GSkill oh dear.
Use 1 RAM stick with GPUs of your choice. I am not just sure if 295X2 should be mixed with 290x.

  • Z87-GD65 won't Overclock

    Got My Z87-GD65 back from RMA.When i try to set my 4770k to 4.2ghz in bios its reverts to 39 only.I have flash to latest bios and still same thing.It wont let me overclock at all.I switched to bios B,and still locked at 3.9ghz.Even OC Genie won't overclock it.Did i get a worst board than the one i RMA'd.The one i sent in had a bricked bios A,but B still worked.Even my ram i set the xmp profile to 2400,but only does 1600.

    sounds like a bad motherboard, trying different kind/brand of RAM would help. also, I am assuming the CPU fan is firmly plugged in in "CPU fan header" on the board, right? is there 1 or 2 of those? try one RAM stick in all slots one at a time, then same with other stick. if all that fails, i would think it's a mobo.

  • Z87-GD65 pulsing sound + overclocking + stress test

    When I run a CPU stress test, I hear a slight pulsing sound coming from the motherboard. It is a pulsating sound that almost sounds like a chirping bird. As soon as I turn the stress test off, the sound goes away. I am concerned with this as I have read online that it could be a capacitor or resistor producing this sound... which it shouldn't be making any sounds... least not sounds heard by the human ear. So, I am wondering if this is a sign of a bad motherboard? Should I ask for it to be RMA'd?
    With that mentioned, I have noticed peculiar behaviors while overclocking... a stable overclock that has run for hours will all of a sudden become unstable... so perhaps that is the reason? the oscillating noise is a sign that the motherboard is bad?
    I am concerned about this as in all my years of overclocking, I never heard a noise coming from my system motherboard when stressing the CPU... this is a first for me.
    Any ideas or thoughts on what I should do?
    My motherboard is the MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming mobo.
    I have an i7-4770K CPU overclocked to 4.3GHz... just bought the things I need to delidd so I can go higher.
    I am using the NZXT Kraken closed loop water cooling system.
    32GB of DDR3 Memory running at 2133 speed....
    I appreciate any tips or advice.
    Thank you,

    Things are really looking good now!!!   
    Another guide, that was referenced by the first guide I listed, taught me everything I needed to know about Haswell and stability. http://www.overclock.net/t/1411077/haswell-overclocking-thread-with-statistics
    As recommended, by the good folks in this post, I first set out to get my memory super stable as well as my Ring. I set my ring to default [35] with default voltage set manually. I then set my memory to 1600 2,9,9,9,24 with voltage at 1.55v. I then started overclocking solely on multiplier and upping the voltage. By the way, I delidded my i7-4770K and used liquid metal on the CPU die and the best thermal paste I could find on the IHS... OMG!! My temps are crazy low now!!!
    Anyways, I found a very stable 4.5GHz overclock running at 1.29v. While running Prime95, Small FFT's test, my temps never go above 75 degrees C. That is amazing!!! Considering that before the delid, my temps were closer to 100 degree C. 
    So, right now, this is how I am set and VERY stable. Based on the guide above, I will now start testing how high I can take Ring with 100% stability. After that, I will then start testing how high I can take my memory.... however, based on the good information in this post from very seasoned folks as well as the guide above, I am really not too concerned with whether or not I can get my memory to run at XMP settings of 2133... because right now, 1600 is completely stable and I am very happy about that!!! 
    The key statement, that I can make about my experience with Haswell is, BE PATIENT!!! I made a huge mistake by just overclocking everything at once not knowing what I was doing and just trying to emulate similar specs people had discovered while overclocking. That was bad on me! I should have done more research and learned to start testing one element at a time.
    So, thanks again everyone for your input!!
    Cheers,

    Oh no, they are not, as you can OC the GPU and the BCLK if you so wish.
    First peruse the facts before making wild comments that are untruthful. http://www.anandtech.com/show/4830/intels-ivy-bridge-architecture-exposed
    It does help to gather technical facts before purchasing HW that one expects to support the intended outcome.
    No H67 board out there supports "K" edition CPU multiplier overclocking. Sorry mate. Cry on Intel's shoulder. 
    Never buy a Yaris and then tell the manufacturer that he forgot to give you the Lexus luxuries. 
    OK, just gotten the box of the mainboard, let me qoute from the box:
    OC Genie is an auto-overclocking technology for any type of user. Just enable the OC Genie function and the CPU memory, and iGPU will be automatically increased for top performance!
    Benefits:
    Auto detect and overclock CPU, memory, and iGPU in 1 second
    Unlock CPU Ratio and overclock to 4.2GHz
    Unleashed 36% iGPU increase
    Tell me how this is not a lie, overclock to 4.2 GHz...

    It's common to suggest to upgrade BIOS. I recommend not to unless it is essential, and reading the comments on manufacturer site do no harm either.
    There are two ways to OC SandyBridge and above CPUs, one is change the clock, and the other is change Turbo settings, so lets try that way.
    Load optimized defaults, change vcore as before then set all cores boost ratio (in CPU Features) to 42 (Turbo must be enabled). On my board is enough if I set 4 cores to 42 but would be safer to begin with all of them at 42.
    Try with OverSpeed Protection disabled, or enabled and power limits 130 for short and 120 for long.
    My CPU runs 4 threads of Prime95 (v28.5 AVX) at about 100W at 4.2GHz. So maybe for testing only, disable hyper-threading.
    Another thing may be insufficient vcore maybe? Not sure what safe vcore is for 2600k, so look it up before increasing.
    Ok, I tried this all and still got the same results. I enabled Turbo, then changed all the values that you suggested with the ratio at 42 and vcore at 1.3. When running 8 test threads in prime95 I still only get up to 3.9. I tried again, enabling enhanced turbo, but it didn't change anything. The only thing that I did not try was disabling overspeed protection, and I'll try that now, but if it doesn't, what is going on?

    thanks for your comment ...
    BIOS updating is a necessary thing as MSI does not support my GPU on its mainstream BIOS updates.
    as it happens, another member of the forum told me that these BIOS updates were actually supported by MSI:

    well, if this motherboard worked as it was supposed to - there would be no need to spend days trying to troubleshoot it
    in short, I would say **avoid** MSI like to plague

    hi, got my new board yesterday but having big problems with the killer network manager and bad lag issues, every boot i get http://s601.photobucket.com/user/Reaper_of_souls/media/Killernetworkspeedtest.png.html , when i try to use the dam program i get http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt96/Reaper_of_souls/Desktop_2013_11_02_10_23_01_369.jpg . i no for a fact flash is installed and adobe verified its installed as have other flash verify sites, how do i sort this problem as i'm seriously ready to remove board and send back to seller
    Open http://www.speedtest.net/ site from Internet explorer [Not with other browsers]
    and let flash player to install
    the flash player version must be for Internet explorer, not for other browsers.
    then killer manager will able to perform the tests

  • Z87-GD65 won´t boot.

    When I press the power button on the MB, the mainboard lights up (A Bios light), and fans start spinning, this happens for a split second, then it just dies. 
    This is what I have done:
    1. Disconnected every cable and visually checked motherboard and connections.
    2. Tried the motherboard outside the chassis.
    3. Relocated the memories. (Single and double)
    4. Tried with an old PSU, and the new in my old computer. New one works.
    5. Removed the CMOS battery and replaced it.
    6. Shifted the RESET and ON/OFF button.
    7. Removed the graphics card.
    8. Removed the CPU and cooler and checked them visually.  All pins are intact.
    9. On-board display does not show any codes.
    Any ideas?  Board is still under warranty but I am hoping I don't have to wait that long to be up and running again.  Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

    sounds like a bad motherboard, trying different kind/brand of RAM would help. also, I am assuming the CPU fan is firmly plugged in in "CPU fan header" on the board, right? is there 1 or 2 of those? try one RAM stick in all slots one at a time, then same with other stick. if all that fails, i would think it's a mobo.

    Start upping your voltage, my chip needs [email protected] and for stability at 4.4 it needs 1.38.
    Those guys on YouTube definitely got a better chip
    Once you get enough voltage to boot into windows without bsod start stability testing. Make sure to set volts to override

  • Overclocking on the Z87-GD65 with i7-4770K

    Ok, so the last board i got from MSI was a Z68 board with a 2500k and i was able to overclock it pretty well up to 5.0. But now with the upgrade i just did i got the Z87-GD65 gaming board with the new i7-4770k and i cant even get it to go over 4.2. half the stuff that is in the bios i haven't ever seen before so im not sure what all this "ring" stuff is and whatnot but would anyone like to explain some of this stuff to me possibly on what i have to do to do some actual Overclocking with this thing? if anyone does know?
    Thanks,
    Mike
    If you need to know any other info just let me know, ill try to get back asap. Thanks

    Just got my 4770k and GD65 installed.
    Love the board and the UEFI bios, my first MSI one for ages.
    Offtopic: I did notice that i couldn't disable the Intel Raid OROM, even with  boot set to UEFI only, it always flashes up on startup. Solved it by updating the Satadriver.ffs in the bios from version v12.0.0.1783 included in bios 1.2 with the latest 12.7.0.1910.
    Ontopic: Little bit overwhelming all the new bios options after SB/IB.
    I just went for a quick and easy 4.4ghz
    CPU Ratio (44)
    CPU Core Voltage Mode (Auto)
    CPU Core Voltage Offset Mode (+)
    CPU Core Voltage Offset (+0.20)
    Ring Ratio(43)
    Everything else left at auto in the bios.
    I set the ring ratio to one less than CPU (as read that on Techpowerup)
    The core voltage offset of +0.20 was just arbitrary but seems to work, can stress test in Aida64 for over an hour no probs. Did half an hour of Prime aswell, but need to do more.
    CPU is idling at 800mhz and ~.0.7volts
    Fully loaded its 4400mhz and 1.194v in Aida64 with Prime its 1.188v
    Temps fully loaded are 65'c with the occasions spike to 71'c on one particular core, So not that much worse than my 3750k at 4.5ghz.
    (Thermalright SB-E cooler dual fan, MX4 paste)
    Really feel as though I need to tweak/change some more settings though !!!!
    I didn't touch LLC, as i see no option in the bios anywhere for this ?(Is it called something else now?)
    Did I miss anything in the bios that can help, power options or something ??

  • Z87-GD65 Enable "Windows 8/8.1 Feature" = Won't boot, Disabled = Boots up

    How do I enable Windows 8/8.1 Feature in the Z87-GD65 Settings?   When I turn it on, Windows 8.1 no longer will boot.  (see video below of what happens)   Is this because I didn't have it enabled BEFORE I installed Windows?  If so can I fix this without a re-install?   My C: is a 120GB SSD.    I have about 12 other 3TB Hard Drives installed as well with 2 secondary SATA cards installed.

    Quote from: pandaz on 02-April-14, 13:46:01
    I got the same problem before and after doing some research, I found out the ff. Info:
    When set the Windows 8/8.1 Feature to Enabled then the system could only boot to Windows if your windows is installed using UEFI mode.
    If you didn't install Win8 in UEFI mode then you will need to reinstall your Win 8.1 using UEFI mode.
    The SSD drive was originally in a Zotac ZBOX ID84 mini-PC.    I turned the zbox UEFI mode on before the install was done.
    I transplanted the SSD drive into the new Z87-GD65 based computer.    Windows 8.1 booted right up (only after a firmware update)
    So technically yes, UEFI mode was enabled, but was a different computer. (but then again maybe it wasn't?)
    Will the computer boot faster if I reinstall from scratch with Windows 8/8.1 Feature enabled?    What else works better/faster with this feature enabled?  (more stable etc?)
    Basically, is it worth the hassle of starting fresh?  I have a very complicated home server/media center combination setup.
