MOVED: P67-GD65 Memory Questions
This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Undervolting & Modding Corner as it is focused on Overclocking.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=146781.0
Your memory is an example of overclocked and overvolted 1066 chips.
See the max bandwidth in the SPD Tab. PC3-8500F (533) i.e. 1066 and that is what they defaulted to, correctly.
If you inspect the SPD tab you will see 4 JEDEC profiles the last one (XMP) being DDR3-2000 at increased timings but requiring 1,65V which is not JEDEC standard.
Based on these profiles you will have to manually set your memory in the BIOS.
Go into your BIOS and manually select a DRAM ratio that sets your memory to 1333. Set your memory timings manually to 9.9.9.26, those will be the first 4 timings in the list of manually adjustable timings.
Then test your system.If that is stable, then use the same timings but set the memory to 1600. For this test increase your DRAM voltage to approx 1,55V.
Test and report back.
You need a 64bit OS to be able to access more than about 3GB available RAM. If you have XP 32bit, you should have bought 2 X 2GB and saved a couple of dollars. You can read this thread as well. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=108883.0

Hi,
I have a P67-GD65 motherboard/I7 2600k and Cosair XMS3 2000MHz memory modules. When I use XMP in the bios it marks the memory at 1888mhz, but when I use the OC Genie button and boot into windows 7, MSI control center reports the memory at 1066. The CPU is OC to 4.2. Do you need to adjust the memory manually or could this be a display issue in control center?

MOVED: K9A Platinum memory question
This topic has been moved to AMD64 ATI/SiS/VIA based board.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=103623.0vonbarter,
I did find two options which meet your criteria:
OCZ S.O.E 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory $190 after MIR
OCZ Gold Series 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory $200 after MIR
Take Care,

https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=155015.0Overclocking is at your own risk.
A moderate overclock could be regarded as a set up where you can maintain your power saving features and keep your voltages within the Intel specified values. For the Sandy Bridge CPUs it is recommended to stay below 1,4V.
OC Genie normally provides higher voltages than is really necessary and if you start tweaking yourself you may find for the same voltage, that you probably run at 4,3-4,5GHz. But each CPU is slightly different and you will need to find the upper limit. -
Ok so I know there can be variations in the voltage readings between the bios and let's say a program like hardware monitor. But in my personal experience with my particular motherboard the difference seems to be a bit high. Let me explain a bit further; in the bios I set the vcore @ 1.300v, but CPU-Z and Hardware Monitor both show 1.344v and 1.34v respectively @ full load. Is this normal? It seems a bit high to me, but what do I know lol.

Nothing to really be concerned about. Well below the industry recommended maximum of 1.400v's. -
MSI P67-GD65 (B3) Did I make a bad choice? I'm building a new system!
After reading all the problems everyone seems to be having with boot problems and freezing, did I make a bad choice? Here's what I'm putting together when the parts arrive.
It's been a few years since I built my own rig, but every pc I've ever owned I built myself except my Dell XPS 630i (got a screaming deal).

Dell XPS 630i Case and Delll 750W power supply (I know I shouldn't reuse this case)

Poor case for cooling with quad CPU and higher power consuming VGA card as you sure will end up with high temperature problems. It would be wise to get a better case. -
MSI P67-GD65 running 4 DIMMS slots
Hello,
I have two kits of memory:
2x2Gb 1600 cl7 1.65v (that runs at 1.5v with same latencies 7-8-7-24)
2x4Gb 1600 cl9 1.5v (9-9-9-24)
Both kits are Gskill Ripjaws, I have already tried lots of things without any success so far, (relax timings to high values, increase voltage, tried link/unlink, swapped kits from black to blue), I cannot boot with RAM set to 9-9-9-24 (whether 1 or 2T) and 1600Mhz, the only way is to disable XMP and let memory speed to auto.
And so memory is recognized and runs in Windows at around 1310Mhz~1315Mhz with timings 7-7-7-20 (values chosen by me since I cannot use higher speeds).
In case I set memory speed to manual, whether its 1333Mhz or other values I get three long bips and I am unable to boot.

Thanks for your help Jack, this explains my issue.
I am still used to SDRAM, I mixed different sizes, brands, single and dual sided, even speeds, it always run without problems.
I need to get used.
Quote from: Henry on 15-November-11, 14:47:34
And the fact that they are the troublesome Ripjaws to begin with. Mixing one type of troublesome Ripjaws with another type of troublesome Ripjaws and you end up with double trouble.
I see, despite of the fact Ripjaws are mentioned as compatible, I should avoid them as they mean trouble.
RIP Ripjaws
What brand would you recommend? -
MSI P67 GD65 Boot Beep change after bios flash 1H & 1I
Good evening.
First of all my pc specs:
- Msi P67 GD65 B3 Revision
- i5 2500K
- 2 * 4 gb DDR 3 G.Skill Ripjaws XF3 1600 mhz
- Sapphire HD 4870
- Ocz Vertex II 60 Gb (windows 7)
- Western Digital Blue Caviar 1 tb (storage)
Today I flashed the bios using a bootable pen drive.
Previously I had the 1.9 version and all went perfectly fine. The booting sequence was : 1 short beep, short beeps counting my usb devices and 1 final short high tonality beep.
Now I updated to version 1.I and the beep sequence changed completely: now I have 1 long low tonality beep, short beeps counting my usb devices and no final short high tonality beep . Also it takes some more seconds than version 1.9 before making the beeps!
I tried also versione 1.H (which I have in this very moment) and I experienced the same faulty beep sequence
I also tried to clear c-mos and load optimized defaults but I still have the same beep sequence in both cases.
What shall I do?
Please notice I never changed memory or cpu settings (no overclock at all)Quote
They say do not care about the beeps if the PC could work normally.
Same thing I already told you...
Forgot about those stupid beeps. As long as the system starts & boots fine, they are not critical error signals to begin with but status signs, that tell you that some things are there.
Quote
What do they mean by "the new bios should fix some beep error" ? Which bios are the talking about? Maybe the upcoming 1 L version which is going to be released in future?
What they are telling you is that the beep sequence is not something to worry about. That the beeps "lie" so to speak and that you are looking for a meaning that is not there.
Quote
What beep sequence do you have with 1.C version compared to the two videos I posted ?
It does not matter. You are getting hung up on beeps even though the system is obviously running just fine. If the beeps are getting on your nerves, then unplug the speaker from the board and enjoy the silence.
This is a non-issue. Stop being paranoid. -
[P67-GD65] OC CPU and voltage. After one year I still do not understand...
It is "provoked" by this fantastic post:

Quote from: Bernhard on 03-March-12, 19:06:19
My CPU is able to OC to 4,5 with all settings on Auto in the BIOS...
2500K running 4500MHz 1,367V on "Auto"? I can only dream about it and I am not talking about CPU but MB!
My 2500K is running 4500MHz with "int. overvoltage" option enabled but I have to chose:
1. set multi x45, CPU voltage to 1,340V, vdrop to auto - CPU-Z shows 1,384 running Prime - it`s ok IMHO, but no drop to low, idle voltage.
2. set multi x45, CPU voltage to auto, vdrop to Low - CPU-Z shows 1,424 running Prime -
or
3. set multi x42, CPU voltage to auto, vdrop to auto - CPU-Z shows 1,280 running Prime - it`s ok
I see from table that on 4100MHz Bernhard get (assuming "Auto") 1,352V! How? Maybe vdrop was set to "Low"(?) Heh... I get 1,408V with vdrop "Low" while running 4200MHz! It is the same as running auto OC Genie/Moron with button.
In other words... I do not know what is so special with Bernhard's settings to get 1,376V running 4500MHz on "Auto". I know that test was on Z68 and using multimeter but is it possible that voltage oc settings are so different (means broken) on P67-GD65 or maybe it is just a simple user error on my side(?)Quote from: Jack on 07-April-12, 23:31:00
Yes, that is possible and that does definately not mean something is broken.
"Definately" is a rather strange word in my opinion. Please, do not get me wrong it is (again!) just my opinion.
Quote from: Bernhard on 08-April-12, 00:20:36
I understand your question and possible frustration...
Frustration? No, no, no! I am rather happy with my gaming rig I just want to know, understand more.
So... Could You tell me your Vdroop setting? It is very strange that on "Auto" I get 1,280V (4200MHz, Prime blend, its ok) and You get 1,352V (IMHO too much without vdroop option) on 4100MHz. This is huge difference. Is it just a CPU batch difference? Mind You, when I switch vdroop to "Low" (I have only "Auto" and "Low" here) CPU voltage reading goes to 1,408V (4200MHz, way too much voltage!) testing Prime.
BTW: Older P67-GD65 bioses have Auto, Low and High vdroop settings. AFAIR Low and High was the same. Am I wrong? -
Memory question on Arch x86_64. 2x2048 MB = 3950 MB?
I have a naive memory question for some knowledgeable folks. My machine has 2x2 Gb sticks which should total to 4096. When I do a free -m under Arch, it's only showing 3950. Is the remaining 146 reserved or..?
$ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 3950 422 3528 0 28 157
-/+ buffers/cache: 236 3714
Swap: 2000 0 2000Thats a really good question and the result you get is normal as far as I know.
Part of it (a small part I believe) is used by the kernel, the rest of it, and this is where things are not so clear, is reserved as an agp apperture.
As far as I could tell (I have stumbled uppon that too) the problem seems to be that some bioses don't setup everything as they should.
The thing is that some devices can only handle 32bit addresses so their address is somewhere until the 4GB mark, because the bios doesn't setup the memory remapping correctly (sometimes the user has no way set anything related to memory remapping, this seems to be the case with some desktop boards and most notebooks/laptops). This memory remapping "problem" was anticipated and there are ways to properly handle that.
For some reason unknown to me (and most people that have stumbled upon this) many bioses don't setup (or allow the setup) of proper remapping. To add to the problem the kernel seems to reserve 128MB of agp aperture by default even if you don't have an agp card, this reserved address space falls in the first 4GB of addressing space therefore stealing you some memory.
I have tried to regain those MB, I have tried to recompile the kernel with a different config and I've tried several kernel boot parameters and the only thing I could regain was 64MB if I recall correctly. I can't find now what I have added to regain those 64MB, I didn't keep that option in the kernel line, 64MB were not worth the possibility of having problems later on.
I know its a pain to have that voice in the back of your head telling you that there is some memory that is being wasted, specially if you have tried a 32bit kernel with support for 64GB of address space and got 4050 MB of usable memory, but just leave it as it is, it's not worth the time and the trouble. -
Memory Question "4x1 Gig or 2x2 Gig?" what is faster?
Memory Question "*4x1 Gig or 2x2 Gig*?" what is faster?
I'm still don't know if witch to choose?
4 times 1 gigabyte Ram Memory is cheaper but if I choose for 2 times 2 GB Ram I can always beef it it later.
And is my memory faster if I'm using 4 slots with 1 gig over 2 slot with 2 gig?
I'm asking this question because I think using 4 times the memory bandwidth will be faster?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
The iMac (Late 2009): Installing or replacing memory article and your User's Guide are pretty clear, they both say that +"You can use 2 GB or 4 GB RAM SO-DIMMs of 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM in each slot."+ and not 1GB modules. > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3918
To upgrade your ram you will want at least 2 more 2 or 4GB modules and add that to the current 2 x 2GB of ram. > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iMac/DDR321.527

I can't decide, plz help me Which 2x4GB RAM to buy?
1. Geil PC3-14000 1750MHz C9 Enhance PLUS (DDR3 1750MHz, 9-9-9-28, 1.5V)
2. G.Skill F3-12800CL8D-8GBECO (DDR3-1600MHz, 8-8-8-24-2N, 1.35V)
I will try to get 1333MHz with lower timings and I would rather stay bellow 1,5V. G.Skill looks better on paper but much pricey in shop.
My system:
- Intel 2500K@4500 (1,35 idle->1,4V stress)
- P67-GD65 B3
- now I have 2x2 Corsair 1600 8-8-8-24-1T 1,65V
- ATI HD4890
- Samsung Spinpoint F1 500GB Sata II
- SoundBlaster X-Fi Gamer PCI
- Windows 7 HP 64bit SP1
- Ante True Power Trio 650W, 52A on 12V.Quote from: HU16E on 13-April-11, 03:40:04
What is wrong with the Corsair? Those have 1333 9 9 9 24 @ 1.50v. SPD profile don't they? Have you actually tried lowering the DRAM V. to them at 1333? Tried tightening the timings?
Yes! I can try of course but... I borrowed Corsairs from TR3X6G triple channel kit. I have to buy a whole new kit, so I wanna go with 2x4GB and not 4x2GB. I am almost sure that sooner or later I will try to add additional 2x4GB. My problem for now is that I can not find reviews with low voltage, tighter timings ram kits. Means: made for SB cpu.
Sadly, no one mentioning those Geils :/
When I see Geil spec: 1750MHz, 9-9-9-28 on 1,5V I can only speculate what timings I get on 1333MHz.
I wish getting 1333 with low voltage (1,5) and low timings (7-7-7-20). Like we all Impossible? Maybe.
G.Skills ECO are even closer to this with: DDR3-1600MHz, 8-8-8-24-2N, 1.35V.
Sorry to say I am starting to quoting myself. I am too old for this but...
Those mems do not look like ram: 1600MHz 8-8-8-24, 1,65V and then we have a "wonderful" 1333, 1,5 , 9-9-9-24 spd timing!
You know what I mean... Corsairs above will not run 1600MHz on 1,5V. I can test what timings I get when 1,5V on 1333MHz.
Well, maybe I am a bit too optimistic and somebody should try to help me getting back on planet Earth, hehehehe.
BTW1: Crucial 2x4GB kit not available in Poland :/ and those 2x2GB are all 1,65V.
BTW2: Did I mention that I need rather low profile kit? Ouch. My heatsink lays above ram slots. Corsair CMX/TR3X size is ok.
BTW: Thank You all for answers. Thank You very much -
Sandybridge MSI P67-GD65 with Cayman MSI R6970 Short Test :)
Just for share and I think this post is already late because there are lots of reviews in the net for the new ATI 6970 video card. At least we can say that this would be a real benchmark score and I personally did the run. Also, I’m using Intel’s new Sandybridge for the tests and I will enumerate the configuration later on.
The video card I have here is a MSI ATI R6970-2PM2D2GD5. Specs are 2GB of GDDR5 Mems running at 5500mhz / 880mhz Default Core Clock / 256Bit and with 1536 Unified Shaders.
Plain and simple design box but its huge
Accessories
More photos of the card
You have 1 Dual-Link DVI Port / 1 Single-Link DVI / 2x Mini Display Port and lastly an HDMI connection With one card alone you can actually have 4 displays for Eyefinity
Pencil case look for the Top Side hehehehe 1x 8pin and 1x 6pin Power Inputs

MSI P67-GD65 + 3770K overclocking
Hi,
I've used my P67-GD65 for almost 2years now in combination with an Intel Core i7 2600K and I was able to overclock just fine. Ever since I flashed my GD65 to v4.1 and v4.2 to support my new 3770K I can't overclock anymore (aside from Intel's default turbo of upto 39x). Also ECO mode and OC Genie mode are unresponsive in the BIOS.
Does Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks for reading,

[P67-GD65 B3] Safe way to flash 4.2 official bios and why.
Hi all!
I am still trying to remedy my problem with too high (~1.43V) voltage while 4.5GHz OC (turbo or not) with "vdroop low" enabled. Now I am on 4.39 and it`s ok on (non turbo/manual x42) 4.2GHz and auto voltage (it`s ~1.288V while Prime, etc). I know that 4.20 official bios gives % vdroop settings. I want to try it to avoid my problem but I can not find 4.20 package ready to go with MSIHQ flasher. Actually all 4.xx MSIHQ versions go from 4.3x.
I am wondering if it is possible just to compress "valcheck.com" with 4.20 official bios file and throw it via Mode 1 to MSIHQ(?)
BTW: Maybe it (flashing 4.20) does not make any sense because "%" vdroop on 4.20 will not give me anything higher then "Auto" voltage settings. I think I need ~1,38V to get stable 4.5GHz. Any other ideas?
I could try manual voltage for CPU but I want to stay with energy saving c-states. I am using C1E with my non turbo OC.
I know You can find my problem a bit boring but maybe forum's Gurus could give me a green or red light(?)Just to report!
Yesterday I finally tried to down-flash from 4.39 to 4.20 with MSIHQ. Risk taken Happily it was success!
But boy ... I should read carefully comments about 4.20 bios (grammar lost). I did not know that on this bios 100% vdroop is not ... How to say it? It is not 100% of "vdroop low" but rather 100% of "vdroop auto". So it not helped me with my main problem. I am now back to 4.39 beta bios.
BTW1: After some tests, I found that while on CPU voltage on "Auto" my CPU max voltage is ~1,29V (never more, it stabilize more or less from x40 multi CPU) while stress testing. Switching to "Low vdroop" I get above 1.4V just from x40 multi. Something is not right. It goes up with higher multi.
I tried to workaround this by Control Center. Switched to lower multi in bios, switched vdroop to "low" (voltage was OK and below the 1,4V line while stress testing) and then bump up multi in CC. Guess what ... Voltage was also bumped to the same (too high) values.
BTW2: I started to think that above problem may be my fault. From start with my P67-GD65 I experimented with OC Genie and maybe I switched some values or even reseted CMOS while using OC Genie (I know that was warning about it). I don't know, but maybe it damaged something and my motherboard behaves like this for good :/
I think that it is the end of my experiments. Bios 4.20 (% vdroop) was my last resort, but it failed.
Big thanks for all that tried to help me . It started 07-April-12:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=158139.msg1161554#msg1161554

Hi I was going through software update and this message popped up "The update "Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update" can't be saved." How do I fix this? Thanks!
