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.

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

KT4 ULTRA CRITICAL TEMPERATURE

What is critical temperature in the BIOS? Temperature for Shutdown...i am asking because a my fanless XP Athlon 1700+ when temperatures reach 72-73C tha systems does not shutdown HELP!

My Dear all you dont understand me...
I have a XP 1700+, a KT4 Ultra BSR and a GlobalWIN CAK II cooler...I remove the fan of the GlobalWIN cooler in order to check what is going to happen if fan fails...i set the critical temperature to 70C but when according to BIOS the temp was 71 72 my PC did not shutdown...This is what I am asking..Why the PC did not shutdown? Is BIOS premature? Critical Temp is the ShutDown Temp? There should be a thermal protection circuit....any thoughts will be helpfull

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

High CPU temperatures with Yosemite

Hi,
Today I made a clean install of Yosemite on my Macbook Pro. I saw a big difference of the cpu and other components temperature than Mavericks:
(the weather is not changed from yesterday)
Yosemite:
- Safari with only an open tab
cpu: 58°-67°
Mavericks:
- Safari with three open tabs (Facebook, Gmail, Youtube)
- Illustrator cs3 with an open file (big size an some vectors)
- iTunes
48°-52°
Also the battery lost 50 minutes of autonomy than the same situation with Mavericks
Yosemite uses too much cpu (gpu) resources or is a poorly optimised s.o.
Probably Istat Pro is still not too compatible wit the new os x....I hope in some fix or update that improves the situation (for Yosemite...)
Someone has encountered the same problem?
MacBook Pro (17-inch, Late 2011), 2,4 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

Open Activity Monitor and see what's running in the background under All Processes.
Whatever is using most of your CPU's resources is not needed, click on quit process and see if that helps keep your CPU run cooler.
Also, check your login items and see what's loading when you start your MB Pro. Uncheck those items if not needed and restart your computer.
I have a Late 2011 MB Pro that has an idle temp of 47 - 50 C.
Another possible solution, if you're techically competent, open the back of your MB Pro and blow off gently the inside of your MB Pro to get rid of any dust or particles inside your notebook.

How do you check CPU temperature w/o using Bios?

I saw many many posts about this and just want to make sure I get the correct software to do this (If I can) I'd like to be able to check my temperature without going to the BIOS.
Motherboard K9N2 SLI Platinum
Windows Vista 64 bit
AMD Phenom 9950 quad core processor 2.6 Ghz
Nvidea Geforce 9800 GTX
I saw several references to speedfan but just want to make sure I get the appropriate one. I just got this PC and would like to check the temp over the next few days just to see how everything is doing. Thank You .

P67A-GD65 (B3) i7-2600k CPU Sandybridge with wrong Ivybridge BIOS

Svet,
I downloaded the USB flash tool and am getting ready to use it but need to make sure I am doing this correctly.
IMS
You see, I made a mistake and upgraded my BIOS to an ivybridge version when I have a sandybridge . The current BIOS Is version E7681IMX v4.3. My MOBO is an MS-7681 V2.01
Before trying the forum update tool I tried to flash using the M-Flash utility but tells me that the BIOS is not compatible with this version.
I am not sure if you need more info, but I hope you can help me out. I rather not buy another MOBO but ready to do so if that is my last option.
Victor

If being at 4.3 going back to a Sandy bios is downgrading.
A downgrade requires a special archive and is impossible without.
If wanting to downgrade to 1.19/7681v1J (latest Sandy bios) you must use the attached and NOT unpacked archive.
For BIOS Update >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< => Mode 1: Point to archive file!
*NOTE: Make sure you unplug your PSU from A/C power and properly >>Clear CMOS Guide<< after flashing.

No Sound with KT4 Ultra - FISR -- HELP!

hey
I got a KT4 Ultra - FISR along with and XP 2400 and other goodies for christmas. I put the machine together and installed 98se, and all of the included drivers the came on the MSI Utilities disk. Everything was working perfectly with it (got 11752 on 3dmark 2001, is that a decent score?) anyways everything was cool except the on-board c-media sound was not working at all. ?( I have 2 speakers w/ sub and i have them plugged into the line out spot in the mobo. I have turned the sound on in my BIOS and messed with all the sound settings in windows and still i get no sound at all. I even unplugged the bracket that came with it for surround because i saw it could possibly cause some problems. I then checked all my connections and still no sound. X( I was woundering if there are any other settings or jumpers that i need to set for my sound to work. Any additional information on how to get my sound to work would be greately appreciated. My system specs are below. Thankz

Z68A-G43 - Bios shows cpu temperature incorrectly - noisy fan - SOLVED

Hi
I have i7-2600 + Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro rev.2 and when I use Z68A-G43 (G3), the cpu temperature shown in the bios is around 20 degrees higher ( 52-53 degrees C ) , than while I am using the same components on MSI H67MA-E35 or Asus P8H61M-LE/USB3 (30 -32 degrees in both cases ) !
I use the same thermal paste and the cpu & heat sink are definitely seated properly.
The on-board sensors are fine as when Windows is loaded, programs like HWINFO, PCWizard show the right, much lower temperature .
It wouldn't bother me that much since I know that nothing is getting overheated (the heat sink is cold ) ,however, the higher bios indications make the cpu fan spinning much faster ( 2000 rpms + ), I cannot slow it down thus I get a lot of noise coming out from it .
I updated bios to the newest 2.3 ( btw brilliant tool by Svet ) but there was no improvement, I still get the high temps and no option to control the fan.

Just checked again, Smart Fan works at the bios level too, so just the temperature shown is wrong (50-52) instead of ~ 30. I am happy customer now. Thanks again for your help.
This is pretty normal behaviour, my bios temp is ~40°C - 42°C, whilst in Windows the idle temp is ~25°C (depending all on ambient temps).
There are 2 reasons given, which one is correct or if they are both correct, I dont know, but they told me that in BIOS, the cpu utilization is much higher then in idle Windows desktop and/or it is as Jack already described, that powersaving options are not enabled in BIOS, but doing such a good thing in Windows, that the cpu drops its temps significantly.
The reason for the higher BIOS temp then others, can be in the cpu itself, some are just plain hotheads, or have flaky temperature sensors, for instance one core of my cpu will always be at 62°C max, while the other three peak at ~71°C, it just will not go over 62°C.

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

"......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?

Enermax CS-305 Black Case with Side window
Windows Xp Proffessional (no SP1)
A 350w Powerup powersupply (one that comes with the enermax cs-305 case)
Several Questions:
Processors/memeory
I thinking of changing the processor to an athlon xp. With one should i get? And why is that those processors which have the 333FSB are nearly £90 more expensive??? Does matching the fsb speed to your memeory speed increase peformance too?
Powersupplies
Is my current powersupply sufficient for my setup?
Is this PSW any good_ Q-Tec 550w Dual Fan (that is quite cheap)
And why is this one much more expensive? Enermax 460w
Cooling
using Fuzzy logic 4, the temp displayed is mostly 55-64. Is this too high? And can someone please explian how i find out the full load temps etc.
GFX Cards.
I have the 128MB agp 4x MSI GeForce4 ti4200 card running at 250 core/459 clock usign the MSIO clock tab in desktop properties. Can this safely go any higher?
USB Ports.
On my M/B i can get the top two ports to work fine, but not the bottom two. How come. I have the bracket installed also with the extra 2 usb ports - does this have something to do with it?
Thanks in advance.

1. KT4 Ultra can support upto the fastest XP2700+, you can get it provided you have money... Yes, FSB matching with memory speed the fastest.
2. Enermax has extra features such as fan-control adjust.
3. If it's idle, it's high. to get full load, just run some CPU benchmark and loop it.
4. Your question sounds like "if I buy lottery today will I win?" No comment on the overclockability.
5. Have you enabled ALL USB PORTs in the BIOS?

KT4 Ultra (6590) need update of the Promise SATA RAID Controller PDC20376

The last Bios update AMI 1.4 for the KT4 Ultra (6590) have built in the bios version 1.00.0.18 for the PDC20376 (Promise 376).
I can configure 2 maxtor (6E040T0) sata1 in a raid0 array and it works under WinXP SP3,
but the 2 drives are working in UDMA5 according to the FastBuild Utility when the motherboard specifications talks about 150Mb (SATA1).
It's not an OS problem because the FastBuild Utility at Bios startup show the UDMA5 mode for HDD.
It's not a Maxtor 6E040T0 (SATA1) problem because have no jumper to set.
The Promise support center don't provide support for built in raid controller but the responce was that it's related to a known bios issue of the controller, so i have to update.
For the last Bios version for the S150 TX4 controller look at:
http://promise.com/support/download/download2_eng.asp?productId=108&category=all&os=100&go=GO
It's impossible to update the bios with the promise tool because the controller is integrated in the motherboard.
I read for example than on the motherboard K7N2 Delta-ILSR the bios version of the Promise 376 controller is 1.00.0.21:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=92756.msg665966#msg665966
I think the only solution is a modding bios, where i have to replace only the Promise controller bios but:
1) The tool amibcp.exe can't open the A6590VMS.140 AMI bios (renamed .rom), i don't know why!!!
2) What promise controller bios rom file is good?
Can anyone out there help . . . please ?

This is my results compared to my other UDMA6 HDD on IDE1, HDTach long bench stop with "Read Error" and only quick bench works.
The version of the Controller driver under WinXP-SP3 is 1.0.1.29 and I configured the driver in the PAM Utility with:
"Driver Write Cache" enabled and "Write Back" as cache settings (The 2 Maxtor SATA1 in RAID have 2MB of cache, but i don't know How many cache have the controller!!).
The Burst Speed is too strange!!! quick bench error?
I made it so your image is clickable.

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
