MSI Fast - Turbo - Ultra RAM settings on KT6V

hi, I have a KT6V mobo with 1 bank Twinmos 512MB ram.
I am trying to have the best RAM performance changing bios setting.
I have a strange result:
Ultra mode + cas 2,5 give me best results than Turbo mode + cas 2. ( Ultra mode + cas 2 crash )
What MSI Ultra mode does to give bigger results of cas 2 ? Does it increment the RAM BUS ?
What are the best suggestions ?
Thanks

  Update Description Removed the "MEMORY TIMING" setting from the BIOS. System will have no display when user change the "MEMORY TIMING" option in the BIOS, from NORMAL to FAST or ULTRA. The selection in the BIOS is for over-clocking only. But some memories can't be over-clocked and caused the compatibility issue.
** We strongly recommend all end users to update the BIOS to the version 1.3. **
That was taken from the BIOS page for the KT6V, so apparently those settings were causing problems for many users.

  • Mega Pc 651, Normal,fast,turbo,ultra Bios Settings?

    HI Guys, i have a megapc 651 cele 2.6 512 ram and 80gig HD... i was playing around with the bios yesterday and decided to check out the faster speed settings in teh bios.. i tried fast and in froze in windows xp, i tried ultra and turbo and it wouldn't even start up windows..it would try and the reboot again.
    What are these settings for? will i ever be able to use them with my set up?

    These settings set the memory timings progressively tighter for higher performance. Not all memory can run with tighter settings. I don't think you will see the performance improvements so be happy with Normal.

  • SLOW, FAST, TURBO, ULTRA TURBO

    Hey Guys
    Nice forum....Just have to get used to it. I find the searching isnt as good as the lats one but look gr8.  
    Anyways I have just got 1024MB Corsair PC3200 2-2-2-5 RAM. Its amazing made my PC so much faster and timings have made it so responsive.  
    Anyways I have a 875P motherboard like you can see below but in the BIOS I can select different options (Performance Options)
    SLOW -> FAST -> TURBO -> ULTRA TURBO.
    What exactly do these do? On my last generic RAM I had it on FAST and not have it on TURBO. Is it worth goin onto ULTRA TURBO? Also how kinda effect with these setting have on the life of the PC.
    Cheers guys

    Here is a review, there is also a lot there to take in but,
    http://www.gruntville.com/reviews/memory/corsair_twinx3200xl/page3.php
    The settings you are referring to are associated with PAT.  
    There are different levels of PAT, if you choose slow, is it off in CPUZ?
    FAST
    TURBO
    ULTRA TURBO
    CPUZ will report PAT to be enabled on all of these settings but it may not be fully enabled.
    ULTRA TURBO = FULLY enabled PAT mode.
    Run this program to tell you the level of PAT
    ftp://ftp.heise.de/pub/ct/ctsi/ctiaw.zip
    Extract it to a folder, run the lowercase version.
    See what PAT level it is running at.
    Then change modes and run the program again.
    What it does, going back to the INTEL link,
    The setting adjust the memory/chipset timings to achieve higher system performance.
    It should not be a problem if you have good memory.
    Now is this starting to make sense

  • Question about "slow" "fast" "turbo" "ultra turbo"

    Ok, on the 875P Neo board, what does "slow" "fast" "turbo" "ultra turbo" do to the settings in the bios? Ok "slow" is probably default (shouldnt they just call it "default"?)... but what will the rest SPECIFICALLY do to my system?

    No one knows for sure, MAT is enabled in 1.6 on turbo and ultra turbo, it also seems to use more agressive memory timings - the sisoft sandra scores at turbo and ultra turbo are excellent.

  • Neo Bios 1.6 and Slow/Fast/Turbo/Ultra Modes

    Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the Slow/Fast/Turbo/Ultra modes in Bios 1.6 on the Neo boards?
    The only mode I can get to work is the Slow mode.  On all the rest, Win XP boots OK, but when I would run programs, the screen would lock for a few seconds, then come back in low resolution stating I had an unspecified "device failure", and I had to restart my computer for it to work properly.
    In any case, I have no clue what the difference is between modes.  I was able to complete a 3dMark test while in Turbo mode, and compared it with one run in Slow mode, and the differences were minimal.
    Can anyone enlighten me?

    No OC, Timings = by SPD, DRAM Frequency = Auto (200/400)

    "Slow" disables PAT/MAT and reduces the chipset bus frequency to 66Mhz (quad pumped)
    "Fast/Turbo/Ultra-Turbo" Overclock your video card!!!
    If you set your memory timings manualy or use a ratio other than 1:1 there will be no difference between Fast/Turbo/Ultra-turbo (only difference being "by SPD" memory timings) -as far as i can tell
    There maybe other differences but not found them ....yet

  • Problem on fast, Turbo, Ultra Turbo. bios 1.5 still buggy.

    Ok, I'm using my 875P neo(1.5 bios)  as a realtime video editing system,  I have realtime Video out both on  Analog and DV (Firewire)  with a Canopus card DV Storm 2.
    First i thought my canopus card  is broken because I have Flickering and nothing than digital blocks out of the  DV Output which is really strange but more important i cannot use this. :(
    I gladly found out that's not my Storm card but the Ultra turbo setting , i changed to fast, turbo, No Luck and a bit of system instability.  
    Everything will Only function properly when set  to Slow mode X(  voilá problem Ficksed! :]  but that's a ridiculous performance in slow mode compared to ultra turbo! (benchmark shows write performance less than a 2.4Cghz processor an another brand mobo)(I'm using 3.0Cghz) 8o
    I think i'm not the only one with strange problems like this, damn  MSI you got some work here.
    I hope MSI will Improve a lot with a new bios update if not i will choose an other brand mobo.  

    Dragak,
    There is no guarantee that Ultra-Turbo setting will run 100% stably on ALL SYSTEMs where as each system consists of different sets of hardware. But there are some cases and their system specs are superbly well to support Ultra-Turbo setting. If all system can run at Ultra-Turbo, then there will be no Slow,Fast and Turbo mode anymore!
    Based on what factors make you think that your Canopus card can support those faster settings?? Why don't you try to take the card off your system and go with the Ultra-Turbo or Turbo mode.

  • KT4 Ultra RAm settings?

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded my system to a KT4 ultra, athlon 2200+XP, 512MB Crucial 2100 DDRAM and an MSI GF4 Ti4600.
    Now its running ok, but I think its running a tad under par. Its benching about 10900 on 3DMark 2001. Which aint the best.
    I was wondering about changing the RAM settings in BIOS. Would they have much of effect?
    Also what about flashing the BIOS, with version 1.1? I'm very wary about doing that because the last couple of times I flashed a bios it screwed the motherboard up royally. Is it worth the risk?
    Ta

    Hi,
    You may try "Load High Performance Default" in the BIOS. If it works, good, you should get few extra marks by some margin. If it caused instability to the system, don't force it, revert to BIOS Setup Default.
    The effect of those RAM settings can only be seen by benchmarks. Normal usage, you can hardly feel any difference.
    For BIOS, "if it aint broke, don't fix it". Most BIOS updates do not meant to improve performance, but for bug fix and to support new hardware. Read the BIOS update info you'll know what has been fixed/updated.

  • 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.

  • Difference between fast,turbo and ultra on kt6?

    whats the actual difference in the bios  between fast,turbo and the ultra settings
    on the lsr kt600 motherboard?
    thx
    2hats

    It all depends on the Type of ram used and quality as well witch will allow you to run in Ultra mode, "FASTCOMMAND"-Ultra allows the processor to handle dats/instructions at the fastest speed. in simple terms, faster in games and other Applications.
    but need good ram to suport this feature or your windows will be very unstable
    and thats not good at all.

  • 645-Ultra Timing Settings (MS-6547)

    I just finished building my new PC. I've been exploring and found in the bios timing setting modes. My mode is currently set to normal. When trying to advance the settings to fast, turbo, or ultra the PC won't  boot or post until I clear CMOS.
    Any idea why the faster settings won't work?
    Also I have installed Fuzzy Logic 4. When trying to manipulate any of the overclock
    settings, the system locks and I can't reboot until I unplug the system. Any idea why Fuzzy Logic freezes the sysem?

    Problem - Some freaking FPS slowdown on any game with any video quality settings (battlefield, farcry, doom3, Wining Eleven 7, Need for Speed Underground, Unreal 2004, Jedi Academy and others).
    What I already have checked - I just got my new video card, msi geforcefx 5950 ultra, and i got some minor stability problems. First of all I would like to say that I'm no newbie and I already checked:
    1. I got all lastest bios and drivers: from my MOBO chipset (nforce2) and video card (from the MSI site, not from the nvidia site).
    2. I think it couldn't be any compability problems with my MOBO chipset (it is nvidia too) and video card.
    3. Any thermal problems (I'm very paranoic about that), got 3 fan\exaust on the pc case, and i only use thermaltake coolers/exaust.
    4. My ram memory clock it is set to 333mhz just like my fsb for more stability.
    5. The video card IRQ it is fine.
    6. Bios configuration. I've test my AGP settings with and without AGP Fastwrites and PCI enchant (other bios options u guys have told me to leave as default like agp voltage and clock settings).
    7. My PSU is 500w (422) and the I didn't connect anything on the power line that goes to the card.
    8. I used driver cleaner 3.2 to clean my last msi fx 5200 drivers.
    so here we go...  
    Question one - I've read all the posts just like mine, and seems that my problem it is with the PC PSU, but my PSU it is 500W, it was pretty cheap   but it is 500W and u guys and the video card manual have told me that the minimum required it is 350w, well the specs of the PSU it is +3.3v 28A, +5V 50A (230W), +12V 18A (216W). I saw in some post that my card would need a 24A on the 12V line, and a 32A would be the real deal for overclocking, is that true? Will I have to buy another one???  
    Question two - By the way I used to have a msi geforcefx 5200 tdr-128, and when I changed the Video cards I just unistaled the video card drivers, is it enought? Or there is some freaking windows registration of my 5200 driver corrupting my 5950 performance. Will I have to Format my PC???  
    Question tree - Why when I try to an output video resolution below 640x480 to ANY TV (already tested on 5 TV) with S-video or RCA cables, the video files (divx/xvid...) get all overlapped???  
    Question fuor - If I change my drivers from de MSI nVidia to the original nvidia, will I get more stability???  
    So can u guys help me... thanks  

    1.) You should be ok with 18 amps on the 12v rail, but that is bare minimum!
    If you have poor airflow in your case, the power supply's efficiency will drop considerably due to excess heat. The voltages/amps can drop below acceptable levels and cause instability.
    2.) It is possible that leftover registry entries and bad keys are crapping up your registry. If it's been a while since you've reformatted and you've installed/uninstalled lots of software since then, it might be something to consider.
    However, I reccomend that you dump MSI drivers for the time being, and try the latest Forceware, go here for the latest  nVidia Drivers you can also visit the archive if you'd like an earlier version here http://ftp://download1.nvidia.com/Windows/
    Consider this procedure and use at your own risk.
    Make sure to have the latest drivers downloaded.
    I.) Disable System Restore and then procede to Control Panel and remove the VGA drivers. DO NOT REBOOT
    II.)Run driver cleaner (I click the clean button at least twice) NOW REBOOT
    III.) Ignore the hardware wizard and go directly to where you have the latest drivers and run the setup.
    You may want to consider fresh chipset drivers.
    3.) Not a clue
    4.) Possible, but the overall condition of your OS, the process in wich you install drivers, and proper cooling, can have either an isolated or accumulative effect on overall stability of your system.
    And Just to let you know, MSI employees don't visit this sight, a simple bump would eventually get someones attention (that's willing and able to answer your questions)

  • Cannot record any sound with my M-Audio Fast Track Ultra audio interface

    Have been using Logic for about 3 months and was able (primarily via keyboards/midi recording) to create some decent recordings (via the 'hard' way, some books, video training and without bothering a lot of people with many of my questions). Time has come to start with analog audio recording and here my problem starts. Have recently purchased the Fast Track Ultra audio interface from M-Audio.
    Drivers are installed correctly. The device is saying that it functions properly. It gets recognized by my iMAC. It gets recognized in Logic and can enable the device in my audio preferences. I can clearly see in the control panel of my USB audio interface it is creating sound and meters are going up and down.
    I get sound in my head phones (which are connected to the audio interface) but within Logic no sound is coming in while with the build in microphone everything seems to work fine. Have played around all kind of settings in my audio/midi configuration utility but no result.
    Who can help me out ?
    Thanks in advance.
    Jozef.

    Have done a test within Garageband and it works correctly overthere

  • M-Audio Fast Track Ultra 8r HELP!!

    Hello
    I am in desperate need of assistance.... I have been using M-Audio Fast Track Ultra 8r for some months and it has worked perfectly... only today (just when I needed it most) it stopped working when I plugged it in as usual.
    It makes a popping sound and the green and red LEDs along the front panel flash respectively and it will not be found by Logic 9... or anything else for that matter.
    I am running MAC OSX 10.6.6 on a Macbook pro
    2.53 GHz Intel Core Duo
    4GB
    I remember this did actually happen once before but I simply put the original CD in and re loaded the driver from there and it seemed to work... only, that CD fell foul to a toddler and is basically knackered...
    The latest drivers don't seem to be working and I have done everything I can find on here to try and solve it including...
    - Downloading lastest drivers
    - Different leads and ports
    - Downloading latest update combos for snow leopard from apple site, and repairing disc permission in utilities
    - Rebooting holding cmd-alt-P-R which apparently has something to do with resetting RAM
    I am not much of a techie... I just like things to work!
    Any help gratefully received... I can't afford a new interface and I have lots of work to do
    Many thanks

    HI ! I JUST HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM ! I DONT KNOW IF M-AUDIO HAS TO CREATE THE NEW DRIVERS TO WORK WITH OSX 10.6.6 OR IS SOMETHING GOING ON IN OUR COMPUTERS.
    I HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP US AT THIS, I REALLY NEED TO GET IT WORK AGAIN ..... ILL APRECIATE ANY HELP ... THANX A LOT !!

  • Trouble hooking up krk rokit 5's with M-Audio Fast track Ultra

    Hey everybody,
    I just picked up a pair of krk rokit 5 monitors and for some reason i am having a really hard time getting sound. i connected the rca into output 1 and 2 on the fast track ultra. I set the FTU as the output and input for logic and in the mac settings. NO SOUND zip nada! I might be doing something wrong so if anyone has any advice or know what to do, lemme know! thanks! I would appreciate it!
    joel

    Hi,
    don't use the RCA. most probably you have mistakenly connected the S/PDIF outputs of the Fast Track to you Rokits. You'll need either a standard TRS 3,5'' connector cable - the plugs look like the standard stereo headphone plugs - not the little ones, but the bigger ones (if-ya-no-wod-i-mean).
    Or you could use a TRS-XLR cable. Either way, you'll need to use the correct outputs on the Fast track, since there are more than one. I'd suggest you use outputs 1 and 2 (for left and right channel).

  • Msi 6570 delta ilsr/msi 6590 kt4 ultra

    Hi could anyone here tell me if it is worth upgrading from a MSI 6590 KT4 ULTRA to a MSI 6570 Delta Ilsr Mainboard . Thanks in advance.

    the good thing with nforce is the locked agp and pci
    so as that cpu uses 13 as a multiplier you might be able to o/c it ok but not much more that the 180 or so you should get now on the old board
    the main benefit with the board is with pc 3200 and an xp 2500 now as new cpu are locked
    as most of them will get up around 200 fsb x11
    best of all you would get soundstorm
    but read as boards fussy on ram and you did not post details as asked
