MSI K7T Turbo2 + AMD Athlon XP 2600+

I have downloaded lastest BIOS for MSI K7T Turbo2 but i haven't able to run CPU at full speed (133x16=2128 MHz). And there's no multipler greater than 15 available...
currenlty i'm using 145xdefault (12,5) = 1812,5 MHz... has anyone solved this problem? CPU = AMD Athlon XP 2600+ (333)

Oh bugger!
After posting this, I continued scanning and found the answer - and coming back here, I now understand BD51's answer.  Didn't sink in first time round!
Anyway, I have apparently purchased the 333fsb version, blissfully unaware that was a 266 version, and that THAT is the one I SHOULD have bought.
Ah well, that'll learn me to check the spec's more closely in future.
Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

  • K7T Turbo2 and Athlon XP 2600 / 333 BIOS settings ?

    Hi,
    Does anyone have any experience with this combo ?
    I've tried to install the processor but I can't achieve 2600 Mhz...only 1600 Mhz !
    Any ideas ?
    ---> MSI K7T Turbo2 (latest BIOS)
    ---> AMD Athlon XP 2600+ FSB 333 BOX
    Jumper J17 (i think) is out.
    Thanks,

    Unfortunately Bogdan2003 is right, your board only supports a 266MHz FSB.  The XP 2600 doesn't run at 2600MHz, it comes in two flavours one runs at 2083MHz which is the 333FSB version and one at 2133MHz which is the 266FSB version, the later being the one your board will support.

  • MSI K7T turbo2 MS-6330 bios ver 3.6..NEED SERIOUS HELP!!

    Anybody plz help me.I own a mobo above running amd athlon xp 2000+. My system run well for one week. After dat, my system started to give me problem. It hangs one day and when i reboot my com, the message "Windows protection error. Please restart your computer" appears. I tried already many times to restarted my com..but still fails. So i think maybe RAM problem..so i try to remove and reinstall the RAM. Then my com succeed to boot into windows. Everything run ok..no problem for few days. Then suddenly my com hang again and I juz reboot my com. Then the same message appears again..May i know wat happened to my com.PLEASE HELP ME...:'(
    My spec:
    msi K7T turbo2 MS-6330 bios ver 3.6
    AMD athlon xp 2000+
    Asus v7100 Geforce 2 MX400
    2x256 kingston ram(pc133)
    2x20g maxtor hdd
    1xTV tuner card
    1XSb live soundcard

    Try uninstalling the sound card and any other nonessential components. Also, when you uninstall click on the "show hidden" items and remove duplicates. Don't remove anything that you do not know exactly what it is including any marked "unknown" but if you see multiple sound cards or cd-roms, etc. remove them. Then see if you boot ok and gradually reinstall items.

  • [URGENT] MSI K7T Turbo2 patched 3.6 Problem

    SORRY TO POST IT AGAIN ON THIS FORUM.. ITS QUITE URGENT
    Hi! I've been using MSI K7T Turbo2 with my Athlon 1700 XP.
    So far no problem with the configuration.. And I did update the BIOS to v3.6
    However, when I sold the mobo to someone, who's using a Duron 700 processor, he told me that he couldn't get the system to boot. Not even see the startup BIOS screen.
    After that, he tried to clear the CMOS data by jumper and tried restarted, this time everything is fine. But later he found that, with this method, he CAN ONLY BOOT ONCE. Meaning if he saved anything in BIOS, it wont be saved actually. And also after he cleared the CMOS data and reinstalled Windows, when Windows restart the PC, the same old problem occurred (cannot start PC)
    As Duron is running at FSB 100MHz, he did set the jumper J17 closed (100MHz). But same problem happens. Then we suspect that it has something to do with the BIOS patch that I applied (v3.6). Could it be, after applying the bios patch (when I was using Athlon 1700 XP), the bios remembers that the processor is Athlon 1700 XP and does something (eg, removed the 100MHz feature?) that caused the motherboard now DOESN'T boot with Duron 700?
    Any suggestion?
    If so, where can we find the original bios for flashing back to previous version?
    TQ!

    what kind of system specs does the pc now have that he has it?  Is the heatsink mounted properly and is the fan plugged in?  I doubt the PSU should have any problem with that cpu.  How about the ram?  try swapping it out and replacing it.
    I would try removing everything that isn't essential to boot into Windows. Have only the cpu, ONE stick of ram, hard drive, cdrom drive, and graphics card.  Remove modems, NICs, Raid cards, extra ram sticks, extra IDE devices, disable the onboard sound (remember that there are two values to do this with in the BIOS and both must be disabled).  Try booting then.  Then check if you can boot normally.  If so, one of the pieces of hardware you removed is the problem.  If not, something is wrong physically or in the configuration of the remaining hardware.  Give that a go.  If things go okay, plug in one piece of hardware at a time and retry.  You'll hit a snag sooner or later.
    BTW, I don't think the board still thinks an athlon xp 1700+ is still in it.  In the Frequency and voltage controls, you might try setting the FSB, multiplier, and Vcore manually.

  • AthlonXP (2200+) + MSI K7T Turbo2 trouble

    Hi!, i have a huge problem that i can't solve!.  X(
    I have a MSI motherboard (MSI K7T Turbo2), and have bought myself a new CPU. After looking at the newest  BIOS details on the MSI website i desided to buy an AthlonXP 2200+ (1.8GHZ - becomed supported with the latest BIOS update) but now i can't get it to work propebly.
    I downloaded the latest BIOS and flashed it with the accurate flashtool that was included in the .exe file i d/l. and now to my problem:
    My AthlonXP 2200+ works with the standard clockfrequenzy settings in the BIOS configuration but that configuration tells the computer that i only have a AthlonXP 1500+ (1.3GHZ) not 2200+, so then i went to  the MSI website again and looked at the "CPU support" table you had. there is says:
    To get an AthlonXP 2200+ on a K7t Turbo2 motherboard to work, use these settings:
    set the FSB("clock by slightly adjust")=133 and the Ratio(CPU clock ratio)=13.5 and it will work, here's my problem, i can't set the FSB to "133" in my bios, the MAX setting is "132" and i can't choose "13.5" as ratio, only "13", so i tryed using FSB=132 and Ratio=13, but then after my computer rebooted i was forced to "clear the cmos" to get the computer to start again.
    so i must run the CPU as a 1500+ (1.35GHZ) using the standard settings in the frequenzy settings, and that realy sucks :(, the CPU cost me plenty of money and im a poor student with bad ecomomy and your BIOS details said that the CPU was supported ://// please help me!
    This is what my computer outputs directly when booting up: (when the BIOS checks harddrives/cdroms/memory...)
    * Award modular BIOS v6.00 PG
    * W6330VMS V.3.5
    pleease help me!!!!!  X(  X(  X(

    I think you have to remove the jumper "J17" for FSB 133+. Consult you'r manual on where this jumper is located.

  • Help! amd athlon xp 2600

    hello,i have a kt2 combo-L mainboard.. and a amd athlon xp 2600, but it`s been called xp 2000! Why? i can only set the fsb to 133.. dosent my mainboard suport the cpu?

    Use the pinmod to force the processor use a specified FSB (or multiplier
    pinmod guide;  http://www.ocinside.de/go_e.html?/html/workshop/pinmod/amd_pinmod.html
    Use the socket view and the small "hair" of a stripped computer molex wire or similar to short circuit the required pins on the socket.

  • K7t Turbo2 and an AMD Athlon XP 2600+

    I recently flashed the BIOS on my K7t Turbo2 board to the 3.6 version which supports AMD Athlon XP processors up to 2600+.  However, after I installed the new cpu, set the core voltage to 1.65, the multiplier to 11.5 and the DCM value to 166 the computer would not boot.  Instead I received a simple "Beep" then two to three seconds later, another "Beep."  This continues to no avail and it takes almost ten "hard reboots" which is killing my hard disks to even get back into the BIOS configuration, wherein I modified the DCM settings to 133 instead of 166.  Now the computer boots but continues to tell me:
    Unknown Processor at 1533mhz
    When I did get it to run at 1910mhz (notice 1910, not 1917 as it should be), it also said Unknown Processor.  Then, on one of the three ocassions I was actually able to boot the computer at the higher clock speed, none of my drives appeared.  On the second ocassion, the Linux boot process froze and on the third, Windows XP wouldn't boot.  Now, if anyone has any suggestions as to what BIOS settings I can try, or even resetting my BIOS to a previous version, then trying to reflash it, that would be great....  If, however, this is more of an issue with an MSI BIOS patch, please release another version that works.   Thanks much!

    Go with the Tbred 2400+ bud, Thats what i have at the mo in my KT3 Ultra 2C, and with my old MSI ti4200 with 128mb, it kept up with a K7N2 Delta ILSR which is running a Barton 2600+ and an MSI FX5600XT with 256mb (that rig only beats me on the extra test in 2001se and 2003 that the FX card covers).
    Cant wait for my K7N2 Delta ILSR to arrive to go with my Ti4600.
    Should happily blow the Barton rig away  

  • K7T Turbo2, AMD 2600 - wont recognize cpu correctly.

    Hello everyone. Thanks in advance for any help.
    I have the K7T Turbo2 W6330VMS with the latest bios, v3.6. I upgraded from an AMD Athlon +1700 (266 fsb) to a Athlon +2600 (266 fsb). I verified I had flashed the bios before installing the new CPU. I have since cleared the Bios and re-flashed it. Version 3.6 bios was the version that allows the Turbo2 to use +2400 and +2600 cpus.
    Here is my problem: The system shows the CPU as a +2000 on bootup. It is running at 1660mhz, not 2133mhz. My bus is running at 133 mhz.
    I have removed the CPU and verified the correct CPU was installed.
    AMD Athlon, AXDA2600DKV3C.
    I have tried manually changing the multiplier and bus speed, but only drop the cpu speed doing this.
    What do I need to do inorder to get this board to recognize the CPU correctly?
    Thank you.

    AXDA2600DKV3C 2600+ 2133MHz 16x 133fsb is the cpu you need
    notice the 16x multilpier
    your cpu is using a 12.5 multilplier
    AXDA2600DKV3D 2600+ 2083MHz 12.5x 166 fsb
    is what you have despite what any thing says
    the 266 version of the xp 2600 is as rare as rocking horse doings

    Does the speed of the memory make eny difference, mine is 133
    ADDE
    XP2600/266 works great on my T2.  To make sure of which FSB you have, check the last letter of the top line of info on the CPU.  If C then its a 133/266 model, if D then its a 166/333 model.
    Your meyory should be fine.  Whats the specs on your power supply, and are you absolutely sure you have the heatsink mounted correctly?

  • K7T Turbo2 and Athlon XP 2400+

    Hello everyone !
    I have a question about K7T Turbo2 motherboard and BIOS update.
    Here it goes:  I reacently bought Athlon XP 2400+ and installed it on my mobo.
    But after reboot my PCU wasn't recognised and I read on MSI website that I had to
    upgrade my BIOS from 3.5 to 3.6 ( I think, don't remmeber the version ) . So I did that too
    and this time bios showed my CPU as XP 1800+. I said there is something wrong with CPU or
    they gave me a wrong one, but NO. After reading the manual I realised that that XP 2400 uses
    266 insted of 100 ( standard that came with mobo )and that I had to remove J17 jumper to make it
    work and also had to change options in BIOS --> like FBS 133 and multiplier 15  to get XP2400.
    Reason that I'm expling what I did is to let you know what stuff I did before I came to this forum to
    ask a Q. Anyway after all of that fuss PC works and shutdowns OK. But ( yeah there is a but ) now insted
    of starting at once I need to press power button one time -> and you can here power starting and lights
    showing but system not starting. Then I push and hold button for a few sec to shut it down. After
    second push of power button system starts as normal. It looks like it need a bit of warm up ( like my car in winter time ) before it actuali start. Is this a BIOS error becouse it can't start the system with ONE
    push of the button? Never had tha problem with Duron CPU and old BIOS. Need some help ..
    Thanks

    Hi!
    I think I solved your problem! It seems that I had exactly the same problem and the same settings you have. Then, I read this Trouble Shooting Guide at:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=1131&sid=
    which says:
    "As for mulipliers with AMD CPU's, just set them Automatic, as they are hardcoded on the CPU themselves and will allway's be correctly, even if if you think the BIOS doesn't know it."
    So I changed the multiplier from BIOS from 15 to Default, and now it starts up great even at the first time! Even my CPU benchmark score with PCMark2002 free went up from 5195 to 6344 so now it actually works much better than with the multiplier 15!!
    Try this before buying a new PSU and tell if it helps...  
    Regards,

  • K7T - Turbo2 and Athlon 2000+ problem

    Sorry for my english...
    K7T Turbo2 - BIOS 3.6. Problem with Athlon 2000+. I can´t set the multilplier to 12.5, because there is only 12 - 13 step. When i set it to "Default" POST show CPU correctly as Athlon 2000+, but pc can´t be rebooted by ctrl+alt+del. Must be switched off and then on...
    Second thing is... it´s impossible to install win98 or xp - blue death.
    With Duron 1.3 it´s working fine ...

    Hi,
    I don't think ECC memory is supported by the Turbo2, it states "NO support ECC Function" on the MSI info page, look here
    So, I'm not sure that ECC bios function will help you, or what it is really there for.
    But, I guess this opinion will not explain why you said it will work with an duron 1.3
    Another thing is that the XP2000 uses more power than the duron 1.3, so your PSU sounds a bit weak for the XP2000 cpu;
    PSU 300W
    5V - 24A
    12V - 10A
    3.3V - 14A

  • K7t turbo2/amd XP 1800! ack! help!

    i recently bought a k7t turbo2 (ms-6330) to go with my amd xp 1800, im running 2x 512 and 1x 256 ram under winblows ME. and ever since day 1, i have random lockups when i try to move or copy files in windows, but if i use dos-prompt i can transfer files just fine...  also when i try to shutdown or reboot i get error from windows.   i have tried underclocking the cpu, swapping out the ram... i have installed all the most current drivers for everything and i am clueless what else to try...   i got a 300w amd certified psu, 20gig maxtor along with a 20gig seagate for drives.  i have disabled the onboard sound as well as the printer/serial ports... i run bare bones windows setup with no junk in the backround... have 3 case fans and amd certified cpu fan so i have eliminated temp problems, it happens whether the machine is warm or cold... i even tried upgrading the bios to 3.5 to no prevail...   i have no issues running any of my games from halflife to quake to diablo to everquest...  other than these 2 isuues, my systems just blazes with no issues...
    any ideas?

    Yank out some of that ram, like the 512k stick and then try it out . ME doesn't need all that to function. BIGDADDY51CT.USA

  • MSI K7T Turbo2 Boot Problems

    I recently setup a computer with this board.  It is a AMD Athlon XP 1700, 256mb pc133, 40GB HD, Geforce4 MX440, Sound Blaster Live, and a 300watt power supply.  
    I set everything up and turned it on and the led's in the back were all red and the machine was making a clicking sound.  I disesembled it checked everything resasembled it and the same thing happened.  Is the board bad or the processor?  Any suggestions?  I need to know if I need a RA on the processor or the motherboard.  

    thing is all they care is that psu will run their xp
    they do not also chuck in high end high power drawing video cards
    nvidia will tell you a 250 watt psu is good enough for a gf4 but not what cpu was in system as well
    but then they probabley use a 300 celeron whilst proving it not an xp 2400 and bare bones on the rest

  • AMD Athlon XP 2600 misreading as XP 1800

    I just bought a XP 2600 http://www.cbitcanada.com/mb/retail_productdetail.asp?Cat=8&SubCat=213&ProdNo=CPU-A33-043 and when my friend installed it, it read as a 1800. I looked for some solutions like setting the freq/vol control to a different setting a JP3 jumper which my friend couldn't find and resetting the multiplier to 12.5/13, none of them worked. Here's a link to my motherboard http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K7T266_Pro2U&class=mb any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If the motherboard doesn't support it then overclocking it to a much higher speed will put a lot of strain on it and might fry it. It's easier to buy a new Socket A mobo as they cost little these days.
    For example the MSI K7N2 Delta2-LSR Nforce2 from http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/MSI_Socket_A.html is just £41.07 and will enable your cpu to operate at the correct speed with no need of overclocking and will be more comfortable, stable and reliable with no risk of frying the motherboard.
    I suggest you think about purchasing a new mobo though you might also want to look at a Via chipset if your PSU specs are under 16A on the +12V rail and your RAM is picky and/or not nForce approved. The MSI KT6V-LSR or similar is a good Via chipset board.

Maybe you are looking for
