Kt4 Ultra temp XP cooler and performance

hola, please intruct me
ive just build my kt4 ultra with an atlhon XP 2,2
and  my temps are cpu 58 C when midle loaded and system temp 52 C, i dont know i its normal, im using the cooler that comes with the cpu
my question is that temp normal?
when i use the XP cooler of pc alert, the performance of the sistem change? how much?
thank you
excuse my english
KT 4 ULTRA
HD 80 GB 7200
512 RAM 21oo
Geforce 4 mx 440

The system temp sensor may be between the first PCI slot and AGP slot, or somewhere near there if not mistaken. If you use a hot graphics card, that part will get hot too. Even it it's not, bad air flow around that area will accumulate heat too. Try with your casing fully opened and compare. If the temp dropped, then it's OK. If not, then you might have an issue.
Again, as long as it's stable, any temperature is OK.

    Sorry for the n00b questions, it's just that this is the first time iv ever taken my PC to pieces and re-configured it myself  :P
    Thanks in advance.   -RjA

    I can help a little  1000MHZ AMD chip=200FSB XP CPUs=266FSB this is CPU speed . AMD 1000MHZ CPU needs to run @100FSB where a XP CPU can run @133FSB This is MEMORY speed . Trying to crank that poor old chip up to anything other than 100 will do you NO good. You need to buy a bigger cpu of the XP kind. A lot of the older XPs can be had for a low price. 50c isn't not super hot. My KT4 runs in the 40s. You might want to think about a bigger cpu cooler to bring the temps down a bit. Most of your settings should be left at system default, since you only have a 1000MHZ CPU. When you go up to an XP then you can make a few changes. Regards BIGDADDY51 :D  :D

  • Excuse me , info about KT4 Ultra temp issue BIOS 1.4

    Hi, all, excuse me if I disturb u, but I've not understood compleltely if the low temps recorded by MSI KT4 ULtra sensors with BIOS 1.4 is a problem or is a real reduction of the temperatures offered by the new BIOS.
    Thank you very much for your time
    Bye
    Marcello

    No, its not enabled by default - and the temp issue is for real - not only reporting with less than 5-8*C, but also reversing the winbond sensors(CPU-SYS). I must tell you that the Cooler XP utility still works no mather if CPU HALT is enabled or not, taking another 5-8*C from your temperatures. Running an AMD Athlon XP Palomino 2100+  almost at 20*C with regular air cooling seems damn' science-fiction and the system with 5 degrees or more than the CPU.
        So stick with what u've got, if it's ok and stable. And trust us, we've checked the BIOS, we've checked the temperatures with alternative measurments. We are not that ******

  • Kt4 ultra temp?

    where does the kt4 ultra read the cpu tempature?does it use the senser in the cpu?

    Reads from internal diode sensor on those AMD chips that have one.  Otherwise it comes from a sensor on the circuit board under the socket-a.

  • 93 degrees celsius CPU TEMP!! and performance is degrading

    Hey Guys.
    I have had my MacBook Pro for about 10 months and now my battery is at 60% health one day and then will fluctuate to 89% health the next.
    Recently too, a lot of software has been hanging up and I get the rotating beach ball of doom. The machine has also been running rather unusually hotter than normal. For example I'm just watching a YouTube Video and listening to music in iTunes at the CPU reaches a heat of about 75 degrees celsius. About 5 months ago this would only occur if I was rendering or encoding files. Last night I was encoding a movie into MPEG4 and my CPU reached a whopping 93 degrees celsius!!!
    I have tried resetting the Power Management control but that didn't help.
    Is anyone else having similar issues?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Chris Hall

    Hi Chris,
    Oh, your battery health fluctuations might be related to the heat issue your experiencing, since lithium polymers hate heat. If your using the system plugged into it's adaptor, you can prolong the battery life by removing it, once it's fully charged. Your MBP will continue to run but remember to insert the battery before you unplug cause the system will just power down/shut down; thus lose work.
    Do yourself a favor, try saving your CPU's from overheating, they're gonna die if they keep on being cooked or fried!!! I found this utility that give me more control over those internal fans, i'd advise you to tweak the default speed from the standard 2000 RPM to a more realistic 2200 RPM (anything above 3500 RPM starts becoming noisy).
    Personally, I've managed to lower the processor temps from the frightening 71-75°C to a more comfortable 50°C. Give it a try and tell the rest of us what you think.

  • GeForce FX5900 Ultra runs really cool and silent

    Today i had opportunity to test a bit GF FX5900 Ultra and it is really more silent as GF FX 5800. So i can really recommend. :-)  :D

    Yes we're all waiting with baited breathe to get our hands on one too Vojtech! Anything to make this fan noise in my office diminish would be a plus!! *Not to mention the video capability of this card heheheh*

  • :( Help? Problems with 2100+ and KT4 Ultra

    I just bought a KT4 Ultra, athlon xp 2100+ and a stick of 512 ddr333 ram.  The bios runs the fsb at 100 and xp registers it as a 1500+.  When I try to change the fsb to 133 from the bios, it will not post, so I have to clear the cmos.  When I try to change it from windows with fuzzy logic, it freezes, and again, I have to clear the cmos.  The cooling fan is on properly and is what the clerk at pc club gave me for it.  Fuzzy logic registers case temp at 41DEG C running at 100fsb.  The power supply: 30a at +3.3v, 32a at +5v, 160w +3.3v &5v, 330w total power.  I would think that it would not be instantaneous if it was a temp. problem... possibly my power supply?  Any other suggestions?

    Just a gues, Is it your ram then! test that memory over night (you will find the link somewhere on this forum for testing program) and other thing unplug most of your hardware (cdrew, any dvd or sound/tv card etc) and try fsb 133 - In case that after removing some hardware works then you probably need better PSU.
    Good luck!
    And write down all hardware in next post.

  • KT4 Ultra and WD Hard Drive

    I have just purchased a KT4 Ultra (MS 6590) motherboard and have  a real problem.
    I also have a Western Digital  Hard Drive (WD100JB)
    Unfortunatly there appears no way that this board (or its BIOS) will accept this drive.
    As soon as I get to POST it fails to recognise the drive when connected properly with all jumpers in the correct positions.
    So I then  dissconnected all other drives and just set it to Master on IDE 1 and it did detect it but then said it was incompatable and failed to boot up.
    I was unable to boot up at all even setting the BIOS to Default.
    I placed this drive back in my other PC and it booted first time.
    Whats the problem ...?  any ideas?
    Thanks
    Pete

    Yeh Ive's tried all these things including removing the BIOS battery
     The problem I have with this board is that it will not use any Hard Drive !.
    What hapens is that the Drive is detected OK in the BIOS.
    It then tries to go to POST and BOOT and returns an Error saying "Atapi  incompatable HD" !
    I have tried different drives and still get the same result !.
    I have changed the cables and also tried setting the drive to “Master” with no other drives on the computer but  it still comes up with the "Atapi  incompatable HD " ! Error
    I think there must be a BIOS problem not loading drivers for ATAPI devices or something like that'Any Ideas?
    This board is brand new straight out of the box?

  • Kt4 ultra bios and raid function

    i am using the kt4 ultra motherboard (bluetooth ready and SATA), when i go to the integrated peripherals, onboard pci controller i can only enable/disable the audio controller....
    where am i supposed to enable/disable the raid controller?? is there a jumper i am missing on the board?
    thanks in advance,
    brian

    Are you sure you have a KT4 ultra with the Serial ATA/RAID controller option? There are several versions of the motherboard, all doesn't include the PDC20376 SATA/RAID controller, please check if you can find the chip on your mobo. The controller is enabled/disabled under Integrated Peripherals->OnBoard PCI Controller
    ->Serial ATA controller.

  • KT4 Ultra and a PNY GF2 TI 64 meg power problem

    Okay here is my problem...
    I have a KT4 Ultra with athlon 2400+ and 512 of 333mhz 2700 DDR Ram.
    I also have a True430 430 watt psu from antec.
    I installed the motherboard and proc and everything else fine.  Stick in the PNY geforce 2 TI 64 meg card in.  Plug power cord in and hit the powr button nothing..
    I know I have all the power connections hooked up corretly.
    So I get a TNT 2 M64 and pop it in and the machine boots up fine and I can do everything normal.. any ideas??!?!  

    Did the PSU even start and the fan spins? Or it's a totally DEAD machine?  
    This could either be
    1. the card is 3.3V/1.5V and the board refuse to run with it.
    2. the card when slotted in has shorted some part of the casing.
    We can't do anything if this is an incompatibility issue. My last suggestion would be - change the display card or the motherboard.  

  • No Sound with KT4 Ultra - FISR -- HELP!

    hey
    I got a KT4 Ultra - FISR along with and XP 2400 and other goodies for christmas. I put the machine together and installed 98se, and all of the included drivers the came on the MSI Utilities disk. Everything was working perfectly with it (got 11752 on 3dmark 2001, is that a decent score?) anyways everything was cool except the on-board c-media sound was not working at all.  ?(  I have 2 speakers w/ sub and i have them plugged into the line out spot in the mobo. I have turned the sound on in my BIOS and messed with all the sound settings in windows and still i get no sound at all. I even unplugged the bracket that came with it for surround because i saw it could possibly cause some problems. I then checked all my connections and still no sound.  X( I was woundering if there are any other settings or jumpers that i need to set for my sound to work. Any additional information on how to get my sound to work would be greately appreciated. My system specs are below. Thankz

  • Raid BIOS Gone (KT4 Ultra-BSR)

    I recently bought a Serial ATA Hard Drive wanting to install it on the raid controller.  But when I went to enter the Raid Controller's BIOS FastBuild Setup (at boot-time), it never shows up.
    I have the KT4 Ultra-BSR, and I can see the RAID Controller enable/disable option in the Integrated Peripherals.  I have it enabled, but it NEVER  displays the RAID bios at boot-up.  This is the second KT4 Ultra I've had and I know I saw the RAID bios on the first one I had. I have the latest system BIOS installed (1.30).
    Has anyone experienced this and/or know how to fix it? Is there a way for flash the RAID controller to possibly fix it?  Did the entry to the setup change from whats in the manual (ctrl-F4)?
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

    I've seen a couple other post like yours Shark. While that makes me feel a little more comfortable that other are having similar problems, I thinks mine's a little different.  I don't ever remember seeing the RAID BIOS on this motherboard.  I've tried turning it off and on in a row to see if mine would eventuall show, but I never see it.
    Does anyone from MSI read these? I think something should be done.

  • KT4 Ultra No Audio Device...

    I have the KT4 Ultra MS 6590 Mobo, and I have never had any problems with the sound until recently...
    I took the computer into the shop (cuz it was giving me blue screen system errors when I was trying to reinstall XP), and they got it up and running, but I have no sound!
    Every time before this, I could just use the MSI Live Update and it would d/l the CMedia sound drivers for me.  But now, there is no option to do so.
    So I went and downloaded the drivers manually, but there is no exe included in the d/l, and I can't get it to install using the Add New Hardware feature either.
    I am at an impass.  I've tried several different drivers, nothing works.  It still says I have no audio device installed.
    PS - I lost my driver cd that came with the mobo.  
    I don't understand why all of the sudden I cannot get sound.  I've had this mobo for almost a year now (I lost track), and I have NEVER had this problem before.
    If anyone could help me out that would be great, I miss my sound oh so much.

    possible they have messed with bios and turned off sound or used jumpers to diable sound take alook around the usb headers .
    also check ya screw mounts even though all has been fine at work i have seen 7 msi boards with no sound when the metal screw mounts have been miss placed or not removed from under the sound chip area. check the sound chip area look under the board the shop or you might have mounted it wrong and bent pins or damaged the area. also check ya got no serious irq conflicts although they have to be serious.

  • KT4 Ultra FISR & DDR400 memory ?

    Can someone please help....
       I have a KT4 Ultra, {BIOS v1.1} and an Athlon T`bred 2700+  which I want to run at 166fsb.
        The problem is that when I use my PC400 DDR RAM module,[TwinMos} which is on MSI`s supported memory list,the thing will only work at 166fsb ,that is 333MHz not
    the 400MHz it`s meant to run at.....does anyone know a way around this ?
        Also,according to MSI`s website,the 2700+ should run at 166 with a ratio of 15 ,they say they`ve tried it and it works...well not for me it does`nt...I have to set the ratio to "Auto" in the bios to get it to run,and it does so at 13 according to Fuzzy Logic.
        Now my CPU is running at 2.17GHz which is it`s advertised speed...so where do MSI come up with thier 15X166 figures?

    Yeah thanks Bas...but I`m happy with the speed of the cpu,its the memory thats underperforming.
         The TwinMos PC400 DDR RAM will only run at 333MHz,and not the 400MHz its supposed to run at whilst the fsb of the cpu is set at 166MHz......
          Although when I drop the cpu fsb to 133MHz the DDR RAM appears to run at 400MHz,according to the bios initialisation screen at bootup.
       So for now it seems that I can either compromise my CPU speed and run a 2700+ at 2100+ to get the most from the RAM......or I can run the CPU at 2700+ and settle for slower memory speed.
        Add to all this the fact that at the moment PC400 DDR RAM is no faster...sometimes even slower than PC2700,you can drive yourself crazy.
      A ;(
