Wots the deualt vcore fot the barton 3000+

i have stopped using an oc and set every thing back to default.
i have noticed that my vcore is now 1.850 im pretty sure on my old board it was 1.65 or somthing lower than 1.85 wots up with this.
i never actually checked the defualt core on this board any one else have this problem wot would have caused it if its not a bios fault.
it says 1.85 vcore in bios hardware monitor and in core center  
 when are they going to fix the bios for this crap delta2 board.

unless you're overclocking, you really don't need anything higher than that.
[as a sidenote; my XPM 2600+ can pull 3200+ 400FSB at 1.45v, but ze crappy delta2-lsr mobo don't let me set the volts that low ]
Go in PC health in bios and check, my bet is your not running 1.45v since the board does not go that low it will overvolt it to the lowest setting.  My guess is its running around 1.55v.
I got my mobile 200X11.5 at 1.625v

  • KT3 Ultra 2R + Barton 3000+

    Hi all..
    Hope someone can help.
    I have a KT3 Ultra 2R board with the following stats:
    Athlon XP (Barton) 3000+ FSB 166 CPU
    CoolerMaster HHC-001 heatpipe H/sink with 80mm fan
    Antec 520W PSU
    2 x 100 ATA Maxtor Viper 80Gb HDD's with 8Mb cache each in striped RAID array
    Asus TI 4600 Ultra 128Mb V/card
    Audigy S/card
    Lite-on CD/RW
    Lite-on CD/DVD
    2 x 512Mb Corsair XMS 3000 DDR Ram (333 and above) with aluminium heat spreaders
    Lian-Li PC70 Tower case with 6 x 80mm fans
    Rounded cables throughout
    Win XP + SP1
    The Problem:
    This system worked fine with an Athlon XP 2200 CPU and I read MSI's CPU support list and saw the KT3 Ultra 2 6380E supported the Barton XP 3000+ CPU's so I bought one.  :P
    At first I had trouble booting on the 5.7 version bios, with the lock ups throught the bootup process. I reset the bois to the defaults and slowly worked up the settings using the recommendations in the forums.
    At the moment, the system will boot up with fast command set to normal, no agressive DDR timings, 1T command disabled, fastwrite disabled, agp read/write disabled and SDRAM set to SPD (HCLK).
    My 3DMark01 & 3DMark03 scores are lower than when I had the XP 2200 CPU installed and the SiSoft sandra results are the equivalent of a Athlon 2000. MSI says the board supports the Barton 3000+, but at what cost ???  :O
    The system is very unstable and and requires on average 3 boots to boot up successfully. The 3DMark03 test often locks up mid way.
    Any help or the settings MSI or you used to achieve their results would be VERY helpful. Please Help... ;(

    I have had a similar problem running my kt3 ultra2 (non raid) at 166 fsb. In mid april I bought a 2600+ 166 fsb athlon to upgrade my system from a 1.2 ghz athlon. I bought some new pc2700 crucial ram to go along with the processor. I had also recently bought a radeon 9700 pro in late march, and a 1.2 athlon would just be a waste of this great vid card. I had been running fine with the radeon and the 1.2 athlon with the msi 5.7 bios and 4.43 via 4-in-1's.
    I battled this problem for weeks. I bought a new antec 550 watt PSU, corsair xms 3200 ram, and new antec tower case trying to find out if the problem was ram, power or heat. I should also note that turning on spread spectrum helped a little in stability. Setting it to .50% made it stable in windows and games, but the computer would not turn on if shutdown unless I cleared the cmos. No setting besides this had any effect on stability. Even conservative ram timings. I was about to buy an Asus a7n8x when I realized that I had once run my old cpu and ram at 166 fsb when I had the 5.6 bios a couple of months back. I did not keep it like that in fear of damaging the ram while overclocked.
    So I reflashed to 5.6 which still supported the 2600+. That finally worked almost perfectly, although I still have to keep spread spectrum at .25% to be stable (which is odd, people say that is supposed to hurt stability). So in my situation, it was the bios that was faulty. I have had some very ramdom crashes to the desktop (3 of them) in games and one hardlock with a blank bluescreen in unreal2. This is over a span of a month. So it is not perfect. It might be the display drivers causing this, which I have recently upgraded, or I might need to back off my ram timings which are at 2-2-2-5 which this ram can handle easily at 166. 3dmark has yet to crash. Prime 95 passed when I ran it for 30 minutes. Im going to run prime 95 today and see if it will run for like 12 hours stable. Im still looking into getting a new nforce 2 mobo, however (abit or asus).
    I hope this helps your situation, you should give it a try. Although, the 5.6 bios does not support the 3000+. It might still work, it will maybe just not show up as a 3000+ in the bios, but as a 2.17 Athlon XP.
    I think MSI should be made aware of this possible 5.7 bios fsb instability. Why spread spectrum seems to be related in my situation, is really odd also.

  • K7N2G-ILSR MS-6570 barton 3000 support?

    I'm just about to buy a new system with the K7N2G-ILSR, and i'd like to know if it supports the barton 3000.
    The specs of the new computer are as follows:
    2x samsung 512DDR 2700 Ram
    Sapphire Radeon 9800pro
    Barton xp3000
    Noise Control Copper heaven HS

    Asus DVDx16 / CDx48, E616, IDE100
    WinXP home
    Any suggestions to changes to the above are appreciatet.
    Thanks

    According to MSI's CPU support page the K7N2G-ILSR does officially support the XP3000+ Barton with 333Mhz FSB but not 400Mhz FSB. If 400Mhz FSB support is important to you you may want to consider as an alternative the K7N2 Delta-ILSR which should be available shortly (end of the month?). Details here of CPU support:-

  • How to use the FP 3000 with windows XP?

    Hi to all,
    Actually I have a problem using My FP-3000 nifbus with a windows xp proffetional station.
    previously I was using it with nifbus configurator and communication manager, both of version 2.3 and then I upgraded to 2.3.6 (using windows 2000) and now I am trying to use it with windows xp, but the configurator does not communicate with fp-3000 and it doesn't show any function blocks.
    I started by installing the 2.3 configurator and manager, but the PCMCIA fbus/2 card that I'm using was not recognised by windows.
    so I upgraded to 2.3.6, the pcmcia card was now recognised by windows but the communication manager kept giving a communication error.
    so I installed the communication manager version 3.0, which started successfu
    lly and the configurator started but the fp-3000 was not present.
    I tried updating the firmware, but the upgrade.exe did not disfunctioned and gave strange module names in the window, and it did not download the firmware.
    I also tried resetting the fp-3000 but still no luck.
    so any one can tell me what software and what versions should I use to overcome this problem?

    It sounds like a problem of advanced network parameter settings.
    You can start "Interface Configuration Utility", choose the port and select "Edit", then choose "Advanced..." button to have "Advanced Stack Configuration" dialog.
    Change values to:
    T1 0x40000,
    T2 0x40000,
    T3 0x30000,
    Slot Time 5
    Click OK to close "Interface Configuration Utility", and run NI-FBUS CM or Configurator to check whether it helps.
    If you have 3.0 or 3.1 version, you just choose the "Old Default" button to set the values automatically.

    You can use it to translate OID into object name or object name into OID to receive object details.

  • I am losing communication to the FP-3000 every few days.

    I am communicating to the FP-3000 via OPC. Every few days I lose communication to the FP-3000. The ready light has turned off. Rebooting the unit corrects the problem. Does anyone have any ideas?

    It sounds like the problem of I/O module. Make sure the I/O module is firmly seated, the terminal base is firmly attached to the terminal base on its left.
    You may look for bent pins on the bottom of the module or between terminal bases (don't forget power down the bank before removing terminal bases).
    You can also send e-mail to "[email protected]" for further support.

  • K8MM-V and the sempron 3000+

    Hi,
    Has anyone put the K8MM-V and the sempron 3000+ 64bit architecture  together, are they ok.?
    From the way MSI word what a mo/bo supports, I'm wondering if I cannot use this cpu. They write it as thought the Athlon range starts from 2800+ and the sempron range support starts from 3100+. Or is it me just being daft??!!!! .  MMMM Need a Bud, that will make it clear.
    CPU
    • Supports 64-bit AMD® Athlon™ 64 & Sempron processor (Socket 754)
    • Athlon 64: 2800+ ~ 3700+, Sempron 3100+
    Sorry for a daft question,   I just want to make sure before I buy.
    Thanks

    K8MM-V is Via chipset board, so i'll move it to the right area
    check the CPU support list, its on there

  • Lack of Ghz KT3 Ultra2 Barton 3000+

    Dont want to sound like a broken record but I aswell am having problems with my newly purchased Barton 3000+ (400 fsb) with my MSI KT3 Ultra2. The problem is that whenever I try to set the FSB to the correct level, the computer fails to boot and I have to jump the cmos. I updated my bios to ver 5.7, and the highest i can get is to a 2400+
    Two possible reasons I think are I have a Thermaltake Volcano 8 (which i believe isnt up to par) and my powersupply is a bit below the specs in the troubleshooting faq: L&C brand PSU +3.3V/24A  +5V/35A  +12V/12A.  However I'm reluctant to go buy replacement parts because I've read of the people who did and it didnt help (limited budget.)
    I've tried flashing with 3 different versions of 5.7 drivers, and even gave the 5.6 a go (highest i could get was 2200+) The highest I could get the FSB is to 199, but as soon as i try for 200 it zonks out on me. I've got 768 megs of no name ram that has served me well, and so thats not the problem... (hope not) I've also read a buncho topics and tried various things from them.
    If I missed anything lemme know....
    Oh while I'm here, my computer likes to restart itself whenever I tell it to shutdown. Sometimes it does stay off, usually when not running for very long. On occasion (not very often) It will come on on its own accord, which kinda concerns me

    I don't know for sure, but aren't there two different types of Barton's being sold. One with a FSB 333 and one with 400 ?
    So I think you will have to get the other type in order to get it working, since the mobo does only support FSB up to 333 MHz.
    Maybe you can just replace the CPU where you bought it ?

  • BIOS Settings Problem on KT3 Ultra2 MS-6380E with Barton 3000+(FSB333)

    Well, I finally got my Barton 3000+ with 333 MHz FSB and installed it yesterday in my MSI KT3 Ultra2 Mainboard....
    System Before changing anything:
    PSU: DTK  400 W
    +3.3 V / 22 A
    +5 V / 35 A
    +12 V / 15 A
    -5 V / 0.5 A
    -12 V / 0.8 A
    +5 V VSB / 3 A
    So that should make up 400 W as far as I know, my total System drain should be around 300-350 W so even if it would not suffice 400 W it should run the system ?
    Mainboard: KT3 Ultra 2 (BIOS v5.7)
    CPU: AMD XP 2100 FSB 133 MHz
    RAM: 1.536 MB, 3x512 MB Infineon PC3200 (400MHz) CL 3-3-3-8 @400MHz, Cl2.5-3-3-7@333Mhz, 2-2-2-6@266MHz
    VGA: MSI RX-9800 Pro 128 MB
    DVD/CD-R/RW-Combo: Plextor PX-708 (Firmware 1.08)
    CD-R/RW: TEAC CD-W540E (Firmware 1.0K)
    Storage: Western Digital WD800BB (80 GB) (Firmware 17.07W17)
    USB-Storage: Maxtor 4 K080 H4 (80 GB)
    Monitor: Samsung Syncmaster 172T with Driver Version 1.0
    Printer: HP Deskjet 970Cxi with Original HP Driver Version 4.3
    OS: Windows 2000 Professional with Service Pack 4
    BIOS Settings: SDRAM 1T Command: "Disabled" It won't work stable with 3 RAM's in it with that setting, but that I did know before.
    CPU Fast Command: "Ultra"
    System was running stable for nearly 2 years with this Configuration:
    So now it goes:
    First I changed the CPU form my old AMD XP 2100+ to the new Barton 3000 + with its new Arctic Cool Copper Silent 2TC.
    Then I went into BIOS and raised the FSB to 166 MHz, which should be the correct one, or do I have to put 167 MHz in there (since 166.666666 MHz is rounded to 167)?
    Then I exited and watched the restart...but it didn't start-up it only got me 3 long beeps at the HOST.
    After some whining and beating I plugged out anything and cleared CMOS and started the whole thing again:
    System after Clearing CMOS:
    Mainboard: KT3 Ultra 2 (BIOS v5.7)
    CPU: AMD XP 3000+  FSB 100 MHz
    RAM: 1x512 MB Infineon PC3200 CL 2-3-3-7 (BIOS setting CAS Latency by "SPD")
    Storage: Western Digital WD800BB (80 GB) (Firmware 17.07W17)
    Monitor: Samsung Syncmaster 172T with Driver Version 1.0
    OS: Windows 2000 Professional with Service Pack 4
    With all Default settings, the Computer boots up, and is correctly Recognized as a Barton 1300 MHz.
    When increasing FSB to 133 MHz it is correctly displayed as a Barton 2200+
    NOW...
    ...after adding one BIOS setting after another I narrowed the problem down to the "CPU Fast Command (decode)" Function...if set to Ultra it does not boot-up when running 166 MHz FSB, it does not even let me into BIOS. I have to clear CMOS and restart from scratch again...
    Is this normal and expectable with a Barton 3000+ running at the native 166 MHz FSB or not ?
    Since my system before was running on "Ultra" with my old AMD XP 2100+.
    There is only one more thing I noticed, the CPU V-Core is shown to be only 1.616 V (setting on "Auto" but it should be 1.65 V ? Should I increase the V-Core to 1.675 V in order to get closer to 1.65 V or shouldn't I worry about ?
    Thanks for any Input you can give me on the problem.

    This setting can be set to fast/ultra on the KT3 Ultra2 when using PC2100 ram running at 266. However, when using PC2700 ram running at 333, this setting MUST be set to normal for the satisfactory operation of the board. I know that you have PC3200 ram actually installed but it is only running at 333.

    How are you measuring this ie Bios or o/s utility? Not unknown that these are incorrect. However, if you feel unhappy about this, try setting the V-core manually to 1.65v and check what this gives.
    Quote
    So 3.3 V x 22 A gives 72.6 W, that could be really a little cutting the edge. Could that cause the board to not respond when setting the "CPU Fast Command" to "Ultra" ?
    Getting a more powerful psu will not likely cure this well documented problem.
    However, this board mostly draws power from the 3.3 & 5v rails. The 12v is mostly used to power HDD, optical and fans. When you consider that 128Mb of ram draws about 8-10w from the 5v rail and you have a total of 1.5Gb that adds up to 96-120W of juice just for the memory alone. This board will beep at you at o/s level when it's running underpowered but my opinion is the same as osnavi's your 3.3v & 5v rails are too low. Also what is combined 3.3v & 5v wattage. What kind of reading do you get on monitoring utilities.
    By the way I have as you can see from my dets below the same board and cpu as you and when I changed from a XP2000 Palomino with PC2100 ram to XP3000 Barton and PC3200, I changed the 'Fast Command' setting from 'Fast' to 'Normal'
    Hope this helps, enjoy the board

  • KT6 & Barton 3000+ - report wrong cpu?

    Hi,
    bit of weird system error i've never come across before,  i've just installed the following kit
    KT600
    AMD 3000+ Barton (166 Mhz) with Volcano 7+ cooler
    2 x 1 Gig PC2700 Crucial RAM
    Sapphire x800pro Radeon card
    M-Audio Delta 66 sound card
    1 x 60 Gig Seagate Barracuda HD (Pri Master)
    1 x 20 Gig IBM Deskstar HD (Sec Master)
    1 x pioneer dvd-r burner (sec slave)
    350W PSU Antec SL350P - comes standard in the LANboy case i have.
    Fresh install of Windows XP with sp2, and latest drivers/bios updates for everything.
    Anyway, the system runs fine and then i get an unexpected crash/lock up in windows - not easy to reproduce at the moment, but can usually make it happen once out of every three sessions. But when the system reboots it reports the processor as Duron, 2167 Mhz on the start up screens. All soft resets will do the same until i hard reset with a power off and it then reports the XP 3000+ as normal.
    any ideas?
    thanks,
    Mitch

    Yes, the Antec SL350 is not powerful enough for everything you have in that system.
    16A @ 12V is not enough for a 3000+, 2Gb of RAM and a X800.
    Antec PSU's are great quality, but you are overloading that 350W, which leads to the lockups/crashes.
    For your system, a better PSU, with 20A or more a 12V is needed.
    Also, many times a RAM voltage increase is needed to run large sticks of RAM, 512Mb and over.
    Try running memtest to check for RAM errors.

  • [KT3 Ultra2-R / PSU] Upgrading to Barton 3000+

    Hi!
    I'm thinking about upgrading from my 2200+ to a Barton 3000+ chip. Is there any problems with this? Is my PSU good enough to handle the upgrade?
    My PSU is Antec TruePower 380P (+5V: 35A, +12V: 18A, +3.3V: 28A).
    After the upgrade my computer's specs would be:
    MSI KT3 Ultra2-R
    AMD Athlon Barton 3000+
    2x512mb Kingston ValueRAM
    GeForce4 Ti4600
    80gb Western Digital HDD + 40gb Seagate HDD
    CD-RW drive
    SB Audigy
    3 case fans
    How about if I add a third 512mb DIMM, a 80gb HDD and change the GF4 to a Radeon 9800? Would the PSU still be good enough?
    Thanks in advance!

  • KT3 ultra2 with amd barton 3000+ problems

    Ok so I upgraded from a 1800+ to a barton 3000+, and im having problems running the chip. Iv set the fsb to 166, the ram to HCLK, tried running with just one stick, it runs for about 5min then restarts. Any ideas?
    System specs

    Well if you purchased an Athlon XP 3000+ which is a 400mhz chip and are trying to run it at 333mhz instead of 400mhz that might be the issue aside from the fact that the KT3 Ultra2 does not support that chip so it could also be a bios issue.
    I retract a little of that.  There is an Athlon XP 3000+ 333mhz chip.  But are you sure this is what you obtained?  If not that is your problem.

  • MSI KT4V and Barton 3000+ crash problem

    Hi all!
    I recently upgraded my PC (MSI KT4V) with an AMD Barton 3000+ CPU. Before I had a 2600+ Throughbred.
    With my old 2600+ I could run my system stable with a FSB set at 166. It couldn't go much higher that 175 before the system became unstable.
    With my new Barton I have a problem :
    With my FSB set at 166 games like Far Cry and COD crashes. Explorer crashed at sites with Flash content (flash.ocx error report) otherwise no problems. My Pinnacle studio 7 program couldn't render playable movies.
    After I underclocked my CPU, setting the FSB at 154 giving me a total speed of 2GHz, all problems are gone now  
    My system reports a CPU temp at 48 degrees celsius at a 166 FSB setting but could it be a cooling problem anyway?
    I have used Artic Silver as thermal paste on the CPU die.
    I have reset my memory timings to CAS 2,5 even though the Corsair RAM supports CAS 2 to get the most stable system.
    Is the KT 400 chipset up for the job with the increased speed?
    I would like to get the most performance out of my new Barton so I hope that some of you guys can help me out here.
    My system spec is :
    Win XP SP1 and SP2
    CPU : AMD Barton XP 3000+
    Motherboard : MSI KT4V (Bios 1C0)
    Soundcard : SB Audigy 2
    Graphics card : Radeon 9800pro 256
    Memory : 1GB Corsair XMS (CAS 2)
    Power suply : Antec 480W
    All latest drivers installed
    Best Regards
    Basse

    Hi Osnavi!
    48 degrees is an idle temp and about 51 stressed.
    The processor is an Athlon 3000+ 333MHz
    The cooler is a Thermaltake Silent Boost
    I have 2 modules 512 MB Corsair XMS PC 2700 333MHz placed in slot 1 and 3
    I forgot to tell that I ran memtest386 with the fsb set at 166 and I had error reports on the 128Kb L1 cache right away. Lowering the fsb to 154, the memtest came out alright.
    Should I remove the heatsink and reaply cooling paste - silver-free maybe?
    Strange  
    Any ideas are welcome
    Best regards

  • Barton 3000

    I have been running the Barton for about a month now,
    system stable as can be, installed and runs like a dream.
    All my benches went up obviously, system very cool but that may be a lie as I am using Bios 3.4, looks good though.
    I have a backup SLK 800 ready to go in at moments notice, not convinced I need to mess with now though.
    I have not done the wire trick but upped to fsb to 175, no bigge with stock 6.5 volts with modest gains.
    I Blew my speaker system out when upped so I reverted back to stock, I'm sure that had nothing to do with it but getting tired of RMA'ing. I since have received a complete replacement and keep the sound down some.
    I had the XP2700 before my plans of unlocking the Mul failed and wire trick bent the prong and made a key chain out of it, I have pretty much run stock till I get the nerve up again. It's getting summer and my winter hobby is ending with computer building and moving towards riding my motorcycle instead of staying indoors. Next winter will bring newer faster horizons and time for better products to hit the market, I pretty much will leave well enough alone for awhile.
    I like my system too much to kill it again. however at the end of the season I may go for it with all the tricks I will and am picking up.
    I would definently buy an XP3000 Barton again. I got a good deal last month at $340.00 the price had gone down some.

    last night I was fastest but after trying all the Bios to O/C my machine started loosing it, I couldn't regain the preformance I had.
    I tried everything.....couldn't even boot by 5 hours later.
    Well I went to find some double stick tape to afix the Heat sink on the videocard better as I didn't think it was held properly.
    I couldn't find any, I looked at the new videocards while out and there was crap on the shelves. Radon 9000,Nvidia 5200, no way not yet, waiting for the next generation.
    had memtest running the whole time away. 2 hours OK
    I could not get the beast to 11.5x195 without random rebooting and erros at startup. Dam I hate when that happens.
    I decided to go back and undid the wire trick and also changed my heat sink back to the Volcano 9 as it sits much better on the processor than the SLK800, big bulky and a pain in the rear to clip. I noticed the from the marks on the bottom of the heat sink that it was not sitting level.
    That is the first SLK 800 as now they use the mounting holes and a base as this one has the triple clamp. I will have to modify it if I want to use it so it can sit level and be supported as it is narrow in the center and doesnot rest on the pads, scratches show that something else was hitting it. Back to the Volcano 9 at low speed 4100 rpm. system temps at 34C.
    Now I am back on 13x but upped fsb to 177 for a very stable machine again.
    I got the system up and running fast as I could stable then overclocked the videocard slightly 300/602 to get a liveable 3Dmark 2001 mark of 14400.
    System is more responsive just upping the fsb and leaving the mult alone at 13. No issues , no wierd unexplainable MHZ readings. 1300?
    So the whole in a nut shell is just up the fsb and don't bother lowering the mult as the system runs almost as fast as 11.5x195 with video O/C 320/652 145003D marks.
    System much happier leaving the mults alone for me.
    Staying with Bios 3.4, less problems for me.
    System stable, Had me worried there for a minute with no boot situation all afternoon.
    Next years motherboard will definently be an overclocker as this one is not user friendly. Almost had to get next years sooner than expected.
    Leaving well enough alone I learned my overclocking lesson for the week.
    Happy computing
