Question of MSI 694T-Pro

My motherboard of PC is msi-694T-pro, although I 've updated BIOS to the latest V7.5, I feel it so low in speed. For instance, I used Windows tool to testmy PC and find it cann't exceed my 815EPT, especially in VGA card and SDRAM!
My PC:
694T-Pro (v7.5 BIOS)
PIII 1G
HY PC133 512M
DVD-ROM
GEFORCE4 MX440SE 64M
160G HDD
May I need to purchase a PIII-S 1.4G CPU, can it improve my PC'speed as much as possible?
Need I change ATI Radeon 8500 VGA card instead of my old card?
How to renew my PC assemblies in high effiiciencyand economy?
Thanks!

Welcome to the forum
The fastest PIII cpu that is supported by your motherboard is a 1.26 Tulatin core.  Check the cpu support chart.

Do you have 4x agp enabled in your bios?  Your video card is able to run at 4xagp.
Does your cpu have the 100Mhz front side bus?  If the cpu has a 100Mhz fsb and the memory is set to run 1:1 with the cpu in the bios, then the memory is running at 100Mhz as well instead of the 133 that it is rated to run at. 
Setting the memory to run at Auto or SPD is the bios will help speed the system up a little.
I would not spend any money on it to try and speed it up if it was mine.  Save that money and add to it until you can purchase the components to build a new system.  That will give you the best return on any investment you might make for computer parts..

  • Need I upgrade My MSI 694T-Pro?

    I have a mainboard which I have been using it over 5 years. Actually, I like it very much because it never making any troubles to me. Owing to it's high quality and suitability that I almost had  not it repaired.
    My favor 6309 V5.0, I had refreshed it's BIOS to new version V7.5 and it can support 160G HDD. Unfortunately, I am still using GF2 MX400 32M VGA card and PIII 1G CPU, I found my motherboard can support PIII-S tulatain and I dislike CIII so I wanna to purchase a PIII-S 1.4G and ATI9550 double 128M VGA card but I hesitate to carry out my plan at once.
    For one thing, PIII-S 1.4G may be not well than my imagine, for another I have not known  ATI 9550 can be used on my board because  I have heard somebody often say it can't using in VIA board.
    I am a fans of MSI and I have bought a new P35 motherboard now. However, I am not willing to dispose my 694T-Pro and I am using it like my close friend sometimes. For your surprising, My 6309 V5.0 still look like brandnew and I plan to using it 3-5years.
    Need I upgrade My MSI 694T-Pro? Thank you ,very much!

    Thank you for your reply!
    Firstly, I am willing to upgrade my 6309 only for loving it deeply but I have  owned a newly PC now, I have bought it last month and it is advanced as many people perfect. ( Q6600+P5K SE +2G*2 Kingston+320G 7200.11 +XFX 8800GT +TT KK550 +G1 +DVD SATA)
    Secondly, I wanna to obtain good quality of  screen display, meanwhile, I found it has little distinguish from new PC when I am  just typing and suffering Internet. However, I had a amount of PC games under DX 8.0 so I need a stronger VGA card instead of my GF2, how about it?
    Overall, I just use my 6309 for simple affair and I usually do more complicated work by means of new PC.
    My question is ,  what a best VGA card can 694T-Pro be used ?
    Thank you!

  • MSI 694T Pro USB

    I Have a    MSI 694T Pro (MS-6309 v5.0)
    i have had trouble hooking up the front USB port plugs on my tower to the motherboard pins
    does anyone have a diagram or description of what order the plugs should go in
    Thanks

    Pin 1 = Power Pin 2 = Power
    Pin 3 = Data - Pin 4 = Data -
    Pin 5 = Data + Pin 6 = Data +
    Pin 7 = Ground Pin 8 = Ground
    Pin 9 = Key or Blocked pin Pin 10 = Ground OC (open/no connection)
    In your little depiction pin 1 will be upper left, pin 2 upper right, no pin 9, pin 10 lower right
    Edit: looks like Richard got that one in there before I hit the post button.

  • Rebooting after it boot up once..[MSI 694T pro]

    spec : PIII 1GHhz..
    I busted my mainboard a week ago so I ordered MSI 694T pro to replace
    well..it seems like working well
    but after I leave the computer off for long time,
    if I turn on the computer, the computer reboot itself automatically after it goes into Windows..
    I thought it was ACPI problem. so I tried to flash the BIOS. I tried all version of BIOS, but none of those BIOS can't fix the problem.
    Rebooting occurs only once when I turn on the computer.
    After I can use without any problem.
    Because of automatic reboot during booting up, Windows gets massed up...
    is the board inferior? or is there any way to fix this problem?

    I found the problem..
    it was one of the memories..
    One of those were broken. I tried switching network cards to find out the problems, but I couldn't find anything.
    Finally, I parted everything and put those one by one..
    oh my gosh...it was the stupid memory...
    but still I have a problem
    After I reinstalled win2k, one other blue screen msg came out.
    Actually, it also came out when I used the broken memory, but I didn't mention about it b/c I thought every problem was from mainboard, which wasn't..
    anyway, after I reinstalled w2k, it says this mainboard doesn't support ACPI, but it is supposed to be...
    but this msg also comes out only once. After all, it never comes out again..but I just wonder why this happens
    thx

    Did you enable onboard LAN back in BIOS?

  • MSI 694T Pro AGP and PCI clocks in OC

    Hi!
    I wonder about when raising FSB on this motherboard; will there be any divider for the pci and agp clocks, so the pci stays at 33 mhz so I don't mess up any hardware there? And what about the AGP?  ?(
    specs are as follows:
    1.2 celeron (100*12)
    ATI Radeon 7500
    I'll be happy for all responding!  )
    And excuse my english please!  

    Hi Assaf,
    This gets to be more of a mystery!

    No, there is no sign any such a device in the boot up information, which is a bit strange isn't it? It lists my other stuff o.k. - see below.
    What other PCI cards do you have?
    I have the following installed:
    Network Adaptor 1: Realtek RTL8139(A)-based PCI Fast Ethernet Adaptor. The driver for this must be included in Win 2000 as I didn't have to install anything for it.
    Network Adaptor 2: BT Speedway ISDN PCI Card Rev. A (Win 2000). I had to install the driver for this from the supplied CD.
    Video Adaptor: NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 M64/M64 PRO. I installed the latest unified driver from NVIDIA (Version: 44.03
    Release Date: May 14, 2003).
    What puzzles me most is that when I rebuilt the system I started out with just the video card installed and no other adaptors (the card was using the Microsoft supplied driver) and there was no sign of the sound system then. So, unless there is something fundamentally wrong with the motherboard surely the sound should have been detected?
    Cheers and thanks for your help.

  • MSI 694T Pro with coppermine 1ghz, how to overclock?

    hello !
    I've tried everything, but without result...
    I have pentium coppermine (celeron) 1ghz.
    please, can you tell me (step-by-step) how to do the overclock...
    cooler is spire WhisperRock III
    (now, the temperature of processor is about 20°C)
    (fuzzy logic doesn't work in winxp - error: "privileged instruction")

    Go to BIOS and increase the FSB speed.

  • Help! 694T Pro (MS6309) not working...

    I have a MSI 694T Pro (otherwise known as a MS6309) which worked very well until a few days ago when I changed my cpu cooler. Now it POST's perfectly and I can enter and use the BIOS setup but it simply hangs when trying to boot (HDD, CD or Floppy). The D-Leds say that it's trying to boot.
    I have a thesis to finish by the end of the month so I really need my computer.

    I did remount the original cooler (with plenty of heat goop) and checked every cable. The hard drive, floppy and dvd are all detected properly, and the cpu temperature and cpu fan speeds give nice healthy readings in the bios...

  • 694T Pro and Asus v8200 video card

    I can't seem to make my MSI 694T Pro run at AGP 4x mode with my Asus v8200 (a GeForce3 video card). It's running at 2x only with this card, but with GeForce2 cards it runs at 4x. I tried different versions of nVIDIA drivers and updating the BIOS to no avail.
    Any ideas?

    Okay, this is starting to suck, my new Mac Pro is acting up too. I have posted about crashing to another thread where NVChannel has problems and the screen freezes. And now I have this problem too. It's hard to get any new windows to appear (such as context lists, menu views or just normal application windows).
    And my log is full of this:

  • 694t pro 2beeps after bios upgrade

    Hi,
    I have an MSI 694t pro with a via chipset (vt82c694) and I was having problems with a sound card installation so I tried to upgrade the bios.  I used the bios on http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=20&kind=1 which was file name 6309v75.exe
    I unpacked the files and rebooted using a dos boot disk.  I ran the command for the bios tool with the path for the bios file (can't remember name exactly but something like... a:\avpl??.exe a:\temp\nameofbiosfile.708
    After rebooting I do not get any post... all I get now is an infuriating beep beep which happens in about a second, followed by a 1 second pause and then those two beeps in a second again followed by a 1 second pause and this goes on and on continuos.  I seem to recall a SIS agp logo when the motherboard used to work.  The lights from bottom to top und jacks on the motherboard light up red, red, green, red.
    Does anybody have any ideas what this problem is and how to work around it please?
    many thanks

  • MSI X58 Pro X-fire question

    Hi everybody, I have an MSI X58 Pro motherboard. It has 3xPci express slots with a configuration of 16x-16x-4x. My question is, if I have only two cards, can I have them at 16x-N/A-16x?
     In other words my first card has a heatsink which is slightly too big to fit another one on the second slot, so I would need to put it on the third slot, but will it run @ 16x or 4x?
    Thanks in advance

    Quote

    PCI_E5 slot would run it at 4X. I'm not sure if X-Fire will even run right in that configuration. The 'Important' note at the bottom of page 2-23 (English pdf manual) calls for PCI_E2 & PCI_E4 for X-Fire. You can always give it a try.

  • Building new system, MSI X58 Pro-E, i7 920, GTX 295, 6gb, Thermalright e-120

    Hello, I was hoping for some advice on this rig, to overclock or not, etc; Im a bug gamer, so its really about gaming to the max 1st,
    Heres the brand new parts;
    MSI X58 Pro-E (In the box, just arrived, do not know bios yet)
    i7 920
    Patriot Extreme Viper PVT36G1600ELK 6GB DDR3 9-9-9-24
    eVGA GTX295 1792mb CO-OP edition
    Thermalright extreme e-120 cpu cooler (Jesus that thing is huge)
    Im going to re-use this stuff:
    2x500gb seagate HDD sata raid 0 for performance
    Antec 900 case Lots of fans...nice
    DVD RW
    Corsair TX750W Says 60A on a single +12v rail (I think its good, only @ a year or so old)
    SB X-FI Fatality gamer sound card
    So, basically should I look to OC this setup a bit? maybe to like 3 GHz or so? If so, whats the "safest" method to OC? I have an excellent cpu cooler and a case that has a ton of fans in it so hopefully I should be good for cooling.
    Do I just OC the CPU? Will the memory run at its top speeds with this chip? or do I need to do something for the memory also, I recally for some reason on my current PC with a 780i SLI evga mobo I had to set the ram timins manually, they were never picked up properly on "auto", will I have that also on the MSI board?
    I hope Ive provided enough information to get started.
    Thank you for any help!
    Oh, I plan to build this baby the following weekend as I am working the next 2 weeks straight...meh

    Yes, why not?
    Do not be aiming for 3 GHz, you can run that on stock voltage.  4 GHz is more within the grasp of the TRUE 120.

    There's only one way to overclock - overclock...   There is no safe way of doing it...

    The only way you can overclock a CPU without overclocking anything else is with an extreme edition CPU.  (The i7 965, for example.)  It's overclocked by raising the CPU multiplier, not the baseclock frequency.
    With regular CPUs, you overclock the baseclock, which overclocks the CPU core, CPU uncore, memory, and QPI frequency.

    Extremely doubtful.
    I hope I've answered your questions.   I can be more thorough if you wish to know more.  Of course, Google can tell you more than I ever could.

  • MSI X58 Pro - Latest Chipset Driver

    Hi,
    Off and on I get an ATAPI error on Windows 7 x64. I'm running a i7 920 on my MSI X58 Pro (NOT the Pro E version).
    The symptoms are simple, booting into Windows load screen I get my hard drive light lit up non stop and nothing loads. I'm not sure if its trashing as I'm using an SSD. I've run HD Tune to test all my drives are they have reported them to be fine.
    I'll like to update the chipset drivers as a step to solve my problem
    The one on the official page shows:
    Intel 3/4/5 Chipset Drivers Ver: 9.1.2.1008
    Release Date: 2010-07-30
    http://www.msi.com/product/mb/X58-Pro.html#/?div=Driver&os=All
    This is the one I am using now.
    I went to Intel's website and found an more updated one:
    Intel® Chipset Device Software (INF Update Utility) Ver: 9.3.0.1019
    Release Date: 2011-11-27
    http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=3061&DwnldID=20775&ProductFamily=Chipsets&ProductLine=Desktop+Chipsets&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+X58+Express+Chipset&lang=eng
    My question is simple: Should I update my drivers to the one on the Intel site or stick with MSI's one?
    Also note that the MSI Pro has been discontinued and I'm not sure if the Pro x58 product page is updated.

    If the updates didn't help, to further assist with troubleshooting, a list of all your systems components will be needed. Don't forget to give details of the RAM & the PSU, especially the amps on the +12V rail(s).

  • 694T Pro

    Hello.. I hope that someone here can help me with this.  I have the 694T Pro MB. The processor is I think a 9 something.  The question is... what's going on with my computer!! lol.  Here's what's going on.  When I try to restart my computer it boots down but won't boot back up.  I turn the power off and back on and the LEDs on the mother board give me "Early Chipset Initialization" from what the book says.  My question is... what does that mean?  My MB bad or my processor?  Usually once I turn off and back on again it'll boot on up.  When I'm in Windows and working nothing appears to be wrong.  The CPU temp and tower temp are all fine.  Any ideas??
    Thanks,
    Amanda

    Okay, this might sound like a silly question that I probably already know how to do, but how do I reset the CMOS?  And with my power supply... Not sure if this will help any... but I have PC alert... and this is what it's ready for my power
    VCore - 1.78 V
    +5V    -  5.13 V
    3.3v     -  3.43 V
    +12V  -  12.50 V
    My Fan speed is 2753 RPM... It goes from there to 2800RPM.
    Everything has kept a pretty straight reading... within the red lines on it.  The thing about checking the power supply... I don't have another power supply so I can't just test it that way.  This time when I booted my computer I had all red lights.. turned it off the on and got GRRR.  Restarted it again and it booted on up.
