KT4V-L & FX 5900 Question.

Hi all,
I just set my Geforce FX 5900 256MB onto my MSI KT4V-L Mobo and got everything working but what are the best settings for the AGP and the apature size ?
Im not 100% sure there is a option for the AGP in the bios it just sets to what it can handel witch i guess with this card will be 8x
The apature size is 128 would it be better with 256 ?
Sys Specs
Windows XP
Athlon XP 2000+
1GB DDR 400Mhz Ram
Geforce FX 5900 Ultra 256MB
MSI KT4V-L

Well its starting to get anoying, Changes the 128 to 256 and noticed a few changes but sounds chopy in a high spec game and gfx are sorta weird to.
Only things i can think are causing the problem are
1) via version
2) that option *algo not showing in gfx menu*

  • Just orderded a KT4V-L - system fan question

    Building first PC.  Dowloaded the KT4V-L manual and I can only see two fan sockets - one for heatsink fan and one for a system fan.  I would like to add two system fans (one at the front of the case and one at the back) - is this possible?

    Thanks.  Is it just me or this forum really slow when changing page, sometimes even timing out?

  • ~~KT4V~~ Front Panel Pin Connectors (USB + Audio)

    Hello All
    I have a few questions on setting up the front panel pin connectors from my case to my new KT4V board.
    First question: USB
    My case is usb 2.0 (Raidmax Scorpio)it has two seperate pin connectors a 4 pin and a 4 pin + GND pin on the second wire. I assume I put the GND in the JUSB1 #10 slot which is marked (USBOC) in my manual. Is this correct?
    Second Question: Front Audio (Microphone, Headphones)
    The front panel Audio Connector: JAUD1
    The four pin connectors that my case has labeled is:
    1. MIC DATA
    2. MIC GND
    3. EAR R
    4. EAR L
    I am pretty sure MIC DATA goes in pin #1, and MIC GND goes in pin #2. As far as both EAR pins, I am not sure and would appreciate some help in this.
    Thanks in advance.
    ncarme  :D

    I know, I have the book in front of me. But the names on the board and my case are different. Thanks for the info on the usb, how about the audio inputs.
    Thanks.

  • 2 KT4V-L questions

    Hi.
    I have a KT4V-L and an xp2400+.  I would like to change the multiplier, so I can up the fsb.  I thought KT400 was supposed to allow for multiplier changing on new T-Bred B's.  The multiplier is currently set on auto.  I have tried a few different multiplier settings, each time having to clear the CMOS because the computer wouldn't boot.  I even set the multiplier to 15x, which is the factory set multiplier and it still wouldn't boot.  I might go so far as to take out the cpu and manually unlock it, but the hsf was hard to put on, and I don't want to take it off.  
    That leads me to the second question.  The hsf I'm using is the Vantec Aeroflow w/ TMD fan.  The bios doesn't detect a cpu fan, I don't know if that is a bios problem or the fan.  Not really important, but just want to find out what's wrong.
    Thx for any help,
    nismo

    no worries,
    as far as the CPU goes I believe it is still locked (unless you obtained one that was factory unlocked), and cant be unlocked by the BIOS "yet", however the Tbirds can be unlocked very quickly and with less mess than the Palamino's.  A good guide is here.

  • Upgrading kt4v mobo, some questions

    hi,
    recently I bought a Kt4v mobo, but I still use an amd 1.2 ghz duron as processor, therefore my mobo is set to 100fsb atm with is bad  ;(
    I'm thinking about upgrading to an AMD athlon but I have some questions.
    I'd like to get my FSB at 166, I'm currently using 2 256mb DDR ram sticks with a speed of 333mhz, is that possible?
    (well, actualy one is 400mhz, but as this mobo only supports one stick of ddr400, it's set to 333)
    what is the fastest Processor my mobo can handle with that kind of ram?
    and should I change other speeds when installing it like my AGP bus speed etc.. to prevent them beiing damaged after upping the fsb?
    that's all, If someone could answer these I'd be very gratefull, thx
    oh yeah, specs:
    AMD duron 1.2 ghz 200fsb
    KTV4 MSI mobo
    Point of view Geforce 4 TI 4280 128mb
    512 MB DDR 333mhz
    Maxtor 80 gig 7200rpm
    samsung 20 gig 5400rpm
    Logitech mx 700 mouse
    wondows XP Pro
    3com nic etc etc etc

    or is it set automatically?
    Yepp!
    Quote
    are Athlon Xp's unlocked by default...should set the multiplier like this then: 12.5 X 166= 2158 mhz
    Just let the board handle it, all bios-settings on AUTO.
    Quote
    250 watt which might be on the low side
    I think the board wouldn't even boot... :D
    Psu should have more then 25A/3.3V, 35A/5V and 200W combined power.

  • KT4V-L & GeForce FX 5900

    Anyone know if the MSI KT4V-L supports the GeForce FX 5900 and if there are any compatibility problems with it ?
    Will my system cope fine with the card as these are my specs.

    no reason why not so long as you have a descent power supply

  • 5900 td128 question

    Can any one tell me what the core/memory spec is on the fx 5900 td128 card? 3Dmark 03 is reporting it as 300/850. I have the new WHQL drivers installed and so can't install coolbits.
    thanks

    It runs 300/850 in 2D mode and 400/850 in 3D.
    3D Mark tests the clock in 2D mode so it's reading the wrong one.
    Get coolbits from here ( this one worked for me on the FX5900 ), you will see what I'm talking about.

  • MSI KT4V-L temp question

    I have a MSI KT4V-L board and I want to know if this board reads the temperature from the thermistor that is below the CPU or directly from the CPU's core. I understood that the new AMD XPs (I have a XP 1700+ Thoroughbred) have a built-in sensor and the boards can read the temp from it.
    As software, I use Motherboard Monitor, the latest version.
    Thanks

    i figure they read from to core.  the same setup as mine (same parts) with a different mobo the temps are about 10-15C lower.

  • Bios update questions for KT4V

    Hey, I updated my bios and I have been having trouble getting my mainboard to work properly.  I found out that I had to clear my cmos after updating the bios (I didn't see anything about doing that in the bios setup area).  
    So I cleared the cmos, and I still have to detach the monitor from the video card for the computer to startup.  
    Another thing I have a question about is that when I startup the computer, it says that I have a 1250 processor, when I have a 2000+ processor.  I adjusted the fsb speed to 133 (although I could have done something else?), and that "fixed" the problem, but after I turned off the computer it wouldn't turn back on again (four red lights in back, no matter what).  I cleared the cmos again and the computer started up.  Are there any settings I should leave alone? ?(

    Okay, I set the fsb speed to 133, and the computer starts up, but only after I detach the video card, turn on the computer, turn off the computer, reattach the video card, and then turn on the computer.  
    All the lights on the D-bracket stay red, which is supposed to mean that the processor is damaged or not installed properly, but the processor works fine in other mobos, and I'm sure the processor is installed properly.  The lights stay red until I turn off the computer, detach the vid card, turn on the computer, let it boot for a couple seconds, turn off the computer, reattach the vid card, and then turn on the computer, at which point the computer starts up normally.  
    I have no idea what the problem is.

  • KT4V Question about CPU

    his CPU AMD Athlon XP2500+ Processor 333 FSB Barton Core
    run on this board I see it can handle the 333FSB but I dont see the Barton listed as a CPU? Any Ideas? Thanks Guys/Gals :D

    Thanks for the quick replys I figured it would but i wanted to double check it out first with the forum, Has anyone actually ran this chip on this board yet? if so what kinda of problems if any did you run in to ( i know this board had ALOT of trouble with FSB settings and all for awhie there.

  • KT4V (MS6712) questions.

    Hi, A few months ago I picked up this mobo cheap and have been happily running an XP2400 cpu along with a 9800pro and 512mb PC2100 RAM but am now thinking of upgrading.
    Would I be right in saying that a 3000XP cpu is the fastest this board supports with the latest Bios ?  Also what is the fastest DDR Ram I can use with this board ?
    I have downloaded the newest bios (1.9 ?) but have yet to flash it, is it easy ?  Do you have to do it from the floppy drive as I haven't got one ?
    Thanks.

    It is possible that running the RAM and CPU at different speeds could be the cause of the errors. It is always best to run CPU & RAM at 1:1 ratio for best stability.
    But, with the RAM causing errors at it's rated speed, it generally means the RAM is bad. As you bought it thru Ebay, I would guess someone has overclocked it in the past, thereby damaging it. As long as it runs great at 266, and causes no errors, you could just run it at that speed. However, if you decide to upgrade the CPU to a 333FSB, you could run into the same problem again.
    Another option to try, is raising the RAM voltage to 2.6V or 2.7V and try the memtest again. Sometimes increasing the voltage will allow RAM to work better, more so for large sticks of RAM.

  • Kt4v w/geforce4 ti 4200

    I have a kt4v via kt400 chipset based MSI board that I purchased 2 weeks ago online.  I have had nothing but problems and I believe the problem is with the MB.
    With the MB I purchased an AMD 2400+ CPU plus 333Mhz 2700 DDR Ram.  I have a GeForce4 TI 4200 64mb AGP Video card installed.
    I first tried installing windows 2000.  During the install I get a Blue Screen stating that ACPI support is not available on this MB and I have to install without ACPI support to continue.  In an attempt to fix it I updated the bios to 1.6.  This caused MANY many lock-ups.  When I backed-off to 1.5 things seemed to work better but what I did notice was that w2k sp 3 made things a whole lot worse (know that I formated my computer about 10 times and re-installed trying the many combinations)
    Then I tried Windows XP Prof.  It doesn't, error it just hangs during the text part of the install.  If I disable ACPI support in the bios it installs, but I believe this is a feature that is requried and advertised.  Now that I have XP installed (bios level is still at 1.5 plus ACPI is disabled) I still have problems.  At what appears to be random intervals the screen will goto about 320x200 resolution and then thick white verticle lines within blocks appear all over the screen and eventually the computer is completely locked (sorry, this is hard to explain).
    Initially, I would believe this to be a video card problem, BUT here are my reasons for thinking otherwise.  1.  The ACPI problem that still exists makes me think this board is flawed ??  2.  I have owned this card for 6 months and used in my last computer without incident.  
    Sorry for the long question but I wanted to show that i've tried many different scenarios before resorting to this.

    OK, I have run memtest on my computer with no errors.
    I found on another thread that I may have a bad video card, but that doesn't explain why I can't install an OS with ACPI enabled.
    Is there anyone out there who can help ?
    THANKS SO MUCH IN ADVANCE.

  • Kt4v possible problem with bios 1.8 and hd

    Any Idea anyone with this one.
    system running well till the other day when hd went very slow even after defrag, install bios 1.8 and reset the bios and adjusting it for my setup. Come to check my harddrive with maxtor powerdiag 3.04 and could not find the drive or any other drives connected. In the bios setup the drive is present. I removed all drives, cdroms, etc except the maxtor main hd and tried again with the same result. After placing in an ata100 controller card in to a spare pci slot and plugged the hd on to it, that the software sees the drive. The test finished and show the HD to be fine.
    The question is do I have a problem with the onboard contoller or with the new bios or both.
    When I first got this MB I did the same test with the original bios and the hd connected to the MB controller and the software had no problem seeing that and other drive connected.

    I'll stick with the V1.10, but I'd fell better if MSI showed me they actively update their systems by releasing updated BIOS files from time to time.
    I can't sell a 15000$ storage system that doesn't recognise the CPUs installed. The customer would laugh and tell me to come back with a supported system.
    Isn't this a VERY valid reason for wanting updates? Even if it only is an updated CPU list?
    The only reason I tried this MSI board is that it was the only one available with my retailer at the time I bought it with 3 PCI-X 100Mhz slots. Maybe I should go with a Tyan Thunder next time. Tyan at least show some activity.

  • Questions on heat, hard drive, graphics 1.5GHz

    I am considering a new Powerbook 12 inch to replace the 15 inch TiBook I just traded in at Powermax -- stretching the budget to the current 15 is tough, especially when there still seem to be at least some firmware questions if not hardware -- and the small 12 is tempting. Whatever it is, it has to be a Mac, and due to monitor spanning, it has to be a Powerbook.
    So some questions.
    How is the 12 inch these days for heat? Obviously heavy hard drive activity (such as all the demos they run on it in the Apple Store) will heat up the left side wrist rest given where the hard drive is, but how is it for typing on in actual day-to-day use?
    Anyone tried the 100GB 5400RPM BTO? Of course the 80GB 5400 is standard, but is there any significant speed difference between the two (denser platters usually mean faster transfers).
    How about the Nvidia 5200 graphics card? Any bottlenecks I should be aware of compared to a Radeon 9550/9600/9700?
    And, any difference in durability compared to the 15?
    Lastly, how about the display? They seem a bit dim in the store, but they also seem like they have a jiggered stock profile. How about when you hardware profile it properly (I have a ColorVision Spyder2Pro)?

    As far as video chipsets go, a 5200 is not going to run with the ATi 9600 or better in terms of fps for the gpu, I'm not sure about the 9550. The 9600XT, and I'm using one in a desktop, roughly runs with the 5700 Ultra and a little behind the 5900 in nvidia's lineup. I'd say as far as notebook gpu's go, all those gpu's are dated and are in need of revising. The 5200 is a couple years old and so are the ATi gpu's, that is for desktops. But when you look @ PB specs, a 9700 128 MB video vs 64 MB FX5200, the 9700 is way ahead.

  • Another port question - multiple Macs behind the same firewall

    I've searched for this issue, but I can't seem to find a topic directly on point. I know how to forward the right points for this to work, but...
    I'm coming from outside the network, and I need to control multiple machines that are behind the same firewall. I can't forward a port to more than one machine. How do I control all these machines?

    To be able to connect to a workstation from outside it's network, the ports that ARD uses must be open on both ends of the connection. ARD uses ports 3293 and 5900 so those must be open.
    If your workstations get their addresses from an NAT device rather than being "real", as seems to be the case from your description, the ports also need to be forwarded in the router to the workstation's internal IP address. ARD uses port 3283 for the reporting and updating function, so if your Macs are getting their IP addresses through NAT, since you can only forward a port to a single workstation, you can only get reports, push package/files to etc. for a single workstation.
    ARD uses the VNC protocol for observation and control, though, and there are a range of IP addresses for that protocol, starting with 5900. ARD uses 5900 by default, so that port would be forwarded to the first workstation. You would, I believe, need to install VNC servers on the systems (since the ARD client cannot listen on any port other than 5900 while VNC servers can be set for other ports such as 5901, 5902, etc. You would then forward 5901 to the second workstation (and on to 5902, 5903, etc.). You can then use the following information:
    Remote Desktop 2: How to specify a port number for a VNC client
    to connect.
    Hope this helps.
