Re: Super socket 7 Cache unstable? MSI MS5169
Update, with bios v2.7 and a K6-2 400 the board is quite stable. Until I want to start a graphics benchmark, the PC crashes. (3dmark 2000 and others)
I have now replaced all the capacitors. The board is now more stable. I can start a graphics benchmark (3dmark 2000) and it goes a long way. But it is not completely stable. Unfortunately, a different PSU does not help either.
I'm not sure what to do now. Should i take a oscilloscoop? What are the points to mesure?
PS: With Bios 3.3: IDE controller...

Re: Super socket 7 Cache unstable? MSI MS5169
With bios V3.3 I can no longer start memtest 86+. Win XP starts, but futumark crashes immediately.
When I read the notes of V3.3, I read the following:
MS-5169 A569MS33 BIOS Release
-----------------------------
1. This is the AMI(r) BIOS ver 3.3 release.
2. This is only for PCB version 2.1, 3.0 and 4.0
3. The BIOS fixes the ff. problems of the previous version:
- Fixed Windows98 SE Standby problem
- Support AMD(R)...

Re: Super socket 7 Cache unstable? MSI MS5169
I found Bios V3.3 for mainbord v2.1. Let's try that.

Re: Super socket 7 Cache unstable? MSI MS5169
Mmm with this old bios I run into another problem. My AMD K6-2 500Mhz is seen by the bios as a 350Mhz processor. Windows 98SE is very unstable when I have it set to 500Mhz. It seems stable at 350Mhz. I'm afraid this bios version supports a maximum of 350Mhz....
I think I need to modify the latest bios and I hope that I can add the cache latency setting.Last edited by jhead22; 10-14-2023, 07:27 AM.

Re: Super socket 7 Cache unstable? MSI MS5169
Unfortunately, there is no option in the BIOS to adjust the cache latency.
But I think I found the solution. I downgraded the bios from version 3.1 to version 2.3. And so far I don't get any errors in memtest with the cache enabled. It seems that BIOS version 3.1 is not stable and version 2.3 is stable.

Super socket 7 Cache unstable? MSI MS5169
A while ago I was able to save a super socket 7 board from the landfill. It is a MSI MS5169 ver 2.1 with an Alladin V chipset. There is 512KB L2 cache onboard and the board has Chhsi caps. I tested the board with different AMD K6-2 processors and different PC133 memory modules. The board is equipped with the latest BIOS version.
The board is completely stable on 66FBS with the cache enabled. At 100fsb the board is only stable with the cache memory disabled. No memory errors. With the cache enabled at 100fsb I get errors in Memtest 86+ 4.xx and 5.xx
I therefore replaced...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here
Hi, I'm Jonathan from the Netherlands.
I'm working on a MSI MS5169 super socket 7 mainbord with AMD K6-2 500 and PC133 memory. It has some troubles with the cache. The board is stable with the external cache disabled, but unstable with cache enabled @ 100FSB. At 66FSB with cache enabled it is stable. The bord has Chhsi caps. I desolder a few and tested them. The messurement is ok. ESR and value are good. I'm wondering if replacing all the caps will fix it, or are the cache chips on the mainbord defect. I did already change...
