Barton 2500+ in KT333 Ultra ARU w/ 9800xt help me

here are my specs,
AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Barton @ 12.5 x 175Mhz (green chip from early june03)
MSI KT333 Ultra ARU
512Mb x 1 Corsair XMS PC2700
Ati 9800xt w/ 3.10 Catalyst
SB Audigy MP3 w/ latest driver
Antec smart power 350WMax,(i think constant is
I only get 16000 marks in 3dmark 2001se. AAandAF are application select.  ive read how people with slightly lesser ati boards are getting 20k marks.  what is the bottleneck in my system?  I cannot run a 10 x 200Mhz on my barton, it won't POST.  Is it my power supply or is it my ram?both?  do i need 512x2 ddr400 to overclock more?  I got it to boot w/ error at 12.5x185, but that doesn't help at all.  how can I get my 3dmark score up?

I cannot run a 10 x 200Mhz on my barton, it won't POST
it never will as board has only 1/5 divider so agp would be 80 and pci 40

  • KT333 Ultra ARU raid controller, help!!!!

    I just bought a brand new 60 gig maxtor HD and I have no standard IDE slots left and was hopping that I could use the raid controller and setup the single drive as an array, and that I did fine, the onboard controller detected it and I ran the auto setup.... but when it boots to windows I cannot see the drive in windows explorer, and I have installed all of the latest drivers and 4 in 1 patch files. but cannot see the drive in windows... I am running windows ME, but the driver stated that it worked in ME, so any help would be appreciated....

    Hi,
    You need a modded BIOS to do this, see the good-article forum.
    There you find an article from Maesus about this stuff.

  • Mainboard does not work anymore (kt333 Ultra Aru)

    I have a KT333 Ultra motherboard I purchased along with an AMD XP 2000+ chip and had 256 MB ( PC2100)memory and Cyber-cooler CPU cooler, ATI Rage Pro Turbo, Kingston 10/100 ethernet, Enermax 350 watt PSU, and TI firewire card. and I came home after a late night of work and turned my PC on only to get 3 long beeps and no screen messages or anything, this happened this saturday evening and I was not able to get past the 3 beeps nor find anything about them on the manual that came with the board. I scurried around and found the sales slips and called the seller, and they were not open so I called MSI tech support, and they were not open either, at least not until monday, and I need a new Motherboard if this one has failed, because I am moving to college this friday, and need to get in touch with MSI for replacing the board and possibly other components that may have gone with it.... but what is MSI's policy on replacements, and or warrranty?

    You got this "error" after clearing the cmos? It is not an error, it is what happens after you clear the cmos. It is basically saying you cleared your motherboard settings and you need to go back and reset them. All you have to do at this message is press f1 and reset you bios settings. For now, I would recommend just setting the time and date and then loading default bios settings until you are sure you can fully boot. Then you can go back and change what you need. Good Luck and keep us posted.

  • KT333 Ultra ARU

    Any chance that it will take a sempron?
    Any one running one here?

    Once he gets it running, outperform his rig, with a 2400.  
    Well he wants a Rig like mine but does know how to get it and will NOT listen to me even though I build all my rigs (even his)  
    I think the main Idea is that he wants to pick his own hardware. So ok he's right  

  • KT333 Ultra-ARU + XP 2400+ ...

    is there a prob with this combination? if i update my bios to the latest version (w/c supports up to 2600+) will it recognize the processor properly even if its T-core revision B?

    I am having the exact same problem.  Here is what I have posted over at AMDMBforums:
    When I put the cpu in unlocked and boot up it is not recognized properly. When I go to change the setting from Auto in the bios - ie fsb from 100 to 133, etc the system will not boot and I have to clear the CMOS in order to get it to boot.
    My understanding is that the 2400+ is 15x133 = 1.995Ghz by default. That being said the bios should see the 2400+ and recognize it correctly based on the systemboard specs from MSI.
    When I could not get the CPU to boot correctly I unlocked it using the GAO wire/pin method. When I went into the bios and tried to bump up the multiplier up to 15x133 for 2Ghz the system rebooted and only had a 5X multiplier despite what the bios said at 15X.
    I read through this thread and it confused me somewhat. If there is no 15x multiplier, how does the 2400+ get it's default speed? MSI cleared this cpu for the K3T so in theory it SHOULD have the 15X multiplier. What confused me though was how the system operated with the cpu locked. Can anyone explain this to me?"
    Another reply I posted:
    "If I put it in the KT3 should see it as 15x133 = 2Ghz as default and recognize it as 2400+ on boot, but it does not.
    Herin lies the problem. If I remove the wire to open the bridge to lock the multiplier, the cpu is not seen correctly in the bios (ie only shows as an 1800+ cpu!) and any attempt to adjust the fsb from 100 results in the system not booting such as in your case. I am forced to clear cmos in order to get it to boot. I also noted that with the cpu locked (default), when I went into the bios and attempted to adjust the cpu voltage from default of auto it gave me strange ASCII characters for all the other voltages!
    Bottom line-- MSI states that the CPU should work on this board without any mods to the cpu (ie unlocking it). My problem is that the ONLY way I can get the board to see it as a 2400+ is to unlock it and run it at 12x166. Right now with it running at 12.5x176 it is seen as a 2600.
    Why does the cpu NOT work out of the box using default CMOS settings as MSI stated and why am I forced to unlock it to get it to work?"
    It appears that many people are having this problem!!

  • Traded KT333 Ultra for K7N2G-L, help pick RAM

    Whats up everyone, my bro came home and we are trading boards provided that I get him an el-cheapo graphics card...he does absolutely no gaming on his pc at all.
    So I'm getting a K7N2G-L out of it, heh heh.  AGP/PCI lock is awesome!
    I've already tinkered with my existing corsair ram in my signiture below and my same unlocked 2500 barton on his K7N2G-L.  He has the same PSU as me.  I am able to hit the 200FSB with some relaxed latencys and 1.8V on the CPU.  Although the ram is probably having lots of errors, it crapped out of me installing my Catylst drivers...maybe because his integrated graphics driver was still installed too?  Maybe cause the DDR V is at 2.7?  Yes I know, a clean install, but I was just tinkering to get a feel for what I should my ram and CPU could hit.
    I want to get higher FSB, take advantage of the dual channel, and get 1Gb...FarCry NEEDs 1Gb, and HL2 and DOOM3 are probably gonna need it too.  I already found the modded bios for K7N2G-L that goes to 230 FSB.  What 1Gb RAM kit should I buy and what speed?  Will some Corsair Twix at pc3200 hit 230 and preserve the descently low latency?  Or get a pc3500 kit since it should be more stable at 230?  I've already read the ram guide, but what are some stable selections that some of you have made...?  
    A little further Down the road, I can see getting a mobile-barton 2600+ for the additional high-multipliers, but for now I just want to get a good base of RAM.

    How about some PMI Turbo Memory PC3200....read some good things about it, specifcially how a store-bought sample was able to hit 460MHz and keet the 2-3-3-7 timing.  It features Winbond chips, according to another review.  and the price is alot better than that of Corsair or kingston.

    Most of the time, this sort of problems arise because of power suppliy issues.. U have a enamax 300W PSU which is a VERY GOOD PSU but might just be on the line...
    If u can, try swapping the PSu for a good 400 or a 420W PSU.. this might solve your enigma.. I really dont think this is your processor...
    Read this two articles on PSu wrtten by one moderater which will aid in solve in fixing your problem (PSU1 , PSU2 , Troubleshooting Guide )

  • Msi Kt333 woes with barton 2500

    Hi,
    I just got this new processor, the barton 2500 and my computer is very instable.
    I have a Kt333 ultra 2 with bios 5.7 and it worked fine with an athlon xp1800+
    I set up fsb 166 and everything else in auto and It will crash at random in winxp.
    The culprit seems to be accessing the hard disk which is a Maxtor ATA133 7200rpm 60gb.
    In one of the BSOD the file that caused the crash was ntfs.sys
    I am now running the board at fsb 133 just so I can use the computer.
    I have currently installed 1G ram, two sticks of 256m pc2700 and a newly acquired stick of 512 pc3300.
    I have a Gf3 ti 200 128m at default settings.
    What can I do to fix this without having to go out buy more hardware?
    Thanks.

    I don't think the KT333 suports ddr400(3200), the Bios 5.7 you have was to fix the 3200+ barton NOT the 3200 ram, So you can only run the DDR333 (2700) ram
     and should never mix your ram it will cause nothen but trouble

  • MSI KT3 Ultra-Aru (KT333) and Duron Applebred??

    Hi, welcome,willkommen,witajcie,dobry den, ... (I know this word in 11 languages)
    I have MSI KT3 Ultra-Aru (KT333) and J want to buy AMD Duron 1800MHz(Applebred).
    Does my motherboard support that processor?? It will work without problems??

    in msi website the 333 fsb cpus are not supported too in kt3 ultra-ultra aru but they still work... so it make sense to discuss  if applebred work or not in those mobos.

  • 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 - Restricted Voltages?

    I'm running a MSI KT3 Ultra ARU with an Athlon 1700+ tbred. I was trying to adjust the voltage, but the max I can put it at is 1.6V (the default voltage for my chip is 1.5V). Now, I know the board can go higher for sure, because prior to this tbred, I was running a Palomino, and I had the voltage at 1.85V. But now, the max it allows me to select is 1.6V. Is there a way to "unlock" the voltage so I can bump it up past 1.6V?

    This seems to be the #1 complaint for the kt3-ultra series. I'd too like to find a way(without mods) to get the voltage past 1.6 on my tbredA. I heard they may be releasing a new bios(at least for my ultra2) but I doubt it'll affect the voltage adjustments. It'll Probably just have a few bug fixes and barton support.

  • MSI KT3 Ultra ARU and S2K Bus Disconnect

    Hello
    I have a MSI KT3 Ultra ARU and a AMD Athlon XP 2600+ (266 FSB version). I wonder if I have support for termal diode in both CPU and mainboard.
    Is S2K Bus Disconnect and CPU HALT Command detection the same thing?

    Quote
    KT3 ultra's I believe were the first boards capable of reading thermal diode inside of AMD XP (Palamino/T-bred/barton, etc) and higher cores.
    Not the first, but they were up there as being among the first.  A few KT266 boards implemented the circuitry to read thermal diode.  Second or third revision boards, or new models, based on KT266A and even KM266 began implementing the thermal diode circuitry.
    KT3 Ultra has thermal diode read circuit:

  • MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU video lock-ups

    Hello,
        I have a 3 month old MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU.  I am running Windows XP Professional and I am having a periodic lock-up where the screen will show blinking colored blocks and the system will freeze.  Sometimes just hitting reset will cure the problem.  Other times, hitting reset will create two vertical stripes of colored blocks scrolling down the screen.  I have used the board on two entirely separate systems (One with AMD Athlon 2000+, Gainward GeForce 4200, 512 MB Samsung 2700 DDR, Western Digital Expert HD (tried both IDE #1 and RAID controller) (Other System, Athlon 1800+, a different Gainward Geforce 4200, 256 Crucial 2700 DDR, an older Maxtor hard drive).  In either system, every once in a while, the system will freeze as described above (it has happened in Netscape 7.0, Microsoft Word 2000, America's Army game).  
         I have played around with the bios settings, reformatted hard drives, tried various revisions of the nvidia display drivers, swapped out video cards, etc.  Any ideas?  Do I have a bad board?  Do I need to flash the BIOS?  If the board is bad, what do I need to do to return it?
    Thanks,
    Matt Gumaer

    The second system has a 330 watt enermax power supply.  With the new system I put together, I put virtually the same board (MSI KT3 Ultra 2 with bluetooth and RAID), everything is the same as my first system (except the KT3 Ultra-ARU) and the stability is fine.  So, I'm reasonably confident its not the power supply.

    I wish MSI would post something about the new Athlons XP's.  I would think that they should have a few of the processors already.  Every review sight seems to have thier hands on one.  I did see in the bios updates that they posted a BIOS update for the KT3 Ultra-C on 8/26/02 that says it adds support for the XP 2400+
    I have never seen this board anywhere though.  I have seen other motherboard manufactures have BIOS updates for them already.  This is my first time buying an MSI board and I hope that they get on the ball about this or it may be my last MSI board.  I guess I won't start to worry to much until I can actually find a 2400 to buy, but it would be nice to here something from MSI.  If my KT3 Ultra2-R won't support the new processors then I can buy a 2200+ now and end my wait.

  • 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...
