KT 4V+XP 2600 BARTON+DDR@266MHz POSSIBLE ?

Last week i decided to upgrade my athlon xp1800, and I bought a xp2600. Unfortunatelly, the new xp2600 is barton core ( 512kb L2 cache ), that means the fsb is to be set at 166MHz and the multiplier 12.5 (or 11.5).
The problem is that I have 1GB of PC2100 DDR ( 266MHz ) memory installed.
Whenever I try to set up the fsb and memorz clock separately ( fsb - 166, mem - 133 ), and reboot, the memory clock is automatically set to 166 ( DDR 333mhz ).
Simple question> Is there any way to set up MEMORY clock and FSB separately.
Do I have to go for new MEMORY MODULES ( DDR333, or DDR400 ), to run the CPU at full speed?
The board is KT4V, BIOS 1.9..........
Please let me know.......
THANX

There is a 2600 barton?  I thought it was only t-bred B's, that were 2600.
Oops, my bad, there is a 2600+.  Still haven't really seen one around yet though for sale.  No matter.

  • O/cing athlon xp 2600+ (barton)

    I am planning on o/cing my athlon xp 2600+ but O.o if i select 14/15x multiplier in bios i get 4/5 O.o btw im still using a stock cooler so untill i get my coolmaster jet 7 it doesnt really matter though ^_^ btw y does my pc stop booting after i raise fsb over 179   well i think i fixed my blue screen erros by raising core to 1.675V but its not reallly stable its changing between 1.7 and 1.675 so should i worrie about that or not?? thx for the help already.

    hi im new here so take it easy on me ok?
    i was also thinking to OC my CPU but i dont have a clue where to start.
    my setup:
    AMD Athlon XP 2600+ ( Barton core 333fsb ) cooler: zalman 6000 copper
    KT6 Delta LSR
    Twinmos DDR 512mb X1 pc400
    powersupply: Enermax model:EG365P-VE

    +5v = 32A
    +12v = 26A
    GraphicCard: Nvidia GeForce4 TI 4200 AGP 8X 128mb DDR
    my HDD is a Maxtor 80GB 8mb cache S-ATA 150, including 1X 80GB maxtor 2mb cache ATA 133 and a Maxtor 40GB 2mb cache ATA 133 ( if this matter at all )
    and im running this all on WinXP home Edition.
    ok, im using this centrecore feature and it tells me that my CPU runs at 100Mhz FSB and the multiplier is 11.5.
    my Vcore voltage is 1.66.
    my 3.3 voltage is skipping between 3.38 ~3.41.
    my 5 voltage is 5.05
    and my 12 voltage is 11.76
    now i dont really want to push my CPU to the limit but it would be nice that i could ACTUALLY use the 2600+ instead of 1150.
    if i can clock my CPU to 2000 safely and runs stable then its ok, that would be worth the money i invested in the CPU.
    thanx in advance

  • MSI KT4V-L & Athlon XP 2600+ Barton

    Hi all,
    I just upgraded my Athlon XP 2000+ to a Athlon XP 2600+ Barton and i have noticed a problem.
    After putting the new CPU on the mobo and a new HS&Fan *Volcano 7+* then flashign the bios, i have had 2 weird reboots.
    I had a error once when playing the UT2004 Demo on the 2000+ but i also get errors every now and again witht he 2600+ but thats no big problem its a beta demo so you might expect it but the last error i got said some info as the others did then when i hit ok the pc rebooted.
    Also earlyer i went away from the pc then came back and it had rebooted itself again im not sure if this was a power cut or somethin so i am just checking if there any any known problems with the MSI KT4V-L and the AMD Athlon XP 2600+ Barton.
    System specs are as follows:
    Windows XP /SP1
    Latest Drivers
    AMD Athlon XP 2600+
    MSI KT4V-L
    NVIDIA Geforce FX 5900 Ultra 265MB
    1GB DDR 400Mhz
    550W PSU

    AMD Athlon XP 2600+
    MSI KT4V-L
    NVIDIA Geforce FX 5900 Ultra 265MB
    1GB DDR 400Mhz
    550W PSU
    This is what you list for your system. You also admitted the PSU is a Q-Tec, and have been shown the warning about Q-Tec being very low quality.
    1. The 2600 is going to use more power than the 2000.
    2. The GeForce FX 5900 uses a lot of power.
    3. 1GD Ram uses a lot of power.
    You have not listed how many drives you have in your system, but there must be at least 2 (1 HDD & 1 CD) those also use power.
    The error message is pointing to a video driver as the culprit, but I am willing to bet it is actually caused from the video card's inability to operate due to low power.
    I would try borrowing a better quality PSU, and testing with that, and chances are the problem will disappear.

  • K7n2 delta2-fsr and 2600+ Barton o/c problem!

    Hi my system consist's of :
    Athlon xp 2600+ Barton
    k7n2 delta2-fsr ( B3 bios)
    2*256 Twin Mos cl 2.5 Dual channel
    GForce4 MX 440
    ASUS 300w (+3.3V-> 28A, +5V -> 30A, +12V -> 18A)
    The problem is that i can't go stable above 178 FSB whatever the Vcore is!
    The cpu temperature seems to be low enough ( 38 idle)
    With my previous mb i had reached easy 192 with the same processor.
    The DOT is disabled!
    Any ideas?

    enable acpi.
    set dot to default
    set nvmm enabled
    set fsb:ram 1:1
    agp to 68mhz
    nv/ati speedup leave auto
    cpu interface set to normal
    give nesesery CPU Vcore...
    set DIMM Vcore at minimum 2.70
    leave memory timmings to optimised if you dont know what to set.
    start from memtest86 to be sure its memory probs. make sure there is no errors at test number five.
    start increase DIMM Vcore if errors is detected till 3.0V its safe mobo is dimm is undervolted after 2.9V isnt give actual core what is suppose to be. let we know how its going.
    make sure 1st that you dont have any memory fabric malfuction. this can be done by testing one stick then test other stick with memtest86.
    at all i think that your CPU want more Vcore to be stable when you change FSB to higher. set CPU Vcore to 1.85V to be sure.(standart cooler can handle it) or best way is to lower multipler and set FSB to 200FSB to test memory if toyr CPU is unlocked.
    First of all i'have already tested my cpu and the rams with my previous mobo,so unless this mb has a problem i should go up to 192fsb without any problem!
    Now i can't understand why should i raise the Vdimm since the ram runs at lower frequency than the deefault?
    Anyway i'll try all you say above and let's hope that everythimg will go ok!
    Thanks

  • K7n2 delta2-fsr and 2600+ Barton problem!

  • Thinkpad T30--Looking for (1) 512MB PC2100 DDR 266Mhz 200-pin SO-DIMM

    Helping a friend out overseas who has this as the only computer.  It has 1 512MB card in it now but from what I can tell, its expandable to1GB via (2) 512MB cards.  As a last resort I can buy a new card for around $20 delivered to me, then postage overseas, but if it doesnt boot, into the trash it goes, therefore I'm hesitant to spend more than I have to.  I believe a PC2700 would work also, but just at the PC2100 rate, is that correct? Not interested in performance, just the increased ram since its running XP, 512mb, just isnt enough.  What would you all suggest the most economical way to achieve this one card would be?
    Thanks

    Make no mistake, T30s are VERY fine machines regardless of the memory slot problem...and that problem is fixable.
    There is nothing to be unsure about when it comes to RAM: any laptop-size PC2100/2700 (DDR266/333) 1GB stick will work, as will 2 of them if both slots are good. My last T30 (2366-97U) had 2GB of PC2700 RAM and a 7200rpm drive, and it flew in XP in all normal applications that were not video intensive.
    The only reason that IBM's site states that the maximum memory is 1GB is the fact that at the time of the announcement, 512MB was the largest DIMM available. This also holds true for A31/p, R40, G40/1...etc.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why does KT4V support Barton 2500+ and 2800+ but not 2600+?

    Does it have something to do with the multiplier?
    I want to exchange this 2500 for a 2600 but I don't know if it will work.  The 2500 has a 14 multi and the 2600 has a 15 multi.  My board doesn't allow me to select multi :(  So only can be done by selecting the right chip.
    Can anyone help me?  Thanks in advance.

    Nope. 3 desktop chips:

    2600+ T-Bred 2,086 MHz 333FSB @ 12.5x
    2600+T-Bred 2,133MHz 266FSB @ 16x
    If mobile 2500 & 2600 multis are 14 & 15 then that's not like Bartons at all - more like the 266 T-Bred 16x. Plus you say the 2600M rated FSB is 133(266) which is also T-Bred spec instead of Barton. I suppose your L2 cache is also like a T-Bred (256KB)? MSI does confirm that the T-Bred is supported so I don't really see the relevance to Bartons anyway. Maybe I'm being dumb.
    Oh, as to the missing 2600+ Barton in the MSI CPU support page, it seems there is a disagreement between MSI and AMD as to what the 2600+ Barton really is. MSI lists a 2600+ Thorton. AMD does not list a Thorton with this rating (here).

  • KT3 Ultra2 (MS-6380E) and Barton 2600+

    Hello,
    I have a MSI KT3 Ultra2 (MS-6380E).
    I recently changed my CPU from AMD Athlon XP 1600+ (Palonimo, FSB 266) to AMD Athlon XP 2600+ (Barton, FSB 333).
    I have the latest BIOS - v5.7.
    The new CPU (Barton) appers as 2500+ not 2600+.
    I read on MSI website that my mainboard supports CPUs up to 3000+ ...
    What should I do ?
    PS : The CPU is OK, I tried with another one; and YES - the FSB is set to 166.
    Thanks in advance,
    OJi.

    You know, we've seen this before with Barton XP2600+ on older KT333 and KT400 MSI boards.  Is anyone else using a Barton XP2600+ on an older MSI KT333 or KT400?
    I purchased some XP2600+ processors almost a year ago (30 units) that I had been told were the older Thoroughbreds, but 27 of them turned out to be XP2600+ Thortons (AXDC2600DKV3C).  Due to the enlongated core size and 256KB cache, they were indeed Thortons.  However, the markings on the processor made me suspicious as they had Thoroughbred revision/stepping codes.
    So I contacted AMD processor support, which initially told me the processors "looked ok" but that they couldn't be certain.  That didn't make me any more comfortable, so after a lengthy process I was finally able to get my case referred to AMD Security Group which investigates remarked processors.  It took them three months to get back with me, but I did receive a final determination:  AMD never made XP2600 based on Thorton, not even for grey market customers.  These were remarked processors.  There is a thread over on AMD forums about it.
    Upon learning of AMD's conclusion, my supplier took them back, explaining their "Asian" source had assured them they were grey market processors.  I also know they had a fairly large quantity, and around the same time, news of AMD remarking operation busts in Taiwan were making headlines.
    I'm wondering if MSI has confused the Barton XP2600+ for a Thorton?  It would seems so, as AMD claims it never produced an XP2600+ Thorton, for anyone.

  • KT4AV 2600+ problem.

    I just bought a few items for upgrade and it all seems to run, only trouble is i cant get my cpu upto full speed.
    Athlon XP 2600+ (barton)
    KT4AV-L  Mobo
    1Gb pc2100 ram (2x 256 Crucial Pc2100 + 512 Kingston Pc2100)
    Geforce fx 5600 Xt 256mb.
    450 Q PSU
    +3.3v : 30A
    +5v    : 25A
    +12v  : 15A
    The mobo sets the cpu to XP 2000+ (1.53ghz) but any attempts to go higher then 133 FSB just stops the PC booting and im forced to CMOS reset and start again.
    It just reboots and hangs at startup with blank screen, Diagnostics Led say memory check.
    I can only imagine the memory isnt happy with the fsb but i cant even get my 2600+ to run at 133 x 15 it still crashes.
    I kinda assumed PC2100 would run with a Barton if im wrong guess ill be happy at 1.5ghz til i can replace the ram.
    Any ideas are gratefully recieved.

    thanks for a reply guys  
    (Deleted last post Managed to get it working
    I spent the day doing some reading and random searching and got it sorted, just had to manaually set most of the auto stuff.  I think on auto it just gets confused and goes a bit Ape.
    Got a few facts from various places (forums + AMD website) but it was your help that got me started (thinking).
    Had to set the memory Bus to 266mhz.  (PC2100)
    Increase ram voltage to 2.7v
    CPU volts to 1.65v
    and clock FSB to 166mhz.
    multiplier auto  (Barton auto locked at 11.5)
    I know its not ideal conditions but aslong as it runs happy for a few months im chuffed.

  • Barton Heatsink, has anyone ever done this???

    I had gone through about three HSF units and still could not get my 2500+ barton to run under 55C when OC to xp 3000+ (200 x 10.5) I had three case fans tried HSF's with 5000 rpm fans etc artic silver etc, etc,........last heatsink i bought was a falcon rock II by spire,,, it has an 80mm fan on the HS, for grins today I added a second 80 mm fan on top of the other, each fan has a rating of around 30cfm I started running them simultaneously today and my temps have never gotten above, 47C under load???
    Hopefully I've had my case apart for the last time for a while now
    MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR
    athlon xp 2500+ OC to 3000+

    Back to two fans
    My machine was overheating at high loads so I took the side panel off and bolted a 3" 120 VAC  fan about 2" from the top of the heat sink fan (second fan blowing on the CPU fan). This was against the advice of my dealer who said the fan should blow air out  of the case but it dropped my working temp from 60 deg C to 38 deg C
    It was effective but it looked too crude so I bought a new side panel with a cheap plastic fan. The fan is a little offset from the heat sink and further away. I get 40C or 41C after 2 hours of Prime95 Torture Test.  This is with a stock heatsink and fan. I tried the bigger HS that comes with the 2600+ Bartons and it dropped my temp to 39C under full load. Didn't seem worth it so I put the stock 2500+ heat sink back on.
    One thing to note, the system worked best with a gap between the fans and my new Flower Power 2-fan power supply actually made things worse (1-2C hotter). I suspect that the downward air flow from the power supply disrupts the air stream from the case fan.

  • Barton or T-Bred?

    Hey, I managed to sell my Palomino for a descent amount.  Thank you all for your previous advice.  My MoBo and memory is listed in my signature.  My question now is which CPU has the most overclocking potential?  Someone posted that the 1700+ T-Bred B is the best to get right now for o/c and someone else said that the 2500+ Barton is the best bang for the buck right now...  If they both overclock to ~same speed, then I would get the cheaper 1700+.  If the Barton can only be pushed an extra 100Mhz, then again, I would go with the T-Bred B, but if it can go another 500MHz like i've read on hardocp, then I'd get the barton.  Please let me know.  Thank you for you advice! 8)

    You can change your voltage to 1.85v using the wire trick found here: http://www.ocinside.de/html/workshop/pinmod/amd_pinmod.html
    You could raise the voltage of your previous CPU to 1.85v in the BIOS because your palomino's default voltage was already 1.75v so your motherboard lets you over-voltage by 0.1v. Your new barton's default voltage is 1.65v so when you try to increase it in the BIOS, it once again only lets you add a maximum of 0.1v to the default setting, thus giving you 1.75v.
    mbrogz3000, the staticy sound that your soundcard makes is a good indication that the circuits on your motherboards may not be working properly. It sounds as though your motherboard may be grounded to your case somehow which it isn't suppose to be, or that you've spilt some water on your mobo which caused you to fry some circuits on your mobo. These are only 2 possibilities of what's wrong..., there could be another reason for this to happen. Check to see that your motherboard is raised about 0.5cm above the case where your motherboard is lying on. The bottom of your motherboard should not be physically touching your case at all.
    brad, the 2600+ bartons aren't even available to retailers yet, so that means that the general consumer cannot get their hands on it. Please note that there are 3 different kinds of 2600+ that AMD makes. The barton version aren't availble to the general public yet, but they will be soon.
    Read this article if you don't believe me: http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/display/20030531155656.html
    Hope you fix the problem mbrogz3000.  )

  • AMD 2600+ with KT3 Ultra help!

    Ok ijust bought a amd 2600+ barton and when i installed it it said it was a amd 1.5 so i updated the bios and now it says its a 2000+ but its a 2600+
    normaly this wouldnt be a problem because i could just change the multiplyer but its locked :(
    i was wondering if anyone can help me out here on how to get it up to its stock speed (1.9ish ghz)
    thx :D

    Wait a second, guys.  The previous answers are correct if you have a chip labeled AXDA2600DKV3D.  If your chip is labeled AXDA2600DKV3C you need to set a 133 MHz FSB with your multiplier at Auto.  AMD did make two different version of the 2600+.  One's FSB266, the other FSB333.
    Good luck and please let us know how it works.

    Your 2600 should be a 333mhz FSB.That means you can not set the FSB higher then 166mhz.I run a 3000+ on the same board and set FSB to 166X12.5 to get a 3000+  
    If your processor has a ... FSB then the system clock speed should be:
    66MHz (Various Celeron and older): 66MHz clock
    100MHz (Pentium II / Pentium III / K6): 100MHz clock
    133MHz (Pentium II / Pentium III / K6): 133MHz clock
    200MHz (Athlon, Duron, Thunderbird): 100MHz clock
    266MHz (Thunderbird, XP): 133MHz clock
    333MHz (XP): 166MHz clock
    400MHz (Pentium 4): 100MHz clock
    400MHz (AMD XP): 200MHz clock
    533MHz (Pentium 4): 133MHz clock
    800MHz (Pentium 4): 200MHz clock
    If you do not know the multiplier for your processor simply take the proper system clock speed for it and divide that into the rated processor speed and then round the dividend to the nearest .5. Examples: The Pentium4 3.06GHz processor has a FSB of 533MHz. Its system clock is 533 / 4 = ~133. The multiplier is 3,060 / 133 = ~23.
    The AMD Athlon XP2700+ has a main clock speed of 2.17GHz and a FSB of 333MHz. Its system clock is 333 / 2 = ~166MHz. The multiplier is 2,170 / 166 = ~13
    I tried to overclock above the 166 only to have to clear CMOS.If I had a 400FSB,then I could use the 200mhz clock.
    I also have to run my Kingston PC3200 at 333mhz or I will get BSOD after a few min.Seems since the FSB on the processor is 333mhz,it only makes sense to run the memory at the same speed to me.Although it will run at 400mhz with either of the single sticks of ram(and yes they are matched 512meg sticks)and I can not figure out why.I even tried to bump the voltage all the way to 2.75 only to get the same results.I now just run it a 333 and 2.6v and have not had 1 problem since.

Maybe you are looking for
