MSI KT3 Ultra2 uses VT8235 with KT333

MSI KT3 Ultra2 uses VT8235 with KT333.  Can this be possible and what North/South Bridge Link is used?  
VIA site illustrated VT8233(A) with KT333 and VT8235 with olny P4X400.  ?(

The standard KT333 southbridge on MSI's KT333 boards is a VT8233A, which already supports ATA-133.  USB 2.0 in the southbridge is the real difference.  Hope it works as well as the NEC chip, which is rock solid with my USB stuff.  Love it.
Regards.....

  • MSI KT3 ULTRA2-R NO WORK WITH XP 22OO

    I have the MSI  KT3 ULTRA2-R with the latest bios. MSI states clearly on ther web site that this board will work up to a xp2800. Can anyone tell me why this board will not boot up with anything above an XP2000.
    The only thing I can think of is the core volt. this chip needs 1.65 but in the bios it only goes as low as 1.725.  
    I dont know how MSI can say up to XP2800 ?
    Thanks for any info that might help me from jumping of the nearest bridge.

    my only thought if it boots a 1700 or the like is lack of power,the vcore is dependant on the cpu installed
    or the coolers not up to it

  • My MSI KT3-ULTRA2 doesn't work with my CPU cooler!!

    My MSI KT3-ULTRA2 doesn't work with my CPU cooler!!              
    I've got an MSI KT3-ULTRA2 mainbord, and I have a NEOLEC VENEZIA TB Cooler. But when I attach my NEOLEC cooler and I start the machine, the machine shuts down within a couple of seconds, and I get nothing to see on my screen. The weird thing is when I turn the PC on, the cooler starts rotating so it can't be broke, but then the pc shuts down i a couple of secs. So pleezze anybody help me!!
    The weird thing is that I also have a coolermaster cooler, and that one works fine. But the problem is that this coolermaster is designed for AMD XP 1900+, and I ahve an AMD XP 2200+ that's why I bought the Neolec Venezia TB cooler.

    one easy thing to watch for... see if the heatsink or fan is in contact with any part of the motherboard, like... if it is too big and touches something that normally wouldn't be in contact with a fan or heatsink.  If so, it could be shorting it.

  • BIOS Settings Problem on KT3 Ultra2 MS-6380E with Barton 3000+(FSB333)

    Well, I finally got my Barton 3000+ with 333 MHz FSB and installed it yesterday in my MSI KT3 Ultra2 Mainboard....
    System Before changing anything:
    PSU: DTK  400 W
    +3.3 V / 22 A
    +5 V / 35 A
    +12 V / 15 A
    -5 V / 0.5 A
    -12 V / 0.8 A
    +5 V VSB / 3 A
    So that should make up 400 W as far as I know, my total System drain should be around 300-350 W so even if it would not suffice 400 W it should run the system ?
    Mainboard: KT3 Ultra 2 (BIOS v5.7)
    CPU: AMD XP 2100 FSB 133 MHz
    RAM: 1.536 MB, 3x512 MB Infineon PC3200 (400MHz) CL 3-3-3-8 @400MHz, Cl2.5-3-3-7@333Mhz, 2-2-2-6@266MHz

    Printer: HP Deskjet 970Cxi with Original HP Driver Version 4.3
    OS: Windows 2000 Professional with Service Pack 4
    BIOS Settings: SDRAM 1T Command: "Disabled" It won't work stable with 3 RAM's in it with that setting, but that I did know before.
    CPU Fast Command: "Ultra"
    System was running stable for nearly 2 years with this Configuration:
    So now it goes:
    First I changed the CPU form my old AMD XP 2100+ to the new Barton 3000 + with its new Arctic Cool Copper Silent 2TC.
    Then I went into BIOS and raised the FSB to 166 MHz, which should be the correct one, or do I have to put 167 MHz in there (since 166.666666 MHz is rounded to 167)?
    Then I exited and watched the restart...but it didn't start-up it only got me 3 long beeps at the HOST.
    After some whining and beating I plugged out anything and cleared CMOS and started the whole thing again:
    System after Clearing CMOS:
    Mainboard: KT3 Ultra 2 (BIOS v5.7)
    CPU: AMD XP 3000+  FSB 100 MHz
    RAM: 1x512 MB Infineon PC3200 CL 2-3-3-7 (BIOS setting CAS Latency by "SPD")

    Monitor: Samsung Syncmaster 172T with Driver Version 1.0
    OS: Windows 2000 Professional with Service Pack 4
    With all Default settings, the Computer boots up, and is correctly Recognized as a Barton 1300 MHz.
    When increasing FSB to 133 MHz it is correctly displayed as a Barton 2200+
    NOW...
    ...after adding one BIOS setting after another I narrowed the problem down to the "CPU Fast Command (decode)" Function...if set to Ultra it does not boot-up when running 166 MHz FSB, it does not even let me into BIOS. I have to clear CMOS and restart from scratch again...
    Is this normal and expectable with a Barton 3000+ running at the native 166 MHz FSB or not ?
    Since my system before was running on "Ultra" with my old AMD XP 2100+.
    There is only one more thing I noticed, the CPU V-Core is shown to be only 1.616 V (setting on "Auto" but it should be 1.65 V ? Should I increase the V-Core to 1.675 V in order to get closer to 1.65 V or shouldn't I worry about ?
    Thanks for any Input you can give me on the problem.

    Iscaran, you are indeed correct in the statement which you made

    This setting can be set to fast/ultra on the KT3 Ultra2 when using PC2100 ram running at 266. However, when using PC2700 ram running at 333, this setting MUST be set to normal for the satisfactory operation of the board. I know that you have PC3200 ram actually installed but it is only running at 333.

    How are you measuring this ie Bios or o/s utility? Not unknown that these are incorrect. However, if you feel unhappy about this, try setting the V-core manually to 1.65v and check what this gives.
    Quote
    So 3.3 V x 22 A gives 72.6 W, that could be really a little cutting the edge. Could that cause the board to not respond when setting the "CPU Fast Command" to "Ultra" ?
    Getting a more powerful psu will not likely cure this well documented problem.
    However, this board mostly draws power from the 3.3 & 5v rails. The 12v is mostly used to power HDD, optical and fans. When you consider that 128Mb of ram draws about 8-10w from the 5v rail and you have a total of 1.5Gb that adds up to 96-120W of juice just for the memory alone. This board will beep at you at o/s level when it's running underpowered but my opinion is the same as osnavi's your 3.3v & 5v rails are too low. Also what is combined 3.3v & 5v wattage. What kind of reading do you get on monitoring utilities.
    By the way I have as you can see from my dets below the same board and cpu as you and when I changed from a XP2000 Palomino with PC2100 ram to XP3000 Barton and PC3200, I changed the 'Fast Command' setting from 'Fast' to 'Normal'
    Hope this helps, enjoy the board

  • !! Help !! MSI KT3 Ultra2 (MS-6380E) No BIOS Prompt!!

    Hi Guys, this may be really elementary to you folks, but I want to change the boot order in bios, so that my Acronis True Image boot disc will be recognized, but when I start my machine, there is NO message about pressing ANYTHING to enter into bios.  I've tried delete and esc anyway, to no avail, and I'm about to restart and try F2, but the screens flash past pretty quick, but not too quickly to see that there is NO prompt to enter BIOS at all..... is that expected, problematic??
    Can I download a driver or something that will make the "press [ ] to enter setup" or "press [ ] to enter BIOS" prompt appear? 
    Failing that, is there anyway to force the system into BIOS without a prompt??

    Are you using a PS/2 or USB keyboard? If USB try a PS/2 KB. Have you tried rapidly pressing 'Delete' right after power on? By that I mean don't immediately hold it down but press & release multiple times.
    Good tip about the ps/2 keyboard, not that I've tried it yet, but I will tomorrow after I get my hands on one, and I'll let you know.  Thanks for the tip..... but I wonder, shouldn't it at least TELL me that there exists an option to go into BIOS?  Even if it doesn't there must be some way in I guess, so I'll try this tomorrow.  Thanks again.....

  • How can I flash the bios of a MSI kt3 ultra2 without a floppy drive?

    How can I flash the bios of a MSI kt3 ultra2 without a floppy drive?
    I used the msi live update software to download the bios update programe...when I run it gives 2 options dos and windows
    but the windows option is greyed out and the dos option requires a floppy drive (mine does not work)..what can I do?

    I can tell you what you need to do but unfortunately - not how to do all of it.
    You will need to make a bootable CD with the neccessary files on it .- Somewhere on the www you should be able to find the instructions. I have flashed from a CD   with no problems on a K7S5A board . The CD image was available as a complete download and just needed burning to the CD  so - apart from the obvious ( BIOS file , BIOS installer ,command.com,msdos .sys, io.sys)I don't know what else might  be needed on the CD- unfortunately the disk I made is long gone.
    I'm sure a search will find what you need to know.
    Once you have the disk -just insert in CD Drive - restart and follow the instructions.

  • MSI KT3 ULTRA2-C and AGP compatibility

    Hi, I'm just about to buy a new motherboard these days, MSI KT3 ULTRA2-C, with an XP 2000/2000+ and memory, but not a new video card, since i can't afford it right now. I only have an AGP Creative 3D Blaster Banshee 16 MB, but it is a 3.3v agp card (AGP 1.0). I was wondering if this motherboard can support it, i checked in a lot of places, including the manual and it doesn't say anything about the voltage it can take, neither if the AGP slot is universal or not (i.e. if it can support both 1.5/3.3v or only 1.5v). The manual for the KT3V specifically says '4x 1.5v only', but this one just says 'AGP 2.0 1x/2x/4x'. I really need to know this since otherwise i'd have to wait two months to afford another video card. I also checked another post here with an answer to a page with AGP explanation, but it didn't help. Thanks you very much, really  

     One AGP slot
     - AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) specification compliant
     - Supports AGP 2.0 1x/2x/4x
    so whats the problem,your fine there

  • MSI KT3 Ultra2-BR

    Geachte heer, mevrouw,
    Jullie hebben in de beginpagina staan dat er een new release is (in juli) van de MSI KT3 Ultra2.
    Deze is echter in drie versies verkrijgbaar.
    De versies Ultra2 en Ultra2-R zijn al te koop.
    Wanneer komt de Ultra2-BR te koop te staan en waar kan ik hem als eerste bestellen. Ik zit er al een paar weken op te wachten.
    Ik hoop dat jullie me spoedig mogelijk antwoord kunnen geven.
    Met vriendelijke groet,

    Hi,
    Sorry I don't understand....  :( What language is that?
    Let me guess, are you asking for different versions of motherboard model for KT3 Ultra 2 ? Ultra2-BR comes with Bluetooth transceiver and key, while Ultra2-R doesn't have Bluetooth bundled and Ultra2 doesn't have RAID either....
