H61M-E33 and AHCI

Hello,
I recently grabbed one of the MSi H61M-E33 mainboards from the Microcenter deal a few days back. Despite the information I see online, and in the board's user manual, it doesn't appear to have AHCI support. Does anyone know if MSi is looking into this? I gave them a call, but they just had me update the BIOS, which did nothing.
In UEFI, it even describes each of the settings like AHCI was supposed to be an option, but it's just not there. It doesn't look like I'm alone, either. I see a couple mentions of this around the internet, but I didn't see anything here so I thought I'd ask.
Thanks!

Might be some information concerning that in this thread; https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=146755.0
Interesting. I didn't see that thread because it's on a different board. So two of MSi's H61 boards are exhibiting this problem. I do see they share the same firmware, and looking around online there are rumors that H61MU-E35 has a UEFI update on the way to fix the issue.
Hopefully this gets corrected soon.

H61M-P23 and AHCI

I have purchase H61M-P23 from Microcenter. According to the documentation, this board should have AHCI support. However, in BIOS (version 17), I don't see that option. All I see is IDE and DISABLE. I know other boards like H61M-E33 had same problem and MSI released a beta BIOS. Not sure if there is a beta BIOS for H61M-P23 also. Please help. Thanks.

Your welcome. Did you get it installed & AHCI is showing up ok now?
No, it totally screwed up. I used the same Beta to update H61M-E33 which worked fine. I did not read the thread completely. The beta BIOS is NOT for H61M-P23. I did not read the thread and updated the BIOS!!!! Now after the BIOS upgrade, I don't get video. Looks like the motherboard is trying to use the integrated video, but H61M-P23 does not have a integrated video!!
Any advice please?

H61m-e33 and Winki 3

Just built HTPC using this MoBo. I am trying to find out how to enable Winki 3. I was looking in bios and on CD but I can not find how to do it. Can some one help me please?
Thank You,
ZaR

Update to my last reply. I just finished installing to a 1GB SD memory card and am using Winkie from it now. If you install as shown in the instructions from the Users Guide Bernhard posted then you should not have any problem. It was slow going on mine but I think that may be that my printer and card reader are kind of old and may not be USB high speed. Best to use minimum 1GB USB stick.Quote from: Henry on 24-April-11, 03:11:39
You can not install to your HDD. You can boot it from DVD when PC is started from power off and DVD is set to boot 1st. It can be installed to 1GB USB stick if you want to. I haven't done that yet with mine but am going to try a little later today. My Winkie also came as software on the Drivers/Utility DVD not a separate hardware device and came with the user guide like Bernhard's.
I only tried mine one time a year ago before I installed a HDD to my rig and it did OK for basic stuff. Basically it's much like using something like a Pandigital Novel or an iPad or some such thing.

Edit: Don't even try installing on old USB 1 card reader like on my 7-8 year old printer as it takes a loooong time. Less than 5 minutes on a USB 2 high speed and memory stick though.

What happens if you try?
Also, what is your current BIOS Version?

H61M-E33 B3 - which BIOS version for i5-3570?

Hi
My motherboard is MSI H61M-E33 B3, I was using i3-2100 CPU, but a friend gave me his old i5-3750, which is far better. I updated my BIOS with Live Update before I swapped CPU's but I guess that my BIOS version is still wrong for this i5, because when I try to run my PC, it beeps 4 times and reset. So my question is, what is exact BIOS version I need for this CPU to work, and where can I download it? I would be really thankful for any help

Quote from: HenryW on 18-February-15, 08:03:41
Does it still work with the 13-2100? Did you clear CMOS after BIOS update?
Yes, and yes. Works perfectly with i3, and I've cleared CMOS, but it didn't help.
Quote from: Chike on 18-February-15, 08:06:21
Go to MB support page and check the compatibility list.
for the last 2 digits/letters, A=10, B=11, C=12 etc, so A2 will be 10.2
The problem is, on this page - http://www.msi.com/product/mb/H61ME33_B3.html#hero-overview - On the compatibility tab, my i5 is labeled as "7680vC0.zip" - so i guess BIOS version 12.0 - but on the downloads tab, I see only BIOS 12.3 and 12.2, and the next older one is 10.E :/ Should I download this 12.2 or 12.3 versions?
When I use my Live Update 6 program, with i3 CPU mounted, it tells me that my BIOS version is A.E0 and it is the latest one, and no need to update.
I'm really, really confused :P

MSI H61M-E33(B3) updating bios.........file not found

Hi,
I tried to update the bios MSI H61M-E33(B3) from 10.D to 12.2. After rebooting, i got the message "BIOS Update: ... file not found".
There is something wrong, what could it be?
The following files are on an usb-Stick:
- 7680vC2.exe (Windows-Installer)
- EIVB.bin (MD5: 55a1af369b1db5b180a432a8fa5c7178 )
- IM9T318R (empty directory)
If the stick is missing, i got the message that the bios-update is not finished yet.

If that doesn't work:
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
Download the attached archive to your desktop(of any computer)
Install the forum update tool
Use option 1 of the tool and point it at the entire archive.
It will prepare the flash tool to flash, I am not sure if you are getting far enough to use this, perhap try a full cmos clear as well.
If none of these solutions will work, you will need that spi programmer.

H61M-E33 (B3) BIOS update?

Hi guys,
I've just got hold of a GTX760 graphics card, but having a spot of bother with the fan not powering up as it should--it's been tried in another system and all is well so it's been suggested that I need a BIOS update for my own machine.
Is this correct, and if so which one?
System comprises of:
H61M-E33 motherboard
i5-2500K CPU
8 GB Kingston value RAM, 1333MHz (2x4GB modules as a pair)
850W XFX PSU
Thanks in advance for any help!

Sorry for the delay in replying chaps, things went a bit haywire at work.
Thanks for the BIOS link and instructions Svet; this updated well but unfortunately didn't resolve the issue--which now seems to NOT be a BIOS one anyway!
Chika; the problem is/was that the fan on the graphics card would only 'kick in' (if at all) when the card was already too hot, resulting in the system freezing. A friend from a few houses away offered to test the card in his system, I know he has a 970GPU but not what the CPU etc is, but his testing was actually flawed as I'd given him the impression that I could get no output at all from the card. All he did was try it, saw a decent image on his screen and concluded that the card was OK and that it could need the motherboard BIOS updating as he'd had to do this on his machine.
The cooling afforded by my case seems to have been sufficient to keep the temperatures within the safe zone for *normal* uses, but not for anything such as playing a game to put the card under stress.
Whilst all this was happening I'd contacted the cards manufacturer who replied saying that it shouldn't need a BIOS revision and that the card itself was most likely faulty and started the RMA procedure.
So, thanks for all the help and sorry for leading you off on the wrong track.

H61M-E33 (B3) BIOS supported HD size?

How large of an HD does the BIOS of H61M-E33 recognize? I put in a 3 TB drive and am trying to run SpinRite on it but the motherboard might not be recognizing all 3 TB, unfortunately.
There is no POST screen that I can find nor is the drive size shown in the BIOS setup screen.
Thank you!

Then the board is bricked. If still under warranty rma it otherwise recovering with an SPI flash programmer is required by a pc shop or MSI (to be paid of course).

H61M-E33 (B3) BIOS 12.1 Help Please

Hello,
I am having the "file not found" bios update issue.
I tried the solution found on the forum as indicated by Svet but I have lost the original Bios Files that were extracted during the update.
If anyone is willing to help me and has a similar Motherboard i will post the instructions:
1) Download the 7680vC1.zip archive from http://eu.msi.com/product/mb/H61M-E33--B3-.html#/?div=BIOS
2) Extract it to an clean USB stick
3) Run it but DO NOT continue the instalation, dont close it either.
4) Acces the USB stick with explorer and copy all its content to an outside folder
5) Cancel the update.
Now all i need is that folder. Unfortunately I can't do the above myself, as the current computer doesn't have an msi compatible board and the application refuses to run.
Note: When the file 7680vC1.exe is runned, a temp folder is created on the stick. That folder is deleted after the update procedure is aborted.
Or any ideas on how to bypass motherboard check?

Why do/did you want to flash the BIOS ? Did you purchase an Ivy CPU with this board ? If so, then you firstly need a supported SB CPU to be able to flash.
What does your system consist of ? >>Posting Guide<<

H61M-E33 B3 - PCI slot not working ?

Hi,
I've plugged a working (tested on another PC) WIFI DLINK PCI card on the motherboard (H61M-E33 B3) and it's not detected by windows 7 64bits or by the PC itself (the on card green LED isn't lightening).
I've updated to the latest version of the motherboard BIOS with Live5.
Except that, the PC is working fine.
I've an Intel icore3 and 8gb of ddr3 ram.
Anyone ever had this kind of problem ?
Thx

Quote from: HU16E on 11-December-11, 18:36:24
Most likely a compatibility problem. Might check with the card manufacturer for any update information. Other suggestion is to contact MSI Tech Support with a ticket reporting the problem. They may be able to look at it from their end. http://support.msi.com
I'll try that, thx.
The PCI card is a DLINK DWA-547 wifi card, in case you ever read problem about this one.

H61M-E33/W8 won't boot

I just installed a brand new H61M-E33/W8 motherboard, Intel i3 processor, new 600W power supply, and 8 GB of memory. Put everything together just fine and it booted to the system bios with no problems. Shut down and installed my hard drive then re-booted. Again, no problems and the it appeared to be booting just fine. Then the system suddenly shut off and now will not boot at all. When I hit the power button the fan turns for a few seconds and stops. Any ideas?

First try a full cmos clear: >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
IF no help remove non essential hardware and try to boot with a single stick of ram. Test each stick and each DIMM like this.
