New builder with a problem-MSI FM2-A85XA-G65-Corsair400R Case

I am a first time builder and I am having a bit of a problem with the front panel connections. My mother board came with adapters for the JFP1 and JFP2 on the MOBO so I can connect to the adapters and then to the motherboard.
My motherboard manual said most of the front panel connectors would connect to JFP1.
Connected to the JFP1
HDDLED
Power Switch
Reset Switch
The adapter has left 2 pins FP PWR/SLP
I have left 2 single wires +PLED and a -PLED
The JFP2 has a S LED and a PLED
I am a bit lost here these are the last of the wires I need to connect and it doesn't seem very intuitive to me at all. I might have to post pictures because my motherboard manual is confusing me on this one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
MSI FM2-A85XA-G65 is the motherboard.

Thanks for the help. Why wouldn't the m connector have it labeled PLED? They label it FP PWR/SLP. The manual clearly shows pins 2 and 4 I got that. The labeling on the m connector through me off.
I see that now going thru a bag I have with some of those M-connectors. Those are the 2 pins to use for the PLED. If the LED doesn't light up connected one way on those pins then simply reverse the 2 wires and then it will light up when power is on. If you connect them the wrong way 1st time around and it doesn't light up it won't damage anything by the way.

Win8 won't boot after MB firmware update on FM2-A85XA-G65

Config: MSI FM2-A85XA-G65 motherboard with APU plus an ASUS Radeon 6670 card for dual graphics. As per AMD recommendation the monitor DVI cable is plugged into my IGP (it has the higher product number: 7660 vs. 6670). SATA set to RAID mode and RAID set to Legacy ROM.
I've installed Win8, and everything works fine up until I flash my MB firmware from version 1.1 (it was shipped with this version) to 1.6.
At that point I am able at most to get to a windows error screen that shows up only shortly before automatic system reset, and shows a sad smiley and some error message.
Also in 1.6 I've found a firmware menu named "Windows 8 Configuration" which wasn't there in 1.1. If I started with enabled win8 features in that menu, I got a firmware error immediately after the first reset and boot, saying that my video card doesn't support GOP so no win8 features can be enabled.
After 2 hours of pointless try-and-fail I went back to firmware version 1.1 and booted my Windows successfully.
Any ideas about what could have went wrong?

No, UEFI booting is not needed. None the less Win8 features of the UEFI which have been included in later versions aren't supported without a GOP vbios. If you are fine with that then all is ok. If you want Win8 features it would require getting another vga.

As for the problem being the RAID - it speaks against it that a Windows error screen appeared. Also I didn't mention, but my system disk is set up as RAID-Ready, because that was the only way to have both a mirror for data and a single disk for Windows. That means there is no RAID-magic on that boot disk, it should work. And as I entered the RAID setup menu with 1.6, I could see both logical drives.
To be honest that is what would happen if a RAID ROm update troubles Windows and that is why it works with original version you set up Windows with.

FM2-A85XA-G65 Wake On LAN (linux)

Greetings!
Picked up a FM2-A85XA-G65 and dropped in an A6-5400K to run my home server/media box. I put in 16 GB RAM and it is working well with Fedora 18. This is a cost effective low power system with 8 SATA ports and HDMI, and it is working well.
But I can't get it to wake on LAN.
I think I have the OS configured properly. The BIOS is not real obvious in my opinion. And as it is not a Windoze box, I can't use the utilities which might give me greater control.
Any help? I am still plugging away and will post here as I progress.
Dave

Does this help?

I don't use Linux on mine because my home media server is a Raspberry Pi, but I found that link and thought it may help.

MSI FM2-A85XA-G65 Post Error

Hi,
I bought components to assemble into a PC. I connected every cable double checked each connection, tried the build out of the case and what I'm getting is blank screen. Vga output is active with blank screen. Also tried a different monitor with HDMI output. Also Tried a CMOS reset.
Tried Memory banks in different combinations standrad build has all 4 banks full. CPU heats up and is probably working.
Although I bought the components 13 days ago (28/10/2013) I have the feeling the Richland problem is still around or might it be the memory not working at the default voltage of 1.5V.
Here are the components:
AMD A10 6700
MSI FM2-A85XA-G65
Memory 4X4GB Kingston Technology HyperX Beast DDR3-1866MHz
Corsair Neutron GTX 240GB CSSD-N240GBGTXB-BK
NO extra Video Card
Western Digital WD Caviar Green
Any ideas? shouldn't the MB already come out of the box with the 2.0 BIOS by now?
Best regards
Maurizio

no it wont be compatible at all! it only supports FM2 CPU's!

AMD Trinity A10-5800K with MSI FM2-A85XA-G65! OC'ed on Air

Here is something to share with you guys today, the new APU “Trinity” Processor together with the latest FM2 Socket Motherboard from MSI “FM2-A85XA-G65”.
Let us start with the Trinity. The APU’s cores are composed of 2nd Generation Bulldozer core or called “Piledriver”. Available in Quad or Dual Core with a 32nm die size and natively supports DDR3 frequency up to 1866mhz. The built-in DX11 graphics is updated which is now 7XXX (Northern Islands) series. HD Media playback is smoother while reducing power draw. Display Port is now implemented with these new APUs which in total you can have 3 dedicated display outputs (HDMI and DVI included).
In this short review I will be using one of the four Trinity (A10/A8/A6/A4) line, specifically the A-10 5800K. The letter “K” means unlocked multiplier and makes overclocking easier, basically same with Intel’s K series concept.
Specifications of the A-10 5800K APU:
•AMD Radeon Graphics Brand: HD 7660D
•Total Draw Power: 100W
•AMD Radeon Cores: 384
•GPU Clock Speed: 800MHz
•CPU Cores: 4
•CPU Clock (Max Turbo/Base): 4.2GHz / 3.8GHz
•Total Cache: 4MB
•Max DDR3: 1866
•AMD Turbo Core 3.0: Yes
*Virgo Platform = A-Series Trinity APU + FM2 Socket A85X chipset motherboard
Moving on, we now go to the FM2 motherboard model named “FM2-A85XA-G65”. So what is the main advantage of this A85X chipset against the previous A75? The A85X chipset has additional 2x SATA 6GB/s Ports and native Crossfire support while the rest remains the same as the A75, with 4x USB 3.0, 10x USB 2.0 and 2x USB 1.1 ports.
MSI designed this with Military Class III components ensuring the best quality, durability and power efficiency to the motherboard. These components are the Solid Capacitors, Super Ferrite Choke and Hi-c Capacitors and they passed the 7 Test Quality Military Standard. The board is also equipped with OC Genie II feature which automatically overclocks the installed processor, the built-in graphics and as well the memory module once enabled in the UEFI Bios.
Product Showcase:
Better VRM and SB heatsink design. Components and sockets are neatly laid out too.
On the left side of the memory slots, you have the Easy Buttons which are the OC Genie, Power and Reset. Below that is V-Check Points which measures accurately the voltages of the CPU, CPU PLL and RAM using a digital multi-meter.
3x PCIEx1 2.0, 2x PCIEx16 Gen2 (x16, x8), 2x PCI slots.
8x SATA 6GB/s ports. RAID 0/1/5/10 capable
Left to Right: PS2 Combo Port with Keyboard/Mice auto sense. Realtek RTL8111E Gigabit LAN Port. 4x USB 2.0. VGA and HDMI Port. Digital Optical SPDIF. HDMI and Display Ports. 2x USB 3.0 and integrated Realtek ALC892 8 Channel Audio.
Lastly the bundled accessories:
• Driver Utility Disc
• Certificate of Quality and Stability
•Motherboard manual and Quick Guide for hardware installation
•Software & Application Manual
•I/O Backplate
•2x SATA 6GB/s Data Cables
•Easy Header Guide
•V-Check Point Connector Cables
Now for the Test System Configuration:
•Processor: A-10 5800K 3.8Ghz
•Memory: Kingston HyperX 2x4GB DDR3 2133MHz
•CPU Cooler: Stock AMD Heatsink Fan
•Hard Drive: Seagate Momentus XT 500GB
•PSU: Aerocool VP 700w
•Softwares: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, Futuremark Bench Softwares, Heaven DX11, CPU-Z, Hwmonitor
Curious on the performance of the Trinity’s built-in graphics? Below are some test results.
1st Set @ all stock speed
3dmark06 – 7687
Vantage – P5291
3dMark11 – P1250

How about if we increase the speed of the 5800K to at least 4.5 to 4.6GHz? Answer: Still, there is performance gain!!!

That’s it for the short review but before that here are my last words for the new Virgo Platform. The built-in 7660D graphics performs well and beats all the IGP from Intel. Increasing the speed of the memory module will certainly boost the performance of the Trinity’s IGP. I also noticed that with Trinity, it’s easier to overclock compared from the previous Llano APU.
So Intel’s i3, watch your back and Trinity is here.
Thanks….

Extremely Unhappy with FM2-A85XA-G65 Raid setup

I was going to setup a Raid5 array on my new FM2-A85XA-G65 but it seems to really be an unusable mess. I have updated to latest 1.7 Bios and got no improvement. I am loading Windows Server 2012 Essentials on this machine so UEFI is a must and there for Legacy Raid is out. There was supposed to be an improved way to set up an UEFI Raid 5 array in this new BIOS but I don't see squat. Setting the Legacy Raid seems to be the only way to get into the board's Raid setup but as I said that is a none starter. I had read elsewhere that the 1.7 Bios allowed UEFI Raid setup from the Bios menus (which is how it should be with a board boasting easy graphical UEFI setup) but there appears to be no such thing.
Extremely unhappy and thinking of returning this board. I've currently setup the Raid5 array using the Windows Server 2012 and it seems to work fine but I assume the motherboard based Raid would have significantly better performance, correct?
How much better performance should the motherboard based Raid be, and has anyone got Windows 2012 Server to load on Legacy Raid?
Is anyone using AMD Raid Expert with this Motherboard's native Raid setup?
Is the new Storage Spaces feature in Windows Server 2012 a better option than Raid5?

Quote
Is there any other way to fix it?
Not without a Trinity cpu. Alternatively ask reseller or MSI to flash it for you.
Quote
For example: can I get an old FM1 CPU from a friend to test it?
Of course not. You need a FM2 cpu. FM2 and 1 aren't compatible.
Quote
And what can you tell me about the memory?
Will it work on this board?
Those sticks are ment for Intel systems (http://www.kingston.com/datasheets/KHX21C11T2K2_8X.pdf) but they will most likely work with safe settings. Don't expect them to go anywhere near 2133. First that would be oc as your cpu's mem controller supports just up to 1866. Secondly because the ram is meant for Intel system's it might even with oc not work at the same settings/speeds it would work on Intel systems it is specified for.

FM2-A85XA-G65 with only 4 pin PWR connector inserted?

MSI FM2-A85XA-G65 has 8pin PWR connector on the board, but my PSU only provides a 4pin one.
Will this MOBO be fully functional with only 4pin PWR connector inserted or not?
Thank you.

Using an 4 pin PWR connector instead of an eight pin works (as said before) if psu is powerful enough for the system. If SS-400 is depends on your system (which surely does not consist of just a mainboard.

FM2-A85XA-G65 bios urgent!!!

Hi! Somebody with a FM2-A85XA-G65 mainboard can PLEASE extract the latest bios (2.3) and send me only the bin? I'm going to flash the bios using a SPI flasher and I need the correct rom file!
Really thanks guys! :D

here it is.

MSI FM2-A85XA-G65 Kaveri Compatibility

i have the MSI FM2-A85XA-G65 running with A10-5800k , i want to upgrade to kaveri , i've reaed some posts that Kaveri has some backwards compatibility with some FM2 motherboards , i wanna know if i can use it with my FM2-A85XA-G65. Thanks

FM2+ CPU has 2 more pins than FM2 and socket has 2 added holes for the Kaveri.

MSI FM2-A85XA-G65 + Richland

hello,
I have purchased an MSI FM2-A85XA-G65 and was looking into getting a richland CPU, but i noticed on the MSI website under bios updates that a trinity CPU was required to upgrade the bios. i wanted to know if having a trinity cpu for the upgrade is required ?

If they say you need to use a Trinty to update then you don't have any other way to do it yourself. As far as I know only the A4-4000 is available at this time and to update BIOS you would need to get a Trinity and the lowest priced one (X2 340) is the same price at newegg as the A4-4000 at $45.
I take it you want Richland mainly because of integrated graphics?

MSI FM2-A85XA-G65 system date & time issue

Hello everyone!
I have a MSI FM2-A85XA-G65 motherboard with an AMD 5800K processor. The date and time won't save in the bios. Sometimes it will sometimes it won't. The system will save for a few reboots, Then when I again enter the bios a different date and time will appear.
I have reset the cmos and have removed the battery with the same results. Other than that the board appears fine. Any help or ideas?

It appears to be a Linux UTC UEFI coordinated thing. So I think all is well. The correct time is on the desktop after all and all other settings remain.

I'm wondering if anyone has noticed frequent crashing of apps that never crashed before, error messages in their internet connections, and anything else that just doesn't seem right?

Hoe can I securely recycle iMac with blank screen - should I remove the hard drive, and anything else?

My iMac died after 8 years - blank screen, loud fan noise, no way to erase personal info. To recycle should I remove hard drive, and anything else?

Removing the hard drive should suffice. Use Google to find takeapart instruction, using you iMac's processor description in the search.
At eight years old, it is probably a G4 (the "desk lamp" style with an articulated display arm and white hemispherical base). So the search string would be "iMac G4 takeapart." If it turns out to be some other processor, simply substitute that processor (G3 or G5) for "G4."
