K7T Turbo2, AMD 2600 - wont recognize cpu correctly.

Hello everyone. Thanks in advance for any help.
I have the K7T Turbo2 W6330VMS with the latest bios, v3.6. I upgraded from an AMD Athlon +1700 (266 fsb) to a Athlon +2600 (266 fsb). I verified I had flashed the bios before installing the new CPU. I have since cleared the Bios and re-flashed it. Version 3.6 bios was the version that allows the Turbo2 to use +2400 and +2600 cpus.
Here is my problem: The system shows the CPU as a +2000 on bootup. It is running at 1660mhz, not 2133mhz. My bus is running at 133 mhz.
I have removed the CPU and verified the correct CPU was installed.
AMD Athlon, AXDA2600DKV3C.
I have tried manually changing the multiplier and bus speed, but only drop the cpu speed doing this.
What do I need to do inorder to get this board to recognize the CPU correctly?
Thank you.

AXDA2600DKV3C 2600+ 2133MHz 16x 133fsb is the cpu you need
notice the 16x multilpier
your cpu is using a 12.5 multilplier
AXDA2600DKV3D 2600+ 2083MHz 12.5x 166 fsb
is what you have despite what any thing says
the 266 version of the xp 2600 is as rare as rocking horse doings

MSI K7T Turbo2 + AMD Athlon XP 2600+

I have downloaded lastest BIOS for MSI K7T Turbo2 but i haven't able to run CPU at full speed (133x16=2128 MHz). And there's no multipler greater than 15 available...
currenlty i'm using 145xdefault (12,5) = 1812,5 MHz... has anyone solved this problem? CPU = AMD Athlon XP 2600+ (333)

Oh bugger!
After posting this, I continued scanning and found the answer - and coming back here, I now understand BD51's answer. Didn't sink in first time round!
Anyway, I have apparently purchased the 333fsb version, blissfully unaware that was a 266 version, and that THAT is the one I SHOULD have bought.
Ah well, that'll learn me to check the spec's more closely in future.
Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

K7t turbo2/amd XP 1800! ack! help!

i recently bought a k7t turbo2 (ms-6330) to go with my amd xp 1800, im running 2x 512 and 1x 256 ram under winblows ME. and ever since day 1, i have random lockups when i try to move or copy files in windows, but if i use dos-prompt i can transfer files just fine... also when i try to shutdown or reboot i get error from windows. i have tried underclocking the cpu, swapping out the ram... i have installed all the most current drivers for everything and i am clueless what else to try... i got a 300w amd certified psu, 20gig maxtor along with a 20gig seagate for drives. i have disabled the onboard sound as well as the printer/serial ports... i run bare bones windows setup with no junk in the backround... have 3 case fans and amd certified cpu fan so i have eliminated temp problems, it happens whether the machine is warm or cold... i even tried upgrading the bios to 3.5 to no prevail... i have no issues running any of my games from halflife to quake to diablo to everquest... other than these 2 isuues, my systems just blazes with no issues...
any ideas?

Yank out some of that ram, like the 512k stick and then try it out . ME doesn't need all that to function. BIGDADDY51CT.USA

K7t turbo2 post beep codes

hi:
i bought a k7t turbo2 mobo and 1800 athlon cpu (brand new), swapped a stick of used 512mb pc133 working memory from another pc and got the machine up into bios. i stopped work for the evening came back the next day when i was going to reformat a drive and install an os. before i got to that i scavenged up another stick of older memory to add in, added it, then booted, but no post. reseated everything--same. pulled the board and trimmed it down to the basics...mobo, cpu, memory, video. same. swapped a working video card. same. thinking it was a bad stick of memory---it was older---i purchased another stick new. just put it in. different result now though. now, i get a one second beep on, then off for a second, then on ,then off. continues repetively on-off. reset the cmos. pulled the battery. no changes from this on-off beep. not *exactly* sure what the problem is. system seemed to be fine until i swapped the add'l stick of memory in. i am/was very careful in all my tech work but could i have fried the motherboard with something innocuous as this? or did i get a bad stick of brand new (kingston) memory? i am beginning to feel like throwing good money after bad trying to debug this prob. any idea of what this one second on, one second off beep means? or how best to continue debugging without going out purchasing additional hardware just to test a theory?
thanks in advance for any help.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the help. I foud the problem though. It was a faulty CPU. I know that I had swapped it out with my working AMD 1.4, but for some reason, this one would die once any load was put on it. I took my wife's 1.4 out and the mobo booted.
I just went out to ZipZoomFly (from Pricewatch) and bought two new AMD Athlon XP 1800+'s for $48 each. Hopefully they'll come in quickly and I can get my son's PC back to him before the end of his Christmas break. Thanks again all!

K7T Turbo2 cold boot problem

To all:
I recently replaced my old MB and CPU (Asus a7v133/AMD 850 Mhz T-bird) with a K7T Turbo2/AMD XP 1800+ Thoroughbred. All of the other components are the same (see below), except the PSU. I replaced my old one hoping that it would solve my problem.
When I cold boot the system the fans turn on but the system does not post and the monitor remains off. If I hit the reset button on the case the system boots normally. Also about 20% of the time the system emits a constant beeping (sounds like an alarm clock) when I cold start, which goes away when I hit the reset button. I have also noticed that the system trys to boot when I flip the power switch on the PSU. I don't know if this is normal with MSI boards, but my Asus would not boot until I hit the power button on the case.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave

To all:
Thank you for all of your suggestions. When I got home today I tried to boot up the system with only the 512MB RAM stick (Crucial Part #:CT64M64S4D) inserted in DIMM slot 1. The computer responded as described in the first post of this thread. I then tried the 256MB stick (Crucial Part #:CT32M64S8D75) in DIMM slot #1 and the system booted normally. I then subsequently added the other sticks of RAM in the remaining slots (512MB in slot 2 and the 128MB in slot 3). I think the 128MB stick is hitachi but not 100% sure...it might be Diahatsu (my short term memory isn't too good). I guess the 512MB stick did not seat well in DIMM slot 1.
However, my system still wants to boot up independently of the button on the case. The system will power up once I flip the PSU switch to the on position. I don't know if this is normal for MSI boards, but my Asus system would not boot until I pressed the case button. I must admit I am still unclear of the JFP1 wiring. However, I have tried the power switch and reset switch wiring in all combos and this did not solve the issue. Is there a BIOS setting or jumper somewhere that I am missing? Any more info would be useful.
Thanks again for the suggestions!
Dave
P.S.
Mauricio16,
Please read the entire thread before posting a response. As I stated earlier, I DO NOT have a D-Bracket...yet, and I HAVE tried a different PSU. Thanks for your suggestions though. Luckily it was not as an exteme of case as it could have been.
I guess both of us have learned a valuble lesson from this experience. When in doubt, reseat the RAM.

K7T Turbo2 Will Not Boot

I just purchased a K7T Turbo2 w/ an Athlon 1Ghz CPU for a client. The system will not POST. I just get a Red-Green-Green-Red LED Readout.
According to the manual, this means that the processor is not initializing.
I have tried different RAM, a different Video Card, taken the board out of the case, and everything else I can think of.
I don't have another processor to test with, so before I borrow one, I was wondering if it would be the processor, or if it would be the MB.
Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem with a KT3 Ultra2. I took it back, got another, and SAME THING! This is whats happenin'.
One power supply would not turn anything on, plain and simple. The other power supply I had would power the board, but the power would come on after flipping the back black switch. No POST, no front panel buttons working, no g4mx440 bios, no speaker beeps at all. The LED pattern I had (at powerup) was R-R-G-G : init. hard drive controller. Doesn't make sense to me.
I'm stumped. I'm using a Duron 1gHz and a Samsung DDR 128MB stick. (the CPU and AGP card's fans also come on with the power.) X( Help would be great.

Broadxent v.92 modem with K7T Turbo2

Running The K7T Turbo2
AMD 1500XP
256 PC133
Nvidia Geforce2 MMX 400
onboard sound
Windows 98
Trying to get the Broadxent v.92 internal modem to work. It works in my kids' computer, and my husband's but in my the enumerator is found and installs, then the modem is not! Tried all pci slots, turned off onboard usb, gameports, etc., updated drivers, tried different things in the bios. No luck. I am really aggravated as this modem connects really well and I don't want to just put it in the kid's computer! LOL

Hi,
In your BIOS is a modem setting, and normally it's set to auto, what happens if you set it to disabled?

AGP 4x not working k7t turbo2

I've tried everything to get this to work. I updated my BIOS, VIA 4in1 drivers, I've tried the latest Nvidia drivers but rolled them back due to incompatability with my Tnt2, but nothing works. I searched this forum and found a regedit solution, the values it wanted me to edit were already in 4x mode but it is still reported in 2x mode. SANDRA reports that my Motherboard doesnt support 4x, but it says on the MSI site that it supports 4x and in the BIOS it has an option to enable 4x (which is enabled). I've done everything i can think of to fix this, tried several video cards, all run at 2x. The only thing I can thnk of that is lacking is my Power supply because its 250 W but how could that force 2x mode?
K7t Turbo2
AMD Duron 1200 100 mhz FSB
895 Mb Sdram
TNT2 m64

I've done several reinstalls of windows and all have the same problem. Rivatuner says my agp bus only supports 1x/2x but is agp 2.0 which is 4x as well. Hope this is of some help.

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).
Cant wait for my K7N2 Delta ILSR to arrive to go with my Ti4600.
Should happily blow the Barton rig away

K7T Turbo2 does not select the correct speed for Athlon XP 2600+

I’ve tried many different combinations of multipliers and FSB, nothing works.
The Bios is AW 3.6 which is the latest and greatest.
At boot-up I get processor unknown @ 1533
According to the specs at MSI this MB should handle AMD Athlon 2600+
I’ve email MSI but so far haven’t received any help.
What am I missing?
Win XP Pro SP1
768 mb SDRAM 133
K7t Turbo2 MS-6330

Thanks Wonkanoby, I bet you're right. I just bought a new MB & RAM, SOG, I didn't need to mess with things, my system was runnig just fine. Now I'm $240 in the hole.

K7T Turbo2 CPU help AMD 2400+ Thoroughbred modal 8

hi nned a bit of help i have just got a AMD 2400+ Thoroughbred modal 8 CPU and i have updated the K7T turbo2 bios to the newest 3.6 off the MSI site atm it has a duron 1gz in it now when i fited the 2400 all get get when powering up is a black screen and as soon as i fit the 1ghz back in it works fine any info would be great cheers

Are you sure the cpu is good? It should work fine in your motherboard. Please furnish us info about the rest of your system.

K7T Turbo2 mainboard and 2600+

I really need help and tech support wont help
i have a K7T turbo2 motherboard and an AMD XP 2600+ (throughbred core)
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=24
the latest bios says it will support it but on startup it says unknown cpu type. the bios did update says on startup page. i udpater chipset drivers and every thing but im still hitting a wall.
I really need help here guys and gals
Greatly apperetiated
Widowmakernaff

Hi,
1. you landed in the wrong part of the forum - the moderator will probably transfer you to the AMD - VIA part
2. Are you sure about the CPU - it is not a 166 MHz CPU? That type of 2600+ is not supported by the Turbo2 board ...
3. How will the CPU be described, using CPU-Z for instance?

Need help w/ K7T Turbo2 and mobile Athlon 2600+/266

Hi.
I just bought a new Mobile Athlon 2600+/266 and can't quite get it to work right in my trusty Turbo2. It shows up during post as "Unknow CPU 800MHz", which is a little disappointing. (it is stable at this speed, though) My previous chip in this same board was an Athlon 1200/266 (A1200AMS3C), so everything worked at 133/266 before.
I've updated the BIOS to the most recent, checked that J17 is clear, stripped the box down to cpu + hd + 1 stick ram, and still no dice. All of my CMOS voltage/peripheral settings are at default.
The voltage/frequency menu in the BIOS correctly detects the chipset at 133MHz. When I tried to manually bump the freq multiplier to 15x, I actually saw a decrease in reported processor down to "Unknow CPU 733MHz". When I knocked it down to 14x, it dropped proportionally (to 667, I think). This makes me think that the freq multipler is correct at default, and that it's something else that's going wrong. I don't know what, though.
Is the problem that the chip is Mobile? My last guess is to try to up the voltage, but I didn't want to melt anything before checking with some experts.
I'm not looking for overclocking, just to get it running the 2.133 GHz that it was advertised at.
Thanks much,
-Clint
System specs:
Mobile AMD 2600+/266
K7T Turbo2 (latest BIOS)
ANTEC 350W model PP-352X
2x Micron 256MB PC133 (48lc32m4a2)

Does that board have a BIOS setting for FSB, as well as having the J17 jumper? I know a couple people with those boards, but never played in the BIOS to see. It sounds like it is actually trying to use 66MHz X 14, 15 or whatever Multiplier you are setting. Those Mobile chips are not Multi-locked like the normal CPUs are, and may be next to impossible to get set up on these older boards.

K7T Turbo2 and XP 2600+

Hi all, I have a K7T Turbo2 Motherboard with the latest Bios. I have just replaced the XP 1800+ Chip with an XP 2600+ one. I have set the CPU clock to 133Mhz but the computer will only run at 2000+ maximum, any help would be greatly appreciated,

The core speed of the 2600+ is 2083Mhz or 2133Mhz, not 2600Mhz as suggested by the name. AMD logic
Going any higher than those specified clock speeds is overclocking and might result in an unstable system. You might get it somewhat stable by tweaking the cpu vcore voltage and stuff.. but this is generally not recommended

K7T Turbo2: Unknow CPU type: 1733MHz

Hi, I have a K7T Turbo2, 1.5Gb PC133 DRAM. Athlon XP 2100+ CPU (1733 Mhz)...
Is there a reason the BIOS is not reporting this as a Athlon XP 2100+ ?
Bios Version: W6330VMS V3.5 070102 16:32:18
Thanks,
Soil

The AMD 2100+ CPU is not a 2100 Mhz. CPU, As my 2000+ CPU is a 1600 Mhz., your's a 1733 Mhz. When system is booting, you should see your CPU. recognized as 2100+. If not, check FSB to be sure is set at 133.

K7T Turbo2, AMD 2600 - wont recognize cpu correctly.
