GNB MAX(6565) NO POST

My MOBO worked fine for 2 months.
Now it's dead.
D-Bracket have lead 1-4 red.
Manual says:
"Processor Initialization
-This will show information regarding the processor
(like brand name,system bus,etc...)"
Anyone knows what it means?

Hi
I tried all slots and one ram at a time, but still get beep sound. So I just ordered crucial memory 2x 512MB DDR PC2700 • CL=2.5 • Unbuffered • Non-parity • 6ns • 2.5V • 64Meg x 64. I hope their high quility and reliable RAMs will solve this problem.
My VGA card is eVGA GF4 Ti4200 8X 128MB DDR.
I will post the result of crucial's ram.
Thank you for your help.

Anyone got "GOOD" sound out of GNB-Max 6565?

Hello,
I'm getting a very lousy sound out of my 6565. I tried all options such as with or without the S connector, 2, 4, and 6 channels, all possible inputs, different hardaware acceleration levels, etc.
The sound output is bad, and the microphone doesn't detect anything. I've noticed that many people were having the same problem. Does this mean that this MB requires a special speaker system? Can't I use two speakers like old times and get stereo sound out of them without any software/hardware tweaks?
Thanks for any help?

I have the same board but I didn't even try onboard sound. My experience with onboard sound on other boards has made me just start with a good pci sound card (sound blaster audigy). Every onboard sound I have tried either sounded bad or worse. If the board had a creative chip on it you may get medium quality. Don't waste money on new speakers to use with the onboard sound, spend the money on a soundcard. Of coarse if money is not an issue you could buy both.

My final thoughs on the GNB-MAX 6565

tech support sucks, no replies to my questions regarding the fsb reported wrong, plus the high voltage nearly frying my cpu.
plus why is the latest bios v2.1 when my motherboard is v2.2 or is this just how long msi take to update the website, like the live update thing how up to date is that i mean whats the point of having it if its months out of date, i might aswell search myself for updated drivers.
the bluetooth bracket is the biggest misleading so called "feature" of the board, it don't give you bluetooth full stop you still have to buy a damn bluetooth dongle or card at extra cost to have bluetooth capability that plugs into any usb slot you don't have to have a special bracket, i won't be actually taking any action but in my opinion that claim is very misleading and i think msi could be sued for false advertising.
oh btw my mobo is working 100% now i love it apart from.
1. msi support sucks.
2. misleading bluetooth capability.
3. very slow and totally useless msi update program.
4. high powered fans blow the fan headers on the board.
5. flakey bios problems.
lets hope msi's support staff read the forum (maybe they) and try to sort out there problems with there products that we pay good money for

Hardware has gotten to a point that there is typically less than 1% difference between competing manufacturers per a particular chipset. That being the case, consumers are looking for "value added" aspects to make their decisions. With MSI, there is little in the way to that. Support for this board is abysmal. Fussy Logic, PCAlert 4, and even Promise drivers are buggy at best. The so called bluetooth option is in reality nothing without purchasing the dongle. Yes, it's mentioned somewhere in the fine print. But in larger print, it is obvious that MSI intended for the buyer to believe that he was getting an operational bluetooth option. In addition, you can't simply gloss over the fact that the board, with the CORRECT settings in bios, VOIDS INTELS WARRANTY. In case you haven't checked lately, P4 3.06s sell for over $600. That's one hell of a mistake, especially since MSI doesn't seem to be rushing to correct it. With all of the downloads, patches, research, tweaking, etc..etc..etc... , I figure I got paid about $2 per hour to build this thing.

3.06 vcore and gnb max 6565

Optimal vcore for this cpu? 1.525 or 1.55?
First time I saw the bios the setting was 1.525 but the fail safe settings and the optimal settings recommend the 1.55 core.

look at the box that came with your processor it will be writen there most of the 3.06 have multi vid so 1.55 or 1.525 doesnt matter as long as u dont reach 1.7v

I,ve surched the web and have seen no real solution.
ANY sugestions??
Thanks

Well...Its morning to me...work 3rd shift.
Anyway. I put the Antec550 in because I thought maybe the BFG FX5600
wasn't getting enough juice. My old power supply only had two molex
line and the antec has 3. So I could use one molex line just for the video card.
Well that was a no go.
Now I 'm just leaving my puter on all the time.
I'm thinking either I have a bad install of the video drivers, or
the video card has bad memory.
No problems before installing the BFG5600.
Was just hoping someone could give me a clue on the "agp440.sys" Error.
Called BFG and they told me that the GranetBay (GNB Max) boards
have issues with the new "FX" video cards.

MSI 6565 GNB Max SATA problem

Hi I have just picked up a 6565 Gnb Max board, P4 2.4 ,533FSB MAxtor 120 Gb SATA HDD, Asus FX5200 Card, 1 gig Twinmos 266 DDR,
I cannot get the mobo to recognise the SATA HDD, there is nothing in the bios where I can turn on the SATA controller
(Integrated Peripherals) can anybody help?

I'm having the same problems.
GNB-Max board, Seagate 120GB SATA and Seagate 60GB PATA w/ SATA adaptor.
Regardless of how I connect the drive(s) to the Promise controller, they are not recognised. I've tried the 120GB on it's own on both SATA connectors, the 60GB on it's own and paired on the SATA connectors, and the 60GB on it's own on the PATA (IDE3) connector. At no point in time does the Promise controller dialogue even display during boot, so I can not configure the drive(s). I've tried the 60GB as master, slave and cable select in all scenarios.
The BIOS shows SATA enabled, and I've upgraded to the latest (2.30) BIOS, as well as trying older (2.0 & 2.1) BIOS revisions. All show the same symptoms.
Can anyone shed any light on how you get the Promise controller dialogue to show, or how to overcome the problem? I'd really like to get the 120GB drive working as my boot drive so I can reuse the current PATA drives elsewhere.

MSI GNB Max (MS-6565): insufficient voltage

I have just installed my new GNB Max, and got XP Pro up and running. Upon installing PC Alert 4, I recieved a warning that the +3.3V was actually sub 3V(2.9+V). What effect will this have? And what kind of Variance should I tolerate?
Many thanks.

My GNB Max + Antec true power 430 read 3.33.
Sounds like a power supply not handling the load.
Acceptable tolerance in the PC industry is +-5% (3.135 is therfor the lower limit)

MSI GNB FISR 6565-010

I just ordered all of my parts to build my new work station.
I am getting a little confused with the DDR situation. Many of the reports on the MB that I have read used the PC2700 ...333Mhz DDr's. Are the boards still only approved to run PC1600's and PC2100's?? What can I expect if I use PC2700's?? I was going to install some high quality OCZ's that were matched....4...256's PC2700.
Also the latest Deluxe version of the board should be coming with ATA 133 and FireWire also??
I am all ears...please send advice.Thanks

As you can see i am running just below the 4gig mark on bandwidth. I stuck some 3500s in dual channel set (got a deal and I am waiting to see whether I need to buy another board to use) and the results did not change. So i would say that you should go with 2700 so as to give yourself plenty of headroom on the ocing.

GNB Max temps and worries

Okies, I have a question / problem... maybe?
My MB, after being turned off for 30 minutes, on bootup, going DIRECTLY into the Bios, shows, under PC Health, a temp of 51C and climbs to 57..varying to..58.
Now I have the 3.06 GHZ Intel chip.
(No, I really don't care about anyone else's temp if they are overclocking or using something like a 2.4)
No overclocking anything.
Bios 2.2 and I did as Asaaf suggested and changed the thingys to 134 and 1.525.
I have an Alpha PAL8942 - which is supposed to be a decent heatsink on the P4.
IS THIS NORMAL / USUAL or not? If not, then should I take the sink off and re-apply the Artic Silver and try for "better"?
Oh, and MB temp is at 41C. - But I didn't mess with tha because the fan came on the MB attached.
Thank you in advance for your response.

I have had the same problems. The cpu temperature was about 52c when the using was idle.
When the using was more then 80% the temperature was rising in some secons over the 75c.,after replace the cooler there where no more problems. He was not realy good placed on the cpu
Now the temperature is between 46c and 52c.

GNB Max-L do not power USB

Hi folk!
Recently I has problem. My motherboard GNB2 Max-l (BIOS updated to v2.3) do not give power (5V) to modem connected to USB port (modem not have external power supply and power get from USB). After I power on PC USB LED on modem lighting, but operating system (Windows XP Pro) do not see modem. Support modem manufacturer speak that modem could get power before PC power on. I try some set in BIOS but result was without change. And for modem work properly I need disconnect USB cable from modem and after connect one more. I try on other 2 PC and after some set in BIOS all work properly.
Please advise me way for solving problem.
With kind regards yup.

GNB-MAX-FISR Heat Solution

Thanks to a previous post and some other help, I think I've finally fixed my overheating problem (although MSI has yet to return my call.)
The GNB Max-FISR board defaults the Voltage under the "Frequency/Voltage Control" to 1.75. Apparently the max for the 3.06 Intel chip is 1.5.
Also, I had not applied thermal compound to the chip when attaching the heat sink.
After performing both functions the chip running full out hangs out around 60 degrees C. This information REALLY should be in FAQ!!!

it is a 350W power supply..
The DBraket reports all red in 1,3,4 and a green in 2.. the manual claims that the system will hang there if the memory module is bad or installed improperly..
i can't imagine that the memory is bad, since it's brand spanking new.. and i've seated and reseated them a thousand times..
do I have the wrong memory?
I have DDR266 PC2100.. the manual seems to suggest that it might only support DDR533 or DDR400..

Bluetooth in GNB-Max FISR

Hello Everyone,
Has anyone in this NG used the onboard bluetooth interface with success?
It's not clear in the MB documentation if the onboard Bluetooth chip is ready to communicate with surrounding Bluetooth devices, or it requires an extra piece of hardware. I installed the Bluetooth software, and configured it, but it still doesn't communicate with my other GNB-Max FISR desktop via Bluetooth.
I'd appreciate it if anyone can post the part/model number for any additional devices to make bluetooth work on this MB.
Thanks!

Hi,
I've got the Bluetooth Extension working in my Computer. I had to order it by mail - it cost me about $25 (which is cheaper than a regular USB dongle). It worked without problems, the antenna even extends the working radius quite a bit. The driver (which you have to download - no disk included!) is a regular WIDCOMM stack. No PAN or headset operation with this driver(yet).
You should be looking for:
MSI MS Bluetooth Transceiving Module for
845E-MAX und 845E-MAX2 Series
Part Number: MS-6968 (6967 is the USB dongle)
The only real problem is that it takes up a slot in the back of the pc and has a strange layout that makes it difficult (at least in my case) to fit it without scratching the board. But I had these problems with the other MSI Brackets as well. Please, MSI, make them thinner!!
Cheers.

GNB Max-SR......What Video Card??

What video card upgrade.....MSI-FX-5600-VTD256 or what?
Running the MS-6565(v2) GNB Max with Bios 2.2.
1g Kingmax in duel mode
P4-2.53
MSI-G4Ti4600 agp4x
Thinking it's time for a DX9 card.
Thinking about the Radeon 9600 Pro but I
here there are problems with the GNB and
Radeon cards.
Thanks
Jutias

The Ti4600 will trash the FX5600 in any situation and the Radeon9600 in most situations.
If you want to upgrade the minimum that would be considered an upgrade is a Radeon9700, but a 9800/ 9800 pro/ FX5900F/ FX5900U are better choices.
You can also wait since the Ti4600 can run pretty much anything on the market right now with AA at a reasonable frame rate, and upgrade towards the begining of 2004 when the 2'nd generation of DX9 cards starts shipping (these are the estimates right now).

Very high temp. with GNB MAX

Hello, i have a problem with my MSI GNB MAX motherboard and my p4 3,06 ghz
My cpu temperatures are very high, with a maximum of 85/86c,,, is this normal??
Anyone else having a similar problem like this?
MSI GNB MAX (ms-6565) motherboard
P4 3,06 ghz processor with standaard p4 cooler
1024 mb DDR 266 mhz (dual) memory
Geforce 4 mx videocard

Promedium Mars case with a total of 6 fans
(not overclocked)

If Vcor is 1.4 (I'm running 1.525 but reads 1.47 in PCAlert), AND fsb is set for 134, AND your HSF is running AND has good contact, there is no way for it to be that hot. The stock HSF is a pretty good part. I would suggest getting a temperature probe and touching it to the base edge of the HSF to see if you are really that hot. In Bios, I have the cut off threshold at 65C and alarm at 63C. I dont know the exact conversion but 86C is near hot enough to boil water. The laquer from the chip would probably begin to melt and create an odor.

RESOLUTION: GNB MAX and Radeon 9700 Crashes

I had various lock-ups, crashes and "Windows detected and recovered from a device failure" error messages with my GNB MAX motherboard and Radeon 9700 and they are now fixed.
I was able to receive a beta version of an upcoming set of drivers from ATI and they did the trick!!
Just wanted to give you all some hope.
Hang in there!

Oops, I spoke too soon. I think FastWrites is on (I remember turning it off before on previous drivers and noticing a big slow down that is not present now) but there isn't a SmartGart tab appearing in my ATI control panel any more. I checked Advanced - Options - Details and yes, 8X is on.
How can I verify that FastWrites is on without the SmartGart tab?
