P67A-C45 SUPPORT Ivy Bridge CPU

P67A-C45 B3 SUPPORT Ivy Bridge CPU

I tried to flash the 5.1 bios via the DOS method but it killed the board. It looked as if it had gone well. It rebooted and flashed the secondary flash and all. But when it came to the final reboot the board was totally dead. The CPU and PSU fans just moved a bit and nothing happened. I tried resetting CMOS by holding the switch to empty the caps, removing battery for 10 minutes and pushing the CMOS button at the back. I even shorted the reset jumper on the board.
I tried the control + home start with both amiboot.rom on USB stick and then burnt to a cd.
I pulled out the board and stripped it trying to see if I could get a beep or blink from the diodes while putting CPU and memory back on. Nothing.
I then bought a new Z77A-S01 IvyBridge board and now I´m happy again.
There´s a bit more in this thread https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=159446.0
I probably did something wrong OR the board was faulty but I just didn´t feel like fighting with it anymore. It’s a bit over a year since I got it and perhaps I could have gotten the shop to fix it but by now I am so tired of the problems (boot errors) with this board that it feels like a relief to put it in the garbage.

P67A-GD65 (B3) Ivy Bridge CPU recognition

Hi all,
I have had this mobo for about a year, and yet I havn't used it, but just recently, I purchased an Ivy Bridge 22nm processor to which to 'try-out' the mobo not knowing the BIOS version. [oops!]
Installing this particular processor, and connecting everything else to the mobo, will it POST despìte the fact that I am unaware of the BIOS version? - Will I able to 'get-into' the BIOS at least? - Any damage to the CPU and/or mobo if turned on and if BIOS version is not the appropiate one?
The thing is, I cannot test the board as I don't have a Sandy bridge CPU at this moment.
In await of any reply,
Thanks.

No POST or entering UEFI/BIOS without a supported CPU, sorry. There is almost no advantage to an Ivy CPU in a P67. Yeah, you get prettier BIOS screens, but how much time is spent in there? Recommend to put a Sandy 2700k in it and it will destroy what an Ivy can do performance wise.
I'm running a 2500K in this same motherboard. I had the intention to grab a E3-1290V2 from work when we reconfigure & update the systems there. But it seams your advising against that?

Buying Z77MA-G45 with an Ivy Bridge CPU

Hi
I would like to buy Z77MA-G45 with Ivy Bridge CPU. It isn't supported by default BIOS (1.1), and I don't really have any possibility to upgrade BIOS with a supported CPU (yes, I've read the topic).
So now questions:
- is Z77MA-G45 runnable with Ivy Bridge just to get to BIOS and update from an USB drive on in a similar way?
- is there any marking on mobos' box that could indicate the BIOS loaded (the BIOS version itself, lot number, serial number, something similar?)
TIA

Quote from: Warner on 16-May-12, 00:53:07
Hello TIA,
The board will handle all Ivy Bridge CPUs without any issues regardless the BIOS version shown on the CPU support list.
However, it is highly recommended that you perform BIOS update to the latest version once the system is up and running for best result.
Sincerely,
Warner
Warner without trying to hijack the thread woudl that also apply to Z77A-GD65?
Thanks

/dev/random on Ivy Bridge CPU

Hello,
I have a Sandy Bridge instead of an Ivy Bridge CPU. Ivy Bridge has a new instruction for true random number generation at 500 Mbit/s.
If I type cat /dev/random, it only shows a few lines of random characters, increasing a bit if I move the mouse.
I'm curious, if you own an Ivy Bridge CPU, does /dev/random make use of it and spit out lots of random data very fast?
So please do an experiment for me, if you are using Linux on an Ivy Bridge CPU: Please let me know how much output "cat /dev/random" gives for you
(Note: NOT /dev/urandom!!).
In other words I'm just curious if Linux makes use of that potential, or if it only uses mouse movement and networking and stuff.
Thanks.

When I use rng-tools, and rngd.service is running, /dev/random is crazy. But like you I get about five random lines if it is not running.
Edit: BTW, I don't have a /dev/hw_random or a /dev/hwrandom.

Does MSI P67A-C45 supports the latest Sandy bridge Celeron (G530,540 etc)

Hello all,
Firstly, I'm the new user here, and I found this forum when I'm in the process of 'googleing' for my new system problems...
Okay, I'm the 'proud' user of MSI P67A-C45 motherboard and due to some sort of fund problems, I just bought this mobo and use the lowest end Sandy Bridge line processor, which is Celeron G540 processor. After getting the enough money somewhere around March next year, I will straightly change my processor to Core i5-2500K (which I assume it will be more cheaper than now)... After installing everything on my new rig, suddenly there are no BIOS shown up at all. The power is available, all of the LED's as well as my heat sink fan are running finely. I'm suspecting that this kind of mobo does not support Celeron G540 processor... So how? Anyone here can help me to resolve this problems... It really ruined my day and now I'm typing this on my netbook which irritating.... Some of my friends said that it must be BIOS related problems... because Celeron is just launched recently and perhaps the BIOS bundled with my motherboard are the older one..... Below is my full rig specification...
Processor : Intel Celeron G540 Processor
Motherboard : MSI P67A-C45 (B3)
RAM : Corsair Value RAM 8GB DDR3 1333MHz (two sticks of 4GB RAM each)
GPU : Sapphire HD6750
Power SUpply : Xigmatek NRP-PC502 500W
Casing : CM Elite 431
HDD : Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB
SSD : Mushkin 60GB SATA-III SSD
** Planning to replace send back the celeron to the seller and change it to Core i3-2100, Core i3 is usable or not with this mobo?
Thanks guys and I really apologize for my bad English... It's not my mother-tongue language actually

Quote from: Henry on 26-December-11, 07:54:09
You have BIOS 1.9 which should support all of the CPU's you mentioned.
Have you plugged in the 4 pin CPU power (JPWR2) on MB & 6 pin to video card PCIe power plugs?
Yes, I already connected 4-pin cpu power as well as 6-pin PCIe power connector both to my motherboard and graphic card, but the system still refuse to shown up the POST screen... :( BTW, I already change the processor from Celeron G540 to Core i3 2100... Waiting for the stock available from the seller...

Ivy Bridge CPU 4 short beeps then Power down

Hi I just got a I7 3770 and when trying to get the board to post it beeps 4 times (short).
I was wondering what the beeps are telling me.
I am using a Z68 MA G45 (B3) board and back in February I asked about a compatible bios and was sent a link to a beta bios that should work.
So I took the risk to try it as I can always get another board if needed as I am building a cheap pc for a family member using the Pentium G620 that I was using till the Ivy Bridge was available.
Hoping I don't need to buy a new board as the 7 series are a little more expensive here. But the extra features will be worth in the long run.
I have asked MSI online support to confirm if the bios is ok but as they are not there till Wednesday as they had 2 days off I wont know for sure till tomorrow.
I thought I'd try anyway as I got impatient.
Thanks for any help.
Kevin

I put the Pentium G620 back in and it would not stay on and no beeps at all.
Then I swapped the I7 back in and still the 4 beeps.
So I took a break and decided after an hour searching the web for help I would try the Pentium one more time.
And this time it worked ok and brought up the bios message that said there was a CPU/memory change and to press a key to go into the bios to reset the info.
So as it's late here (Melbourne Australia) I left the pc alone after switching the power off and will continue tomorrow.
So tomorrow I should know if the bios I have is compatible with the Ivy Bridge and if not I will get a 7 series board.
I just have to return the cheap board I brought and will get a credit towards another board.
Pity about the bios but that's technology for you.

Just ordered iMac and shipped, but it will use Ivy bridge CPU???

I heard new CPU will be used for iMac, should I refund and order again? Or it has already installed???

No. It will have the old processor which is an Intel Core i% or I7 also known as a Sandy Bridge.
The Ivy Bridge has not been released you so you can't get it.
You can return it and wait for the Ivy Bridge that is your chose.

Will my P67A-G43 motherboard support ivy bridge i7 3770k?

Hello,
Currently I'm running an i3 2100 and I was wondering if the P67A-G43 will support and overclock an i7 3770k.
Please let me know!
Thanks

At this time, there is no UEFI/BIOS that wil support an Ivy CPU on your mainboard. It is possible at a later date, still undetermined, that Ivy support will be available for some select B3 mainboards.

P67A-GD55 (B3) bios update to Ivy Bridge, question regarding PCIe-3

Hi,
Ive just updated my P67A-GD55 (B3) to the 4.0 BIOS for Ivy Bridge and I am a little confused as to whether of not I will be able to benfit from PCIe-3 support on a Ivy Bridge CPU?
I intend to run 2 x GTX 680 in SLI, will I still be limited to PCIe-2 of can my board now take advantage of PCI-e 3?
Many thanks in advance.

For PCI-E 3.0, a Z68 G3 series mainboard with an Ivy CPU would be needed at the minimum. So far, you are not really missing anything anyway. PCI-E 3.0 doesn't seem to be reported as providing all that much of a performance benefit with current apps, programs, and games.
Having tested GTX 680 on the P67, I must say it is in itself running PCI-E 2.0 very impressive.

Ivy Bridge Support for 610-1130f (H67 - WJ1 Motherboard)

Intel H67 chipset supports Ivy Bridge but requires a BIOS update.
Does HP plan to release a bios update?
Is there anything we can do to get them to offer an update?
I really wish HP would support it.
I've love this machine even more with a new Ivy Bridge CPU and HD 4000 graphics.
Has anyone tried installing a processor to see what happens?

Hi,
Some third parties have released bios updates to support the Ivy Bridge product. A lot of regession testing needs to be done on the older motherboards. I would suspect that HP will release new models of the TouchSmart with Ivy Bridge support.

H8-1260t / IPISB-CH2 (Chicago) - Can HP add support for Ivy Bridge processors?

The latest UEFI BIOS upgrade for this Sandy Bridge H67-based motherboard is 7.12, dated 10/12/2011. The chipset has the capability to run Ivy Bridge CPUs (released Q4 2011) with a BIOS update to the microcode table (add the CPUID table entries for the 306xx CPUs to the 209xx Sandy Bridge CPUs already in the table, that's all!). I have checked the BIOS using AMI's MMtool, and BIOS ver 7.12 only supports Sandy Bridge CPUs. Can customers using the IPISB-CH2 motherboard, like me, get a BIOS update to support IvyBridge CPUs? -imsai8080 ref:http://www.asrock.com/news/events/2012ivy/ Please note that ASRock is the end-user sales department of Pegatron, which made the IPISB-CH2 motherboard for HP.H67DE3 looks very like the "Chicago" board. further ref:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1155http://www.techpowerup.com/153756/ivy-bridge-quad-core-to-have-77w-tdp-intel-plans-for-lga1155-ivy-bridge-entry.html

I have examined the microcode and there is no support for it, though there is pleanty of room to add it. The BIOS itself is dated 10/12/2011. Simply download the update, change the file extension to .zip, look in the zip, and you'll see the actual mod date for CHG_712_Signed.rom file is 10/12/2011. All they did was update the sp56123.rtf file on 2/14/2012, and later moved it the newer Support format in 4/21/2013 (no files were changed internally). I don't know why they improperly dated it for 4/13. Hope that answers your question, although not the answer either of us wanted.Just to confirm, that's what I'm currently running on a h8-1260t, and 10/12/2011 is the date embedded in the BIOS as well.Big_Dave:Both of us understand that Pegatron is not a retail supplier, and requests for BIOS updates come from the customer, HP. The Ivy Bridge processors were released April 2012, 4 months after the intro of the Chicago board, and ASRock, the *retail* side of Pegatron, announced that all 2nd gen Sandy Bridge mobos (including the H67 motherboards) would have Ivy Bridge support added. IMHO, HP should have requested a BIOS upgrade for their 2nd gen Sandy Bridge Pegatron-based HP motherboards. Obviously, that didn't happen, since their only update is actually dated 10/2011 (see above).It doesn't seem unreasonable to me for HP to drop an request to Pegatron, a *current* motherboard supplier for HP, to cut an upgrade to support the HP motherboards derived fom the retail motherboards Pegatron already have upgraded circa 3 months after the release of the HP (Pegatron) "Chicago" motherboard, which looks AMAZINGLY like the ASRock (Pegatron retail) H67DE3 with the dual graphics support removed (standard for HP), SATA 4 & 5 moved to board edge, and HP proprietary frontpanel connector added in the original place for the H67DE3 SATA 4 & 5 <grin>. Probably a couple minutes with the right BIOS tools and updated microcode from Intel (which I also have!), to support all Chicago-based systems. I'm hoping that maybe a HP Support rep can chime in on this, or someone can tell me where to find tools to recompile to add the SAFUWIN-compatible checksums to a modded BIOS? -Imsai8080 P.S. If it wasn't for the code checksums and the nonstandard SAFUWIN flash programmer, I would already have added the Ivy Bridge microcode myself. Gave it a try, no go so far, but I might keep trying.

MSI P67A-C45 (B3) memory issiue

Hi,
I have MSI P67A-C45 (B3 motherboard , CORE I7 2600 3.4GHz and Kingston KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX memory kit. i upgraded BIOS to the latest version, but, bios always detect memory as 1333 mhz. After manualy setting memory to 1600 mhz, system freezes after an hour or so. I tried another memory set (GOODRAM) and MB automaticly detects memory at 1600, and system is stable. Can anyone tell me why this MB detects memory designed to be 1600mhz , at 1333? Should send KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX to RMA, or just wait for another BIOS to improve memory compatibility? or maybe there is another way to fix this?
Regards
P.S. sorry for my english

Quote
bios always detect memory as 1333 mhz
That is normal. That is the default & the supported Sandy Bridge CPU IMC RAM speed, 1600 is overclocking. The BIOS sets what it reads off the RAM SPD profiles, so that is why some set up completely different than others.

Again, that is perfectly normal.

RAM is fine, no need to RMA it. A new BIOS more than likely won't set it to 1600 as default, because the SPD profile isn't programmed that way. To attempt an OC to 1600, it will need to be done manually in the BIOS. You could also try to set X.M.P. in the BIOS & see how it does.

Is MSI Z77A-G43 a good board? For Ivy Bridge?

Is MSI Z77A-G43 a good board? I have read few problems posted here in the forum. Obviously majority of users use it just fine?
Is the mobo good for Ivy Bridge? I don't see Ivy Bridge listed here http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z77A-G43.html#/?div=CPUSupport

Yes the Z77 supports Ivy Bridge. The CPU support list is not quite up to date as as the time there were no CPUs available, they were supposed to launch April 23rd but have been delayed until some time in June as far as I know.

H61MA-E35 (B3) 4 beeps on POST with Ivy Bridge

Just built this machine, it has never posted and I am getting a 4 beeps and then a reboot whenever it is turned on.
I looked it up online and found it's either it's something to do with a timer(?) or the most probable cause being the current bios not supporting the Ivy Bridge CPU I'm using.
So basically, am I indeed correct in thinking the CPU isn't compatible with the current BIOS? If so, is there anyway to flash it without a cpu/using the incompatible CPU? As I don't really want to buy another processor just to use this one.
Thanks for any help.

As you don't know what bios you have it is hard to say but it is an old B3 board so most likely it has no Ivy Bridge supporting bios. You could add S/N to say for sure. If it has a bios not supporting Ivy Bridge there is no other way than using a Sandy cpu to update bios or asking MSI or a pc shop to do it for you.
