KT880 DELTA & PCI/AGP Lock ?

I read some article about KT880 DELTA and there was written, it has PCI/AGP lock .. is it right ? If yes, which setting in BIOS is it ?
thx for any answer

I have heard this board will have that feature, but I cannot confirm it. If it does have the PCI/AGP lock, it would be the first VIA chipset to include this feature.
I would think it could be found in the "Frequency and Voltage" section of BIOS.

  • Pci/agp Lock

    Can anyone tell me if there is a way of establishing whether the KN8 NEO 2 PLATINUM WIFI has a fully funtional AGP/PCI LOCK.
    Custom PC says it does not others insist it does. I believed that Nvidia had long since cracked this issue on Nforce 3 250 Ultra boards
    what should the multiplier be set at for an FX53 on the board.
    How can I overclock my Ram, I purchased it because of it's ability to run much faster and retain tight timings. I cannot see how to increase it's speed, does this depend on processor or FSB setting.
    Can anyone explain what I need to do to achieve a reasonable overclock,  bios settings etc...
    Thanx...

    please feel free to ignore or delete, have re posted to Nvidia.
    Soooooo Sorry.......

    I like this board :-)
    Where you can see AGP/PCI frequency?
    I havent got FSB high enough to see it in windows,but in memtest86+ i started to get picture corruption @ 240MHz FSB.
    I´m still trying to get this run stable, atm i´m running 12x205MHz and uptime is about 10hours.
    I´m not sure anymore is it this 2-phase power regulation which makes all these random boots.  
    Last boot was at 12x210MHz 2.0V and i was running EpoX 8K3A+ 12x212MHz 1.95V.

  • Locked PCI/AGP

    I have the K7N2-Delta L. Is the PCI/AGP bus speed locked automatically or do I have to change settings for these items in bios?  I oc'd fsb to 200Mhz w/333Mhz ram runs good but Ghost Recon has graphic noise bars and blips in sound when I run it.  I have faster memory on way soon (400Mhz) and video card is slightly oc'd by 25Mhz on Core and Memory.  I guess my memory is causing these problems right? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated gonna knock back oc'ing till I get faster memory, just wanted to experiment.

    Yea, It's the RAM. I just ran Memtest86+ and got errors on test 5.   I've RMA'd a 512 MB stick back to Kingston, expecting replacement next week. I must say I really get a buzz with this oc'ing.  I believe with 400Mhz ram I could run steady with my 2500+ Barton CPU set at 200Mhz FSBx2 no problem maybe even a little more. I might even be able to increase the multiplier a bit more to tweak out a little more speed from cpu. It'd be great to bet 12.5x 200 at 2500Mhz.        I believe I got a good cpu for oc'ing can take the heat (oh yea, I'm replacing Tt Silent Boost fan with 92MM H/S fan at I believe 81 CFM's @ 3600 RPM's( instead of 27.5 CFM's @ ~2500  RPM's).  Noise doesn't bother me, I'm deaf in one ear anyways. I just want to push my system to edge of envelope (so to speak).   Actually I'm cheap, I want a 3200+ at 2500+ prices.  

  • 875p, I CANT LOCK my PCI / AGP Frequency using FAST,TURBO, or ULTRA

    i have an 875p neo. i am one setting away from loving this mainboard(finally). i have a 2.8ghz running at 3.0 (with a 1:1 FSB/RAM). i can run stable in TURBO MODE, with "timings by SPD". i am using 1.7 bios (1.8 gives me lower performance). i tried all the bios from 1.4 and up. my problem is I CANT LOCK MY AGP/PCI frequency. no matter what, it boots up in windows as 70/35, but only when using FAST,TURBO,or ULTRA PERFORMANCE MODE. my agp/pci frequency locks fine at 66/33(67/34) if i run in SLOW MODE, but any other performance mode setting overclocks the AGP PCI frequency to 70/35. this causes my ATI 9700np to freeze almost instantly while playing any game. luckily my ATI card has unlocked bios or the problem would be worst. i have been using CLOCKGEN to throw the settings back to 66/33 when windows loads, and i get no freezes. BUT I WANT A PERMANENT FIX MSI. not a CLOCKGEN patch. my question to you all out there:
    IS THERE A particular BIOS THAT I CAN USE THAT will LOCK THE PCI/AGP FReQUENCY while using FAST,TURBO, and ULTRA PERFORMANCE MODES? or another way to lock the setting in the bios?any suggestions? thanks
    EDIT 2:
    i just remembered, i forgot to tell you all. my agp/pci lock works fine if i run my ram in 333mhz mode. i have 400mhz ram. i was a running 1:1 ratio. agp/pci doesnt lock only if i use "auto" or "400mhz" settings. it run fine when i have my ram set to run at 333mhz. are you runnig at 400mhz or 333mhz? if 333mhz i can see why i left you guys confused...sorry.

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MY FIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    WELL I GUESS WE HAVE TO USE THE GHETTO FIX FOR NOW:
    (i am assumming this is an ATI CARD only PROBLEM)
    download clockgen and install it. check your AGP/PCI frequency. if it reads  70/35 then you have a problem, which will cause your ATI card to freeze up during a period of use.
    unlock your cards bios(if it's not already unlocked). this will allow room for the 70/35 AGP/PCI frequency overclock. get info from rage3d.com forum on how to unlock your  ATI card.
    make your clockgen settings startup when windows boot, @***ghz, 66/33 agp/pci(read the clockgen instructions on how to run clockgen on boot)
    download radclocker and install it.
    set the AGP core/mem clock speeds to what you desire. then bump down the core TWO NOTCHES, then the memory down TWO NOTCHES then click "use current" bios button. 70/35 boot overclock pushes your ATI core/memory up two notches, so by setting radclocker 2 notches , radclocker takes the 70/35overclock two nothes lower. you have your desired speed. then clockgen throws your agp/pci frequency back to 66/33....which makes everything work right. it all boots in the right order for me.
    explaination:
    when windows starts it boots your agp/pci frequency@ 70/35. you need to be at 66/33 AGP/pci frequency for your ati card to run correct and not lock up after intense gameplay. radclocker underclock your card.clockgen puts your agp/pci to 66/33 AGP/PCI frequency.

  • Agp/pci clock locking help please

    i have the 865pe neo, using patriot memory with winbond 5ns chip, have no problem running at 250mhz in corecenter, however when i try to o/c in bios, when with the agp/pci clock locked, i can still it increasing up to 80mhz/xxxmhz as i increase the front bus speed of the cpu, anyone having the same problem with this board? will new bios fix this? by the way , i can't manually change the agp/pci clock , it's grayed out and "locked" this ths only option available under "apg/pci clock" there's no manual setting, soeone please help i can bring this board back to get the 875p if thats  needed
    thanks fo ryou help

    Hi tgn,
    MSI have this feature locked to prevent us from o/c the CPU multipiler settings. Can't say that whether this is good or bad for o/clockers like us. Unlike Abit which unlocks everything, MSI keep settings to what the mobo detects the CPU model is, i.e, if you're running a P4 2.4, then your Multipiler settings will be 18x with 133 FSB x 4 to make 2400+- MHz, try calculating the mathematics way and you'll know how far you can o/c to.
    Corecenter o/cing is another way MSI sets as it will directly show you the speed your CPU is running at vs the multipiler settings.
    All the Best... :D!!!

  • KT880 DELTA mainboard and 2D speed decrease

    Hi there!!
    I have upgraded mainboard from MSI K7T266 Pro2-A to MSI KT880 DELTA.
    After that upgrade, speed of 2D Graphics radically decreased. I was trying to change values of AGP in BIOS (Speed, Fastwrite), but really nothing helped.
    It is really annoying. The screen is scrolling, everything is drawing very slow. I am working with 2D graphics...
    I have GeForce 2 MX400. (I am working in 2D, so i don't need to buy new card)
    Is some possibility to fix this problem?

    Didn't quite understand if you did the Repair install of Windows, with the following updates. Please have as little hard ware as possible when doing this. Add PCI-cards etc afterwards.
    Here is where you can do a 5 minute check of your system:
    http://www.pcpitstop.com/
    Another thing you should consider is the antivirusprogram. Try having it disabled. Also have a try-out while in SafeMode.
    Edit: As Dr Stu advices:
    Codegen makes silent both 350 and 400 Watt PSUs. Please say a bit more on what PSU you got.
    Edit: Went to PCPitstop myself for a check of the 2D results. Hrm, I don't want to brag, but... To explain, the first list of numbers is for the score, the second the resolution, the third how many tested PCs with that config, and finally the name and model of the graphics card.

  • 2D Screen Draw Issues - KT880 Delta

    Ok, here I am again after resolving all the other issues.
    It would appear that I am having some slight 2D screen draw issues.  As with everyone else that has posted in these forums along the same lines with the KT880 Delta everything is fine with 3D.  For some reason it is only with 3D.
    So far I have done the following:
    Moved my Soundblaster Live Card to the 5th PCI Slot to avoid any conflict.
    Installed, Uninstalled and reinstalled both sound and nVidia drivers
    Disabled VLink 8x in the bios
    Set AGP to 4x in the bios (I only have a 4x AGP card currently)
    Set the cache to 128mb
    First installed the correct 4-in-1 drivers, then superceded thoses with the Hyperion drivers instead.
    Despite all this I am still getting draw issues when minimising and maximizing windows, scrolling through web sites, and dragging open windows around the desktop.  However, I have tried 2d drawing tests on windows media player 10, as well as pitstop (that actually told me I had a good setup!!)
    So, not too sure what to do...any more help would be great.
    Specs are:
    MSI KT880 Board
    Sempron 2800+ 2.0ghz CPU
    1.5Ghz DDR333 memory
    Gainward MX440 128Mb 4x AGP card
    Creative Soundblaster Live! 1024 card
    350w PSU (Not sure what type it is!!!)
    I hope thats enough information

    This appears to be a recurring problem with the KT880 across several different graphic cards (mostly NVIDIA).  I've never seen so many complaints specific to 2D graphics collectively as have been reported here for just one particular mainboard.  There is talk of a BETA BIOS that solved at least one case, but not others:
    KT880 Slow 2D Performance with Leadtek 6600GT AGP
    KT880 Screen Draw problem
    KT880 DELTA mainboard and 2D speed decrease
    MSI kt880 Delta + Graphics card = problems
    KT880 Slow Screen Draw and other problems
    KT880 DELTA FSR Problem with graphics in Win XP
    The number of reported cases is more than the # of threads because some users entered into existing threads to report they had the same problem with KT880.  MSI should be investigating this issue.

    You can test the memory by downloading this program,
    http://www.memtest.org/download/1.40/memtest86+-1.40.floppy.zip
    Creates a bootdisk which you must boot from. (Disk cannot be read in windows)
    If the PSU cannot provide enough power then running the memory at a lower frequency can help, as 333Mhz uses less power than 400Mhz.
    Test the memory at 333Mhz and see if you get any errors, maybe ask a friend to run the memory at 400Mhz with memtest.
    If it does run at 400Mhz (200Mhz) without any errors then it is not faulty.
    From this point forward you will always test any memory modules that you buy with memtest.
    It is a very useful program.

  • OK What About The PCI Buss Lock at 33?

    I read over at Anantech in the review of the k7n2-L that the PCI bus is not locked.
    From Anandtech:
    We still haven't been able to get confirmation from MSI as to whether the K7N2-L locks the PCI bus at 33MHz. There is an AGP lock at 66MHz for this board (as with all nForce2 boards). We'll immediately update you with more information as we receive it from MSI. 12/04/02 UPDATE: MSI sends word that the K7N2-L indeed does not have a PCI bus lock at 33MHz, meaning you will overclock your PCI bus to a certain level at a certain overclocked FSB speed.
    Now I have read here in a couple of threads that the PCI buss is lock at 33.
     So who is right???

    its locked guy at amd forums the wise one measured his on a pc gieger 33.4 regardless of fsb

  • AGP locks at 67? you sure it doesnt at 66 as well?

    I can overclock fine using AGP lock of 66, when I set it to 67, no difference. People say it isn't locked when set to 66 but i used clockgen to check it out and it still says 66 despite running the fsb at 240 1:1
    So, I dont understand, maybe there isnt a problem with the locks at all?

    I dunno if it's because clockgen doesn't work properly on my board, but if I raise the CPU clock the PCI and AGP doesn't tag along according to clockgen. But they sure as hell are, no doubt about it and they should since my chipset doesn't have any lock.

  • KT880 Delta Issues

    Hi guys...first post here!!
    Just bought a new KT880 mobo to run a Sempron 2800+ 2.0Ghz chip.  My problems are these...
    1) When I switch on the machine, I am getting 2 quick beeps, with 4 rapid beeps after that.  With this is a message which states "Your CPU Fan had been disconnected or running at low RPM"  On researching google, I found that this was requiring an upgrade to Bios version 1.9, which I did successfully.  However the beeps and message remain!!
    2) Some of my hardware is not being detected by the Bios and, subseqeuntly, not showing in WindowsXP.  I have 2 HDDS set up as master and slave on IDE1.  The Master is being detected, the slave is not!  This is the same configuration I was using on my old setup, but on the KT880 is not?  I also have my DVDRom drive, and CD-Rom set up on IDE2 as master and slave.  Here, the slave is being detected, but the master is not?
    All very strange!!!
    My setup (I am at work, so cannot tell you that much), is as follows:
    KT880 Delta Mobo
    AMD Sempron 2800+ 2.0ghz
    1.5Ghz DDR333 (Bios has been setup to reflect this, so memory is detected as it should be!!)
    80Gb Seagate Barracuda ATA133 HDD
    20Gb Maxtor HDD (old, cant remember complete specs)
    Samsung DVD-Rom/CD_Writer
    Sony CD-Rom
    Gainward GeForce MX440 128Mb 4x AGP Video
    Soundblaster LivePLayer! 1024 soundcard
    I hope this helps....really could do with some hints or solutions
    Cheers

    Hello!
    Good list of specs, but we should also learn what PSU you got, and the max amperes(A) it can provide. This board is the "heaviest" VIA, so you need 18A on the 12V line.
    After installation of a new mobo, at least a Repair Installation of Windows is required. When you do this, have as little as possible in. For example disconnect the Slave hard disk, take out the sound card, only one stick of memory, only one CD device.

  • KT880 Delta LSR doesn't support second sound card?

    Hello,
    I've just bought my new KT880 Delta board because of burning my old KT4V.
    In my last configuration Ii had sound on bord (5.1) and one sound card added for microphone and headphones.
    Now i can't force my KT880 Delta LSR to support two sound card on the same time. When I don't plug PCI card system support card-on-board.
    But when I add this PCI card system dosen't see onboard card. In BIOS onbord card is turned on.
    What should I do to solve my problem?
    BRGDS
    Max.

    Quote from: Doctor Stu on 24-May-05, 04:34:01
    maxisus, maybe the PCI card is conflicting with onboard?
    have you tried the PCI sound card in another slot?
    No, i didn't try. I thought that is no different witch pci slot you use.
    Quote from: Doctor Stu on 24-May-05, 04:34:01
    did you do a fresh install of windows when you replaced the mobo?
    yes, i've formated hdd and installed all once again
    Quote from: Doctor Stu on 24-May-05, 04:34:01
    also KT880 probably needs more power than KT4V - if your PSU is now not powerful enough, some devices cannot start up correctly.
    I have got 350 Watt - i bought new because of special 4-pin plug for CPU. In the shop gays sad PSU should be enought for my configuraction of pc.

  • KT880 Delta MB prolems

    Ok i just got me a new board the Kt880 delta.
    Kt880 delta
    kingston 400mhz 512 sticks in slots 1 and 3 like the books says
    xp 3000 + barton 400mhz
    power supply 350 w
    asylum 256 mb fx5600 8x agp
    everything but the baord i have used on my old MB
    to get the board to run i have to run the memory at 266 and the MB at 100fsb setting.
    i tested the memory everything fine.
    BUt if i set the Processor and/ or memory to 400mhz the system will get past posting.
    but durning post i get 3 beeps
    and the system will boot for a sec and than shuts down and when it shuts down the only thing left active is the ethernet lights on the mother board. I cant hit the power button to turn it back on. I have to shut the power supply off and let it set for a min. than i can turn it back on if i change it all back to 266 for memory and 100 fsb. So than i try inching the settings up for both memory or CPU. and it does the same thing as if i had gone straight to the 400 mhz for processor or memory.
    Any suggestions would be great. I have made sure the cpu heatsink is on currectly always use fresh thermal paste the white stuff. THanks for you time guys need any more info just ask i will post as soon as i see you ask

    I thought so, only wanted to make sure.
    It is getting terribly late here, but there are three main alternatives, of which the first two implies a reseating of the processor:
    - What you thought was a processor running at 400 is not that, but a 333:
    There is a stamp on the processor with the model number which you compare with what you want, or with info. you find on the Internet.
    - The seating is not optimal - too much grease, 180 degrees wrong, or something - which makes the processor overheat or impossible to recognize:
    Reseat, by powering off, pulling power cable, take of the heat sink and fan and processor, clean both with strong alcohol and/or oil free nail polish remover, reapply thermal grease with a small drop on the very die (small rectangular) of the processor, put it and HSF back with caution of the socket 'heal', etc.
    - Your PSU isn't capable of powering the processor:
    I doubt that is it, but please supply a list of max amperes for the 3,3 volt, 5 volt, and 12 volt lines.
    Good luck, and a good night's sleep!
