Kt6 delta (6590v2) FSB at 100mhz

Hello.
Having problems with ms 6590v2 = kt6 delta (kt600 chipset).
CPU is Athlon XP 2800+.
Two sticks of DDR400 512MB memory.
Radeon 9800Pro video card.
Maxtor 40GB harddrive.
LG 52x Cdrom.
400Watt PSU (Information on psu: 3.3V at 20A, 5v at 22A,12v at 12, 130Watt unified)
Bios is 5.7, latest from msi website.
Problem is:
The board starts ok using fsb=100. Thus, cpu runs at 1250Mhz (should run at around 2000Mhz).
Even then, when starting a windows xp setup cd, the computer powers down after a while
(when the windows cd finishes loading drivers and should ask for user input).
Leaving that problem aside, when trying to change FSB to 166, the computer shuts down and
cannot be started except after resetting the bios with a jumper.
It is written on the board that the SW jumper should be set to 1-2 for automatic fsb,
but there's no jumper it seems, only a 3-pin pad that looks like a square separated
from two circles. (it looks same as in the picture in the quick manual). "[]| O O"
Is there a need/way to short the SW1 pins 1-2 ? Will it risk the motherboard ?
What can be the source of the problem ?
Thank you for support.

I am surprised it will even start with that PSU.
This board needs 25-30A on 3.3V & 5V, and closer to 18A on the 12V.
3.3V & 5V combined max should also be 220W on any decent PSU.
A much better PSU is needed. Once that has been added, the system should be able to boot at 166FSB.

KT6 Delta LSR FSB problem solved!

Here's some FYI for anybody with boot up troubles. A friend made a suggestion that got me thinking the dividers might not be set quite right on my mobo so I decided to raise the FSB to 210 and it solved my booting problem. I've tested this out several times and it definately works. Instead of trying to run 11 X 200, I'm at 10.5 X 210 and scoring great:
Anyone having troubles might want to try this out. Good luck.

Hahahaha,
Sorry a bit dutch....stuff happens....all other software running

MSI KT6 Delta-FISR (MS-6590 v2.0) & XP3200+ Can't get 200MHz FSB

Hi,
Having searched for this common problem I have purchased a new PSU (Antec True Power 2 550w) so I don't think it is this. The memory is meant to be compatible according to the crucial site too.
Basically I changed from an ASRock mobo (no 4 pin CPU power connector) to the KT6 to get onboard firewire. The same CPU had been working in the ASRock mobo at 200Mhz FSB with a SilentMaxx PSU (fanless +3.3v /28A, +5v/35A, +12v/16A). As I had moved the computer from the lounge to study I changed the PSU when I installed the KT6 to an Antec True 380SP (+3.3v /28A, +5v/35A, +12v/24A) to get a reduction in temperature.
The system booted with a FSB of 100Mhz. So I changed in the BIOS FSB to 200Mhz and the system wouldn't get to the XP login page. I then tried steps up from 100Mhz and got to 120Mhz. After searching here I saw the PSU issue and so changed to the SilentMaxx. This would get past the login page at 200Mhz but would crash within 2 minutes.
I then changed to an Advance PSIV-500-2 (+3.3v /30A, +5v/32A, +12v/16A). This would login at 200MHz and was stable until you did anything CPU intensive - 2 mins of divx encoding caused the crash.
So now for the Antec True Power 2, it gets past the login screen but won't load the desktop. Starting at 100Mhz I can get to 125MHz, so I'm now worse than with the original Advance PSU.
So, with the changes being seen whenever the PSU is changed the indications are that it is the PSU, but now with the new Antec True Power 2 550w I can't believe it is still that.
Any ideas?

Hi again.
Well I've finally got around to doing the XP repair. The good news is that the system boots and stays up under normal usage at 200MHz. The bad news is that under stress (encoding video) it reboots with the following error:
Error code 0000000a, parameter1 ffe00124, parameter2 00000002, parameter3 00000001, parameter4 804db848.
I have searched the internet and can't find any mention of '804db848' or 'ffe00124'. So am now thinking the board may be bad?
I have set my memory to CL3, with timings of 3-3-8 and voltage of 2.6v (as per manufacturer recommendations) and this memory did not cause problems on my ASRock board.
Two things I have noticed:
1. The case temp is very high, under idle CPU = 48C and case = 41C, under stress CPU = 58C and case = 51C. I have two 120mm case fans and the PSU has a 120mm fan too. My hard disks are 28C and 29C. When I had the ASRock board in the same case with the same fans etc it never went above 36C (which I thought was still quite high).
2. After searching this board I found a post that stated they had success at 192MHz FSB but unstable on 200MHz (K7N board). I will now try this and kick off the video encoding again and report back.

KT6 Delta Series mobo - setup

I've got a new KT6 Delta Series motherboard which has the VIA Apollo KT600 chipset. I've also ordered an AMD2800+ processor with 1Gb RAM.
A few questions, if anyone can help me please:
1) I've got a new PSU which has a Fan Monitor connector on it - where does this plug onto the mobo? Is is the NBFAN1 or SFAN1 socket?
2) When I look at FSB settings in Core Centre, it is set to 100 MHz at the moment. I thought my processor was 333MHz (am I comparing the wrong figures here?). I've clicked Auto and as soon as it got to about 121MHz, the system re-booted - surely I should be able to get above this figure to make my processor faster?
3) I'm currently running at 63 degree C even at 100Mhz - is this normal?
Many thanks,
Si.

1. Plug it into SFAN1. The other is for the processor fan.
3. That's a little hot, but if you are using the stock heatsink and overclocking then that is actually pretty normal. AMD coolers aren't exactly well rounded for the chips they use them with. Check into a new Thermaltake cooler or Thermalright if you want to spend a little bit more. As always, Arctic Silver thermal compounds will help decrease heat.

KT6 Delta MS-6590 problem

Hello
I can't set the FSB speed to 166 on my AMD Barton 2500 as it should be after updating BIOS and mainboard drivers. It started like this:
Yesterday I decided to add 512MB RAM to the 1GB RAM I already had. I soon discovered, that I had to update my BIOS in order to make it work (I got the "Windows 2000 could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: ...ntoskrnl.exe" error during boot).
I updated the BIOS and now I could use 1,5GB RAM - cool....except the CPU FSB Clock speed was now down to 100Mhz. The multiplier (CPU Ratio) was 11, I discovered that by using an analysing program when using Windows. So basically I was running 1,1GHz instead of 1,8GHz as I did before.
I tried to adjust the CPU FSB Clock and the multiplier, but then I couldn't boot right.
Then I started to install the latest mainboard drivers, just to see if that helped, it didn't.
I need help to resolve this. There has to be a nasty bug in the latest BIOS driver and/or mainboard drivers. I need to run 1,8Ghz, but I cant.
My pc:
AMD Barton 2500 CPU
MSI KT6 Delta MS-6590 mainboard
3 times Kingston PC3200/400 DDR 512MB RAM
Sapphire Radeon 9600 graphics card
Regards
JCN

I still can't change CPU FSB Clock speed to 166Mhz, but can to 110Mhz though, didn't try to set CPU Ratio again, last time I had to set the jumper on the mainboard to make it work.
What I have done now is to manually tell BIOS what RAM I have, I set it to 400Mhz with latency 3, when it boots it shows 266Mhz though. My RAM modules are Kingston KVR400X64C3A/512.
My PSU is 350W (wasn't sure about the amps, so I didn't write those), and is in a AOpen H600 housing (ATX): http://www.aopen.nl/products/housing/H600series.htm
I haven't tried memtest86 yet, seems a bit too much trouble to need to burn a ISO cd to make the test. I have testet my RAM using CheckIt Diagnostics after I manually set the data, I can pass the test now, so RAM seems to be ok. Must be that darn BIOS software that messes things up.

KT6-DELTA sees Athlon 1.6mhz as 1.2mhz

I recently purchased an MSI KT6 DELTA to replace my old motherboard (I needed to support a 250gig HD) With it I purchased 512 mb of DDR 400 pc3200 RAM to get it going. All other components (processor, Heatsink, Fan) were from the old system and are compatible. I have listed specs at the bottom of this post.
The main problem is that when I check the system settings it recognises the processor as a 1.2ghz Athlon when it is actually an Athlon 1900+ 133mhz, 12.0x, 1.6ghz processsor.
After checking the BIOS setting, and checking out the readings on the corecenter application I found that the processor is running at 100mhz (not 133mhz as is needed).
**I have also noticed that when using explorer to navigate my way round files it exits the program randomly, on random files. The manual shows on the MEMORY SPEED/CPU CLOCK SPEED MATRIX diagram, DDR 400 memory is NOT compatible with a 100mhz CPU clock??**
I believe that when I get the processor up to speed and recognised as a 1.6ghz, everything will be fine and speed,memory issues will sort everything out.
I guess the main question is this "How do I get the system to recognise the 1.6ghz CPU?"
Steps taken so far:
-The following BIOS settings have been applied
--ADVANCED CHIPSET FEATURES>DRAM TIMING
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE is set to FAST.
CURRENT HOST CLOCK is set to 100mhz (will not allow any changes)
SDRAM FREQUENCY is set to AUTO (I could set it to 400mhz)
--FREQUENCY VOLTAGE CONTROL
CPU FSB CLOCK is set to 100mhz (Should be 133mhs). You cannot change this setting.
CPU RATIO is set to AUTO (should be x15)
I have cleared the CMOS once with no changes. It just boots up saying I am running a 1.2ghz Athlon Processor.
I have heard a rumour of a JP10 jumper that keeps MSI mothernboards in safe mode, not allowing the processor to go over 100mhz
Any help would be great (especially WONKA, as they helped me chose the board and knows what they're talking about)
Thanks

The board can't autodetect the front side bus it can only do that with the multiplier(cpu ratio) the current host clock you see in the DRAM Configuration is what it's set at not what it's being auto-detected as. No board can auto-detect the front side bus as far as I'm aware.
Your system specs list the bios version incorrectly that what the AMI code version is 3.31 the bios version number should be 5.0-5.7 .
There aren't any cpu or memory config jumpers on this board so we can put that to rest no rumour that's for Nforce2 boards. We can also put to rest another the KT6 Delta supports the 1900+ both versions(Palamino&Tbred) a FSB of 133Mhz and the multiplier at auto.
One thing that has seemed to slip by on this thread is the power supply give us the dirt on it give us the amps on the +12v +3.3v and the +5v plus the total combined wattage and also the brand name and model name. Make sure that the square 4pin connector is plugged into the socket on the board.
Last thing to do is reseat the processor take of the heatsink+fan unit if the cpu came in a retail blister packaging the HSF will have a thermal pad so no real reason the clean any paste off. Take the cpu off clean any debris if any found then carefully make the cpu is making good contact it's fully seated and all of that jazz.

KT6 Delta-LSR lock ups

Hi again , i was having trouble with my KT6 Delta-LSR not reading the correct cpu speed . ie it read 1.1 when it was a barton 3200 , I was advised to turn fsb up to 200 , which i did and it displayed the correct cpu, but i am getting lots of lock ups now, if i put back down to 166 its very stable , but now i cant get pc to boot after last lock up , it just freezes after american megatrends screen .

You don't mention the Brand of your ram. You stated that' it's Cas 2.
I purchased some generic ram that was Cas 2, but I couldn't push my FSB above 100. When I upgraded to some Kingston (see below) I could easily push it to 166.
Good luck!!!

KT6 Delta stability and performance problems

Hi all!
My brother and I recently assembled my new computer. Since then I’ve been experiencing two problems that really bug me. I’m no expert at this stuff so if you guys need more info from me to try to help, just say so!
Problem 1:
The optimum setting for my processor is a CPU FSB Clock of 166 Mhz, but I’m only able to reach 160 Mhz. 161-163 will work but is extremely unstable. 164-166 will cause Windows to dump to a blue screen and reboot.
I’ve seen that other people on this board have had similar problems. Note that I’ve set CPU Ratio to Auto and SDRAM Timing to SPD. What could be causing the problem? Could a simple BIOS update help (I’m running the one that was delivered with the motherboard)? How about clearing CMOS?
Problem 2:
Maybe due to the above problem, I’m also having stability problems when I do get into Windows. On some days it’s fine, other days it’s a mess.
All of a sudden, while surfing the net or gaming, the computer will dump to a blue screen with the info that Windows has been shut down to prevent further damage to the system. One of two error messages will be displayed:
“A thread tried to release a resource it did not own” (more common message) or “IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL” (less common).
The computer will then reboot automatically. It’s really hard to specify when this happens: it could come at any time.
The system I have is the following:
KT6 Delta (MS-6590) motherboard
AMD Athlon XP2500+ (1.833 Ghz)
TwinMOS PC3200 DDR-DIMM (2x256Mb)
Seagate Barracuda 80Gb S-ATA
My old IDE 12 Gb harddrive
PowerColor Radeon 9800 Pro 128Mb
TDK CD-RW (40x/10x/40x)
Windows XP Professional with Sp1
Have any of you had similar problems? I appreciate any help I can get!!!
Regards,
Stefan

judd321: couldn't agree more! Thanx to all the people who post here and try to help out computer illiterate people like myself. Interesting to see that you've had the same problem.
Thought I'd give you an update on my situation. I've done some surfing and gotten some mixed messages. Some say that the included PSU that came with my Chenbro Gaming Bomb (FSP Group 350W, delivers 28A at +3,3V, 30A at +5v and 16A at 12V) is plenty to power a system with my specs. Others, like the good people on this board, claim that 350W just won't cut it.
I've just invested in an Aspire 520W (looks creepy and mod-ish). The dealer claimed that it really does deliver 520W at maximum performance and not just at peak. Before I install it I will try the following just to make sure it's the PSU that's causing me problems:
1) Confirm that I still cannot boot up with CPU Clock at 166Mhz. If all is still the same, Windows won't even start. If I, by the grace of the good Lord, do get my system running at 166, I'll monitor unwanted reboots. If system is stable, fine. If no:
2) I'll start by clearing CMOS, with battery and power cord out for at least 10 minutes. Then enter BIOS and run default settings EXCEPT CPU Clock which I'll set to 166Mhz. I'll try to reboot computer to see if this has done the trick. If yes, great. If no, I'll try the same thing but also set memory speed to 333. If that still doesn't work:
3) Clear CMOS with power cord disconnected. Unplug unneccesary components like CD-ROM, fan (not heatsink , floppy drive, any USB devices and my old IDE hard drive. Reboot the computer and set CPU Clock at 166. If the system works, it was definitely the PSU since the absence of the disconnected components will have allocated more power to the connected components. If it doesn't work...does anybody want to buy a pretty decent system that doesn't allow for full processor power and experiences frequent, unwanted reboots?
I'll let you know how things work out!

KT6 Delta - Random freezes and LAN Issues

Just built a new PC, installed Win XP, installed all the drivers etc.
I get random freezes - as in the machine will just stop responding totally. I could run for an hour before a freeze, other times its frozen before I've even logged in.
Also the LAN keeps dropping out too. The timing of this is also random, just to make things interesting. I could be downloading a 20MB file, get only 2MB into it, then it just sits there. The only way to get the LAN back up and running is to reboot. Once I've rebooted, its a case of just waiting for it to fail again
The specs are as follows:
KT6 Delta-FIS2R (Gigabit LAN etc.)
AMD 2800XP+
1GB Crucial (2 x 512)
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro
80 Maxtor HD
400W PSU
I've got the FSB set to 166 and also set the memory up correctly (333 and 2.5 cl) but to no avail.
I was running with a Soundblaster Audigy card, but took that out and still got the same. I even tried taking out one of the memory modules.
I don't think its a temperature issue as the CPU is currently running at about 47 Degrees and I've got the side off-of the case.
Please - anyone got any ideas???

I have a KT6 Delta LSR and am having probs with the onboard Broadcom 4401 as well.
After Initial boot of machine I have 2-5 minutes to surf the net or whatever. At that time I lose connection. Also if I linger on one page long enough to read, I lose connection. Or shutdown a net connected program, it loses connection.
When I play Tribes - the connection stays till I leave the server - then I have to reboot.
This is driving me nuts. I have disabled the Lan in bios and installed a Netgear 10/100. XP recognizes it but cannot get rid of "Cable not plugged in" message. So I reinstalled the 4401.
I have RR and am behind a Phoebe 4 port router. None of the other computers have a problem with the router, and I have tried changing plug in ports around among the computers.
I have the same version of driver for it as the latest at MSI. Flashed the latest bios lately as well, in desperation.
Any ideas? I sure would appreciate it.

Hello!
Pull out the main power cable
Clear CMOS by moving the JBAT jumper or removing the battery for a minute or two.
When booting again, enter BIOS by pressing Del button.
Set FSB to 166, and set the correct time. Don't do anything else. Save&Exit.
If the problem remains, you have to remove the HSF/cooler and the processor. Clean both with pure alcohol and nail polish remover (garnish?), so no old grease is still there. Add new thermal grease, by putting a small drop on the very chip, of the processor. Before putting them back, look carefully on the thing in which the processor is placed, so you don't put the HSF/cooler on back-wards.
Good luck! Please come back if you wonder about above, or if problem remains.

KT6 Delta - Core Centre seems to have broken it!

My spec is as follows
KT6 Delta motherboard
AMD Athlon XP2600+
Crucial DDR400 3200 512MB Ram
160GB SATA hard drive
Radeon 9700PRO
Windows XP Home
The machine has been running absolutely fine for months until I foolishly decided to press the auto button in core centre for optimising clocks etc.
This resulted in the machine crashing followed by booting failure just after the Windows splash screen comes up.
The machine will boot with another IDE disk - but after installation of XP the mouse fails to operate???
As soon as the SATA disk is reconnected and configured as a non boot device, the same boot failure happens again.
I have also tried resetting the CMOS to no effect.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

I had that problem due to my 9800PRO.Dont know why,but a fresh format needs to be done all underclocked and with a old cheap video card installed.After you load winxp and get everything working,load VIA drivers then put the ATI card in,load its drivers and you should be good to go.I did this on 2 machines so far with no problems.Don't know what it is about ATI and a fresh install,but it makes windows xp do weird stuff.I also found that setting the FSB and uping the ram to the correct MHZ also causes winxp problems when doing the install.That is why I leave it "ALL" underclocked until I get it loaded(win xp)then the VIA drivers next before installing the ATI card and it's drivers.
You also said the mouse fails to operate.When I do a fresh install,I have to use the ps2 mouse adapter instead of the USB or the mouse will fail.
I dont know if anything I said will help you or not,but I had spent hours and hours trying to figure out how to load up everything with my combo the correct way.FWIW,I had always had a problem with getting my ram to 400mhz setting with my combo.Tried BIOS flash,reformat,fresh install's of all drivers ect......After using the following procedure above,I could change the ram to the 400mhz where it needed to be and it was all because of an improper loading procedure that I could not find posted anywheres.
Good Luck

Problem with KT6 Delta-LSR

Hello
I bought MSI KT6 Delta-lsr today and haven't had it work yet.
Usually when I turn on the power only fans start to run and i get memory or processor error from d-bracket leds. Memory chips and processor should be ok since sometimes If I clear cmos and start pc, it seems to start fine and all leds are green but system will hang in winxp loading screen. Changing options in bios doesn't seem to do any good, usually boot after editing bios will cause again memory or processor error.
Any idea what is causing this problem?
Specs.
Amd TB 1ghz -> too old for this mobo?
256mb seitec ddr 333 (also tested Twinmos memory chips)
Msi kt6 delta-lsr
Msi gf4 ti 4200
harddrives, cd, cd-rw, the usual stuff...

Thank you for moving this topic to right forum.
I was wondering if those memory chips just doesn't work with my processor.
Could someone explain me this fsb and ddr speed stuff? Not sure if my tb runs
with fsb 100 or fsb 133. Or does those setting even matter for ddr rams?
Manual says that if I have cpu speed 100 and 333 ddr it's not supported but 133 and 333 should work. Still pc sometimes seem to start up but freezes soon. So to me it seems memory and proccessor works.

KT6-delta+ t'bred xp2400

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone can tell me the correct multiplier/frequency settings for the athlon xp2400 on a kt6-delta?
At the moment it's set to 11.5x166 giving me 1.92Ghz (vcore=1.6). If I try upping the fsb I get bsods and reboots above 170.
Not really looking to overclock right now but just want to get the correct settings.
Thanks in advance

Sorry folks - I'm a complete numpty!!!
I had an xp1700 in the machine!! I tried the settings listed by msi and it posted as a 1700, sure enough I had a look and my old xp1700 was sitting in there running at nearly 2Ghz on stock cooling!!
The cpus got mixed up when I first got the board - thought I was frying cpus and ended up with 3 different athlons -all of which seem to work!
Thanks for the help anyway.

KT6 Delta Crashes at 166

I am having a problem with my system, it crashes right away when I play halo or call of duty. I go into the bios and change the cpu ration to 133 and then the games will work just fine. Anyone know why I can't run at full speed?
by the way,
here are specs

If anyone can help I would be very appreciative!

Well, gaming is the most noticable effect, because I don't format and re-install windows every day. If I try to install windows with the FSB at 166mhz, I'll get errors on the exact same files, every time. The file will fail to copy, and I can retry the copy, skip or cancel the install. If I retry enough times, the file will eventually copy, however, when I make it into windows, the files that failed to copy, will have no digital signature.. which causes massive hassles when trying to install XP updates and directX. The files fail on multiple XP CDs, and with a different CDRom aswell.
I have tried the newest drivers for two cards (GeForce4 Ti4200 & Radeon 9600XT), as well as the drivers supplied on the CDs they came with. I have tried the sound card drivers on the MSI drivers disk, aswell as updating them via Live Update. I've tried the newest version of Via's 4in1's (4.51) aswell as another (can't remember the version right now). Dxdiag returns no errors for either card, and the cooling for both cards is nothing short of excessive.
I've just noticed (must be going blind) that you have a Samsung combo drive richardps2. I have one also, though I couldn't see it being the problem (wish it were that easy), as I've tried a different CDRom, but only when trying to install XP.

PCI/AGP divider for KT6 Delta

hi,
i want to ask at which FSB does the divider for the KT6 Delta motherboard kicks in?
I'm trying to overclock an AMD XP 2400+ without unlocking the multiplier.
Thanks

thanks, i had just tried out the pin-mod guide which allows me to choose other multipliers...now my system is clocked at 2255mhz with 13.5x and 166mhz.
however, i think my maxtor Sata drive didn't like the increased speed. I was greeted with some disk errors but i was able to start winxp normally, run programs as usual. Any help in this?

Kt6 delta (6590v2) FSB at 100mhz
