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!

MSI K7T266 Pro (MS-6380) with Athlon XP 2000+ Thoroughbred

...I used search, but I couldn't find anything compared to my problem... maybe someone can help me... ok... the problem...
My hardware: This is the motherboard I'm talking about (MSI K7T Pro (MS-6380)). And the processor is Athlon XP 2000+ Thoroughbred A.
This processor in not on the supported CPUs page. But someone told me then it is maybe still possible to get this motherboard and this CPU to run correctly. Maybe with a special BIOS update or something.
Does anyone knows something about that?

I agree that if it can run a 1.4 as far as power it should run a 2100+. It appears that the multiplier is there as it should support up to 15x. I think it would work as it is only another 66mhz, you might however have to use beta bios VA1.6 . My mb will recognise my cpu as a 2200+ when O/C high enough, but my MB only support 2100+ yet tables are there for supporting the cpu.
I think like most of the issues MSI knows that it can work but is worried for some reason or another of components being damaged so they will not officially support. It might only fail in 10% or maybe less of the cases but thats enought to stop MSI, Is that enough to stop you?
Than again it is only 66mHz I doubt you'd see the difference, Is it worth the trouble? I wouldn't chance it for 66mHz you could easily O/C to that speed, actually faster.
Good luck

K8MM-ILSR 1920x1200 supported?

I upgraded the PC of my father in law with a Dell U2410 1920x1200 monitor.
The system uses onboard video of the MSI mainboard K8MM-ILSR with VIA® K8M800 Chipset.
http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=1&prod_no=601
The videopart is called VIA Unichrome Pro IGP.
Max what I get now is 4:3 1600x1200. No wide resolutions at all.
Before I flash the board with latest BIOS, does the board support 1920x1200 or any wide resolution?

Sorry that board is too old, if it doesn't with the latest drivers it will never do it with the onboard.
VIA stopped making chipsets a long time ago, so don't expect them to fix it.
Put a ATI 9550 AGP or so in it and it will work just fine.

MSI MS-6741 v1.0 Mobo - K8MM-ILSR

I am finding it difficult to identify this board from the K8TM-ILSR.
First, both of the untested boards I have in my possession detail on the
rear side if the board, K8MM-ILSR concatentated to a long number.
However, as I suspect these boards are dead, I visited the MSI website with
a view to obtaining drivers, BIOS, manuals and the like.
First, the MSI pic of the K8MM-ILSR has a decal on the mobo topside in white as with MS 6741 VER:1
This is consistent with the boards I possess.
Second, the MSI pic of the the K8TM-ILST has the same decal but is amiss the CNR slot present on the K8MM.
Third, searching for BIOS updates, the board selector specifies K8MM-ILSR (MS-6741-030)
Fourth, the board selector specifies for K8TM-ILSR (MS-6741).
Is there such as board as a ver 3 MS-6741?
Yours confused...?....

look here how to ID your board:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=107777.msg798546#msg798546
look between PCI slots, and look for current BIOS version installed.

K8MM ILSR + Athlon 64 3000 : wong temperature after restart

Hello,
I have just installed a K8MM ILSR.
Starting with a cold system, CPU temperature is around 40°C after one hour of normal use.
If I restart the computer, the temperature is immediately at 50°C and stay stable.
1 - which temp is the right one (40 or 50°C) ?
2 - the BIOS release is 3.4, is this problem solved in the new release 3.7?
Thanks for your help

Are you using any USB devices? Might sound strange, but on some systems USB devices affect the temp sensors in some strange way. When I power on my USB HDD, my temp shoots up a few degrees Celsius. Switching off the drive doesn't help, temps go back to normal after a reboot. Same thing on three different systems (all MSI boards)...

[Athlon64] MSI K8MM-ILSR

Hi!
Im new to the msi forums..and i have some questions about the mobos
I am installing an amd 64 2800+ and i wanna use the k8mm-ilsr mobo (cuz it has an onboard vid card)
The reason why I need an onboard vid card is because i plan to get the 6600gt in the summer (i am saving up at the moment so i need something to get me through the 2-3 months). The other option i have is to get a mobo and a low end vid card (radeon 9250) and use it untill i get the 6600gt but it seems like a waste of money.
I was wondering if the k8mm-ilsr is a good mobo for the 64 and if there are some problems i should be aware of. This is my first time builidng a comp.

Hi and welcome.
There are surprisingly little problems with those.
It basicly has components which have been around 4 a while, so I gues that took the sharp edges of things, I am sure u won't regret it.
Good choice 4 a vid card btw. Even an ATI adept like me has to admit the 6600GT is the best value 4 money at the moment.

K8MM-ILSR PROBLEM with ATI Radeon 9550 of 256MB AGP port 8X...

Hello, I have a motherboard MSI-K8MM-ILSR, when use the onboard video card works correctly, but the problem begins when I install a ATI Radeon 9550 of 256MB, is AGP port 8X and has its dissipator, in other machines it works well and your temperature is ok. My monitor is Samsung Sync Master 793s at 75 Hz. The Problem is the following: the machine crash and the video is distorted and it is congealed, this happens after playing a little, the video card drivers are updated (Catalyst 5,6), I'm use Windows XP Service Pack 1, Thanks... and excuse me my English...

Some other options you can try:
- uninstall the previous vid-drivers and use driver cleaner software to uninstall everything
- disable onboard video in the BIOS;
- set fastwrite to disabled/no (if it's there)
- set AGP Aperture Size to 128 (if it doesn't do anything, go to 64);
- set AGP port to 4x.
- Start hoping .... good luck!
(BTW, the last two options may cause your system to operate slightly slower, but it's hardly worth mentioning ... )

K8MM-ILSR Bios 3.7 not work with Sempron64, Only show 512/1mb

Ok I have K8MM-ILSR, The processor shows Unknown type but it seems to run ok.
I am running Sempron64 2800, 2x 512mb Patriot cas2.
The Mobo only recognizes 512 mb of ram on the board, If somone has a solution to fix the problem I would be gratefull for the help.

3.7 is the latest publis release Bios.
I have tested both brand new memory sticks, in both ram slots and they both work perfectly.

K7n2 delta ilsr with kingston pc333

Owning a MSI K7N2 DELTA ILSR with an AMD ATHLON XP 2800+ and 512mb DDR KINGSTON (KVR333X64C25/512).
I like to run the motherboard with a FSB of 166MHz, with a 12.5 multiplier.
Setting the FSB/DRAM to 1:1 gives no troubles at all.
But FSB/DRAM 1:2 will lock up the booting process and the only way to escape the black-screen-of-nothing is to reset the bios with the jumper :-(
This way I run half the speed my memory is capable of!
Somebody a suggestion?

memory and cpu uses ddr to transmit data.
double data rate.
it means it sends data twice each clock cycle instead of one.
166mhz true transfer rate becomes 333mhz virtual transfer rate.

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

K8MM-ILSR: Unknown CPU & Audio

Hello,
I have an K8MM-ILSR motherbord. I installed a Sempron 2600+. The BIOS reports Unknown CPU. Why is that?
Also I have installed the front audio headers from my case. When I plug in a headset in the front ports, the rear speakers are still active. With the same case and a different motherbord when I plug in the front ports the rear speakers turn off.
How can I get the rear speakers to turn off when I'm using front audio?
Thanks

Hi!
I bought a K8MM-ILSR mainboard and a AMD Semperon 64 2800+ E6-Stepping CPU.
After Installation the BIOS as well as Windows XP tells me, that I am running an unknown AMD CPU. Having browsed through the global MSI-webpages, I had to find out that the latest E6-stepping of the Semperon 64 processor is not supported by the BIOS. This is a major hassle as I am unable to use the Cool 'n Quiet feature among other things thus giving me fans at full speed and a system which is always on full power.
I have already installed the latest AMD K8 Driver and the latest C'nQ-Software, nonetheless these software parts are not helping.
Can you please release a BIOS update for this particular mainboard as I would like to keep my CPU and have it fully supported. Thanks you very much in advance.

MOVED: K7N2 Delta2-LSR with XP-Mobile 3000+/266 FSB - settings?

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
K7N2 Delta2-LSR with XP-Mobile 3000+/266 FSB - settings?

I have the same motherboard, and from what I understand, your Athlon XP-Mobile 3000+ with 266 FSB will only run at 166. A AMD 3200+ with 400 Mhz fsb will run at 200 Mhz (with the correct memory). My board has an xp 2800 + with 333 fsb and the best I can get it is 166.
As far as overclocking, I don't know - I'm not brave enough to try (and I don't know enough about it).
Here's a link to the manual, if you look in the section about memory, it will give you the fsb possibilities.

If you can get more out of it, I would be happy to know!
Hope this helps.
