MSI 990FXA-GD80 V2 BIOS Settings

I recently just put together my first new system. It consists of the MSI 990FXA-GD80 V2 board. Lots of reading to find that most of the "other" board owners of different brands, that start wiyh A, and G seem to rant and rave about how good their boards are, and how horrible MSI boards are. Through all of my reading though, there seems to be a whole lot more complaints about how this doesn't work, can't get it to do this, etc,etc, and not nearly as many as those with MSI boards. Thus, why I purchased it, and absolutely love it! I have an AMD 980 BE, Mushkin 1600 Ridgeback 1.5v @ 7-7-7-18-24, Mushkin Chronos Deluxe 240 gig SSD, Coolermaster V8 cooler,all in a Coolermaster 922 HAF case. Currently clocked at 4.1gigs, 24hr Prime stable. My question is if anyone knows, or has info on all the settings on voltages in this BIOS so that I can get a better understanding of what they all are and do,and where they should be set. I don't think I did to bad on my very first overclock, but Iwant more, for the bragging rights, you know. Any help would be appreciated.

Funny you say overclock.net I stumbled upon that site quite some time ago. Now I'm sticking my hands in places that they should not be in, just to find a few more pennies to put into my rig. I knew nothing about computers before I saw that site, and now I am on it almost every day just reading and learning. My first and only computer before this one that I have just built was an old Gateway that I literally resurected from the junk yard with the help of a friend, put a new hard drive and OS in, and had my very first computer. It was an Intel Pentium 1.5 ghz POS. As I said before, I still need a good graphics card to temporarily complete my build, and some more knowledge to tweak it out, then I will start with the bling. Overclock.net got me good!! I don't think I did too bad on my first ever overclock of 4.1, using just multi and cpu and cpu/nb voltages, but there are a lot more than just those in the bios, like SB volt, CPU PLL volt, NB volt,HT Link volt, DDR Ref volt CPU DDR PHY volt, NB PCI-E volt, and DDR VTT volt. I am trying to get an understanding of what these do, and where a good setting for these is so I can tweak the sh** out of this thing without burnung up the board and processor. This is why I came to this forum to ask these questions, because it is an MSI owners forum. This is an awesome board, and I want to make it pi** all over the A and G boards with the same type of equiptment. I truly think it can, just need a little more knowledge to do it.
Since you're a beginner I think you should stick to the defaults with the voltages - you can probably bump up the multiplier safely a little bit without needing to touch the voltages. Unless you plan on doing water cooling or anything like that you really don't need to touch the voltages. Auto works fine. I had my Phenom X4 965 BE OC'd to 3.8Gz just by bumping up the multiplier and it was very stable. You don't want to fry your MB by setting the wrong voltages and its not something you really need to do as the gains aren't really there. (again unless you're doing active phase cooling or something hardcore like that) but thats really reserved for the true geeks like me. Not to mention I really doubt you'll even need to over clock at all unless you reallllllllly want to...
As for graphics cards, I have and LOVE my Evga GTX680... I have the 2GB but theres a 4gb model out now which can handle higher texture fill rates and resolutions... but its expensive $550 or so.... good luck!

i don,t know if anyone is interested but i have a msi 990fxa-gd80 running 2133mhz ram @1600mhz with no oc at all cpu is a 1100t bios 11.4
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.

please look at earlier posts Henry says different again to what you and bas are saying i think there need to be some sort of general consenses on this would you say
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.

Msi 990fxa-gd80 fx9370 bios help

hi can somebody tell me which bios i need to upgrade to on my msi990fxa-gd80 so i can run a amd fx9370.the new bios say for only windows 8 which i dont want to run.rather stay with win 7 x64.bios is 11.12 at the moment

To make you comfortable even more... I have upgraded to 13.4 with no problems. I have been overclocking mine from day one.. and I mean day 1. I am one of the first buyers (@Newegg) of the 990FXA-GD80 when it came out. First with an X6 1090T and later with an FX-8150 running at 4.2GHz and a Zalman 9700NT cooler.
If you search 990FXA-GD80 and FX-9370, there are articles. Some suggest 'Liquid' Cooling for the FX-9590/FX-9370. Might be a good suggestion, cooling is important. Nobody here want's to lead someone down a road to problems.. but, let's get real here... MSI would not say it's okay and make FW for it, if it was a no go. Even with a small CPU we can overclock and adjust to a death. It's all about trial, error, good cooling and paying attention. I bet the FX-9370 will be an awesome CPU.
The 990FXA-GD80 has been a top board pick. If products were perfect there would be no warranties and occasionally there are failures, either by fault or user. People like to vent and loosing a board to being a 'brick' is a bummer. That doesn't make it a bad board, we don't know the reasons for failure.
Good Luck

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.

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.
Quote from: jnrjim67 on 10-March-12, 21:06:41
...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?

The processor support 64bit, however, it does not support Virtualization. Technology.

Then I try to run with Vmware and VirtualPC one operating system x64 but i get the message: "Your CPU not suport x64 operating system"
Are you running VMWare/VirtualPC out of a 32bit operating system? If yes, that explains the error message.
Please try to install a 64 bit operating the regular way, not virtualize it.

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

Quote from: philip on 26-March-12, 00:41:13
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 - SATA connector 5-6 not seen by Linux kernel

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
Operating system Linux / kernel 2.6.39-r2
I am in the final stages of providing my new MSI 990FXA-GD80, Socket-AM3+ with all its peripherals.
I have a working main disk with a Linux/Gentoo installation, connected to SATA baoad connector 1 (the disk shows up as sda1) . Now I have added 4 other disks, all for storage purposes.
The disks connected to SATA board connector 2-4 works OK. However, when I connect the 5th disk to SATA connector number 5 it is not seen by the Linux kernel. It is not seen in connector number 6 either. I have checked that the disk itself and its SATA cable is OK by connecting it to SATA connector number 4 (temporarily disconnecting one of the working disks). And it is recognized there and works OK. So there is no faults in the disk and its cable.
What can be the problem? Is there a different SATA controller for connector 5-6 than for connector 1-4? Do I have to enable a different supporting module in the Linux kernel for SATA connector 5-6, than for connector 1-4?

However, when I connect the 5th disk to SATA connector number 5 it is not seen by the Linux kernel. It is not seen in connector number 6 either.
Do the drives show up anywhere else (UEFI/BIOS Setup, Boot Order etc.)?

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

Problem with msi 990fxa-gd80

Ok after a month of my new setup (8150fx,msi 990fxa-gd80 and kingston hyperx 1866 8gb) i tried to OC some the cpu . After all the settings are done and boot normally at windows i saw the core voltage was at stock 1.28v (using CPU-Z,core temp and amd overdrive) but before at bios i gave it 1,35v. Also i use a multi of x17.5 and fsb 233 but while checking from same programs (CPU-Z, core temp and amd overdrive) the multi goes at 16.5 If i use the amd overdrive i can set the cpu voltage and multi at 1.35 and x17.5 but only from there. Also the system temp at north bridge is a bit high 41 idle is that the correct temp ??? I am using the latest bios 11.10
Plz if anyone knows something about that or had the same problem plz tell me what should i do .

Is amd Cool n'quiet & c1e support disabled?
Also, when overclocking, I don't use amd overdrive (except for the vid card) or control center. Make all your bios changes in the bios.

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.
