  • Starting New Build with 990FXA-GD65

    I received my 990FXA-GD65 Motherboard.
    Waiting for delivery of the CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition Deneb.
    Memory: AMD Entertainment Edition 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333.
    Heatsink: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus.
    Question 1. On the 990FXA-GD65 motherboard there is a 4/8pin power connector (JPWR2). My power supply has both 4 & 8. which should i use?
    Question 2: The board has an ATX 6-pin Power Connector (PWRCONN1) for the Graphics Card. My GeForce 8800GT card has a 6pin connector attached to it. Should i plug the power supply connector into the mainboard, graphic card, or both?
     Thanks for any and all suggestions.
    This is a build in progress and i plan on upgrading the graphic card and a few other things.

    Thanks to All.
    The BIOS on the motherboard is E7640 AMSJ10
    I can't find this BIOS at MSI or anywhere.

    But i want to still have low frequency in idle, for that, what setting causing this EIST or C1E ? Or both ? I mean if i want to have 4.5Hhz on load, and 1.6Ghz on idle, for having 1.6Ghz on idle i need to enable both EIST and C1E, or just one of them, and the other disabled.
    The setting is vcore=auto, c-states=enabled and EIST=enabled not C1E as it was in 775 processors. Ivy Bridge has less VID voltage than Sandy Bridge and that means that most of IB will overclock less at auto voltage so most of them will only get 4.2 to 4.4 Ghz.

    OK, so in short answer, i will let the internal pll overvoltage to enabled ?
    Disable it, internel PLL overvoltage is for extreme overclocking and might help above 4.8Ghz and that's it. According Intel can cause some CPU degradation overtime.

    1. After a CPU overclock in my case, the Intel C State (or something like that) sets to disabled. I am able to enable it again ?
    And i don't understand that feature, what it actually does ? I have the options C2, C4, i think, and some auto and no limit. I should let it disabled for a OC, or enable it ?
    You can and should leave it enabled it, it makes huge difference in the processor power consumption and it causes no instabilities with casual overclocking.
    Quote from: CalinTM on 20-September-12, 05:29:06
    2.On my PCI-E settings, i have some PCI Latency, and it's set to 32, by default. I Can achieve better overall performance if i set it to 64, or it's useless ?
    32 is the best performance.

  • MOVED: overclocking the z77a-gd65 board

    This topic has been moved to Overclocking, Undervolting.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=166750.0

    I recommend searching the threads that specialize in the 'Turbo' OC method. Ivy CPU's are not super OC'ers on conventional cooling solutions, but excellent performance can be pulled out of them in the 44X-45X range and still keep all the power saving features intact as well. CPU V. left alone to work on Auto is recommended. Initially for testing, set VDRoop to 100%. Disable EuP 2013, Overspeed Protection, and Spread Spectrum.

  • 890FXA-GD65 with AMD Phenom II 1100T and Asus Radeon 6950 No Video Signal

    I just did a new computer build with an MSI 890FXA-GD65 motherboard AMD Phenom II 1100T processor and Asus Radeon 6950 graphic card.
    I have a SATA hard drive and optical drive. Memory is Corsair XMS3 4GB PC10666 DDR3 1333MHz 4096MB.
    When I turn the system on I have no video signal so I can't see bios. I tried taking everything apart and rebuilding and still nothing.
    The power is on to the motherboard and graphic card. The motherboard has 2 LED indicators on.
    I am a newbie with the new computer build and need some help. I accidentally pressed the clear CMOS while the power was on. I have no idea if this is going to mess up the motherboard.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    Mike

    I could not locate this on this specific motherboard. The one issue is that there is a CLR CMOS button on the back and I pressed this when power was on .
    I know there is another way to clear the cmos with the jumpers but I didnt do that .
    Anyway motherboard still powers up. I took it to a tech to check it out. Don't know anything as of yet. Thanks.

    With the CPU Core Ratios in CPU Features back to Auto or their default, set the Adjust CPU Ratio to 43X at first just to test it for POST completion, OS loading and stability. Turbo and Enhanced Turbo could be set to disabled. Internal PLL to enabled. Try VDroop in Auto or it's other available setting. CPU PLL to 1.82v's - 1.84v's, EuP 2013, Spread Spectrum, and Overspeed Protection keep disabled. Reset the CPU Features power and duration limits back up to the previous settings as discussed.
    As you said, there is a problem with the BIOS version. I tried to overclock with CPU Ratio method, unsatisfactorily. setting the CPU Ratio at 40 the system fail.
    I recently tried with OC Genie Button, but the Frecuency doesn't go above 3.7Ghz, but the CPU Ratio Limit is set in 42.
    you can see the picture.

    Need help overclocking a AMD Phenom 2 1100T cpu on a 890FXA-GD70 motherboard. I only want to overclock the cpu, not my ram. Basically, I need to know which voltages to change and at what voltages to start at. Also, I've currently have the cpu multiplier and Turbo Core multiplier set at 3.7/3.9, not the stock 3.3/3.7.

    If you didnt adust the multipliers for anything or changed the FSB then simply bump your CPU (Not CPUNB) to about ~1.42v   that should keep it stable.
    Run Prime95 or Intel Burn test for a couple hours to make sure

  • MSI Military Class II 990FXA-GD65 - No Signal

    Hello. I'm an amateur builder and this is my third project. I've spent many hours trying to figure this one out with no luck, so here I am.
    All the components are new, save for a stick of RAM. Everything seems to have power. I've only had it boot into BIOS once. As soon as I moved the mouse I lost signal to the monitor. I have not been able to reproduce this. I have cleared CMOS, reseated everything, tried a different monitor and video card and took it down to one weak stick of ram and one HDD. I've also tried using a VGA cable to no avail.The only thing I haven't tried is powering up the Motherboard outside the case. I haven't tried it because I'm under the impression that the motherboard had to be grounded to the case to work properly and safely, but I have seen it suggested on this forum in other similar threads.
    Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

  • 990FXA GD65 CPU voltage reading

    Hi,  I Have an MSI 990FXA GD65 with an AMD FX 6100 cpu.
     I have been struggling with this board for a while trying to match the voltage I set in the bios to the readings I am getting from CPU-Z and HWMonitor.
    at default with CPU voltage set to auto in the bios cpu-Z and HWMonitor show 1.32v at idle and about 1.30v under load with P95, if I set the cpu voltage to 1.4 in bios they show about 1.48 at idle and 1.44 under load.
    What puzzles me is that my CPU needs 1.4v in bios to run at 4.2 ghz, this seems to match what a lot of other people are getting with this CPU but if I am to trust CPU-Z's readings then I am needing 1.44v so should I be trusting what I set in the Bios or should I go with CPU-Z and face that I need a lot of volts to run stable and 4.2ghz is as far as I can go.
    I also seem to have very low temperatures for running such high voltages, if it's really at 1.48v then surely it should be getting hotter than 46 degrees running P95 even with a corsair H80. Temps were even lower with a thor's hammer in push/pull on there.
    For some reason I cannot run MSI ControlCentre in windows 8.1 so I have no idea what that will tell me.
    So just joined up here to see if anybody else has the same issue and can give me some advice.
    Thanks,

    I have the sunbeam twister 120, and it's AMAZING!  The fans on it rotate in different directions making the airflow VERY quiet even at 3k RPM.  It's a dual fan push pull with 3 DirectCU Healpipes, and an amazingly smooth base.  I purchased mine for just under 30 bucks from Newegg (discontinued on their site) and it allows me to push my AMD Athlon ii X4 640 (3.0Ghz) to 3.8 with a 1v change, and still keeps it around stock temps.  @ 3.5Ghz (what I run @ stable due to motherboard limitations) I hit a max of 40c core temp and an idle of anywhere between 16c-20c.
    Stock temps were about 19-21c idle, and 38-40 under load.
    Stock cooler was almost 20c more idle, and under load, so this is DEFINITELY a badass cooler.
    It also comes with a fairly decent size tube of TX-4 Tuniq paste which is apparently one of the best in the game, so I went ahead, and used some of that on my HIS HD 6850, and I'll be damned, the paste alone dropped my temps enough to get a world record breaking overclock on stock air cooling.  The heatsink also comes with a "RheoSmart" rheostat controller that also plugs into the four, or three pin cpu fan connector, to allow you to switch between manual, or motherboard controller speeds. (Which is pretty awesome IMHO)  I absolutely LOVE this thing, and am 150% confident it'll be able ot cool my 8350 efficiently when I get it (if I don't end up waiting on the Steamroller cpu line.)
    This is what you're looking for.  According to several testers across the internet, this is right on par with a V6-V8 cooler...and over 30 bucks cheaper.

    This is the validation for my CPU using the paste that comes in the box with the Twister 120 - btw, that's on the standard stock HS...nothing special at ALL.

  • 990FXA-GD65 Vs. 990FXA-GD80

    Hello to every-one 
    I'm hoping someone can tell the difference between the "990FXA-GD65" and the "990FXA-GD80" in regards to performance and durability.
    I've seen some people say that the GD65's Northbridge gets hot and that the GD80's does not, Would a hot Northbridge be a problem ?
    I may do some light OC'ing.
    Basically i would like to know which one would be better 
    What i will be doing: Game Programing, Gaming, Some rendering and Video conversion.
    I'm getting the FX-8120 BTW.
    Many thanks.

    Advantages:
    Dr Mos:In order to provide customers stable and high quality products, starting from P45 series mainboards, MSI is leading the industry to introduce the world's most advanced power supply component, DrMOS (Driver-MOSFET), which integrates Driver IC, Top MOSFET and Bottom MOSFET into one chip. Except for its outstanding performance in power saving, DrMOS possesses switch frequency which is 400% faster than traditional MOSFET and has great improvement in stabilizing power supply and voltage control. Even under heavy loading and overclocking conditions, DrMOS can still provide the most stable and efficient power supply and quality.
    More PCI Lanes
    Sideport Memory(Useful you buy a vga that support hybrid SLI or use onboard vga):  is used by ati tech. as dedicated buffer memory for integrated
    graphics,located on the motherboard.It is usually higher clocked ddr2 or ddr3 memory
     which is faster than usual system memory providing better performance for integrated graphics.
     Motherboards claim for an increased >10% performance by using sideport memory.
    3 way sli
    APS:Active Phase Switching, APS, technology is an intelligent design that helps to save energy on MSI’s mainboards. The underlying idea is to switch off the power supply as soon as no electricity is needed, and when the system needs more resources again, APS will automatically adjust electricity supply accordingly. APS will automatically detect your processor’s loading at any given time and save energy accordingly. This is only possible by means of a very advanced power controlling technology. Other than software-based solutions, APS technology stands out from MSI's own research. The specially developed IC chip can operate automatically depending on the demands of the power supply, which is to reduce the total power usage.
    Generally speaking with MSI boards, the first part of the model indicates the chipset ie 990fxa or z77 and the last set the tier. ie gd 65 / gd 80
    Generally the higher the number at the end the higher end the motherboard.

  • 990FXA GD65 No boot

    The issue:
    About 2 weeks ago my rig started to hang (crash without a BSOD), monitor would go on to standby and audio
    make that awful buzzing noise and then stop. The rig will just sit there, no reboot, nothing. I would have to turn off the psu switch off/on to restart the PC. Now this morning the PC won't boot.
    The symptoms:
    I can turn on the PC from the main button, all 8 CPU led phase indicators are on, all fans and water pump are on.
    Nothing happens after this, no boot no uefi, no posting, no beeps.
    The only way I can turn it off is via the psu switch.
    Testing:
    I tested the psu, all seems to be good, stripped the rig to just 1 ram, 1 v-card and CPU. No change.
    Specs:
    The rig is about 2 years old
    Mobo MSI 990FXA GD65
    CPU AMD Phenom II X6 Black Edition
    RAM Kingston Hyper X Genesis 4GB x 4 = 16GB @ 1600Mhz
    PSU Ultra X3 @ 850W
    Video EVGA 450GTS X2 SLI
    SSD OZC Vertex 3 @ 128GB
    H2O Cooled CPU, VIDEO, SOUTH BRIDGE.
    Any suggestions, fixes? I don't want to go and replacing parts as they are costly, I have mortgage and a family to feed. This rig I built with a lot of effort. Any help is well appreciated.

    from that it sounds like you PSU is either failing or has degraded or it may be your Memory has failed! (buzzing noise is usually Voltage Ripple from the PSU and if its severe it may have killed alot of stuff: CPU, RAM, Graphics card, SSD)
    try a CMOS clear >>Clear CMOS Guide<< and see if it works correctly as it may just be the RAM speed is overwhelming the IMC on the CPU (AMD IMC's are very crude compared to an equivalent one from Intel and are usually only able to run at a few step back (try 1333MHz))!

  • MSI 990FXA-GD65 revision

    in what difference of revision 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2 MSI 990FXA-GD65 ?

    I think it only depends on the BIOS version with which was the motherboard released.

  • 990FXA-GD65 & 970A-g45 Bios Question-HPC

    I have 2 systems with pretty close to the same bios Feature. My question is a quick one, and I hope a simple one?
    What is HPC-I know it stands for High Performance Computing-I know that it has to do with the throttling, under load.
    What is the exact reason for this? Why was it added to the bios? Is this just for FX cpu's
    Looking for a quick rundown.
    When enabling in Bios-with everything on default-do you just enable? Do you need to turn anything off-C & Q? or do you just turn in on and go?

    HPC locks the multiplier for the CPU at maximum setting so it has no LAG when asked to do a demanding job as its already running at maximum performance levels and doesn't have to wait for the CPU to realize that it needs to up the clocks from idle clocks(powersaving mode) to high performance clocks!
    if you want no delay in performance thats what HPC is for as it will hold the CPU at its full clocks all the time...
    as for C & Q that should be disabled as it may interfere with HPC mode and continue trying to throttle the CPU to lower clocks and voltages! if C&Q is off just enable HPC and it should function properly!
