I'm having the same problem where my system becomes very unstable at higher bus speeds. 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.

    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 Processor Speeds?

    Hi There,
        I'm running the MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU (MS-6380E v1.X) with an AMD Athlon XP 2000, I was just wondering what Athlon XP processor speeds this supports upto, and if possible what changes I might need to make to the Bios, Would I need to flash my board with a new Bios or just go into my Bios and change some settings.
    Thanks for any help, just trying to get ready for Doom 3 and Halflife 2 if they ever appear  
    Cheers,
    Paul.

    But there is no guaranty, that a FSB333 AthlonXP will work. The largest CPU that is allowed from MSI is a 2600+ FSB266.
    But the chance is pretty high, that a FSB333 Athlon will work, though. It did so on mine KT3 Ultra.

    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

  • KT3- Ultra aru board (ms-6380e series) processor question

    Ok i'm running a msi kt3 ultra aru motherboard with bios version 5.7
    looking at the cpu charts i'm slightly confused. What I'm wondering is can I run an athlon 3000 processor on this board? I know its going to raise the bus speed up but I'm running pc2700 ram right now so I dont see that being a problem.
    anyone either running a newer processor on this board, or who would know the answer, it would be appreciated....
    thx!

    You guys rock. Thanks for the feedback. haven't made the purchase yet, got a friend that manages a compusa thats supposed to be getting me a deal, we'll see I guess....
    THANKS AGAIN!!!

  • 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

  • Kt3 ultra-aru multiplier prob

    Setting the multiplier to 9 or above: no problem.
    My CPU is an Athlon 1400 and its L1 bridges are "factory unlocked".
    How could I fix this issue?
    Many thanks.
    Not that this may help, but years ago I had an old Pentium 2 that had its multiplier locked when going above its default, but unlocked when going below its default multiplier.  It came this way from the factory. Pretty good FSB overclocker, btw.... :]   Later I found that Intel had changed this and subsequent P2's came from the factory locked in both directions.
    Might it be that the cpu is not as "unlocked" as you've been led to believe?  Just a thought.  A way to prove this one way or the other I think would be to try it in another motherboard.
    Well, I don't think this is the same kind of issue because I used this Athlon 1400 with any multiplier on an ABIT KT7A before buying this MSI KT3.

  • 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
    AC Input - 115/230v~, 10/5A, 60/50 HZ
    DC Output - +3.3V  14.0A(org), +5V - 30.0A(red), +12v - 11.0A (yel) + 5VSB

  • 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.

  • Overclocking the MSI KT3 Ultra ARU

    Hey,
    I read some reviews with the kt3 Ultra ARU and i have read that people have been getting the FSB up to around 167? Yet, i fail to get it past 151?  Any suggestions?  
    -Knowa-
    MSI KT3 Ultra ARU
    AMD xp 1800+
    768 mb pc2100
    TDK 40x12x48
    Lite ON DVD
    ATI Radeon 8500 (GIGABYTE)

    you would have more chance of it booting at 166
    than 151 as the divider kicks in at 152
    at 166 fsb your video and pci slots are at the correct speed
    it can be done if you have been lucky with the cpu you gotlink

  • 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:

    UPS 500 VA
    Monitor Sony 19" E400E

    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.

  • MSI KT3 Ultra ARU & GeForce 3 TI200

    A little prob:
    When I run my GF3 in AGP mode, all my games hang after playing 1 min. Then when I change the "Via Tech CPU to AGP-controller" to "PCI standard PCI to PCI brigde" thereby running my GF3 in PCI-mode everything runs fine. Then I went into "dxdiag" and saw that "Acceleration of AGP-struktur" was not availble. So I was thinking, am I looseing enything by running the GF3 in PCI-mode and is it the MSI or the GF3 that is causeing this problem.
    I have tried all the VIA 4in1 drivers and they did not help.
    My specs:
    MSI KT3 Ultra ARU
    Athlon XP 1900+
    Palite Daytona Geforce 3 TI200
    Windows XP pro

    i have the kt3 ultra with a geforce 3 ti200 and it runs flawless.. i use the det 30.30 drivers. one thing i noticed with geforce 3 cards is if i have my agp apperature set to anything but 128 games will freeze and get all kinds off lock ups. if i were you i would look around this forum for the bios setup guide for the kt3 ultra! and set your bios according to that guide
    if you cant find it here goto http://www.amdmb.com and go to the msi forum there and the set up guide is there
    hopefully that helps!!!!

    Hi!
    This is what I've got.

    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...
