K7N1-Delta-L fryed my cpu

Just installed new mobo, started fine AFTER i reset the j10 jumper to safe mode. (I'm running an AMD 1.3 100 FSB.) As I was checking out the BIOS settings, i noticed my cpu temp at 68C after only 5 minutes of use. I was putting the case side back on, as to create a better air flow inside, when i "smelled" something "burning"?? I looked over at the monitor which had nothing but hyrogliphics, & quick shut everything off. Now, it won't reboot.
I must mention this part to see if anyone else has experienced this w/installation---when installing the mobo, i REALLY had to push to align the holes w/the risers. Also, the CPU Thermaltake fan was a little larger that would comfortably fit, so i had to bend the two little "things" (capacitors? or something) just below the cpu. Then, i had to really push the fan to click & attach. It just seemed so very LOW on the board. Now, i didn't reapply any thermal grease, was I supposed to?
Is my CPU fried AND the mobo, or just the CPU?
Thanks.

hi
vallewis a good suggetion is to read these links.

i spent more than 10 hours of research before i decided to what i wanted to buy and how to put it together.
and i didnt have any trouble getting it up and running.
but i was lucky.
my generic memory and generic psu works flawless.

This is my first attempt at installing a cpu. Cpu thermal tape was scratchy looking so I got some thermal compound from a local computer store, unknown brand. The guy said it would work for the AMD 64 3200 I had. Tried several times to power up the system before I realized that the 12V PSU wasn"t hooked up. Fan was hooked up wrong and not on.
Got that fixed, now system will post but not boot into windws, even in safe mode.
Took cpu and heat sink out. The heat sink was not bonded to cpu. Put my hand on the heat sink several times while the system was on. It didn"t feel hot.
Cleaned up cpu and heat sink, applied thermal paste again yet same problem.
LED doesn"t indicate damaged cpu but it doesn"t show powerup either.
I dont have another Amd system to try it in .
well... there's a chance indeed that you fried it. you should NEVER hurry yourself thru the installation process, and check everything you do twice. there are some things you could've easily avoided by doublechecking your actions.. like the CPU fan connection, the 12V connector and the mounting of the CPU heatsink. but since you didn't connect that 4pin 12V connector there is a chance that the cpu didn't get enough power and just didn't start.... take it to a pc store (preferably the one where you bought it), do NOT say anything about the mistakes you made and let them test the cpu. They'll find out quick enough wether it's fried or not.

MSI KT6 Delta and xp2600(333) cpu clock

I am new to this so thanks in advance to everyone. This may not be a pure overclocking issue but it seemed like a good active forum.
Just put together a kt6 delta lsr and xp2600(thoroughbred B 333 fsb machine). The 2600 according to AMD(and everything else I have seen) should be clock speed of 166 x 12.5 as the multiplier...so up to 2.088 GHz. The BIOS on this board doesn't separate the 12.5 from the 13(I hope there are others out there that have had this) as it is 12.5/13.
Now when I install and do the BIOS stuff if I pick the 'auto' selection I get BSOD with some cryptic error code. If I manually pick the 12.5/13 multiplier it doesn't work either. I have managed to get 163,164, 165 'auto' or 12.5/13 at times but it is not stable. Sisandra didn't like it at all.
I am currently settling for 166 or 167 x12 as this has been extremely stable and functional(3-4 hour video compressions have worked great). If I go any higher to 168-170 I have had some issues and not totally stable(not as bad as the 12.5/13 mulitplier I used with 163,164 etc).
Now since the 'manual' multiplier is 12.5/13 together does this mean by choosing 'auto' it uses the same one, it seems like it so hence it may be trying to push the 13 at which point the RAM or something may be causing errors. ??? ( just some thoughts as I attempt to reason)
Almost all my components are new except for the harddrives but can't imagine that has anything to do with it all. So basically I have a good cpu but can't utilize it to the fullest and have to 'overclock' just to get to where it should be operating. I can't seem to approach that either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. If there are settings/setup that I forgot please just ask.
Thanks.

Thanks.
My temperatures seem fine. Low 40's. Even after 4-5 hours of video compression with the 167 x12 that I am using I only hit 43 or so.
I do wonder if anyone else out there as they same set up in terms of the same xp2600-333 chip and this motherboard. That choice of multipliers still seems odd. I think I may have mentioned it but does the 'auto' use just 'select' from the choice of multiples that we can pick manually? Unless it creates its own multiple that must be the problem. Can it oscillate between the 12.5 and 13 and hence just screw things up?
Thanks.

No BIOS screen on my K7N1-Delta-L

hello all,
i have read all your posts and please help me on something that might be new.....
i just put up my new machine with

1 gb mem (2x512) fsb333 mhz ddr
all was good, the machine boots up for installation with XP pro, SP2 installed no freezing or hanging problem...
but, one problem thou... when trying to get to BIOS setup screen the machine gives a black screen with a blue bar at the bottom and the cursor flashing....and stays there till you reset it..
any idea what and how to get around.??
bios version is 5.2
thanks. )

Hi TeNoRiO -
This is a common problem. The CPU fan on your system is emitting electrical noise.
First and foremost, DO NOT RUN YOUR SYSTEM WITHOUT THE CPU FAN CONNECTED!!! Your processor can be destroyed in a matter of seconds without proper cooling.
Plug your CPU fan into one of the molex connectors from your power supply, using an adaptor that can be obtained at most computer stores and plug only the RPM lead into the motherboard. Or plug another fan (such as a case fan) into the CPU fan socket on the motherboard and power the CPU fan directly from your power supply.
Good luck!
Jef

Maybe I fried the CPU

Hello,
I set a job to go on overnight. Processing video took the CPU load at 100%, at the morning I found a surprise. PC turned off and more sign of life.
Many doubts, but the most is : "why hardware didn't hardeare detect any possible overheating?"
For this desktop, I think they didn't assemble in a perpesctive to run full trottle, this one reason. Another puzzle, is thermal protection left to the kernel once is running, any BIOS protection doesn't do?
I'd like to understand this point in order to fall into same problem after the PC will be fixed.

I might bet on that was the problem. Bad financial time now, I'll have to wait some while to bring the PC to the shop.
Probably there should be a margin which consider that when the PC stops also the fan stops and then the heat would go to destruction point.

CPU voltage on Delta-ILSR

Is there anyway configurations, software, etc... to give my CPU more power? 1.8volts will not let me get any higher than 2300 with stability. If not lets all beg MSI to add higher Vcore in next bios :D

The latest BIOS' 7.3 and 7.4 for the K7N2-ILSR Delta has solved the CPU Voltage prob - I'd imagine that they fixed this prob with new BIOS versions on other K7N2 boards too.
Here's hopin'

KT880 Delta CPU problem?

Hallo,
i brought yesterday the KT880 Delta mainboard. My CPU is an AMD Thunderbird 1400 mhz, and my graficcard is a Radeon 9550. All components work, because i tested them on a other mainboard.
But when i put the power on, the radiators, the cd player become power, but i get no video signal and i don't hear the bios sounds. Where can be the problem?

Hallo,
thanks for your anwser.
I have a power supply form xilence power (350W).
Yes i connected the 4 pin connector with the mainboard.
- 230 / 115 Volt
- 4 x 5,25 Powerconnector (FDD/HDD)

D-Brackett Lights are 1-Red 2-Red 3-Green 4-Green (Processor Damaged or Not Installed Properly).
I installed the Processor onto a MSI KT4AV (Everything Else same specs) and it booted and ran the OS and several apps without a problem. I re-seated it on the K7N2 Board several times without getting past this error on the D-Bracket.
I have read several of the postings and have checked, and re-checked for possible shorts on the MB. I even removed the brass Mounting screws and replaced them with plastic.
I have also checked (and tried changing) the J10 and J11 Jumpers.
All Peripherals have been removed except for the RAM, Video and D-Brackett. And I still am not even POSTing. I have tried booting without a Video card installed as well (still same error message on the D-Bracket).
My Question:
Can you tell me anything else to try before I RMA this MB?
Thanks,
IBskweak

Bonz,
Thanks for the quick response.
I went and tracked down the following RAM this morning to try:
Mushkin 2x256MB PC3200 Level II Black Line
Corsair 1x512MB PC3200 CL2.5 -L FSB @444MHz 8-2-2-2.5 @ 2.7MHz
Crucial 2x256MB PC3200 HiPerf -ILSR w/IGP 1:1 DC 5-2-2-2
Even after trying each set I got the same results as before.
Still won't even POST. Same results as original message
Unless someone else has a good idea, I'm going to RMA the two MBs that I purchased.

Max size CPU for 6156bx ?

Hi all,
I'm still playing about with the "old trusty" ms6156bx MoBo. The P3 650 cpu was working fine untill we had a lightning strike fairly close to home - fried the CPU. So had to resort back to the P2 400 ;( (MoBo & all else still working fine)
Question is, Does anyone know what the max size CPU this board can take ? I have the chance of getting hold of a P3 1 ghz 100 fsb cpu ,But not sure if Mobo could take it. Maybe an 800 would be better (if I can find one)
Any advice ???

Hi, to get a Tualatin to work on that mobo you need a FCPGA2 to Slot 1 converter, it is not very usual, perhaps you don´t have this slocket, one that it´s known is the Powerleap PL-IP3 or something like that, it supports Tualatin processors. Check if your converter supports Tualatin processors first, so you don´t burn a processor again!!!

Weird "Artifacts" when benching overclocked CPU

Edit: problem solved, nevermind. (how do i delete threads completely?)

if someone could tell me how i can take a screenshot in Aquamark3 i could show you a picture of it. but it must be the CPU that is "faulty", because in 3dmark03 i get these artifacts only in the two CPU tests.
unfortunately games have these artifacts now too. they look like long thin lines, more like lightning bolts all over the screen. i though it could be something wrong with my cooler, but the heatsink is still attached as its supposed to be and the fan is spinning.
but whats really weird about it is, that the CPU temperatures arent anything but normal! they never cross 60°C under full load, and thats well within in the Intel safety specs.
another thing is, that i ran Prime95 for 40 minutes and i didnt get a single error. the memory is working too, it passes all tests in memtest and WMD.
so do i have a broken CPU now that doesnt work in games and 3D apps only but handles all 2D stuff well? or is it completely fubard but Prime95 just cant detect it? i know, this must sound pretty "noobish", but i have never came across such a weird problem!
any ideas?
striefenkarl, do you remember joshpsu?
he had a nearly identical system to yours, only a 3C... and kingston pc4000 and spent months trying to figure it out... the only thing we could come up with is motherboard....
he took his 9800pro back and got another... same thing... he bought different ram because of it.... he bought a new power supply... when he built a 3C system based on asus P4P800 for a friend.. he tried his 3C, and it did the same exact thing... and he put his stuff in the asus board and it stopped...
so he couldn't play games when oced.... so really... whats the point of ocing convert movies faster and fold faster i guess?
he would get green lines by the way i think... are you getting green lines?

Kt6 delta (6590v2) FSB at 100mhz

Hello.
Having problems with ms 6590v2 = kt6 delta (kt600 chipset).
CPU is Athlon XP 2800+.
Two sticks of DDR400 512MB memory.
Radeon 9800Pro video card.
Maxtor 40GB harddrive.
LG 52x Cdrom.
400Watt PSU (Information on psu: 3.3V at 20A, 5v at 22A,12v at 12, 130Watt unified)
Bios is 5.7, latest from msi website.
Problem is:
The board starts ok using fsb=100. Thus, cpu runs at 1250Mhz (should run at around 2000Mhz).
Even then, when starting a windows xp setup cd, the computer powers down after a while
(when the windows cd finishes loading drivers and should ask for user input).
Leaving that problem aside, when trying to change FSB to 166, the computer shuts down and
cannot be started except after resetting the bios with a jumper.
It is written on the board that the SW jumper should be set to 1-2 for automatic fsb,
but there's no jumper it seems, only a 3-pin pad that looks like a square separated
from two circles. (it looks same as in the picture in the quick manual). "[]| O O"
Is there a need/way to short the SW1 pins 1-2 ? Will it risk the motherboard ?
What can be the source of the problem ?
Thank you for support.

400Watt PSU (Information on psu: 3.3V at 20A, 5v at 22A,12v at 12, 130Watt unified)
I am surprised it will even start with that PSU.
This board needs 25-30A on 3.3V & 5V, and closer to 18A on the 12V.
3.3V & 5V combined max should also be 220W on any decent PSU.
A much better PSU is needed. Once that has been added, the system should be able to boot at 166FSB.

K7T Pro2-A CPU compatibility...?

Hello ppl,
I have this mobo(http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=99&MODEL=MS-6330%20Ver1.0C)
Here are the "official"(sic) cpu compatibility charts(http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/cpu_support/cpu/spt_cpu_detail.php?UID=99)
I'd like to make some questions...
Which is the highest clock processor I can put?
I think AMD Athlon (Thunderbird core) 1400 MHz is, but the
highest manual multiplier I have seen in the BIOS (3.6v
latest) is only 13.5x (although the automatic "MAY" work at 14x, not tested)
Is it possible to put an AMD Athlon 1800+ (Palomino core, 0.18um like the thunderbird)
provided that I manually set the FSB at 100 MHz?
I suppose that because of the 0.18 manufacturing process,
palomino 1800+ should have (at least) electrical compatibility with the mobo...
I should also mention that it is possible to set the CPU
voltage as low as 1.3V
Taking into account this fact, is it possible to put an
0.13um Athlon (Thoroughbred (256KB L2 Cache), Barton (512KB L2 Cache))?
Does anyone know anything about these cores' electrical compatibility with this mobo?
Has anyone tested any of the above?
Is there any chance/risk of frying the cpu and/or mobo?
My old Duron 750 MHz died :(, and I wanna put something as
fast as it gets (assume that I DON'T want to change the mobo)
Considering the above, I have four choices of cpu upgrade (with descending order).
   1) put an Athlon XP 0.13um Barton 2500+ (best choice)
   2) put an Athlon XP 0.13um Thoroughbred 2000+ (less better choice)
   3) put an Athlon XP 0.18um Palomino 1800+ (mediocre choice)
   4) put an Athlon 0.18um Thundebird 1400 MHz (worst choice, also see ps2)
Which of the above four choices are working?
Thx in advance!
ps1: I don't care if the FSB is gonna stuck at 100 MHz.
ps2: Here in Greece, you can hardly find anything less than 2 GHz, or 2000+.

No 0.13u CPU can run in this board
Only CPUs with 200Mhz FSB can run
The CPU can set the miltiplier, the fact there is no x14 multiplier would only be a problem if you try and setit manually rather than default.

Computer starts for half-second then stops, starts with no 8 PIN CPU, what's wro

The build from hell continues.
I got a new heatsink tonight on my Core i7 build, threw it on, and proceeded to start. It started, but no video. Being as I had most of the parts out on a cardboard box, I moved the motherboard slightly over, and it shut off. I pressed the power buttons, and the LED's flashed, and turned off half a second later.
I pulled everything off of it, and had bare board, heatsink, and CPU. Nothing except the half second flash.
Tore everything off, CPU out, and inserted the 24 pin. Yes, it stayed on.
Put everything back. Stayed on.
Plugged the 8 pin CPU connector in, no. Flash and die.
Looked over the pins and thought nothing was wrong. One had a bit of AS5 on the tip but carefully cleaned it off.
So the only things I can think of are:
I killed my PSU
I killed my mobo
I fried the CPU
Does anyone have any suggestions? I've blown more money on this build than I wanted and I'm stuck with a brick now. I'm so frusterated right now it's beyond belief. I have never had a build go this wrong ever in 15 years.

annyways, as soon as i disconnect the 8 pin/4 pin i can boot but no video, and Post says FF
if any1 got some tips im happy to try them out. (except throwing it out the window)

[POST problem] kt6 delta sr + athlon 2800+

configuration:
-athlon 2800+
-kt6 delta sr and 2 x 512mega ddr 400mhz banks
-ati radeon 9700 pro (AIW shappire)
-PSU 400w (and the amperage meet the requirements)
what i did already:
-The system doesn't post even if i clear the cmos.
-The 12v cpu connector is inserted.
-Trying everykind of permutation memory banks, memory slots, with 1 or 2 memory banks.
-changing my mobo with another kt6 delta sr
-changing my cpu with another athlon2800+
-changing my new ati radeon with my old video card (gforce2mx)
-powering on while hd/floppy/cd has connected/disconnected (every kind of permutation you can imagine)
- powering on while singing "row hide"
The best results i got:
-I was able to start the computer and just enter in the bios settings 4 times in 100 efforts.
-In the bios i was able to check the cpu temperature wich is stable on 39-42 degree after 40 minuts.
-In the bios i configured the value as suggested in this forum
-Anyway i put fsb to 166 and i tried to set cpu ratio both to auto or to 12.5/13
Question:
anybody know if this mainboard has any jumper that force cpu ratio or fsb frequency or any other stuff? The manual doens't mention any of that kind of jumpers... but... i don't know whatever more i can consider to solve this mistery.
Anybody can help me?

I guess the case connectors is placed correctly?
Could your PSU be erraneous?
When possible, enter BIOS and select default parameters, I'd suggest. If you can get your configuration working just a little it is often easier to trouble shoot.
Thank you for replying.
I think the cpu is seated correctly... i really don't know how to seat it uncorrectly
It wouldn't fit the cpu slot.
I don't know if it is a boxed AMD (how to check it) anyway i'm not using thermal past but just the heat pad.
The PSU is erraneous? Do you mean a faulty PSU or a miss placed power cable?
Anyway the PSU ha 5 days of life as i bought it for the new computer... i and asked "a psu that can manage an athlon 2800+ 2HD, 2CD and an ATI RADEON".
Looking at the paper on the PSU BOX, it should meet the amperage requirement for my situation.
I tried the bios default settings already: it doens't work
I also tried to manually configure the right setting: it doesn't work.

Corrected FSB, now K7N2 won't POST - Need help!!

AMD XP 2600+ TBred B Core
1024 (2x512) MB PC3200 DDR SDRAM (Corsair XMS Series)
1 is C2 latency, 1 is normal PC3200. I had them both in channel A, right now I'm just running my brand new normal 3200 stick.
MSI GeForce6600GT (NX6600GT-VTD128SP)
MSI K7N2 Delta2 Platinum (MS-6570E)
Enermax 365P-VE PSU (350W, 3.3V & 5V rails have 32A each, 12V rail has 26A)
The system ran fine at the default settings, I installed Windows XP with no problems. No hardware difficulties, no overheating of any component, no lack of voltage. Everything was peachy keen, except that my XP 2600+ was being misdetected as an 2000+ because the FSB was being set at 133. So, I went into the BIOS and used the settings I know are correct for my processor, meaning the FSB was bumped to 166. Saved the settings to the CMOS and exited. Now, when my PC starts up, I am greeted with a black screen. No POST beep, no video, no nothing. CD-ROM spins up, hard drive spins up, all fans spin up, all lights light up, but...Nothing! First move -- Reset CMOS w/ jumper. Nothing! Next move -- Hard CMOS reset (1hr). Nothing. Next-move -- Barebones boot. More nothing. I even tried swapping out the video card just to be on the safe side. (it did nothing, of course) If I didn't know better, I'd swear it was a DOA board, except it was working fine for around 18 hours, and I heard the POST beep every time it started up, and the DRAM error 'continuous long beeps' when I first set it up & had the 3200C2 stick in the Channel B slot (which I can still hear if I try booting with the RAM removed). I found the "Insert" key trick, but it looks like my keyboard isn't even getting power. I've been completely unsuccesful in trying to undo my move to the 166FSB, and it seems this total failure to POST w/ this motherboard isn't a unique problem. Any help at all is GREATLY appreciated, as well as any explanation as to what in the HELL happened. This has left me utterly flummoxed. To reiterate -- my computer is in barebone state right now. (Motherboard, gfx card, processor, RAM, all power and case connected to mobo and gfx card, nothing else) Thanks. -David

... I have just experienced the very same problem as HorizonX! I'm using a AMD Athalon 2600+ processor in an MSI K7N2 Delta 2 - LSR mainboard with 2x512MB PC3200 DDR RAM chips and I decided (don't ask me why) to switch my front side bus frequency from 166Mhz to 200Mhz. Immediately after making the change my system, which had been working fine for about a month prior to this, failed to post - no beeps only the whirr and click of the hard drives starting up.
I attempted to clear the CMOS by moving the clear CMOS jumper to the "clear" position for a minute or two with no results. I then removed the battery and again set the clear CMOS jumper to "clear", this time for about five minutes, but once I returned the battery and the jumper to its original position the system still failed to post. I figured I must have fried my CPU and was ready to start shopping for a new one. Luckily I came across this discussion forum. After reading the previous comments about how long mainboard capacitors can hold charge I decided to try clearing the CMOS again using some of the forum suggestions. I unplugged my system, removed the battery, and moved the CMOS jumper to the clear position. I then toggled the power supply on and off a few times along with the front power button and then left the system to sit for a half an hour. After the half hour I toggled the power switches a couple of more times before I reconnected the power, reinstalled the battery, and restored the CMOS jumper to its original position. This time IT WORKED!! My CMOS was cleared and my system posted with default settings. Incidentally I did look for the FSB safe mode jumper on my mainboard but it doesn't appear to have one.
Unfortunately this my not be much help to HorizonX but I just wanted to let the other contributors know their advice helped solve my problem.

K7N1-Delta-L fryed my cpu
