890gxm-g65 bios voltages

I am confused with the lots of voltage settings in the bios and I want to know which voltage do I need to tweak if I want to overclock or under volt my processor.
Thanks

No, that is called marketing.  In most cases, there are no problems with M-Flash whatsoever.  However, in too many other instances there have been problems with M-Flash, that is why we warn against using it, to be on the safe side.  You can either ignore these warnings and take your chances (probably 95% success rate) or take them seriously and update the BIOS the DOS-Way and increase the success rate to 99.9999%.  It is up to you.  In case the only reason you posted your remark is to start the sort of discussion we already had hundred times in this forum, please either start your own topic and state your actual problem or just don't reply to my reply.  This is a user-to-user forum, not an MSI Technical Support or an official MSI Products complaint stations.

  • 890GXM-G65 BIOS update failure

    I just assembled a PC with the 890GXM-G65 motherboard, 4 GB Kingston DDR3-1333 memory (2x KVR1333D3N9/2G), Athlon II X2 245 processor, Nvidia 8500GT video card. BIOS revision was 1.6. Although I intended to do a clean Windows 7 x64 install later, initially and with only minor adjustments I was able to successfully boot from my HDD transplanted from my old PC with Windows 7 x86.
    I decided to update to BIOS 1.7 because I built this system in an emergency and on a tight budget, hence the Athlon II X2 and the reused old video card and HDD, but I intend to upgrade to a Phenom II X6 and a better card soon, and I remembered having seen the information on MSI's Web site, on the processor compatibility list, that revision 1.7 was required to support hexa-core processors. Later I found that the information on that page had been corrected to a mere version 1.2, but by then it was too late.
    I downloaded the ZIP file with the BIOS 1.7 update (7642v17.zip) from MSI's Web site and extracted it. I tried to run the executable (AFUD4310.EXE) from within a Windows 7 command prompt, but I saw a message that the program could not run in that OS. I tried to perform LiveUpdate from MSI's site, but apparently it wasn't compatible either (Windows 7 and IE 8), because nothing happened and it kept returning to the same screen, even though I had enabled all ActiveX options for MSI's site. Then I saved the BIOS binary (A7642AMS.170) to a FAT-formatted USB stick and tried M-Flash from BIOS.
    The BIOS recognized the file but said there was a "ROM dismatch" (sic). I canceled it, rebooted, re-downloaded the file, calculated the MD5 hash for the BIOS binary both on my HDD and on the USB stick and they matched, which rules out any problem with the file copy process or the USB stick hardware. I repeated the M-Flash process and since I had double-checked that the ROM file was correct, I saved my old BIOS to the same USB stick and let the flashing proceed.
    The BIOS flash process went normally through the end ("Erasing ROM," "Writing ROM," etc.), with the message that the PC would reboot after 5 seconds. Which, of course, it didn't. Other than the blue LEDs and the processor fan spinning, nothing happens. Not even the GPU fan spins, and the same video card still works perfectly in my old PC, which of course I had to re-assemble - I'm writing from it now and using the same video card. I tried everything, in desperation including resetting the BIOS jumpers and removing the battery, even though I knew that's for misconfigured BIOS parameters, not for a corrupted BIOS.
    Now, you don't have to tell me that a BIOS upgrade is risky. I know it, and only did it because I thought I had a good reason - to make my new PC ready for the upgrade I intend to do soon. But first, I wouldn't have done it without the incorrect information that was on MSI's Web site. Second, one expects a BIOS update to go without problems if you have the correct binary ROM file from the motherboard's manufacturer and there are no power outages or other problems that interrupt the process. Both these requisites were met. Yet now my brand-new mobo (which I stressed my limited budget to get exactly because of the X6 support and new 890GX chipset) appears to be dead.
    Do I have just an expensive paperweight and a considerable loss in my bank account, or is there still hope? Can anything still be done to save my motherboard? Thanks a lot for any possible help.

  • 890GXM-G65 Bios Update Render Unlocked Phenom Locked

    I have an "unlocked Phenom II X2 560", it was unlocked (Phenom II X4 B60) and running well for 3 month, but today after I update the bios to version 1.D, I missed my unlocked cores.
    Why this is happening?
    What I have to do to recover my unlocked cores?
    Thanks

    I set the Unlocked feature of the BIOS with no result,  I tried MSI utility "BIOS Code Unlocking Technology", I have enabled the unlocked CPU Core, but I only see 2 cores.
    Thanks.

  • 890GXM-G65 Bios Raid and install Windows 7 Fresh

    latest bios installed it is "1.D"
    one intel ssd that is 80GB
    two OCZ ssd`s that are 60GB each
    one older IDE dvd burner
    i really hate IDE as many of you do im sure.
    maybe some of you can help me with my problem.
    what i would like to do is have all 4 sata ports used
    1 sata port for dvd burner (that i would buy Again)
    1 sata port for intel ssd
    2 sata ports for ocz ssd`s that i would like to bios raid
    i would then like to install windows 7 from the sata dvd burner (fresh install)
    so the help i would need is the "exact" settings for the bios (raid, ahci, ide) and also what settings to use in the seperate raid bios setup area.
    i tried to do this about a year ago and was not able to do it because the raid bios was acting weird when you would put the two ocz ssd in a raid0 then the sata dvd wouldnt work and even the sata intel ssd didnt work right
    whenever the 4 sata ports are put in anything to do with raid (then anything you dont want to put in the raid (ex: sata burner or single intel ssd) dont work)
    so if anyone can help on this i would be much appreciated.
    thanks

    In bios make sure you select ACHI for the sata port to which your ssd is wired.
    Honestly, with the costs of everything coming down so much, I would sell the ssd's you have. Buy 1 256gb ssd for your os and frequently used programs / games etc and 1 500 gb hdd for movies music and the like. If you are stuck with what you have, use the 60gb ssd for the os, then research if trim works when used with windows raid. IE you go into disk manager and create a single logical drive from there. Then you would have a 2nd decently sized logical drive. If trim doesn't work even with windows raid, I would be back to selling 2 of the drives...

  • MSI 890GXM-G65 @ Core Unlocking

    Hi guys, I'm new here in this forums.
    I just want to ask for those who uses their MSI 890GX-G65 for core unlocking.
    specs:
    AMD Phenom II X2 555BE (4 cores stable)
    MSI 890GXM-G65 bios @ 1.6
    G.Skill Ripjaws 1600 CL7 (running @ 1333mhz 7-8-7-24 @1.6v)
    MSI R5770 Hawk
    OCZ ModXstream 600w
    My issue is I've unlocked my processor and it's pretty stable, enable ACC. then boot OK.
    after some hours of gaming, PC is shutdown. After a few hours, I opened it again and it boot again as X2 yet ACC is enabled.
    I have to disable ACC reboot then enable ACC again to unlock it again to x4.
    Another issue is OS loading, it's 4x longer in loading than the normal once, my basis in the OS Loading in my PC is after the logo of windows appear, caps,scroll,num lock leds will lit and the mouse then after that it should continue to login screen, but in my case after the lit ups, it hang for a minute(or longer) before continuing to the log in screen. i tried it with all stock no OC, regular OS loading only takes place after reformatting my Computer. after that it returns this kind of case.

    I think it's stable enough, btw the x4 to x2 scenario is not always happening. but it has high chances the your next cold boot would you're on X2.
    and i do Play games(2 hours minimum), do stress test(1 hour minimum  then back to stock), and overclocking(only when gaming). and i think it's really stable. 

  • XFX Radeon HD 5770 Compatible with 890GXM-G65?

    Anyone have issues installing an XFX Radeon HD 5770 video card with the 890GXM-G65?  Bought one and when I installed it, the fan was blowing but the card was extremely hot (smelled like something was melting).  Also my monitor didn't recognize a signal so the screen was black.  Returned that one, and although the second one was considerably cooler, nothing still appeared on screen.  Is this a compatibility issue?

    Sorry about that, here are my specs:
    Specs:
    CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1055T
    Mobo: MSI 890GXM-G65 bios v1.6

  • 890gxm-g65 raid0 driver issue??

    I recently built a new system and it has been up and running for a few months now and I decided to upgrade the boot drive to some ssds in a raid 0 configuration.  I figured out how to setup the raid configuration in bios just fine with the pdf manual that is online, however when I attempt to install  windows 7 ultimate 64bit sp1, it will not recognize the ATI_SB8xx_RAID_764_mb drivers.  But for some reason it will recognize the 32bit raid drivers. 
    Here is my system setup:
    msi 890gxm-g65 bios 1.8
    amd phenomII x4 955 black edition
    16 gb ddr3 g.skill ripjaws 1333 (PC3 10666)
    SeaSonic X Series X650 Gold psu
    wd green 750gb WD7500AARS  (old boot drive, hopefully soon to be storage drive)
    corsair force series sata 3 60 gb ssd CSSD-F60GB3-BK (x2 in raid 0)
    I attempted to correct this issue by using F8 while windows 7 is booting to disable driver signature enforcement and received the same result.  https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=139814.0
    I attempted to find more update ahcix64s driver but there are none to be found (out of desperation I tried to use them anyway, I even tried to integrate them into the os disc using rt 7 lite).  The 64 bit driver does seem to install fine in my current running windows 7 environment (on the 750gb wd drive), just not during installation with the raid 0 drives.
    I read on a few other forums that with a different motherboard they had a similar issue with only the 32 bit drivers being recognized, and could install the 32 bit version of windows 7, which seems like a step backwards.  In addition I found someone in the same boat who got around the issue by installing vista 64 bit, then upgrading, which I do not care to do.
    I have not attempted to update or downgrade the bios version. (I wanted a second opinion before messing around with that, as I understand it can be unforgiving should something go wrong.). in addition opening a command prompt window during the os installation proces and entering bcdedit -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS into command prompt in setup does nothing. (i found another post where the "-" is a "/" and that nets the same result)  http://forums.techarena.in/motherboard-processor-ram/1398064.htm
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    when I attempted installation I have been unplugging the current boot drive.  The first screen I am given after selecting the us / english / keyboard stuff and clicking the "install now" is the screen asking for drivers.
    I know that windows must be recognizing the raid drives because I could continue installation but only if I use the 32 bit drivers and corresponding os version.

  • Only 12 GB RAM showing in BIOS of 890GXM-G65 when 16 GB RAM is installed

    Just added 2 x 4 GM RAM of the identical type as the original 2 x 4 GB to my son's PC, motherboard 890GXM-G65.
    Even after a BIOS flash to the latest version, the BIOS still only recognizes 12 GB RAM but Windows 8 confirms 16 GB is installed, with only 12 GB available.
    Anyone have any suggestions on this one, to unlock/enable the additional RAM?  Tried many things to no avail.

     can be dead ram or dead slot or may be corrosion or dirty slot connector, try to find contact cleaner in electronic store to clean the slot ( without power of course )

  • Which BIOS version latest V1.8/V1.B for 890GXM G65

    Hi All,
    I bought a new AMD1090T (6Core) with MSI 890GXM-G65 mobo along with 4GB RAM.
    System is working ideally under Win 7 32-bit however in 64-bit it is not recognizing my Hard Disk which is being detected in BIOS.
    System is also lagging after updating all the softwares.
    Can you guide me??
    Windows 7 Ultimate.

    Quote
    Yes, it does however it is giving me error that Hard disk is capable but the command failed
    Quote
    my one of the three hard disks stop getting detected in BIOS and hence then on Windows 7 64-bit.
    Is it the same hard drive that did not appear in Windows before (the "command failed" hard drive)?  In case the answer is yes, then this sounds like a bad hard drive rather than a board or BIOS problem.

  • 890GXM-G65 no S.M.A.R.T. support in bios.

    Hi.
    Few days ago i buy mobo 890GXM-G65, today  wanted to check S.M.A.R.T. on one of my hdd, and i have a surprise, smartctl gives me that answer:
    Quote
    SMART support is: Disabled
    SMART Disabled. Use option -s with argument 'on' to enable it.
    Ok, i try with this: smartctl -a -s on /dev/sda and i receive that:
    Quote
    === START OF ENABLE/DISABLE COMMANDS SECTION ===
    Error SMART Enable failed: Input/output error
    Smartctl: SMART Enable Failed.
    A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T perm
    issive' options.
    Ok, so i reboot OS, check every option in bios and don't see nothing about S.M.A.R.T. bios version is 1.B (last). This mobo realy don't support S.M.A.R.T. features or this my "luck"?

    SMART don't really shows accurate info, often makes mistakes.
    Maybe is not accurate in 100% (especially if we speak about Seagate drives, or windows soft like hd tune), but still is really helpful
    Quote from: Svet on 20-July-11, 01:16:26
    Also thing its available only in native IDE mode.[/color]
    I think it doesn't matter (until today i never have problem on ahci or ide), but i check and still this same.

  • 890GXM G65 Phenom II X6 BIOS query

    Hi. I didn't get the required information from the sticky regarding thuban support for the above mentioned board, so I've created a new thread. I have a plan of buying AMD Phenom II X6 1055T processor and MSI 890GXM G65 board. The board at the time of release didn't have the support for thubans, so most probably I'd need to get a BIOS update for the installation of the thuban CPU. My question is, Will it boot with the thuban CPU even without the bios update? I'm asking this because I don't have an old AMD CPU to carry out the BIOS update process. If it doesn't boot, the it's a complete waste of money. Thanks in advance...

    I was afraid of this combo but my results were fine. I bought the combo at Frys and it came with bios version 1.4 and booted and worked fine through windows, but it would not recognize cpu speed accurately after overclock( had nothing to do with amd cool feauture) After 1.6 bios update its recognized flawlessly. You shouldnt need to have another processor to do a bios update,it should still allow you to boot to bios.
    This is guide i followed to flash bios successfully with bootable usb

  • Tales of Extreme Frustration: 890GXM-G65 won't POST

    Purchased components to build new computer and the PC won't post for some unknown reason.  The fans come one and the 4 APS LEDS all light up but nothing further.   
    Tested the HD with my current machine and verified it functional via bios.  Tested PSU on my current machine as well and found it to be working.Took the memory back in exchange for 1.5v per the documentation.  Nothing.  Went to exchange the mobo and they get it to fire up right before my eyes.  Assuming the CPU is the issue I make the exchange.  Again, nada.  I go and return yet again and get a 3rd processor and am still getting nothing.  Tried plugging the pwr leaving just the CPU, not even memory expecting error tones from the piezo but of course nothing.  It posted at Fry's so I'm kind of out of things to try.
    Saw posts online citing vcore issues but nothing really fitted what I'm experiencing especially when the solution is to flash the bios when I can't even post.
    Need help. Nightmare build.  THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! 
    Setup:
    MOBO = MSI 890GXM-G65
    CPU = AMD Phenom II x6 (1st & 2nd were 1090T, and the 3rd is 1075T)
    MEM = 2x2GB DDR3 1333 Corsair XMS3
    PSU = Cooler Master 650W

    Can you ask the obviously very kind servicemen at your store to update BIOS for you.
    Hey thanks man that would be an idea I haven't thought of yet... moreover, I'd like to find out how I can do that myself. 
    Question:  How does one update the bios on a board that won't post?
    Plan:  obtain a stick of super low end ram, get the thing to fire up (assuming its a voltage/vcore issue that's preventing the post), update then reassemble proper
    Does someone know of another way to accomplish?

  • 890GXM-G65 working with 1,6v RAM - Is that ok?

    Hello, folks. I built my first rig last year, with the 890GXM-G65, and I am considering a few updates, which made me realize that I made a mistake  . Now that I am more aware of things in a rig, I saw that my mainboard requires 1,5v RAM, but I have 2 x 2GB Corsair DDR3 1.333MHz TW3X4G1333C9 G (1,6v). I read somewhere that using memory with voltage higher than the mainboard can compromise or even burn the processor. Is that right? Is the 1,6v RAM putting my processor or the mainboard at risk?
    I will replace the RAM for 4 x 4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9 (1,5v), but I don’t know if I can wait a little bit or if I should replace the RAM as soon as possible. All in all, my computer is working fine since day one, but I don't know if the mistake with the RAM is lowering its performance. Or maybe I was expecting too much of my Phenon II 1090T 
    Here is my rig:
    - Windows XP (Win7 is driving me nuts)
    - 890GXM-G65 (no OC whatsoever)
    - 2 x 2GB Corsair DDR3 1.333MHz TW3X4G1333C9 G
    - Phenom II 1090T
    - Sapphire HD 6870
    - HD (OS) Seagate Barracuda 320GB
    I appreciate any comments,

    I your Bios, if you look in the Cell Menu, there are available adjustments for memory. You can run 'Auto' or set specs to match your Memory specs, or Overclock. Although the manual States 1.5v, it is the Auto basics and can support 1.5v sticks. I looked at MSI under 'Test Report' and your current Corsair memory is on the tested list, as OK to use. If you memory specs ask for a different voltage value, you can manually set the voltage in your Bios under DRAM Voltage(V). Never adjust into the RED values. Setting to the suggested voltages for your sticks is proper, any other choice is Overclocking, or Underclocking. You can also set the timing and 1T/2T. Again this information is available at Corsair for your memory sticks. Do not think that MSI tested and qualified memory sticks are to be set at 1.5v, if the sticks call for a different voltage. At Corsair it shows TW3X4G1333C9G stick as 1.5v (you say 1.6v) and timing of 9-9-9-24. Double check at corsair to verify the values. That said if they are infact 1.6v memory sticks, then set the DRAM voltage to 1.6v. I do not see the Corsair Vengeance DDR3 CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9 sticks at MSI test list as tested. That doesn't mean you can't use them.. just not on the tested list. You can verify that at Corsair.
    Good Luck

  • 890GXM-G65 Boot issue (onboard video?)

    Well i was going to upgrade my computer with this mobo and a new video card and ofc new ram and cpu since i was still on ddr2 and dual core. well i go to put everything together and at first when i had the video card in there it was booting up fine with one beep every time it showed the bios thing. The first problem was though that after the post screen happened it sat there so long at the black screen with blinking cursor before going into the windows 7 setup, the cd drive kept spinning up in bursts during that long wait. And also the bios was only recognizing half the memory when i put them in slot 1 and 2 so now in slot 1 and 3 they are always recognized. Then after i got into the gui part of the w7 setup about halfway through it would either freeze or restart (mostly restart) but not part of the expected restarts that the windows installation does. So i took out the video card thinking maybe that was the cause and tried to just use the onboard video. Now when i try to boot it up all the fans start spinning, cd rom spins up but no signal is ever sent to the monitor like it was unplugged, and also i dont see any activity from the hdd based on the front led and also the keyboard never lights up (blue backlit keys) and mouse laser never comes on. I did get a chance to run memtest for a few passes and no errors, so not really sure what to do now. anyone experience something similar?

    psu: 700w coolmax psu (the same psu used in the last system so i know its not bad, maybe under rated?)
    and actually got a cmos checksum bad error one of the last times i was able to boot up

    well apparently it seems as if that might have been part of the issue, but it still wasnt fully resolved. I actually did have a 7200 1TB seagate drive in there that was plugged in to the psu but not connected via sata because i didnt want to make the mistake of wiping it. i unplugged the power from it and it booted up to the bios screen where ( i know i had previously set it to internal video after i took out the card ) it read pcie so then i changed that, rebooted and proceeded to install windows 7 ultimate.
    so i sucessfully install it all the way through but now it freezes every so often and actually got a bsod it memory dumped and restarted. it just randomly restarts like when i try to get my experience rating, and other stuff. i was able to install all the latest drivers and everything so im not exactly sure whats going on here.. could it be the PSU? or could it have something to do with my ram not being compatable or not being ran at the right voltage or other setting?
    I did a few different PSU calculators and none of them even came close to needing 700 w and i even selected 2 physical cpus just to see if that would push it over.. and i also ran my old system with no probs on it although it was only a dual core ddr2.
    I also have a front panel sound blaster x-fi plugged in
    Also the cpu temp is 30-34c every time i check in bios, so i dont think its a heat prob
