Fsb problem with kt6

Hello,
I just bought a kt6 with a xp2700+ and i cannot raise the fsb to 166. At default when it is set to 100, no problem at all. But if i go to 133 the pc starts up boot under windows and 10 minutes later shutdown. (or sooner if i use the cd rom)
I tried to swap memories, change latency, change the graphic gard, no improvements.
Do you think it could be the power supply or the mainboard ? (cpu idle at 50 °c = 123 F)
My power supply specs (400W noname)
3.3V - 18A
5V - 27A
12V - 16A
My system:
xp2700+
kt6
ibm hdd 80go
radeon 9800 pro
audigy 2 (not installed for testing)
floppy
dvd pionneer
Thank you for your replies.

Thank you for your reply. I checked everything and concluded it might be the processor or the mainboard. I managed to exchange the board with my retailer. I have now a brand new kt6 and everything seems to work perfectly.
But my 2700+ is at 61 °C idling, is it a normal temperature ?

Fsb problem with Neo4 Ultra

I have been having a problem with my neo4 ultra that seems to be pretty common.
I can not boot past a fsb of 219 reliably.
My system is
AMD64 3200+
MSI K8N Neo4 nForce4 Ultra
Wavemaster Case
OCZ Gold Series Dual 1GB DDR PC-3200
Thermalright XP-90
OCZ ModStream 520W
Sapphire Radeon X800 XL
I am doing it all with clockgen to up my FSB to find the best results. I am on 1.24 BIOS
My Basic BIOS settings are
FSB = 219
HTT = 4x
Mem at 166 Voltage at 2.85
Mem Timmings at 2.5-3-2-8 1T
CPU 10x startup - cpu-z reports voltage at 1.58
Rasied FSB by 5 at a time to 251 and super pi failed.
Changed vcore to 1.60 and the best I could get super pi to run at was 247. So I decided to start fine tunning my memory.
I set mem to 180 2.5-3-3-10-1T
Used clockgen again and what was interesting was FSB of 255 passed with a superpi of 34 sec. Now it failed at fsb258.
Changed mem timmings to 200 2.5-3-3-10-1T
And best I could get was fsb=230 and superpi failed. I decided to keet the 180 divider and see how far I can drop the timming at 180.
So I ended up at this
FSB =251
HTT 4x
Mem 180 2-3-2-8 1T volts = 2.85
CPU 10x Volts cpu-z reports 1.63
Runs prime stable all night at these settings.
But here is the thing if I go into the BIOS and change fsb to 221 My machine will not boot.
I am guessing the power up sequence is wrong in the BIOS

I cannot boot at over FSB 219, either. Will overclock fine with Clockgen when in XP (have tried up to 270 fsb, and the CPU will run 2574mhz at 1.5). But have to reset bios if I set the FSB over 219, regardless of memory HTT, vcore, etc , settings. I've been watching other forums and have seen MANY people with the same problem. One of the things I have in common with a lot of other people with this problem is that my Winnie 3500+ Retail will not run much over stock with the low vcore that this board gives as default. I have used Core Center, Sisoft Sandra 2005, and CPUz 1.27 to check vcore once in windows. All of them show 1.36 for vcore. That's lower than default of 1.4. And when I set the vcore for 1.55 and the overvoltage thingy to highest percentage in bios, all the monitoring apps show 1.526, which is waaay lower than it should be (1.67). Now, I will concede that the monitoring apps could be wrong. But, I believe the 219mhz POST issue is due to the start up vcore and multiplier is PROBABLY default at post. So, if your FSB is set for more than the CPU will run at it's default vcore and multiplie + set FSB, then the board freezies at POST. If the bios would just boot at whatever you set into the bios, then there wouldn't be a problem, unless yoiu have set thingswaay too high. Then it would just do what it does now, not POST, and you would have to reset the bios. There are a lot of Winchester core CPU's out there that will run high mhz at default voltages. But, there are a lot of newer Winnie's that won't. Mine is one of them.
Now it seems that there is a limitation on the board of 1.55 vcore with a Winnie. Even using the overvoltage setting. What is that all about? You put overclocking friendly on the retail box, on the product page on the main site, and all the review sites say overclocking potential is graet, and then you limit the vcore to 1.5v? Crazy logic (or should I say "Fuzzy Logic") I am close to eBaying this board (only had it 2 - 3 days, but won't send it back to ZZF for replacement as all of them could have the same problem) and go with the DFI or the Abit Fatality.
Am I saying all this right?

Problem with KT6 Delta-LSR

Hello
I bought MSI KT6 Delta-lsr today and haven't had it work yet.
Usually when I turn on the power only fans start to run and i get memory or processor error from d-bracket leds. Memory chips and processor should be ok since sometimes If I clear cmos and start pc, it seems to start fine and all leds are green but system will hang in winxp loading screen. Changing options in bios doesn't seem to do any good, usually boot after editing bios will cause again memory or processor error.
Any idea what is causing this problem?
Specs.
Amd TB 1ghz -> too old for this mobo?
256mb seitec ddr 333 (also tested Twinmos memory chips)
Msi kt6 delta-lsr
Msi gf4 ti 4200
harddrives, cd, cd-rw, the usual stuff...

Thank you for moving this topic to right forum.
I was wondering if those memory chips just doesn't work with my processor.
Could someone explain me this fsb and ddr speed stuff? Not sure if my tb runs
with fsb 100 or fsb 133. Or does those setting even matter for ddr rams?
Manual says that if I have cpu speed 100 and 333 ddr it's not supported but 133 and 333 should work. Still pc sometimes seem to start up but freezes soon. So to me it seems memory and proccessor works.

Problems with KT6 Delta-LSR AGP

Hello all!
Im having a problem here. I cannot install my Chipset drivers. I've tried to install the newest ones, and also from the CD i got when buying this. Both of them freezes to 100% and my PC crashes every and each time. After that i reboot and the blue screen of death is what i get. It is caused by "viaagp1.sys". It says something like unable to load "viaagp1.sys" drivers, or something...
I have installed everything all over again 7 times now, and im very frustrated . I have also tried with winxp pro and win2k. I have now win2k with SP4 installed, and still cant install the chipset drivers.
So the problem really is: AGP=OFF. If i change it to 8x it will request a reboot. Ok i reboot and go check again and its OFF. Im pretty sure that this is caused because of the missing chipset drivers...? And this leads to lack of performance.
Any of you have any ideas how could i fix this problem?
-Thank you-

you must have somethink like this in your PC case. that is PSU(or maybe im wrong ) open it and look it. he is asking about his specification. read sticker on it. Ampers is written there also. then paste here.

Problems with kt6 delta(glan)

Hello,
i ve installed win xp(latest drivers, SP1), all did well, but i ve got data corruption,which resulted after several power downs/ups in one of these blue screens of death
-page fault in nonpagable area
-unmountable boot volume
-kernel data inpage error
-corrupted ntfs.sys
-corrupted windows/system
so...
removed pci audio card, put another hdd, flashed bios to 5.2, new install...
but corruption still appears, i ve tryied amidiag, but ram, cpu and hdd seems ok
Is that symptoms of defective MB?
Its strange that corruption appears when i power down pc, restart is ok, and when running, there are no problems such as hang ups, reboots or so...
thanx in advance 3DA

ok thx Bas a lot, but had one question left, isnt problem that memt86 doesnt detect l2 cache, it posts unknown, I am asking, cause my reseller got 1 month!!!! to work out my RMA. So if its possible i have to know exact defective component, each should take 1 month to rma.......

OK now I know its not my Heatsink or anything else on my system I know it is this board. I removed Everything execpt 1 hard drive put a old 4 meg PCI video card in and REmounted my HS and CPU and it took me 5 reboots just to get the board to post, after that i set it to the proper 133 FSB and got a NTDRL error changed it back to 100 FSB and it frooze 3 times before finally working After this experence I will Diffently NEVER buy a MSI board this board has been nothing but a headache from the start I will stick by my old faithful ABIT from this day foward..... Anyone wanna buy a slightly used MSI KT4V ?? :D

Hi man,
I too have problem with the GTL settings in my MSI P45 Neo2.
I do not hav sufficient GTLREF Settings on the BIOS(Not high enough)
Do u have a BIOS that can fix that?
If so can you give me the link plz.
Lycan i use now bios from oroginal msi site. its 3.3 - and on this bios i have full stable fsb 500 in auto set of course.
Even more i can say you - copmuter lunch on fsb 550 and GTL still on auto - but its unstable.
If someone have suggestion how to set a GTL please help - i real feel power of fsb 533

Weird Problem with FSB setting

Hi all,
I've just come across a weird problem with FSB setting.
If I set FSB to 229 my machine runs @ 1.6Ghz only.
When I set to 230 it runs @ 3.2Ghz (as it should).
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks
Mick

If FSB @ =
Strange thing.. What a magical 1MHz

Genius needs to help! problems with my video card and system

Hey guys! I'm going to post my specs first so that you get a good idea of what I'm running on:
MSI Neo2 LS 865PE.....MAT=Slow
Pentium4 2.4C.....FSB=233=2.8C hyperthreading enabled ~>1.55V
Corsair TwinX 1gig PC3700.....memory on "AUTO" in BIOS with timings at 3,4,4,8 ~> 2.7V
Radeon 9700NP.....stock speeds ~>1.7V
AlienX case with 2 fan400 watt power supply and 6 case fans
Zalman Alum/Copper heatsink fan
1:I've had this motherboard for a few months now. I upgraded my video card from a nVidia Ti4200(128meg) to a Radeon 9800 a month ago, but I couldn't get it working at 8X AGP, no matter what voltages I threw at it. I returned it for a Radeon 9700NP hoping that it would work, but it still won't.
I'm using BIOS 1.9 and since there is no option to select your AGP speed, I could only try using ATI's drivers. Once booted into Windows, there is a slider you can move to select you AGP speed. On my machine It says that It has performed some tests and has concluded that AGP 4x is the best for my system....but my system supports AGP 8X!
I've moved the slider over to 8x (which requires a reboot) at least 5 times with each card but the slider refuses to move past 4xAGP after the reboot.
2: My second problem: I had an old stick of KingMax PC3200 and decided to buy 3 more sticks. Unfortunatly, the 3 I bought did not match the one I had, so I only put 2 of the new sticks I bought into my system. Immediatly, My system would crash, lock up, files were corrupt, and I got PLENTY of blue screens of death with a long message containing: 0x0000007 with all these other numbers and "0"s. I did a search online and found out I had a hardware incompatibility problem. I never got this with my old stick of ram.
I returned the 3 sticks of Ram and replaced them with the Corsair. Put my new Radeon 9700 in, formatted my hard drive....and within 24 hours, my system locked up 3 times, rebooted itself 5 times, and gave me the same BSOD as mentioned above with the same long message.
I didn't change anything except for the memory and the video card. I've been wanting to overclock, (thats why i bought the faster memory ) but I'm not sure what to do at this point.
I have my FSB at 233 but I'm scared to go any higher because of previous system instability at stock speeds. My RAM was running on 400 and MAT=Turbo with the most relaxed timings at 3,4,4,8.
I've given myself hours of sleepless nights formatting when my system wouldnt boot into windows; overclocking....etc. I NEED HELP. PLEASE. PLEASE. Anything could work at this point.
I'm trying to get more info on how to run my system at a 5:4 ratio, also.
If anyone has problems like me or knows what could be the problem with my system, please reply to this post, it would help me a lot. I've been trying to fix these problems for a few months now so anything is greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot to you guys that responded. I brought my computer home this past holiday and I want to let you know where I stand as of now. I guess this thread is like my blog for my computer. I want to clear some things before my first post makes everyone confused.
1- I have only 2 sticks of memory in my system: the Corsair PC3700 TwinX 512x2
I returned the 3 KingMax I bought, and still keep my old stick just in case.
2- I am using the 400 watt power supply that came with the case. I read some reviews of the case and I know the reviewer did not have problems with the power supply. In my BIOS, there are some voltages it is weak on. Lets say: it it should be 5.00+, my power supply will be feeding it 4.96v or something like that, but I dont know, or think, that is a major problem...
3- My computer will refuse to boot if memory speeds are set at anything below 400. SO....if I want to use a 5:4 ratio and have to set my memory speeds to "333" in BIOS, my system refuses to boot.
4- This morning, I did manage to overclock my FSB to 250. Specs are as follow:
Memory Timing @3,4,4,8,4.....speed set at "AUTO".....MAT at "SLOW"
MY 2.4C's FSB was raised to 250 = 3.0gig
AGP/PCI frequency: 67.xx/3x.xx (cant go any lower)
CPU voltage: 1.5500
Memory voltage: 2.75
Video Card voltage: 1.7
Everything was fine for the whole day until I heard something click in my computer around midnight, and then seconds later, my computer froze and made a continuous beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. (you can imagine)
This "click" and system crash has been plaguing me for months now. I dont know whay it happens. I was just using AIM when I heard the click and my heart stopped.
My memory speeds have been set to "AUTO" even at the FSB of 250. But I don't know if this still means my system is at a 1:1 ratio. I know the BIOS then adjusts the memory to work at 500 if my FSB is 250...so I assume it is? I love 3gig, but somehow I feel that 2.8 is faster, since the FSB=233 running parallel to my memory, also at 233
A FSB of 250 is good enough for me, that's what I've been waiting 6 months for. If anyone knows how to set other ratios to achieve a FSB of 250+, please let me know, but as I said, my memory won't boot if its set at "333"

Got a problem with K7N2G-L

the problem is the MB doesn't seem to be disabling the onboard video like it should when i attach an expansion card into the agp slot (using an MSI G4MX-TD8X). i've tried everything i can think of to get the dang thing to post... or at least show it posting. after i attach the card, w/out reseting the bios or anything, i can hear it post and start windows etc., but just no video. i returned the last vid card thinking it was a problem with it, but alas when i tried the new one same thing was happening ;( my stats on what is currently installed as far as hardware is at the bottom. but basically my question is this, am i supposed to disable the onboard video via jumper or something? or is it like i think and auto disables it upon connection of expansion card? possibly a bad MB (i really hope not as i did a dang good wiring job)? i emailed MSI support to no avail as of yet, course it's only been like 24 hours, but you'd think they'd have an 800 number or something to contact them. :( i did update the bios last night but haven't had a chance to try out installing the vid card yet. will post back if that ended up working.
okay, for the specs:
350 Watt Enermax
MSI K7N2G-L
AMD 2200+ XP
256 Kingtston 333 ram(have another 256 to install after i get things ironed out
MSI G4MX-TD8X (at least trying to install this, using onboard vid atm)
D-Link NIC
board is set to 133FSB, if it's in safe mode it doesn't post at all ?( hehe. of course it will post in higher, 166 is highest i've tried and it ran stable, but put back down to 133 for troubleshooting purposes with the vid card :(

i've thought about that, but with my drives attached and everything, i'm hovering around 200W total... did the math. but did forget to mention, so far using the onboard video (even with FSB overclocked to 166) haven't had any stability problems with the motherboard, which is why i haven't stripped it out yet to go get another one. i checked stability w/ 3dmark2k1 and about a 2 hour session of JKII running everything at full, even with quincunx enabled but got choppy a bit with that in parts. and btw, you'd assume correct with me moving the monitor adapter.

Problem with cd-rom on kt3 ultra2

hi, i'm having a very weird problem and have no clue what it could be
every time my cdrom has to copy multiple files to the harddisk, it generates errors on reading the files.
i have tried several different ide-cables (also 80-conductor cable), 2 different cdrom-drives who worked fine on another mobo, 3 different hard-drives, 4 different cd-rom's that i've all checked with Fix-It-Utilities and should be completely without errors.
after about 15 attempts with several os's i've managed to install windows xp but with several files missing, causing big instability, freezes on startup and stuff.
the problem with the cdrom is only when it has to copy a lot of data
if anyone has an idea, plz let me know coz i don't know what to try anymore ?(
many tnx in advance

heh, i'm far from sure
my ram: 256MB pc2700 ddr sdram from Twinmos
i used memtest, got it at http://ftp://ftp.ulyssis.org/pub/semi-os/memtest/
i put the memory in different slots, tried on 100mhz fsb and on 133mhz and each time it generated errors
i contacted the vendor to see if he'd know any other thing i could try but he just told me to send it over
that's all i can say i guess ...

Cd rom boot problems with MEGA 180

I recently recieved my MEGA 180 and have been unable to successfully install an OS because when I boot from CD, the computer freezes at various stages of installation. The point at which it freezes varies between the point at which the CD is initialized to anywhere in the windows xp setup process up untill the drive format. Occassionally the lockup coincides with an error copying a file, but this is not consistent. I have tried two different cd-rom drives as well as three different xp installation cds. Further I have run with 5 different sticks of ram (kingston and corsair). None of these changes have had any obvious effect.
Having read the warning labes regarding non MSI optical devices, I am tempted to think that may be the problem as I am not running on an MSI drive. However, the warning souned like it was about mechanical parts and thus I assume the ability of a drive to fit in the MEGA 180 case while opening and closing correctly.
I would appreciate any input you might have on this matter as I am finding this experience rather frustrating.

I had the exact same problem when upgrading from a 2100+ Palamino processor to a 2800+ Thoroghbred one. The screen had already dissappeared due to powering up with no monitor plugged in, so I tried a reinstall of Windows XP. It kept falling over randomly during the install process. I then swapper the CPU back and had no problems at all. I have since lapped the heatsink and reduced the FSB to 157MHz in the BIOS, and have not had a problem with the 2800+ CPU. I have not tried installing windows again, but feel this will be OK too.
My test is to run FujiFilm Snapshot Slideshow, which sends the CPU temp rocketting. I have found that when it goes above 70 C it starts getting unstable. I throttled the FSB back to 157MHz and it does not get to 70 C any more. In normal operation it never gets above 60 C, so I don't know why the slideshow takes so much CPU power

Problem with KT4 Ultra and XP 2700

First excuse my bad english (i'm from Germany)!!
I have a heavy problem with my KT4 Ultra.
First my system:
AMD Athlon XP 2700
Mainboard: MSI KT4 Ultra (MS-6590) Bios vers. 1.1
MSI Geforce 4 Ti 4200 64 Mb
512 Mb DDR Ram Apacer Technology 512 MB 16x(32mx8)DDR-SDRAM PC2700U-2533-700(CL2.5 upto 167MHz)(CL2 upto 133MHz
Sound : Onboard
GlobalWIN CAK38 II Kupfer
Powersupply: Levicom 420W
Win XP SP1
Now the problen:
When i turn the FSB in the Bios up to 166MHz
the system crashes on Windows startupscreen!!
I've turned the FSP clock down to 164 MHz and Windows starts.But when i runned 3DMark2001 it crashes back to desktop !!
Then i turned the FSB clock down to 159 MHz and the system runns stabile!!
Now what i've already tried:
Turned down Ram timings and frequency (same prob.)
No heatproblem (CPU at 118.f)
Had the same system exapt an XP1800 instead an XP2700 and no problems!!
Called the MSI hotline (Germany) and they told me to type the FSB manually in the Bios (insted of numblock +and -). ?(
Still the same problem !! ;(
Has anyone the same problem as i ???
THX !!

Hi,
I would try other ram....
Or start from BIOS default settings and only change CPU-FSB....
See what happens...

Problems with SB Live! 5.1 drivers for XP

So I recently changed the jumper settings on my soyo board to allow the FSB to run at 200Mhz therefore allowing my pentium to run at 3.0Ghz like it's supposed to. After that I had boot problems wich resulted in me having to reintall Win XP pro. Got all that running except the soundblaster li've 5. card. When I try to install the drivers from this site, I get an error (Flie Error CRC,0x358cb02d:0xf8f54274) when it trys the self extraction. My Sys info tool detects the card, but device manager is giving me driver errors and the machine acts like there is no audio whatsoever, which there isn't. Any Suggestions? Thanks

I have the same problem with the SB li've 5. surround card. My computer installs the SB li've game port but not the multimedia - audiocontroller.
It's a oem card can anyone help me what to do because no I don't have any sound at all .
Greetings Chrizzzzz
