched the power on. Not a peep from the motherboard. Maybe i have a duff board? Any suggestions or help would be most appreciated.
Quick rundown of system:-
KT6V-LSR SKT A
Seagate ST380013AS 80 GB
Kingston 256MB DDR PC2700
AMD Athlon XP2200 256 MHz FSB
Coolermaster CP5-6J31C Socket A
Asonic C-Media 7.1 Channel Soundcard

Hello,
Maybe you did not put the front case connector in the right place?
PWR_Switch.
What video card are you using and what power supply?
180W is no good
Have a look at the PSU sticker for the following,
eg
+12v =13a
+5v = 30a
+3.3v =22a
AMD Athlon XP2200 256 MHz FSB
AMD Athlon XP2200 266 MHz FSB

Help with mem speed issue in KT6V LSR BIOS

Hi all
In the BIOS of the MSI KT6V LSR board, does anyone know if it is possible to turn off the memory speed setting the puts memory to either Fast, Turbo or Ultra? I am uisng 1 DIMM of TwinMos 512mb, PC2700 DDR Ram and I can't run it at its correct timing of 333Mhz, because I think the above speed setting overclocks the memory and is causing instability in my installation of Win XP.
Cheers
SteveC

Thanks Fredrik & Sliksta.
Firstly Fred the cpu fsb is set to its correct timing of 166 (333 FSB Barton installed) and everyhting else in that screen is set to auto. It seems to be showing the correct CPU speed on boot up, so I can't see the problem there.
The thing is I have flashed the BIOS to the latest version and that memory setting for Fast, Turbo and Ultra is still there and can't be disabled. According to MSI it would be disabled in BIOS update V1.3, because it overclocks the memory and causes problems on some memory. When I run the memory timing at 333 I just seem get instability in Windows and thought it must be down to that timing issue. I have turned down the memory to 266 and things seem to be ok so far. Maybe I'll just stick to that. Strange one really. Could be the memory is a bit duff or I havent flashed BIOS properly. Shoud I reflash it do you think?

Kt6v-LSR 3200 Barton Problem

Looking for a little info, I've got a Kt6v-lsr mobo running XP 3200 Barton Core clock @ 200mhzx11. For some reason the board is showing it as a duron processor running @ approx 2209 MHz. L1 & L2 cache is 64 & 128 respectively which is all wrong for a 3200 Barton. FYI, my bios is 2.0 which I believe is the most current.
Either I have a messed up CPU or some setting wrong in the bios. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

to be sure, remove the cpu heatsink and note down the CPU code as explained in the How To Identify Your CPU link i posted earlier
as for the 3200+ 333FSB, you may have to take my word for it, as it was limited, AMD no longer have any info on their website
even some google searches don't bring much up now
going from memory, the company i used to work for, we used a lot of these MSI boards that i can't find on MSI's site any more. i know it didn't have a model name printed on the mobo, and even the manual just called it the MS-6729, but i have seen similar looking boards referred to as "K7N2-V" and "K7N2-IL".
now as far as i can remember, they were a green PCB, nforce2 chipset with integrated Geforce4 MX graphics, with just the basics: USB, FireWire, 3 DDR slots for Dual Channel. it supported a max CPU of 333mhz, but i do remember at a later point they started coming with a "Ultra400" sticker on southbridge chipset - or i might be getting confused with the K7N2 Delta boards we then started using
i remember we had to do a BIOS flash when we started using 3200+ on the MS-6729, otherwise the CPU was recognised as a 3100+. my memory is fading now (ok, it was 2 and a half years ago!!) but i'm sure the first 3200s we had were 333FSB, and then they became 400FSB, which was why we started using K7N2 Delta instead.
has this jogged anyone else's memory? did the MS-6729 green nforce2 mobo really exist, or is it all a cruel figment of my imagination? and was there ever really a 333FSB Barton 3200+??
maybe the heat is getting to me

HD Samsung SP2504C SATA II vs MSI KT6V-LSR: How to install?

Hi everybody,
Ok, i will try to explain the problem with my bad english, so please dont laugh!
I have two modeboards, the MSI KT6V-LSR and ASUS A8N-SLI SE, recently i acquired the HD Samsung SP2504C SATA II for the ASUS, and it works perfectly. So i needed to install this HD SATA II in the KT6V-LSR and i followed some proceedings first:
*The HD already had the XP SP2 installed using the ASUS one
1_i placed the jumper and the HD changed to 150
2_i pluged the data cable in the right conector and the power cable (i tryed in both channels, but only in one the hd is reconized)
3_removed the ide pata 40gb (samsung too)
4_Enabled ide sata in bios
5_configured to boot using hd sata
The system rebooted always just after the bios scrreenies. Strange, the HD PATA worked, came from the asus too! So i decided to format this HD sata. Like always i followed this steps:
* My XP cd dont have service packs and boot system
1_i used a floppy with WINME boot + smartdrive
2_delete partition, create and set active
*3_format c:
4_f:cd i386
5_f:i386\winnt
*Other strange thing, the formatting time just take a few seconds unlike the several minutes that normaly takes.
I started to install the XP anyway, and after the copy of files from cd to hd, during the first boot appears a blue screen, and the messages are relationed to the new HD, so the installation stop. I tryed several times but the same thing happened.
The HD sata is reconized in the windows, shows patitions, i transfered 13gb from it to the hd PATA, but i had to boot using the PATA one. I want to use this HD SATA like master, bootable, not like slave.
How to install it, how to format it properly?
I hope that my confusing explainations are sufficient to you understand the problem.
Some help please!
And thank you very much

HD 250GB SATA II (that dont works in this motherboard!)

This being really difficult to explain the problem with my so bad English. I go to try to use a translator online, ok?
I use the floppy of boot of the WIN ME, is through it that I obtain to define the partitions, to format hd, and to install the XP. I always made this and always it functioned, also with this HD SATA II samsung 250GB, but only using motherboard ASUS A8N-SLI IF. But when I go to make these procedures using the KT6V-LSR, I do not obtain to format hd right and I do not obtain to install the XP. Then the problem happens before installing the XP, during the formatting. So i want to use only de hd sata, not the HD PATA.
Another thing, I read in one fórum of my country that the KTV6-LSR can damage and even though to “kill” the hd sata. This is really?

KT6V-LSR boot problem

I encounter a strange problem(which I think is because of main board):
- Sometimes when I press the power on button(to power on the system),then the system don't really starts, only the HardDisk(red) LED is ON, the PowerOn(green) LED is OFF. The monitor remains black, with a LED blinking.
- While the system is in state described before, if i press the Reset Button, then: the PowerOn(green) LED turns ON too,the monitor receives signal(it's LED stops blinking, by remanining ON), and the system starts OK(everything is ok).
What can be the problem?

Hello,
Did you build this PC or did someone else build it?
Open the PC, remove the case side panel and check the JP1/case connectors.
Check if the power switch, reset switch, hdd LED are Power LED are plugged in the right place.
The best way to do this is to remove all the case connectors and start again, plug 1 at a time and see if it works better.
Start with the front case power switch first, plug it in and see if the PC starts when you press it.
Make sure the PC is off when you do this, (turn on when you are ready to test).

Kt6V-lsr vs kt6DELTA-lsr

I just had a tech support tell me that the kt6V-lsr was the better of these 2 boards..
Are they just trying to pull wool over my eyes because thats what they sent me?
2nd
they also sent me the AMD XP2600+ "thorton" chip
instead of the AMD XP 2500+ "Barton" chip
should I be pissed about this also?

Hm, for once I disagree a little with stevehp. 2600 has a Thoroughbred B core, while 2500 has of course a Barton core, bigger die etc. 2600 was introduced by AMD to sort of gain a little time before introducing the newer Barton. The part about the cache is correct.
Though a little dated information, I suggest you go see:
http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20020610/thoroughbred-04.html
Checking around a little, everywhere they prefer Barton.

KT6V-LSR onboard LAN Help???

I'm having major problems with the onboard LAN on my KT6V-LSR...
Everything was working fine, until I decided to overclocking a little, then problems with the onboard LAN started!!!
Basically when I connect the ethernet wire to the onbaord LAN windows still shows as no connection???
Windows XP recognizes the onboard LAN and I'm able to update drivers, but still no luck regardless of what drivers I use...
I've also tried clearing CMOS and installing a fresh copy of Windows XP and still no luck!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the VIA southbridge takes care of USB, LAN, and audio... So why is it that my onboard sound and USB works fine but the onboard lan refuese to work???
The green light for the onbaord LAN on the I/O is always lit, is this normal???
I've just bought a PCI network card and it works fine, but the onbard LAN still doesn't work???
I'm thinking it's a defected motherboard, but I do not want to go throught the trouble of RMAing it.
Any help is welcome...

Asus Geforce 4 Ti4200 8X (128MB)
Maxtor 60G ATA 133

I've tried taking out the PCI one then disabling the onboard and re-enabling it, but no luck... It just doesn't work. Now I'm starting to think it's a bios problem with system standby in S3??? Or perhaps hibernation???
Really, I think I've given up on the onbaord LAN. Everythings working fine with my PCI networkcard...
So again, thanks guys for contributing on trying to come up with a solution to my onbaord LAN problem...
Thanks.

KT6V-LSR 200 FSB overclock doesn't take?

I'm running the following hardware...
KT6V-LSR
2100+ 0248 T'bred B
512Mb Corsair PC3200 C2
Slapped everything together, booted up, loaded the defaults in BIOS, then immediately changed to 200x10 (which I knew my chip and memory would have no problems with) and restarted. Worked great, right out of the box!
So I wanted to find out how high I could take the FSB (to compare to my nForce2 board in my other system) and was able to get it up to 230 FSB after lowering memory timings to 2.5-3-3-6 and increase of vDIMM to 2.75
I thought this was pretty darn good considering a 233 FSB would need a 7:2:1 divider (which of course isn't available) to keep the AGP/PCI in spec. But when I ran CPUz from within Windows (also verified with the MSI Core Center) it shows my FSB stuck at 200?!?
It does display the correct multi that I have set in BIOS, but regardless of what I have set FSB to (from 200 up to 230 in 5Mhz increments) the BIOS saves the settings, POST displays the increased CPU speed, but Windows utilities show the truth... still running at 200 FSB.
I have the Dynamic overclocking disabled in BIOS since I wasn't familiar with that and would rather have manual control over my overclock anyway. As I said, I did have to reduce memory timings in order to get the board to POST once I got over 210 FSB, which leads me to believe it really is trying to run the thing at the FSB I've set. Otherwise, you'd think I could put it up to the max 280 or whatever if all it was going to do is stay at 200.
I'm using the latest BIOS release available. Anyone else encounter this strange event trying to use >200 FSB?

Have you ever checked your PCI and AGP frequencies at Sisoft sandra or another 3rd party software when fsb is set to 200 mhz.
There is a problem, this moron mainboard doesnt give standard PCI and AGP frequencies when CPU's fsb is set to 200mhz or higher.
Look in that program and you'll see that when fsb is 200mhz PCI is 41 mhz.This is a realy realy big handicap to make overclock.
This mainboard is not a good mainboard.Clear Cmos jumper's position is the worst ever that I've used lots of MOBOs.
there is no AGP/PCI divider at 200mhz or above.This moron mainboard uses AMI bios that doesnt support AMD CPU Mobile modding and using up to 24X multiplier.
-'s are
1.there is no PCI/AGP multiplier at 200 mhz
2.ClearCmos jumper's position is bad.
3.AMI Bios sucks.It must be Award Bios.
+'s are:
1.there are 3 fan sockets on mobo.
2.doesnt have any stability problems.
3.This mobo is only for standard users.
lock my spect ....sempron 2200+ @ mobile

KT6V-LSR LAN and USB problems

This is my second KT6V-LSR, the first was dead out of the box - no power what so ever.
I'm using an AMD Athalon XP 1600 and Windows 98 SE (wife's computer and I don't want the hassle of changing her over to XP). She just uses it for internet and email and to create patterns for her embroidery sewing machine.
When I installed the drivers from the CD, my USB would not work nor did the LAN.
Looking at the system devices I see the following problems:
For the Network Adapters - VIA RhineII Fast Ethernet adapter I get: The NDIS.VXD, NYKERN.VXD device loaders for this device could not load the device driver (Code2)
The VIA Tech 3038 PCI to USB universal host controller I'm getting: The NYKERN.VXD device loaders for this device could not load the device driver (Code2)
Where are these supposed to be located? I don't see them on the CD.
I'm also glad to read that this board has a boot-up problem. That is the main reason I got rid of the old ECS board. It would sometimes lose it's BIOS when it booted. At first I thought it was a cold problem, but then it would sometimes do it on a reboot. And yes I did put in a new battery. The problem was still there.

Hello.
Windows 98 is not recommended on the new boards as you may run into serveral problems with drivers.
USB 2.0 drivers VIA 4in1 drivers
Some drivers for you to try,
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=511&kind=1
Is that windows 98 you are using or windows 98se?
98 is a bad choice.
You should use windows XP.
Your other post about BIOS settings, post your questions there and people will try to answer them. Online forums have all the answers.

[VIA] MSI-7021 (KT6V-LSR) and Sempron 2500 problem.

I bought a AMD Sempron 2500 1.75ghz and a MSI-7021 KTV6-LSR, I connected the Sempron to the motherboard and powered up, well I got power to the fans, but no activity and no sounds. I plugged in the LED diagnostic kit that came with the motherboard and all 4 red lights are on, according to the manual this means either a fault with the CPU or it aint seated properly. So I reset the CPU and the same 4 red LED's came on again. I thought it could be a PSU supply problem, so I disconnected all the hard drives and the DVD-ROM drives and still the same problem occured. So I decided to test my old Athlon 1.2gig CPU in the motherboard and the same problem occured again, no activity and all 4 red LEDS on the diagnostic. I also disconnected the 2 DDR memory chips.
I dont have one of those 4 pin power connectors, do I need on of these.
I tested the new Sempron in my old PC motherboard, an ASUS A7V-E and it powered up without any problems, so obviously it cannot be the new Sempron CPU that is fauly.
Can someone point me in the right direction. I hope I have supplied enough information.

I would need the 4 pin even for a old Athlon Socket A CPU too. Why is this exactly, does the KTV6 use more watts than a normal older mobo.
You need the 4-pin because it is part of the mainboard's design power. That 4-pin connector exclusively supplies your processor. No 4-pin lead = no power to the processor.
And you are better off with the Antec than the Tagan. Tom's Hardware, based in Germany where Tagan is prevalent, has had nothing but failures from Tagan power supplies. Most recently THG chose a Tagan for their Intel and AMD Stress Test - the Tagan died. To be fair, the Tagan was a pre-production test unit, but the authors did make a point of saying this was not the first Tagan that has died in their lab.

I'm only giving the specs for certain items because I'm only trying to boot it with these installed.
KT6v-Lsr
AMD XP 2400+ T-bred
Thermaltake Volcano 6 cu+
Antec 430 Watt PSU (+5v=36a, +12v=20a, +3.3v=28a, -5v=.5a, -12v=1.0a,+5vsb=2a)
I've been having this problem since I bought this board and put it together earlier this week. I first tried to power the system with my old Antec 300 Watt psu. When I read the other posts on this board I went out and bought a 400 watt psu, same problem. I finally went out and bought a better Antec 430 watt psu, still same problem. Please help. This is what happens when I try to boot up (same problem, all psu's) the D-Bracket leds show Sys Power ON, then Early Chipset Initialization, then Memory Detection Test... and then the system powers down. I would think that with 20a on the 12v I would be set, so I'm starting to think the mobo is just bad, and might just return it. Would appreciate any help though.

In fact, feel grateful that the newer boards have the ability to detect the CPU temp rising too fast, and shut the system down to save that costly CPU's life
Without that little feature, you could fry a CPU in just a couple minutes

Upgrade to KT6V-LSR gone wrong, system freezes and BSOD's

Hi guys!
I just recently bought a KT6V-LSR to replace and Asrock K7S41GX motherboard. After putting all together (specs on signature) installed windows from scratch in a new partition on the master drive. Installed VIA 4 in 1, DirectX 9.0c, Catalyst 5.03, Realtek sound driver, LAN driver, USB patch, all of them were the latest versions available from the corresponding site, everything while the pc was not connected to the internet.. When I installed the Catalyst driver, rebooted the computer and it started testing the computer to find the "most stable settings" according to the installation said. The screen got all srambled but it seemed to bel going on, on the installation process it said that it'll take about 1 minute, waited about 5 an then restarted (it said that the test might cause the system not to respond anymore and that if it happened, restart it), it started all right. Then I installed NAV 2005. Installed acrobat reader. Then I tried to install Office 2003 and the system froze when it was about 15% of the copying files process. Restarted it and then the system crashed again the same way. If I leave the system running idle, it crashes randomly. It didn't show up with a BSOD at the beginning but now it shows
kernel_stack_inpage_error
0x00000077 (0xc000000E,0xc000000E,0xc00000000, 0x01b42000)
and another one
kernel_stack_inpage_error
0x0000007A (0xE14F862c,0xc000000E,0xcBF97B704, 0x02c23860)
(once each)
I'm thinking (from what I have read here) it might be the power supply, but since here in costa rica it's almost imposible to find a decent 400W PSU and I won't have the 100 bucks it costs for a couple of weeks more, is there anything I should try?
Temps on the system are 45-49 idle, 53-55 load. Applied thermal grease to the HS&F before installed it.
the 12+ (I've read is very important since the KT6V is very hungry on this rail) is showing up about 12 on the core center, but I've read that is not really representative...
Haven't updated to BIOS version 2.0 yet...
I checked the memory, ran only 1 stick and then the other one, on both slots.
I'm open to any advice, for sure I'll replace the PSU but that's gonna take a couple of weeks and I wanted to check if there's something I could try in the mean time.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hey , Ford Tech , can you give an explanation of what the setup with the CD drive and the master harddrive on IDE 1 will do .
I have the same PSU nazgoth has .
I'm just interested in the affect that setup will have with the power in the system .
If you have noticed my posts its more of a house electricity thing with my setup , the harddrive not getting enough power , temporarily I hope .
Not really a voltage concern.But I guess it could if both drives are running at the same time.With IDE, one is limited to two drives in a chain, and these drives cannot work at the same time. In essence, they must "take turns".So by putting 1 HDD as primary master and cd as slave,you will get the full performance of your drive.Most peeps only run CD roms for program installs and or CD burning or copying anways.
As far as the cable,yes there are 80 wire flat cables that work just fine.The only reason to go to the round cables is to improve air-flow and or the length of the cable itself.
I am sure many people use it the old fashion way with no problems.I just experienced a performance issue when I had HDD's on the same chain.It was mainly because I load all my games on my D drive.It also kept defaulting it to PIO mode which is the slowest mode.Since swaping the drives around on the chain(IDE1=HDD-Operating system-primary master and CD burner as Primary slave)(IDE2=HDD-Storage/gaming-secondary master and my DVD rom as secondary slave)Both drives run in UMDA-MODE-5 set up that way with no more problems

[AMD] XP2800+ or 3000+ with KT6V-LSR
