KT3 Ultra-ARU (Chipset fan problem)

Hi!
I have a motherboard from MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU with AMD Athlon XP2000.
I bought last year ago, I have a problem now.  My chipset fan that is on the motherboard is not working good anymore it makes lots of damm sound.
Please help me I don't know if there is any garanty to this motherboard or where I can buy this tiny chipset fan.

Its a northbridge cooler
for a low cost solution (ie not having to by an IceBurg cooler to replace it) contact MSI France

  • MSI KT3 Ultra ARU Mem timing problems?

    As experienced by myself as well as Maximum PC Magazine during testing. Using high quality memory such as Samsung PC2700 DDR on the MSI KT3 Ultra ARU, if you set the cas latency timings to the most agressive settings, next time you try to boot into Windows, your OS crashes and the registry gets corrupted. Also the board actually interprets CAS 2.5 memory as CAS 2. I am sure a BIOS update will fix this problem, however who else has had this problems?

  • MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU power supply problem

    Hello !
    I am a lucky owner of MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU motherboard but have one problem. My power supply Fortron (FSP Group) 300-GT 300W seems to have some kind of incompatibility with this motherboard. In my case, the computer can't be shutted down by software. With BIOS version 2.5 it was impossible to shut it down with button too. With 2.6 it is possible to turn the computer off by button but software shutdown still don't work. PSU is working on ALL other boards I have tested so far normally. Somewhere in discussions (not in this forums) I discovered that also some kind of weird sounds occurs with Fortron supply on this board and that it is incompatible. Have anyone some clues to solve this PSU problem ? I am not able momentally to buy some other kind of PSU because Fortron is the only brand from higher category to obtain, so I would be like to solve this.....
    Thanks for any info !

    PSU is powering Athlon XP 1700+ processor, the other big power consumer is GeForce4 Ti 4200 GPU. I am not able read currents for specific voltage outputs, so I am not able to measure whole power consumption. Computer is working normally, it is NOT overclocked (but it is stable overclocked too) and the only problem is PSU shutdown by software (win & linux, both of them has this problem). From BIOS v2.6 it is possible to shutdown the computer by power button. If it is tried by software, computer resets itself and three beeps occurs.

  • MSI KT3 Ultra ARU 2 fan speed controlling

    Hi, i'd like to know if is it possible to control the fan speed via software with this motherboard. I've try with Speedfan, but it seems to have no effect :( .

    Hi,
    Sorry, it's not possible.

  • MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU + All In Wonder Problem

    I've got a odd problem that is related to putting my machine into Standby.  If I do so the night before, then wake the system up in the morning I see issues that point to memory corruption or driver failure or a conflict with the VIA chipset.  Outlook Express will lock up on launch, the ATI digital VCR app will either not launch or fail to shutdown if it does.  I clean installed Windows XP, then updated it with XP SP1.  Of note is that the video card works ok with the OS supplied driver but if you install the ATI drivers (which are needed to make the TV and Digital VCR work) this stuff happens.  I have reinstalled several times so I am pretty sure this isn't just a messy config issue.  I've had bad experiences similar to this with VIA chipset mobos in the past so this doesn't surprise me.
    Anyone ever see this?  Know of a fix?

  • KT3 Ultra-ARU SB Live! problem when using onboard Promise MBFasttrak 1

    Hello !
    I have one little problem with my motherboard. I know it's a little bit older compared to today's MSI production.. I have a MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU motherboard. I used only VT8233A southbridge's IDE until now, and everything worked perfectly. But now, I bought two Maxtor 80GB disks and placed them to a onboard Promise MBFasttrak 133 Lite (PDC20276) RAID in stripping mode. Everything works, except Soundblaster Live!. The soundcard itself works normally, but when I start to copy some files (and have some MP3's or video's running) the audio gets distorted in rythm with data transfer. I checked IRQs or address spaces, but IDE is on another IRQ than any other device, the same is address space. Had anyone the same experience with this "problem" ? Please let me know...
    My configuration:

    Hi,
    I think you should install at least the VIA RPP patch (http://www.viaarena.com), maybe also the patch from http://www.georgebreese.com.

  • MSI KT3 ultra aru Western Digital 200GB raid problem

    Hi!
    This is what I've got.
    KT3 Ultra-ARU (MS-6380E)
    AMD 2000+
    256 MB 333mhz RAM (AMD Compatible)

    And the Software:
    I've updated all the software drivers so I've got the newest and I'm currently runnign Win2k SP3 with almost every patch installed on it.
    And finally the problem:
    When I've hook my WD2000JB to the on-board raid everything seems to be working normaly. The bios finds the drive and makes a new array. Win2k boots up and finds the drive and I can create an partition. But when I've try to format it it the computer starts to freeze for a while and then acts like normal again. The HDD-led blinks as it should during the "normal" time, but when the comp. freezes it stops blinking. The formatation stops at 7% and the HDD-led stops lighting. I don't get an error eventhough it was several hours since it stoped. And the formatation takes like 30min for 1%.
    When I connect the WD2000JB to the IDE3 I can format it and it acts just like normal. I even did a full system test with the System tool found on Western Digitals support site and it didn't find any errors. But when move it to the raid-IDE the errors return. I've get Error reading / writing to disk and when I've did a chkdsk I've got the "Coudn't use Device) so I did a scandisk and it found very very many errors so it completly ereased everything that was on it.
    And when I've run Western Digitals program again i've get an error (Disk error read/writing) error code: 0113.
    Can it be that the Western Disk doesn't work well with Raid? I've haven't heard anything about that, so...

    I've had similar problems where my system becomes very unstable at higher bus speeds. Installing Windows XP simply didn't work very good. However, I have ordered a new PSU today as a solution to this problem. Basically, CPUs and video cards are much more demanding and the more devices you have in your computer the more power you're going to need. I recommend purchasing the Enermax EG465P-VE (FCA) 450W ATX PS. It has a higher amperage rating and will most likely solve your problem.
    Check your PSU and your bus speed settings...

  • MSI kt3 ultra aru sound problems

    i have this board (kt3 ultra aru) and i can't make the center/sub outputs on the audio bracket to work.
    the rear outputs are ok, but center/sub... dead. I only have that channels when I don't use the bracket.
    Is my bracket damaged? or maybe a software related issue?

    Why not try to reinstal drivers and check for new ones if any  )

  • KT3 Ultra-ARU not work with ATI 9600pro?

    Hi,
    I have recently(yesterday) bought an ATI 9600pro, to upgrade my old GF2pro. As the title says, I have the KT3 Ultra-ARU(MS-6380E)
    There seems to be lockup problems that involve only certian games and the ATI DVD player. In all instances the lock ups happen when the mouse is moved. With respect to the ATI DVD player, it will lock if the mouse is moved over the video window.
    I have tried a few things but nothing works, so I am posting here to try and see if someone knows something and I will contact ATI in a few hours, or maybe tomorrow.

    For via chipset (kt333 based msi kt3 ultra-aru) i can now obtain full hardware acceleration and 100% stable for c&c generals game by:
    1) download and install latest catalyst 3.7 driver/control panel/samartgart from ati.
    2) disable fast-write in bios..
    3) go to c:programsati technologyati control panel and execute smartgart
    4) enable - pci read/write and agp read.
    5) disable - agp write (default in my case was on causing the problem).
    6) "apply", reboot, then "ok".

  • KT3 Ultra ARU PC hangs

    Hi there.
    I have a MSI KT3 Ultra ARU motherboard, AMD XP 2600+, 2x 256 MB Apacher DDR 333 and a Radeon 9700 Pro card. Yesterday I changed CPU from Thunderbird 1.4 to XP 2600+. I had some memory problems with one of the apacher modules, but everything worked fine afterwards. I must say my computer including the OS (WinXP Pro) has been realy stable up to now, and I have never seen this kind of a hang before.
    I was burning a CD (in 4x) while watching a .avi file and the computer hangs. It did not hang fully at the start. First hang nero, then some other programs, then startmeny and desktop, and then the mouse. PC speaker was making a constant bip the whole time until I restarted...
    The system booted up, but I was wondering what it could be? I have some feeling it may be a memory problem, and will check that later on, but that will take some time. I hope someone here knows what to doo, and help me solve this problem.
    Everyone where I am from tells me to buy intel becouse they say AMD is not as stable as intel. I dont think intel is bether than AMD, and my old Thunderbird was rockstable even at 1636 MHz, overclocked by multiplier.

    Hi DataFMT,
    Thanks!
    You should see my IRQ's, I tried to get them all on a single one :D
    It doesn't matter if they are shared or not.
    But the trouble is, the APIC does try to seperate them for the CPU's (Yes CPU's) as it's Multi-CPU specification and designed to seperate them in order to let the appropriate CPU handle the IRQ instead of all off them at the same time.
    On a single CPU system this is stupid to use as the CPU needs to respond to every IRQ anyway.
    Microsoft gas gone totaly nuts on this matter and their article about the APIC is as stupid as it can be.
    They are mixing all sorts of (A)Pic's without knowing what they are doing.
    Ever wondered why Multi-CPU systems are so hard to get stable when the need for high-load is there?
    Every system today has multiple PIC (programmable IRQ controller).
    The first old one is called PIC, that one needs to be programmed for every IRQ and has a hard time on IRQ sharing and the OS needs to program it, when you use Standard-PC, that's the one you use.
    Not a good one to use as it slows the system down.
    So far Microsoft is right.
    The next one is the Local-APIC (A=Advanced), this one can share IRQ's without problems and sort of programs itself, ergo, you can't change IRQ's, and there is no need to do so anyway.
    This one is used when you enable ACPI and use ACPI-compliant-system.
    It's fast, stable and very OS/driver friendly.
    Then you have the I/O APIC, in the chipset, that one is the APIC/MPS the BIOS setting controls.
    MS screws up here big time, this one translates the real IRQ's into addresses and feeds them to the CPU PIC or Local-APIC, depend if ACPI is enabled or not.
    This one is a trouble maker, because the translation isn't needed for a single CPU system and not all drivers like it's behavior.
    Another thing is that it needs to buffer a lot, and when driving your system to the limits it can jump IRQ signals because the servicing of them can be a bit behind.
    This looks like the system is faster, but a jump can cause a lot of trouble.
    Good samples of this happening are running too fast/slow system clock in WinNT/2000/XP when you have a heavy load.
    Do a search in google and you see plenty examples.
    Another good example of this is caused by Norton, that can disturb the sound when Apic is used.
    I have discussed with MSI why APIC was turned on by default, they said it was stupid, but the PC-2001 spec requires this....and guess who wrote the spec???? :D
    I have also seen that a lot of other Mobo makers are starting to turn the APIC off by default and let you run with the Local-Apic by default.
    A far better choice if you ask me, but then who asks me??? :P

  • PSU Query for MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU running 3000xp

    Hi There,
       Before buying a new Motherboard I was just wondering if the problems I'm getting are related to the PSU which is about 5 years old. I've just upgraded my processor to a Athlon 3000 XP 333 FSB which goes into the MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU (MS-6380E v1.X) motherbaord, which I've upgraded the Bios to version 5.7, I've also  upgraded my graphics card to the Leadtek Geforce FX5900XT which also plugs into the PSU. When setting my fsb to 166 my PC either won't boot or when I try to run say 3DMark it just freezes, but when I set my FSB to 133 it works fine. I was wondering if it is trying to draw too much power from the CPU.
       I don't really know how to write the PSU details down correctly so I've just copied everything from the unit.
    Power Man MN :- FSP 300 - 60 BT

  • Broken component on MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU mainboard.

    Hi Everyone,
    A friend of mine has an MSI mainboard which has a broken component due to his screwdriver slipping off the CPU clamp while installing a new CPU.  
    The mainboard is an MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU (MS-6380E) ATX Revision 1.0
    The broken component is next to the CPU socket (between the CPU socket and the chipset fan) and is labelled  L14 on the mainboard.  
    I believe it is a Ferrite bead inductor/choke.
    We have been unable to find the broken part and would like to replace it.  I can fit a new component if I can find out the value of the broken inductor/choke in millihenries or microhenries or picohenries.
    Would someone with an - MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU (MS-6380E) ATX Revision 1.0 - mainboard, please take a look at the component labelled  L14 and let me know what the numbers on that particular component are?
    You will probably need a magnifying glass to do this, unless your eyes are very good!
    If you know the value of this component, please help!
    I would welcome any information on this, it's a shame to scrap a mainboard because of a component costing only a few cents/pence.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who helps on this, I appreciate you taking time and trouble to help.
    Dave - needtoknow.

    Hi Bas,
    I got the part I needed but not from MSI, they would not sell me one, so I went to a USA company called Mouser Electronics.
    http://www.mouser.com/
    The part cost me only 34 cents US, shipping was $6.00!  So for about £4.00 UK I can fix the board.  Better than £20.00 by far.
    You can order even very small parts from mouser as a one off, something you can't do with most UK companies. Their range of stock is *huge*.
    Thank you very much for getting the info about the part from MSI for me. I could not have repaired it if you had not helped me with that, so I owe you.
    Dave, needtoknow.

  • MSI KT3 Ultra ARU 5.7 BIOS and SoudBlaster Cards - Audigy

    I have flashed my BIOS to 5.7 Version and my sound card start to make a lot of noise (crackling) when play AC3 or DVD. If you dont want to use the new AMD CPU 333 FSB you dont need to flash the BIOS - I have Flashed to 5.6 again but, if you want to use a 333 FSB CPU you can flash the BIOS to version 5.7 and if have sound problems use the PCI latency patch for VIA chipsets.
    VIA chipset MotherBoard owners who have through all of the above and still have sound problems with their Soundblaster cards, might want to look into the PCI latency patch for VIA chipsets - get it here:

    Since my chip is an unlocked, I cannot easily run it at the default, but I can underclock it. At 100x6.0=600mhz, USB does not work, as well as 100x12.5. Same with 133x6.0 and 133x12.5. It appears to make no difference underclocking or overclocking.
    I downloaded the right BIOS listed on MSI's KT3 Ultra-ARU page. I don't think the BIOSes are different anyway, since the same files, changelog, and etc are also listed for the Ultra-2 board.
    A thing to note, that this is the onboard VIA-controller USB ports doing this. My Ultra-ARU's NEC-controller USB 2.0 ports work fine in both Win2k and Linux if I hook my mouse and keyboard up in those. This is not an ideal solution for me though.
