Overclocking issues with p67a-g45

I am unable to get a decent manual overclock with this board. The OC GENIE overclock is about the best stable OC I can get which is only 4.2ghz and this processor should reach much higher. Anyways here are my specs:
i7-2700k
2 x 4gb G Skill 1866 9-10-9-28
Gigabyte HD6850 OC
2 x Vertex 3 SSDs in raid 0
700 watt PSU
Thermaltake Frio CPU cooler
P67A-G45 Mobo
I've got the newest version of the Bios-5.3 which I've been unable to find much documentation or guides for. Any help would be appreciated!

Basing on experience, the latest bios are only best used when running Ivy Bridge cpu. With my i5 2500K before, I didn't have any issues overclocking it at 4.3ghz [Auto V] using official 1.J0 Bios until I upgraded to 4.xx bios. I couldn't overclock it at all. I went back to Bios 1.J0, problem solved. Since your using Sandy Bridge cpu, I suggest you do the same. I am using P67a-GD65 which is simply an older brother of your board.
Btw, my settings when I was running i5 2500K. Hope it helps, good luck!

Overclocking issues with Neo2 Platinum

hiya nocturnal
1st in Integrated Peripherals / IDE Function Setup....disable sata1/sata2 dma transfer and enable sata3/sata4 dma transfer...sata 3 is top on left side of board one closest to cpu.
2nd ... Cell Menu / DRAM configuration is where you set memory timing 1T/2T
3rd...Cell Menu / AGP Frequency ..set it to 67
just My 2 cents but why don't you take Everything back to stock (cpu & vid card) , Do the above and see if it will boot. the biggest problem you have (my opinion) is your memory...you do not state if it is pc3200/400 ...if it is go 200 Max Memclock (step 2, 1st option)
set the CAS settings to stock..see if you can boot to windows, then and only then go Play as in see what your sandie will do with that memory..Leave your vid card stock until you get a stable windows enviorment...also if you do shift F2 ..alt F3 it opens up other settings within our bios
I believe you will be upgrading your memory real soon if ya got the o/c bug
Hope this helps
ps...by the way what type of power supply do you have ?

MOVED: Overclocking issue with P7N SLI

https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=126513.0

OK guys, just a little update. My OC is now showing up in Windows and is now making a difference in my benchmark scores. All I had to do was drop the multi to 8 and then up the fsb to 1600 (for 3.2 ghz) and it booted normally. It's passed prime for 8 hours now, so I have no reason to believe its not stable.
Still not sure why my OC wouldn't work in windows until I dropped my multi tho, any suggestions?
Only thing I can guess is that the OC wasn't stable at that fsb (fsb hole), resulting in a failed OC. After dropping the multi, I added some Vcore and upped the FSB voltage a bit, and voila!
Headed for 3.4 GHZ tonight =D

Overclocking issue with P7N SLI

Hey guys, first time I've posted since I got my board, because I have had zero issues with it. But that, unfortunately, was at stock settings. The minute i overclocked the board, I loved its stability. A Q6600 to 3.0 GHZ on stock voltage and auto everything! However, I have run into a problem...
When I boot up with a 1420 FSB, I get a clock speed of 3.19GHZ in the POST info, and it loads windows (Vista 32bit) instantly, no problems. However, all of my applications (CPUZ, windows system properties,, etc) show me at 3.0GHZ still. I have run benchmarks between 3.0 and 3.2 and I see no variation in points, at all. I'm booting into windows fine with is overclock, but windows is not accepting and applying it!
Any info that anyone can give would be much appreciated. FYI, I am running the current 2.1 bios from this site, actually the board came with said bios installed. Thanking you all in advance...

MOVED: Weird USB & overclocking issues with Z97 Gaming 7 board

This topic has been moved to GAMING Motherboards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=252886.0

Yes, well partly at least:
- found my USB ports to work after I enabled all the options there were in bios (that's a start!)
- found USB sticks to work normally after uninstalling the USB port drivers (ASMedia)
So far, so good at least.
Then I remembered my short "voyage" with a Z87 board. Simply entering numbers seems to work. I like the idea as it keeps total newbies away, but I hate it for not seeing any kind of range.
Especially now, as the platform is totally new to me, and even the default values show up in bright red when I enter them manually. No sort of documentation to be found in the manual, so I hope I'll stumble across something like a "MSI-specific" OC tutorial (most of them seem to concentrate on Asus and Asrock, as usual).
Thanks for trying to help though I couldn't find a button to delete the topic so I thought locking it would be a good alternative.
PS: I'm on Win 8.1 now, which updated my previous Win 8 installation, and it's running fine now. Using things like "show hidden devices" & uninstalling old drivers has helped me to keep my installations for quite some time normally. Often across various platforms even (used to be far more years ago as I don't upgrade as much anymore).

Overclocking issue with a Z68A-G43 MB and 4*2 GB DDR3 Gskill memory kits

Hi,
On my old MB, I overclocked my I5 2500k CPU to 4.2 Ghz , It was running with 4*2GB DDR3 modules and everything was stable since several months.
I use the same components on my new Z68A-G43 MB but I don't manage to start my PC in the same conditions.
The PC runs well in normal mode (not OC ) with the 4x2GB DDR3 modules
The PC runs well when overclocked to 4.2 Ghz (and it is very stable) with 2*2 GB GSkill DDR3 (1600 MHz CAS 7, reference - F3-12800CL7 2GBECO) modules placed in DIMM 1 & 3
But, when overclocked, the PC refuses to boot with 4*2GB DDR3 modules, after adding 2x2 GB GSkill DDR3 (1600 MHz CAS 8 , F3- reference - 12800CL8 2GBRM ) modules placed in DIMM 2 & 4
Same problem with 2x2 GB KINGSTON DDR3 (1600 MHz CAS 9, reference 99005403 - 125.A01LF ) modules placed in DIMM 2 & 4
I tried the most of the recommended settings in the overclocking forum: OC genie enabled or not , XMP enabled or not , timings manually set according to information given by CPUZ , decreasing the frequency of the DDR3 to 1333 Mhz...
In summary, my PC refuses to boot due to a memory issue (3 beeps at launch) when I put 4*2GB of DDR3 with a 4.2 Ghz OC (whereas it was running fine for months on my old motherboard P67A- GD65 ).
The PC runs fine with 4*2GB of DDR3 without OC or with only 2*2GB of DDR3 with a 4.2 Ghz OC.
Do you have any idea how to solve this problem ?
thank you for your advice

Yes. Get a factory matched and tested together RAM kit. Corsair work well on this series mainboard. That or try to increase the DRAM V. to 1.65v's, loosen the timings for all sticks to 9 9 9 24, CR 2. Good luck!

i want to overclock the cpu without overclocking the ram, is that possible with this motherboard??
for example: 333Mhz cpu and stay at 800Mhz for ram
the cpuz is reading actually 379 (i cant remember the exact value, but is around this) for ram when i have set to manual 667 why this happen??? (the cpu is at 300)
The memory speeds you can select are not absolute but FSB:RAM dividers
533Mhz equals the 1:1 divider
667Mhz equals the 4:5 divider
800Mhz equals the 2:3 divider
This means if you select 667Mhz RAM in bios you don't force 667Mhz but you select a FSB:RAM ratio of 4:5
At stock FSB of 266Mhz this makes : 266 / 4 = 66.5 * 5 = 333 Mhz (666 Mhz DDR) wich is the 667Mhz you select.
However, if you change FSB the RAM speed changes along with it.
So, for your 300Mhz this makes : 300 / 4 = 75 * 5 = 375 Mhz wich is +- the 379 Mhz cpuZ reads.
If you want 333Mhz fsb and ram @ 800 select 667Mhz RAM in bios and set FSB to 333Mhz, also enter RAM timings manually.
This will result in 333 / 4 = 83.25 * 5 = 416 Mhz (832 Mhz DDR) for ram - The gskill should be able to take this mild 32Mhz overclock.
The board might not make it to 333Mhz tho - It's a budget board wich overclocks poorly.

Weird USB & overclocking issues with Z97 Gaming 7 board

I just had to replace my trusty Z77-G45 board with a new Z97 Gaming 7. The board itself looks fine so far but some things just don't work as I'd expect them to.
1. USB -> as soon as I connect a USB stick, Windows will drop me a blue screen. This only happens with sticks! Memory cards, external hard drives and so on are fine. It doesn't matter whether I use the front or back ports, problem remains the same.
I even tried to re-set the bios USB settings (they were enabled by default), but even disabling them doesn't do any good.
Yes, current Intel and ASMedia drivers have been installed prior to this.
2. Overclocking. I can't change several values in the bios. Values in brackets can be changed, as usual, but many others remain to be "fixed". Starting with the "optimized defaults", could there be anything that blocks these settings?
Bios is current, version 1.8, and CMOS was cleared completely (jumper set, battery & cord removed) after flashing.

Yes, well partly at least:
- found my USB ports to work after I enabled all the options there were in bios (that's a start!)
- found USB sticks to work normally after uninstalling the USB port drivers (ASMedia)

well everything i wrote was based on the guys serial number reading ability. ill live with 2800 mhz. thanks anyway
That's all fine and good, but not always the case. Sure, some batches/runs are better than others, and some weeks of production are just good clockers, but it is hard to tell what ANY chip will do just by looking at the markings on it. Getting 3G on stock vcore would be almost unheard of - unless the chip was made to run at 3G of course. 2800Mhz isn't too bad and exactly what I run on my Brisbane 24/7.
The only real way to know what any chip will do, IMO, is to buy from someone who has abused already tried it

Found a fix for me, rolled back the bios and used the built in mobo utility to flash it. Seems to work perfectly now.
Thinking it may be the latest bios release that is has an issue or two.
to which BIOS you have flashed back?

MOVED: Overclocking e8400 with P7n 750i SLI Platinum

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=124268.0

Hi there,
The CPU multiplier is indeed locked at 9 (at least it won't go any higher). As you mentioned, the cpu clock is your FSB X multiplier. In your case, 333X9.
So, when one cannot change the multiplier, we instead change the bus speed. You need to increase the FSB speed. Beware that this will also change your memory speed, so depending on the ram spec and fsb:ram ratio, it may be running overclocked.
Generally you can achieve a small overclock by merely adjusting the FSB. To get a larger, stable overclock you will inevitably need to increase your voltages. There are a few guides on how to do this stickied in this forum. I recommend reading them and doing some research before you start any voltage changes.

the problem with your thread is we do not know what memory you intend to use, and why are you talking about 266 MHz while you can have 800 MHz memory ?? usually you can increase cpu speed by up to 30% and naturally FSB will go up accordingly. so tell us more
Sorry, for me it is complicated to speak English I have got already ram ddr2 at 800 mhz. I'm talking about 266 mhz because my CPU works well without change v-core (since 280 mhz) and this mainboard doesn't allow to change v-core

Don't listen to anyone here but Stick. He gave the best advice.
Now, it might be a good idea to flash to a newer BIOS. If you have a Winnie or Venice, then v1.5 should be fine and was the one I used for a long time. The next move is to make sure your SATA drive(s) are plugged into ports 3 and 4, because ports 1 and 2 are not locked and will hinder your OC's and could lead to disc corruption and/or a borked OS.
You dropped the HTT multi to 4x, good move. That caused me a bunch of headaches at first. The next move is drop the RAM to the 166 divider. Don't drop your timings to 2.5,5,5,7 (this isn't DDR2), it is unecessary. Simply drop the RAM to the 166 divider and increase the HTT to 240Mhz. That will put your RAM at about 200Mhz, or its rated speed, while OCing the CPU to 2xxxMhz. This will rule the RAM out as a possible cause for your problem. Once the RAM is out of the way, work on the CPU.
Depending on what type of chip you have, and how well it OC's, you may or may not have to increase the vcore. I have a 3000+ Venice that will do 2500Mhz with the stock 1.376v, and a 146 Opty(San Diego) that will do 2750Mhz with the stock vcore of 1.376v. It all depends on the chip at this point. If it doesn't post, or boot, increase the vcore one bump. If that doesn't do it, then bump it again. I would go no higher than 1.5v to reach 2400 - 2600Mhz though...
Once the you have it running at a speed you are happy with, and have tested it for stabilty, you can then move on to playing with the RAM and its timings. For now though I would worry more about getting the CPU where I'd want it then the RAM.
The Neo2 is probably one of THE best s939 AGP boards out there, and they are capable of some really sick stuff...Keep trying, be patient, and good luck.
LOL...It's user to user forum so why not you listen to others people advice?
