MSI KT3 Ultra2 what divisor does it have at 200FSB?

[diesel604]

Message for all you fellow MSI KT3 Ultra2 owners....

Current setup:

AMD Tbred-A (AIUGA) 1800+ XP @ 2000Mhz
Modified TI-V77L HSF
1 X 120mm Side intake Fan
2 X 256Mb PC2700 DDR RAM (Infineon + Winbond)
Leadtek Geforce3 Ti200 64Mb
Generic 300W PSU (came with the case)
Couple a old ATA66 Fujitsu HD's
1 X LG DVD Drive
1 X Aopen CDRW

Temps are fine, CPU under load is at 46ºC

I've been running my M/B at 12 X 166Mhz FSB (2004) for quite a while now and so far have had no problems with my PCI devices.

So recently I bumped up the FSB to 10 X 200Mhz (2000) but had to relax the meemory timings (can't remember what they were) and everything's pretty stable. haven't ran memtest86 yet though

Ok *whew* after all that...I think the board does have 1/5 PCI divisor at 166Mhz but does anybody know if it has a 1/6 PCI divisor at 200Mhz?

I dont THINK it has 1/6, although im not certain

Yes I do know. The answer is negative. So solly.

Although I knew the KT333 didn't have a /6 divider, I didn't know (until November or so last year) that the KT400 didn't.

'twas with the 8K9A2+; .. checked sandra and the PCI bus was running at 40MHz

DDR400, not 400MHz FSB VIA in all their trickery

BPB & BigJakk thanks for the info.

I tested for stability with real world apps....nada...Freelancer kept crapping out on me. Oh well it was nice to get 2.8Gb/s for a while from my memory

Anyone want to donate an Nforce2 (working) board to me?

Lol cV I know eh... I almost fell for that KT400 chipset thing I did lots of reading up on them

BTW does sandra actually report the PCI bus speed or does it just do a guesstimate? i.e. take the actual FSB and divide by theoretical divider? Is there such a proggie?

BTW - I'm really leaning into getting a Soltek 75FRN2-L (C stepping) board been hearing a majority of good reviews and stability at 200FSB.....thumbs up or down? (Budget board)

I don't trust Sandra as far as I can toss it. Try Aida32:

Epox 8rda+ for oclocks....
Asus A7n8x for oclocking little less but good features and very solid stable mobo.
Asus A7N8x deluxe same as anove but super-uber feature packed! Most features of all nforce2 mobo's including SATA raid. cant wait to use that with 2 10k rpm drives!
MSI- super stable, not anywhere near as oclockable as the two above from what I hear that is. I dont own one. Just have the A7N8X deluxe rev 1.06 333fsb. My bros. getting rev 2.0 later next month. think he'd notice if I traded even up
