KT4 Ultra FSB prob! HELP!

Hey all,
I'm having an issue trying to get my fsb up to 133mhz w/ the kt4 ultra. It sticks at 100. Also it's detecting my processor speed as a 1500 instead of the 2100xp that it is. I hope you guys can help me, it seems like I'm not the only one to have this problem. My other hardware is great, just moved it over from an old computer. I'm still new at this whole msi thing, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Here's my hardware config too. Thanks guys,

Hi,
Did you set in the BIOS - CPU FSB to 133Mhz?
Start read here, most probably is cooler location or thermal grease application, as ur PSU seems OK.

Kt4 ultra fsb settings..

HELP! HELP! HELP! KT4 Ultra (6590)

Hi People,
About a month ago I bought a new system... Here are the specs....
- AthlonXP 1800+
- MSI KT4 Ultra (MS-6590)
- 512 Mb DDR PC2700 (Spetek)
- MSI GeForce4 MX440 AGP
- Maxtor DiamondMax 9 60Gb IDE
- LG CD-RW 52x24x52 IDE
- Generic 60x CD-Rom IDE
- 320w Power Supply (AMD Certified)
I have the following problem... RANDOM BOOTS! :( I dunno what is the problem... But I have some questions to MSI and for you... My KT4 hasn´t a cooler chipset on northbrigde, is it normal? Cause my system temperature is between 46ºC (idle) and 48ºC (full)... and my CPU is 47ºC (idle) and 52ºC (full)... HELP! HELP! HELP! What should I do? Ah, BIOS version is 1.2...
Best regards,
Bruno.

Your PC setup is pretty similar to mine. I had similar reboots as well and suspected the KT4 Ultra. It turned out to be a dodgy stick of RAM. Try the ramtesters from http://www.simmtester.com and http://www.memtest86.com, they'll definately find any RAM problems. Other than that disable the auto reboot on crash and see what the message on the Blue Screen tells you.
For info, since my rebuild with a new stick of ram I'm running...
4in1 v4.45
Latest MSI drivers from MSI Update v2 (except the beta graffics driver)
Bios 1.3 (though 1.2 seemed ok to me)
XP SP1 with all updates from MS.
Hope this helps...

Help with KT4 Ultra and 5.1 surround

Hi there
Ok I am new to this PC building game and have to be honest I don't know all the technical jargon so if anyone can help, please speak in good old common English, I is a bit slow on the uptake.
The problem:
I have built a PC for the old man using the KT4 Ultra MS-6590 motherboard. It came with a two additional brackets, a blue tooth USB thingy, a 5.1 bracket and MSIDVD5.1ch DVD. Both brackets take up a PCI space but plug direct into the motherboard not the pci slot (you probably already know this).
Now i haven't installed these as I was unsure how to use them. The 5.1 adapter/bracket only has a two speaker jacks, and these run two types of speakers (which ones I can't remember right now). So if I was to pug it in, where do all the other speakers plug in to the system and am I supposed to buy a set of 5.1 speakers that are especially designed to use this type of jack configuration? Any recommendations on speaker packages are very welcome. I also take it that the DVD that came with it will help me set everything up yeh? I haven't tried it as I didn't install the bracket.
Ok next up, this Bluetooth bracket thing? So what's that all about? If I plug it in, will it give me bluetooth support or do I need to buy something else to make that work? Personally I would be surprised if I plugged it in and it worked.
Now if you are wondering what brackets I am talking about, you can see them here on the MSI site under the Socket A motherboard section, there are images right at the bottom.
Cheers for any help you can give, like I say, I am new to all this and I guess we all have to learn somewhere right? So please go easy on me.
Cheers Jordy

Cheers for that,
I read the KT4 unofficial Fact and got a little confused with what it was saying about bluetooth. I take it that it is in fact not bluetooth and just two extra USB ports? I could be wrong, like I say I get confused with all this techno babble.
Ok so when I installed the drivers and everything else for the motherboard, was c-media mixer installed with it, or is it on the MSIDVD5.1ch DVD?
That seem's easy enough to follow though cheers.
do you recommend any particualar speaker systems to make connection simple and easy? If you think I am dim, you should see the old man navigate the net (crap he is bound to read this).
Cheers for your help and anymore light you can shed on the bluetooth bracket.
Cheers again Jordy 8)

KT4 Ultra: FSB Setting for 2400+? and USB Keyboard not working

I just picked up a KT4 and an Athlon 2400+ - What FSB setting should i pick to make the processor detect as a 2400 (currently w/ a setting of 133, it's detecting as a 2000+ 1.67ghz when it should be 2ghz.) - Is there some setting other than the FSB that i need to change?
Also, when i try to use a USB keyboard, it doesn't work after POST. I am able to use the keyboard to change the bios settings etc... but once POST is done, the keyboard doesn't respond, and every time you press a key, the numlock light flashes quickly. - This also causes all the other USB devices (mice, etc...) to stop working. - Everything is fine if i plug the same keyboard in via PS2, but unfortunatly, this isn't a good long term solution because i use a USB KVM switch.
Any suggestions welcome!
TIA

Ok, the FSB thing is fixed, thanks for the help.
As far as the kvm being incompatable, i thought of that, and tried plugging the keyboard directly into a usb port and got the same results.
I have tried just about every setting i think would relate in the bios and none have seemed to help. ;(

KT4 Ultra w/XP2400+

I snagged the Beta BIOS (1.25) off the message board yesterday and it fixed my problem with the FSB trying to go to 133Mhz.
Before, using 1.1 BIOS, I could only get to 133Mhz by going 1Mhz at a time (read that tip from a message board somewhere). Now, I can go straight to 133Mhz from the default 100Mhz. I now have a 'normal' XP2400+ system.
Now I can experiment with BIOS settings without having to fear locking the system and starting back @ 100Mhz...101Mhz...102Mhz...
I've heard a lot of people complaining that when they try to go to 133Mhz FSB their system won't POST, black screen, etc....Try this BIOS and see if it helps!

KT4 Ultra Need Help!!!

I have a KT4 Ultra Mobo. AMD 1800+. Thermal take PSU 420W. Coppershim. Thermal grease. I changed the FSB to 133 from 100. And everytime i do heavy load install, like updating winxp to sp1. it keeps rebooting. this thing is so unstable. Please help. I need some advice. I also have 3 case fans. and two fans on the PSU. idle temp is 45 degrees. some people here have lower temps than that. why is that?

i have an update... i used the cooler xp to cool the cpu down during installation. it worked, but as the installation goes, it had an extraction fail due to lack of memory or swap file or corrupt file. memory is fine. so i was thinking, maybe it's the cooler xp processor usage. any ideas?

Is FSB overclocking above 175 MHz possible with KT4 Ultra?

I would like to squeeze a few extra MHz out of my AMD XP2600+ (without unlocking or other hardmods that cost money if they fail...). I have upped the FSB to 175 successfully, which gives me just above 2200 MHz CPU speed as reported of Motherboard Monitor. But when I go above that, it crashes. Upping the voltage from auto (1.65 on my system) does not seem to help. A guy on an overclocking board suggested that it's because it stops in the AGP/PCI slot since there is no lock of those speeds. Is this possible in any way, or are there any other dirty tricks to use so I can get more speed out of this?
Thanks a lot in advance!

thanks!!!yes, it really seems to be a power source issue...
i am using a powerline 450W power source, and the smart doctor utility form asus reported a reading of red marked warning 3.12 volts intead of 3.3 volts, also i tested the 3.3 rails using a multimeter while the system was on and capture drivers under conflict and it reported a 3.25 voltage.....i opened the power source's box and clean its dust, and so, the problem is not happening anymore!!.anyway smart doctors is reporting a 3.15 voltage instead of 3.3 (not in red or under warning message)and the multimeter is reporting 3.27. but everything is working fine: capture and tv out fetures while using the processor as an athlon 2800+ for the first time since i bought the motherboard........
the 5 volts line is reported by the multimeter with 4.95 volts after and before the problem was happening, same with smart doctor.
the hardware i used was:
-two MSI kt4 ultra boards
-kt4A
-an intel motherboard which i don't remember its brand, using dimm pc 133 memory(using anoter power supply)
-asus v8460 for all boards
-same ddr memory for all msi motherboards
since the voltage is still not 3.3 volts reported, even if the entire video card is working fine, and i only cleaned the box, and didn't change anything to its structure, maybe the problem could happen again, i guess i should buy another power source then.
i am very thankful
Andres.
PD: i see that a lot of people is having this kind of problem through the forum and maybe its due to this voltage stuff too....maybe it'd be a good idea if a sticky thread is posted repoting this stuff i believe. (if it hasn't yet of course)

KT4 Ultra - Set fsb through bios or jumpers?

Hello all, I have a kt4 ultra and have been experiencing stability problems these past few months. I have an athlon xp 2600+ (333mhz) and whenever I set the fsb to 166mhz in the bios and clock it up to the factory speed, my whole computer shuts down.
Initially I thought it was a power issue, but after testing it with 3 good power supplies (good strong amps), I found that it could be another problem.
It is not a heat issue either because I am running that computer open case. Tested RAM and all seems fine (Crucial ddr).
After staring at the motherboard for a few minutes I noticed there were "fsb jumpers" pins 1-6 near the cpu. for pins 1-2 and 3 and 4, the table etched on the board says its 166mhz fsb. So I set it to that, and whenever I set the same fsb settings in the bios multiplied by even 15.0, after reboot it reports 933Mhz. I was running through the windows setup @this speed fine, but during the HD format it shuts itself off.
Furthermore whenever those fsb jumpers are cleared the default 100mhz fsb kicks in clocking the processor at 1250MHz..upping the fsb to 167 and multiplying by 12.5 doesnt help either--it just shuts down.
Here are the rest of the specs of the system:
-2 x 256MB Crucial Cas 2.5 DDR
-Nvidia geforce fx 5200 128MB
-40GB HD
-Plextor 16x10x40 Burner
-DVD-Rom
-Bios is latest 1.4 release
I have read the FAQ regarding this board and the "wait 15min" procedure when clearing the board's CMOS. Even after following all that, I still get the same thing.
ahhh this is driving me insane
-C

"...I have read the FAQ regarding this board and the "wait 15min" procedure when clearing the board's CMOS. Even after following all that, I still get the same thing..." Does it mean there are no changes in Bios after clearing CMOS ? You don't need to wait if you drain all current on Mobo after disconnecting P.Su. from wall socket and taking off battery, by pressing case power button. What is memory speed ? Both memory same make ? Have you tried with only 1 memory ? What are AMPS. actual P.Su. gives to 3.3v. 5v. and 12v. rails ? BTW. If. Mobo has jumpers to set FSB you should use them to set FSB. not Bios's.

KT4 Ultra won't boot if I change settings in BIOS

I can't change any cmos settings either. If I change anything in the bios at all it won't boot. it will turn on but won't boot. so I have to clear the cmos to get into windows and my 2500+ Barton is running at 1050mhz because I can't set the fsb to 166(333) like I should be able to. And I just bought the chip yesterday.

Well, its not yet conclusive that your BIOS is bad, all we are saying at this stage is that with a new CPU, you can change settings but it will not Boot. Correct?
When you update a BIOS you only do not always change all the data stored in the memory.
I have, before now, resorted to to using the emergency recovery feature of the BIOS that is well documented.
This way, subject to the memory not having any bad addresses, you completely re-program the BIOS I.C.
Have you tried BIGRHINO suggestion first?
Kind Regards

Change speed CPU-fan KT4-ultra

Does anyone know if you can change the speed of the fan on your cpu on the KT4-ultra. I tried everything with software, but nothing helps! Mayby MSI has blocked it?
Thanks.

You could try adifferent heatsink fan with a variable speed control - I use a coolermaster hac-v81 which has a speed control allowing speeds upto 5000rpm lower than 3000rpm at the bottom end.
I don't know of any mobos that allow you to control fan speed

KT4 Ultra (MS-6590) Please help me!

After som reading at MSI homepage i noticed that my motherboard suppurted AMD Athlon 3000+ if i flashed the BIOS.
So i did get a brand new AMD Athlon 3000+, flashed the BIOS to ver 1.4. And I changed the Frequency/Voltage to 166, and i was up and running.....for a while. Every time a start a game like FS 2004 or are working in 3-4 different programs the computer like DW, PS and Illustratoer:
1. close down one or two programs, or shuts down the game, without any warning.
2. reboot the computer without any warning.
But if i change the Frequency/Voltage to 133 the system get's stabil.
