Another X79A-GD65 (8D) Problem

My board will post with two sticks of memory in the first two black slots. Adding another to third slot it will not post and has a error code 67. It also restarts and does the same thing in a continuous loop. My memory sticks are fine since they all work in black slots one and two.

An updated reply. Yesterday, I had this same behavior & DeBug error code 67 when testing different RAM modules. The mainboard seems to be rather RAM sensitive on what works & what will not.
So far, these three Corsair types work. More than one kit was used to come up with a Quad configuration, all from the same production batch though. CMX12GX3M3B1600C9, CML8GX3M2A1600C9W, & somewhat success with the 32GB kit CMZ32GX3M4X1866C10. The best the 32GB kit will run is 1333, as the tRFC is limited on this mainboard to reach the required 1866 setting specifications.
It seems to thrive exceedingly well on the Low Profile Low Voltage RAM, & at better settings than the manufacturer's published ratings & specifications.
As with any system, results can vary!
DRAM voltage settings AB/CD 1.355/1.355

X79A -GD65 (8D) problem

X79A - GD65 (8D)
having problems i have just built my pc - I need to know, if the ATX 4 power socket jpwr3 needs a power lead connected to it from the psu, if i dont connect i get 3 beep codes 1 long 2 short which i think means no graphics but not sure also, if i do connect up i to psu everything runs, all the fans run and i have no warning debug lights come on, but i get no beep from the bios as if the motherboard is dead or cpu is dead whati need to know is that if the graphics card does not work will i still get the bios beep code if the cpu works. if not then my machine has died

X79A-GD65 8D problem with built in BIOS utilities (browser, etc)

Good day. I have my X79A-GD65 8D running for about a week now paired with i7 3930k. The board is working wonderfully, however there is just one issue. After installing winki from the cd and returning to the bios to use the built in browser or MSI live update, the white splash screen appears for a while and shortly after a black screen appears and remains.
Ive tried leaving the disc in the drive and have the browsre run directly from the CD but still no luck. I've also borrowed the install DVD of a friend of mine who has an identical board but it still doesnt work.
Please note that I am on the latest BIOS, version 1.7.
Any help will be appreciated.

Must be talking about Winki? The Software Application User Guide covers it pretty well how it all works and such. Using Live Update is not recommended to be installed or used. Do all UEFI/BIOS updates and driver updates manually from the downloaded files available at the MSI Websites.

X79A-GD65 (8D) another error in DIMM ? after MSIHQ error 654...

Hello, on my, X79A -GD65(8d) , is it possible that a DDR slot , namely the dimm7 is"dead" ?
Let me explain: I have long been a lot of 4x4 strips corsair ddr lp case 9 9 9 24; famous CML16GX3M4A1600C9 in position DIMM 1, 3, 5 , 7 . For some time I had unwanted BSOD , even after rounding the intel rapid storage tech ... I flash my bios remained in 1.8, version 4.7 and ME 8, as you know . So I made a memtest without removing the bars , I got a good red train errors. So I've tested one by one in DIMM1 position , one of the bars was dead. I had an exchange as lifetime warranty , replace new in the same places , and for the sake of rigor, recovery memtest . And rebelotte , an error in red train. Annoyed , I test each new modules in DIMM1 position and then, no error , the 4 bars are goods. Well ...
I give a quick vacuum with a fine brush for dusting. I replace, restart my stuff , and bam, another BSOD after a few minutes. that was yesterday.
This morning I rekindled my stuff and now it boots loop with error code 67 ( which corresponds to " late cpu initialization" ... : pt1cable : , if I view the tiny panel lED on the motherboard ( did I read in common sense ? .
oookkkkkk... Intuition torments me , I cut the power supply , remove the strip in DIMM7 position, the others are in position 1, 3, 5, and back on the thing . After a buckle boots , he finally starts on the F1 panel proposal to return ds bios setting for 3 bars , and after, boot on Windows 7, normally.
So questions:
- What can a ddr slot is dead?
- Can i put my 4 modules DDR DIMM in position 1 , 3, 5 , 7 ( DIMM 2, 4 , 6, 8 for example, or 1, 2 , 3, 4 ? ) ?
Note that I use the XMP profile bars , which prevents me from doing a manual setting that I 'm not sure to succeed perfectly ... And I check the profile gives me good specifications barrettes, I found in CPU -Z.
My card is obviously no longer under warranty as purchased in March 2012 ...
thank you and good week if you read me tomorrow ... ;-)

I removed all the hardware, I checked the status of the socket pins , I do not see any damaged pins , I put together the CPU and the heatsink , put the mobo on a cardboard box , plugged the video card, keyboard, mouse and makes a clear cmos . After a restart with 4 DIMM modules in position 1, 3 , 5, 7 I always get the error code 67. I placed the strips in position DIMM 1, 2, 3, 4, and the mobo has booted, I could go into the bios redo my settings ( including: XMP enabled). CPU- Z actually gives me 4 bars connected in dual bios, but it works ... I do not know why dimm7 no longer works . There is a set of two LEDs on each side of cpu leds "DDR phase" both are on the left (DIMM1 side 4), one is on the right (side dimm 5-8).
This is the second motherboard MSI X79A - GD65 ( 8D ) in two years , the first having had another problem a year after purchase, one I also dates a year. I've never even used the OC buttons (2 radeon hd 7950 provide me to do), I do photo and video editing, I work with it for associations and i play games. Nothing particularly stressful.
I have a GA- X48T -DQ6 with a core 2 quad Q9550 for 6 years, I've asked a lot and now my son uses it with pleasure. I never had any problems with it. I still have two Asus : A7N8X Deluxe and A8N sli deluxe with their Athlons , my wife has an Asus M2N -E SLI ... I mounted these motherboards, and they work perfectly .
I am somewhat annoyed... Mmm... ("très en colère" we say in french) by this MSI card and I think frankly that the price / quality ratio is not in his favor.
Thanks .

MSI x79a-gd65 (8d) pci problem

Hello i have an issue that i need some help with.
I have the X79a-gd65(8D) MOBO, and my system works normal overall. So now i used in the past a soundcard on my previous system: Auzentech x-Meridian 7.1 2g. But it was broke, and in the meantime i bought my new system + these cards are not easy to get in the Netherlands. But recently i got an hold on it again, but forgot that this card uses the old pci connector, and there are none on this MOBO.
So i searched for an PCIe > PCI connector. Got that now, all good u say. But sadly it won't work, bcs the bridge is detected in Windows. But if i connect the card to it, the mobo won't boot properly. It keeps hanging on the 94 on the led, and there won't come any screen. According to the manual this code is for the PCI bus Initialization. What makes sense ofc.
However the soundcard is working properly on my older system, also if i try it with the bridge. So am confused here, and don't know what to do, so if there is someone that has ideas or suggestions to solve this (even if it was on another MOBO) let me know pls.
So summary:
MOBO = x79a-gd65(8d)
Soundcard = Auzentech X-Meridian 7.1 2g with the older pci connection, working
PCIe > PCI bridge (connected on the PCIe x1 connector)
Windows 7 64bit Ultimate, does detect the bridge if standalone
But once soundcard is connected Mobo won't boot properly, no screen available bcs of this, and the led hangs on number 94 (PCI Bus Initialization)
Sorry for typo's, no native English.

Using a bridge messes with the pci clock. This affects audio output (skipping and the likes). It happens on every platform that uses a pci>pcie bridge under specific circumstances and it can't be fixed. The only real solution is to get another sound card.
The meridian is one hell of a card but it requires native pci support, without bridging, to work properly.
x79 supports pci, but pci is a legacy internal slot standard. Unlike external devices that you might still use on your new PC (like firewire cameras and the likes) you normally get newish internal devices.
Anyway, some recent pcie offerings from ASUS and Creative are semi-decent, but the only noteworthy sound cards currently on the market are the Soundblaster ZxR and the Asus Xonar Phoebus (including the solo version which lacks the extras). Those 2 are even be better than the meridian when it comes to sound quality.
Also, you could ebay the Meridian since a lot of people who want supreme audio on legacy systems will want to get one, even if overpriced. You could then use the money to buy one of the above.
My suggestion is to keep the Meridian for your old system since it's hard to get a good reliable pci sound card for cheap these days. But you'll of course need the $ to get a card for the new system.
Maybe iam just lucky, but for me it al works like an charm. No stuttering or delays, and it just works great, and hearing the sound i used to have like 3-4 years ago I can really find no issues atm.
@ Froggy: I used this one bcs i wanted an extra slot just in case and a flexible cable http://www.delock.com/produkte/F_377_PCIe-x1_41341/merkmale.html?setLanguage=en. I have the CM Storm Trooper case and planned it originaly for an vertical opening this case has, so that my other PCIe slots would stay free and available for expanding if needed. Would be a close call, to see if it would reach the spot, but sadly not. Also have seen other ones from like Startech, but none that had an long flexible cable. There where a few on ebay from China with like 15 cm what would be long enough, but that would take several weeks for delivery. Also not fond of extending the flexible cable and solder it, bcs of the very likely signal loss then + it is a real job and u need minitiny equipement for it So if u want a flexible cable, make sure u get the right length cable. By some creative modding and some usable stuff i could fit it in my case. Only my mic entrance is not available bcs it's just in my case, but since i use the front panel for mic iam ok with it.
Just an headsup, that u make sure the cable's u need are proper O also, besides the 4pin flopy connector for the bridge, for this MOBO the 4 pin molex on the bottom beneath the last PCIe must be powered or it also causes issues. So for other mobo's that would have an power slot to get extra power to the PCIe slots, it might be required for stuff to work. That u don't remove it bcs u need the room if u have multiple cards and extra stuff....

X79A-GD65 (8D) dual bios flashing problem. One works, the other is bricked.

Hi guys,
First post but not excatly the right scenario I wanted to post under.
This all started when MSI updater decided out of no where to download and auto run the bios updater. Before I had a chance to close it, it had started the update process before I could close a number of program's that I was running. Obviously my windows decided to freeze on me. I had no choice but to reboot. On the restart my PC was stuck on a F2/F6 (could be F9) loop. So I switched to BIOS B and all was good in the world.
My attempts to recover BIOS A have been unsuccessful. I tried clearing the CMOS first, this caused the pc to reboot every ten seconds in instead of the auto recovery. I have yet to reach post yet. So I tried the forum flash method flipping the switch after the tool had loaded up back to A. No luck on 1.7 Or 1.7 beta 181. Done a mem test which ruled out the RAM as well. Not sure what to try next.
As stated before everything works fine on B, A must be super bricked or something. Either that or the forum flash method failed or I'm just doing it wrong.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Makes it risky for any future updating of the good chip without a second one to have as a safety net.
RMA is always an option. Should be no problem getting it covered under warranty.
I'm contemplating an RMA but i honestly feel it is more hassle then it's worth while it's working fine on B. I just won't bother updating the BIOS unless they release something which seriously effect's/help's me. This is the first motherboard i have had with a dual BIOS so i'm usually quite safe when it come's to updating things like this. Just my fault for a moment of stupidity.

X79A-GD65 (8D) booting 32GB problem

Hello guys i just buyed few days ago a new rig:
Intel i7 3930K socket 2011 six core C2 3.2 ghz

The problem is I cannot boot at all with all ram slots active although it says on msi site its compatible with this ram. What am I doing wrong here?
Please help thx in advance.

There are a good number of reasons the last dimm slot is not working. #1, there is a short or ground underneath the mainboard. Often caused by a standoff out of place. #2, you have a pin in the CPU socket that is bent. #3, CPU cooler is not mounted evenly. #4, faulty dimm slot, there is a problem with the dimm contacts in the slot, piece of foreign material or a contact finger damaged.
Good catch, I was only responding to the immediate question of how to increase dram v.

I'm having a problem with starting my computer, when i press the power button the fans spin, all the leds on the motherboard are blue.
During this starting phase off 10(+-)s on and 5 seconds off the motherboards debug led panel shows error 19, 60 and 53.
In the manual it is says: error 19: early south bridge initialization. Error 53: late Memory initialization. Error 60: as i see there is nothing that says
anything about error 60.
So i'm wondering how i can fix these problems.

Only add one memory module, i.e. remove the others for now. Then do a full CMOS clear with PSU power plug removed. >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Retry.

X79A-GD65 (8D) will not boot with 4930K or 3930K

Short version:
My system will not boot but gets stuck at "09 Power on South Bridge Initialization"
Detailed description:
I just bought this system and am when I tried to start it it got stuck at "09 Power on South Bridge Initialization". I have removed everything that is not necessary (gfx-card, HDDs, etc.) and only have the CPU and one memory stick inserted (in slot 1 as per the manual). I have also unplugged and put back all power cables from the PSU several times. I have also tried using BIOS A and B.
As I read on this forum that a BIOS update was needed for IVY-Bridge CPUs I bought a 3930K today to see if I could get the system up and running but it still gives me the same error code.
My board serial number is 601-7760-010B1312109204, assuming it is manufactured 1312 = December 2013.
I don't know the BIOS revision as I have never managed to get past the 09 status code.
Any ideas on what the problem could be?
Bought this monster PC as I have a delivery for a client in need of some RAM-heavy processing, so am really starting to feel stressed out about this by now.
Thanks in advance!

even compared to just 10 years ago sales staff have became really dumb as there just hiring people who do not care about anything as long as they get there cut of a sale (usually all they know is basic Consumer parts they stock) and nearly non of them unless they specialize in that level of equipment will have 0 idea what they work with on a pro level part (ECC memory tends to be used on servers and Professional workstations so if they do not use that type of gear then they probably have no idea what ECC really is at all)!
also in that time some major things have happened especially with computer parts like the memory controller moved from the Chipset to the CPU same with the SATA controller , onboard GPU (thats now on the CPU and some have it some don't) and alot of other things and I guess that the people you dealed with had no idea the memory support has very little to do with the board (all the board can do is have BIOS Timing sets now and lists of parts it supports) and is now to do with the CPU alot more as it has the important stuff on it (there very close to a SOC (System On Chip) now)!
if you plan on building another computer remember to do some research yourself before you get a CPU as it is nearly the most important thing of all and they have different features tied to them and do not expect sales guys to have a idea unless there also a Technical support staff member too and work on computers that are of the same class your trying to make and have at least used the same level gear (usually if your doing something like that find a friend who is a computer nerd tell him what your trying to do and get him to help you choose all the parts)!
let me know how it goes when you get the Xeon and have it installed?

I just bought it. Everything new (except the nvidia cards). I installed everything in the right slot according to the User Guide. I turn the computer on and their is no output, no signal to the screen, no beeps, no LED Post.
I've disassebled the computer and reassembled it again with different configurations, 1 stick of RAM with the PSU, processor, and video card. changed videocard. tested the video cards on my old computer and they worked.
Everything runs as they should; all fans spinn, even the graphics card fan, the LED lights "DRR PHASE" and "CPU I/O PHASE" are blue (can't see the CPU PHASE one because its covered by some Military Class thingy).. the only LED not showing is the HDD one, but since it doesnt even boot its not active. No warning LEDs or so...
I figure its the PSU, but 850W should work fine...
anyone with a clue?
thankfull for any help I can get

Quote from: KaizerKaizer on 10-March-12, 18:15:14
thanks for the help. There was no problem at all with the PSU after all, there seems to have been an incompabillity issue between x79a-gd65(8D) and Corsair TX850. I called the place where I bought my Corsair and asked I they ever tested it against my modell of MB, and they did not. I realized this endevour would continue untill end of mankind, and beeing so certain that it was an incomplabillity issue, I bought a Cooler Master PSU from another reseller...and it worked.
I don't know if anyone else has had this kind of problem before, but this was the solution for me.
Thanks again for all the help!
No problems with X79A-GD65(8D) here using a Corsair HX850, but, I did have trouble with a BB X II. Tried both a Corsair AX1200 and HX850. If the replacement mainboard acts the same, I have a Thermaltake here I can test with to rule out a compatibility theory. I can only guess the Corsair PSU you had had some odd intermittent function behavior & was faulty. I know the AX1200 & HX850 work, as I had them on other systems running with no problems.

MSI X79A-GD65 (8D) Boot error B2

I bought my ssystem last week. All hardware came in and I build it up.
This is the hardware I have:
Mainboard: MSI X79A-GD65 (8D)
CPU: Intel Core i7-3930K/3.2GHz 12MB LGA2011 Hexa-core
Case: Corsair CASE Graphite 600T
Power supply: Thermaltake SMART 650W/ 80plus
Cooler: Thermaltake Contac 39
SSD: Intel SSD 520 series 240GB
HDD: Seagate HI 3.5" 2TB Barracuda 7200RPM
Graphics: MSI N660Ti PE 2GD5/OC GTX660Ti
Memory: CORSAIR DDR3 1600MHz 16GB Kit 2x8GB Domi DDR3 - 240 pin - 1,5V - CL9 - 2x 8 GB Kit
DVD: DVD RW AD-5280 24x DL SATA Black Bulk 24x/24x - Serial ATA
The problem:
Everything looks fine all fans are spinning when I power on the computer. Keyboard lights up. I can even press del to enter setup.
I never get into setup though. It just displays error code B2 in the bottom right corner and a blinking cursor in the top left corner.
So always error B2. I see this error to on the LED's in the mainboard.
What I have tried:
- Boot the system with one memory module in Dimm socket 1
- Boot the system with on memory module in Dimm socket 3
- Place the graphic cards in another PCI-E socket
- Double checked the connector of the power on the graphic card, the mainboard, near the cpu and the graphic card power on the mainboard.
- Boot the system without any devices, just cpu, memory and graphic card.
- Reset the CMOS with the button on the back of the mainboard.
Can somebody help me solve my problem? I have no idea what to do anymore?
Oh: 1 thing just came to mind, I have connected all my system fans to my case instead of on my mainboard. I can manage the speed that way, can it have something to do that there is no Sysfan1 connected to the mainboard? (A bit far searched I guess).
Help would be much apreciated.

I just wanted to let the readers know that I found the problem.
I have tried to screw out my old Videocard and placed that in my new system. It booted without any problems.
The MSI Geforce GTX 660 Ti videocard caused my problem. I have read some things about this card to on the internet.
They tend to use to much power in this videocard so it can cause POST problems.
Here is some more info about it: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/MSI-GTX-660-670-overvolting-PowerEdition,18013.html
I hope this info helps other people to.

X79A-GD65 (8D) - Get stuck at 12x cpu ratio multiplier or 1200MHz

Hi all. Just wanted to see if anyone else observed this with the new X79 chipset motherboard and the 3930K or 3960X sandy bridge-e cpu.
When trying to overclock the motherboard in any way
1) CPU Ratio set to any number
2) Per Core Maximum ratio / multiplier
3) OC Genie II
and then trying a CPU stress utility such as Prime95
The CPU gets locked at 1200Mhz, or 12 x 100Mhz and never goes higher than that. At the same time, the temperature sensors believe the CPU is locked at 91 degrees celsius. So I believe on this bios version of 1.2 on the MS-7760 motherboard (X79A-GD65), it thinks 91 degrees is too hot, and never goes above 1200MHz. I've also tried OC Genie and manual overclocking at bios version 1.1, and I cannot go over 1200Mhz.
Only at stock speeds (no overclocking), with the 3930K, at full CPU load tests with Prime95, it does go to 3500Mhz, or 35 x 100, correctly.
Right now I cannot overclock at all, whether with OC Genie, or manual cpu ratio multipliers.
Tweaktown and HWBot and several other websites have observed this. I'm running the latest 1.2 bios, and still get stuck at 12x.
http://hwbot.org/forum/showthread.php?s=51e18bdfe400391d0955716a5c66343d&p=138647#post138647
http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/4423/msi_x79a_gd65_intel_x79_motherboard_review/index5.html

Scratch that. It was happy yesterday, but first boot of the morning today and back to stuck at 12x/91C. Will changing other voltages remedy this? I read something on a review website suggesting this was a problem with the actual 3930K/3960X chips, and not necessarily a motherboard issue.
If I raise my cpu base clock from 100 to 125 and use a 36 multiplier, the machine forces the memory to run at 2,000 MHz, which according to the SPD shown in bios should be OK, but I couldn't get it to boot like that. Is there anything I can change to allow the machine to work in that configuration?
Edit: Just read yet another OC review (this time on HardwareSecrets) and found the following:
"The “correct” way of overclocking Intel CPUs with Turbo Boost technology is to change the clock multiplier that each core will use when the Turbo Boost technology kicks in."
I just tried changing the core ratio limit for all six cores to 45, setting the cpu ratio to auto, and leaving the core voltage at 1.375V, and it seems to work again. Boots into Win7, coretemp displays correct temperatures, and when I load the cpu using prime95, it hits 4.5GHz. I will try setting core voltage to auto also so that the cpu doesn't stay at 1.375V at idle when not necessary. I'd still like to OC the memory in theory - not sure how much boost I'd get by running the memory above 1600 MHz. I'll be using this PC for some computational fluid dynamics, so every bit of speed I can eek out of it will be put to use.
Edit 2: Auto core voltage works, vcore drops to 0.840V at idle, and idle temps drop back down closer to room temperature (using an Antec Sonata Elite case with a Corsair H80 water cooler, so slightly less airflow than ideal but I have the case fans optimized for now by relocating the system blower fan to a drive bay and adding a 120mm fan in the lower drive bays pulling air out of the side of the case).

X79a-GD65 8D - Booting issue

Previously, I was having a few issues with my board. I was having the common error of CPU posting as well as memory issues. Since then, these have all mostly subsided.
X79A-GD65 (8d)
Apevia Warlock 1100w
Intel i7-3820
G Skillz 16GB (4x4)
EVGA nVidia 550 Ti (Fermi)
My current issue occurs at start up. When the computer has been turned off for some time, and I want to start it back up - it will not. In order to start up my computer, I have to hit the CMOS Reset on the back (on the io board) and then start up my computer. It's a minor inconvenience - but I shouldn't have to.
The board originally shipped with possibly Bios 1.0-1.1 (as stated by others, mine has a sticker with a red dot)..... I've since flashed to the latest (which I believe is 1.6 - successfully).
Any ideas as to why this is happening and how to remedy this?

Anyway I found my solution. I updated the board with a C1 3960X and found that my PSU were 8 pin cable were not working properly with this board, but starngely worked well with my other board (Gigabyte Z68X UD4), so I just swaped PSUs and I'm fine.
Thanks for the helps and forum tips!

No S.M.A.R.T. support on X79A-GD65?

Hello,
I can not find any informations about enabling SMART on the X79A-GD65 mainboard. I can not use monitoring for SSD drive if I don't enable it.
Thanks

Many "monitoring tools" are unable to access SMART data when the SATA controller is running in AHCI mode. This is not so much an UEFI/BIOS problem but a restriction of the given tool. Google "AHCI S.M.A.R.T." to find out what I am talking about.
Thanks. Can I switch from AHCI to IDE mode without any problems (Windows 7 installed)? Will this lead to some notable performance decrease?

X79a-gd65 (8D) won't pass bios

Hi,
I'm back again with my x79a-gd65 (8D)...I did a stupid thing I tested the "OC genie Software" from inside windows 7...
The program asked me to reboot so it could complete OC setup - so I did. It passed BIOS, loaded Windows login. Then I revieced an error when logging in (something and userenv.dll), then getting a black screen (apperently "logged in"). Hit "ctrl+alt+del" and logging out, then "shut off".
Started it up, passed BIOS, I got the choice to Repair Windows or Start Normal. Trying Repair Windows first, it loads the files, then straight back to the choice again Repair Win or Norm... Testing start without repair i got a Blue Screen, reboot, and back to the choice after passing BIOS.
Shut off my computer, killed the PSU, switched on the PSU and then my computer. Now it doesn't pass BIOS check, I recieve a debug code "B2" (Legacy Option ROM Initialization)...
I've had the same setup since i bought it 14 months ago with no problems before this.
Any ideas? I'm in panic mode atm.

Perform a full cmos clear of the bios and re-test.
Remember that when you are done you are going to need to re-set the Hard drive mode (IDE / AHCI / RAID) etc.
