CPU capacity of K7T266 PRO-R(MS-6380)

I have a motherboard as specified in the header. Now, I am not very good at computers, so I have been unable to find out what is the most powerful CPU this motherboard is able to handle. It says in my user's manual that 1400MHz is max, but someone told me that it can take more. Is there a difference between the k7t266 pro and pro-r? Can anyone please help me? I would be really grateful.
Also, my bios version is AMI v. 1.9 if this is important.
Thanks!

Hi,
This should say it all: link  :D

  • K7T266 Pro-R(MS-6380) & AthlonXP 2100+

    I have a K7T266 Pro-R(MS-6380) with the 1.9 Bios. Currently i'm using a 1,4GHz Athlon Thunderbird. I have been thinking of upgradning my cpu. According to the cpu test the AthlonXP 2100+ doesn't work with my motherboard. Why is this? The AthlonXP 2000+ works just fine and they are the exact same .18 build series. The AthlonXP 2100+ is a few mhz faster. Is there no way to get the AthlonXP 2100+ running? They are both of the Palomino (0.18u) series....

    Add Palomino CPU support for 1.5Ghz~1.7Ghz
    That is taken from the list of things updated in bios v. 1.5 for my motherboard. The latest bios released is v. 1.9 and since a XP 2100+ = 1,73GHz, why doesn't it work with my motherboard?

  • Max cpu compatibility with k7t266 pro

    Hello,
    I'm new at this forum and it looks like a great place to get assistance on MSI boards.  Just got an older board from a garage sale.  I believe it's a 6380-010 or k7t266 pro.  Would be a great help if someone can tell me the highest rated cpu that is compatible with this board and what type memory it uses.
    Highly appreciate any help.
    thanks to all.....d;)

  • CoolerMaster CP5-7JD1B and K7T266 PRO

    Hi,
    The other day I installed a AMD XP2000+ with my K7T266 PRO mainbord (MS-6380). Together with the new cpu I installed a new heatsink/fan; the CoolerMaster CP5-7JD1B. Works perfect but... when starting the computer I'm getting a bios message that the fan isn't detected working and I can choose between shut down or not. But the fan is working.... Anyone any idea why this is happening ?
    By the way: PCAlert and Fuzzylogic show the fan working properly and the message isn't displayed when I restart (ctrl-alt-del) the computer.

    i should ingnore that.
    its safe trust me  
    the BIOS of your mobo detect a cpu fan that runs minimum of 3000rpm.
    your cpu fan is running below the 3000rpm.
    thats why.
    i should go into BIOS and disable the cpu fan detection at the 'hardware monitor' menu (where you see the temps).
    i have that too.

  • MSI K7T266 Pro restart hangup

    I am setting up a computer for my sister here are the specs:
    1-1.3Ghz Duron CPU
    1- MSI K7T266 pro
    1- Maxtor 15gb drive
    1-40x cd Rom
    1-Soundblaster live
    1-Savage4 pro AGP 4x
    1-350watt Pwr supply
    WinXP pro
    Problem: works fine and boots from a complete power down but the restart feature locks up the computer and hangs without a feed to the monitor which goes to standby w/no signal. I check the specs on the ram I got and they check out on the recomended parts list. I am stumped? Any clue?? Prompt responses are greatly appreciated, I have to get this comp out of my life!!!
    thanks!
    -w  

    same here, comparable setup. The SBLive is notorious because of problems with the bus, but I don't think that is it. I had to flash back to version 3.3 of the bios before I could do a normal restart. All later bioses have this problem for me!

  • Help! Can't overclock via CPU Ratio (multiplier) with K7T266 Pro (MS-6380)?

    I have a Athlon 1.2 GHz (266 MHz FSB) that I'm trying to overclock via the clock multiplier on my K7T266 Pro (MS-6380) mobo.
    Right now the CPU ratio is set to Auto in the Hardware Monitor in the BIOS, but I know that it's using a clock multiplier of 9 (9 x 133 Mhz = 1197 Mhz, which is about 1.2 Ghz)
    The only way that I can overclock this CPU is by increasing the FSB above 133 MHz.  That works, but I'd like to avoid that as the USB no longer works when the FSB is past 138 MHz (i.e. I can't OC higher than 1242 MHz through the FSB)
    If I set the clock multiplier above 9 (ex: 9.5, 10, etc.) nothing happens.  I reboot and my CPU is still at 1.2 GHz.  Its as if I can't OC by increasing the CPU ratio.  I'd like to set it to 10 and run at 1.33 GHz but I can't.  Why is that?
    If I lower my CPU ratio below 9, then the computer freezes up totally at bootup and I have to clear the CMOS to get it working again.
    THANKS!

    Hi,
    You need to unloack the CPU, search google for closing L1 Bridges, then you can set it to anything you want

  • CPU Temps K7T266 Pro

    Hi All
    Just a few quick questions.
    My computer shuts down for no apparent reason after using it for maybe 30mins but then other times it might not shut down at all.
    I thought it may of been the power supply at first so went from a 200W to a 300W but still does the same thing every now and again.
    My CPU temp is running around 49oC idle and SysTemp around 39oC under load its around 55-58oC using PCAlert4.(are these to high) it isnt OC'd
    Also when it turns itself off i leave it for a few minutes and try and turn it back on and it just wont respond as if there is no power going to it at all.
    Here is my computer in a nutshell:
    K7T266 Pro
    Athlon 1.2 gig
    Nvidia Geforce2 MX 400
    256 Ram
    Windows XP Pro
    Any help would be appreciated

  • MSI 6380 K7T266 Pro Boot problem

    My computer will not boot. The D-LED on the motherboard (MSI 6380) shows one of the LED in red when booting. Since I do not know is that's LED 1 or 4, the following is the reference from the D-LED in the manual:
    1. Testing RTC (Real Time Clock)
    2. Boot Attempt - This will set low stack and boot via INT 19h.
    Can someone help me?  What seems to the problem and how to resolve it?
    I am using the following:
    MSI 6380 (K7t266 pro), BIOS ver 1.9, PC2100 DDR (256mb), 64mb 4x AGP, 80gig HD, NIC, CDR, and 56K Modem.

    put power on and off agian, acpi enabled !! in bios, do not use pci slot 1 and 5, if there is Creative and a modem on that place

  • MSI K7T266 Pro(MS-6380) AND Gf4 ti4600

    Just recieved a Albatron gf4 ti4600 card. The computer won't boot. The card booted perfectly on a friends expo kt266a motherboard. But the card won't boot on any of my two pc's. We have tried his Enermax psu, we have tried everything. Are there any possible solution? Is there any other who has had problems with MSI K7T266 Pro(MS-6380) and gf4 ti4600 cards? we tried his Point Of View gf4 ti4200 XP card on mine and it worked.

    I' have the same problem with a GeForce4 MX440 !
    My computer send 8 beeps and...nothing. When I retry 3 ou 4 reset, it boot and all is OK with Windows XP.
    It seems there is a voltage problem with AGP slot. I post 2 mails to MSI France but they don't answer at this time...

    Regards

    Had the same trouble with my old card.  The thing wont work on new motherboards with the latest nvidia drivers because the AGP port speed is too fast for the card.  You can fix it by disabling the vertical sync but that just makes the system unstable.  Roll back to the 46 driver, I think that's the one dated october 2003.  That driver seems to work good with those cards or use the original driver it came with.  If you still can't get it to work it might be a good idea to look at updating to a video card that can handle 8x AGP.  

  • K7T266 Pro (MS-6380) v1.0 with IBM 180GXP/180 GB drive

    Hi,
    I'm thinking about buying one of the new IBM Deskstar 180GXP hard disks and I'd like to go for the 180GB version.
    Question is, wether my board K7T266 Pro (MS-6380) v1.0 with latest bios v1.9 will support the large drive 100%.
    I read in the changelog for the bios about the support for the Maxtor 160 GB drive but is somebody actually using a disk larger than 128 GB, that might require 48 bit adressing with the MS-6380 (it's the old version 1.0 I'm talking about) and has more than 137 GB on data on it without noticeable problems? I couldn't find any info about this in the forums or on the net.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    G. Freeman

    Hello Assaf,
    Thank you for your note.
    Just for the archives: I bought the 180GB IBM-disk and it's working without any problems. The 1.9 BIOS is fine and Windows recognizes the drive as well. Only thing I had to do was to update the VIA 4-in-1 drivers and enable Big LBA support in Windows 2000, as described in Microsoft Knowledge Base article #305098. After a reboot Windows recognized the complete disk (before only ~128 GB).
    After some hours of testing (bit by bit writing and reading on the whole disk and some 'WinBenching') I installed Windows 2000 and it's running very well so far.
    Anyway, others might be better off with an IDE controller for Windows 98/ME or NT4.

  • K7t266 Pro Ms-6380 + Western Digital 160gb

    Hi there.
    I have a MSI K7T266 PRO V1.0 motherboard with the 1.9 BIOS version.
    I wanna buy an Western Digital 160 GB hard drive. Did anyone know if the motherboard can detect it succesfully (because of the 137 GB barrier).
    Has anyone been successful in this operation? ... The BIOS version said the 137 GB barrier is broken.
    BUT ... I REELY, REELY, REELY NEED TO KNOW IF IT'S TRUE AND IT'S ACTUALLY WORKS FINE....
    Thanks to everyone.

    if it supports one 160 gb drive it will support any size drive by any maker

  • K7T266 Pro (MS-6380) safe BIOS-upgrading?

    I'm still using BIOS v.1.0A for my K7T266 Pro...  I guess...
    So what's the safest way to upgrade to V1.9?
    I'm unsure about flashing... and cant afford any comupter-failure for the moment (thou I want a bigger harddisk)!
    Any suggestions?    /Stefan

    Best way is to follow the instructions to flash using 2 floppy disks. One will have the windows98 startup files the second will have the flash program and the update itself. Just make sure you copy the flash util and the update over to the temporary drive it makes. Also if you have a UPS (universal power supply: battery backup) it would be benifical to hook it up just in case the power goes out.
    Just make sure you read the stickies in the bios section of the forum and if you have any other questions feel free to ask. It is always a risk to flash your bios, but it is also a risk everytime you get into a car. You just want to be well informed, before you attempt this, just like you "should" be with driving a car.
    Good Luck

  • G4MX440-T on K7T266 Pro

    This is a strange one.
    This VGA card works on an ASUS P4B533 and on an MS-6309.  BUT...
    fails to post on a K7T266 Pro Ver 1.0
    and fails to post on a K7T266 Pro2 RU
    A GF2MX400 works fine on both the 266's
    I think I am getting mad......
    the Two Failing systems were striped down to:
    xp1800 CPU
    512Mb DDR One stick
    the offending card. GF4MX440-T
    a 300w supply (same supply was used with the p4)
    latest BIOS on all units.
    Drivers irrelevent as no post....
    any ideas...

    GeForce4 TI works.. the Geforce4 MX is a lemon anyways, get a GeForce3 or a Radeon 8500 instead..
     I have to disagree, I had the oportunity to test the 8500 head to head against the GF4MX440 on both a
    P4 1.6 and an XP1800+
    the P4 was an 845 chipset and VIA266A for the AMD
    the GF4MX left the ATI in the dust in both cases and at less $$$$ My suppliers show the lowest config of an 8500 to be about $175.00c and the GF4MX440 to be $125.00c there is only one GF3 still availible and its way outa reach 500+ some capture etc etc setup.
    The 8500 has 128mb the GF4 64 and the ATI has a few more features in bump maping etc. but the GF4 beat its ass anyhow.
    3dm scores:
    P4 ATI8500=8752
    P4 GF4MX440=9127
    AMD ATI8500=9213
    AMD GF4MX=10091
    Systems both had 512-pc266-cas2
