K7t turbo2 + front side bus

i recently bought an msi k7t turbo2 and athlon xp 1700+, but when i boot up it only shows it as an athlon 1100mhz, i've asked a few friends and they told me to set the fsb to 133. i checked in the manual how, and it says to change the jumper however the diagrams weren't too informative (or i just didn't catch the drift), i was hoping somebody could explain in a little more detail

I have the same problem...
I have a k7t turbo xp1800 gf4ti4200 300Wps(one HD and nothing else to steal power) the cpu temp is >50C and the cooler is put on correctly.
And when putting the fsb to 133 i can boot up once then it will hang after ~15 mins. And if i reboot before that nothing happens the screen is just black.
Then i have to take the power cord out and leave it out for 5 mins then i can boot again but it hangs after ~15 mins.
But when running at 100fsb everything is working perfectly but the cpu is running slower of course.
I dont undestand why this is happening and its driving me nuts

  • 200 Mhz front side bus and K7N2G IGP

    Hi!
    I have a K7N2G motherboard and a Barton 2500 XP CPU capable of running with a 200 Mhz front side bus. Of course I also have ddr 400.
    Unfortunately the IGP cannot go to more than 196 Mhz font side bus (in my case). After that it will not boot.
    Is there anything I can do beside setting the memory clock lower than the (2x) CPU front side bus or just setting the CPU front side bus lower?
    I would really like the memory to run at 400 Mhz...

    Quote
    Question for anybody:
    Is it actually safe to oc the IGP?
    Assuming that a proper cooling is installed and the temperature is normal.
    hi
    take clarkkent57 for example.
    according to his signature he has oc'ed the internal graphics core to 240mhz.
    on my computer its running stock at 199mhz.
    just put this in a file and call it unlocknview.reg
    it will unlock some more options in nview including overclock options.

  • Front side Bus Slow ?

      Why would CPU-z say that my front side Bus is 266 MhZ ??
    Core Speed is 2134 on the dual core and L1 data is only 32 Kbytes..?

    Looks about right.  Your front side bus is running at native clock of 266MHz.  This translates to a rated FSB of 1066Mz (quad-pumped Intel:  4 x 266.66MHz = 1066.66MHz).  The E6420 is running at 266.66MHz x 8 = 2.13GHz.
    As for the L1 cache, 32KBytes is correct (32KB for data + 32KB instructions = 64KB total).  It's the L2 cache that's 4MB.  That should also show up in a separate field in CPU-Z.

  • K7T Turbo2 Ver.5 133 mhz bus

    I am sure this issue has been addressed numerous times: However, I cannot get my K7T Turbo2 Ver. 5 system board to accept the 133 mhz bus with my Athlon 1700+ CPU.  I have installed 133 mhz memory and, (as recommended in this forum), purchased and installed a 450 Watt power supply.  This does not resolve the problem. When I jumper "J17" to 133MHZ (open), windows XP halts during the boot.  Windows XP will only load in the shorted jumper position.  The maximum CPU speed I can obtain is 1100 MHZ!!  When I originally installed the CPU, I used white heat transfer lube between the CPU and the Athlon cooling fan.  I have tried repeatedly to resolve this problem since I purchased the board....no success much frustration!

    If anyone has a point by point solution please advise!!

    The only other thing you might try is to barebones the system, just a video card , the ram and a harddrive attached, and try to boot then. If the system boots then, you have a conflict with a piece of hardware.you proceed ,adding one piece at a time, until you find whats causing the problem. Sometimes audio cards or Nic cards can cause problems.and sometimes just by switching the slots they are located in, can help. Good Luck BD.51  :D  

  • K7T Turbo2 & heatsink clip

    Came across an interesting problem/solution while rebuilding a system for a client, FWIW.  They had been experiencing random errors with increasing frequency for several months, including Windows registry errors on boot, I/O errors, garbage error messages onscreen, temporary screen freezes and lockups, and then the system finally died completely.  I ran through the usual troubleshooting steps and found the motherboard and CPU were bad (I'm guessing power surge but who knows).
    Installed a new K7T Turbo2, new Duron 1.3 and new (quality) power supply.  I reused the old heatsink/fan from the dead Duron 900, cleaned and applied thermal paste as usual.  System would boot fine, then freeze, or show various hardware errors during POST.  After shutdown and a long period of cooling off it would boot as normal, then freeze and go into POST errors again.  I knew I had installed everything properly, but I took another very close look at the heatsink and found that it was somehow tilted ever so slightly in relation to the CPU, even though it otherwise appeared to be installed correctly.  This tilt was so slight, there couldn't have been more than a few millimeters of dice that weren't in contact with the heatsink.  In looking even closer, I discovered that the heatsink clip had a bend on one end which was closer to one end of the clip    /~___~~\   than the bend on the other end.  After reversing the clip, the heatsink then seated properly and the system is running fine with no errors.
    I'd never run across a heatsink clip that had only one proper orientation, nor did I realize how critical it is for the heatsink to absolutely, positively have total and complete contact with every last bit of the dice in order for the system to boot!  Sorry for the length of this post, justed wanted to throw this in, in support of the troubleshooting guide in this forum, and also to vent my frustration at having spent several hours trying to figure this one out.

    on good coolers the bar is not removable
    another clue on one were it will fall out is there is normally only one end has the clip for the screw driver and this should go towards the top of the cpu socket, and be on same side as step in the coolers base

  • K7T Turbo2 and Athlon XP 2400+

    Hello everyone !
    I have a question about K7T Turbo2 motherboard and BIOS update.
    Here it goes:  I reacently bought Athlon XP 2400+ and installed it on my mobo.
    But after reboot my PCU wasn't recognised and I read on MSI website that I had to
    upgrade my BIOS from 3.5 to 3.6 ( I think, don't remmeber the version ) . So I did that too
    and this time bios showed my CPU as XP 1800+. I said there is something wrong with CPU or
    they gave me a wrong one, but NO. After reading the manual I realised that that XP 2400 uses
    266 insted of 100 ( standard that came with mobo )and that I had to remove J17 jumper to make it
    work and also had to change options in BIOS --> like FBS 133 and multiplier 15  to get XP2400.
    Reason that I'm expling what I did is to let you know what stuff I did before I came to this forum to
    ask a Q. Anyway after all of that fuss PC works and shutdowns OK. But ( yeah there is a but ) now insted
    of starting at once I need to press power button one time -> and you can here power starting and lights
    showing but system not starting. Then I push and hold button for a few sec to shut it down. After
    second push of power button system starts as normal. It looks like it need a bit of warm up ( like my car in winter time ) before it actuali start. Is this a BIOS error becouse it can't start the system with ONE
    push of the button? Never had tha problem with Duron CPU and old BIOS. Need some help ..
    Thanks

    Hi!
    I think I solved your problem! It seems that I had exactly the same problem and the same settings you have. Then, I read this Trouble Shooting Guide at:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=1131&sid=
    which says:
    "As for mulipliers with AMD CPU's, just set them Automatic, as they are hardcoded on the CPU themselves and will allway's be correctly, even if if you think the BIOS doesn't know it."
    So I changed the multiplier from BIOS from 15 to Default, and now it starts up great even at the first time! Even my CPU benchmark score with PCMark2002 free went up from 5195 to 6344 so now it actually works much better than with the multiplier 15!!
    Try this before buying a new PSU and tell if it helps...

  • K7T Turbo2 won't power up

    I just recently purchased a K7T Turbo2 mobo. I am replacing an Abit KT7A  which all of a sudden stopped being able to read data of off any of my hard drives.
     I installed the case connectors as shown in the owners
    manuel, but can not now get it to power up. The owners manuel does not specify on the speaker ,reset  switch, or the power switch, which pin is positive. Can anyone confirm which way the connectors go? Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

    hi, i have that board and i have mine with the printed side of the connector all facing up,towards the cpu,both rows but that might not be your problem,double check ram and video,make sure their  seated good,it takes a very hard push to get them fully inserted,good luck and let us know how you come out :P

  • 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.

  • K7T Turbo2 and illegal opperations

    running K7T turbo2 (BIOS v.3.6) with AMD XP1600+ processor (shows as "unknow" type 1600+ during POST) and i am getting illegal operations out the wazzu.  OS is Win98SE.  Always the exact same error regardless of the application that falls victim "error in module at 0000:606045DF".  Being the exact same error each time tells me it is a hardware issue as opposed to a software issue.  Installed componants are just bare minimum for operation, AOpen GF4 MX440 vid card, WD 40G ATA100 HD, unknown brand 128MB PC-100 RAM.  no conflicts listed in the windows device manager.  I have tried with different RAM of the same brand and type with no change, both ram sticks and got registry errors.  Tried with Kingston PC-133 256MB and the system will constantly reboot (different issue I am sure) but if it stays running long enough I get the same illegal operation error.
    heat is not an issue, on all my trips to CMOS, the temp has never been above 42C
    anyone have any other thoughts?  I think I have narrowed it down to either the motherboard or the processor

    did not clear CMOS before installing the CPU as it was the first to be installed on this board but have cleared CMOS since as part of the trouble shooting, when first building the system I neglected to remove the bus speed jumper and it would not even get to the POST but I can try that again if it will not damage anything.  I am also talking to Kingston about the pc-133 ram (those errors might be a bad stick)
    can not get the new updates because the system will not run error free for long enough, aslo I am getting some access errors with the wondows update site requireing an administrator login when I have never setup a password on the system (again an unrelated issue)
    also since the my initial post I have tried a differetn power supply and it ran longer before giving me that error

  • 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

    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, 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

    I already tried swapping out everrything from video to sound, etc, those tricks DO NOT WORK.  Already tried using various settings in the bios, already tried mem timings, setting agp to 4x, or 2x, auto, manual and EA, etc... nothing seems work...
    The only thing that DOES work, is disabling the internal cpu cache..why? BEATS ME?!?  After its done loading hte main stuff, Im going to reinable it and see how it goes.. im tired of problems, I like the mobo, but Was having problems from the get go installing xp.. im reinstalling it now, since i was getting errors like irq_not less, that thingy there, and then stuff like ntfs error on a bsod, etc.  Installed the 4 in 1's, 442's then 443's, didnt work...psu isnt really an issue, has 220 tco, and runs fine, hard drive is not damaged, neither are the other optical drivers, and im just at my wits end.. this is really starting to tick me off..
    emailed msi tech support, nothing back yet... can someone PLEAES HELP!?!?  What bios settings should i use for xp pro installs and stuff?? lemme know! Thanks!!! And should i REALLY reinstall service pack 1?  any thoughts on this??

    WEll shite, now i gotta kill 98, cause now  IT aint even working...... this board sucks!  Im having more problems than a ECS mobo on a good day.  
    Now what, ive stuck my voodoo 3 in, and im fudgin with the settings, but quite frankly, im sick of all this, if it dont work, its going back and that pc shop is gonna fix this

  • 15" Macbook Pro right front side does not sit flat on the table.

    My 15" stock mbp's right front side doesn't sit on the table flat when the screen is lifted up. This is at the front corner of the optical drive. The bumper does not sit level. I have put it on the piece of glass just to make sure. It sits fine closed, but un-even when opened. Maybe the hinge is over torqued causing it to rise? I just got this from the apple store as a replacement for my first that had a bad screen 2 days ago. It's annoying for a 2000.00 dollar machine to have this issue. I took it back and they said it's in spec and that they will not let me do an exchange. Another one of their floor display MBP's had the same issue. The genius said he saw the issue but he would not to an exchange. There are two other apple stores in my area, is it worth a shot? This new second week of January build has a way better screen than the second week of December build. The coating on the screen is somewhat less and it has a better viewing angle. Other than the above issue, the laptop is fine. Is there any fix for this issue? I have read other people having the same problem. I frustrated because as a longtime apple supporter, I can't get get one out of the box that's right. Any help would be appreciated.
    Chris

    Thanks for the response. I went to the second Apple store and got the same response. It's a millimeter out off. He said that it was in spec. He said it's not perfect but it's not enough to get a replacement. So I may be over doing it here but I feel for a 2000.00 dollar machine, this should not be. It's small defect in the manufacturing process but it is one, none the less. Apple should take a zero manufacturing defect policy if a customer asks for a replacement machine. I think if it's not done right, than it should be fixed or replaced. Hey, I'll probably add some plastic to the foot that's off or I may open the thing up and bend it back to being perfect and fix this small defect but I think Apple should replace it. I have heard other having this problem and I have seen macbook pros in the store with this issue and they say it is within spec. I'll fix the issue that should have never left the factory myself. Anyway, I'll try adding more rubber to the foot.
