[VIA] MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU and a MSI FX5900XT 128MB DDR Video Card

Does any body out there know if a MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU and a MSI FX5900XT 128MB DDR Video Card will work well together?

like the grayone say, is true. for more ensure, try and search the graphic cards support list for your board at MSI (Sorry cause i don,t no is where the site located)
in my opinion, most is compability for your card, when is a AGP slot.
Except the new one like the AGP slot, call AGR( Accelaration Graphic Riser slot) that really need to find a compatibility graphic cards.....

MSI KT3 Ultra ARU and S2K Bus Disconnect

Hello
I have a MSI KT3 Ultra ARU and a AMD Athlon XP 2600+ (266 FSB version). I wonder if I have support for termal diode in both CPU and mainboard.
Is S2K Bus Disconnect and CPU HALT Command detection the same thing?

Quote
KT3 ultra's I believe were the first boards capable of reading thermal diode inside of AMD XP (Palamino/T-bred/barton, etc) and higher cores.
Not the first, but they were up there as being among the first. A few KT266 boards implemented the circuitry to read thermal diode. Second or third revision boards, or new models, based on KT266A and even KM266 began implementing the thermal diode circuitry.
KT3 Ultra has thermal diode read circuit:

MSI KT3 Ultra ARU and 200gb Hard Drive

I just bought a 200gb Hitachi Deskstar and loaded up Windows XP and noticed that the drive size is only 137GB instead of around 200. Does the KT3 Ultra Aru no support 200gb Hard Drives? What do I need to do to make this work? Thanks in advance.

The board supports such drives. But: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;303013

MSI KT3 Ultra ARU 5.7 BIOS and SoudBlaster Cards - Audigy

I have flashed my BIOS to 5.7 Version and my sound card start to make a lot of noise (crackling) when play AC3 or DVD. If you dont want to use the new AMD CPU 333 FSB you dont need to flash the BIOS - I have Flashed to 5.6 again but, if you want to use a 333 FSB CPU you can flash the BIOS to version 5.7 and if have sound problems use the PCI latency patch for VIA chipsets.
VIA chipset MotherBoard owners who have through all of the above and still have sound problems with their Soundblaster cards, might want to look into the PCI latency patch for VIA chipsets - get it here:

(scroll down the page there just a little to get to it).
There's also a similar page about resolving sound problems on Via chipset based computers here:

UPS 500 VA
Monitor Sony 19" E400E

Since my chip is an unlocked, I cannot easily run it at the default, but I can underclock it. At 100x6.0=600mhz, USB does not work, as well as 100x12.5. Same with 133x6.0 and 133x12.5. It appears to make no difference underclocking or overclocking.
I downloaded the right BIOS listed on MSI's KT3 Ultra-ARU page. I don't think the BIOSes are different anyway, since the same files, changelog, and etc are also listed for the Ultra-2 board.
A thing to note, that this is the onboard VIA-controller USB ports doing this. My Ultra-ARU's NEC-controller USB 2.0 ports work fine in both Win2k and Linux if I hook my mouse and keyboard up in those. This is not an ideal solution for me though.

Msi kt3 ultra aru ... Cnet pro200 Ethernet problem..

Hi guys
i have this wierd problem i cant figuer out
i just bought a new mobo an msi kt3 ultra aru and amd palamino xp 1800 512 mb kingston pc2700 ram
asus geforce (2) v7100 pro mx-400
the ohter stuff i have is imb deskstar 40gb maxtor diamond 7gb asus dvd and plextor 12/10/32 cd writer
the only pci card i have installed is Cnet pro 200 100/10Mbps Ethernet adapter..
i made a clean install whit winxp pro and i have installed the 5.40 bios and the new 4 in 1 from via and newest nvidia graphics driver
and im on broadband using a cable modem (dialup)
the problem is when i start the computer and windows is loadet i takes up to 30 - 45 sec before i can connect to the internet and proggys like virus protectors and firewalls also after 30 - 45 sec
but if i take the r45 cable out of the modem and start the computer it loads everything in a sec
then i plug the cable in a agin and i have acces to the internet
i have followed mr stevo and racerx27 bios settings
is there any one out there

if so then i can be reached at [email protected]

Think your network (TCP/IP) settings are wrong in some way..

MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU video lock-ups

Hello,
I have a 3 month old MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU. I am running Windows XP Professional and I am having a periodic lock-up where the screen will show blinking colored blocks and the system will freeze. Sometimes just hitting reset will cure the problem. Other times, hitting reset will create two vertical stripes of colored blocks scrolling down the screen. I have used the board on two entirely separate systems (One with AMD Athlon 2000+, Gainward GeForce 4200, 512 MB Samsung 2700 DDR, Western Digital Expert HD (tried both IDE #1 and RAID controller) (Other System, Athlon 1800+, a different Gainward Geforce 4200, 256 Crucial 2700 DDR, an older Maxtor hard drive). In either system, every once in a while, the system will freeze as described above (it has happened in Netscape 7.0, Microsoft Word 2000, America's Army game).
I have played around with the bios settings, reformatted hard drives, tried various revisions of the nvidia display drivers, swapped out video cards, etc. Any ideas? Do I have a bad board? Do I need to flash the BIOS? If the board is bad, what do I need to do to return it?
Thanks,
Matt Gumaer

The second system has a 330 watt enermax power supply. With the new system I put together, I put virtually the same board (MSI KT3 Ultra 2 with bluetooth and RAID), everything is the same as my first system (except the KT3 Ultra-ARU) and the stability is fine. So, I'm reasonably confident its not the power supply.

Overclocking the MSI KT3 Ultra ARU

Hey,
I read some reviews with the kt3 Ultra ARU and i have read that people have been getting the FSB up to around 167? Yet, i fail to get it past 151? Any suggestions?
-Knowa-
MSI KT3 Ultra ARU
AMD xp 1800+
768 mb pc2100
TDK 40x12x48
Lite ON DVD
ATI Radeon 8500 (GIGABYTE)

you would have more chance of it booting at 166
than 151 as the divider kicks in at 152
at 166 fsb your video and pci slots are at the correct speed
it can be done if you have been lucky with the cpu you gotlink

MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU error

Hi everyone, my motherbord is giving me the 8 or 9 beep code
(8 = Display memory Read/Write test failure, 9 = ROM BIOS checksum failure) guess I need a new motherbord?
I have a MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU and it has Promise 20276 (raid 0 and 1)
The beeping started after I did a clean install of winxp then a blue screen of death pop-up, when it boot up there was a blank screen then starts to beep
I Strip the system down to RAM, processor and video card only and even change the agp video card to a pci
and clear the bios by change the jumper and taking out the battery
any idea what it could be?

Neither processor or memory is supported. The processor is 166x2 (333) MHz. http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_cpu_support_detail.php?UID=11&kind=1
Edition: I would like that PSU!! - Eh, now that the processor wont work... Do you still have need for your PSU?

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?

MSI kt3 ultra aru sound problems

i have this board (kt3 ultra aru) and i can't make the center/sub outputs on the audio bracket to work.
the rear outputs are ok, but center/sub... dead. I only have that channels when I don't use the bracket.
Is my bracket damaged? or maybe a software related issue?

Why not try to reinstal drivers and check for new ones if any )

MSI KT3 Ultra ARU -- After placing XP 2600+, motherboard dead

Like the thread title says, my KT3 Ultra ARU board doesn't work anymore :( (no video signal, all D-leds red).
This is what happend, I upgraded my XP 2000+ to 2600+.
Everything worked like a charm, until I removed the 2000+ CPU and changed it with the 2600+.
No video signal and all D-Leds are red.
When I changed it back to the old situation (2000+), the motherboard did the same :(
I changed hardware, but with no results whatsoever(videocard, mem etc.), And the BIOS recovery tool is (like always) not possible, because the system doesn't respond to anything and just hangs at a black screen.
The BIOS was upgraded to v5.6 (XP 2400+/2600+ Support) before the change. The cooling sits perfectly and the core of the CPUs are good (not broken or anything).
Are these signs of a dead motherboard? ;(

Hi! I got the same problem. With BIOS version 5.4 and 5.5 I could choose between normal, fast and ultra. Now with 5.6 it doesn't work at all (also tried with modified bios to have full raid functionality). So if you're running both FSB and memory @166mhz, you can't boot with ultra or fast (I haven't tried ultra, since fast always gives me the best perfomance).
Ah! And I can choose ultra or fast with FSB @ 133 and Mem @ 166.

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 & GeForce 3 TI200

A little prob:
When I run my GF3 in AGP mode, all my games hang after playing 1 min. Then when I change the "Via Tech CPU to AGP-controller" to "PCI standard PCI to PCI brigde" thereby running my GF3 in PCI-mode everything runs fine. Then I went into "dxdiag" and saw that "Acceleration of AGP-struktur" was not availble. So I was thinking, am I looseing enything by running the GF3 in PCI-mode and is it the MSI or the GF3 that is causeing this problem.
I have tried all the VIA 4in1 drivers and they did not help.
My specs:
MSI KT3 Ultra ARU
Athlon XP 1900+
Palite Daytona Geforce 3 TI200
Windows XP pro

i have the kt3 ultra with a geforce 3 ti200 and it runs flawless.. i use the det 30.30 drivers. one thing i noticed with geforce 3 cards is if i have my agp apperature set to anything but 128 games will freeze and get all kinds off lock ups. if i were you i would look around this forum for the bios setup guide for the kt3 ultra! and set your bios according to that guide
if you cant find it here goto http://www.amdmb.com and go to the msi forum there and the set up guide is there
hopefully that helps!!!!

Anyone using BlueTooth with MSI KT3 Ultra-Aru?

Has anyone setup BlueTooth PC to PC network with the MSI KT3 Ultra-Aru?
Where can one get the transmitter? (assuming it works)

Hi,
I have a KT3 Ultra ARU too, and I understand that if you use the onboard Bluetooth connection you must not use the USB connection under the blue sticker at the same time.
I think it's because the onboard Bluetooth connection and the USB connection under the sticker use the same adress (IRQ). So as long as you have no Bluetooth, like me, you can use the 4 USB connections. If you use Bluetooth connection on board, do not use the USB connection under the sticker (the left one seen from backside of your PC).
If you use an external Bluetooth it's not a problem with your 4 USB connections.
