MSI MS-6380E v1.0 Mobo - KT3 Ultra

Hi
I have updated this board with the most recent BIOS (v5.7) from MSI website.
This update supports AMD Barton XP3000+ (FSB333) CPU (For KT3 Ultra2 Only)
The CPU support page does not shed any light on whether the board will support
FSB 166 but I believe it does with Thornton and Thoroughbred cores as the board
does have the KT333 chipset.
Could someone please confirm?
Thanks

Henry, please don't feel offended. This was written before I posted (remember question is will barton work):
Me:        "No Barton because max fsb is 133mhz"
JEWilson: "Y - but the KT3 Ultra has the KT333 chipset which will allow you to run FSB 333Mhz for RAM"
Grayone: "Try your 3200 in it and see if it will run it at a 166fsb.  The bios may show it as an unknown processor or one with a lessor model number
               but that should answer your question."
You:       "Yes you can use PC2700 (333) memory, it shows that in the manual."
So things were mixing up between fsb and ram clock, I know you were correctly refering to ram speed but in this context it seemed if ram has something to do with fsb.

  • I upgrade a new mobo KT3 ULTRA 2-C

     Ather I set CMOS it booted the HD  Do need to reinstall XP OS ?Well I will reinstall anyway it will fix everything. Do you think? Its was working good for a hour but the red light4 is red means TESTING RTC REAL TIME CLOCK also red light bad memory change it out

    thank yaw

    You can, but if you find problems, you'll know where they come from. BTW the faster memory will degrade to slower mem. speed. Also, if you'r running a 333FSB CPU. memories will run at that max.speed.

  • MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU + All In Wonder Problem

    I've got a odd problem that is related to putting my machine into Standby.  If I do so the night before, then wake the system up in the morning I see issues that point to memory corruption or driver failure or a conflict with the VIA chipset.  Outlook Express will lock up on launch, the ATI digital VCR app will either not launch or fail to shutdown if it does.  I clean installed Windows XP, then updated it with XP SP1.  Of note is that the video card works ok with the OS supplied driver but if you install the ATI drivers (which are needed to make the TV and Digital VCR work) this stuff happens.  I have reinstalled several times so I am pretty sure this isn't just a messy config issue.  I've had bad experiences similar to this with VIA chipset mobos in the past so this doesn't surprise me.
    Anyone ever see this?  Know of a fix?

  • KT3 Ultra 2 w/ 333MHz FSB

    I saw an announcement on MSI's website saying that the KT3 Ultra 2 can support the 333 MHZ FSB Athlon XP 2800+. Anyone know if it will run it at 333 MHz or 266 MHz?

    no prob

  • MSI KT3 Ultra 6380E and (RAM)

    Will the KT3 Ultra(6380E) support a 512mb DDR RAM at 400mhz?

    I`m thinking the MB`s and memory are backwards complient, meaning sure 400MHZ memory will run in there, but the MB will not be able to run it @ 400MHz only 333. Right from MSI product info page.
    Main Memory  
        - Supports six memory banks using three 184-pin DDR DIMMs
    - Supports a maximum memory size up to 3GB

  • PSU Query for MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU running 3000xp

    Hi There,
       Before buying a new Motherboard I was just wondering if the problems I'm getting are related to the PSU which is about 5 years old. I've just upgraded my processor to a Athlon 3000 XP 333 FSB which goes into the MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU (MS-6380E v1.X) motherbaord, which I've upgraded the Bios to version 5.7, I've also  upgraded my graphics card to the Leadtek Geforce FX5900XT which also plugs into the PSU. When setting my fsb to 166 my PC either won't boot or when I try to run say 3DMark it just freezes, but when I set my FSB to 133 it works fine. I was wondering if it is trying to draw too much power from the CPU.
       I don't really know how to write the PSU details down correctly so I've just copied everything from the unit.
    Power Man MN :- FSP 300 - 60 BT

  • Broken component on MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU mainboard.

    Hi Everyone,
    A friend of mine has an MSI mainboard which has a broken component due to his screwdriver slipping off the CPU clamp while installing a new CPU.  
    The mainboard is an MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU (MS-6380E) ATX Revision 1.0
    The broken component is next to the CPU socket (between the CPU socket and the chipset fan) and is labelled  L14 on the mainboard.  
    I believe it is a Ferrite bead inductor/choke.
    We have been unable to find the broken part and would like to replace it.  I can fit a new component if I can find out the value of the broken inductor/choke in millihenries or microhenries or picohenries.
    Would someone with an - MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU (MS-6380E) ATX Revision 1.0 - mainboard, please take a look at the component labelled  L14 and let me know what the numbers on that particular component are?
    You will probably need a magnifying glass to do this, unless your eyes are very good!
    If you know the value of this component, please help!
    I would welcome any information on this, it's a shame to scrap a mainboard because of a component costing only a few cents/pence.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who helps on this, I appreciate you taking time and trouble to help.
    Dave - needtoknow.

    Hi Bas,
    I got the part I needed but not from MSI, they would not sell me one, so I went to a USA company called Mouser Electronics.
    http://www.mouser.com/
    The part cost me only 34 cents US, shipping was $6.00!  So for about £4.00 UK I can fix the board.  Better than £20.00 by far.
    You can order even very small parts from mouser as a one off, something you can't do with most UK companies. Their range of stock is *huge*.
    Thank you very much for getting the info about the part from MSI for me. I could not have repaired it if you had not helped me with that, so I owe you.
    Dave, needtoknow.

  • MSI KT3 ultra aru Western Digital 200GB raid problem

    Hi!
    This is what I've got.
    KT3 Ultra-ARU (MS-6380E)
    AMD 2000+
    256 MB 333mhz RAM (AMD Compatible)
    Seagate ST330630A 30GB (an old drive)

    And the Software:
    I've updated all the software drivers so I've got the newest and I'm currently runnign Win2k SP3 with almost every patch installed on it.
    And finally the problem:
    When I've hook my WD2000JB to the on-board raid everything seems to be working normaly. The bios finds the drive and makes a new array. Win2k boots up and finds the drive and I can create an partition. But when I've try to format it it the computer starts to freeze for a while and then acts like normal again. The HDD-led blinks as it should during the "normal" time, but when the comp. freezes it stops blinking. The formatation stops at 7% and the HDD-led stops lighting. I don't get an error eventhough it was several hours since it stoped. And the formatation takes like 30min for 1%.
    When I connect the WD2000JB to the IDE3 I can format it and it acts just like normal. I even did a full system test with the System tool found on Western Digitals support site and it didn't find any errors. But when move it to the raid-IDE the errors return. I've get Error reading / writing to disk and when I've did a chkdsk I've got the "Coudn't use Device) so I did a scandisk and it found very very many errors so it completly ereased everything that was on it.
    And when I've run Western Digitals program again i've get an error (Disk error read/writing) error code: 0113.
    Can it be that the Western Disk doesn't work well with Raid? I've haven't heard anything about that, so...

    I've had similar problems where my system becomes very unstable at higher bus speeds. Installing Windows XP simply didn't work very good. However, I have ordered a new PSU today as a solution to this problem. Basically, CPUs and video cards are much more demanding and the more devices you have in your computer the more power you're going to need. I recommend purchasing the Enermax EG465P-VE (FCA) 450W ATX PS. It has a higher amperage rating and will most likely solve your problem.
    Check your PSU and your bus speed settings...

    in msi website the 333 fsb cpus are not supported too in kt3 ultra-ultra aru but they still work... so it make sense to discuss  if applebred work or not in those mobos.

  • MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU

    Can anyway say to me the PCI/AGP dividers of MSI Kt3 ULTRA -ARU?
    Thanx in advance

    The agp 1x, 2x, 4x, and on other new mobos 8x, have nothing to do with the speed at which it operates. It has something to do with the transfer and how much more bandwidth there is between the agp card and the system bus.
    The 1/4 dividers has:
    PCI = 1/4*133 = 33mhz
    AGP = 2/4*133 = 66mhz
    The 1/5 dividers has:
    PCI = 1/5*166 = 33mhz
    AGP = 2/5*166 = 66mhz
    The futuristic 1/6 dividers will have:
    PCI = 1/6*200 = 33mhz
    AGP = 2/6*200 = 66mhz
    Your equation "...and the AGP card of 4X = 4(FSB/5)" would yield a result of 4(133/5) =  106mhz for the agp so it is way out of spec.
    Hey man, I've unlockes my athlon xp 1900+, changed multiplier to 10x, fsb to 166 and sisoft sandra 2002 sp1 said that the pci was running at 42 mhz and the agp at 84. MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU, bios 5.5
    Also, I can't run with 12.5/13x, it uses 12 instead.
    Can you help me?

    Here is my problem:
    Just built the machine, checked every plug and everything and when I turn on the machine I got no screen, no post, no beeps, nothing.
    So I turned the machine, and cleared the CMOS.  Turned the machine back on and got post , went into the BIOS, set the time,date, yada yada, all the drives were detected fine.  I went in the Frequency/Voltage Control screen and the "CPU FSB Clock" was set to 100 mhz, "CPU Ratio" was set to Auto as was the "CPU Voltage, DDR Voltage, and AGP Voltage".  I saved settings and rebooted but then I didn't get a screen, no post, no beeps.  
    I tried clearing CMOS again, turned machine on, got back in the BIOS just fine.  I tried setting the CPU FSB Clock to 133mhz and left everything else on Auto.  Rebooted and once again ..nothing.. no screen.
    I don't understand what the problem could be.  It seems that I can only get a screen when I clear the CMOS.  But even if i use the "Load BIOS Setup Defaults" or even the "Load High Performance Defaults" I still get no screen or anything when I reboot.
    Can anyone help me here?  I have never run into this before.
    Thanks in advance!!
    Joe

    If it is only doing it when you turn your bus speed of 100 up to 133 for the xp processor then I have had the problem.  If you are booting with a bad cpu that isn't working properly (can't run at 133)  then the computer will not POST.  As soon as you clear the cmos it sets the speed back down to 100 for failsafe.  If you try to boot a duron processor like a 700 or something on fsb 133 then the motherboard won't post.  Make sure you don't have a duron processor instead of a athlon xp or a bad cpu.  I would recommend taking it to the place you bought it or else an autorized amd spot.  They should be able to throw in another proc and check it out.

  • Random resets with a kt3 ultra and a MSI GF3 ti200 in 3d games

    Im having random resets with a kt3 ultra and a MSI GF3 ti200 in 3d games; namely Mafia and Bf1942. Ive tried new drivers for the video card, checked the cpu temp, and bios settings. Any ideas on how to fix it or is their a compatibility problem with the mobo and the video card?

    I found my 6380 v2.0 mobo liked 1 brand of ram more than other.I only run crucial,kingston or muskin(micron chips)ram.Put all bios settings to defaults & try only 1 stick(1 brand) of ram at a time.I also found my gf3 ti 200 & 500 liked certain versions of drivers over others.It would crash on some.Try original cd install drivers that came w/  vid :D  card.Try running 3d mark 2k1 bencmarks to test all drivers & ram.
