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 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?

  • 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.

    Turbo2 a terrific MB. Good luck!  )

  • 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,

    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

     ?( 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 BIOS CLOCK MULTIPLIER

    I've got a K7T Turbo2, ATHLON XP 1700+ with the latest BIOS Update.  MY Power Supply is 350W, ATI RADEON 9000, and 512MB SDRAM.
    I removed the jumper on the board so the FSB is 133 x2.  However, I've tried increasing the multiplier in the BIOS and it seems to have no effect.  I even took it up to 15, the max.  When the machine boosts and I open either FUzzy Logic or SiSoft Sandra, both still say my clock mulitiplier is 11, and the speed is still the same.
    Any thoughts?  I'm currently getting 1460 mhz from the processor.

    Sounds like a Palamino with locked multi. Only real way to verify - remove heatsink, and give us all data printed on core.
    OR, you could d/l WCPUID (see Google for d/l site- tiny d/l)and give a screenshot which should show the model of the CPU.

  • 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 shutdown

    I have a K7T Turbo2 motherboard with a duron 1.3 GHz processor bought as part of an upgrade package about a month ago. Lately, the machine has been shutting down after a period of time. The video shows a black screen with a white square in the middle. Input activity will not wake it, I have to reboot. Norton antivirus is installed and there a no driver issues.
    any advise? Thanks.

    Hi Patty,
    This Thread belongs in the VIA Forum since the K7T has the VIA Chipset, I will move it over there. 8)

  • 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

  • K7T TURBO2 DOES NOT SUPPORT HIGH DENSITY RAM

     X(
    It took three weeks of digging, but I finally found out why my MS6330 v5.0 continues to crash when I try to play games on it.
    Despite what MSI says about this board supporting the AMD ATHLON XP 2100+, the K7T TURBO2 does not.  In fact, AMD doesn't recommend any motherboard that uses 168 pin ram for use with processors XP 2100+ and above.
    Needless to say, I'm very disappointed with MSI.  I've built my entire system around this motherboard, I bought a gig-and-a-half of PC-133 ram for this computer!  
    If I hadn't done any homework, and just went out and blindly bought components and hoped it would work, well then I would deserve to have a junk system.  However, that is not the case here!  I read (before I bought anything) MSI's compatability charts, and I'm well within the parameters stated there.  
    I just thought that I'd let any potential buyers know this info, so they can save themselves some grief.  This seemed to be a very mysterious situation in my previous posts, I have a hard time believing that this forum has never seen problems with this configuation before.  

    Here is a link to NCP's website:
    http://www.hexon.com.sg/hexon_tech/products/desktop_sdram.asp
    Also, you should know that I LOVE working with my computer's hardware and other technical components.  I don't often find myself with this level of frustration when doing these kind of procedures.  Using a methodical step-by-step approach and keeping documentation of these steps usually uncovers the inherent problems of building your own system in a matter of a few hours, perhaps even days...   but not months.  
    As you have suggested, I have, of course started with a barebones system (1 ram, lots, of fans, default bios, 1 hdd-fdd-cdrom) and these problems do not go away, even with the most basic settings.
    This is what I've determined by using my AMD Tbird 1.4 CPU on the same motherboard, with the FSB jumper back in:  The motherboard is not defective.  I can run everything that I'd like to with this different CPU in.  Whether the problems I'm seeing with the XP 2100+ are caused by changing the FSB to 133 or not, I'm not certain.  However, changing the cpu and the FSB are the only changes that need to be made to see these problems return.
    By the way, I can overclock the hell out of my CPU and get my computer to boot too.  It just doesn't solve the problems I'm having, so I don't bother -- yet
    I've tried a different video card, and I get the same trouble.
    I've tried my ram in another system (one at a time and all together) and run memtest86 on it for 25 hours.  No trouble there.
    My PSU serves up 220 Watts across the 3.3v and 5v outputs.  This seems sufficient.
    I have a total of 9 high output fans in this system, and my CPU runs at a balmy 56 C while running the distributed.net client.  ( I ran it overnight, with no problems)
    Obviously, this is a graphics related problem, and adjusting texture detail directly affects the amount of time that passes before the game hangs or crashes.  Less is more, if you know what I mean
    I've read that this is a known issue with older VIA chipsets.  The article was a little dated though, about 18 months ago.
    If there is anything that I'm missing, please let me know.
    I'll write more details later, if you'd like to help me troubleshoot this problem.

    "System power On
    -The D-LED will hang here if the proccesor is damaged or not installed properly"
    As it says in the K7T Turbo2 manual
    We used a scope to see if the core voltage was oke but it isn't.The input on the chip is oke but the output is about 1.2 Volts.And the chip is getting red hot.
    We took out the processor, restarted the system without processor. The core voltage should go to 0 Volt.
    Reinstall the processor and startup.
    It worked for me.
