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, changing CPU

I have a MSI K7T Turbo2 motherboard.
I'm changing my CPU from a Athlon (thunderbird) 1200 to a Athlon XP 2400+ Thoroughbed.
I've update my BIOS driver to version 6.30.
From what I've read in the CPU support page, the ratio is automatic.
Dos that means that I just have to change the CPU and the moterboard will know the speed and the FSB? Or do I have to change something on the moterboard or in the BIOS?
Thank You

Not the fsb, you have to select fsb133 manually (please read the manual about this). The multiplier is recognized automatically.
Btw: Bios version 6.30?

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

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 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.

Installing XP Pro on MS-6330 (k7t turbo2)

Im having oodles of problems installing Xp pro (and even win 98) on my computer. My current setup is:
K7T Turbo2 (latest revision, with 3.5 bios)
Athlon XP 2000+
40 gig maxtor hd
hercules gamesurround fortissimo 2
Visiontek Geforce 4 MX 420 AGP

intellimouse optical (in ps2 mode atm)
standard keyboard
generic 512 pc 133 sdram (tested with various memory test, including mem86 or whatever that was called, hehe) no errors, works perfectly
Problems arise when installing xp pro (and xp home) when at the point where it says: starting windows ... then either it reboots, blue screens, with errors like: page fault in non page area, or usb.sys or something, so ive disabled usb, etc etc...
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
and heres that farking problem with xp now..

New BIOS for K7T Turbo2

I just downloaded the latest BIOS from your site (W6330VMS.360) and was planning on installing an Athlon XP 2600+ CPU. I was expecting to see a CPU multiplier of 16 available in the BIOS settings but it only goes up to 15. Can I still install a 2600+? What would the multiplier be?

Hello,
should be x16 Multi. i can't see manual selection for x16 multi too.
in BIOS description: -Support AMD XP 2400+ & 2600+ (K7T Turbo2 only)
i have checked inside and confirm that 2600+ ratting exist(323630302B@00009EA0)
i guess you should leave/setup "CPU Clock Ratio" to Default(not to override/force custom values), BIOS will ask CPU for his default multi by vid and should apply correct one.
think should be fine

K7T Turbo2 - how do I tell BIOS to boot from USB?

I have an old K7T Turbo2 system, and I'm trying to install Windows 7 on it. I guess that's my first question - am I going to run into any nasty problems running W7 on this board, other than RAM limitations? I have a version of "Tiny7" (which installs from CD-ROM) installed already and it seems fine, but I'd rather run a fuller non-pirated OS, and that means installing from a DVD/iso. I don't have a DVD drive installed and it would be a bit of a pain to acquire one, so I'm hoping to boot from USB to winstall W7.
I have a PCI USB2.0 card installed in the system, which seems to work fine. I've set the BIOS to boot from USB-FDD (but I've also tried USB-CDROM and USB-ZIP). I have BIOS 3.6. I've tried booting from the PCI USB2.0 hub (will that ever work or does the BIOS not recognize it?) and from the regular USB1 port on the mobo (but my USB flash drive is USB2).
Is there something else I need to do in the BIOS to get this to work? Will it never work no matter what I do?
I read somewhere about a BIOS setting to "enable legacy USB support" but can't see anything like that in my BIOS settings.
Any suggestions? (thanks in advance)

If there is no option to boot from USB-HDD then it may never work.
Long shot I know, but what if you connect your USB drive, then power on your system, and press F11 when the logo/POST screen appears, does the drive show in the Boot Menu that appears?

Really? DVD drives are very common, and cheap as chips! You can pick up a brand new DVD writer, for the price of a (good) DVD movie.

K7T Turbo2 V5.0 Cannot Properly Shutdown

Hello everyone,
The thing is that "Power" button on my case doesn't work for me properly. When I'm just booting the machine, the moment I press the power button the whole system freezes (the hdd led remains on, power led goes off, fan is on, disks are on, monitor is on, boot screen is on). When I press it again, system reboots.
Many of you had the similar problem before... I tried most of the suggestions... Nothing worked for me.
When in WinXP, the moment I press "power" button, system performs the shutdown, but after the drives arу off, monitor is off etc, cpu fan remains on.
Many of you will say that my PSU is not good enough. The same PSU works wine with the same config, same cpu with Abit K7T 1.3 though.
Actually, I've been able to shut down properly once. I had my machine turned of (with the I/O switch on a PSU) for quite a while, and I cleared out the bios settings. But after the machine remains on for more that a few minutes, "power" stops working.
Please help.
Configuration:
K7T Turbo2 V5.0
1Gb PC133 RAM
AMD 1700+ Athlon XP CPU
Realtek 10/100 PCI LAN
Gforce2 GTS-V
Athlon XP certified 300W PSU
Windows XP Pro, SP1

Where did you get the CPU from and do you know for sure it was pulled from a working system? eBay, and no... :(
Are you 100% sure you have Turbo2 & the OPN on the CPU itself is AXDA2600DKV3C? Yes, I visually see them with my own eyes.
You did clean base of HSF and use fresh thermal compund/grease when installing CPU & HSF/cooler? Yes.
I assume it still works with the 1800+? Yes, using it right now.
Recheck power connections and make sure the plugs are fully seated (ATX 20 pin, JPW1 square 4 pin) I'll check that the next time, probably tomorrow.
Is PSU +12V more than 10-12 amps? No idea what you're talking about here...

K7T Turbo2 Post problem

Hey all, first time here. I am trying to fix my son's computer for Christmas. His old mobo went dead and I picked up a K7T Turbo2 at the local shop. Details below:
K7T Turbo2 mobo - Award BIOS v6.00PG (W6330VMS v3.7)
AMD Athlon 1.4
2 x PC100 128MB ram
AGP GeForce4 MX (tried Rage 128
WD 40GB hdd
Standard 52x CD
Macron PSU 300W
When booting the first few times, it acts like it wants to boot, gets through post and tries to access the hdd - but never gets to any MS booting screen (XP loaded on hdd) - screen just goes black. I turn it off and back on and it gets to the point where it does the HDD check and freezes. The diagnostic LED stops on #1 red and the rest green (manual says boot attempt, but it hasn't even done a hdd check yet). I take it down and back up again several times. Sometimes the LEDs stop on #2 red and the rest green (manual says floopy init).
I took the board back to the shop and got another with the same results. I have tried different AMD 1.4 (from a known working PC), different PC100 128MB sticks and PC133 256MB sticks. I've tried booting with only minimal parts attached (no hdd or cd) with the same results. The only thing I can think of is the PSU is not strong enough. I've tried plugging in the little 12V piece and not using it with the same results. HELP!!!! Tomorrow is Christmas and my son is going to be very disappointed. TIA!
AirGator

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 No Bootup

i just bought the MSI K7T Turbo2 MS-6330 v5. i'm using the AMD 2000+. i was using a 350w power supply. didnt boot up. i thought it was the extra 4 pin power supply thing (that p4's have) which was the problem. i went out and bought a 400w power supply with the extra 4 pins. still didnt work. i then wondered if it was my cpu, so i tried a working AMD Tbird 1.33ghz from a different machine. still no luck. The D-Bracket gives me 4 red leds on both occassions. i know its not my cpu. i know its not my power supply. i also changed the video card from a gf2 gts to an ati 8500. no luck there. i can never get to POST. nothing ever comes on screen. a friend with same board had similar problems not getting into POST and fixed it by setting FSB from 133 to 100. he was using a Duron 950 though. i tried this method, still no luck. i've tried just about everything i know, and cant get it to work. any other tips? should i contact msi and send this board back?

--------------------------

already did so Bas. i've built a few computers in my time, have run into many problems, but never anything like this. when i first ran into the problem, i read on the troubleshooting first, when that didnt work, i tried switching the various cpus/psu/gpu/memory. still didnt work. then i started from the beginning, broke out the mobo manual, and did it step by step. still no luck. i'm kinda pissed cuz i bought a new psu ($67, although i wouldve needed it eventually), sort-of new gpu ($40 ati radeon 8500), new cpu ($104 AMD 2000+ because i thought my previous AMD 2000+ was fried), memory ($56 PC133 PNY 512MB). i've tested the mobo with 2 cpu's (the tbird 1.33ghz and amd 2000+, am waiting for my new amd 2000+ to come in), 3 gpu's (radeon 8500, gf2 gts, tnt2 ultra, all agp), different arrangement of memory (512mb pny + 512mb kingston value ram dimm slot 0+1 and vice versa, 512mb pny alone dimm slot 0, 512mb kingston alone dimm slot 0), and with various psu's (350w antec, 250w generic, 400w powmax w/the extra 4pin adapter that mobo optionally requires). still no luck. after all this, i'm thinking i may have ordered a bad mobo, i dunno though. please help :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!!!!!!!
