Hello. I have just upgraded my MSI KT3 Ultra with a Barton XP2500+ and
Thermaltake Silentboost 7.
[Currently readings are as follows
XP1900 @ 1466Mhz.
Resting temp (in BIOS, side off case) 33 deg C
Used Artic Silver 5 so it should drop a bit more.
System temp (in BIOS, side off case) 32 deg C
CPU fan speed 2600rpm
I have PC2700 RAM at latency 2.5, set to SPD.
FSB 133, memory clock 133, AGP clock 55.5, PCI clock 33.3
CPU ratio set to auto]

I have found instructions to change the FSB, but it says
"make sure if your running at 133 that you dissable hostclk+33 first "
Where do I find hostclk+33 in my BIOS (v5.7)? I can't find it. Instructions
were at

Also, do I need to overclock the memory or something?


The following is a different (BIOS version?) for the KT3 board, where
the memory bus isn't set to a frequency number but rather to "HCLK",
which if the BIOS functions properly, should be what you want. Note
that the picture shows 133MHz for "current host clock", while your
board with the Barton CPU installed and set correctly, would show
166MHz for the current host clock.
