KT6-Delta-FIS2R and Hercules 3D Prophet FDX 8500 LE

Just got this board and tested it a little. It works fine, but I have a one problem with picture on the monitor. It has horizontal lines that jumps left and right.
Tested it only motherboard, cpu, memory and power attached. And finally found that if you increace the AGP voltage to 1.6 V, it goes even worse.
Display adapter: Hercules 3D Prophet FDX 8500 LE.
Memory: Kingston 512 MB DDR400.
CPU: AMD XP 2500+

I updated BIOS after I have tried everything else. I also tried clearing and not clearing cmos after that. No matter which way you make it, result is the same. In next boot after updating the BIOS, I don´t get that screen flickering. But it says that bios settings are invalid press F1 to go to bios or F2 to load defaults and continue. If I go to setup and change or don't change setting and quit saving them. Next boot it's flickering again. If I press F2 and continue, it works fine until next boot.
I borrowed that nVidia card from my friend to test that my own Radeon 8500LE is working properly. And windows drivers have nothing to do with this, because it's flickering from the beginning of the system boot.
Hope this cleared some things... ;-)
Oh yeah, one more really really strange thing. I put in my ATI RADEON 8500LE and loaded it to Windows (2000). Off course it flickered very much. But in Windows when I move my mouse fast horizontally it almost stops flickering. And when I stop that, flickering is back.
I really don´t know what is happening?!?? =)
Is there anyone who could test KT6 Delta and Hercules Radeon 8500LE together?

KT6 Delta Fis2r and s-ata woes

Hello.
My current setup is a follows.
kt6 delta
xp3200+
1 gig ram
1 250gig quantum sata drive
nvidia agp gfx card
adaptec 2940 pci card
I boot xp off this sata drive, hanging on the via controller, and everything has been working just fine.
I then enable the onboard promise controller in bios, set it to raid mode (or else I can't find a single working driver) and attach a drive. I configure it in promise's bios, and boot xp to format and give it a drive letter.
Everything is working fine for a few minutes, then I lose ethernet. At first I thought my inet connection was down, but I had two other computers accessing it so it wasn't it. After a few retries the same thing happened again and again, I even got a bluescreen (irql_not_equal). The adaptec 2940 and the promise controller was sharing irq (19), and I found no way of overriding it.
Anyone with a reasonable solution or suggestion ?

try playing swap the pci slot with it

KT6 Delta FIS2R and Promise controller

I have the FIS2R board and want to know how I use the 3rd IDE port. Here is what I have done so far:
1. Enabled it in bios
2. Put a drive on as master
3. Installed the drivers in XP
Thats as far as I get. In the device manager the device has a yellow "!" on it and says "This device cannot start. (Code 10)".
What am I doing wrong?
I used the drivers off the CD and they installed just fine.
TIA.

there is no reason at all to be rude
you cannot install raid drivers with xp to a boot drive from a cd
you have to hit f6 during the xp install and load them from the floppy
i assume you would also have to put the controller second to cdrom in boot order
or else it would not know what to boot to
but its unlike any regular promise one as i dont think control plus f brings up a raid bios or does it
if it does you also need to define the array
you can ignore most of this as reading again i assume xp is on the other drives

Kt6 Delta Fis2r and Gigabit LAN

OK. Been reading a bit on the forum and a few people seem to have problem with the onboard Broadcom Gigabit LAN... just like me. Many post.. no solutions..
OK.. (again) ... Here goes:
The broadcom gigabit lan works fine when I am just websurfing, like I am doing now. Or checking my mail, running messenger etc etc etc. The problem occurs when I try to transfer greater amounts of data. Transferring any file-size greater then 5-10 Mb from my KT6Delta-machine to my other computer makes the broadcom just die on me.
It is as if the chip just stops working... and it is not the nic in my other computer that doesnt work.. believe me... been using that for ages.
The very same happens when I start up a file-sharing application or a few bit-torrent clients.. It works for a while and then without any warning what so ever the connection just disappears....
I've done the following:
Tried both MSI's drivers and Broadcoms latest and greatest..
Tried switching to half-duplex.. downgrading the broadcom to work at just 100Mbit...
Downgrading to 10 Mbit... Just the same with every try...
Anyone with the same problems? Anyone with a solution?
EDIT: And the board isnt overclocked, over/undervolted or any such thing

Solved my problems
Just transfered a 700Mb file to and from my other computer without any problems.
I am so Happy

MSI KT6 DELTA-FIS2R Bundled stuff

Hi!
I Bougth a MSI KT6 DELTA-FIS2R, and expected some more bundled stuff. Does anyone know whats supposed to be bundled? I need to know if my supplier is ripping me off.
I'm missing the D and S bracket, and some cables( only got 2 sata cables and 2 ide cables, but that doesnt matter much as I got all the cables I need).
Trond

Hi Trond look at the side of your outer box find the white sticker it will list what accessories you should be getting. If you need the brackets you need to yell at MSI well not really you need to contact them by e-mail I wouldn't try phoning them you'll never get through. What MSI doesn't tell you up front is that even though the motherboard is a top of the line expensive sob the accessories are still optional so what you could get is a bundle worthy of the SR or LSR bone stock model. What you should get are the RED rounded cable(s), the SATA cables the power adapters are optional so I hope you can get ahold of some or have a drive with a legacy power plug. My box contained two manuals one for sata one for the board, two floppies, the standard issue MSI driver cd, I/O bracket, cheapo black rounded cable, and the firewire bracket nothin' else when I first opened the box I was looking all over at all the nooks, and cranies for the other stuff, but alas it wasn't there. So long story short to determin what you get you have to look at that white sticker.

KT6 Delta-FIS2R Question

I was thinking of purchasing the KT6 Delta-FIS2R and wanted to know if the thermaltake silent boost heatsink/fan would fit on the motherboard.
I am asking because i noticed that the mobo has a nortbridge cooling fan and I am not sure if my HHUUUGGGEE silent boost will have enough room?

the only way I can buy the board is over the internet so that is not an option. Anyone know if the thermaltake silent boost will fit on the KT6 Delta-FIS2R??

KT6 Delta-FIS2R won't go into Stand By mode

Hi, any advise on this would be appreciated.
I just installed my second KT6 Delta-FIS2R. First one returned due to “cold boot” problem.
This new one is almost unstoppable. When I connect the external power the system boots up without me hitting the power button. It did so from the very first time I connected power.
When I choose “Turn off computer / Stand By” the system slows down, disks, fans seems to stop, but only for a second. It then starts up again. Changing the ACPI mode in BIOS does not change anything. Anyway, the BIOS settings were default the very time it started up.
When I choose “Turn of computer / Turn Off” the system stops as it should. I can the press the power button and the system start normally.
I added a Maxtor +9 ATA133 at same time as I changed the board. Only change performed.
KT6 Delta-FIS2R
Athlon Barton XP 2600+
Kingston DDR2700, 512MB
Power: Seasonic SS-300FT

Eiii, things are working now. I did some fiddeling in the Bios - Power Management feature.
I just wonder why the BIOS defaults works this way now. Different than the "old" board.

KT6 Delta FIS2R Why Oh Why?

I am confused. The KT6 Delta FIS2R mobo just won ANOTHER award and MSI is pulling it out of the market. Does this make any kind of sense?
I just bought a second one to build another system, and am looking forward to it. The one I have now is great. It took alot of hunting to find it as these boards are rarer than hens teeth. I must have gotten the last one, cause the site I bought it from doesn't have it anymore. And when I did get it, it is missing the D-Led. The motherboard is still sealed in it's original package, but no D-LED......
Yes, I know about the LSR and about the KT6v, but they didn't win any awards, now did they???
Sorry, I am just pissey when my world changes the way I don't want it too....LOL

Oh, Foxmulder, check the ATI site for updated drivers, that might help you...
Yes Mom, have sense ... the mobo is a bad product , and the awards... well..... I don't want to talk about that (cause I have no manners )
about the drivers.. read my specs, that's why i want back to my old and lovely K7N2 delta
Bas if you like this crap (ooops! I did it again ) i sell mine!
Sorry by my manners guys
and i'm not the only one having troubles with this mobo just search on the forum

Changed from K7N to KT6 Delta-FIS2R

Well, it took some time, but I finally got a motherboard in exange from my K7N2-Delta ILSR. I picked KT6-Delta FIS2R. Since I received that board, I had a few annoying problems. First, The CPU temp was around 60C in windows! Then, when I formatted the hard drive to install XP again, it crashed and would not even restart. I reseted the BIOS and I had a message telling me the CMOS was damaged or corrupted !?! Did anybody had the same problems with this board? Is it just defective and need to be returned ?
Here are my specs:
CPU: AMD XP 3000+
MOBO: MSI KT6 Delta FIS2R
Video: MSI GF FX 5900 TD128 :D
Sound: Onboard sound
Memory: Crucial, 2X512K (Non dual channel)
Operating sys: Windows XP Home
(By the way, is it possible to see the CPU frequency in the AMI Bios? I can only find FSB frequency?)
Thanks for the help,
Valkyr

Which headsink? Mounted properly and in correct direction?

I reseted the BIOS
You've done it exactly as described in the documentation (Power off - jumper to 'clear' position - jumper back to normal position - power on)?

Power Up probs with kt6 delta fis2r

I've recently changed my mother board and given my kt6 delta fis2r to my dad. It came out of my comp in fine working condition (earthed when removing etc.) It's now in my dad's case and when it's switched on it immidiatly switches off again. The bios was updated to 5.5 but was working for weeks before being moved. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advanced.

Just spoken to him, he's had the board out on the box connected it accross and it does the same, it's not actually getting far enough to give anything on the d-bracket. I've got a spare power supply here that isn't a Q-Tec and we're gonna try it on that first. My bro has also had probs this weekend so I'm told, he had a KT6V with the same power supply, and is now running my dads kt4 ultra. My bros PSU isn't liking my dad's comp either, so I'm now wondering if it's something to do with the 4 pin power plug on both PSU's? Still confused tho as I havn't had any probs with the board while it was on my Q-tec PSU, just lucky I guess?
Thanks for all of the replies, I'll be changing my PSU asap.

My second KT6 Delta FIS2R, problems again..

I had FIS2R with couple of problems: I didn't start after pressing power on -button. All diagnostic leds were red (processor damaged). After pressing reset computer booted up nicely. This problem was from beginning, later (after half year(?) usage) came stability-problems. System became very unstable. Even when all memory and cpu-speeds were as low as possible, there were problems: Windows hanging, prime gave error etc.
So I got RMA-code and returned it. Board I got back was same model, same revision. It just worked fine, no problems at all. But now there is also that "won't start" -problem sometimes (with diagnostic leds turned red). I tried to run prime95 torture test after first time computer didn't start without preset and it was running errorfree. Now after about month later, prime95 ran only 1h 52min.
Anybody else having same problems?
Is there many revisions of that board, perhaps newer?
System:
KT6 Delta FIS2R
XP 2500+
512Mb M-TEC 400MHz
Club 3D Radeon 8500
360W PSU
Samsung SATA-Drive

I don't think there is a problem with hard disks, same problem was with Seagate only and with Samsung only. Now with this new board, these hangings on startup happens so randomly, that I'm willing to believe that my PSU can't give enough power.
Those stability issues were probably caused overheated NorthBridge. It was too hot to touch. I changed bigger fan to CPU -heatsink and now it also blows to NB and it's much cooler. Prime95 has been running 12 hours no with no errors. Gotta see and hope it runs errorfree for next 12 hours too.
Maybe I was just scared because last FIS2R became so unstable that even if I put all setting as (s)low as possible, it wouldn't work.
Windows is just fine, I made fresh install couple of week ago and I don't have net at home so it should be quite clean..
Thank's to all of you, at least I know now to try replace PSU if there is problems..

SUPER TROUBLES!!!!! - KT6 Delta FIS2R

Greetings,
Man am I pissed!!! The saga starts here…….
I decided to upgrade one of my servers, looking on MSI’s page, I see this new KT6 Delta – FISR2 and yea I fell in love, just had to have it…..
I placed my order with an online retailer for basically a complete package. (Details below).
MB: KT6 Delta – FIS2R
CPU: AMD XP 2500+ (1.86 GHz / 512 KB L2 Cache / 333 MHz FSB)
Ram: Kingston 512 MB 333MHz DDR PC2700 DIMM CL 2.5 (KVR333X64C25/512)
Drives: (2) Seagate Barracuda 120GB Serial ATA 7200RPM 8MB Buffer
I paid for FedEx 2 day air, which should have arrived on Thursday. Good thing I checked FedEx Online Tracking Thursday evening since no package showed up. Telephoned FedEx, and the lady read me the “details” on the tracking number posted by the driver from earlier in the day. The driver stated, “He couldn’t find the house number, only Dr. Offices”. Off to the FedEx station I go to pick up my package of new parts, and to chew the ass of the station manager…..
Friday I didn’t have a chance to fiddle with anything, so I put that off until today (Saturday).
Yippie it’s now Saturday morning, I can play with my new hardware! (Hell I even got up early for this)… ;P
I took down my file server, and proceed to remove the MB and the remaining guts so I can install these new parts. Upon opening the KT6 Delta FIS2R box, I noticed there aren’t any Serial ATA power connectors for the drives, so off to the local computer store I go. (The MB did come with two SATA drive cables).
Now back home, I can really get a start on this new box. Installed the MB, CPU / Fan, and Ram….but wait….my AGP video card won’t fit in the AGP socket… They changed the damn socket… Oh well, off to the local computer parts store again for a new video card. I snagged the PNY Technologies Verto GeForce FX 5200 AGP – 128 MB DDR, now heading back to the house…..
Once home, I slam in the new GeForce, and continue to hook up everything else (case led’s, speaker, etc….you know the drill, usual case crap). Whew assembly is complete; I can now power this new hog up!!!!
Flipped the power switch, you could hear the “whirl” of all the fans I have installed, boy am excited!!!! Ummm wait a minute…. Nothing, nodda, zero, zilch, nothing…. Monitor is blank; drives are not turning (usual chit / chat clatter). Houston we have a problem!
Ok maybe I did make a mistake in hooking up this new contraption, but I seriously doubt it. Now before some start to flame, just let me clarify that I have been building machines for 14 years now. I double, triple, and quadrupled checked everything, and still the damn box won’t even give the slightest hint of booting. So I figured I’d look around on the MSI forums for some hints etc. Maybe someone else has had this problem before.
Upon searching I find that most people think it’s a power supply problem when one of these new fangled boards won’t even flicker. Ok just to eliminate that, off the local parts store for a new power supply. I picked up a KWI KingWin 450 Watt jobby-do with 3 fans built in. I wanted an “Antec” but they didn’t stock them…. Oh well….
Back home again now for the 3rd time, I install this new power supply, with all of my fingers crossed, praying this is the problem…. Muddled a little something under my breath, and pushed the power button…….. Same thing, nodda, zilch, zero…..
Ok now something I received must be DOA. First let’s rule out the CPU and RAM. I removed the AMD XP 1700+ and 512 MB PC2100 ram from my workstation machine, and installed them into this new KT6 Delta FIS2R, just to see if it’s any of those two parts. Remember I just want to see if this new setup will just get to the bios.
Smashed the power button and nothing….. I’m getting more pissed with each and every moment now, as you can probably tell. Ok it’s probably not the CPU & Ram, so let’s put them back in my workstation. Ok done, now fire up the workstation….. Nothing!!!
This workstation has a MSI KT7266 Pro2 MB in it, so I figured I’d check the D-Bracket on the back panel….. Four Red LED’s, (processor is not installed properly or DAMAGED). Well crap I know it’s installed properly, so I’m guessing the new KT6 Delta FISR2 MB smoked that CPU when I swapped them out. So now my workstation is down also….. Can you just imaging how pissed I am now?????
Reinstalled the new AMD XP 2500+ CPU and Kingston Memory back into this new piece of crap KT6 Delta FIS2R, powered her up and looked at the D-Bracket LED’s. Now everything is dead!!! Nothing….Even the damn fans won’t even power up, I mean nothing is powered up anymore. Ok let’s try this, to see if the new XP 2500 CPU and RAM is ok.... I installed the XP2500+ and 512 ram into my Workstation to read the D-Bracket LED’s. It shows the same as above (processor not installed properly or damaged).
So now I have to purchase a new processor for my workstation machine, in order to get that back up and running. Then on Monday, I have to contact this online retailer I purchased all this stuff from, to see if they will swap out the MB, CPU, and Ram.
Man I’m pissed!!!! Maybe this is a fluke, DOA board???? I seriously hope MSI’s quality isn’t going down the beaten path….
All for now…..
Jeff

Hi Guys,
Thanks again for lending a helping hand once again...
ASSAF:
Yea I tried that also, still nothing….. CPU+Cooler+RAM+VGA I even went down as far as only the CPU+Cooler+Ram, while watching the D-Bracket to see if there was any instance of life in this thing……Nodda…
BAS:
Yes I made sure the Cooler was installed correctly, and yes re-greased when it was installed. I also unplugged & re-plugged in the power connectors, thinking that “might” do it….. Still nothing… Even tried two other Power Supplies….. Nodda….
Tomorrow (Monday) the retailer and I will have a little telephone chat, in order to get my RMA number. I’m hoping this isn’t going to be a problem in swapping out the components, but until I see some action, I’m not going to hold my breath. As for now, I’m guessing this is going to be a hassle…. Time will tell!
Thanks Again,
Jeff

Also, I keep getting memory dumps, I realize I probably need to change the memory, but was wondering if it could be something else
Thanks
I really like this board, now if I could just get it situated correctly.

Yeah i got the EXACT same problem..
LAN drops out if i either A) Copy files from my fileserver. or B) Use a program til Bittorrent to download something.
It does NOT drop me if i use the standard EI download.. at least it hasnt done so yet. this is just wierd imo.
Any help , fix for this would be great as i have to reboot like once every hr..

MSI KT6 DELTA FIS2R problems

Well, I finally received my new KT6 DELTA FIS2R motherboard (I replaced my K7N2 Delta ILSR). After getting the wrong model and one with missing parts... I think I received a defective one! I tried to format and make a new installation of Win Xp. While it tried to make its first boot, the thing crashed and it would not reboot. I tried resetting the BIOS and then i got the message: CMOS corrupted or damaged. (The diagnostic led indicated the same thing). I experienced another problem, while I was using my computer, the CPU was running at 60C, in windows! (before reinstalling). Does anybody has the same problems with their KT6 boards... Does it need to be returned?
Thanks for the help,
Valkyr

From your post its not totally clear where you are at. Does the system still POST?
First of all, it is normal to get some kind of error message the first time after clearing cmos. Entering bios or hitting the key for "load defaults" will make that go away. If you do that and errors still happen in bios then you have more serious problems.
As far as the temp goes, redo the cpu installation making sure you totally remove all the old thermal pad/compound and use proper amount of new stuff.

Msi Kt6 Delta Fis2r

I have question about MSI KT6 DELTA Fis2r. Why in CoreCenter I don't have System Temp??? In CoreCenter I can see sys temp, but it's NB temp , and in the place of NB Temp is blank.

Hello!
I had the same kind of readings. System temps and NB temps are pretty much the same thing and I don't think there is one sensor for the NB and one for the system as a whole.
If I'm right, it is probably an installation/software problem. Have you tried reinstalling CoreCenter? Do you have any other monitoring program installed?
Found I do not trust CoreCenter and got rid of it. Can do what I need in BIOS.
