KT6 Delta MS-6590

Hello
Is there anybody here with this board and is running 3200cpu(400Mhz)
thx
mick

Have you upgraded?! Looks real smart!
As this isn't an overclock forum, I'll just say
at least BIOS 5.5,
FSB200,
DDR AUTO,
AGP AUTO,
all USB devices enabled,
a thrillingly good PSU as some say you have ,
VIA 4in1 drivers installed while in SafeMode,
no SoundBlaster - isn't necessary and mess things up usually,
CDRW(?) as Master on secondary IDE(slot 2), system disk as Master on primary IDE(slot1),
a well read manual,
and no MSI utilities installed.
I'd also suggest a big case or a door fan to keep things cool.
I'll even stretch to say I found it more efficient with High performance defaults in BIOS.

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

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.

[VIA] KT6 Delta (MS-6590) with GeForce FX won't boot

Hi, I have an MSI KT6 Delta motherboard and a XP2000 processor, I've been using this with an ATI 9600 All in Wonder graphics card for about a year. I've just bought an Inno3D Tornado GeForce FX 256Mb graphics card. I uninstalled all ATI software with their uninstall utility, shutdown, swapped graphics cards and rebooted. The system did not boot - no beeps (I usually get 1 beep). Looking at my PSU I found it was a 300W PSU and the specs for the GeForce stated it required a 350W PSU. So, I bought a Q-Tec 550W PSU and installed it and tried booting, same result, no beeps, no VGA signal, I can here the fans working but nothing else happens. The D-Bracket on the rear of the PC has all four LED's on in Red. This means there's a problem with the CPU, but if I take the GeForce card out and replace the ATI card, system boots fine (although poor graphics as there are no drivers) I am using 3 memory sticks - 2 bought at the same time and 1 I added later - all 3 have been working fine with the ATI. They are 2 X 256Mb and 1 X 512Mb not sure of the makes and I see from the other posts I should see if the GeForce will work with just one memorey module in place, I'll try that later. When I checked the BIOS with the ATI installed I noticed under AGP settings it only allowed me to select 1X 2X 4X - I don't see Auto as an option as it says I should in the manual. I had all the AGP settings set to disabled with the ATI card i.e. AGP Master 1 W/S Read and Write and AGP Synchronization all disabled - so I tried enabling them, no change. Made sure primary display is set to VGA/EGA. The card has multi monitor support and I've tried my monitor on both the DVI output and the VGA output using the correct adaptor, I've also tried hooking up the Svideo as thats got me out of trouble before, but not in this case.
I'm out of ideas now, do these symptoms point to a problem, does the four LED's indicating CPU failure mean anything else?
Any suggestions?

Hi everyone
I'm releived to read the greyed out AGP option is normal.
Hi Frederick! - When I put the Disks and HD's back I was very careful to ensure they went back correctly although I did swap my DVD and CD around to different Master Slave positions on the same IDE. I keep my Master Slave HD's on the Primary IDE on the basis that when your burning it better to have the data on a different IDE (secondary) so there's no access issues between the burner and data retrival from the HD - which I guess is what your refering to about the install medium being on the same IDE as the HD. I didn't think about being able to change the AGP but looking at the options I don't think I can, if I remember correctly I could with my ATI card. But as long as its all running correctly its ok.
And the final update to all this -
After installing Linux I was sure there was nothing wrong my hardware but couldn't understand why windows wouln't install.
For no particular reason I ran RegClean,rebooted and tried the install again, this time I didn't lose graphics, so I defraged and installed the motherboard drivers, after rebooting I lost the graphics again. Video was still there as before with my LCD delivering a resolution notifier that 1024 X 768 was optimal resolution - so video was present. Thinking I couldn't continue I pressed CTRL ALT DEL a few times to try and restart but then the Windows welcome screen apeared followed by the desktop.So I tried re running RegClean again and rebooted but I still lost the graphics on loading, CTRL ALT DEL bought it back again. I decided to keep going on the basis a complete but flawed install was better than none. I continued and installed Direct X9 defraged and rebooted, no change. I installed the graphics driver, no change after reboot but CTRL ALT DEL bought up welcome screen and then desktop as before. Then I installed Service Pack 2, defraged and rebooted and this time I didn't lose graphics when window was loading, no need for CTRL ALT DEL anymore. I kept going and finished the install without losing the graphics anymore and it all seems stable. NTL went down again in my area at midday when I finished so I've been unable to post this last bit until now.
If anyone can explain what happened here I would be grateful. I understand the faulty cards were faulty so thats that - but why did I lose graphics until service pack 2, why did pressing CTRL ALT DEL a few times bring it back? Is it possible my systen broke the graphics cards? Is this an issue I can avoid somehow in the future during new installs on this machine? (should and when the need arises) Was it a mistake to update the VIA chipset drivers before I started all this?
Thanks again for all the help.

Component F5 on KT6 delta MS 6590 is burned

Hello all,
I have tried to restart a systrem using an old KT6 Delta and I have found out that component F5 is burned.
I would like to know what exactly is F5 (a fuse ?) and with what can I replace it, as it is now, the board boots but the graphics display are not working, maybe F5 is a fuse controlling the power supply to the video board ?
Thanks for thelp, besides that is there a place to download the schematic from this board ? I don't care about the manual, I'd like the schematics from the board, it would be VERY easy to fix my board with this document.
Many thanks

Welcome!
You have to ask MSI-staff for that, I'm afraid. Can't reach their site right now, but here is a link to main site: http://www.msi.com.tw
To be honest, I'd advice against the work you are planning:
1 A socketA mobo is cheap nowadays. It'll amount to less than your work and new parts, etc.
2 One component burnt mostly means there is or has been some abuse, and like bricks in a domino game other components might follow the F5. - Or already has!

KT6 Delta (MS-6590 V2) hangs @ Testing VGA BIOS

Hiya,
My sons machine has been running extremely well for about 4 months or so but started playing up a couple of days ago - to put it simply, the display would corrupt, produce a chequerboarding (usually pink and green) effect and occasionally blank out altogether :(
Eventually, the machine refused to start at all - I checked the D-Bracket and it showed that the machine was hanging at the Testing VGA BIOS stage.
We replaced the motherboard and the machine is now fine. My question is simple really - the components that were used with the MSI board are now in use with the replacement board so that shows that they are OK so, what could cause the MSI board to hang at this stage ? Is it the board thats faulty ? It`s only about 5 months old and has performed flawlessly until now.

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 MOBO Problem

Just what you need on New Years Eve!
I just purchased the following hardware to upgrade my current system.
KT6 Delta MS-6590 (v2.X) TX Mainboard Version 2.0 G52-M6590XD Mobo
AMD Athelon XP 2600 with L2 Cache of 512 KB Quantispeed
PNY Technologies 256MB DIMM DDR 333 Mhz-184pins Memory OEM
NVIDIA Sparkle GeForce4 MX 440-8X AGP8X 3D Graphic Accelerator
Microsoft Internet Keyboard
Current system is as follows.
American Megatrends Inc. Mobo
Intel Pentium III 550MHz
128MB Ram Installed
S3 Inc. Savage4 (Engineering Bit Flip) 1024 x 768 32-bit Video Resolution
19GB Hard Disk
Mitsumi CD-ROM FX4824TIB Max Read Speed 8467KB/s (48X)
Windows 98 operating systems
Now your probably saying “Yeah so what…!”, well here is where the fun starts.
I went out to get some more memory and asked a member of staff at the store if the new memory would improve gaming on my PC. He explained that this would not resolve the problem and a new processor was the best option. Unfortunately due to the age of my motherboard he advised me to buy a new one along with a new graphics card and memory to boot along with the new Athelon.
I removed all old hardware, installed the new as per the manual and………nothing. Fan on the processor is working, as is the one in the box but apart from a LED light on the front nothing works. The D-Bracket 2 Connector:JLED1 has all four lights on which indicates that the processor is damaged or not installed properly. Re-installed but no joy still getting the same four lights. Is it really that simple…is my processor damaged or not installed properly? Find it hard to believe that anybody could install it wrong, as there is only one way to install it.
I also have two sets of Serial ATA Cables left over. One Black at both ends with Orange Cable and the other I presume is a power Cable (4 pins) connected via two black plugs using two black, a red and yellow wire. Also the audio lead for the CD ROM cannot be connected to the MOBO but I am told this is not a problem.
Now it’s at this point you hopefully will start asking me about jumpers. Could this be the problem? Or maybe my operating system does not support this motherboard. I tried to install the software that MSI supplied but it told me I needed windows SE etc.
As you can probable tell this is my first upgrade and maybe the Athelon is buggered and I will be knocking on the stores doors Friday morning, PC in hand asking them to have a look. But I don’t want to do that…I want to solve this on my own with a little help from you.
Just to prove I’m not a total fool I have reinstalled all the old hardware so I can obtain some help over the New Year using the old set up.
Look forward to your advice
RJL :^(

New system is up and running thanks to the new PSU and all your help. Noticed a few other people have had similar problems with the PSU. It shuts down now so quick that I don't have time to get my butt out of the seat.
The D-Bracket is still showing all 4 green, lights indicating that the operating system is booting. I presume this is ok?
I'm certain that I have connected everthing up from the power ok but there is a three-pin head connector which I was not sure where it should go. It would either go in the NBFAN1 or the SFAN1 if any...any ideas?
In device manager I have a few unknown devices where the driver has not installed (code 28).
PCI ETHERNET CONTROLLER
PCI MULTIMEDIA AUDIO DEVICE
PCI RAID CONTROLLER
PCI UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS
Can you give me any pointers?
NVIDIA WDM VIDEO CAPTURE (UNIVERSAL)
This is either not present, not working properly, or does not have all drivers installed (code 10)
It says try upgrading drivers for this device so I will see if I can download some.
I would image the above is why I am getting no sound when I play a CD?
Also the Drivers & Utilities CD which came with the KT6 Delta will not load as it is asking for OS Windows 98SE and above. Do I need anything on this Disk or is it a load of rubbish which will fill up my C-Drive and never get used.
Also getting the annoying network passwork request when I boot up...how do you get rid of that again?
Look forward to you replies
RJL :~)

KT6 Delta bootup stall or monitor turn off

Hi
I recently upgraded my motherboard to a KT6 Delta and I have expreienced some boot up problems.
The PC can boot up normally and just before the windows xp flash screen appears the green LED on my monitor will turn orange..as if on standby, the pc is still operating as the fans can be heard. I then need to press the reset button and the pc will then reboot.
The reboot is sometimes quick, however, at other times this reboot often pauses at the "Via Technologie ATA Raid Bios SettingUtility v1.10...Scan Devices, Please wait......" message for about a minute and it will then procede to boot into XP perfectly fine.
I do not have any serial HD's connected.
Any points or ideas here would be useful.
Thanks.

KT6 Delta (MS-6590) with drivers from the cd included with the MB..today I checked with MSI live update and downloaded and installed the most recent via drivers.
Bios is American Megatrends Inc...version07.00T..build date is 04/02/01.
ATI Radeo 9600 (not Pro) with XP 2600.
I have already done a clean install bu the situation is the same. I have no stability problems when XP does boot up....
The switching off of the signal to the monitor on each and every single initial boot up is what I am having difficulty getting my head round, specially as it will consistantly boot on the second reboot

Northbridge cooling on KT6 Delta-FISR

KT6 delta FISR's have no active cooling, just a passive heatsink.
how much is this going to affect my overclocking of the FSB? its at 182mhz right now, aint tried more but if i DID stick on a fan would this help the case? and roughly by what mhz?
Also, since there is nothing to control the pci and agp busses, if i reached 200FSB, would this be really bad for the pci and agp bus? if not too bad, how bad on a scale of 1 to 10? and what's at risk? (or am i missing some options in the bios?)

KT6 Delta and Hercules Fortissimo?

Hi all,
Picked up one of these last week. My onboard audio would stutter... figured I'd solve that by picking up a Fortissimo and disabling onboard.
Unfortunately, the Fortissimo makes a BZZT! noise periodically when playing audio, like the noise a handshake shocker thing would make.
I tried disabling all hardware acceleration, and the Hercules tech support people didn't have anything to say other than, "it could be defective". I ordered this online and would hate to go through the hassle of sending it back.
Any ideas?

Kt6 delta

how can find the original bios fo kt6 delta LSR(ms-6590 V.2) ?

This should be the one, unless you have an OEM board.

Gaps while playing AC3 Sound through SPDIF on KT6-Delta FISR

Hi everybody,
I'm one of those lucky guys with a KT6-Delta FISR Board :D equipped with the C-Media 9739A OnBoard Soundchip and a S-Bracket from my old K7T266 Pro2 ( MS-6380 ) mainboard.
It works great. The only problem is, when I try to play
AC3-encoded Sound directly through SPDIF there are irregular gaps ( length = about half a second ) where no signal reaches my hifi system. Playing normal PCM-encoded Sound works fine, just AC3 is the problem.
I have the latest driver, the latest bios, the latest chipset driver from via & the latest Windows XP Prof. updates. :]
I also tried different AC3 Filters ( from WinFast DVD, PowerDVD and the free ac3filter ) and a fresh WinXP Prof. installation. But nothing worked.
Always these stupid gaps. ;(
The mysterious thing is: With my old MB and an extra pci soundcard with C-Media CMI8378 Chipset and optical SPDIF it works great.
Yeah, I know I could use the old one, but the KT6 OnBoard chip has some benefits :]
Some information about my system:
- Athlon XP1800@1800(133x11,5) ( Palomino Core )
- Cooling: Copper Silent 2 TC by Arctic Cooling
- Enermax power supply ( +3,3V/35A, +5V/44A, +12V/15A)
- NVidia GeForce TI4600 from Leadtek ( i forgot: latest driver )
- Western Digital WD1200JB HDD (120GB,7200 RPM,8MB Cache )
- RAM: 256 MB PC2100, CL2 by Apacer
- Home-theatre system: Sony STR-KSL5 ( dts,dolby digital/pro logic II, digital cinema sound, 2x optical digital input, 1x coaxial digital input )
- Connection between PC and hifi system: optical
Has anyone the same problem or maybe a solution or a suggestion ? Would be nice then, when he or she posts it here )

A little mistake: The S-Bracket is from the KT4 Ultra FISR - Board ( MS-6590 ), sorry for that
@osnavi:
I don't know whether it's okay or not. I just thought, the S-Bracket is just a cable extension of the onboard pin-connector ( means: there are no necessary parts in it - except the current-optical coverter for optical out - and the whole functionality is on the board ).
Have you any idea, whether there's another S-Bracket for the KT6 series ?
@maesus:
I've tested all latest available drivers ( both from www.cmedia.com.tw and from MSI via LiveUpdate3 ). All of them produced this gap.
Both drivers where tested with Coax out and Optical out.
I also tried to increase the PCI Latency in BIOS to give the sound chip more time for using the bus and therefore more time to transfer data. It didn't work, too.
I will now try the following:
- decreasing the FSB to 100 MHz ( just an idea , maybe it helps )
- installing a generic ac'97 audio driver (in case something like this exists )
- well, bang my head on my hifi system
Any suggestions are still welcomed )

KT6 Delta FISR/FIS2R Query

Hi All,
My friend is just about to upgrade his mobo (due to failure of last one).
Wanted Ultra Raid etc so was keen to get the KT6 Delta FIS2R.
For some reason we cannot get a KT6 Delta FIS2R in UK - only have listings for FISR model.
But there are two discrete verions of the FISR board to choose from :
MS-6590-12S http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=6441865042&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X3NwZWNpZmljYXRpb25z&product_uid=51280
MS-6590-090 http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=73814
Can anybody tell me if one of these id the FIS2R board ? (as that designation does not seem to exist in UK for KT6)
Else can anybody tell me if any difference to these two boards ?
Was the Promise Sata Raid controller the only update to the FIS2R over the FISR ?
Thanks in advance,
Delugecomet.

Hello,
Ebuyer have made a mistake, you need to email them and ask them what the difference is.
The KT880 is a better chipset.
http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=6451475456&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=86710
But some people experience problems such as slow screen refresh, video lag.
Yes the only difference between the FISR and FIS2R is the Promise sata controller.
Both boards cannot do IDE RAID.
If you do not need the FIREWIRE feature you could go for the Delta-LSR
http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=6451685476&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=86233
You may also want to look at the KT6V
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=511
It is the same as the kt6 Delta but there is only 2 dimm slots and the Audio is better than the KT6 delta but not the Kt880.
The nForce 2 board is the best one. K7N2-Delta ILSR.

^thanks Bounty

To get a 2200XP you need at 133MHz a multiplier of 13,5.
13,5 x 133 = 1800
But if it is a Thoroughbred 2400 kind of Athlon you need 15:

Do you know how to clear CMOS?
Else the most common reasons for this kind of problem is
- poor seating of the processor
- a divider that kicks in = mismatch memory / CPU
- too weak a Power Supply Unit
- wrong delivery
I'm guessing here, but your Mum got a whole package assembled and ready, right?
The two last points are then interesting. Think you should give the store a call.
If you or she built it herself, and if clearing CMOS and reentering speed etc doesn't do it, you have to come back with info. on your Power Supply Unit (PSU) and temps.
If you are comfortable using BIOS settings, you could increase voltage for the processor and downclock RAM speed. But really, you shouldn't have to. Do this as sort of a last resort.

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!!!
