KT4 Ultra (6590) need update of the Promise SATA RAID Controller PDC20376

The last Bios update AMI 1.4 for the KT4 Ultra (6590) have built in the bios version 1.00.0.18 for the PDC20376 (Promise 376).
I can configure 2 maxtor (6E040T0) sata1 in a raid0 array and it works under WinXP SP3,
but the 2 drives are working in UDMA5 according to the FastBuild Utility when the motherboard specifications talks about 150Mb (SATA1).
It's not an OS problem because the FastBuild Utility at Bios startup show the UDMA5 mode for HDD.
It's not a Maxtor 6E040T0 (SATA1) problem because have no jumper to set.
The Promise support center don't provide support for built in raid controller but the responce was that it's related to a known bios issue of the controller, so i have to update.
For the last Bios version for the S150 TX4 controller look at:
http://promise.com/support/download/download2_eng.asp?productId=108&category=all&os=100&go=GO
It's impossible to update the bios with the promise tool because the controller is integrated in the motherboard.
I read for example than on the motherboard K7N2 Delta-ILSR the bios version of the Promise 376 controller is 1.00.0.21:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=92756.msg665966#msg665966
I think the only solution is a modding bios, where i have to replace only the Promise controller bios but:
1) The tool amibcp.exe can't open the A6590VMS.140 AMI bios (renamed .rom), i don't know why!!!
2) What promise controller bios rom file is good?
Can anyone out there help . . . please ?

This is my results compared to my other UDMA6 HDD on IDE1, HDTach long bench stop with "Read Error" and only quick bench works.
The version of the Controller driver under WinXP-SP3 is 1.0.1.29 and I configured the driver in the PAM Utility with:
"Driver Write Cache" enabled and "Write Back" as cache settings (The 2 Maxtor SATA1 in RAID have 2MB of cache, but i don't know How many cache have the controller!!).
The Burst Speed is too strange!!! quick bench error?

KT4 Ultra 6590

Hi!..
I got recently problem when i installed my new ddr-memory
It's a: ddr twinmos pc3200 512Mb (400mhz FSB) with winbond.
Something weird happened when running c&c geneals.
An area on the screen lost the graphic suddenly and went like black, and then 1 sec. after the whole system freezed. music hanged to beep.
And the only thing to do was reset.
Before this 512 memory I had a twinmos pc2100 256 Mb (266mhz) and had never any problems at all....
I have heard from a friend that kt4 ultra 6590 has problems with running memories in 400Mhz ...It worked though when testing to play c&c generals directly in a 4 hours period after I installd the memory this night.
But now something protested. ?(
But everything else works excellent in windows and all (knock in wood ;P )......huh???
Pleased for answers
Help!
/p

http://www.memtest86.com , that can tell you if the memory and the board are getting along.
Let it run for about an hour.
If the test doesn't find a problem you should check and see if lowering the memory to 333MHz helps.
It might also be the power supply not handling it all with the new RAM and crashing under the stress.

KT4 ultra (6590) and Randeon 8500 instability

This is my pc:
Msi Kt4 Ultra (6590)
Athlon Xp 2000+
512 mb ddr pc 2700
Ati Radeon 8500 Ret.
maxtor diamondplus 8 80gb
Pioneer DVD 16x slot-in
Asus ISDN Adapter internal
Skystar 2 DVB sat Adapter
Power Supply Deer 350 W (amd certificaded)---- 5v/35A
3,3/24A
Monitor 19" Philps 109B.
S.O WinXP PRO SP1.
My systems runs great but when i play games sometimes my system crash and (very curios) before about 3-5 min of game play i see small interferences like small white orizzontal jolt similar the interference when a cellular phone ring near the monitor. the problem it persists with any resolution and any monitor refresh rate !!!!!
What i've tested:
I have the lasted KT4 ultra bios, test any Randeon Drivers (include the lasted 779 beta drivers) and lasted via's drivers
Near my monitor there isn't any interference source !!
Monitor is perfect (tested in other system )
it's not Radeon8500 problem because i play games perfectly in other system (a7v266 and same hardware)
KT4 are not damaged because i play game perfectly with another video card (geforce2 Mx400)
It's not a PSU problem because i replaced AMD athlon 2000 + with AMD Athlon 900 (the rest hardware is the same) and the problem it persists.
although i have 5 years experience under PC assemblage , I do not know that what to make!!!
is There an incompatibility with Radeon8500 and KT4 Ultra ??
Please someone can help me ??? ;( ;(

It might be the AGP driving value problem. Set it to EA in BIOS. It works for most people with components like yours. If that does not help, switch to AGP 2x and see if the problem went away. If it did, look for other DGP Driving values and turn off some AGP related features (sideband, fastwrite etc)
If that did not help,
See this post and try to draw come conclusions. Sometimes the Power Supply is at fault not because of being underpowered (which you checked with Athlon 900) but because of the incorrectunstable voltages and other similar crap. With 266Mhz fsb and 333Mhz memory interface the boards now are too sensitive to cheep power supplies.
Good Luck

New Bios for the KT4 Ultra bfisr mobo

Hello all!
This is the first post for me in this forum, and i want to ask you guys if they fixed the new 1.4 bios and temp reading for the KT4 ultra motherboard?
Currently i am running bios 1.3 but like to stay uppdated hardware wise.
Would you guys recommend flashing to this new bios?
I used the LiveUpdate 2 utility last time and it worked flawlessly.
Hows the overclocking options in the new 1.4 bios?
Do Msi mess with the ram timings from bios to bios like my old abit mobo did?had to put slower timings from every uppgrade of bios with that board...does msi do the same thing?I wanna be able to run cas2 etc as i do atm.
Well that was it basicly.
All answers will be higly preciated.
TIA.

Hi,
Nope, the temp reading problem isn't fixed yet.
As it's still there in version 1.5B1.
MSI is investigating this.
As for HD speed, I have not seen a fix so far.
So if your system is stable at BIOS 1.3, stay with it.
As BIOS'ses are NOT updates but bug-fixes.
They only update they do is giving support for newer CPU's if needed.
Best not flash if you don't have problems.

HELP! HELP! HELP! KT4 Ultra (6590)

Hi People,
About a month ago I bought a new system... Here are the specs....
- AthlonXP 1800+
- MSI KT4 Ultra (MS-6590)
- 512 Mb DDR PC2700 (Spetek)
- MSI GeForce4 MX440 AGP
- Maxtor DiamondMax 9 60Gb IDE
- LG CD-RW 52x24x52 IDE
- Generic 60x CD-Rom IDE
- 320w Power Supply (AMD Certified)
I have the following problem... RANDOM BOOTS! :( I dunno what is the problem... But I have some questions to MSI and for you... My KT4 hasn´t a cooler chipset on northbrigde, is it normal? Cause my system temperature is between 46ºC (idle) and 48ºC (full)... and my CPU is 47ºC (idle) and 52ºC (full)... HELP! HELP! HELP! What should I do? Ah, BIOS version is 1.2...
Best regards,
Bruno.

Your PC setup is pretty similar to mine. I had similar reboots as well and suspected the KT4 Ultra. It turned out to be a dodgy stick of RAM. Try the ramtesters from http://www.simmtester.com and http://www.memtest86.com, they'll definately find any RAM problems. Other than that disable the auto reboot on crash and see what the message on the Blue Screen tells you.
For info, since my rebuild with a new stick of ram I'm running...
4in1 v4.45
Latest MSI drivers from MSI Update v2 (except the beta graffics driver)
Bios 1.3 (though 1.2 seemed ok to me)
XP SP1 with all updates from MS.
Hope this helps...

KT4 Ultra (6590) - NB Chipset Sensor Fan

The KT4 Ultra have three Fan Power Connectors, how can i read in the manual:
"Fan Power Connectors: CFAN1/SFAN1/NBFAN1
The CFAN1 (processor fan), SFAN1 (system fan) and NBFAN1
(NorthBridge fan) support system cooling fan with +12V. It supports three pin
head connector."
The mobo have onboard a Winbond W83697HF sensor chipset.
With every software (PCAlert,Speedfan,Everest) i tried to read sensors statistics (Temp/Fan speed), i can read only two stats.
I have three fan connected:
1 for the CPU - CFAN1 (i can read Temp and Fan speed)
1 for the system - SFAN1 (i can read Temp and Fan speed)
1 for the NorthBridge - NBFAN1 (provided by the mobo itself and i can't read stats)
The NBFan is working and is three pin capable (three wires).
Every software show only two stats and not three with one all zero.
Now i have to change the fan or simple the mobo don't provide stats for the NB chipset?
someone with the same mobo can read this stats?
Thanks for every help.

Has it been like this for 5+ years? Probably the sensor is gone or damaged. Don't think so, but it is also possible the fan connection is damaged, so not all three reach the motherboard. (Upside down?)
If you have no problem I wouldn't worry about it. Once you start experiencing problems get a fanless heatsink, from Zalman for example. Think this will fit:

KT4 Ultra(6590) over 13 Gb Boot HDD problem

I am stumped...Completely...
I have a KT4 Ultra I am setting up with 512 ram, AMD 1.3 gig XP, WinXP Pro, blah blah, all works fine...But it will not recognize a HDD larger than 13 Gb as master but will as slave.
I have tried numerous drives. It boots to a black screen with a blinking cursor.
Here is the drives that work as primary:
IBM Deskstar 13.6 Gb and a WD313000 13.2 Gb..Both load up fine..
Now I have these drives with operating systems and all, that just go to a cursor:
2 different 40 gb Seagate ST340810A, and a 20 Gb WD200
all work as slave drives and full capacity shows..I do not want my slower and smaller 13 gb to be my primary master.
Also they are not recognized as master in IDE3.
Please help!!!!!!!

I am not going to worry much over the PSU, my comp seems to run pretty cool.
Anyways I solved the boot problem and it was not the IDE cable backwards or jumper locations. It was because the drives i was trying to boot from were secondary drives on a dual boot system, i just did advanced install on the new drive and tried using that drive as master. Both 40 gigs are now working...Lesson learned. I am not an expert, but i am getting there
Now i have to figure out the IDE RAID thingie..I know there is already a host of info on it so i will do a search.
Thank you all for your help, and I will probably be here again with something or another, lol.

Where can I find an online product manual for my KT4 Ultra?

In some of the already available FAQ's and guides and such, there is one common link that apparently leads to the manuals, but whenever I go to the specified link I get a error . The link Ive been using is
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/manual/mnu/spt_mnu_list.php
But when I go there in both IE and Firefox I get an error
"Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /usr/local/www/eng/program/support/manual/mnu/spt_mnu_list.php on line 58"
Can anyone point me to where I could now find a manual?
Thanks

Windows XP and MSI KT4 ULTRA 6590-FISR

Has anyone figured out how to do a clean install of Win XP with this board?
I keep getting a "Device Not Certified error", at which point I elect to IGNORE the error and continue. There is absolutely NO INDICATION of what the problem device is.
However, at exactly 34 minutes left "Installing Windows", the installation routine locks up and I can't go any further.

The 2nd day into this,(I am on day 5) I took out my RAM and replaced it from another machine...same problem.
I then took out my PS and replaced it from another machine...same problem.
Diagnosing/testing all RAM and the PS showed no problems.
I then went through the BIOS and performed a multitude of enabling/disabling system settings. By disabling the following INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS/OnBoard PCI Controller Item:
LAN Controller
I was able to get Windows XP to load.
However, I cannot get XP to boot...not in NORMAL, or SAFE or SAFE with NETWORK, SAFE with PROMPT. But I am making progress.

MSI KT4 Ultra 6590 destroyed "L19"

Hi!
While trying to change the cooling system I pushe my srew driver too much in so I destroyed the Spool (??) L18 near the CPU which is (At least in my opinion) important for the AGP, which means that the Computer boots normally but without image on the screen!
The Question is: how can I change the spool?
Where can I get one to replace it??
which Induction Capacity does it have to have?
mike

Hi,
The answers to your questions I got from MSI for L18:
it can only be done if he has knowledge or experience in soldering
normally, the spare parts can be bought on hardware parts store selling capacitors/resistors etc.
L18,inductor,10n/5%,0603,400mA,RDC=0.26 ohm

KT4 Ultra BIOS Update soon?

Has anyone got any info about the intended release date of the next BIOS update for the KT4 Ultra 6590? It seems the KT4V is getting a load of updates....
