Some will be interested. But it needs to be made crystal clear that 1600 RAM speed is 'OVERCLOCKING' plain & simple with your particular CPU specifications for the integrated memory controller. Running 1600, that's great! Here's another 'but', the RAM you have is 'rated' 2133, but I guarantee the chips on them are far from 2133. Most likely overvolted 1333's, or 'maybe' 1600's. Have a look at CPUID's CPU-Z SPD Tab & look at the Max. Bandwidth line.
We are all happy that it is working at 1600 for you. The RAM you have may work well for others too. I guess that was the original purpose of this thread? Seems it's done it's job then.

Making issue out of admins & mods having a difference in their take on CPU IMC native RAM speed support is not cool. I am sure Henry had the brand new native supported 1600 RAM bulldozer CPU's in mind in his reply, & didn't intentionally try to misinform anyone.

Thats a bold statement. I know lots of people who have got FX cpu's running on MSI boards without issues. Did you do research, contact people, do you have sources?? Did you ever inform MSI of your problems??
DaLoona, I've been going through a lot of forums lately, since a month or so, after what I faced; just to identify the source. And I've not seen a post in forums of other board manufacturers, that read such high notoriety. So, it is just my assumption, from all that bits of information that I found.
And as far as reporting MSI: I just had this one MSI board, over the eight year period of me-having-a-system. And perhaps, I have been, more than just lucky that a simple BIOS update fixed my problem.
Take this guy (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=152134.0), for example, and this (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=157307.0).
Here I'm not talking about any particular series of processor. I'm just trying to find the source-of-error.

...not with the FX as its not working but with x4 I had has burnt out and I mean burnt near the 8 pin CPU head, its burnt through the board to the back...
It may have been the FX that might have overpowered the system, and after regular usage with the x4, the board fried.
It was a long time ago, I heard from one of my friends that the golden lines on the PCB do also act in a similar manner to fuses in other regular appliances.
And I've blown up the fuses in my house plenty of times, to say that it is always easy to break a stressed object.

As for the FX-8120 tried it on anothert branded Mobo and its dead
Was this other board equipped to initiate the FX?

No. I recommend using the newest available BIOS on this board. Windows 8 has features that require newer BIOS on some boards for full functionality.
Flash away.

MSI 990fxa-gd80 PROBLEMS

Never in my life I have seen a more unstable motherboard....
Here is my configuration (the system is new, assembled yesterday):
Cpu: AMD FX 8350
MB: MSI 990fxa-gd80 (bios verison:13.2)
Memory: Corsair vengeance 8x2GB 1866
SSD: OCZ vector 128 GB
Power: Seasonic 850 Bronze
System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64
I need some help with the following problems if there is someone kind enough to help me:
1. after a minute or 2 bios freezes (I think I managed to solve this by setting the correct speed for ddram; initially it's 1333 and I set it to 1866)
2. Now the windows sees the 16 GB of ram but only uses 8 GB: 16.0 GB (7.95 GB usable); If I set the memory speed to 1333, the windows uses all memory but the computer resets after a few minutes in windows and the bios freezes the same. And after reset it doesn't boot anymore... I have to clear CMOS to make it boot again
3. sometimes after a freeze, I reset and all kinds of artifacts appear on the screen, and the system is not booting
Does someone have any idea about these problems ? Have anybody experienced something like this ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Are you sure? All my 990FXA-GD80-Boards have only four DDR3-Slots, not eight...
What happens, when you run the system with only one RAM-module? Check the one module first and the second module later.

MSI 990FXA-GD80 updated POST code "99"

I started my computer up last night after 3 months of using it and now it is posting a 99 code when I start the computer. I can't get to bios or boot. Keyboards will not work (both PS2 and USB). BIOS was completely up to date for nearly 3 weeks.
This morning, to no avail, I tried a new power supply.
At this point I have tried all of the following:
-Disconnecting HHD (SATA and POWER)
-Disconnecting Opitical Drive (SATA and POWER)
-DISCONNECTING ALL F-PANEL (PWR SW, PWR LED, HDD LED, RESET SW)
-Disconnecting the USB and HD AUDIO
-Disconnecting ALL fans.
-Mounting and remounting the motherboard
-Mounting and remounting the CPU
-Attempting to use a new video card
-Attempting to use a new power supply
-Placing MOBO on a different surface
-Reseting the CMOS via the on board button and removing the battery
-Using only 1 stick of ram to boot
-New PSU
Basically I am booting the PC with the power button on the MOBO and the only things connected are the 8 pin MOBO power, the CPU, 1 stick of ram, and 1 of 2 different working video cards.
After doing all of those things, the MOBO stills post code "99" on the screen and on the MOBO itself. Additionally, keyboard does not work. Furthermore, I cannot access my BIOS or boot screen.
The original video card and the replacement video card both work on another PC therefore they are not the problem.
Thus, at this point, I have narrowed the malfunction down to either the following two components:
-Motherboard
-CPU (which I doubt, but do not have a AM3+ mobo on hand) or another AM3/AM3+ processor
Any suggestions or advice are more than welcome and needed.
I am considering RMAing the motherboard...

Quote from: xmad on 19-July-12, 03:06:34
Hopefully the cpu isn't the problem, wish there was a way for you to test it out. A computer shop perhaps?
Just to be clear, you removed the mobo from the case with just a cpu, cooler, 1 stick ram & psu and don't hear the no vga beep?
I see you already tried a new psu.
Hope you get it right soon, good luck I think you are right it's either the cpu or mobo.
Yes. The GPU is working fine I tested it in another computer. I installed another working GPU, it did the same "99" post.
Unfortuneately, there are 2 PC shops close by. 1 of them is a "mom and pop" type place that really doesn't get too deep in to technical aspects and doesn't care much for AMD products. The second is a shop that only carries very low end products as well as some i3 type proccessors and mobos.
Thus, since none of the computer stores give a flip about AMD, I am out of luck in that aspect. I have quite a few AM3 boards laying around, but that does me no good with this Zambezi.
On a side note, I decided to remove the processor. The processor and the heatsink became merged together. What I mean when I say they became merged is that the thermal paste become basically a superglue between the heatsink and the processor (the FX-4170 naturally runs hot, thus, AMD has included an upgraded heatsink in it with better thermal paste). Anyhow, in order to remove the thing I could only get the mounting lever about a little over half way up. Therefore, on the back row, the pins bent a little (I would say there were making somewhere between a 80-85 degree angle orthogonal to the board). I took a credit card and a screw driver and straightend the pins, stuck it back in, still posted the same thing.
Last but not least, I read over the mobo specifications and realized that it was backwards compatible. The MSI 990FXA-GD80 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard supports the following CPU types/sockets:
Quote
FX / Phenom II / Athlon II / Sempron 100 Series
I realized I had a (working) AMD CPU HDZ955FBGMBOX Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition 3.2GHz AM3 125W Retail, thus, I mounted it on the MOBO... SAME CODE POSTED...
It must be the motherboard.

MSI 990FXA-GD80, POST error code 54

I have just assembled a new system:
M-Board: MSI 990FXA-GD80 (UEFI BIOS with factory version E7640 AMSB50, indicated by green label on BIOS chip)
CPU: AMD Phneom II X6 1055T
RAM: 2 x Crucial DDR3 1333MHz 8GB REG/ECC
PSU: Fractal Design Newton R2 1000W PSU
GPU: Asus GeForce EN8600GT Silent/HTDP 512MB
I start the sytem and get 3 distinctive beeps from the speaker and error post code 54
I have tried the following:
1. Remove one RAM stick and start the system with just one RAM stick in slot DIMM1. Result: Same error codes, 3 beeps and post code 54
2. Removed the RAM sticks completely (in hope to get an error code indicating RAM is missing). Result: Same error codes, 3 beeps and post code 54
3. Switching the RAM sticks (DIMM1 <-> DIMM2). Result: Same error codes, 3 beeps and post code 54
4. Tried the processor on another board (ASUS) that I know works. The processor runs fine on the ASUS board.
5. Activated the "Easy Button 3" Reset button. Result: Same error codes, 3 beeps and post code 54
6. Activated the CL_CMOS button at the Back Panel. Result Same error codes, 3 beeps and post code 54
7. Clear Data position of Clear CMOS Jumper JBAT1 (with power disconnected), and the back to Keep data position. Result: Same error codes, 3 beeps and post code 54
All fans are working OK. Everything seems to be correctly connected after double checks.
Is there anything else I can do, without returning the MOBO to shop? I guess I can not update the BIOS if I do not get passed the post?
Anything else that can be wrong?
I am greatful for any initiated help.
/Phil

No, I have not tried to boot the MOBO outside of the case. However I have come a little bit further:
I bought a less expensive memory stick of just 2GB; Kingston RMD3-1333/2G and put this in the DIMM1 slot.
With this memory the PC booted and completed the POST. This allowed me to download and flash the latest BIOS; 7640vB8 from MSI.
I then turned off the PC and re-installed the 8GB Drucial memory stick in DIMM1. I then got the original problem back.
My conclusion is that the 8GB memory from Crucial is not compatible with the MSI 990FXA-GD80 board and the Phenom II X6 processor.
If anyone have any idea how I could get my memories from Crucial to work on the MOBO I would be grateful. I have paid dearly for them.
Just saw this:

MSI 990FXA-GD80 / MSI Radeon ATI HD 7870 Hawk / Phanteks combo.

Hi
I am in the process of building a new system but have, potentially, run into some problems.
The motherboard I am looking to buy is the “MSI 990FXA-GD80” and the graphics card is the “MSI Radeon ATI HD 7870 Hawk”, processor FX-8350.
Now to my question/possible problem.
I am looking to buy a third party cooler from Phanteks, the “Phanteks PH-TC14P-RD”.
I know that it will be a tight fit between the cooler and the graphics card normally, and since the Hawk has the “GPU reactor” (which builds the height of the card) my concern is that it would interfer with the Phanteks making it impossible for me to install the video card using the Phanteks.
I was wondering if this combo would work or not, prior to registering here I Googled searched like crazy but came up with nothing.
I would really appreciate some help.
Best regards.
Eric

Since that board has two PCI-E slots with 16 lanes you wouldn't have to use the first slot so reactor is not the real issue. The VRM cooler of the board could be more troublesome as the cooler has two towers and two fans.
However I found somone listing a combo with the cooler and a 990FXA-GD65 which should have a vrm cooler of the same height.

MSI 990FXA GD80 motherboard temp??

i just build amd fx rig, base on amd fx 8350 & MSI 990FXA GD80
the temp of may cpu on stock 4000mhz is 20-30 c in idle but the motherboard it's 40-50 c
it's normal or i should check it at msi service center???
may system is: amd fx 8350, MSI 990FXA GD80, gskill 2x4 ddr3 pc12800, intel ssd 60G & xigmatek 500w

Quote from: dedykarto on 01-October-13, 13:18:44
now my temp is 35 - 44c at idle with oc genie on & the clock speed is 4400mhz max, but my board temp always 50-52c at idle, i used open side panel case, coolermaster hyperx+ & my ambient room temp is 30-32c at day time, why my board temp always much higher than may cpu temp?
What are you using for cooling Air cooler or water like a h100? And honestly oc genie never worked for me, could be over volting your chip making it run hot. So give us some info on the cooler and maybe your voltages for CPU , CPU-NB , CPU-PLL and any others you wish to divulge. You can use Control Center and pull them off there.
Also Download HWiNFO and use it to monitor temps and voltages. It give max, min, current and average, a very useful tool and number one with FX 8350 OCers.

MSI 990FXA-GD80 voltage control over 1.44V for the CPU FX-8320

Hi there!
MSI 990FXA-GD80
Can anybody help me with overclocking with this board? The voltage looks locked
and can't push more than 1.44V.
Any solution/fix?
This does not work after 1.44V.
Kind regards

I know this is a little late but over the last 3yrs I had much time to play with this board.
The board is a beast and its very tricky. most people think this board has a locked cpu voltage
but thats not true. theres a couple ways to access the voltage. the first way is control center.
or if you clear the bios by pushing the clear cmos tab in back then when you restart it hit f1 to enter first time setup
go straight to overclocking features 2nd down on the left side, go right to the vcore and it should show all the way to 2+ volts
i believe. I currently have a msi 990fxa-gd80v2 board with a fx8320 cpu and i overclock it acording to the seasons. as crazy as that sounds. in the winter i can get 4.9ghz stable off it and in the summer i like to run it around 4.5 to 4.6ghz.
the board is very basic and practically overclocks itself. the voltage is way way off though. at 1.62000 voltage the board is actually at around 1.46v to 1.49v no one really know exactly where until you use cpuz on it. i run it at 22x210fsb at 1.58000 to 1.62000v the ram is gskill 1600 ripjaw x . the set the ram voltage at 1.503v at ddr3-1600 in the drop down with a 10xht and 10nb multi and i unlink the timings so the board can autodetect the timings and it does it all basically for me. i have a corsair h100i water cooler and the temps dont go above 46c under full loads, and the chipset runs at 48c no higher. this is by far the best 990 board known to man. i have owned 6 or 7 others from asus, gigabyte, asrock ect. and its wipes the floor with them. i also have a asrock 990fx extreeme 3 board with a 8120 and that board also overclocks well. but not nearly as well as this board matter of fact not even close to the speeds of this board. i will say though.
i had to rma this board twice and now i have to rma it again but a fan header died on it for no reason and the fastboot option keeps giving me a 67 code display on the error and wont even post if i enable it. i wont buy another board because there are none at the quality and overclock ability and stable. i see that person saying the board dont overclock or it wasnt made to. lol.. it was and oh boy it is. just be patient. and dont ever waste your money on intel. youll be paying for the name. ill put my 8320 against any i5 and most i7's running the same hardware. I boot alot of machines and i see them everyday the intels are not anything they claim them to be. in real home use computing the amd is overall faster. I believe i have side by side machines booting at the same time and the amds are faster. booting as far as format and installing windows.

MSI 990FXA GD80 audio help

Hello I'm sorry if this has been mentioned before but i was hoping anyone with a MSI 990FXA GD80 could help me out please, i am having audio problems with my new motherboard when play a video or some music if i open msi control centre or scan for hardware changes in device manager i get terrible sound distortion, i think its happening because my bios is being scanned but this is the first motherboard its happened to me on, could anyone else with a MSI 990FXA GD80 play a video or some music and scan for hardware changes in device manger while its playing to see if it happens to you, thank you for any help.
p.s i am using the latest v11.5 bios and on-board audio, my CPU is overclocked to 4GHz but it still happens on default settings, thanks again.

Quote from: BR4DDERS on 30-September-11, 09:57:21
Hello i have finally fixed my audio problem i use a wireless usb adapter for the internet so i disabled the onboard LAN controller in bios, i disabled it before i even installed windows so i didn't have any drivers for it,
anyway i have it enabled now my overclocks applied an no audio problems what soever. Uncleblitz check to see if you have you're onboard LAN controller disabled.
thanks for all the help guys
[update]
I just tried control center and it still does it, i checked it by scanning for new hardware in device manager because it was quicker to open it doesn't do it there anymore just in control center, so its half fixed
