K7T266 Pro with Award Bios (Change FSB)

Hi,
I've got an old motherboard and i would put on it an athlon 1400 processor.
I have installed it correctly on the motherboard but the fsb is equal to 100 mhz.
I would set it to 133 mhz because the processor runs at 1050 mhz... (10,5 * 100)
With the Ami Bios, it's easy to change the fsb but with Award Bios, i don't know how change it ...
I have verified the bios version with MSI Live Update and i have got the latest version ...
How can i do to change the fsb on my motherboard ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Kris

Which mainboard you have? ==> http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=searchresult&keywords=K7T266+Pro
"With the Ami Bios, it's easy to change the fsb but with Award Bios, i don't know how change it ..."
?? They all are using AMI BIOS.
"I would set it to 133 mhz because the processor runs at 1050 mhz... (10,5 * 100)"

  • K7t266 pro with pc2700 RAM

    is this ok?
    cause pc2700 ram is actaully eaiser to find and infact cheaper not sure why..
    but will it be ok with my mobo? do its a kingston brand
    also kingston only sell cas 2.5 right?
    thanks for the help

    Most actual boards need pc2700 so more pc2700-ram is produced than pc2100.
    Pc2700 should work on your board but prearrange the chance of exchanging it with your dealer.

  • Can't set fsb clock (k7t266 pro )

    Hi there,
    I hope someone of you gurus is able and wanting to shed some light on my problem:
    I replaced the duron 700 on my k7t266 pro with a xp2000+
    (palomino). When I want to change the fsb clock in the bios
    I can't. It stays 100Mhz
    I upgraded the bios with ver 1.90, and disabled bios prot.
    What is it that I'm doing wrong?
    TIA

    should i try a lower version of the bios?
    In the bios setup menu i don't have the possibility to load
    high-performance settings ( that option isn't there).
    But maybe that is correct in ver 1.90
    thanx

  • [VIA] K7T266 PRO- RU motherboard: Windows XP on a RAID ARRAY (fasttrak100 LITE)

    Hi All!
    I have a
    MSI  K7T266 PRO- RU motherboard, BIOS is the latest, official from MSI website,
    Problem short description: Windows XP (sp1 or sp2 english, I tried both)
    will not install when I set 2 x 40 Gig = ~80 Gig Stripe Array.
    detailed description:
    motherboard K7T266 PRO- RU  BIOS 1.9 AMI BIOS.
    AMD ATHLON XP 1700 + "Palomino" microprocessor, at default speeds.
    one piece of 512 PC 3200 RAM, can tell details later.
    Power supply: 400 W CODEGEN model : 300X.
    HDD-s : one IBM deskstar, fully functional, and a SEAGATE barracuda. seagate SEATOOLS, IBM DFT 32 no errors both.
    I set in the FASTTRAK 100 LITE "PDC20276R" (written on the chip) bios a STRIPE array. Powerquest drive magic , or the Windows XP CD handles it fine , as a 80 gig disk.
    I downloaded ALL available versions of the FASTTAK 100 LITE driver from the MSI website.
    (only tried: MSI driver FASTTRAK 100 lite, the only available driver on the MSI website, and various drivers from www.promise.com) ( http://www.promise.com/support/download/download2_eng.asp?productId=15&category=driver&os=0&go=GO ) (but I guess they WONT support my raid controller on the motherboard)
    Windows XP CD , booting, Press F6 for additional RAID /SCSI drivers, I put in the floppy, choose WinXP fasttrak lite driver, windows continues, even formatting the 80 GIG disk, copy files- access the FASTTRAK.SYS driver, EITHER it says: no fixed disk present, press F3 to exit windows setup, or windows setup continues, copies files, reboots, and then STOP ERROR
    http://www.martin555.dyndns.org/stop.jpg
    please, help me with the following:
    how to install XP on a raid array.
    is it worth, will it be little bit faster disk load times etc?
    is it secure if I trust the HDD-s?
    any clue, how to overclock the AMD 1700+ athlon XP palomino to its maximum, but still stability?
    AND : I read a lot about some MOD-ded BIOS called " KUNIBERT"  , which makes the LITE raid to a FULL RAID and some other extras? where to get it and what to do?
    email me if you can    martin5   "at"   freemail.hu
    THANKS !

    pardon me, dump? my english is not very perfect.. you mean to trow away, replace to something better, more stable power supply, more powerful?
    you must see... first I would like to resolve the "installing XP on a raid array" problem,( how is it possible, is it worth, will it speed up hard disk access and load times... etc... ) and after that maybe I  will OC the machine...
    it is now , with a 8 cm ventillator and a large aluminium cooler 39 Celsius IDLE and goes to 45 Celsius during EVEREST benchmarking test. (temperatures on 1700+ default setting and OC-'d to 1900+. just experiencing with it. ) (I saw the toms hardware guide movie , smoking processors..)
    cheers, Marton.

  • K7T266 Pro and XP200+

    I tried to upgrade my K7T266 Pro with an AMD 2000+ CPU and was unsuccesful.
    I first upgraded to BIOS version 1.8 (which the MSI site said would allow me to use this CPU) and then installed the CPU. I heard what sounded like the BIOS trying to Post, but no video showed up on the monitor and the system just stopped.
    My system worked just fine when I re-installed my old 1.2 GHz processor.
    Any suggestions would be welcomed.

    Good question. I saw nothing listed on the package and I had trouble trying to track down that information on the AMD web site. I was under the impression that all 2000+ XPs were palaminos, but your question intimates that that may not be the case. If you know of a direct way to determine if the CPU is a palamino or not I would be grateful for the information.
    I went through the very thorough checklist that Bas had posted (great effort on his part) and everything cleared, including the power supply unit. I guess all that would be left is an incompatible core.

  • USB problem with K7T266-Pro

    I have an USB problem with Logitech Cordless Wingman Gamepad. I have dowloaded the newest version of logitech gamepad, and the VIA drivers for motherboard K7T266-pro. I also tried to install the USB filter rc1, but the problem remains.
    Here is how the problem occur:
    1. On start up, the gamepad is detected and ready to use.
    2. While I am playing a game, the usb device is reconnecting a lot. I turned of the "Allow this device to turn off to save power" in device manager under all USB root hub. But the problem remains.
    3. After a while, when I have been playing for a while, the gamepad turns off, and the usb device is not recognized error message appears. Under device manager I now have a Unknown Device under USB.
    4. To get it function again I have to restart the computer.
    Anybody who knows the answer for this ?  

    I have a similar problem but with my Logitech optical mouse.  It's also using the usb port and it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting the device in Win XP.  I use to have Win2000 and I experienced the problem but not as often as now.  Also in Win2000 there wasn't an annoying sound when a device would connect and reconnect, and not to mention when your playing a game and the mouse quits for 1/2 a second, really annoying!  Sometimes it will quit completely and I have to either physically reconnect it or reboot to get it working again.  
    I have recently tried fixing the problem:
    a) I flashed my old Bios and put in ver 1.9 from this site
    b) I've updated the Via 4in1 drivers
    c) I've updated the mouse drivers that come from Logitech.
    None of these updates helped.  I've taken my mouse to work to see if it does the same thing, but so far so good.  My pc at work is running Win2000 but different MB.  I don't think there is anything wrong with the mouse.  Although I haven't tried using the PS/2 adapter  that came with it and see if it behaves the same way.  I have a feeling the mouse will work fine, but kinda sucks cause I have usb and I have to revert back to PS/2 just so it works properly.
    I've read on the Via Hardware forum some people having the same problem but with an Abit board.  They changed something in their Bios to resolve it.  If anyone has any ideas, maybe changing something in the Bios that has to do with the usb ports, I would greatly appreciate it.

  • DKA790GX Platinum, have problem with changing FSB in Dual Core Center

    Hello guys, freshblood is here,
    I change fsb in Dual core center, but unfort.  core temp and CPUZ don't reflect any changes.

    I agree.  The BIOS gives you better control with better options.
    Quote from: Jack the Newbie on 26-January-09, 02:14:05
    Dumb MSI Dual Core Center.  It is not the best tool ever developed.  Use the BIOS for overclocking your system.

  • Help! Can't overclock via CPU Ratio (multiplier) with K7T266 Pro (MS-6380)?

    I have a Athlon 1.2 GHz (266 MHz FSB) that I'm trying to overclock via the clock multiplier on my K7T266 Pro (MS-6380) mobo.
    Right now the CPU ratio is set to Auto in the Hardware Monitor in the BIOS, but I know that it's using a clock multiplier of 9 (9 x 133 Mhz = 1197 Mhz, which is about 1.2 Ghz)
    The only way that I can overclock this CPU is by increasing the FSB above 133 MHz.  That works, but I'd like to avoid that as the USB no longer works when the FSB is past 138 MHz (i.e. I can't OC higher than 1242 MHz through the FSB)
    If I set the clock multiplier above 9 (ex: 9.5, 10, etc.) nothing happens.  I reboot and my CPU is still at 1.2 GHz.  Its as if I can't OC by increasing the CPU ratio.  I'd like to set it to 10 and run at 1.33 GHz but I can't.  Why is that?
    If I lower my CPU ratio below 9, then the computer freezes up totally at bootup and I have to clear the CMOS to get it working again.
    THANKS!

    Hi,
    You need to unloack the CPU, search google for closing L1 Bridges, then you can set it to anything you want

  • K7T266 Pro (MS-6380) v1.0 with IBM 180GXP/180 GB drive

    Hi,
    I'm thinking about buying one of the new IBM Deskstar 180GXP hard disks and I'd like to go for the 180GB version.
    Question is, wether my board K7T266 Pro (MS-6380) v1.0 with latest bios v1.9 will support the large drive 100%.
    I read in the changelog for the bios about the support for the Maxtor 160 GB drive but is somebody actually using a disk larger than 128 GB, that might require 48 bit adressing with the MS-6380 (it's the old version 1.0 I'm talking about) and has more than 137 GB on data on it without noticeable problems? I couldn't find any info about this in the forums or on the net.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    G. Freeman

    Hello Assaf,
    Thank you for your note.
    Just for the archives: I bought the 180GB IBM-disk and it's working without any problems. The 1.9 BIOS is fine and Windows recognizes the drive as well. Only thing I had to do was to update the VIA 4-in-1 drivers and enable Big LBA support in Windows 2000, as described in Microsoft Knowledge Base article #305098. After a reboot Windows recognized the complete disk (before only ~128 GB).
    After some hours of testing (bit by bit writing and reading on the whole disk and some 'WinBenching') I installed Windows 2000 and it's running very well so far.
    Anyway, others might be better off with an IDE controller for Windows 98/ME or NT4.

  • K7T266 Pro (MS-6380) safe BIOS-upgrading?

    I'm still using BIOS v.1.0A for my K7T266 Pro...  I guess...
    So what's the safest way to upgrade to V1.9?
    I'm unsure about flashing... and cant afford any comupter-failure for the moment (thou I want a bigger harddisk)!
    Any suggestions?    /Stefan

    Best way is to follow the instructions to flash using 2 floppy disks. One will have the windows98 startup files the second will have the flash program and the update itself. Just make sure you copy the flash util and the update over to the temporary drive it makes. Also if you have a UPS (universal power supply: battery backup) it would be benifical to hook it up just in case the power goes out.
    Just make sure you read the stickies in the bios section of the forum and if you have any other questions feel free to ask. It is always a risk to flash your bios, but it is also a risk everytime you get into a car. You just want to be well informed, before you attempt this, just like you "should" be with driving a car.
    Good Luck

  • I have only loaded phone contacts in my new iPhone 5 and my email contacts only on my Macbook Pro with retina display contacts how can I keep them from changing my iPhone to email contacts only when I connect to iTunes please

    Since purchasing a new iPhone 5 and macbook pro with retina display I have decided to keep the iPhone 5 for phone contacts only, and the macbook for email contacts only .. Is there a way for me to keep these as they are recorded on each apple product when I sync with iTunes as it has changed my iPhone and put in email contacts and thus deleted iPhone phone contacts once when I syncd thanks appreciate any help

    To prevent your iPhone from automatically syncing when you plug it in, click on iTunes in the menu bar, then preferences, then "devices", then tick "prevent iPhones, iPad's and iPod's from syncing automatically".
    Plug it in, then on the iPhone sync summary screen, click "info" along the top.
    Make sure the "sync contacts" option is not ticked. as long as it's not ticked, then it won't sync with your mac's contacts but will still include them in backups.
    Also, if you use iCloud, make sure that the iPhone/mac are either not signed into the same account, or that "contacts" is not turned on for both of them

  • Since purchasing my Mac Pro with retina display, I can no longer change the preferences on MP Navigator for Canon MX870. Help?

    Since purchasing my Mac Pro with retina display, I can no longer change the preferences on MP Navigator for Canon MX870. I can change them on my old Mac Pro with Lion, but not the new one. I can scan but I can't save it to a folder on my hard drive. I can only let it default to a back up date folder. Tried all sorts of things to change the preferences and folders, nothing worked. Ideas?

    NicholasLiban -
       When you use the Lion restore as described, it does a fresh install on the hard drive that you can select at the beginning of the process.  This provides a complete install of the very latest version of Lion, including the recovery partition.  The drive that you choose for the installation destination winds up like what you would have on a brand new computer from Apple.
