Geez... You Too?
Plus RAID issues

This is my first new build in a while.
MY initial overclocking experience involved a #2 pencil and a 750mhz AMD Duron,
after that it was more like microsurgery with magnified optics, soldering traces.
I haven't done much since AGP got phased out by PCI.
What sounded like, in the initial reviews, to be a Board "Sent by the Gods"
I bit...  I bought...
and now I'm finding that there is no documentation anywhere on
initializing any of the features that I bought it for in the 1st place.
Sure, I can Convert(x) 2 .avi movies per DVD in 20 minutes instead of 2 hours...
But I'm walking around feeling like I just PAID to be a BETA Tester.
LiveUpdate5 keeps telling me "Your Drivers are current, You have nothing to update'

  • MOVED: A75MA-G55 - "Lab Burst Mode"?

    This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Undervolting & Modding Corner.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=153182.0

    I checked the changelogs for the standard BIOS release series of the A75MA-G55.  There are two references to "Lab Burst Mode". 
    The first appears in the changelog for the E7696AMS.138 [v1.3b8] release:
    - Change setup item "Enhanced Spread Spectrum" to "Lab Burst Mode".
    The second reference appears in the changelog for the E7696AMS.139 [v1.3b9] release:
    - Fixed Lab Burst Mode always enable when OC more than 133Mhz successful then load default.
    That tells us three things:
    1) The option should be available be available in the E7696AMS.130 final release under the name "Lab Burst Mode" and as "Enhanced Spread Spectrum" in all final releases before that.
    2) The "old name" for that option suggests that it has to do with "clock modulation" (because that is what Spread Spectrum generally does).
    3) Spread Spectrum probably may need to be enabled first in order to get access to the "Lab Burst Mode"/"Enhanced Spread Spectrum" option.

  • A75MA-G55 oc genie 2

    I got A75MA-G55 mainboard last month and i can't get oc genie 2 to work since then. When i enable this option in Control Center and reboot, the system won't start and PC just keeps restarting. I tried loading the default options (i really didn't change anything in BIOS) in BIOS and activating OC genie 2, but it's the same as for enabling it in Control Center. This results in me clearing CMOS. I don't know why, but I can't get Overclocking Center and AMD Overdrive to work, either. I updated BIOS to the latest version v1.3. Do i need to install drivers or am i doing something wrong? I installed all drivers from Liveupdate 5 but it says I haven't got the latest versions of display driver, network and audio drivers even when i installed them.
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    1866 is a multiplication of something. Do not set it to 1866!!
    I do not know your motherboard, but your processor would probably like something that add up to 1333 MHz.

    And boot order is set to boot from SSD?
    Yes, but it forces it to boot to EFI Shell. When I press F10 on startup there is no other option to boot from than EFI Shell. I had this mobo working for about month and half with Windows 8 without any problems. Now after I flashed it to v 2.0 (Which is not reverse downgradeable to older 1.xx version) whole system started to act strange, display resolution can not be set properly, sound card stopped working. I wonder if its really final or only unstable beta version of this bios file.

  • MOVED: A75MA G55 default memory frequency

    This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Undervolting & Modding Corner.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=152729.0

    yes that's true. memory doesnt support jedec at higher level than 666 Mhz. just XPM is 1k MHz
    It is not such a big problem to owerlock the memory to get it work on that frequency, but more, what i dont understand is, why i cannot get change the NB frequency to this 993Mhz.
    I tried to overlock it also, i have movedl bus speed to higher level, but also max cannot give me this number and of course computer is than very unstable ( problems to start etc. )
    I would like to have this overlocked frequency supported also by mobo and CPU and it looks like i'm not able to get it in any way :D or better :(
    maybe im missing some point here.

    No need to clutter up the beta thread with final releases when it is readily available at the MSI Global Website for the mainboard; http://eu.msi.com/product/mb/A75MA-G55.html#/?div=BIOS
    Don't use Live Update. For flashing, use the forum's USB Flashing Tool found here, along with instructions how to use it; https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=108079.0
    Like I said earlier, I can't download the 1.3, it says my bios is the latest. And if MSI could be sweet and put a download link instead of pointing to Live Update.

  • Problem with Bios 2.0 MSI A75MA-G55

    hello, I need help ....
    A few days ago I did the update the BIOS of my MSI-A75MA-G55, which is 2.0 and he has presented problems. It has a processor (AMD A-8 3870K) before trouble could overclock to 4.0GHz, but now it goes from 3.6ghz: (... By increasing to over 3.6ghz pc does not start and I have to clear the CMOS for reuse ... the second problem is with the GPU hd6550D now I can not run any game at medium quality such as "far Cry 3" or "Bioshock Infinite" and before if I could .... the previous BIOS version was the V13 or 1.3 which everything worked.
    The characteristics of my pc are:
    - MSI Motherboard-A75MA-G55 (MS-7696)
    - 3870K Processor A-8
    - 2x 4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1333 (667MHz)
    - Hard Drive WD 750GB 64MB Cache
    - Thermaltake CLP0575 Frio OCK
    Thank you in advance ...!
    Sorry do not know much English ...!
    Note: I did a BIOS flash, with the tool provided here, to downgrade the BIOS version and I could not because at the end and restart the PC had always the same version.

    As the problem is only bios related from your report tell MSI about it so the issue can be fixed: >>How to contact MSI.<<

  • RAID support level for A75MA-G55 mainboard.

    Do you know if the A75MA-G55 mainboard supports RAID5?. If it doesn't, do you know if MSI is planning on adding that feature in the near future?. Thank you very much!.

     According to the manual only RAID 0, 1 & 10. We don't have any idea what MSI does or doesn't have plans for, we don't work for MSI we are users same as you.

  • A75MA-G55: Lab Burst Mode temp sensor bug

    Me and a friend were on a quest to find the best BLK frequency on stock voltage and finally arrived on 153MHz to be the max possible on stock voltage.
    We went some benchmarking on 7-zip, GTA4 and wPrime without problems, only we can't measure the cpu core temperature because of that no software can't give us an honest result.
    Then our heads came up with an idea, howbout 2hours Prime95 then quick reboot and check temps from Bios.
    2 hours later quick reboot, enter bios and there we almost passed out... CPU temperature: 128 degrees Celsius but case temp on 27degrees C.
    We left the system off for 3 hours then checked again from a cold boot, 128 degrees C again! then we changed to default settings and there we go 25 degrees C, we switched back to LabBurstMode and temperature showed us again 128 degrees C.
    Maybe this was a planned Helloween trick from the MSI team But this have to be looked at.
    System:
    2x A8-3850 chips
    2x 1866MHz Kingston 4GB
    2x 1600MHz OCZ Gold 2GB
    MSI A75MA-G55
    Asrock A75Pro4-M
    500GB WD Black
    2x 500GB WD Green
    Corsair TX650

    I checked the changelogs for the standard BIOS release series of the A75MA-G55.  There are two references to "Lab Burst Mode". 
    The first appears in the changelog for the E7696AMS.138 [v1.3b8] release:
    - Change setup item "Enhanced Spread Spectrum" to "Lab Burst Mode".
    The second reference appears in the changelog for the E7696AMS.139 [v1.3b9] release:
    - Fixed Lab Burst Mode always enable when OC more than 133Mhz successful then load default.
    That tells us three things:
    1) The option should be available be available in the E7696AMS.130 final release under the name "Lab Burst Mode" and as "Enhanced Spread Spectrum" in all final releases before that.
    2) The "old name" for that option suggests that it has to do with "clock modulation" (because that is what Spread Spectrum generally does).
    3) Spread Spectrum probably may need to be enabled first in order to get access to the "Lab Burst Mode"/"Enhanced Spread Spectrum" option.

    Memtest has run a whole night without errors.
    Al settings on manual won't help.
    Having only one RAM module on the board didn't help.
    It looks like the mobo and the RAM aren't broken.
    Is it not compatible or what?
    I can't update the BIOS because it hangs on making a backup.

  • No sound in win7 (A75MA-G55)

    I have A75MA-G55 mobo, windows 7, latest realtek sound driver but sound doesnt work. When i choose /hardware and sound/sound panel/ , there are PHONES, REPRODUCTORS and DIGITAL SOUND icons, but only DIGITAL SOUND (SPDIF) works. Other two icons are gray and there is written something like "not connected".
    note: i had same problem in windows XP and i solved it with disabling autodetection of connected devices (phones, repro) in realtek audio panel. But there is no realtek audio panel in windows 7.
    please help.

    sounds like you haven't installed the Realtek High Definition Audio Driver  so here is the download Page for them http://www.msi.com/product/mb/A75MA-G55.html#/?div=Driver&os=All just select the OS you have and download the drivers as that contains the Realtek control panel too.
    that should be installed and do a reboot after installation and you should have control over them again!
