K7t turbo2 mb ver 3.2 highest processor?

Hi - Novice user.
I have a K7T Turbo2 motherboard version 3.2 and am trying to determine the fastest amd process supported. Also if this information is availabe on the msi web site, a web link would be appreciated.
Thanks

Welcome
You can verify the bios version at the top of the very first post screen (you get after powering on). Hit Pause key when screen appears, then Enter key to continue. Turbo2 goes to XP2600+, and correctly IDed with 3.6 bios.
Here is a link to the different bios versions.

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
System Specs:
K7T Turbo2 (BIOS ver. 3.6)
AMD XP 1800+ Thoroughbred

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 MOBO not supporting processor

Hey all,
Just bought a bunch of new hardware here:
Athlon XP 2100+
MSI K7T Turbo2 MOBO
(plus other stuff that doesn't matter right now...)
My problem is, the BIOS is only reading the processor as being a 1500+ when it boots. The BIOS is the most recent version, everything's up to date, I can't figure out what's going on... ?(
Also, on top of that, I have no sound from the MOBO. It's enabled in the BIOS (onboard sound), and I've attempted to install the VIA AC97 Drivers multiple times, but everytime I try it says, "VIA AC97 PCI Sound is not enabled in the BIOS - please enable it and run the installation again." But like I said, it's already enabled.
Anyone have ANY ideas as to what's goin on? Hopefully the MOBO isn't pooched and there's something we can do about this...
Thanks,
Chad

But it's not even the jumper that's causing the problem - I upped the FSB to 132 MHz (the highest it would allow with J17 still on), and left the multiplier at default (whatever that may be), and the processor is now being recognized as an Athlon XP 2100+. However, when I change the multiplier to 13, which should be the correct setting for a 2100+, the computer refuses to boot, whether the jumper's on or off. In fact, if I set the multiplier to ANY number, the computer refuses to boot. It's only when I leave it on Default that it will boot.
Also, after I removed the jumper and did the above fix, my sound started working... but only for a few minutes. Then the computer crashed and it refuses to work again.
Any other suggestions?
Chad

MSI K7T turbo2 MS-6330 bios ver 3.6..NEED SERIOUS HELP!!

Anybody plz help me.I own a mobo above running amd athlon xp 2000+. My system run well for one week. After dat, my system started to give me problem. It hangs one day and when i reboot my com, the message "Windows protection error. Please restart your computer" appears. I tried already many times to restarted my com..but still fails. So i think maybe RAM problem..so i try to remove and reinstall the RAM. Then my com succeed to boot into windows. Everything run ok..no problem for few days. Then suddenly my com hang again and I juz reboot my com. Then the same message appears again..May i know wat happened to my com.PLEASE HELP ME...:'(
My spec:
msi K7T turbo2 MS-6330 bios ver 3.6
AMD athlon xp 2000+
Asus v7100 Geforce 2 MX400
2x256 kingston ram(pc133)
2x20g maxtor hdd
1xTV tuner card
1XSb live soundcard

Try uninstalling the sound card and any other nonessential components. Also, when you uninstall click on the "show hidden" items and remove duplicates. Don't remove anything that you do not know exactly what it is including any marked "unknown" but if you see multiple sound cards or cd-roms, etc. remove them. Then see if you boot ok and gradually reinstall items.

K7T Turbo2 - Processor?

Howdy everyone,
Not really a technical question, but if anyone could answer it, it would be here.
I have a K7T Turbo2 that can at most support the Athlon XP 2600+ with the 266mhz FSB. I am trying to upgrade this thing and "max it out" The only problem is I can't find this processor for sale anywhere to save my life. I really want to hold on to this board and keep things simple. I got a deal on 1.5 GB of PC133 RAM from a friend, so getting a new processor would finish the job. Anyone know where I can get this processor at?
Thanks

lol, if you know what your looking for, and know how to find it, then ebay is your friend!! last week i bought an epson stylus inkjet printer for my lady friend, for just £20, with spare ink carts and in full working order. now i am going looking for an MSI Mega 180....

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!
Attached Devices: HD's IBM-DTLA-307015, WDC WD400BB-AUA1; Display MSI GeForce4 MX/440; IDE DVD ROM 16X; Optorite CD/RW 4802; Voyetra Santa Cruz audio card; Lexmark X63 all-in-one printer; Linksys Ethernet adapter.
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 ver5.0 won\'t reboot

I just recently bought a K7T Turbo2 (MS-6330) motherboard and I'm having a problem with it rebooting. I can't get the board to do a warm reboot. It works fine if I turn off the power and then turn it back on but even changing the BIOS settings won't allow it to reboot. I'm building this computer for someone and I will not give them a computer that won't reboot!!! I've tried to contact MSI techinical support and they have never answered me (through E-mail). I've read some other posts (in other forums) about problems with the EXACT same thing happening due to a chipset problem (KT133A) If anyone has had this problem or knows a solution please respond. here are my Spec:
K7T Turbo2 ver5.0
AMD Athlon 1200MHz (200MHz) CPU
AMD (Cooler Master) provided CPU Cooler
Matrox G400 Graphics card
2 x 64MB Crucial PC-133 Memory
P.S. I've tried other (known good) memory and graphics cards and I still have the same problem.

Well after waiting two weeks to get my replacement back from MSI I got another bad board. I haven't talked to their tech support about it yet but I think I'm going to get a different board from another manufacturer. In addition I'm going to make to STOP suggesting anymore MSI motherboards and I will definitely not choose them for my upcoming System upgrade. Just for reference.
The new board will not even POST. Or turn on for that matter. I checked all the jumpers. Unplugged everything else from the board except video, memory and processor (all proven good by another system).
I'm sick of playing with this company and I have a computer to build for someone. They just lost a formerly loyal customer. I'm not spending my money to ship it back again.
P.S.
I assume whoever sent back a KT333 motherboard and left the manual and D-Bracket in the box is going to be upset because they shipped my motherboard back in that box with the manual and the D-Bracket inside. May as well let things bounce around in the box during shipping the BOARD WAS DEAD ANYWAY!!!!!!!

K7T Turbo2 PCI Problem

Motherboard: MSI K7T Turbo2 MS-6330 Ver5.0
Bios: 3.6
Chipset Driver: 4.43
Processor: AMD 1800+ XP
RAM: 256MB SDRAM PC133
HDD: WD800JB 80GB
CDROM: Generic 50x
CDRW: Lite-On 40x12x48 LTR40125S
With Windows XP Home or Windows XP Pro, I cannot install any PCI devices. I have tried a modem, NIC and a Soundblaster live. It sees the device, and knows what it is, but fails to install. I have tried different PCI slots. I have tried just about every BIOS setting (and yes I disabled the integrated modem, either though there is no integrated modem) but can't figure it out.
With Windows 98SE, no problem installing PCI devices. I did use a different hard drive to test WIN98, but I don't think that would matter.
Does anyone have any ideas? I can't seem to get through to tech support (no surprise there).
Thanks,
DTM77

Thank you for the advice, but that's not it. I did what you said.. pointed to either the CD or floppy. Even with the soundblaster, XP new it was a soundblaster and tried to install it's driver, but no luck.
I'm going to try different versions of the VIA chipset drivers today and see what happens.

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 XP2000 won't boot up anymore!

?( i've just turned off my pc few hours ago. but now it won't even boot to BIOS.
When i turned on my PC, the HDD LED is always on (even though i hear no reading process happening) and the monitor goes blank . and strangely no error beeps from the pc speaker at all...
i've tried replugged all the components... but no hope.
i've tried testing the video card, memory, other pci cards to my spare pc that i'm using now. they worked properly.
I've tried reseating the processor and pull the BIOS battery out to clean current BIOS configuration but still no hope...
can someone pls 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 (6330v5) problem (with locked Tbreds)

Hi,
I've recently bought a K7T Turbo2 board (6330v5) OEM version (green PCB) made probably for Fujitsu-Siemens UK. They probably didn't need those board anymore and sold them (a lot of wholesalers have them in my country now).
Anyway I think the board I bought is damaged, but I not sure.
The problem is that it won't POST with locked T-breds. I've tried a 2000+ (3rd week of 2004) and a 2400+ locked T-bred (46th week of 2003) and the PC haven't started.
But with a T-Bird 1400Mhz, a 1700+ and 1800+ Palomino (probably locked) and 2400+ unlocked T-bred the board started without any problems.
Is this the problem with new XP processors (produced after the 39th week 2003 and internally locked) and this board or I have a damaged board?
TIA,
Max

Well, I didn't know it was the OEM version when I was buying it... But in this case I don't think the bios is the problem. The board looks virtually the same as the normal board.
And it boots with a pre-39 (24th week of 2003) T-bred 2400+, so it's not a lack of compatibility with T-bred issue.
For me it seems that this board has problem with T-bred made after the 39th week of 2003 (internally locked ones).
So I need to know if all of those boards have the same problem, or only this one?
BTW. Currently I'm running my unlocked T-bred 2400+ on a Abit KT7A board, and I've tried the same locked T-bred 2400+ that failed on MSI K7T Turbo2 on my abit board and it also didn't boot. So maybe there's something wrong the KT133A chip which makes KT133A boards incompatible with new locked T-breds?
Of course the locked T-bred runs fine on a KT400 board or a nforce2 ultra400 boards...

K7T Turbo2, doesn´t show splash screen

I´ve a problem with my K7T Turbo2, when the computer starts up, it doesn´t show me the MSI logo and it´s Enabled in the BIOS, if i disable it, the same... nothing happens. It´s strange a friend of mine has the same problem with the same Motherboard.
Please, need any help.
Thanks

I agree.
I think that if the board says it supports the fullscreen logo then it should when purchased.
Mine doesn't show the fullscreen logo either- I think that while it may sound trivial it is worth looking into because if a small feature like that doesn't work then I can suspect that the board is in fact at fault with my high idle temps of 55 degrees Celcius, (60 degrees loaded)
The heatsink/fan allowed 42 Degrees idle and 48 degrees loaded on my MSI 6378 PCB 1.0. Swapping the chip again gave consistent results. The paste is generic but it was the same on the 6378 anyway so that is not the problem. The system is stable for now but I worry about the long term effect.
And if the boot logo has a bug then maybe they really didnt implement the power savings correct either - viewing it as trivial since those temps are still within AMD's spec.
I know this is just a value setup but afterall Im still a student - Elec. Eng. and craftiness at this level disgusts so dont say why do I want my logo - Market segmentation is about less features for lowend not less quality (especially in something like a computer - data is involved). I had endless woes with my 6378 (crashing disk, screeching sound ) - imagine risking the PCB 3.0 Bios actually fixed a screeching sound issue. Go figure - MSI said that bios was not for PCB ver 1.0 and logic told me to go ahead anyway higher version usually means better code. (Of course I rationalised that mostlikely the new PCB mods were slight if only to take on the XP CPU's)
Long and short - The logo thing should be investigated especially if consistently wrong on others systems. Success in little things do add to consumer impression of a company. Dont brush this off.

K7T Turbo2 Sound Driver Problem

I just installed a K7T Turbo2 motherboard for my #2 system and am having a problem installing the VIA sound driver. The system freezes up before it finishes the installation and once I reboot the Device Manager says that since Windows stopped responding when trying to start the device, it wouldn't attempt to start it again.
I've tried new drivers (both sound and chipset), tried reinstalling the drivers a few times, made sure the sound card was active in the BIOS, and even removed a couple of extra spacers from under the mobo so I just have them on the four corners. Any other suggestions?
Thanks,

I think during the course of trying to get it to work, it requested the gm16.dls file. However, I think I finally got it installed from the Windows disk. Could this still be causing the problem?
Also, I tried out my SB Live! card from my primary system - the drivers installed and the card worked fine. I would prefer not to have to buy a seperate sound card, if I can get the on-board one working.
Thanks again,
