KT4 ULTRA : CPU fan & AGP mode

Hello,
I have 2 problems :
1)Each first starting of my computer, there is 6 or 8 rings and it's written :
CPU fan isn't running? Y/N
In reality, the fan is running correctly, but it is thermoregulated.
This fan is connected to CFAN1 and I have another fan system in NBFAN1
Do you have a solution for this problem?
2)In my KT4 MS-6590 V1.0, I have the last VIA Chipset Drivers 4.51 and I have a new graghic card Hercules 3D Prophet 9600SE.
In the Bios, AGP MODE is in AUTO (grey), I can't change.
In reality, I saw it's AGP*2 or AGP*4, but not *8.
The informations in the Bios AGP Timing Control are :
AGP MODE : Auto
AGP Fast write : Enabled
AGP Aoerture Size : 256MB
AGP Master 1 W/SWrite : Disabled
AGP Master 1 W/SRead : Disabled
AGP Read Synchronization: Disabled
Can you tell me the reason why I can't affect 8 for AGP MODE
Thanks for your answer

Thanks for your answers.
Richard_2003, you are right, in the control panel, it's running at 8x.
OK for the mode "AUTO" in the Bios.
For the fan, it's good like this

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 CPU Upgrade Question

I am trying to upgrade my CPU from a 2100 XP to a 2800 XP on my KT4 Ultra and am running into trouble. I was under the impression that all I had to do was turn up the FSB frequency in CMOS and everything would be OK howerver this doesn't appear to be the case. Currently the FSB Freq. is set to 100 and I can get it above 104 or the system will not POST. Has anyone out there put a 2800 with the latest BIOS in a KT4? What setting need to be changed and what values should be used in CMOS??
Help please!!!!

set to 166

Command Center keeps reverting to CPU fan manual mode

some background:
i've had this system for a few months now running with no issues. back when i just got it, i ran into a problem with MSI Gaming App, where the 3 fixed modes would either run unjustifiably loud for the temps, or too quiet and hot. this is in comparison to prior installing the application. after i uninstalled it, the fans continued to behave as if on Gaming Mode, which was the last setting before removal of the application. being unable to trace the source of the setting, i did a Windows restore point to just prior first installation of the Gaming App, and sure enough - the fans calmed down, and temps returned to manageable ~32c.
today i gave a try to these apps seeing that they went through some upgrades. i played around with MSI Gaming App, and the Command Center to try the OC Genie/OC Mode features which appear to be the same thing. After noticing very marginal improvement in benchmarks i decided to go back to normal.
In the course of rerunning different benchmarks with and without OC Mode, i noticed that every time the system would reboot out of the OC Mode into Silent Mode, the fans would spin, but be rather quiet and temps would start to rise 50 and over with practically no load on the system. If i rebooted back into Gaming Mode, the fans would be loud, but with no system load the temps still about 10 degrees higher than before i installed these applications.
In Command Center i noticed that after each such reboot, the CPU fan always gets reverted to Manual Mode. I would change this to Smart Mode and hit Apply, yet after the next reboot the fans would again be in Manual Mode. I'm on the verge of again doing a restore point to get rid of these apps once and for all, but before i do that does anyone have any ideas of what is happening? this seems like clearly a software issue, as without involving MSI software the fans and temps behave just fine.
I found another thread where this was reported with another mobo, another processor, and a much earlier version of CC 1.0.0.83 or 87. mine is 1.0.0.97.
thanks for your time.

Kt4-ultra system fans

ok guys - was wondering if you could help me out here!
i am on a crusade to make my puter as quiet as a really quiet thing on national quiet day!
already got a nice solid case (lian li 60)
i have removed the via fan and replaced the whining little thing with a zalman northbridge heatsink (no need for fan)
proc fan is fairly quiet (it will do till i get a zalman flower or something similar)
2 front fans are sweet - hardly hear them at all!
ram just has copper heat sinks (again no fan)
insinde of puter - apart from the windowed bit has been sound proofed using akasa foam!
power supply fan is suprisingly quiet (it will do till i can afford a top of the range quiet one anyway)
but now to my problem!!!!
the rear system fan is literally blowing me away - lol
it is supposed to be a low noise all singing all dancing fan but it hasn't made any difference to the case original!
the reason i am posting here is because this new fan has the sensor line and connects to the mobo sfan 1 socket - which i assumed would alter the fan speed according to the temp of the system!
but the fan seems to be running at top whack all the time (now my system is running very cool, almost cold in fact - when i feel the air being pumped out of the fan it is still about room temp!
is there any sort of set up or progam i need to do/install before the system will start controlling the fan??
or do you have any other advice?

ok i downloaded and installed the latest pcalert 4
this has had no effect in altering fan speed - infact all i can get it to do is beep at me when i set my min temp to 50c - lol
help please someone - there must be a way of setting optimal temp values and the fans adjusting as needed!!
or am i expecting the mobo to do too much?
btw cpu temp is 38c (fan running at 2500)
system at 35c (fan running at 2766)

KT4 Ultra - cpu temperature with 1.4 bios

Hello,
this´s my first post; I need some advice with the cpu temperature in Bios, with the CPU alt option disabled in power managment, the temps are 3 to 4 degrees lower than the mobo has the 1.3 Bios. Some times the system temp. is 1 or 2 degrees higher than cpu. I should expect this difference with that option enabled just like coolerXP in windows.
Does anyone know wich bios is the accurate one?
Thank you.

The previous BIOS releases did have some temperature mesurement issues and 1.4 was meant to address them however people are reporting varrying temps now so we need to collect more data.

Still Cannot do anything on this board(KT4 Ultra)

So in the beginning I bought this new system, here are the specs:
(Original Specs)
MB: MSI KT4 Ultra
CPU: AMD XP 2200+
RAM1: 512MB PC2700
RAM2: 512MB PC2700
AGP: Nvidia Ti4200 128MB
PCI(All):Empty
IDE1: 80gig Western Digital
IDE2: literon 16x DVD
PSU: 300W
(cant think of anything else)
So when i got it home, I could not Install Win2K AT ALL, No matter what i did or tried still would not install.
So after awhile i said forget it and install WinXP, worked installed fine(or so i thought). I installed SP1, d/l all the updates. d/l VIA 4.45 and for the graphics card i d.l the latest certified drivers. Well i thought i was in the clear, but then i started getting errors or problems while trying to run games or 3D apps(cinema4D). So i went through all the forums and ended up replacing the PSU witha Antec true power 480, and the CPU cooler with a volcano 9. but still nothing but problems so i took it back to my dealer and they deemed the mobo bad or something and gave us a new one.took it home and still Errors, did a fresh install of winxp(win2k could still not install)Still erros everywhere. so i took back to them again. and they claimed this time that the cpu cooler was to big and wasent makeing full contact, and gave us a smaller one(i think a volcano7?) i was like alright that is understandable. got it home did fresh install AND STILL Errors.
I dont know what to do, lets see i cant run 3Dmark2001SE program just quits no error. Quake3 quits,Cinema4D says it has generaded errors and needs to quit. at first PCMark2002 did not work, But i was runnin a test on my harddrives and C: would keep failing, so i looked in one of the logs and said something about memory, so i changed my swap file to D: and boom PCmark2002 went all the way trough its tests, and i could do tests on my c and d without any errors but i still can use 3d apps?
Any ideas please
Thanks in advanced
David

boy
"......so i took back to them again. and they claimed this time that the cpu cooler was to big and wasent makeing full contact, and gave us a smaller one(i think a volcano7?)....."
THATS SO NOT TRUE ?
Volcano 9+ was a nice copper base, and it makes great contact with the cpu core
Man i built a simliar PC for a friend:
MSI KT4-Ultra (bios version 1.3)
Athlon XP2400+ FSB266 Retail Box
TT Volcano 9+ using box white paste
Kingston 512 MB PC2700 RAM
Ati Radeon AIW 7500 AGP4x
WD 80 GB 7200 RPM
LG52x24x52x CDRW
CNET 10/100 NIC
Windows XP Pro SP1 /Via 4.45
SP CASE Tower 400watt psu
maybe, it can be your memory, thats my guess
or could be you setting AGP8x?

KT4 Ultra crashing/rebooting problems

Hi all, I've been having computer crashing/rebooting problems when I play 3d games since I got this board. It can happen between 1-40 minutes during a game session and when the computer crashes, the screen would garble up and reboot along with the garbled screen until I cold boot it. I thought it was a heat problem at first but the cpu heat displays at between 34C-39C. Also, when I tried switching out the video card with an older one, the computer works fine during gameplay, and my newer video card ran fine on a friend's computer. Does anyone know of a way to fix this?
System specs are:
Motherboard: MSI KT4 Ultra
CPU: AMD AthlonXP 2400
Power: 300watt
Ram: PC 2700 333mhz DDR 256MB
Video: Gainward Geforce4 Ti4200 Power Pack Plus! Ultra 650 64MB
Sound: Onboard
Thanks

by the sound of it try a bigger psu,antec enermax over 400 watts
make sure fan on cards not loose

KT4 ULTRA PROCESSOR HELP REQUIRED.

Is there any wise person who can enlighten me with the most recent information regarding the largest AMD processor that can be used to replace my current XP 2200+ processor on my KT400 ULTRA mainboard without the need to overclock. MSI emailed and did not get back to me. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

your memory will need to be PC 2700 or PC 3200
not sure what you have now.

KT4 Ultra bios page may need at least bios 1.3 to recognise Barton 3000+

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 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.

KT333 - KT3 Ultra MS-6380E CPU FAN PROBLEMS

Yesterday I installed my new motherboard:
Athlon XP2000+
KT333 - KT3 Ultra MS-6380E
256Mb DDR RAM Running at 266Mhz
MSI Geforce 4 Ti4200 64Mb DVI TV AGP Graphics
Everything was installed correctly and when I switched on my pc, the bios was reporting CPU FAN not running.
I checked my connection on the motherboard and it was correctly connected up to CFAN1.
After playing around abit, I tried connecting this to PSFAN1 and the FAN started spinning but the problem was still there.
Why does my motherboard Fan on CFAN1 not spin??? But spins on PSFAN1??
When my fan was on PSFAN1 it was also fluctuating but i guess thats because of my PSU which is 230 Watts (which i am going to upgrade today to 300W or 400W.
Also with kit installed how can i set up my bios to run at its best?????!?!?
Please help...
Mits

Hi,
You probably have a high-speed-fan, and you blown the fan-header of the motherboard....
Fan's like these need to be connected to the powersupply directly and only connect the sensor wire to the motherboard....

KT4 Ultra (6590) - NB Chipset Sensor Fan

The KT4 Ultra have three Fan Power Connectors, how can i read in the manual:
"Fan Power Connectors: CFAN1/SFAN1/NBFAN1
The CFAN1 (processor fan), SFAN1 (system fan) and NBFAN1
(NorthBridge fan) support system cooling fan with +12V. It supports three pin
head connector."
The mobo have onboard a Winbond W83697HF sensor chipset.
With every software (PCAlert,Speedfan,Everest) i tried to read sensors statistics (Temp/Fan speed), i can read only two stats.
I have three fan connected:
1 for the CPU - CFAN1 (i can read Temp and Fan speed)
1 for the system - SFAN1 (i can read Temp and Fan speed)
1 for the NorthBridge - NBFAN1 (provided by the mobo itself and i can't read stats)
The NBFan is working and is three pin capable (three wires).
Every software show only two stats and not three with one all zero.
Now i have to change the fan or simple the mobo don't provide stats for the NB chipset?
someone with the same mobo can read this stats?
Thanks for every help.

Has it been like this for 5+ years? Probably the sensor is gone or damaged. Don't think so, but it is also possible the fan connection is damaged, so not all three reach the motherboard. (Upside down?)
If you have no problem I wouldn't worry about it. Once you start experiencing problems get a fanless heatsink, from Zalman for example. Think this will fit:

I suspect you have hardware problem with a fan sensor. Doing a software install will not help the machine needs to be taken in for service. If you run Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode it should reveal the error code. If it does not then run AHT an additional 2-3 times to be sure in Extended Mode. Each pass will take about 30-60 minutes.
