MSI KT4V and Radeon X800 Pro...

Hi all!
I have a question regarding my MSI KT4V MoBo. Does anybody have any experience installing a Radeon X800 card in such a MoBo?
I have read earlier that there was a size problem with the 9800 pro series.
Apparently it is so big that it touches the ram slots!?
The X800 is smaller though so it may not be a problem.
Any help will be appreciated  
Best Regards
Basse

I don't see how it would touch the RAM slots, it might just be a problem when you need to remove RAM that you need to remove the card first so you can pull back the RAM clips.

  • MSI KT4V and radeon card compatibility.

    hi guys...first of all, sorry about bad english, i'm from germany.
    well, the point is, i actually have a MSI KT4V mother board installed in mi pc, and i planed to buy a Radeon 9800 pro graphic card, i have 2 options...buy the BBA (build by ati)..or the sapphire one, i want to know if i will have any trouble of compatibility with both of this cards. Just that, please i'm waiting for your's answers guys

    Codegen don't perform as well as you might think. The info I ask for should be on a sticker on the PSU, inside the case. But I'll help you, since I've been there before.
    As you see below, there is not much room for a Radeon9800:
    "Codegen 400W Pentium 4 ATX Switching Dual Fan Power Supply, Retail Package
    Output:400W
    +3.3V -> 14A Orange
    +5.0V -> 30A Red
    +12V -> 12A Yellow
    +5VSB -> 2A Purple
    -5V -> 0.5A White
    -12V -> 0.8A Blue "

  • K8n Neo Fsr And Radeon X800 Pro

    I'm considering upgrading from my 9800 pro video card to a new x800 pro.  But the placement of the northbridge chip on the FSR board is really tight even with the 9800.  I've got an MSI stock fan on my northbridge heatsink which increases the height by about 1/4 inch.  Does anyone have an x800 pro installed with their K8N motherboard AND a northbridge cooler?  Does it all fit without any special modifications?

    Stock North Bridge Fan but Bigger better heatsink for both CPU and Vid card here's a pic of how tight it is, Now if I can get all this in then you will have no problems with yours

  • MSI KT400 and RADEON 9700 PRO

    I'm having many problems with this combination: some games don't work.
    I've read there are problems with agp 8x, any advice?
    I can't play:

    thanx!

    Since the KT400 is a VIA Chipset based motherboard and this is an Nvidia/AMD/SiS SocketA forum I am moving it to the VIA based forum.
    Perhaps you can elaborate on exact problems and provide a complete hardware listing, including your power supply's combined wattage across the +5v and +3v rails.

  • Radeon X800 pro wont work with my Motherboard

    My 915g combo motherboard wont even start with radeon x800 pro, but it runs with an geforce fx5750. i have 350w powersuply and i have tried with an 400w. i know it is not the grafikcard that is wrong becuse i have tried with 2 difrent x800pro cards and non worked on the motherboard. i have even tried to update bios and it hade no effect.

    X600/X700/X800/X850 as well as NX6600/NX6800 are heavy +12v power consumers on the PSU, if you have less than 18A on your PSU's +12v, forget about running them smoothly...

  • Kt4V L and Radeon 9500 pro= no overclock

    Hi, just wondering if anyone has been able to overclock successfully with a KT4V L (VIA KT 400 chipset )and a Radeon 9500 pro. The system will overclock with my old Ge force 2 no problem. But moving the fsb even 1 or 2 Mhz over 166 with the Radeon installed and CRASH !! I've tried everything ,increased voltage on proc. vid card and ram, loosend ram timings , heat isn't an issue temps are ok. Pwr supply should be ok as I'm getting or slightly exceeding voltages across all rails.
    Have  tried with one stick of ram (pc 3200) and with both sticks in( one 3200 and one 2700) All my drivers are the newest including chipset and vidcard. The Radeon does have the modded bios installed to enable overclocking and it overclocks like a champ !  I know the ATI cards have issues with the VIA KT 400 chipset but the system runs rock solid at 166 fsb. Anyway if anyone has had any luck please let me know or if anyone has any ideas on overclocking this thing. Thanks !
    Specs: MSI KT4V L mobo, AMD Barton 2500 XP Superlocked processor (I tried unlocking ,no luck) one stick 512mb pc 3200 and one stick 512 mb 2700, Sapphire Radeon 9500 pro with unlocked bios, Enermax 350W psu, one WD 80gb 7200 hdd,one Maxtor 30gb 5400 hdd, cd burner,cd rom Antec Plusview 1000 AMG ,Thermaltake Volcano 9 heatsink and fan. AND 11,650 3dMark 2001se score.
    Wanna get it over 13000.

    The 9500pro is a great card. It does have the 9700pro bios in it. That was the first thing I did to it when I got it last year Got the core at 310Mhz but the memory maxes out around 281Mhz.
    The amperages across the rails are as follows 3.3V is 32A, 5V is 32A and the 12 V is 26A. The -5V and -12V are both 1A and the =5Vsb is 2.2A .
    I have already tried overclocking with one ram stick . Using both the 3200 and the 2700 seperately.
    I've also set the vid card to stock settings and still no OC.

  • MSI 648 Max and Radeon 7900 pro

    I have big troubles trying to setup my video card ATI Radeon 7900 pro. I try several drivers from ATI, I've tried Radeonator to downclock the video card, but the system is still very instable, hanging in every games (AoM, WC3) after few seconds, and even hanging while doing elementary stuff with the PC.
    Anyone know something about this pb ?
    Is it specific to the video card (i ca see a lot of pb with this card) ?
    Is there a compatibility issue between video card and this mother board ?
    Thanks in advance.

    You can try going back through the earlier posts. I know there were quite a few dealing with the Radeon9700 and the 648Max. I don't have the Radeon so I can't help much if the problem is really related to that card. One thing you might check right off are the voltage readings in the BIOS. I know you need a pretty good power supply with that combination of motherboard and graphics card. I also know that there were some other issues as well.

  • Problems with KT4V and AtiRadeon 9700 Pro...

    Hi all,
    I have lots of problems with my current configuration with games (lock ups) and even in normal use. Also I'm not able to run 3DMark through to see with kind of results would I get. Car chase (high) gets very low fps and the nature test doesn't even work. I have tried different 4in1 drivers and BIOS versions. With 1.6 BIOS version I had lots of CRC errors (should be corrected in BIOS ver. 1.7 but in expense of data rate?).  Does anyone have any suggestions so that I could for example go through the 3DMark even with the expense of performance?
    I had those game lock up problems also earlier with KT7A-100 RAID + AtiRadeon 64 (3DMark worked) so I bought new graphic card (didn't help) and after that I bought the new mobo. I know my config is not the best in the world, but I think it should be enough to give some happy moments in ever so demanding games... for a while...
    There is also one thing that is quite strange. In my display adapters there is two drivers for AtiRadeon (primary in AGP and secondary in PCI)? I'm not expert, but isn't that weird? I have tried installing different drivers again and again (also reinstalled OS) with no luck! Trying to delete the secondary one doesn't help...
    Help..........!

    the 9700 is the most powerfull vga to date and needs power evan more than a gf4 4600
    i would lbe looking at some think like an antec true powe 430 watt psu not a basic 300 watter
    with ati,s own cards you need revision 1.3 as well best i can recall,but yours is an oem so im not sure

  • K8N Neo Platinum and modded X800 Pro

    Hello everyone,
    I am running the Board for a while now and it was rockstable.
    System is:
    A643200+ C0 Zalman CNPS 7000 A-Cu
    MSI K8N NEO Platinum Bios 1.2
    2x512MB OCZ 3700 EB
    windows xp pro sp1
    old card: Ati 9800 XT
    new card: Saphire X800 Pro modded to XT.
    After installing the Card properly, i installed the catalyst 4.8 Drivers and direct9c
    After testing a little Bit benchmarking stresstesting, i rebootet and the system and it hangs at the windows xp bootscreen. i reloaded a restore point and tried to reinstall the drivers. no luck.
    then i reinstalled windows xp on moday with the same drivers and everything seemed to work fine. windows booted normally, the card worked fine.
    yesterday after work. same thing. lookup at the bootscreen of windows.
    i uninstalled the catalyst drivers in windows safe mode then rebooted.
    normally when i install the card it installs the x800pro and x800 secondary and then finds the rage theater chip and installs it too.
    after freezing and getting into windows i can install the card drivers, but the theater chip isnt recognized anymore.
    the card is working fine on 3d. i played yesteray for 4 hours at a time and no problems. but after rebooting i cant get into windows.
    so i contacted the seller of the card and he told me i am the thired customer who hast issues with the card on this board.
    same problem. random freezes on boot sequence, but others seem to have problems in 3d which i dont. i only cant boot.
    any suggestions?

    Load BIOS default to try again.
    Maybe you can update the BIOS to 1.42 to try again.

  • 875P INF Drivers and Radeon 9800 Pro All in Wonder

    Please help; I am at my absolute wits end.  I will try to be brief but I doubt that there is much chance that it will be.  Basically I have narrowed things down to this.  My video card is a Radeon 9800 Pro All in Wonder 128mb version.  My motherboard is a MSI 875p.  Lately I realized (long story not important) that I did not have the inf drivers from intel installed for my mobo.  This seemed to make sense as to why I was having display issues in games; IE Morrowind.  So I installed them, and when I rebooted I was pleasantly surprised to find that the monitor would simply turn off right before I could get to the login.  Now I have reinstalled windows several times and installed several different combinations of intel inf updates with different version of the Catalyst drivers.  Pretty much, if I have the INF drivers installed, I will not be able to get into windows.  However, if I don't have them installed (like right now) normal things, like typing this message, I can do, but I can't play any games   .  From what I have read I am thinking that it is one of a few things.  A, it has something to do with the AGP driver/ and voltage setting things.  Many people were talking about issues like this with the 9600, and 9800 pro (not all in wonder).  So there might be some bios settings that would help; though I have no knowledge of how such things work. B, is that the card is just a dud and I should just give it up and try to send it back in.  I am afraid of option B mainly because I know it will take forever, and then I have no comp, and because of dreaded option C.  The motherboard is simply incompatabile with the Radeon 9800 Pro All in Wonder 128mb version.  Please let me know if anyone has had similiar problems, if I am up a creek, or how to set the bios...  Here is my system specs; I will check back to see if I need to add anything.  Thanks a bunch.

    Radeon 9800 Pro All in Wonder 128mb
    Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum
    Antec Performance Plus SOHO File Server Case ATX12V
    (There doesn't seem to be anything in the Bios updates that will help me luckily, because I want to avoid flashing it if I can.)

    Okay, I will try to answer any questions as they came.  First off, Windows XP Professional is what I have.  I tried to install the video drivers with both the inf update from intel, and the one from MSI installed.  Again it crashes at login screen with any sort of inf update (ie agp drivers) installed.  Radeon is running at 4x with fast writes disabled, however there is one interesting thing I learned Another thing to note about the problem is when I got to the ATI SMARTGART advanced settings little program (within the ati folder under program files) I can see that PCI write, and read are both on, and AGP read and write are both off. I am not a genius in relation to computers, but how could this card be acting as a PCI card, when it is installed in a AGP slot?  Is this because since I don't have the inf update installed, so as far as the computer knows that agp slot is a PCI one? A further thing to note is that whenever I install the video card driver for my All in Wonder 9800 Pro, is that it installs two cards from what device manager shows. One is "ALL-IN-WONDER 9800 SERIES" the other is ALL-IN-WONDER 9800 SERIES - Secondary". According to device manager they are both located on PCI Bus 1, device 0. Disabling one or the other does not seem to make difference. A final thing to note is that I took an All in Wonder 9000 out of a friends comp and put it into my with the inf update installed; it booted windows and detected it fine. Does this mean my card is a dud and needs to be sent in for repairs, or is there some kind of voltage issue?  As for other PCI cards, I have a modem that is not even installed at:
    PCI Slot 2 (PCI bus 3, device 1, function 0)
    Sound card at PCI Slot 3 (PCI bus 3, device 2, function 0)
    Again Video Card (PCI bus 1, device 0, function 0)
    The onboard Gigabit Ethernet is at (PCI bus 2, device 1, function 0)
    Another thing that might help clue someone in is that I have
    Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller
    Listed 5 times; IRQ's are 23, 16, 19, 18, 16
    The IRQ of my All-In-Wonder is also 16 if this means anything. No conflicts listed of course.  Another note is that my onboard ethernet's irq is 18, same as one of the usb host controllers, and it works fine...
    I can't think of anything else to add, let me know what you think.  Thanks a ton so far guys.

  • MSI KT4V and Barton 3000+ crash problem

    Hi all!
    I recently upgraded my PC (MSI KT4V) with an AMD Barton 3000+ CPU. Before I had a 2600+ Throughbred.
    With my old 2600+ I could run my system stable with a FSB set at 166. It couldn't go much higher that 175 before the system became unstable.
    With my new Barton I have a problem :
    With my FSB set at 166 games like Far Cry and COD crashes. Explorer crashed at sites with Flash content (flash.ocx error report) otherwise no problems. My Pinnacle studio 7 program couldn't render playable movies.
    After I underclocked my CPU, setting the FSB at 154 giving me a total speed of 2GHz, all problems are gone now  
    My system reports a CPU temp at 48 degrees celsius at a 166 FSB setting but could it be a cooling problem anyway?
    I have used Artic Silver as thermal paste on the CPU die.
    I have reset my memory timings to CAS 2,5 even though the Corsair RAM supports CAS 2 to get the most stable system.
    Is the KT 400 chipset up for the job with the increased speed?
    I would like to get the most performance out of my new Barton so I hope that some of you guys can help me out here.
    My system spec is :
    Win XP SP1 and SP2
    CPU : AMD Barton XP 3000+
    Motherboard : MSI KT4V (Bios 1C0)
    Soundcard : SB Audigy 2
    Graphics card : Radeon 9800pro 256
    Memory : 1GB Corsair XMS (CAS 2)
    Power suply : Antec 480W
    All latest drivers installed
    Best Regards
    Basse

    Hi Osnavi!
    48 degrees is an idle temp and about 51 stressed.
    The processor is an Athlon 3000+ 333MHz
    The cooler is a Thermaltake Silent Boost
    I have 2 modules 512 MB Corsair XMS PC 2700 333MHz placed in slot 1 and 3
    I forgot to tell that I ran memtest386 with the fsb set at 166 and I had error reports on the 128Kb L1 cache right away. Lowering the fsb to 154, the memtest came out alright.
    Should I remove the heatsink and reaply cooling paste - silver-free maybe?
    Strange  
    Any ideas are welcome
    Best regards
    Basse

  • Digital Audio G4 and Radeon 9800 Pro

    Has anyone had the same fuss w/a Digital Audio and ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition? Been through about 5 cards (lost count somewhat) and constantly getting a display of the video card (with its power connector flashing red) on a black screen. Only by opening the box and reconnecting the power connections, and sometimes reseating the card, do I get successful results, with the Mac booting properly.
    No other card (others that I use do not require an additional power connector like the 9800 does) seems to have this problem; all boot properly.
    There is a Sonnet 1.8 Ghz Dual CPU upgrade, 2 internal hard drives, a raid card, and FW 800 and FW 400/USB2 cards, but additional power connections for those have been unplugged. I'm good with letting any external devices run on their own power.
    Thanks much, to anyone that may have a suggestion or a solution.

    Hi-
    With regards to the connector graphic, this invariably means that there isn't power connected.
    State the obvious, but, have you tried pulling power from a different connector? Maybe try a new extension........ Molex connectors can work loose from the cap, and slide back when attaching to a device. This would give the appearance of being connected, though in reality, otherwise.
    Have you tried without any of the PCI cards installed? I wouldn't want to remove the processor, either, though the dual does pull some power at boot. The DA PSU, however, should be able to handle both the processors and the 9800..... unless the PSU has a weak 12v/5v/3.3v rail....
    Pulling the PCI cards will clear up whether or not the problem is with power in the PCI bus.
    As for posting a picture, you need to host the picture at a site like Photobucket or Imageshack. Then, place a link (produced at the host site) in your thread.

  • K7N2 and Radeon 9800 Pro Prob..

    I work at a computer store in Killeen texas and am having an issue with the K7n2 Mobo. When we use a Radeon 9800 pro from ATI, we do not get video on every boot. The system will go itno windows but will not show a post screen or windows. This only happend with version 3.4 of the bios. We downgraded to version 3.3 And the card worked perfect. Their is a new 3.5 Bios. Was wondering if I should upgrade to this bios or Leave it at 3.3. By the way....We tried three other K7n2 boards and two different Raddy9800s. We also had a similar prob with the All in wonder 8500. And again version 3.3 of the bios worked fine. Any Ideas....

    leave it at 3.3 as its not changed
    but its not all boards and all ati its wierd

    bah i am so diappointed they are not out in the stores yet
     i saw some thread where i guy got one and tried it only to rma it,
    so i looked it upon line and they said both versions were out,
    so i took the ol 60 min car ride to the bigger comp stores only to find some pre order signs....bah..
    on the bright side cpu mag said the x800 pro will use less power then a 9800
    so that is good news, indeed
