Motherboard for AMD Athlon Mobile

Which msi motherboards work best with amd mobile cpus ? I have an AMD Athlon 1500+ left from my broken laptop and was wondering if i could use it.

k7n2 works but it over volts it alittle.
some people get the mobile for the k7n2 to be able to overclock REAL hard.
heard of people reaching 2.7ghz on air cooling with a mobile.
but that was with 2500+ mobile

[solved] Cflags for AMD Athlon x4 750K

Hello there!
I'm not sure if I've posted in right place. If not, please forgive me.
Does anyone is familiar with proper cflags for AMD Athlon X4 750K B.E. ?
I've searched around and opinions differ. Some people apply =athlon, some =amdfam10...
I'm not sure which one is correct.
Thanks in advance for any info!
//Edit: seems that amdfam10 is for phenoms..
//Edit2: Maybe I should stick to =native?

915GM speedster motherboard for Pentium M mobile CPU's confusion

Hi,
I wonder if anyone could advise me, the motherboard has a jumper J6 to alter the cpu voltage between 1.5 volts and 1.8. But none of the pentium M processors use these voltages (they are between 1volt and 1.48).
What do people set this too. Also regarding this jumper which is the number one pin? there are no markings at all on the motherboard. Do I assume that the drawing showing the settings in the manual is orientated correctly, in relation to the motherboard layout drawing. I am unable to get the motherboard to boot properly, the most I can get is a logo page for a few seconds before the board shuts down. This is with a 1.8Ghz pentium M dothan. With other cpu's the board is dead.
I have tried the following without success.
two different power supplys (both known good ones of more than adequate wattage)
4 different CPU's 1.8, 1.6, 1.5Ghz, pentium M's all 400Mhz FSB .nd a Celeron M 1.4.
both ddr 2 and ddr 1 memory (I know you can only use one type at once)
Could anyone having this board please let me know the settings they have used for jumpers J4,J5 and J6
and which CPU they are using.
I am waiting delivery of some 533 FSB pentium M,s so hopefully I will have more luck. I have always had good results with MSI boards and want to be sure before I return it.
Thanks.

I believe I have resolved the problem. The board was doing a thermal shutdown. I must admit to not being familiar with Intel Pentium P4 boards, When they were current I always bought AMD Athlons for cost and performance reasons.
The board has what I believe to be a standard P4 heatsink mount, so I used a what I believe was a standard p4 heatsink and fan. But the heatsink was not contacting the cpu, I have now used another heatsink with a raised "Platform" on the base. I am certain this is contacting the CPU as I can feel it rocking on the the CPU itself before I fit the retaining clamps. The other heatsink had a totally flat bottom so was sitting on the mounting frame not the CPU. I am very lucky that the thermal cutout worked, I sincerely hope this has prevented any damage to the CPU. If it had been an Athlon I would have been in the market for a new CPU as I don't think they had a thermal cutout. The board has been displaying the BIOS PC health status all the time I have been writing this and it has settled to a steady 36 degree CPU temperature. I feel foolish that I did not work this out sooner, I do not want to break things. Although the chip was cheap enough (I got a batch of 4 for £7.71 in total including postage) I pride myself in taking care and doing a good job. I can only say in my defence that the heatsink mounting frame prevented me from seeing if the heatsink was seated correctly. I will be building this board up as a media center, the low noise and power consumption will be ideal. I may look to add a basic passively cooled graphics card so that I can have an HDMI output to connect to my TFT telly.
I very much appreciate your help and I will try to support this forum in the future.

You need to contact AMD directly to advise them of the problem. AMD has sole responsibility for the publication of the hardware drivers for their products. Microsoft does not write hardware drivers for any third party hardware. Drivers
supplied by Windows update are supplied by the original publisher to Microsoft who in turn distributes the drivers via Windows Update.
So, it is your responsibility to report the problem directly to AMD for the ultimate resolution.

Windows 8 64bit not compatible w/ AMD Athlon 64 processor and/or ASUS A8N-SLI motherboard.

Why should I have to go through a plethora of troubleshooting techniques, then have to settle for using the Windows 8/ 32bit install CD, when I have a 64bit system? I think it's probably something in the Windows
8 /64bit code that causes it to fail install w/ AMD Athlon 64bit processor, and/or my ASUS A8N-SLI motherboard. After a lot of hassle I tried the Windows 8 /32bit CD and that seems to work fine. My real question is, why should I have to settle
for 32bit on a 64bit system?

I had the same experience trying to install Window 8 Pro 64bit (Build 9200) on an old XP SP3 32bit system, but I somehow got it working; the full story.
I had two XP Sp3 32 bit systems I wanted to upgrade to Window 8 Pro 64 bit (with the $40 upgrade deal available now). System#1 is: I7 920/Asus P6T deluxe/EVGA 560Ti/3GB/1 TB SATA 300 drive/1.44 Floppy/ 12X Bluray burner (pulled the old TV tuner card for
upgrade-incompatible). I ran the Windows 8 upgrade advisor - very few issues (TV Tuner card as mentioned and other software) - bought the upgrade. Downloaded the upgrade from my Win7Pro 64bit system to obtain the 64bit ISO (2.69GB) - burned to DVD. Installed
from DVD; no problems, finished in under 20 minutes - working great (really fast boot!).
System#2 is: Opteron 180/Asus A8N-E/EVGA 275GTX/2GB/1 TB SATA 300 drive/ 1.44 Floppy/ 16X DVD RW burner; the Windows 8 upgrade advisor - more incompatible software than system#1, but no incompatible hardware. I had read a number of blogs concerning the issues
others were having with the upgrade failing, so before I purchased, I thought I would run the 64bit install DVD I had (known to work on the other system) to see if it worked. I should note this system was not-in-use and thus I was not worried if the install
failed (I'd just be annoyed!). Ran the install from the DVD; initial splash screen - no spinning dots - waited 15 minutes (by which time no activity on DVD or hard drive) - failure. Rebooted - entered bios (1010) - tried many combinations of settings up to
disabling nearly everything (NVRAID, Legacy USB, Floppy, Audio97- all disabled / moved SATA into every slot (1-4) / tried SATA 150 and SATA 300 (SATA2, slots 3-4) - no change - failure X4 attempts. Now original XP3 installation is corrupted (GRRRR!) - I should
have imaged the drive BEFORE - oh well. Read more about others experience with this seemingly NForce board-related issue. Plan B - I will try install with an IDE (PATA) hard drive (80GB) - failure. Read more - some mention Window 8 installer not "liking" XP
partitions / disks (???); Plan C - Re-partition / format / check 80 GB IDE drive with WDTools - attempted Win8Pro install - failure. Dejected; last attempt before considering Win8Pro 32bit - Plan D - Re-partition / format / check 1 TB SATA 300 drive with SeaTools
(Barracuda 32GB buffer-7200rpm) - run Win8PRO 64bit install from DVD (build 9200) - success! Install took nearly an hour, with 3 reboots to the finish. Specifics (install configuration): 1 TB SATA drive in Slot 4 (SATA2), upgraded memory to 4GB Corsair PC3200
(4 slots filled), Two DVD drives on Primary IDE channel (master and slave), secondary IDE channel - no devices, bios (1010) - NVRAID, Audio97,1394 port,LAN -disabled; USB 2.0, USB Legacy, Floppy - enabled, IDE-Auto), TrendNet USB wireless adapter on USB slot
2 (motherboard), EVGA 275GTX in PCIe slot 1, no other cards. System seems to be performing well (fast boot times, no hangs), but as noted, no sound (I actually forgot to re-enable the Audio97 device in bios; it was 2am). I will see if I can get the Audio97
enabled today; my backup is to add a Turtle Beach Montego DDL PCI card (with the Windows7 64bit driver and run in compatiblity mode). Hope this saga might help some others out - good luck.

Slat/rvi amd motherboards for remotefx

Hi Guys,
I have a compatible amd quad core processor and I installed hyperv 2012 r2 server. i then ran coreinfo and it stated i dont have rvi so i cant do remotefx.
I want to make a motherboard purchase but I want to make sure this feature is available before I spend the money. I know many people say it's not a motherboard issue but a CPU feature. Even though I verified the AMD processor is definitely compatible,
it leads me to believe it's my mobo which has a 970 chipset. Any thoughts on successfully tested motherboards for RemoteFX?
Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Sorry to inform but uptill there is no such offical document but you can refer below article for more detail.
1.RemoteFX vGPU Setup and Configuration Guide for Windows Server 2012
2. What is RemoteFX on Windows 2012 Hyper-V and Deploying a Win 8 Virtual Desktop

!!!!!I CAN'T OVERCLOCK MY CPU. BIOS DOESN'T RECOGNIZE MY AMD ATHLON XP-MOBILE

My configuration is this:
Mainboard: MSI K7N2-DELTA2-FSR
CPU: AMD Athlon XP-Mobile 2500+ 1855MHZ
Video Card: CAPTIVA Nvidia 6600GT 128MB 128bit
Hard disk: Internal Maxtor DiamonMax 10 300GB S-ATA 16MB Buffer
Audio Card: Sound Blaster Audigy Live 5.1 24bit
Power Supply: 400WATT
DVD drive: LG 16X
SO I OVERCLOCK MY CPU UNTIL 3200+ (2200mhz), AND IF I WANT TO OVERCLOCK MORE DURING "POST", BIOS DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THE NEW VALUE (ES: FSB 200 / X11.5 = 2300mhz . DOESN'T RECOGNIZE).
PLEASE HELP ME OR CAN YOU TELL ME HOW CAN I RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM???
THANKS A LOT. BYE

Please furnish us some more info concerning the memory you are using and power output of the 3.3v - 5v -12v rails of your power supply along with the name of its manufacturer.
Some mobile cpus start up with a lower multiplier and then go to the bios to use the preset settings in the bios. If the cpu can't start with the bios settings, it remains at its start up values. Your mobile may not be able to run at a multiplier of 11.5 with a 200fsb. Drop its fsb back to 166 (stock fsb 133) and see if you can run it at its rated multiplier of 14. That will equal 2324mhz.
Overclocking is finding a balance between the fsb and the multiplier that allows you to get the most stable speed out of the cpu.
You also have not mentioned what vcore voltage that you are using or the temps.
The memory that I'm using are : V-Data 512x2 MB DDR CL 2,5
The power supply is 400watt chassis, 3,3V, 12V, 5V.
I tell you that with the mainboard ASUS I did't have this problem with the multiplier because I put 11.5 x 200Fsb.
Thanks of all.MSI DriversMSI Drivers

MSI-6741 v1 (K8MM-ILSR) with Athlon Mobile 64 3000+

I just bought a new motherboard and cpu for my HTPC project this week, and started to make some test.
I found out that the new via K8M800 was a good choice for Athlon 64, so I jumped on the new K8MM-ILSR board. Like all of us wanting to build a noise less HTPC, I decided to take the mobile version of the Athlon. According to the specs of AMD, it shouldn't be different (except core voltage and heat) compare to the "normal" version.
Well, that s the theory! When I assembled the motherboard and the CPU, I was supprised to see the MB doesn't recognised correctly the CPU. Well at start-up , it sees the CPU Model as an Athlon 64 Mobile 3000+ , but that 's it.
In the BiOs (upgraded to the latest version 3.6), the DDR speed isn't well detected -> DDR200 instead of DDR400 (Corsair DDR400), and the CPU speed is "blocked" to 800Mhz with a multiplier of 4x when I check with CPUID in windows XP.
I forgot to mention, to be able to boot the system, I had to reduce the Hypertransport speed to 600Mhz , instead of 800Mhz in the BIOS.
At the end, in Windows XP, I see that non of the specs are the right one:
-> VCore is 1.088v (!) -> Yes great undervolting, if the CPU speed was correct
-> CPU Speed is 800Mhz ( with or without Cool'n'Quiet activated in the BIOS)
-> HT speed is 600Mhz
So, I was surprise to not be able to change anything in the BioS (!?!?), I cannot change the Vcore , CPU speed, multiplier in this BioS ... only the FSB is allowed. Well, that s a little bit disapointing for a MB which is supposed to support overclocking.
Sooooo, anyone got tip to make this MB detecting correctly the Athlon Mobile? Is there anyone of MSI who can give a status about the support for this kind of CPU? What's wrong with the detection?
Thanks.

As far as your ram is concerned, it could be that your motherboard posts reading show Frequency reading of your ram and not its rating. PC 3200 or DDR400 is
200mhz X 2. So if its showing 200mhz that may not be wrong. use Otherwise change the speed in the Bios to DDR400.
To check to see if its reading correctly even at 200mhz. Use Everest or CPU-Z to detect what speed it is running at. If it reads as PC3200 then your fine.
CPU-Z is also another good tool to see whats up with your processor.
I do not know much about DTR Athlon Processors. Wish I could help you more here. My friends Notebook 3000+ runs at 700mhz when battery life is low! That is all I know! Could yet be another bios config.
You will never be able to directly overclock a processor or change a CPU clock speed. Only indirectly by upping the FSB.

only the FSB is allowed. Well, that s a little bit disapointing for a MB which is supposed to support overclocking.
Actually the FSB is how you overclock, or the multi. Changing your FSB will overclock your CPU. That is how you typically overclocl, unless you are changing multipliers as well.
Multi * FSB = Clockspeed
Regular athlon 64's have a FSB of 200.
I hope this is a start to help ya out. At least untill someone more knowledgable shows up!

AMD Athlon XP 2800 (Barton Core) will not post at FSB 166 MHz.

Per top of the board “stickys” I have read a great number of the post on this board and done my homework to provide as much technical info to help you help me. This should explain some of it’s lengthy nature.
Aside from Memory, HDD and Video card every thing else has been unplugged from board and power or stripped out of slots to isolate the problem.

However, v. 1.c did not work and would not post at all with the newly installed Barton AMD-XP 2800. [frankly this attempt was months ago and I do not remember whether it would post at the slower 100 and 133 FSB speeds, and also to muddle my memory further I was upgrading an A7N8X-D with a Barton XP 3000 and having similar problems on the ASUS,,, which is now running fine at full potential. ; - p
•   Then I selected and flashed A6712 V 1.7 122602, boots and runs Win.XP-sp2 at FSB 100MHz & 133MHZ. (MSI:” Supports AMD Barton XP2800+ (FSB333) CPU
-Fixes system sometimes will have IDE CRC error -Fixes D-bracket2+USB keyboard, cannot use keyboard on DOS mode.)” which couldn’t run FSB 166MHz.
I checked with the Tech. at the local shop where I purchased the KT4V MoBo. He suggested I try a different BIOS but he didn’t specify which one. He is a personal friend and admits to some bad luck and dead boards due to flashing bios so reluctant to mess with it.
•   Now running: A6712vms.1B0 – MSI hid this BIOS V. found here:

•    No wonder people are frustrated and confused about different MoBo versions there ID #’s and the BIOS versions them selves as seen on this news board. MSI’s fault, no fault of anyone here trying to help.
A6712vms.1B0
Runs fine at FSB 100 (shows as XP 1250+) and FSB 133 (shows as XP 2200+) Booting to Win. XP-sp2 on CMOS, default setup other than minor tweaks to accommodate MSI Ti 4200 AGP 8X 125mb graphics card or Gilmond PCI card. But which couldn’t run FSB 166MHz .
No post at FSB 166 mhz (once, it did flash a post screen stating AMD Athlon XP 2800 for about 2 sec. before going blank) Manual power down. Just now I rebooted with FSB 166, and again saw the AMD Athlon XP 2800 at top of the post screen as I hit pause break,,,, then the machine power crashed to Off. Once it even loaded Win.XP-sp2 but crashed to power off with in 2 min.
I must have booted this beast a dozen times or more after Clear CMOS jumper each time it went to blank screen with mach. still running. Start over; set Default settings and work up with FSB 100, 133, each time to read what POST says and see if it will boot to O/S.
Btw: I have looked for clear evidence through the not so specific descriptions MSI uses to separate these board model #s and may be part of my current problem with correct board ID = correct BIOS ID.

[VIA] unofficial FAQ for KT4 series motherboards
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=6090.0
Eg: - KT4 Ultra (MS-6590), 6-channel hardware audio codec
• KT4 Ultra (Pure Version)
• KT4 Ultra-B (Bluetooth ready)
• KT4 Ultra-BSR (Bluetooth ready + Serial ATA RAID)
• KT4 Ultra-FISR (Bluetooth ready, Serial ATA RAID, Gigabit LAN, IEEE 1394)
- KT4V (MS-6712), 6-channel software audio codec
• KT4V-L, with onboard 10/100 LAN
- KT4M (MS-6596) micro-ATX board
• KT4M-L, with onboard 10/100 LAN
- KT4A Ultra, (MS-6590) NEW!! based on KT400A chipset
• KT4A Ultra (Standard Version)
• KT4A Ultra-SR (Serial ATA RAID)
• KT4A Ultra-FISR (Serial ATA RAID, Gigabit LAN, IEEE 1394)
And a very similar version of this on Official MSI site. Both seem to try and make a difference between modles with on board Lan, and Blue Tooth ready.
Take a look at my original box sticker:
*As seen on face of MoBo: KT4V MS-6712 Ver:10A
*The Original Box bar code label: KT4V-L (601-6712-050)
K7, KT400. 5.1 chnl. S/W Audio, LAN, D-Bracket 2.
Yup, it says all this on the sticker and the in the manual and verified on the MoBo. So I can only guess at all parts of the puzzle as they gave them to me which lead me to the afore mention BIOS versions I ran, or am running. The sticker points to nearly half of the boards above except for the MS-6712 and the Ver:10a which is what I based my BIOS choices on. If someone knows differently and can lead me to official Nfo with a better answer I’m all ears.

Yes, and the above have been upgraded w/new chips GFX cards and BIOS,,, NP.
Cut to sound track: Down on the BIOS again,,, wasn’t that Creedance Clear Water Revival?
Any suggestions or insights are much appreciated.

Welcome, and thank you for a thorough input! Hope I don't miss something you already said!
Quick version: Try setting processor voltage to 1,5 volt.
Long version:
Posting at wrong FSB can be put down to two things:
1 The processor isn't what you thought it is, but I think you eliminated that.
2 The system cannot run the processor at the correct speed. Mainly this has to with overheating, and/or that memory and processor cannot cooperate. This must be it, as you noticed the processor is correctly recognised.
You have little connected right? Then the best thing would be to pull power cable out. Take the motherboard and redo the seating of the processor, this is much better done with motherboard taken out.
At the same time, I suggest you clear CMOS. Should always be done when changing processor, and I've noticed on the Internet there are a few 1,5V XP2800 around.

Overclock AMD Athlon II X2 250 on MSI 760GM-P21 (FX)

I want to overclock AMD Athlon II X2 250 on motherboard MSI 760GM-P21 (FX), integrated video card from motherboard and MS-TECH VERTIGO 520W 80+ power supply.
But before buy this power supply I had a NoName 400w.
And when I oc on NoName PSU after 3,3 ghz I receive BSOD.
How to oc more than 3,3 ?
Ty.

The CPU itself would work just fine up till the current draw exceeds the limit of CPU VRM (Voltage Regulator Module) and fry it. Even tho it's listed as supported don't use CPU over 95W and even then under heavy loads for longer periods of time a 95W CPU could possibly cause damage also. If using a 95W don't OC it any. The VRM on the 760GM was never intended for 125W CPU.
The only reason the 125W CPU is listed is because competing brands show support for them and MSI made the wrong decision to list them also just for competitive marketing purposes.

I was looking for a 125watt board too and its really hard to find one from MSI that have the things I want, I cant even find a board with Nvidia chipset, amd2+ and support a 125 watt processor (or not tested OK yet) or some boards without a cpu support list yet. So no AM2+ for you if you want a 125watt processor on it and a nvidia chipset. is there any reason why MSI cant fix 125watt support?
If you dont care about a future quadcores upgrade you can buy a old AM2 board, but dont forgot to look at the cpu support list, because the most AM2 boards doesnt support 125watt either. ???

That is not true, 125W support usually have high end mainboards.
"I cant even find a board with Nvidia chipset, amd2+ and support a 125 watt processor (or not tested OK yet) or some boards without a cpu support list yet. "
Here are they:

K9N2 Diamond ==> http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=1438&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=171
AM2+ Nvidia chipset boards, not only support 125W, but support 140W CPU too.

AMD Athlon 64 3800+ cpu upgrade to AMD Athlon 64 X2

Hello everyone,
First of all, I have been to cpu-upgrade.com and typed in my current (CPU)--> AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 2.40GHz (motherboard)--> ASUS A8M2N-LA (Naos) GL6.
According to the website, my AM2 Socket (940pin) is capable of upgrading to a Dual Core, Anyone know if that site is accurate or not? Any help would be nice. I need to get away from this single core.
1) Some CPU models require a BIOS upgrade, which a BIOS upgrade for this board is not available.
2) A lot of X2 Dual Cores work either using a 4400+, 4600+, and so on....
I do have a 550watt PSU installed, also I am using MSI Nvidia GeForce GT620 PCI-express 16x graphics, not using onboard.
I have read that some BIOS' upgrades terminate the onboard video, is that true? Basically, whatever I already have installed is current and up to date with all video/sound drivers, etc... If anybody very knowledgable knows for sure if an AMD Athlon 64 X2 will work in my system that would be nice. My specs below......
OS: Windows Vista Home Basic (32bit)
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 2.40GHz
RAM: 2GB (GDDR2)
PSU: 550watt (all 20+4 for main cable to motherboard connected using all 24 pins + 4pin connector for CPU? I believe.
Sound: Realtek HD ALC888 High Definition Audio
Video: MSI Nvidia GeForce GT620 (GDDR3 with 2GB Video Memory).
Only thing I am bottle necking on is the CPU, and I would love to upgrade to Dual Core, once again, thank you for the help.

Hello @bigsnake,

K7T266Pro2-A - system unstable wid amd athlon xp 1880+?

I have a K7T266Pro2-A motherboard wid an AMD athlon xp 1800+ processor. My main problem is when I load the optimal bios settings to get the processor at 1800+, my system becomes unstable. It works fine at the default speed of 1153 mhz. Anyone know how to fix this?

Quote
i changed my FSB to 166mhz
You mean fsb133 I think, fsb166 isn't supported by the K7T266Pro2-A.
Btw: No need for apology, better asking here than blowing up your hardware.
