Will MSI KT3Ultra 2 with 5.7 BIOS work with Athlon XP-M Mobile???

Hi I have 1600+ and KT3Ultra 2 with the latest possible bios which accepts Barton CPUs.  I am thinking of either getting a Barton 2500/2600+ or the amazingly unlocked and highly overclockable Mobile barton 2400/2500+.
Will this work on my KT3Ultra2 board?  If not is there a mod to the chip to make it recognizable as a desktop cpu?  I am really thinking of getting Abit NF7 v2.0 and the mobile chip if the MSI board doesnt unlock the multipliers or doesnt support the mobile cpu.  Also I've ran the board for up to 166FSB and I dont know how high KT3Ultra2 will take me since it doesnt have PCI/AGP lock so I am wondering how high i can adjust the multiplier on the 'unlocked' cpu to compensate for the low 166fsb maximum to achieve the overclock.
Any thoughts/comments would be greatly appreciated.

equalizr
your not likley to get a faster fsb due to the divider
but you can still pin mod it to a higher multiplier

best bets pick socket view
then put in what ever multipler you want

  • Will MSI Z87 MPOWER Motherboard boot into Bios with Devils Canyon?

    Hey guys !
    I decided to take the plunge and update to a Devils Canyon i5 4690k and purchased a MSI Z87 MPOWER motherboard which was on special. I know I need to update the bios for this cpu.
    I forgot to check something crucial !
    Will i be able to boot into UEFI Bios and update the Bios with this CPU ???? I have only used ASUS Mobo's and they have the bios flashback feature. I'm worried i'll have this great mobo and cpu and not be able to update !!! I don't have a standard haswell cpu to use just to update the bios to support Devils Canyon.
    Could someone confirm if it will boot allowing me to update via the MSI Bios flash method.
    I still have time to cancel the order if need be.
    Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Not quite automatically. It will recognise the CPU but may not properly work or boot. You can try booting into Windows/other OS, but you might need to update BIOS.
    Once you have the updated BIOS prepared on the USB stick, you just boot from the USB stick and it will give you some instructions etc to follow, and that's all about updating.
    As last resort if it won't let you do it, you can take motherboard to some PC repair center where they have SPI programming tool and they'll update BIOS even without the CPU inside

  • Msi K8N Neo with Athlon 64 3200

    I just recieved the parts today 1x Msi K8N Neo Mobo and 64 3200 procesor, so far ive only been running it a few hours and allready i have had a lot of problems with it, first off the temp of my cpu is at 64oc when idol, and about 72oc on full load, I have the Coolermaster Hyper6 KHC-V81 heatsink with 2 mounted fans, and im sure thats more then enough to cool any proccessor?? Next up after restarting the computer the mouse/keyboard do not work when you get back into windows. i have no idea why tried all sorts of problems such as reinstalling drivers, Next up the board reads the default clock speed at 2.2ghz, am i wrong but isnt it meant to be 2.0ghz, both in bios and windows, it also says that my cpu has 512kb l2 cache when it is meant to have 1mb.
    Needless to say i am not a happy bunny  
    if any1 has any ideas on what could be causing this please let me know as soon as possible before i throw my rig out the window
    P.s The multiplier is on defualt, but it is 11x, isnt it soposed to be 200X 10??

    As with the K8T800 board, MS products have been a thorn in the side. Try some cheap-o mouse and keyboard until you get your system stabilized. Make sure your BIOS settings accept OS2 and Plug 'n Play...turn off legacy support. Make note of all BIOS settings and which ones are enabled/disabled.....'cause we will be looking for your assistance on a lot of initial boot-up questions! Thanks very much =DNA=

  • Setting up MSI 745 Ultra with Athlon xp

    Hi I'm trying to set up my cpu and motherboard. I have
    Athlon xp 1800+
    MSI 745 Ultra motherboard
    40gb Maxtor HD
    256 DDR333
    Inno3d Geforce 4 mx440
    Win XP pro
    I set my FSB to 133 so it's 266 and set ratio so that ram is 333. When I save and reset computer the settings go back to default fsb speed but XP crashes all the time.
    If I switch off the computer and then back on again (instead of reset) a message says incorrect ram frequency even though it is 333 ram.
    Someone said I need to set my IRQ list, but isn't this done automatically? Does anyone know what settings I should put in the bios, I'm using the latest update...
    Also bios and XP says my cpu is 'mobile amd 4' not 'xp'. I have right cpu as I have checked part number
    Thanks

    Go to this msi forum a lot of info for the msi 745ultra
    1 thing go back to the 1.3 bios the 1.4 sucks big time

  • MSI K9N4 SLI with Athlon X2 6000+

    I just built a new systems with this motherboard and processor with 2Gb Geil DDR2 800 memory. For some reason the CPU performance is terrible. The WEI (with all of its limitations) is only 4.5 so I when and checked the Sandra score and it benchmarks < an X2 4200. I have stock optimum BIOS settings.
    What am I doing wrong? 

    I just migrated from to a new motherboard and processor. The old motherboard was a socket 939 EVGA SLI microATX motherboard with a FX-55. The Windows vista recognized the motherboard change and I reinstalled the Nvidia chipset drivers. It seemingly came off without a glitch.
    I wonder how the upgrade would have resulted in poor processor performance. The Sandra benchmarks seem to confirm the problem.

  • K8T Neo-FIS2R with Athlon 64 4000+ mobile CPU

    Doing some research on the net, I found out recently that the older mobile CPUs differ from desktop ones just by the lack of a heat spreader on top of the core. And I read up about many successful updates from ppl using the mobile CPU on the desktop socket 754 boards. This is for my 2nd system listed in my sig below - the  K8T Neo-FIS2R. I found a pretty good deal on the Newark CPU AMN4000BKX5BU recently (4000+). I took my existing 3000+ CPU out and I separated the heat-spreader from it. Underneath it's almost identical, except the core is a few mm larger than the mobile CPU. I mounted the heat spreader on the 4000+ CPU and made sure the core has good contact with the heat-spreader (checked the thermal paste imprint). Mounted the CPU in and the board powers on but doesn't POST. I then put my 3000+ in and works just fine. I repeated this 3 times, and just couldn't get the 4000+ to be recognized by the mobo. I thought the CPU may be bad, but it comes from a good source, so even though it's still a possibility, I started doing more research. And then I realized that I forgot to change the core voltage in BIOS from 1.5 to AUTO. The mobile CPU is rated for 1.35v. Do you think this is what affected it? Or is it because I'm on BIOS v.1.9 ? Latest BIOS is 7.1, but all versions passed 1.9 only introduced compatibility with Sempron CPUs (which I'm not using) and it limited DDR recognition to 333 only. I'm using DDR400 which is running well at 200MHz. All higher BIOS levels don't allow to run it in stock speed at higher than 166MHz. So that's why I wanted to keep the v.1.9.
    Any ideas why the 4000+ CPU wouldn't be recognized by this board?
    Thanks in advance!

    I'm making some headway, but in effect, I temporarily hindered this system more than it was I got the CPU to finally work, but it only recognizes 1/4 of the memory I used to have... here are the details:
    I upgraded BIOS to the latest 7.1 and the installed 4000+ CPU didn't allow the system to POST neither. I then cleared the CMOS and just for good measure removed 1 of my memory sticks (I had 2x1GB, as listed in my sig for the lower system). Then the old faithful came to life again After making more test I noticed that no matter what I do, whether I use DDR400 or DDR333 sticks (I also have those in 2x1GB), the only way it works is with a single stick in DIMM1. In manual, the configurations show that that memory can be inserted in different DIMM sockets, not necessarily the 1st one, but in my case, no other setup works than a single stick in DIMM1. As I mentioned earlier, BIOS versions above 1.9 (I checked them all in the past) don't allow DDR400 to run at 200MHz, but only at 166. Also, ver.7.1 reports CPU temperature incorrectly, about 10 degrees Celcius lower than it actually is. I actually noticed that in the past with my other CPU, too. Since nothing else could be accomplished here, I decided to go back to BIOS v.1.9. But the situation relating to RAM didn't change. It still only functions fine with a single stick in DIMM1.
    I also tried resetting CMOS several times at different occasions, and when reset in ver.7.1 it would POST with 2 sticks of RAM in, but after loading BIOS settings, it would work fine (only as far as POSTs, because I never booted to OS during these tests) and would restart fine as long as it wasn't completely shut down. Once it was shut down, it wouldn't POST again.
    In ver.7.1, the CPU was recognized by BIOS correctly as 4000+, however back at ver.1.9 BIOS recognizes it as 4200+ (something that doesn't exist for socket 754, AFAIK). However, the DDR400 is again working at 200MHz and the CPU core temp is reported correctly.
    In ver.1.9 the CPU voltage when set to AUTO would run at about 0.9v, which might've been causing no POSTs until CMOS was reset. I manually lowered it to the minimal setting possible of 1.4v. It is rated at 1.35v and now is reported to run at 1.38v and still much cooler than my older desktop CPU 3000+. From what I read, AMD was doing binning on the mobile athlons, so I'm sure all of them can work fine even at 1.5v or higher, if needed.
    Anyway, I temporarily gave up and decided to wait for some golden thoughts from you guys (or MSI Support, whom I also contacted about this, but it'll be a miracle if they respond with some help). Then I booted up into Windows, and even though CPU-Z recognizes the single stick of 1GB RAM I left there, Windows only reports it as 512MB. Also, CPU-Z reports the CPU in one spot as 4000+ and then in another (a little below) as 4200+. I guess the multiplier of x13 causes the confusion? Could that also be the reason for not recognizing more memory? I also tried lowering the HT Link in BIOS to 200 and 600MHz and that didn't help as far as allowing to use the 2nd stick of RAM. Please check the below screenshots for more details.
    Thanks

  • What to do with bricked motherboard? MSI P67A-G45 AFTER FLASHING LAST BIOS

    I flashed MSI P67A-G45 by the last BIOS for IB CPU. The flashing goes twice with intermediate reset. Before I flashed P67A-C43 by the same version from MSI, and all was Ok.
    I flashed new BIOS from version 1I under DOS mode. There was a problem with pen drive and I used hard disk without USB pen drive. That was my error. The exe file started and flashed BIOS  normally and then after reset started flashing Intel ME firmware. I thought all is going ok and the image is taken from HDD. But after the process finished and motherboard reset, it didn't start at all. The fan starts and stops, LED blinks and motherboard behaves the same way even without CPU. What can I do? Is there any way, suppose, using a EEPROM writer? I have one and I can take the BIOS chip off and flash by old version of BIOS. What can You advise? Maybe the second flash process writes another chip - can You tell me about it. Please advise how to manage this problem.
    I received no help from support. I'm not a novice - I work in repair center and have soldering station etc. Can You explain me anything about second flashing process? I need only information and I will be able to manage th :lol_anim:is problem.

  • Will MSI come with a GTX 780 TwinFrozer ?

    As the title says!

    Quote from: flobelix on 07-June-13, 01:49:13
    GTX780 Gaming hasn't been out or announced at the time the topic started. None the less it is still not released so far.
    Currently N780-3GD5 remains the only available GTX780 card. Because of the way higher stock clockrates I'd wait for the Gaming version.
    It will be available in a few days.
    http://new.msi.com/computex/2013/products_vga02.htm
    But the question was "Will MSI come with a GTX 780 TwinFrozer ?".
    And the answer is YES.
    p.s.
    We already have a MSI GTX 780 Lightning around here.

  • Overclock MSI Eclipse Plus with Intel Core i7 920

    Hi,
    I need help on how to overclock MSI Eclipse Plus with Intel Core i7 920?
    Here are my system spec.

    Antec Quattro 850W PSU
    Corsair TR3X6G1600C9

    With a stock Intel CPU cooler, I don't recommend going past what default voltages can achieve, excluding maybe a memory voltage increase or timings adjustment if needed. Some utilities are very important to have before starting to OC such as Real Temp & CPU-Z. What are your CPU & IOH temps reading in bios H/W Monitor? The temps of the individual cores is also very important, which Real Temp will provide you with.
    As mentioned, with a stock cooler, I would suggest not going past about 3.507 (bclk 167 X 21). Other settings need to be changed before this is done however. We need those temps too, before specific settings can be suggested. The last thing any of us want to do, is make settings changes & voltage recommendations that may damage your system. 

  • MOVED: MSI 8800GTX and 8800GTX OC -- Change bios?

    This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=105694.0

    Totally agree with what the guys have said.
    The only way you could want to update with a different BIOS for such a trivial task is to convince yourself that you got the best card.
    Probably, If I were one of those guys that bought the OC version, I'm sure I will do the opposite, and put a BIOS that goes to stock.
    I already lost 2 products that came OC (BFG and XFX) and I've learn that companies sometimes know as much as we do and they release OC products and they just OC the product as we do, not special treat, so, sometimes, they tend to live a shorter life, exactly like it happens with us.
    I would not buy any product that says OC in their box, it's risky, the manufacturer is risking an RMA and really, there is no need, for something that you could do for yourself.

  • MSI Gt60 2OD black screen after bios update

    I decided to update the bios for my msi gt60 2OD gamer notebook. Downloaded the AHCI bios file from msi notebook site then flashed the bios inside Windows 8 x64 using a bios flasher DOS tool that came inside the folder of the bios downloaded from msi site. The flash done ok in windows 8, the DOS flashing tool showed done ok in all steps of the flashing  I restarted the notebook hit Del enter the bios press F9 for optimal settings then chose exit saving changes then restarted the notebook.  After the restart my notebook olny shows black screen. Does not boot, does not show msi logo and i am not able to enter the bios hitting DEL. The notebook turns on with all lights when i press the power button but olny show black screen.  Help me to fix and recover my notebook

    I went to this page
    MSI Global GT60 2OD
    I did download the file w8_E16F4IMS.50E.zip AHCI Bios then flashed the bios file using the flash utility afuwinx64.exe provided in the folder. I typed at the DOS command window inside windows 8 x64 the command afuwinx64.exe E16F4IMS50E after that the fans of notebook made noise and at the DOS window showed OK DONE for all steps of flashing. Then i shut down windows 8 . Power the notebook hit del enter the New flashed bios hit f9 for optimal settings then  save changes and restart. After the restart black screen. What did i made wrong?
    You need to use included "FLASHWIN.BAT" [which contain all required parameters] to flash it,
    else your notebook will be bricked.

  • MSI Z77 - Detects harddrive ONLY in BIOS. Not in Win 7 installation

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem with my mainboard. I'm running a MSI Z77 and with a Intel 520 series 120GB. I'm using the SATA1 and it does recognize it but ONLY in BIOS. When i'm trying to install it on Windows 7, the SSD drive doesn't show up. So i figured that i try testing with a normal SATA drive that have been working before, and that wasn't working too. I've tried to test everything, so now this is the last call for me or i will return the motherboard for a new one. And i hope i doesn't have too... Does anyone know what this is?
    Thank you!

    Try placing the IRST AHCI drivers on the usb stick with your usb installation and hit f6 to load the drivers.
    You are sure you have this installed onto sata 1 or 2 and not 7 or 8 right?
    If it is on 7 or 8 you will need to install the AS Media Sata Driver.
    http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z77A-GD65.html#/?div=Driver&os=Win7%2064
    Yes, i'm sure that i installed this onto SATA1 and 2. BTW: i've using MSI Z77 MPOWER. I saw that i didn't write that before.
    When do i hit f6? I think you'll have to write very clearly for me, because i'm a beginner.

  • MSI P6N Diamond and very slow BIOS menus

    I'm having problems with my new setup. My setup is as follows:
    MSI P6N Diamond with 1.1 bios update
    2 x OCZ Platinum Revision 2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ2P800R22GK
    XION Supernova XON 600W Power Supply
    Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (not overclocked yet, having problems whenever I change settings)
    EVGA  GeForce 8800GTS 640MB Video Card
    I'm running Vista 32bit fine as far as I can tell, everything is pretty snappy and other programs are running fine, but the machine is very slow to post and running the bios menus is a painful process as it takes about 2-4 seconds to switch selections. I tried running the board with 1 stick of ram in slot 1, with slots 1 & 3 and all 4 and it made no difference. I had a USB card reader plugged in and then removing it seemed to make a difference for a while, the BIOS menus ran as I expected, very snappy. Also anytime I switch the CPU clock from automatic to manual the computer won't post and i have to reset the bios
    Anyone have a clue what could be causing this slowness and my inability to overclock the cpu?

    I will be getting the Q6600 in 1 week, :D.  The new G0 stepping as well :D. I'm excited.
    Are you using XP or Vista? I have had no distortion or pops with my sound.  Although, from what I hear the drivers for XP or much more polished than those for Vista.  This is a Creative issue, and not an MSI issue.  Lots of people are having problems with Vista with the standalone Creative cards as well.
    I overclocked my E6700 to about 3.5Ghz, and hit a temp wall based on my ambient temps.  I probably could have gone higher if it was cooler in the room that houses the computer.  Although, the temps have dropped dramatically after the AS5 has cured, probably could get it pushed up a bit higher.  Hopefully I don't have problems with it when the Q6600 comes in. 
    If you got the older B3 stepping version, it will run a bit hotter and will be much harder to OC to higher speeds because of this.  I've found the P6N Diamond to be very OC friendly and like all the options it gives.  The only thing I don't like is the adjustment of the Vcore lists the # above stock, instead of the absolute #. Sometimes the Vcore it auto assigns isn't 100% correct I've heard so it'd be nice to know what that auto value is.  The Vcore reading you can read in the monitor section fluctuates a hair in each direction of 1.3 for me when at stock, so I assume it was 1.3 stock.
