KT4 Ultra & XP 2800 CPU

I currently have a KT4 ultra board with Crucial Pc2700 DDR Ram (running at 333mhz) current fsb 146Mhz. I am wanting to upgrade the CPU to an XP2800.
Does anyone have one running at 333mhz on this board?
Is it stable?
Is it fast?
Comments welcome

  • Does the KT4 Ultra Support Sempron CPU's ?

    Does the KT4 Ultra support Sempron CPU's ?  The CPU support page doesnt seem to mention this motherboard....
    If it does what BIOS rev do I need ?
    If it doesnt what will MSI add it, as I see that the KT4V does support the Sempron ?
    Thanks.

    Sorry, above should read as follows :

  • KT4 Ultra-BSR multipler & CPU volts on XP2400 dont work!

    Well after several atempts and clearing the cmos several times the multipler dosnt work on XP2400 and when you go to change the cpu voltage from auto it comes up with strange symbols not a voltage to select! so iam stuck at 141fsb and CPU voltage set to auto i can change the FSB only except lower or to 141, why is it asus and epox can change the multipler and we cant on our MSI KT4 Ultra, iam disapointed and who wouldnt be after all others can change there multipler!
    any surgestions would be welcome and i think MSI should address this problem with a bios update and also look at the voltages for CPU as symbols mean nothing to me! ?(

    Oops, I meant how did you connect the module to the motherboard??  I can't find anyway in which to connect it directly into the mobo, and I didn't get a cable with mine.  (I still haven't got to the software side of it yet - the hardware has been my prob for the past few weeks, no-one seems to be able to answer me).
    Hope you can tell me how to do it (pref with some pics or something coz I'm starting to think my retailer sent me the wrong board).
    Thanks!

  • KT4 Ultra Bios 1.2 Doesnt Work

    I have just updated my Bios to verison 1.2 and the computer wont go into windows.
    Infact I have found the problem to be the USB Via chipset thats at fault. I have Windows Me and the the computer freezes every time it tries to load USB.
    I have put version 1.1 back on an no problems.
    I have reloaded windows and  the following error appears.
    Windows has had to disable the USB function due to a internal problem.
    I try to reload the drivers and it freezes.
    I have just spent 8 hours to find the problem was the usb chipset.
    Does anyone else have the problem ??
    Thanks

    I am running a KT4 Ultra with XP2000 Cpu. I updated my bios from 1.1 to 1.2 over the weekend, and now my once stable system is giving me no end of problems.
    1, It would not recognise my primary hard drive and I had to clear the bios with the jumper four time before it would let me boot up.
    2, Once I booted up and ran 3dmark, it was okay the first time but the second time the machine crashed and totally corrupted my hard drive. I had to reformat my hard drive and load a backup (two weeks old).
    3, I have now re-flashed my bios back to 1.1 but although the system is working I keep getting CRC errors when trying to backup my hard drive to my secondary drive. This did not happen before.
    This 1.2 bios seems more like a rushed beta version than a real bios update, it has given me loads of problems and I now have a system which is still not working properly.  Bios upgrades are supposed to fix problems not create them!!
    I would NOT touch this 1.2 with a long barge pole !!!

    I buy my PSUs at http://www.digitgate.com.  They have two that are approved by AMD, a 340W for $24, and a 400W for $36.  Specs on the 340W are:
    3.3V @ 28A
    5V @30A
    12V @15A
    285W max
    I've been very happy with those PSUs.  The company is located in El Monte, CA (in the Los Angeles metropolitan area), and they allow local pickup.  Jerry is the sales guy, and Eddie runs the warehouse; feel free to tell them I referred you.  I've been a happy customer of theirs since the 386DX40.

    Reads from internal diode sensor on those AMD chips that have one.  Otherwise it comes from a sensor on the circuit board under the socket-a.

  • 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!!!!

  • KT4 Ultra / Incorrect CPU report

    Hey chaps, I have had a look around the MSI site and forum, but cant seem to see any suggestions of a resolution for this:
    KT4 Ultra (BIOS A6590VMS.140)
    512 DDR Ram
    Was running very happily and reporting correct CPU speed for an XP1800+
    Swapped CPU for a thoroughbred XP2600+, flashed BIOS to latest, set the BIOS settings to as directed in the CPU support table (FSB 133, ratio="auto"), and the CPU is reported as XP2000+
    Any ideas chaps or are we looking at faulty CPU?

    there is no 12v connector on the KT4 Ultra (well, not on mine at least!).

  • KT4 Ultra memory/cpu requirements

    Does the kt4 ultra HAVE to have the "certified" ddr400 ram for it to work, or work faster?
    Is the highest cpu possible a xp 2700+ to fit into the kt4 ultra?
    i want to know, because iam builing a puter and i was going to get a 2500+, but if it only supports up to 2700+ i might as well get it.

    Say I buy a athlon xp 2500+ barton right now, and then a couple years from now i want to upgrade, what if theres a 4000+, could I get that>? or would I have to get a whole new motherboard to upgrade my cpu, because it will only support up to 3000+?
    Lets get real here please!!
    Does anyone really know what cpus will be around in two years time. AMD can't even get their timetable sorted for the 64bit processors yet.
    If it's a barton 4000 then it will probably run on your KT4 Ultra with a bios upgrade. Hammer CPUs will be on a totally different motherboard, and you can't buy one now!!
    How much life do you really expect to get out of a motherboard, technology changes so fast that in two years time you will probably need a different type of memory, hard drive interface and graphics sub system.
    The KT400 or Kt400a chipset gives you a good base for the forseeable future, for anything else it going to be a crystal ball job.

  • 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 : 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

    Richard_2003, you are right, in the control panel, it's running at 8x.
    OK for the mode "AUTO" in the Bios.

    KT4 Ultra has taken off 4 holes for CPU HSF like Swiftech and Alpha and some watercooling heatsink. This is really too bad.
