cpu core to 1.350, cpu
You should not need that much VCore. Mine is running at 4,5GHz under full load and I have my VCore at 1,28V. I am not saying that yours may be that low, but I would most certainly reduce it gradually after testing each step along the way, i.e Prime 95. Once you hit Blue screen error 124, you will know the VCore is too low and then you up it again by one increment. Just a tip

MSI P67A GD65 System Freezes while Gaming

hey
i m facing system hangs/freezes while gaming. it is all along working fine but suddenly problem arrises outta nowhere. mostly happens in Metro Last Light Game. i did change multiple things like 2 different rams stick, Bios are 4.1v (at default), i tried 2 different GPUs like 290 and 580 but stilll facing same issue. dont know why.
if you can help on it this, it would be alot appreciated.

What is the actual power supply?
Follow this >>Posting Guide<<
Make sure you run latest BIOS.
PS: Intel ME driver is crucial, without it system won't work properly, and that's why it didn't freeze anymore. Same applies to GPUs: if you have 400W power supply and want to run 2-way SLI, it will be fine until you install drivers, which make the computer and graphic cards recognise how much power they have and so on

MSI P67A-GD65 and other 1155's whine

Hello MSI and community.
Recently I decided to build a PC especally for minimun noise.
I waited a long time for the B3 boards so I wouldn't have to go through the trouble of returns. Sadly this didn't work out.
First of all I ordered the cheapest and first mobo(gigabyte ph67-ud-b3) that was relesed. Soon as I plugged it in and Windows 7 got to boot screen (from the DVD) it started giving off a high pitched whine.
After alot of research I RMA it and ordered a Asus P8H67-M LX. Loaded it up and thought woohoo no whine, then as soon as windows finishes installing the drivers (first time on windows) of goes the whine again.
I RMA that 1 too and bought the MSI P67A-GD65 advertized as "whistle free" as well as people on another forum saying they didn't hear anything from theirs. This one does the same but I can't keep sending back boards for RMA and want to keep this one so I'm here hoping to try and resolve the issue with MSI.
I have tested these boards with Casecom 500w, ozc gamextream 700w, antec true power 650w and coolermaster pro m 600w with them behind a door to eliminate any fan noise.
MSI GPUS: 8800GS, 8800GTX and 560TI as well as onboard from the h67 board.
I've tried many differant BIOS settings, nothing but disabling C-STATE (fully disabled) effected it. (I havn't manually played with volts)
On the other 2 boards I noticed it seemed to dim when I unplugged all USB devices and in their BIOS it was c3/c6 I had to disable, MSI board doesn't whine as loud as the other 2 but it's more constant but with a morse code type theme to it which seems to be coming from CPU socket whenever the PC is idle, it's equally noisy from either side of the board. It's very annoying and accually gives me a headache as maxium distance.
Alot of people have said their 1155 board don't make a sound but 3/3 for me have so I'm not sure what to think.
I'm currently running with c-state disabled but Turbobooster only seems to go to 25% and slower clock speed on my i5-2500k and I assume for power usage, all things I don't want.
Can you give any information at all? Might it be possible to correct with a BIOS update? I'm open to any suggestions and will keep checking back here.
Hope you will be able to work with me on this issue.
Thank you in advance, I've prefered to go with MSI all my computering life.

Used the same CPU cooler on all three? That would be my wild guess.
I test it fanless of course but no I have used mutiple heat sinks aswell.

What's wrong with throttling down at idle or low usage? Who sits at a stop light with the engine at full throttle?
I'm not too sure what disabling C-state accually does but when running Orthos I saw speed was at 3.6ghz instead of the 3.3 while disabled.

MOVED: P67A-G45 Windows 8 Overclock Speedstep Issues

So my bad...there is an Intel Turbo Mode setting under the OC tab. It was enabled and I tried to disable it. No change...
So then I started turning off C1E and C-State stuff. That only made it worse. According to CPU-Z the CPU was getting full voltage all the time. At least with C1E/C-States enabled the voltages will back off with no load on the CPU.
The Win 8 Task Manager is very strange. It is showing the frequency bouncing around 3.3-4.2 while CPU-Z shows it hard locked at 4.2 I am not sure what the Task Manager is using for its calculations. But even the Task Manager hard locked at 4.2 with everything disabled.
I have the same board (P67A-G45) and I am having the same problem. When I set the multiplier in the BIOS, the CPU will bounce between 3.3GHz and whatever I set the multiplier to. I am running the V1.18 BIOS. With Windows 7, I could set the multiplier to whatever I wanted, enable C-States, and the CPU would throttle down to 16x without any issue or any interaction from me.
You can use ThrottleStop to check the multiplier more accurately then CPU-Z. Also in ThrottleStop, you can click "Set Multiplier" -> "Power Saver" -> "Turn On" and the CPU will run like a champ at 16x multiplier, so its definitely possible. This 16x get reported in CPU-Z and in the Windows Task Manager as well. Once you disable Power Saver, its back to 33x + multiplier land.
I hope a solution to this will be found, seems really silly to install a new OS and have CPU multiplier issues...

The "Fix My USB Key" process worked. Thanks.
Unfortunately the re-flash of the BIOS to official 4.3 didn't make any difference to the problem.
CPU is still throttling down from 4.5GHz to 3.9GHz as soon as load is applied.
Can you confirm what settings I should have for -
C1E Support
Overspeed Protection
Intel C-State
Any other ideas?
I do a lot of video encloding work and this throttling is increasing encode times significantly, i.e. from 4-hours to 7-hours.

Bottom line is if you want decent easy OC then get a 'K' series CPU. You're getting frustrated trying to OC a CPU that wasn't designed to OC to begin with. You're not going to get much of a performance increase from the piddly little bit of an OC on that 2300 anyway.
Thanks for answer, but I know those facts very well as I am computer builder & troubleshooter
I was just curious, and far away from frustration, how much is worth my new "baby", let me remind my first sentence:
"I've just bought a SB mobo & CPU and try to figure out what can I do with it in terms of o/c. Just for my future reference."
I don't know why people treat this as newbie stu*id question "OMG, mummy bought me this PC and my brother told me what o/c is and I want to make a rocket now"
I always do such "recko" like maximum o/c after purchase, which allows me to build the future strategy for years, that's all
BTW, I'm happy with it (so far) as it's noticeably faster, cooler and more energy efficient than Q9550 I have had before. And the whole platform doesn't make my soundcard having "cracked", so I'd say it's a fullness of happiness.

Try 'disable' of EuP 2013.
thank you! that cured it, and now it restarts as it should, no issues.
I also tried your settings, and it didn't work "out of the box", so I went to my old ones, and changed to 1T, that should be enough for me anyway. I could play with the settings a little I guess, but changing some of them and hitting save causes the same behavior shutdown-wait-restart, and I'm not sure which ones do that.
dram frequency and sata mode for one do that, as intel vt-x/vt-d settings, not sure about timings, sometimes it shutdowns, sometimes restarts.
Quote from: NovJoe on 15-September-11, 23:26:24
How about restarting when the system is in stock settings?
sorry, didn't try that, even if that would work, there is no point for me.

QPI 1.45V's? CPU voltage is cranked up +0.41 for a 4.0 OC? What does bios H/W Monitor CPU Vcore read, & bios Green Power Vcore at that setting? My i7 950 gets 4.0 with only needing 1.296V's! I wouldn't think any more than a high of 1.375V's would be needed unless the CPU is a real dud. Since the RAM is rated for 2000, may as well give it a try with these settings since your multi & bclk is at 20X200, CR 2, 10 10 10 28, Mem. Ratio 5, Uncore Ratio 10, DRAM V. 1.65V's, QPI 1.30V.s. If that don't work, I would recommend setting the RAM up this way, Mem. Ratio 3, Uncore Ratio 6, CR 1, 9 9 9 24, DRAM 1.60V's, QPI on Auto.
Probably caused by over-volting something, that is part of the CPU Voltage Regulator Module (VRM)
As a guess when you over-volted back in Dec. it caused irreparable damage and it finally failed.

Non B3 version, as im aware ME can't be flashed,
therefor update to newest BIOS base isn't possible
Do not try MSI updater all in one .exe file, which would brick the board for sure for such case.
Although you can still have a try by safest flashing way,
use this bios archive:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/28rdsq4lzzwmeyl/430.rar?dl=0
and try again using the >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< mode 1 point to bios archive file as before
if can't be flashed it will through an error and will refuse to flash it
Hey Svet, thanks for the reply.....
Well im not quite sure what happened, my new GPU got delivered and i thought you what i'll install it to the board and see what happens, im sure it won't work but hey it's worth a try......
Well everything so far is working fine, GPU installed, drivers installed and i have tried a few games and they look great.
Could it be that the bios is flashed to 4.3 but its not showing on the screen?
Thanks

P67A-GD65 (B3) i7-2600k CPU Sandybridge with wrong Ivybridge BIOS

Svet,
I downloaded the USB flash tool and am getting ready to use it but need to make sure I am doing this correctly.
IMS
You see, I made a mistake and upgraded my BIOS to an ivybridge version when I have a sandybridge . The current BIOS Is version E7681IMX v4.3. My MOBO is an MS-7681 V2.01
Before trying the forum update tool I tried to flash using the M-Flash utility but tells me that the BIOS is not compatible with this version.
I am not sure if you need more info, but I hope you can help me out. I rather not buy another MOBO but ready to do so if that is my last option.
Victor

If being at 4.3 going back to a Sandy bios is downgrading.
A downgrade requires a special archive and is impossible without.
If wanting to downgrade to 1.19/7681v1J (latest Sandy bios) you must use the attached and NOT unpacked archive.
For BIOS Update >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< => Mode 1: Point to archive file!
*NOTE: Make sure you unplug your PSU from A/C power and properly >>Clear CMOS Guide<< after flashing.

Nothing wrong with a solid 3.8. In the days of the P7N Diamond, I would have tried a cartwheel with a handstand finish to get a stable 3.8.

BIOS 4.2 P67A-GD65 flash failed and motherboard HS ?

Hi,
I just ruined my motherboard MSI thanks, I possesses a P67A-GD65 and I wanted to put the last bios 4.2, the pc is stable at 100%, not overclocked etc .... I run the flash freeze win7 64 and freeze .... Now this does not boot anymore when I turn on the pc it'm black screen, it goes off, it turns on black screen in a loop ....
is there a method to reflash the bios or is what it is .....
Service thank you in advance

Try what froggy said but frorm the sound of it, you bricked the board.
If after clearing the cmos et al, you cannot post you will need to either take it to a computer shop or return it to msi for a bios flashing. I think shipping costs a little more than the computer shop but it only takes a few minutes.

Random lock ups with MSI P67A-GD65 (B3). Please help!

Hello all,
I just built a new system with the following components:
MSI P67A-GD65 (B3)
Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz
EVGA 012-P3-1570-AR GeForce GTX 570
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Thermaltake Black Widow W0319RU 850W ATX 12V PSU
Antec Lanboy air case
2X Western Digital VelociRaptor WD1500HLFS 150GB in RAID0 running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
This was supposed to be my dream computer, but it has turned into a nightmare! It locks up constantly. Usually the mouse pointer will disappear and the computer will just freeze up. This normally seems to occur after the computer has been idle for a while. I have read that there might be compatibility issues with the MSI P67A-GD65 and the GTX 570 video cards. Can anyone confirm this? Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this? The only thing event viewer is showing is the unexpected shutdown when I have to power cycle it. Thanks in advance!

That can happen, & it can really mess things up if two kits are attempted to be run together. The platform is DDR3 1333 as to native support by the CPU IMC. If the system can't run on 1333 RAM speed at CR 1, 9 9 9 24 @ 1.50v's, then something is wrong. No system should ever have to use an OC (or X.M.P.) as a workaround to make it work. That's why I recommended the Crucial 1333. Plug one stick in the blue primary dimm slot to get everything loaded & checked out, & go from there.
Exactly which SATA ports are you using for the HDD's & RAID? White Marvell or Intel SATA III, or the black SATA II?
Unfortunately, my local shop didn't have the Crucial, so I grabbed the Corsair instead. The Velociraptors are running from SATA 1 and 2 (the top white connectors). I also have 2X HITACHI Deskstar 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s running in RAID0 from SATA 3 and 4 for storage (this computer is intended for HD video editing, compositing in After Effects, etc.). Sorry I forgot to mention that in the original post!

MSI P67A-GD65 Not Posting, unsure of beep code meaning

Just swapped out my old K9A platinum for a P67A-GD65 and I can't seem to get it to post. I'm getting a beep code of five beeps (long ones maybe? google indicates "process error") but I'm not sure what that means. Pulled the video card, tried my two sticks of ram in slot 1 one at a time, disconnected every device but still getting the same code. Any ideas on what might be causing this?
Edit: Tried clearing the CMOS as well but no luck
Sound @ post:
Memo.m4a - 0.11MB
Specs:
MSI P67A-GD65 (B3) Motherboard
Intel Core i7-2600K processor
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) ram
CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V power supply
MSI R5770 Hawk Radeon HD 5770 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 graphics card

It seems I'm not the only one having weird issues with this board. I have the exact same board, v1.8 BIOS and Gskill F3-17000CL9D-8GBXLD memory.
If I enable the XMP profile for this memory, this system will not post. It does not matter if I raise the DRAM voltage and I/O (memory controller) voltage to their acceptable limits, it does not matter if I manually enter in the timings of the memory specified on the box. XMP = no post.
So after disabling XMP I kept the memory at 1600mhz, which worked fine. I decided to try 1866mhz and a little more voltage. This seemed to work fine...for awhile. This morning my system would not post. I had to clear the CMOS (not use the jumper but literally remove the battery). Ever since then my system will BSOD after a few minutes on startup unless I manually enter in my memory timings (I tried two sticks from different vendors).
I know I don't have bad memory, and the fact is that this board will not post with vendor specified settings.
All I can suggest is to pull the CMOS battery and try one stick of memory.
