Titolo: ASUS TX97 XE E AMD K6 2 350 Mhz

Salve ,
ho provato ad installare la CPU AMD K6-2 a 350 Mhz sulla
scheda madre Asus TX-XE con Bios aggiornato
alla versione 0111 che č l'ultima disponibile sul sito Asus.
Le note all'upgrade del bios dicono che cosě supporta
la CPU AMD.
Ho settato i jumper di alimentazione e frequenza come da istruzioni.
VDO 0  ==
VDO 1 1 & 2
VDO 2 ==
Questo per i 2,2 volt
e
BF0    1&2
BF1     2&3
BF2     2&3
questo per il moltiplicatore dei 66 Mhz a 5X
Non va. Non parte proprio.
Qualcuno ha qualche consiglio ?
Grazie

AMD-K6-2 and AMD-K6 Q+A  Document (Last Update December 17, 1998)
AMD cannot comment on any motherboards or whether they support AMD
processors correctly or not. Although a motherboard may "support" AMD-K6,
this does not necessarily guarantee it adheres to the AMD-K6 specifications.
Please check the AMD Web site for a list of "AMD Tested" motherboards. For
information on individual motherboards, please contact the motherboard
manufacturer or vendor/representative DIRECTLY. This document should contain
all the information you need.
Please use the information contained in this document to check whether your
motherboard has the correct processor support.
AMD do not produce BIOS upgrades. Please contact your motherboard
manufacturer/representative for such an upgrade. If no BIOS upgrade
for the AMD-K6 and your specific motherboard is available, then try
one of the third party BIOS vendors.
DOES YOUR MOTHERBOARD SUPPORT THE AMD-K6 or K6-2 PROCESSOR?
The following requirements are necessary for K6 support:
Motherboard should be 321 pin "Socket 7" or "Super7" compatible (P55C).
Motherboard should support dual voltage (I/O --- core) :
K6-166/200 - 3.3V +300mV/-165mV --- 2.9V +/- 145mV
K6-233 - 3.3V +300mV/-165mV --- 3.2V +/- 100mV
K6-266 - 3.3V +300mV/-165mV --- 2.2V +/- 100mV
K6-300 - 3.45V   +/- 150mV  --- 2.2V +/- 100mV
K6-2/266 - 3.3V +300mV/-165mV --- 2.2V +/- 100mV
K6-2/300 - 3.3V +300mV/-165mV --- 2.2V +/- 100mV
K6-2/333 - 3.3V +300mV/-165mV --- 2.2V +/- 100mV
K6-2/350 - 3.3V +300mV/-165mV --- 2.2V +/- 100mV
K6-2/366 - 3.3V +300mV/-165mV --- 2.2V +/- 100mV
K6-2/380 - 3.3V +300mV/-165mV --- 2.2V +/- 100mV
K6-2/400 - 3.3V +300mV/-165mV --- 2.2V +/- 100mV
Motherboards that do not fully support the AMD-K6 or K6-2 Processor,
an upgrade kit is recommended.
Motherboard should support correct jumper settings :
CPUSpeed Bus Frequency\Clock Multiplier (Pins)
166MHz 66MHz 2.5x (BF0=0, BF1=0, BF2=1)
200MHz 66MHz 3.0x (BF0=1, BF1=0, BF2=1)
233MHz 66MHz 3.5x (BF0=1, BF1=1, BF2=1)
266MHz 66MHZ 4.0x (BF0=0, BF1=1, BF2=0)
300MHz 66MHz 4.5x (BF0=0, BF1=0, BF2=0)
K6-2/266 66MHz 4.0x (BF0=0, BF1=1, BF2=0)
K6-2/300 100MHz 3.0x (BF0=1, BF1=0, BF2=1)
k6-2/300 /66 66Mhz 4.5x (BF0=0, BF1=0, BF2=0)
K6-2/333 95MHz 3.5x (BF0=1, BF1=1, BF2=1)
K6-2/333 /66 66MHz 5.0x
K6-2/350 100MHz 3.5x (BF0=1, BF1=1, BF2=1)
K6-2/366 66MHz 5.5x (BF0=1, BF1=0, BF2=0)
K6-2/380 95MHz 4.0x (BF0=0, BF1=1, BF2=0)
K6-2/400 100MHz 4.0x (BF0=0, BF1=1, BF2=0)
Note, on motherboards that do not support the 3.5x clock multiplier,
BF0=1 and BF1=1 should correspond to a jumper setting of a 1.5x
multiplier (please check this with the motherboard representative).
Voltage Regulator must supply correct voltage/currents for 6th Generation
CPU (AMD-K5, Pentium and Pentium + MMX are 5th generation processors).
Recommended, is a switched regulator over the standard linear voltage
regulator (this is especially important for Model 7 233MHz CPU).
Higher demand on the regulator results in more heat being generated.
The regulator must have an adequate heatsink for heat transfer away from
the regulator IC.
If your motherboard uses a VRM (Voltage Regulator Module), make sure it
adheres to the AMD power specification.
CPU Speed/Type Supply Current Typical Power Max Power
AMD-K6-166/Model 6 Icc2=6.25A 10.3W 17.2W
AMD-K6-200/Model 6 Icc2=7.5A 12.0W 20.0W
AMD-K6-233/Model 6 Icc2=9.5A 17.0W 28.3W
AMD-K6-266/Model 7 Icc2=7.05A 8.75W 14.55W
AMD-K6-300/Model 7 Icc2=7.49A 9.25W 15.4W
AMD-K6-2/266/Model 8 Icc2=7.35A 8.85W 14.7W
AMD-K6-2/300/Model 8 Icc2=8.45A 10.35W 17.2W
AMD-K6-2/333/Model 8 Icc2=9.4A 11.40W 19.00W
AMD-K6-2/350/Model 8 Icc2=9.85A 11.98W 19.95W
Note: Icc2 is the cpu core current supply.
AMD has tested heatsinks for the 166/200/233 model 6. As you can see from
the typical power figures above, a heatsink/fan approved for a K6-200 should
in general be acceptable for all model 7 and 8 cpus. Always use thermal
paste and please check with the heatsink reseller/manufacturer for the
heatsink specification first!
BIOS must support the AMD-K6 processor correctly. The BIOS should
recognize the AMD-K6 processor and speed grade. The BIOS must support
the "Write Allocate" feature. Check that there is an option in the BIOS
settings to "Enable/Disable Write Allocate". Please contact the motherboard
manufacturer for BIOS upgrades. Do not contact AMD.
Please contact your motherboard vendor for information on their products
or check our "tested" motherboard list on 
www.amd.com
.
OVERCLOCKING AND UNDERCLOCKING
There is no guarantee of correct and reliable operation of the K6 and K6-2
Processor, if these are jumpered (overclocked, underclocked) differently
from
the settings listed above. Incorrect setting of core and I/O voltage
jumpers can result in damaging the cpu.
Using bus frequencies other than 66MHz and 100MHz will cause the PCI bus to
operate at a different frequence than 33MHz, which may cause problems with
certain PCI cards.
Note that the K6-2 (100MHz) Processors will operate at a Bus Frequency of
100MHz and
66MHz.
3D NOW
All K6-2 processors have 3dNow instructions.
In order to use these instructions the software must be optimized 3dNow.
21 new instructions to accelerate floating point and MMX.
Software and drivers need to be optimized for 3D Now  to take advantage
of these new instructions.
Microsoft's DirectX 6 supports 3D Now.

QUAKE II Optimized for 3D NOW
Software patches, installation instructions and FAQ can be downloaded from:
http://www.amd.com/products/cpg/k623d/drivers.html
DOES THE AMD-K6 or K6-2 SUPPORT THE SMP (DUAL/MULTIPROCESSOR) STANDARD ?
The AMD-K6 and K6-2 do not support Dual Processing.
DOES THE AMD-K6 and K6-2  PROCESSOR SUPPORT MMX?
To accelerate multimedia performance, the AMD-K6 processor family feature
high-performance, INDUSTRY STANDARD multimedia extensions (MMX).
A standard set of 57 instructions, MMX is designed to enable the latest
multimedia software - from audio to video to 3D graphics -to run faster
on your PC.
BIOS INFORMATION
BIOS upgrades are only available from the motherboard manufacturer.
Alternatively, contact a third party BIOS vendor:
http://www.ping.be/BIOS/bios.html
http://www.amd.com/products/cpg/k5/bio-upgrade.html
In general:
For AMD-K6 166/200/233 CPU:
AMI CPU Module 3.31
Award date Code 1 MAR 97 or later
Phoenix Version 4.0 or release 6.0 and 5.1/7 APR97 or later
For AMD-K6 266/300 CPU:
AMI CPU Module 4.0 or later
Award date code 1 DEC 97 or later
All K6-2 processors that have the Chomper-XT (CXT) core
need specific support for write allocation.
Use the CT magazine utility "setk6.exe" to check whether
your existing BIOS supports CXT write allocation.
This can be found at 
http://www.heise.de/ct/ftp/pcconfig.shtml
The file is called setk6v2.zip.
To distinguish between Chomper and Chomper-XT processors
read the code on the edge of the ceramic:
26050 is a Chomper core processor,
26351 is a Chomper-XT core processor.

CPU MARKINGS:
The K6 Processor is marked as follows:
K6-xxx (where xxx is MHz)
Initially, AMD also marked there products as follows:
K6-PR2/xxx (where xxx is MHz). This marking was to follow on form the PR
marking of the K5 Processor. So you will see both types of Processor on the
market. Please note, both processor are identical.
The K6-2 Processor is marked as follows:
AMD-K6-2
AMD-K6-2/xxx yyy
zzz Core/ www I/O
<Revision and Date Code>
All processors carry the "Designed for Microsoft" Logo, and will have a
white laser marked "box" and processor speed in the bottom left hand corner
Latest version of the K6-2 processors (July 1998 onwards) are now completely
Laser marked, and do not contain the "White laser marked box and speed
grade" as described above.
THERMAL SOLUTIONS:
Unless otherwise stated (see Ordering part Number on CPU, see below) the K6
and K6-2 case temperature should be within 0-70 degrees C.
List of tested heatsinks can be found:
http://www.amd.com/products/cpg/k5/thermals/k86thermals.html
The AMD-K6 is a 6th generation CPU and requires 6th generation heatsink
and fan. Check the AMD Website for a list of "AMD Tested" Thermal Solutions.
We always recommend using thermal grease/paste between heatsink and CPU.
The K6-2 processor is a 0.25u process, and hence do not get as hot as
previous 0.35u processors (166,200,233). So heatsinks that have been
approved for K6-200 and K6-233 processor should cool the K6-2 processor
adaquately. Check max power dissipation figures for K6-2 and compare them
with those for the K6. Then check our list for K6 approved heatsinks.
Exception: AMD-K6-2/350 Processor:
The AMD-K6-2/350 processor, launched on Aug. 27, 1998, is being
specified for two Tcase parameters, namely 70*C Tcase max (OPN:
AMD-K6-2/350AFR) and 60*C Tcase max (OPN: AMD-K6-2/350AFQ).
The 60*C Tcase K6-2/350 will require a more robust thermal solution to
ensure that the processor temperature is maintained below 60*C. OEMs
planning to use the 60*C Tcase K6-2/350 should use one of the recommended
heatsink solutions listed below (refer to
http://www1.amd.com/products/cpg/thermals/
 for vendor contact information).

A proposito di: "Re: ASUS TX97 XE E AMD K6 2 350 Mhz", blibo scriveva:
  >come dice l'AMD ci vogliono i 100 Mhz con il 350 !!
E allora perche' AMD avrebbe inserito le seguenti due righe nel messaggio di cui
sopra?
  >Note that the K6-2 (100MHz) Processors will operate at a Bus Frequency of
  >100MHz and 66MHz.
