MSI KT4 ULTRA + 1.40 BIOS & Overclocking

I am wondering what kind of Overclocks are people getting with the new 1.40 BIOS? I haven't broken mine in yet so I'm wondering what to expect.

I'm not a heavy overclocker, but it worked just fine for me :D

  • Excuse me , info about KT4 Ultra temp issue BIOS 1.4

    Hi, all, excuse me if I disturb u, but I've not understood compleltely if the low temps recorded by MSI KT4 ULtra sensors with BIOS 1.4 is a problem or is a real reduction of the temperatures offered by the new BIOS.
    Thank you very much for your time
    Bye
    Marcello

    No, its not enabled by default - and the temp issue is for real - not only reporting with less than 5-8*C, but also reversing the winbond sensors(CPU-SYS). I must tell you that the Cooler XP utility still works no mather if CPU HALT is enabled or not, taking another 5-8*C from your temperatures. Running an AMD Athlon XP Palomino 2100+  almost at 20*C with regular air cooling seems damn' science-fiction and the system with 5 degrees or more than the CPU.
        So stick with what u've got, if it's ok and stable. And trust us, we've checked the BIOS, we've checked the temperatures with alternative measurments. We are not that ******

  • MSI KT4 ULTRA MAX VCORE

    Is it possible for MSI to add higher Vcore settings with a BIOS update? The MSI KT4 ULTRA has a max Vcore of 1.85 which doesn't really help the overclockers much. If they could get the max Vcore to 2.00 that would be great for XP overclockers.  )

    I'm not complaining about my KT4 ULTRA. I think its a good board for people who aren't really into overclocking and performance tweaks, but I love to tweak the performance of my rig. I hate to say that other motherboard companies seem to get the picture, that they should make their boards as overclocking friendly as possible. ASUS, Abit, Epox etc. are considered the best because they have conquered into the overclocking market. I wish MSI would throw their hat in the same market because I personally feel they can.

  • MSI KT4 Ultra and AMD XP3200+

    Hi,
    Is it possible to run an AMD Athlon XP 3200+ on the MSI KT4 Ultra Motherboard?
    I know the motherboard supports FSB200/266/333, but will the cpu work if I manually set it to FSB400 in the bios?
    Thanks for you help.

    I don't think the cpu is unlocked, it is an original 3200+.
    I thought you need an unlocked cpu if you want to overclock the cpu.
    I just want to leave the multiplier on auto and set the frequency to 200MHz (its original setting).
    The reason I need to know is that I stupidly bought the cpu without checking my motherboard FSB support and I cant return the cpu.
    I have not received it yet and wanted to know if it was possible to get my computer up and running even if the KT4 Ultra does not officially support FSB400.
    Would there be any harm in trying the cpu in my motherboard.
    If anyone has managed to run an AMD XP3200+ cpu on a MSI KT4 Ultra, please let me know.
    Thank You.

  • Problem with my MSI KT4 Ultra

    Hi all!
    I have a BIG problem, I have tried to look at this board, but there is many different answers out there  ;(
    I have KT4 Ultra with Athlon XP 2600+
    I have set FSB to 166, and when I startup BIOS says Athlon XP 2600+.
    But in windows system, it only says:
    AMD Athlon XP2600+
    2.09Ghz !!!!
    768Mb RAM
    Why is windows only says 2.09Ghz??
    AND, I think my system is very slow. I used to have AMD 1200Mhz. And this sytem is almost like my last computer.

  • MSI KT4 ULTRA-BFISR + Ati Radeon 9700 pro = not good??

    Hello everybody!
    First of all, i youst have to say that i think MSI have the best motherboards....
    Here's the problem (i haven't buyed anything yet!):
    I am going to buy MSI KT4 ULTRA-BFISR and ATI Radeon 9700 Pro, but i have read many places that Radeon aint working with MSI KT4-based cards! Im am going to buy an 520W Power (i aint so good in english so i hope you now what i write  :D )
    I am also going to buy 2 x Cosair pc3500 xms ram... Is this one working with the motherboard by the way?
    But my question is: Will the Ati Radeon 9700 pro work with this card? (i must remember to buy the 1.3 version!) I am gonna get my Radeon 9700 pro from USA, how can i now when i order that is an 1.3 card?
    Thank you for answering!  :]

    I think also that even there is two drivers, that is not a reaseon why it isn't work. One time I install only standard VGA drivers, but result was that I got two standard VGA driver.  8o
    First time I try without VIA drivers, then with 4.42 and 4.43 VIA drivers. Result was almost same all the time, it always crash when Nature test start, but this exist also to older mobo (Abit KT7A-RAID). Problem exits few games they lock up or stuttering. Ati demos works fine, but one time that car demo stuttering a lot, but I transfer data at same, so I'm not sure what was reason.
    This moment I don't have possibilities to try Hyperion 4.45 drivers or something else, because it's my friend computer.

  • MSI KT4 Ultra! A little question.

    Hello. )
    I'm very interested, in the new MSI KT4 Ultra, but i've a doubt:
    The pure version of the KT4 Ultra, has a fan on the chipset?
    How many IDE channels come with this pure version?
    Thank you, and sorry about my poor english.  :D

    You can modify de FSB in the bios, but there is a jumper that provides these 3 options, 100mhz, 133mhz and 166mhz. 100mhz for the duron cpu's, 133mhz for the Athlon xp  Palomino and Tbred, and 166mhz for the athlon xp Barton ( not 100% confirmed).

    Thanks in advance.   -RjA

    I can help a little  1000MHZ AMD chip=200FSB XP CPUs=266FSB this is CPU speed . AMD 1000MHZ CPU needs to run @100FSB where a XP CPU can run @133FSB This is MEMORY speed . Trying to crank that poor old chip up to anything other than 100 will do you NO good. You need to buy a bigger cpu of the XP kind. A lot of the older XPs can be had for a low price. 50c isn't not super hot. My KT4 runs in the 40s. You might want to think about a bigger cpu cooler to bring the temps down a bit. Most of your settings should be left at system default, since you only have a 1000MHZ CPU. When you go up to an XP then you can make a few changes. Regards BIGDADDY51 :D  :D

  • Upgrading to a MSI kt4-ultra FISR board.....

    Currently I've got a gigabyte motherboard and I want to upgrade to an: MSI kt4-ultra FISR board. Can I just pull my old board out and install the MSI board with all my old hardware, O/S already on harddrive -  and do a start up, or will I run into errors and problems when I try this?

    A clean install will give you 30 days to reactivate and it only takes a 5 minute call to get the new #s. Pretty simple and much easier than trying to straighten out all the error codes from old O S. I did however move an XP harddrive from a Turbo2 to a KT4 without a new install but they were both MSI boards. A clean install also gets rid of all the junk that accumulates. Just enter bios and make the CD rom 1 st boot . BIGDADDY51 CT. USA  :D  8)  :D

    Athlon XP 2600+
    Maxtor DiamondMax9 40gb HDD...
    i thought i had it all setup right with the HDD in IDE1, DVD and CD-RW in IDE2 and floppy in the floppy bit...
    at 1st the CPU cwas only clocking at 1250mhz, but then came here and sorted that prob..... (Sperad spectrum then adjusted the FSB to 166mhz ) then after that, when i go to boot up i got.... "no device connected to the Fasttrack controller...bios not installed" then browing through the forum i found how to "solve" that problem... ( disabled the Serial ATA thing, dont know if thats right .... ) but now i dont get that "bios not installed" line any more.... all i get is a flashing line in the top left of my screen....
    so to sum up....all i get now is.... that flashing line......what could be goin wrong?
    Thanks in advance.....a very distressed...

    Hi,
    I have the same issues with my KT4 Ultra (pure version).
    Running GF4 Ti4400, Athlon XP2400+ etc, 450W power etc. There are quite many posts of similar issues all over the Via Arena forums and some here as well. KT4 Ultra's and KT4V's seem to be the boards affected.
    Installing the Via USB Filter Patch helped with narrowing down the number of crashes and some of the errors.
    (note: disable automatic restart from 'Startup and Recovery settings' to see the driver that crashes)
    Link to Via Arena FTP site
    I had a K7T266pro2-RU board before this which worked 100% stable. I've tested all my components which are fine. Tested different power supplies, memory. Still, continuous random errors after many times of reinstalling Win2K by the book and with default bios settings.
    Sometimes the setup works fine for a week and then starts to mess around again.
    Looks like setting the cpu fsb down to 128 MHz from 133 MHz solves the issues, so try that and report back.
    Also check the filter patch.
    I'm personally waiting for the next bios release to fix these issues - if not, I'm showing this board RMA and go to nForce2 chipset.
    I also tested the 1.25 beta bios, which gave me lots of crashes during Win2K boot -> flashed back to v1.10 and booting works again.

  • MSI KT4 ultra and AMD ATHLON 2600+ and Corsair 512Mb 3200

    Hello,
    i've bought a: MSI KT4 ULTRA and a AMD ATHLON 2600+
    Today, i've updated the bios to the version 1.3! So: no problem to reboot after the process complete.
    BUT, now i can't set the CPU at 2.16Ghz (280Mhz clock) because if i set the clock up to 100Mhz it doesn't reboot anymore! the motherboard detect the frequency @ 1250 Mhz :(((
    Please: HELP ME
    (sorry for the grammar and / the english) but i'm a french guy.

    Hi,
    I had the same issues, see the thread:
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/e_service/forum/viewindex.php?threadid=11717&boardid=13&styleid=1
    Essentially I had to set (in the BIOS) the FSB to 166 and left the Multiplier on auto.  This ment the processor was reported properly as 2600+, but the memory will only run at 333 MHz...  Yeah I think I wasted the money on getting the latest and greatest memory too....
    Had me worried for a while, I though my supplier had palmed a bad chip off on me....  It just that the board can't do the highest speed chips and the highest speed memory at the same time (it states that that is unsupported in the manual...)
    hope the helps...

  • Msi kt4 ultra bsr

    hi,
    i'm new at this forum.
    i have buy a msi kt4 ultra bsr board whit amd xp 2200 cpu.
    twinmoss pc 3200 memory @ 256mb.
    after install the hardware it seems to run only at xp 1500 in the bios.(amibios).
    normaly you can set the range on 100mhz or 133mhz.
    by this board we can set it only @100mhz and not at 133mhz.
    have olso tryed whit pc 2100 / pc 2700 @133mhz.
    still the same probleem,no 133mhz possible.
    when i put the memory in my msi kt7pro2-ru board it runs at 133mhz only the pc3200 can run on that board.
    is it possible that a little bug in the ami bios the problem is?
    have look at the msi website for a patch but nothing.
    have someone had the same problem.
    regards jupliner / belgyium

    hi,
    still the same problem
    today i have olso buyed the xp 2000+ cpu.
    put it in the bord and haved here olso the same problem.
    in the bios hey run at xp 1250 mhz and not xp2000.
    have buy olso a new psu it's now 450w.
    olso buyed new ram from apacer pc 2700.
    we have tryed everthing in the bios to put it on 133mhz.
    in the bios isn't not possible to set 100mhz to 133mhz.
    when we change the fsb clock higher than we need to reset the bios.
    in the dram timing control we can not set the 100mhz to 133mhz.
    the current host clock is 100mhz and not changeble.
