KT4 Ultra board and AMD XP2800+

I just installed a XP2800+ chip into this motherboard and since the FSB one the 2800 CPU is 333 what do I set the CPU FSB clock to to get the 333 I need? According to the test chart the KT4 Ultra will support this chip and I did install the newest BIOS.
Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks
Gary

we need power supply info: watts, and amps on 3.3v/5v/12v
you may also have a cpu overheating problem, double check the cpu heatsink

  • KT4 Ultra board and AMD XP2800+ boot issues

    This is a repost sorry
    I cannot seem to get the computer to run when I set FSB to anything over 163.
    It should be set at 166.  I updated the BIOS to the newest one available.
    At 164 the system simply reboots itself.
    165 or 166 the system boots then freezes.
    Here are the specs on my Power supply:
    400 watt power supply
    +5 38A max 1.5 Min
    +12 18A max .8 Min
    +3.3 28A .5 Min
    Running 768MB of PC2100, Chaintech Nvidia FX5600 256 MB, 2 60GB drives, 1 CD-rw and 1 CD.  
    Do I need to tweak any voltages?
    Hope this helps
    Thanks again
    Gary

    PC2100 memory does not help..., should be at least 2700 (333mhz)
    you are overclocking your memory and that is most probably why you can't get 166 on  your fsb
    take care

  • KT4 Ultra FISR and Volcano 9 Cool Mod

    I am building a system using the KT4 Ultra FISR and a 2800+.  I am also using the Thermaltake Volcano 9 Coolmod fan which has LEDs on the fan.  My question is this, the board has two sets of Power LED headers, a two pin and a three pin.  The Coolmod is supposed to plug in to the Power LED header.  Is it possible to use the three pin header for the fan and the two pin header for the case?  I don't want to lose the front LED.  I know Thermaltake says don't wire both front panel and Coolmod to the same header, but it doesn't say anything about two different headers.  If someone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.  I hope I made myself clear.    Thanks in advance.

    Do you mean to use the two pin JFP1 Power LED for the case and the 3 pin JFP2 for the Volcano mod? I dont think it should be a problem, my LED's are mixed and matched between the two headers.  You could test it with a multimeter to see what the output of one header is while the other is connected to its LED.

  • KT4 Ultra FISR and Radeon 9700pro

    OK, I upgraded my MB from the k7t266pro to an Kt4 Ultra.  I also upgraded to an AMD xp 2500+ and new DDR 333 ram.  My video card is the ati 9700pro.  This card functioned just fine with my old board as I never crashed.
    Since I have upgraded I have not been able to play any 3d games!!  all the games start and are playable for 2-5 mins then it just completely freezes my system.  i cannot even do an end task and have to hit the reset button to restart the PC.
    I am running Winxp home edition and am fully patched.  I have also upgraded the bios and installed every new driver from the live update utility.  i have the latest drivers available from ATI as well.  
    what gives here?  I have searched Google and various other sites and i have run across many many threads with people having identical problems with this board and video card.  my thought is that it is not the video card, as it ran flawlessly on my old MSI board.  i do PC support and system admin for a living and 99% of the time I can resolve PC problems on my own, however, I am at a loss with this one.  I have been a loyal MSI customer as this is the 4th MB i have bought from you guys over the years, but i can't help feeling disappointed right now.  any ideas?  This stinks as I was so looking forward to the upgrade in performance and now i got jack.

    300w PS (AMD approved)
    Maxtor 30bg ata 133

    I took the advice of some of you and got a Antec 430w TruePower PS to replace my old one.  Still no good.  I was a little skeptical about the new PS thing since I run a pretty minimal configuration.

    As you can see, pretty sparse.  I soley use this box as a gaming type PC, so I try and keep the load light.  At this point I think I would like the board replaced.  Like I said, the 9700pro worked like a champ on my k7t266 pro, I doubt it is the new AMD CPU... so that leaves just the memory or the board at this point.  I mean, driver wise I am using the same drivers as those that do not have problems.  I am going to buy some high-end memory to eliminate that issue, but I highly doubt that will make the difference.  I hope I'm wrong though.
    Oh, BTW the option to change the AGP slot back to 4x is locked out for some reason.  That kinda pisses me off too.  I mean, at least give me the option to bring it back down to 4x.

  • KT4 ultra (6590) and Randeon 8500 instability

    This is my pc:

    Monitor 19"  Philps 109B.
    S.O WinXP PRO SP1.
    My systems runs great but when i play games sometimes my system crash and (very curios) before about 3-5 min of game play i see small interferences like small  white orizzontal  jolt similar the interference when a cellular phone ring near the monitor. the problem it persists with any resolution and any monitor refresh rate !!!!!  
    What i've tested:
    I have the lasted KT4 ultra bios, test any Randeon Drivers (include the lasted 779 beta drivers) and lasted via's drivers
    Near my monitor there isn't any interference source !!
    Monitor is perfect (tested in other system )
    it's not Radeon8500 problem because i play games perfectly in other system (a7v266 and same hardware)
    KT4 are not damaged because i play game perfectly with another video card (geforce2 Mx400)
    It's not a PSU problem because i replaced AMD athlon 2000 + with AMD Athlon 900 (the rest hardware is the same) and the problem it persists.
    although i have 5 years experience under PC assemblage  ,   I do not know that what to make!!!
    is There an incompatibility with Radeon8500 and KT4 Ultra  ??
    Please someone can help me ???  ;(   ;(

    It might be the AGP driving value problem. Set it to EA in BIOS. It works for most people with components like yours.  If that does not help, switch to AGP 2x and see if the problem went away. If it did, look for other DGP Driving values and turn off some AGP related features (sideband, fastwrite etc)
    If that did not help,
    See this post and try to draw come conclusions. Sometimes the Power Supply is at fault not because of being underpowered (which you checked with Athlon 900) but because of the incorrectunstable voltages and other similar crap. With 266Mhz fsb and 333Mhz memory interface the boards now are too sensitive to cheep power supplies.
    Good Luck

  • 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-sr and AGP 8X

    Here's the issue:
    I can't get my board to recognize that I have an 8X aGP video card.
    I have KT4 with AMI BIOS 1.0 (have tried 1.1)
    VIA 4in1 drivers with AGP 3.0 support
    Radeon 2.4 catalyst drivers
    Tech support says to set AGP timing option in BIOS to "AUTO" ...... HOWEVER! this option does not exist in my BIOS regardless of version!
    Powercolor video card tech support denies any AGP timing limitation on their card and insist it should be recognized as 8X
    ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!!!!

    i admire your determination, but believe me its going to be a lot easier (and cheaper) to just buy another board. its not as easy as "finding the correct controller chip" and getting the soldering iron out. i certainly don't think you can just "buy" a single IEEE1394 controller IC off the shelf anywhere, and there's some VERY precise soldering in place, possibly through several layers too.
    as an alternative suggestion, you could always change your PCI network adapter to a USB type, then you could use a IEEE1394 PCI card

  • KT4 Ultra FISR and WD Raptor 74GB problems

    MSI KT4 Ultra FISR - MS6590
    Western Digital Raptor 74GB 10,000rpm - WD740
    Is it possible on the MS6590 to have a SATA drive on Ser1 but nothing on EIDE or Ser2? The reason I ask is that, I cannot get the drive to show in BIOS under "Standard CMOS". Thanks any help is appreciated.

  • KT4 Ultra-FISR and optimum memory speed/config

    http://www.msicomputer.com/product/detail_spec/product_detail.asp?model=KT4_Ultra-FISR
    Just about to get a Barton XP2800/333fsb
    I wonder which is better, which gives better performance....

    266fsb & 333ddr ram
    333fsb & 333ddr ram
    333fsb & 400ddr ram
    Any comments?. Considering the problems and cost premium of getting supported 400DDR
    Ray

    Thanks Bas,
    That was the conclusion I was coming to.
    I do editing of video, graphics and cad and 512MB is pushing the limits. I was considering going to 1G but I can't find 1G 4ooDDR here in Oz.
    Like you said, the board won't run 2 slots at 400, But maybe I can get 2x 512MB quality 333 and Since the fsb will run to 400, clock fsb @ + 5% or 10%....
    My feeling was if the processor pumps the data to ram at the same clock rate then the flow should be smoothest - no waits.

  • Kt4 ultra fisr and vcore

    Hi, I am using a 1800+ JIHUB DLT3C with this board. The strange thing is that the bios seems to only allow a maximum vcore setting of 1.6v with the DLT3C cpus. Was wondering if anyone else has encountered this, and if its possible to somehow increase the vcore. Thanks.

    That is true. Your vcore range is 1.45-1.6 volts(as was mine originally). To go to a higher range, you will have to close some L11 bridges on your chip. I closed all but the middle one, making my default voltage 1.75 and my range now is 1.7-1.85 volts.

  • KT4 Ultra-SR and IEEE 1394

    Hi,
    I would like to add the IEE 1394 to my board (no PCI slot available) so my question is if I can solder the missing components and if somebody did this and where I can find some info as what the components are and where to solder.
    Thanks,

  • KT4 Ultra Raid and W2K3 Server

    Hi, I am planning to install Windows 2003 Server on my machine. But before I go ahead and wipe everything from the hard drive I need to be sure there are proper drivers for my RAID controller in W2K3 Server. I doubt I can use the XP drivers? Currently I am running WinXP with the TX4000 drivers by Promise and that works fine! Anyone any experience with this mobo, raid and win2k3 server?

    yea well of course I can recert to XP and do have a GHOST image :D. OK just dl-led and burnt the evaluation version from MS, will let u know if it installed correctly (either Promise's driver disk or MSI for XP).

  • KT4 Ultra Disable the Onboard Sound?

    Hello I just purchased a KT4 Ultra board and need to disable the onboard sound so I can install my Audigy Platnium sound card. I do not see any documented jumpers or provisions in the bios. Could someone explain how to do this, and if your saying it exist in the bios please include the bios header it is under. Thankyou.

    JoJoMoJo,
    I since you have a KT4 and you posted in the nVidia/AMD/SiS Motherboard Forum, I moved the thread to Via forum for you.
