PSU recommendations for KT6 Delta

What are the recommendations for a PSU for the KT6 Delta? After reading some of the posts here, it sounds like the Fortron/Sparkle 350W I got is probably causing the problems I'm having. I would prefer something on the quieter side (hence the Fortron with the 12cm fan ). Also, I will eventually want to upgrade to an XP 3200+.
Thanks!

This is part of what Wonka answered to a P.S question: "antec enermax pc power and cooling 430 watts and up " Of course it all depends on what hardware you are going to use, but if you are planning an XP3200+ i can bet for a big one 450-500W
Now, the most important part you have to pay attention is the AMPS to 3.3v 5v. and 12v. They should be more than 30A. to 3.3 and 5v. and more than 25A to 12v.

[VIA] Problems with MSI KT6 Delta

MSI KT6 Delta
AMD XP 2000+
256 MB DDR 400
GeForce FX5200 128 MB DDR
I installed WinXP+SP1 and VIA4in1 v4.55 with NVIDIA 66.93 drivers. The screen fades out and in less than a second the picture shows up again.
Note: What should appear in device manager in section "System devices" after installing VIA4in1 v4.55?
I tried: changing video card, RAM memory, installing WinXP+SP2 (worse results!)
Thanks in advance

The system reports no errors nor conflicts in Device Manager window. This problem appeared when I did an upgrade from WinXP SP1 to SP2. I use Fedora Core on the same computer with NVIDIA drivers installed and there were no problems. I tried to change the monitor but it was the same. I think I managed to solve the problem by installing WinXP SP1 and an older NVIDIA driver (version 4.5.2.3) and VIA 4in1 pack 4.55. Everything runs smooth for now.

PCI/AGP divider for KT6 Delta

hi,
i want to ask at which FSB does the divider for the KT6 Delta motherboard kicks in?
I'm trying to overclock an AMD XP 2400+ without unlocking the multiplier.
Thanks

thanks, i had just tried out the pin-mod guide which allows me to choose other multipliers...now my system is clocked at 2255mhz with 13.5x and 166mhz.
however, i think my maxtor Sata drive didn't like the increased speed. I was greeted with some disk errors but i was able to start winxp normally, run programs as usual. Any help in this?

Bios 5.4 for KT6 Delta causes instability!

Hi all,
I just wanted to warn those using the KT6 Delta to hold off on flashing there bios with the file the MSI German site has released. I awoke this morning to a booted up machine(wierd as I shut it down the night before)I thought no harm no foul, but lo and behold my machine had completely frozen wierd as it hasn't every done that never even had a crashes or BSODs I rebooted it was fine for most of the day until I was doing some surfing, and the machine froze once more. That's the not the end yet I rebooted, and this time it froze during the os load I switched it off kinda annoyed a 3 grand machine with quality parts shouldn't do this.
I turned on my laptop placed bios 5.2 on a floppy hooked up my usb floppy to my desktop, and proceded to flash bios 5.2 which did the trick hasn't faltered yet rock solid. While it's probably not an issue everyone might have I'd wait until the Taiwan site releases the bios update and then flash there must be a reason why we haven't seen the update on any of the other sites.

Much Appreciated for the info on the New bios
sorry that you had to go thought that trouble just to find that out!
I try to wait for new drivers etc, to come this website before I play with expensive hardware,
:evil:I would be pissed to see anything happen to my pc's just cause of some Beta driver?
Oh well, thats life Eh!
Thanks again for the heads up

RAM for KT6 Delta-LSR

I'm currently running 2 x 512MB of DDR400 in my old KT6 Delta-LSR, and I want to upgrade to a total of either 2GB or 3GB.
Since this motherboard can only handle 2 slots of DDR400, I guess I'll be throwing out my existing ram, and starting from scratch.
I've just looked on the Kingston site, and they say that the KT6 Delta-LSR can only handle 1GB of DDR400.
So I can't simply buy 2 x 1GB sticks of DDR400? Is this right?
Quote
Maximum Memory: 1 GB using 400MHz DDR modules
http://tinyurl.com/yl74qbe
Should I just play it safe and get 2 x 1GB DDR333, leaving me the option of filling all 3 slots in the future?

If you're only running at 333ddr you may be able to run 3GB. But pc3200 will run at either 333 or 400, so you may as well get pc3200 and downclock it.
The board may not like 400ddr with all slots filled. I would get a matched 2x1GB kit, preferably low latency but not essential and just fill the outer slots. The kit may come in useful on an Nforce2, Nforce3 or similar higher performance platform although it's all getting a bit dated now.

Via 4 in 1 Drivers and Bios for KT6 Delta

Below is my current setup. My machine either freezes or shuts down when I try to install the Via 4 in 1. Any suggestions?
Also, what Bios should I load? I've heard of problems with the most recent release.
What is everyone else using and what do you recommend?
Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you have installed the right VIA drivers (they're are different driver types for different system setups)? Sounds like you have put on the wrong VIA drivers.
The VIA drivers that you should use can be found on the MSI website:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=474
Always look under the driver section and you will find all the suitable and current driver updates for VIA chipsets for your motherboard.
Hope that helps, Richard.

KT6-Delta bios 5.7 problem

hi I've recently installed an update on the bios on my motherboard (update 5.7 for kt6-delta)
and ever since i installed it my internet won't connect, it detects the drivers but the internet can't send the pass username to mts.
is this a known bug? or was there just an error installing the update and should rewrite the bios possibly with an earlier update or is there some other problem i might not have considered because every time i install bios updates it resets my preferences in the bios

Hello,
Are you saying that the LAN appears to be working but no Data flows in or out?
All network activity is dead?
I have had this problem too on my KT6 delta.
When you flash the BIOS it changes the memory and CPU settings.
Also after a BIOS flash you should clear the CMOS using the Jbat jumper.
(turn PC off to do this)
If you enter the BIOS and disable the LAN,
DO your CPU and memory settings,
save and exit.
Go into windows, delete the lan from device manager
restart PC, it should be gone.
Then restart again, enter the BIOS enable the LAN, save and exit.
windows so detect it again, does it now work?

[VIA] KT6 Delta hangs when I install SATA disk

I've had a lot of problems with my PC - maybe related to the mobo, maybe not. I have a KT6 Delta LSR - and was running XP SP2 with a SATA disk on it. Not RAID - just standalone. It ran OK for about 4 months, then it crashed hard. For the last two weeks I'm trying to get my system back, but its not looking good. I think the CPU or mobo overheated - it was running about 62C - then I installed a new CPU fan and tried to render a DVD when it locked up and apparently wrecked my disk. I bought a brand new SATA disk and a new IDE disk. I installed XP fresh on the IDE disk. That runs OK. I removed the "old" disk (4 months old) from the system and installed a brand new SATA disk. But when I install the VIA SATA drivers, XP falls apart. By that I mean it can take up to 45 minutes to boot up (with an Athlon 3000+, 1Gb memory) and it acts VERY sluggish when I do finally get in.
I don't know what to do. I'd like to try to recover data from my "old" disk to the new SATA disk, but the SATA drivers make working in XP impossible. I have bought a new motherboard - an ABIT board that supports SATA, but I hate to go to the trouble of replacing the mobo, if the problem is with SATA. Maybe SATA is not ready for general use yet? Is it still being developed and maybe it is generally unstable? As long as I'm, with IDE, everything seems stable. What should I do to get data off my SATA drive? I'm sorry I ever went SATA, that's for sure. Never again.
Should I install XP on the new SATA drive like I did back in May and see if I can get data off the "old" drive - then maybe copy it to a network location somewhere? I have two fairly new 250 Gb. SATA drives that are basically useless. Unbelievable.

I did not change the CPU. Just the CPU's fan. I did not reset the CMOS after doing that. I have a Thermaltake power supply and 1GB of Corsair DDR 4000 - 2x512mb.
In another post, I found a link to a post at Western Digital where WDC claims that the disk I have is the next generation of SATA and may not be compatible with the chipset in the MSI motherboard. They recommend to jumper two pins on the disk to help out. The only thing is that my WDC disk has been running OK since May and is the one that recently crashed. I bought a Seagate SATA disk to try to restore my system to, but whenever I hook up the Seagate, the system takes over an hour to boot up. Without the Seagate it takes a few minutes. I think that maybe the Seagate is also too new for this motherboard.
I don't know how the consumer is supposed to know if a disk is compatible with a motherboard. I bought a SATA disk to use in a SATA equipped motherboard. Apparently newer versions of SATA are not backwards compatible but there is no easy way to know this in advance or to find out if your disk will work.

[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.

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 :(

[VIA] Problem with Creative X-FI on KT6 Delta FI2SR

Hi all
I have a KT6 Delta FI2SR with 1GB PC3200 400MHz DDR, and an Athlon 3200XP+, running BIOS 5.7 (latest).
I recently bought and added a Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS soundcard, and I have an issue....
The card was installed, is on IRQ19 (no conflicts anywhere with sound), and on-board sound is disabled.
Randomly, on cold boot, I get told "NVRAM Update OK", and then I get NO SOUND!
It stays like that until I reboot and it "Updates" again, or I clear the NVRAM in BIOS.
LOTS of people on the Creative Forum have reported similar issues with ASUS Mobos, and nForce chipsets, but this is an MSI with VIA!
ALL (and I do mean ALL) device drivers are up to date....
Can someone @ MSI look into this? ASUS have resolved their issue with BIOS updates, but nothing for this board for a while!
I've tried mailing MSI support BUT [email protected] AND [email protected] get SMTP failures (no known username).

I would hope the PSU is fine - it's a 620 watt PSU which I bought when I installed a GeForce 6800GT
Both motherboard power connectors are connected up. PSU has two outgoing rails, with 3 main Molex and 1 mini (floppy) adaptor on each rail.
In the machine we have :
1 x Asus V9999GT GeForce 6800GT AGP 8x card (with dual molex connectors)
1 x Creative X-FI Fatal1ty FPS PCI card
1 x Adaptec 29040UW SCSI controller PCI card
2 x 80GB Maxtor 7200RPM SATA HDD drives (as one RAID0 array)
1 x Creative Fatal1ty FPS front bay (powered - small connector)
1 x MSI Dual-Layer DVD+RW Drive
1 x HP Surestore 12/24 DDS3 DAT Drive
1 x Panasonic LS-120 HDD Floppy Drive
1 x IOMega ZIP 250 ATAPI Drive
Logitech cordless keyboard & mouse on PS2 connectors
COM1 has a trackball
COM2 is a signal cable for a Liebert Powersure UPS
LPT1 is disabled (I have a networked printer)
7 of 8 USB slots are currently in use : (Joystick, Bluetooth adaptor, Fuji 6900Z Camera, Primefilm 35mm film scanner (own power), HP Jornada 568 PDA (own power), Logitech QuickCam Home webcam, Wacom Graphire Tablet)
CPU fan is powered and adjustable, and the case has 7 controllable fans.
There is a SCSI scanner (own power) and the 17" LCD monitor connected (on it's own power) as well, and thats it.
I've disabled the Case LED (which was also powered).
Obviously there are a couple of power splitters in there to supply power to the various internals

Single SATA drive with VIA VT8237 Chipset (KT6 Delta-FIS2R) ?

After the installation of one (!) 120GB MAXTOR SATA drive on the VIA Southbridge,
partitioning, formating and installation of Win 98 SE I face the following problem:
- Under ControlPanel-> System-> DeviceManager there is a missing driver for the
SATA RAID Controller
- After installation of the VIA SATA/RAID-driver and rebooting,
Windows get stucked (obviously because no RAID-array is defined)
- Afer rebooting the second time, one can find in the DeviceManager a VIA SCSI
Entry that says driver is not started anymore because of faillure
- Under ControlPanel-> System-> SystemPerformance one found the information
that the SATA drive is running in MS-DOS compatibility mode because of a not
started driver
Question(s):
Is there a driver for the VIA SATA interface that will work with a single drive or
is the only workaround at the moment the use of the "slower" promise controller?
Or is it still a BIOS problem (That one can not install an "dummy-array" with a single drive) ?
KT6 Delta-FIS2R with BIOS 5.2

Me too - regarding "slower" performance, but my only source was a VIA article...
(http://www.via.com.tw/en/southbridge/vt8237_drivestation.jsp)
(...but there must be a reason why MSI build in the additional Promise-controller)
Thanks for quick information!

MSI KT6 Delta( Via KT600) works with mobiles???

Hello, just bought today a used cpu, it's a Athlon XP mobile 2000+ for my MSI KT6 DELTA...
It just won't boot... i turns on and off after a second or less...
Is this an unsupported cpu??
I've searched on teh msi page for cpu support, and I have my doubts...
Here's what's qritten on the CPU Core: AXMH2000FQQ3C
For waht i understand it's a Thoroughbred/barton based cpu, 45W, works at 1667MHz, with FSB Autodetect, deafault V, 1.45, max temp 100º C, 256kb cache, 266 MHz bus...
It's said on the main page of this board, that it's supports 400MHz FSB's...
HELP PLEASE!!!

Quote
HELLO??? IT SIMPLY DOESN'T RUNS!!!
you expecting help adopting that tone?
lose the sarcasm and the caps lock and you more likely to get advice
For what it is worth you are not making yourself clear.
For example:- Quote
It just won't boot... i turns on and off after a second or less...
Quote
and to turn it back on with the cpu, i have to clear cmos data...
Let's assume cpu is correctly greased and seated; when you power on get no response (psu fan, cpu fan, case fan, beeps?) unless you clear cmos and then once you do that you get 1 sec of activity before system powers down?
have you put old cpu back in and still works?
i guess you will know more when you test new cpu elsewhere

[VIA] How to make WOL work on KT6 Delta FSR?

Hi.
i've got MSI KT6 Delta-LSR motherboard (with ethernet network card on board), but i cannot make WOL (WakeOnLan) work. I don't know if the reason could be in misconfigured BIOS or the network card itself doesn't support WOL.
i have WinXP Pro and i have set "Wake Up Capabalities" to "Magic Frame" on network card in Device Manager, but WOL still doesn't work.
how and what to set up to make WOL work?

Quote from: Fredrik Åsenius on 06-June-05, 07:43:08
"The network's card..." Do you have an external card? If so move it to another PCI slot. I haven't the manual in front of me, but isn't there a place where to attach a cable from the NIC to the mobo? On my old ASUS I know there is one.
You must also in BIOS, under Boot/Boot sequence, have LAN as one of the options. I don't know if it should be before hard disk, maybe first, or after.
What is the name and amperes of your PSU?
Edit: You don't think it is much info., but that was what I was thinking about when I said so. You should also find something about it - I'm not sure - in where the mobo layout and all its connections is described.
http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article04-101
"The network's card..." - I mentioned it is onboard NIC (not extra PCI card)
Man, I don't what's your point. My initial question was, that WOL doesn't work (everything else is fine). I really don't think that it could be in PSU since PC has to be shut down to "use" WOL. (I bought case with PSU inside, so I don't know the "name", but it is ATX 2.03 copliant)
You mentioned ASUS? Fine, but we're talking about MSI in MSI forum.
Why do you think, that boot sequence has something to do with WOL?
