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.

Overclocking the z77a-gd65 board

Hello my new found friends (I hope).I am new to both these forums and overclocking but I'm willing to learn. I have a msi z77a-gd65 mobo, 32 gigs crucial memory with an i7 3770k cpu rated at 3.5 GHz. I also have a corsair H80i cpu liquid cpu cooler. Right now the cpu is running at 4.2 GHz but I would like to try to go higher manually if I can. If any body can help with easy to follow instructions on how to do this I will be extremely grateful.

Num Lock on at boot on Z77A-GD65 board?

Is there anyway to have num lock enabled on boot on the Z77A-GD65 board? I don't seem to see any options in the bios configs for this, thanks!

I have a z77a-gd80 and don't have any option for such, but my keyboard boots with number lock enabled by default. Perhaps try a different keyboard?
Here is a way to fix the registry to enable it at windows login.

Spread Spectrum ---Disable--- why
Spread Spectrum is for unique situation where there are TONS of computers in close proximity and is used to prevent them from interfering with each other via emf. It is also less stable.
Quote
Q2 :Intel Turbo Boost ---enbled--- why
This would be enabled when using a turbo oc. It boosts the cpu multiplier when under load.
Quote
Q3 :Enhanced Turbo------ enbled----why
Enhances turbo operation by increasing the multiplier on all of the cores to the same amount.
Quote
Q4 :intrnal pll overvoltage -----enbled---- why
You can leave this on "auto" for most everyday overclocks. It increase voltage to the PLL a tab but can cause issues with sleep if you are using an everyday OC.

Really regretting the Z77a-GD65

Guys i have 4 7950s running on all the 1X slots with risers (the risers are not powered)
and every so many hours the whole system just freezes - (no it does not do me the favor of restarting )
i'm running CGminer and it pushes the cards to pretty much full power . but they are not overheating average degree is 70 to 75 .
now listen to what expense i have gone to try to slove this issue with this board !
I have TWO maxrevo 1500W PSUs (about $500 a piece) , one is jumped to work and run ONLY the 4 cards.
the other runs ONLY the motherboard.
I then went and today and purchased $100 worth of 8GB of Ripjaw 2100 Ram.
becasue in my hardware experience and actual freze of a system can be RAM related.
did it all help ?
nope not really.
have gone to the latest bios , have tried heaps of diff drivers and AMD SDK .
changed the PCIe subsystem latency .
you know what , I could handle if this board just restarted, as i have regedited the Run to start everything and also bypassed the win error.
but no . it just freezes randomly .
it has to be a PCIe bus error or something ?
edit ** yeah i picked the wrong board - not MSI fault - any suggestion on a board with 6x full size PCIe (don't mind if i have to jump the 1x slot ) want to stick with MSI

The CPU controlls them all, but this is not important now.
We have to deal with a few thousand configs every year and all kind of customers.
But this guy is a "rara avis".
Please tell me who buys a Z77A-GD65 mainboard, a G620 processor, 2 x 1500W PSUs ( ) and 4 x HD7950 (PCI-E x16 used in x1 slots)?
Unbelievable!
what is unbelievable is how dimly you seem to understand the situation - ? the PSU's will be used on other setups , i only used two to eliminate the possibility that the freezing was caused from a voltage issue related to the drawing out of the PCie - (as I'm not using powered risers)
further more your misunderstand in has extended to missing the frequent amount of time i explained that both CPU and Bandwidth between the Pcie and Card is not utilized.
the other guys seemed to understand , but you don't ?

SATA 7/8 not showing up with the Z77A-GD65

I've recently purchased a new system, and everything runs smoothly other than the fact that my computer is seemingly unable to recognise any devices plugged into the SATA 7/8 ports on the mainboard. I'm trying to install an SSD as a boot drive.
I've double checked the cables, power, resetting cmos as well as plugging it in to the other SATA ports and it shows up fine, but in the BIOS the 7/8 ports do not even display under the system information section.
I've been unable to use the LiveUpdate tool for the BIOS as it leads me to a blank screen and I end up just having to restart my computer as nothing happens after a half hour or so.
Would really appreciate some help with this.

Okay, I know how you all hate buttinskis but... I just logged on to post a very similiar conundrum with my Z77a-GD65 so I thought I'd save some virtual trees and append here.
The reason why I (and possibly Murrph) want to boot from ports 7 or 8 is because we want to run SATA3 RAID. The Asmedia ports don't appear to allow that so our only option is to RAID SATA3s from the Intel ports 1&2 which leaves only ports 7 or 8 for our SATA3 boot drive, a slightly slower boot is a small price to pay for a faster raid. Data disks are fine with the SATA2 3-6 but I'd prefer not having to add an additional SATA3 controller to set up my rig the way I'd like it to run.
Granted, Z77s and SATA3 are still in their infancy and Intel is humpin' to keep up but it would be nice if the BIOS and mobo makers could add a little more leeway with their secondary SATA3 chipsets (beyond the braggin' rights of having "4 SATA3 Ports"!)
[BTW- Thumbs Up on the Thumbs Down for "Live Updates", the technology just isn't there yet.]

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.
Quote from: CalinTM on 20-September-12, 05:29:06
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.

Dunno yet i think its all works same, i think i go with either PowerStrip or Asus SmartDoctor.
AFAIK 400W psu i have is enough for everything in single cpu pc.
Btw can someone explain why OC CPU corrupts HDD?
"Btw can someone explain why OC CPU corrupts HDD?"
That is low end mainboard not designed for OC. Mainboard probably don't have Sata lock, and you when increase CPU HTT, Sata interface freq. is increase respective and can cause HDD corruption and possible further HDD damages.
That can be avoided if you OC your CPU by multiplier instead CPU HTT. (For that you need a CPU which multiplier is unlocked in both ways, etc: like FX-62... or 5k+ Black Edition )
The simples tip, if you wanna OC you should get board with OC abilities.

Sorry we support MSI products only, have a ask about that in Asus forum instead.

Using the Z68A-GD65 board with graphics card and Lucid Virtual Driver

Edit: I found the online manual for Lucid, so the main question is answered (where to plug in the monitor). However, I'd appreciate tips or suggestions on how to use this new technology.
I play a few games, burn/rip blu-rays, but mostly use Photoshop. The latest Photoshop and Win7 both use the processing power of a discrete graphics card. However, I'm going to install an i7 2600k which also has the graphics built into it. I understand the Lucid software allows video processing with the i7 and gaming with the discrete card. It sounds as though "i-mode" is the way to go, but are there any drawbacks?
Also, while I have your attention, here's my planned build, and I'd appreciate any recommendations/suggestions. Thanks for the help.
Win7 Pro
Z68A-GD65
Intel i7 2600k
16 gigs of Corsair Vengeance Low Profile (1600)
EVGA GTX 560Ti
Crucial SSD 128gig SATA III (for the boot drive)
Plus, all the leftover gear from the old build (BD drive, 3 hard drives, OZC 700w psu)

Thanks for your feedback .

GOD its nice to have my 3000 dollor machine working again!
The BIOS seems to be stable and my rig is running good, but i have already found a qwerk!
i turned off coolnquiet, and turned off turbo core, and i have some strange clockspeeds!
Core0 = 1600
Core1 = 1600
Core2 = 1599
Core3 = 2400.1
Core4 = 1600
Core5 = 3400
I have the Multiplier in the bios set to 17 which should be 3400 on all cores!
So either the multiplier setting is screwy, or coolnquiet, or something else....
The other cores do seem to flip to higher speeds and them back to 1600 at random, not specifically durring any loads....
But other than that. Everything else seems to work fine?
How did you get your hands on the beta bios? MSI told me that there was no beta. Do you have any inside info on when the official beta drops

Disabling the live/multi update in the z77a-gd65 bios

I see a lot of stuff saying to use the board's bios app to update the bios. BUT I see nothing about disabling the bios update in the bios utility of the mb's bios.
How to disable the auto-"update". It happened again today where turning the power on, the screen goes blank, reboots showing multi-bios updating & not to turn the power off. The problem this is the 2nd time & the bios "update" is from my 10.5 to 10.3B4; so is there a difference & is 10.3B4 really the "latest" bios version....From the reading I've seen so far, is that one needed to have the bios on a fat/fat32 drive which I don't have as a hard drive; I do have fat32 flash drives which weren't even plugged in when the bios got changed!
What happened? The bios update wasn't within windows as the boot process never got that far.

1: your computer could have downloaded last time it was on a BIOS update via live update if installed and flashe 1 chip but not the other and the board was trying to flash the 2nd with the same bios on the other chip!
2: could be you have had a corupted BIOS chip and the board was trying to flash the bios from the other chip to the defective one!
is your computer working fine now?
do you have live update on your computer? (if its working remove live update as its got a 50/50 chance of corrupting your bios if it messes it up)
ps: do a CMOS clear >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
