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.

Cannot install LAN driver for my "KT6 Delta Series" motherboard

I've got this motherboard (KT6 Delta Series). Bought it second hand recently and I haven't got the original MSI driver CD. I downloaded all the drivers from the MSI website (http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=474&kind=1) but I'm not able to install the driver for my onboard LAN.
I just get a yellow dot on the ethernet controller under unknown devices in my device manager. When I try to update driver from device manager by searching the folder where I unzipped the driver, I just get a message saying something like "no driver could be found for this device in the selected folder... will you connect to Windows Update to search for a driver...?". I've also tried to install it the hard way by selecting "from floppy disc" and browse for the "b44win.inf" file inside the "WinXP" folder in the unzipped driver folder... but I stilll get an error message... saying something like "can't find any information of the hardware in the selected folder"... it's a bit difficult for me to describe the messages correctley because not English Windows version.
I've downloaded both LAN drivers for this card from MSI download site (http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=474&kind=1). Both "Broadcom 5788 LAN Drivers" and "Broadcom 4401 LAN Drivers" and non of them will install on my system. I've also tried downloading from the Broadcom website (http://www.broadcom.com/drivers/downloaddrivers.php). NON of them will install (
I've just formated my harddrive with fresh Windows XP install... The only software already installed is drivers for my motherboard and AGP card. No other software that can make any conflicts. When I connect a network cable to the onboard LAN the yellow light goes on so it seems the card itself is working.... but where can I get a driver that will install???
I've also tried connecting another network card (realtek 10/100) and connected my ADSL internett through it... and used the MSI Live Update utility... but still no luck... the only network driver it gets is the one for my reltek card :-(
Any suggestions???
I use Windows XP Professional SP2. How do I install the drivers for my onboard LAN???
Best regard.

"...so my onboard Broadcom 4401/5788 controller thinks it is a 3COM controller instead of a broadcom controller..." Think it shouldn't be possible since basic data should be written in a kind of ROM. Now, if that could happen, it should be possible to reverse it the same way you did to overwrite that data.
I belive you are right... but I can't reverse it the same way I did when overwrite the data... because I'm not able to install the driver :( I cannot install the driver at all in Windows XP. In Windows ME it's possible to force the installation of the driver... but it does not work. It moves from unknown devices to network controllers... but it gets a yellow dot... and is not working. Every time I boot Windows ME I get a message reporting that something is wrong with the broadcom ethernet controller :(
I belive the only way I can reverse it is to replace my harddrive with another... with Windows XP and drivers for my card is already installed on the harddrive... the same way as I did when overwriting the rom file(s) with data from my Asus board... but I can't make such a harddrive when the drivers won't install on my card :(
I maybe think this also has happend to the onboard Audio controller... and maybe the chipsett also :( The audio controller works perfectley eith the MSI C-Media drivers... but when I run MSI live update... I get drivers for the C-Media device... but also drivers for "VIA AC97" audio controller can be downloaded from the MSI Live Update Utility... The "VIA AC97" is the audio controller on my Asus board... so I belive it has happened here also... and maybe also to the "VIA 4in1" chipset... but this is the same "VIA KT600" chipset as on my Asus board. When updating my Via 4in1 driver, I just get an option to update the inf file. But normaly on "Via 4in1" drivers on other boards I know, there shold be installed drivers for PCI, IDE and AGP. Is it the same way for you guys with this motherboard? Is it only the "Inf file" to update for you guys also?
What I think is most frustrating here is that things like this cab happen. This can happen to everybody. Many times I've switched harddrive from one computer to another... and I've never experienced anything like this before. This time I was not planing to boot the harddrive at all... just format it... but forgot to set the right boot order... so the harddrive booten... and that's all it takes to "destroy" my board. Shouldn't these ROM files be a littlebit more difficult to overwrite, you think? Why doesn't MSI writeprotect their ROM files or anything... to make them a littlebit more difficult to destroy...?
Well... I'm still interested in advices on how to "restore" my motherboard data to the original values... and remember... clear CMOS and update BIOS is not enough :(

Kt6-Delta Seris Probelm

hi ive been trying to fix my mothers reasonably new pc shes got its about 6 months old its a kt6 delta seris ms 6590 motherboard with a amd 2400+ athlon xp with corsair 512 400mhz ram stick and for some reason it wont run the cpu at 2400+ it will only run it as an 1800+ if i put it in my computer it runs full speed can someone help me out here
^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:
http://forum.piara.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=291
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.

MSI KT6 Delta series problem!! :(

Hi there!
Im new to the forums so hello to everybody
Ok i have a problem with my new motherboard.
I bought the MSI KT6 Delta SLR i think ...
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=474
Ok before i bought this motherboard i used to have a ABIT KT7 Raid and it all worked well!
But i wanted a new 1 so i bought the MSI mobo.
The setup in my case didnt change at all i only replaced the motherboard.
I started it up and it couldnt find the HD's on IDE1 ...But it did find the CDroms , dvd etc on IDE2.
I changed it around so i had the HD's on IDE2 and CDROM's on IDE2 ...but it didnt startup after that ...
I changed them back and again it only found the CDrom's .
I thought hmz maybe i broke something who knows so i changed back to the old mother board and it worked well again
So it had to be the motherboard i thought ...so i went back ...got a new 1 same brand / type etc.
Again i did the same but now AGAIN it didnt find the HD's on IDE1 ...but it DID find the HD's on IDE2 .....
So now im stuck with only 1 HD and a dvd burner
What could be the problem ?
I tried everything....from " master/slave " and only 1 HD or only 2 HD's etc but then it either cant find the disks or it wont startup at all ....

Hey all
This is my first post!
i just got a load of MSI stuff check my sig and i wanna get my DDR running dual Channel can someone help ???
Also i got temps of 40-56 Temps on my CUP (Athlon)
Thanks All

Yep ya ain't got no Dual Channel on this board want that get a Nforce2 or wait around and see if Via releases the rumored KT880 dual channel socket a chipset, and pray that MSI or any motherboard makers pickup the chipset.

KT6 Delta-FISR V2 fresh WinXP installation hang

Hola
I have recently bought a KT6-Delta FISR MoBo with a Athlon XP 2400+ and have encountered some problems.
After the MoBo finally managed to recognize the HDD and CD-ROM i have tried to install WinXP Pro. After boting from CD-ROM the inspection of the hardware setup takes forever and when initializing windows setup it runs sloooooooow before the system hangs when loading the initial system files. (like kernel debugger etc.).
When monitoring the temperatures in BIOS I get the impression that everythings nice and cool.
The system recognizes my CPU as 1800+ and the DRAM at 266MHz.
The PATA-IDE controller is enabled and the ATA-IDE disabled. (not using neither SATA nor RAID) i have tried to fiddle with the FSB and DRAM freq's but it crashed my system. Any suggestions to why my system wont get past Windows initial installation? To weak power? BIOS/hardware error/misconfig?
By the way, what is Broadcom NetXtreme Ethernet Boot Agent? Something which can/shoud be disabled?
Hail Santa!
Specs:
KT6-Delta FISR version 2
AMD Athlon XP 2400+ (266MHz)
60GB Maxtor DiamondMax 16
AOpen FSP300-60PN Power 300W

It says PATA enabled, SATA disabled.
By the way, everything is up and running.
The problem turned out to be the TDK CD-ROM which wouldn't read the WinXP CD.
Switched to my Plextor and "voila" I'm in business
The AOpen power works just fine and gives plenty of juice.
Now the FSB runs at 133Mhz and the system shows my Athlon XP 2400+ processor correct.
Happy new year every body

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

[KT6-DELTA] System won't start up

I have used MSI KT6-Delta series for almost 2 years and so far there were no problem. Yesterday, my sister used the computer, but after few minutes the computer was "hang". After she restarted the system, the system cannot start up.
- The power indicator on the casing is OFF
- The fan of processor is ON
- The light on my CD-Writer is ON
- There is no output display on my monitor.
- There is no "beep" sound.
Any suggestions about this problem?

I had a smilar problem with this same board it was power supply related...
Please check that the HDD spins up
and that you video card is properly seated
and finally chack the speed of the CPU fan is normal... like I said I had a similar prblem and the way I knew it was the PSU that that the CPU fan was turning very slowly.
Also please make a signature like below so we can diagnosis your system better including max amps of the rails in your PSU 3.3V, 5.0V and 12V.

KT6 Delta Large lba ??

hi, all
i have brand new MSI kt6 delta series,with Athalon XP 2500+ and i am having problems with my 160 gig external storage drive its only showing up as 127 gig , I am running windows 2000,,, and yes with all new service packs etc.bios is updated to the newest also. and added the 48 bit value in the registry---(EnableBigLba)=1), and I am still not seeing correct size, guess my question is ,, is this motherboard 48 bit compatible, I read the manual and did not see it listed in the specs, any help would greatly be appreciated
Thanks ,, Lee

I may be wrong but I thought that it was best to format larger HDD's with F-Disk then convert it over to NTFS in windows Command Prompt
then you should see the full 160gig HDD

MSI KT6 Delta witk 1024MB RAM don't work

Hi.
As you already know I got an KT6 Delta FISR mobo.
But it won't run properly with 1GB of RAM.
When in windows (XP Prof.) and I try to use for example Winamp and any game, I gets an error that says I'm out of memory so I have to exit one or more programs.
I think thats stupid since I don't get that error with 512 MB.
I've tried with just one chip @512MB (both of them) and it works fine, but when I puts in the last chip it won't work properly.
It's a time ago this happened so I've sold off my last chip but now I want more RAM and I thought that it would be nice to clear up if it's the mobo or just win xp?
I think its maybe because I've then had just a 2GB partiton to have windows on and win. did not have enough virtual memory.
I have now a 5GB partition, will it work now or may I shift mobo.
(tried to ask the folks where I bought this crap but they had no idea what I ment so gave up)

MSI KT6 Delta LSR SATA to PATA High CPU Usage Problem

Well recently I've switch to my one of my other motherboards on my network to a MSI KT6 Delta LSR, it was working fine after a reformat, but I notice a few problems and that is 100% cpu usage for SATA to PATA, and vice versa, which seems really crazy. Then my network card performance is ISDN speed sluggish, and I tested my line to be working 100% with another mobo. But when I put another NIC on the same mobo it suffers the same speed problems.
Any suggestions? The rig is specs:
Barton 2500+
Antec QuietPower 350W
200GB Seagate SATA HDD
40GB Seagate PATA HDD
ATI Radeon 7500 AIW
Audigy 2 Value
Realtek 8139 NIC
MSI KT6 Delta LSR Mobo
2x512 MB PC 2700 RAM
Pioneer 107D DVD Writer
LG 16X DVD-ROM

Shouldn't say what I don't know about SATA, but since I found below, I need ask if VIA 4in1 drivers are installed, preferably while in SafeMode I say:

I recently installed 160g Seagate barracuda 7200.7 drive on SATA port. (I enabled the Bios using Auto) I have a P4I865pea-6al mother board, with two PATA drives . When copying files between the PATA drives on ide ports, to or from, the SATA drive, I notice the CPU usage goes up to 100%, but when copying files from one ide drive (the PATA drives) to another the CPU usage is very low.
Is there a bios setting that will allow me to copy files from the SATA drive to the Pata drives using a small amount of CPU power, found when just copying between the Primary and Secondary IDE drives? I am using Adobe premiere pro, which uses a lot of CPU power, and the high CPU usage of the SATA drive crashes this program? Any help would be appreciated

KT6 Delta FISR gaming crashes

I have been having problems for a few weeks now, with random unexplainable crashes whilst gaming, sometimes the PC just drops back to windows XP, other times the whole machine just resets and reloads and tells me that windows has recovered from a serious error (send, don't send error report) caused by a device driver, still other times I get a BSOD with varying messages:PFN_LIST CORRUPT, IRQL_LESS NOT EQUAL, and then there is the scrambled unreadable BSOD accompanied by a loud sound from the speakers followed by reset and error report.
I must stress that this problem only occurs when gaming, Sim City 4 being its favourite victim, all other processes are unaffected, I can edit photos, surf and do all office work type apps.
I have tried reinstalling windows XP several times using various methods described in other threads but to no avail
All hardware in this machine worked perfectly in this combination on my Abit AT7 MAX2 mobo

o_0Received a new KT6 Delta at begining of Jan, everything was working fine, but lately the thing seems to be exhibiting exactly the same behaviour as the last one (as well as having the cold reboot thing). These symptoms seem to be getting worse as time goes on, this is really unusual, normally if you have a hardware prob it doesn't come on over time, does it?
This is really annoying all of my hardware ran fine when I put it back on my Abit AT7Max2, I did about 75 hours of gaming, and not a crash in sight.
Has anyone got any more insights into this problem
I am running with AGP fastwrites on, but with the AGP write option disabled in smartgart

New KT6 Delta Mobo now PC Won't Start

I replaced my motherboard yesterday for a KT6 Delta. After re-installing al the cards etc. and switching the power on absolutely nothing happens. No lights on the front of the box, no fans, nothing. Does this mean my PSU is dead, or is it something more serious?

thanks
4 reds on the D-bracket means that the processor is either installed wrong or damaged. I suspect that this might stretch to include simply not having enough power to light up the processor, which is why Athlons require the extra 4 pin plug, which BTW is specifically sized electrically for the CPU. Using one of the Molex plugs from a drop can kill the CPU. Better to just buy the correct PSU.

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 :~)
