MSI 890GXM-G65 Thuban Issues

Hi,
Sorry if I post this in the wrong section.
I've been using v1.0 original bios for MSI 890GXM-G65 board without any problems.
Recently I tried updating to v1.2 to enable support for X6 1055T as stated in the link below.
My cpu code is HDT55TFBK6DGR which is the 125W version and requires v1.2 bios.
http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=prodcpu2&prod_no=2012&maincat_no=1#menu
I am unable to turn off Cool'n'Quiet feature for the Thuban core.
Enabling or disabling the setting in BIOS has no effect at all.
Multipliers keep dropping to x4 from the stock x14.
I also could not find any setting in BIOS to switch off Turbo Core.
I posted the issues in detail here:
http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showpost.php?p=45130922&postcount=66
I found out that the MSI 790FX-GD70 also do not have such a feature to disable Turbo Core.
In comparison, the Biostar TA890GXE has that setting in its BIOS so this is not a specific issue for 890G-based boards.
Lastly, I could not get CPU-Z (or any other programs for that matter) to display accurate readings of the cpu vcore (set in BIOS).
Will MSI be releasing a new BIOS soon to fix these issues ?
Thanks.

Ah, that explains it. How's that Thuban CPU running at stock levels compared to other Quad-cores (if you have had any)?
Actually that hardwarezone link in my first post goes to my mini review of the X6 1055T.
http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showthread.php?t=2731901
Unfortunately I only have synthetic benchmarks to compare the results with.
This is my very FIRST phenom chip from AMD.
The only quad I ever tried was the Intel Q6600 (used for 1-mth) before sticking to 2-core processors ever since. LOL!

I don't see a bios update yet for the 790FX-GD70. This mb I am running is my brothers...haha. I am waiting for the 890FX-GD70.
One of our local overclocker "ridney" is using the X6 1055T on MSI 790FX-GD70 with the latest 1.11b1 bios.
He has the same cpu batch as me but he is on water. I'm not willing to go >1.52V on air for this hexacore chip (not yet anyway).
He had posted all his OC'ing @ http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=249606
The screenshot posted (towards bottom of page) @ https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=136443.0 was his!!   
The reason I posted my inquiry here is because I thought there would be newer (beta) bios for the 890GXM-G65 which MAY allow me to disable turbo core.

  • MSI 890GXM-G65 Overclocking Problems

    I have:
    MSI 890GXM-G65 motherboard
    4 GB OCZ PC3-16000 Platinum Edition memory (OCZ3P20004GK) runs at 1.95v and 2000 MHZ at 9-9-9-30
    Sapphire 5870 1 GB video Card
    AMD 955 Processor (Black Edition that runs at 3.2 GHZ)
    Without anything else overclocked I cant even raise my front side bus to 204 without it not posting at 16 multiplier.  203 post fine.  I upgraded Bios to 1.B.
    I have several other questions, but this is the first concern I have and that I would I like to address.  Hope my motherboard is not not "broken".  This is mainly just a thread starter and will get into more overclocking questions/problems later one...after addressing this issue.

    Here are my screenshots:
    Im sorry but I made a mistake.  Before I use the Control Center my Ram speed is around 1666 instead of 1706.  I get 1706 after I up the Front Side Bus in Control Center to 256.  Hope this didnt confuse any. 
    As far as the Hyper Transport speeds.  I am getting as you can see in the mid 2500's.  The Box and website show 2600.  So is this a misprint because you would think that 2600 would be out of the box instead of an overclock?
    My 12 volt rail is 70 amp.  I am using the 850 watt Kingwin MK Power Power Supply.
    And again another question that really hasnt been answered yet.  If I can overclock on the software side of things (Control Center) should't I be able to overclock on the hardware side as in bios.  For example I am getting 250 FSB on Bios, but I can only get up to 256 in Control Center.  You would think that if it works in Control Center is should work in Bios.  And this is a very Stable FSB too (after testing with 3dMark etc.)

  • MSI 890GXM-G65 mother board help

    Hi, need some major help.  I just got a MSI 890GXM-G65 mother board / AMD Phenom II X6 processor.  Installed it in the Antec Fusion Micro ATX case and the fans spin, seems like everything is powering but no video from the onboard video.  I’m using a corsair vx 550 powersupply.  No matter what I try I can get anything on the monitor.  Is this a grounding issue? Powersupply not good enough? I just tried taking the memory out to see if it would beep and nothing.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

  • MSI 890GXM-G65 @ Core Unlocking

    Hi guys, I'm new here in this forums.
    I just want to ask for those who uses their MSI 890GX-G65 for core unlocking.
    specs:
    AMD Phenom II X2 555BE (4 cores stable)
    MSI 890GXM-G65 bios @ 1.6
    G.Skill Ripjaws 1600 CL7 (running @ 1333mhz 7-8-7-24 @1.6v)
    MSI R5770 Hawk
    OCZ ModXstream 600w
    My issue is I've unlocked my processor and it's pretty stable, enable ACC. then boot OK.
    after some hours of gaming, PC is shutdown. After a few hours, I opened it again and it boot again as X2 yet ACC is enabled.
    I have to disable ACC reboot then enable ACC again to unlock it again to x4.
    Another issue is OS loading, it's 4x longer in loading than the normal once, my basis in the OS Loading in my PC is after the logo of windows appear, caps,scroll,num lock leds will lit and the mouse then after that it should continue to login screen, but in my case after the lit ups, it hang for a minute(or longer) before continuing to the log in screen. i tried it with all stock no OC, regular OS loading only takes place after reformatting my Computer. after that it returns this kind of case.

    I think it's stable enough, btw the x4 to x2 scenario is not always happening. but it has high chances the your next cold boot would you're on X2.
    and i do Play games(2 hours minimum), do stress test(1 hour minimum  then back to stock), and overclocking(only when gaming). and i think it's really stable. 

  • 890GXM-G65 Boot issue (onboard video?)

    Well i was going to upgrade my computer with this mobo and a new video card and ofc new ram and cpu since i was still on ddr2 and dual core. well i go to put everything together and at first when i had the video card in there it was booting up fine with one beep every time it showed the bios thing. The first problem was though that after the post screen happened it sat there so long at the black screen with blinking cursor before going into the windows 7 setup, the cd drive kept spinning up in bursts during that long wait. And also the bios was only recognizing half the memory when i put them in slot 1 and 2 so now in slot 1 and 3 they are always recognized. Then after i got into the gui part of the w7 setup about halfway through it would either freeze or restart (mostly restart) but not part of the expected restarts that the windows installation does. So i took out the video card thinking maybe that was the cause and tried to just use the onboard video. Now when i try to boot it up all the fans start spinning, cd rom spins up but no signal is ever sent to the monitor like it was unplugged, and also i dont see any activity from the hdd based on the front led and also the keyboard never lights up (blue backlit keys) and mouse laser never comes on. I did get a chance to run memtest for a few passes and no errors, so not really sure what to do now. anyone experience something similar?

    psu: 700w coolmax psu (the same psu used in the last system so i know its not bad, maybe under rated?)
    and actually got a cmos checksum bad error one of the last times i was able to boot up

    well apparently it seems as if that might have been part of the issue, but it still wasnt fully resolved. I actually did have a 7200 1TB seagate drive in there that was plugged in to the psu but not connected via sata because i didnt want to make the mistake of wiping it. i unplugged the power from it and it booted up to the bios screen where ( i know i had previously set it to internal video after i took out the card ) it read pcie so then i changed that, rebooted and proceeded to install windows 7 ultimate.
    so i sucessfully install it all the way through but now it freezes every so often and actually got a bsod it memory dumped and restarted. it just randomly restarts like when i try to get my experience rating, and other stuff. i was able to install all the latest drivers and everything so im not exactly sure whats going on here.. could it be the PSU? or could it have something to do with my ram not being compatable or not being ran at the right voltage or other setting?
    I did a few different PSU calculators and none of them even came close to needing 700 w and i even selected 2 physical cpus just to see if that would push it over.. and i also ran my old system with no probs on it although it was only a dual core ddr2.
    I also have a front panel sound blaster x-fi plugged in
    Also the cpu temp is 30-34c every time i check in bios, so i dont think its a heat prob

  • MSI 890GXM-G65 Black Screen

    Hey guys, new member, but Ive been a longtime reader.
    I have the MSI 890GXM-G65 motherboard with the following other components:
    AMD X4 820 CPU
    8GB (4x2GB DDR3 1333) ram
    1TB Western Digital
    Antec High Current 400W PSU
    DVDRW
    I have a black screen on the PC when it boots. The monitor doesn't turn on at all. I removed all peripherals except CPU, motherboard, ram and power supply.
    Here's what I have tried:
    1. Replaced RAM with other known working ram
    2. Tried one stick in each of the 4 slots individually.
    3. Tried a different power supply.
    4. Installed a PCI express video card.
    5. Switched CPUS to an AMD B73 CPU
    6. Tried VGA, DVI and HDMI on the motherboard output.
    None of these things have worked. The CPU fan spins at what appears to be full speed, all four blue LEDs are on, and there is no video.
    Do you have any suggestions as to what I can do?

    It isn't a new build. It was working before with these exact specs for about a year. This is my HTPC, so I don't use it  too often, last used a week ago. I turned it on today and got nothing. So I've been replacing every part I can.
    Forgot to mention  that I also cleared the CMOS, which did nothing.

  • 890GXM-G65 Ram issues

    Hey guys, I know there are a lot of ram posts here already and many more on the web but I have spent the last 3 days reading them and trying to follow their guides and nothing has worked for me so I want to see if there is anyone that can help me for my specific problem....
    Ok I built a new system with the 890GXM-G65 mobo and an AMD Phenom II X6 1055T processor. I am also installing a pair of G.Skill F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM memory sticks (I know these are designed for the Intel's but read many people using them for the AMD after changing the timings and loving the performance), I pulled my old 1TB hard drive out my other system to use in this one which already has Windows XP Pro installed.
    My problem is that the pc reboots after the windows loading screen. I have tried changing the timings in the "Advanced DRAM Configuation" in the CMOS (7-7-7-24, 7-8-7-24, 8-8-8-24, 9-9-9-24) and not had any improvements, I have tried using the OC Genie Lite to auto find the correct settings, I have changed DRAM voltages (1.5-1.65) and NB Voltage (1.3-1.35) I also have changed the FSB/DRAM Ratio from 1:3.33 to 1:4 to change from 1333 to 1600 with no change as well.
    I am able to log into Windows safe mode, in fact at first I thought it was a driver issue and loaded all the drivers in safe mode already.
    Another issue I see and dont understand is in the "Memory-Z" in the CMOS I never see any of the memory settings change even though I set them in the Advance config, is this supposed to change?
    Any help would be much appreciated, I am pretty sure its a memory issue from what I have seen on the web, I bought the memory from newegg.com and have a short time left that I could probably swap them out for something different if that is what I have to do, but I would really like to make these work.
    Thanks guys.

    Download and install memtest86+ on a usb drive and boot from that. Do a 24hr memory test to tell you if the ram+cpu is good or not.
    After that if you don't want to mess with your original drive, install XP on a spare drive and see if it's stable.
    I'm using G.Skill Ripjaws with my 1055t and it's been stable so far.
    Quote from: mattmatt77 on 03-June-10, 07:01:18
    My other mainboard which my hard drive is from is a MSI 975X Platinum. A rep from G. Skill told me to test each memory individually and if I still have problems to replace the memory. Should I just swap them out or should I change brands? OCZ is the only company that is tested on the MSI site, should I just grab some of those?

  • MSI 980-G65 Heat issue

    Hello everyone. I would like to discuss that little heat issue that MSI NF980-G65 seems to have.
    So long story short :
    my Rig : Phenom 1090t
    HAF X with all cooling slots full + extra fans mounted for extra airflow
    Venomous X
    ZOTAC 480 AMP! + PNY 480 in SLI
    Corsair TX850
    Problem : I got one of mosfets undet "140W" , blown up after 15 minutes of LinX test
    So, I've seen in HWmonitor and speedfan those nice 80-99C temps on some part of mobo, after googling I've found that that's the supposedly faulty sensor on this mobo. Well after the mosfet blew up I don't think it was all that faulty.
    Anyway, is there any way to mount some sort of additional fan/cooling on the "140W" heatsink? or should I just change the original thermal crap for MX3 or smthg ? Because I've had a really good airflow in my case, and that didn't seem to help a bit ( my CPU was ideling at 29, my vid. cards were showing 39)
    P.S. everything else worked fine: the sata, all 8 gigs on my ram, and sli worked like magic too.

    Hello
    this not your problem dear AKRIAN only.
    below is some links that discussed about that:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=139175.0
    http://www.overclock.net/amd-motherboards/730051-temp-issues-msi-nf980-g65.html
    I have searched a lot about that.This dangerous raise in temp come to NFORCE 200 chip that is at the middle of board( between two SLI boards) and I think it is not bad sensor problem .It is very hot .  seriously suggest have a lot of water near you for fire time with two GTX 480 and a NF980-G65.
    I couldn,t use two 9800gt in summer because of temp problem and i am very disappointed .
    First i loved this mobo for its ability but after that problem i lost many time to find problem , i send my graphic card for gauranty. I uninstalled heatsink and use a new adhesive. I used many programs for control temps and so on.
    After this long time this is my condition : I use onboard graphic .I have soled my graphic cards.i am waiting for a low temp graphic card. maybe GTX 460. i have installed a little fan on the heatsink( with MSI label)( this fan decreased temp about 10 c .now it is abot 70 c in idle use.)
    the competitive boards from other vendors with similar layout havent such a problem.
    Now i ask myself what is the wrong  with msi engineers? bad heatsink? bad place of chipset in the hottest point? bad voltage regulator?( some one said it is because bad voltage because it is not change many in load and idle use)? or nvidia false in making a chip with old technology?
    This chip is used in some products that need x16/x16 pci express lanes like BIG BANG TRINERGY and X58 TRINERGY.
    Now i suggest to every one that they buy MSI products if they have a cooler beside their case!
     

  • 890GXM-G65 keyboard issues

    Before I go over specs, I am having the EXACT same problem described in this thread.  The OP in that thread is correct in that the bios does NOT stop at the F1/F2 prompt after a CMOS clear -- it pauses for about 1 second then continues on its way.  Subsequent reboots simply end up on a failed boot page.
    My config: 890GXM-G65 main board with bios revision 1.8, AMD Phenom II X6 1090T cpu, 16G ram (posts), 675W power supply (Thermaltake).
    All peripherals are disconnected from the system.  I cannot get a PS/2 keyboard to work nor a USB keyboard in any port.  I have run into this in the past on certain servers with legacy keyboard support and one could get around the problem by plugging in BOTH a usb and ps/2 keyboard but that is not working in this case.
    A PS/2 keyboard will light all three (caps/num/scroll) on power on but keyboard does not work and once post is complete all three are off and non-toggleable.  A USB keyboard lights up num-lock on power up or hot-plug and it stays lit.  No input works from this keyboard either.  I have no OS installed and no bootable media connected so I continually end up at the no boot media screen which says to press a key.  On this screen I cannot press a key or ctl-alt-del with any results.
    Since the original thread I referenced above was never "completed" with a fix I'm hoping we can document it here (and I can have a working system)

    Well, that didn't take long to figure out, my next troubleshooting step got it.
    Apparently to have the keyboard active during post (to get into bios) you have to have ONE bootable device connected to the system.  I hooked up the DVD drive and the keyboard became functional.  Disconnecting the DVD returns the keyboard to the previously non-functional state on reboots/power ups.

    Hey guys, i picked up AMD Phenom x4 960T proccy - HD96ZTWFK4DGR ,ZOSMA core, was wondering if my board will support it. In the webpage of CPU support i see Phenom II X4    Zosma    HD840TWFK4DGR    840T is supported. Please do let me know.

    It may work if you try or you could wait for someone with the same CPU to post and let you know. Probably quicker to contact MSI to check with them as they should be able to tell you. >>How to contact MSI.<<

  • Msi 890GXM-G65 overclocking?

    BIOS 1.6,
    XP 32-bit
    AMD 1090T 3.2ghz
    msi GTX460 Twin Frozr II
    4gb DDR-1333
    I have a number of these machines, but I want to overclock the one on my desk for Folding At Home.
    The dip-switch overclocking does work, and is reported by the O/S and the BIOS correctly.  It has huge fans, CPU runs very cool (34°C max at sustained 100% load) at 3520mhz (+10%, 220 base clock) so I believe I can run it up more.  It has been stable at these settings running 100% 24/7 for two weeks straight.
    Problems:
    The msi Control Center application has no effect whatsoever on actual speed or voltage.  Validated through benchmarking.
    Within the BIOS, I cannot select base CPU clock or voltage to adjust them, they are grayed out.  I can adjust the multiplier, but it becomes unstable at all multipliers past 16x (stock).
    I want to increase voltage 10%, then try to get it stable at 20% base clock boost (3.8ghz)
    What path should I take to get control over the voltage and base clock?
    Thanks in advance.

    Quote from: Henry on 06-November-10, 06:11:53
    What have you done so far in attempts to increase voltage and bclk?
     Will or are you folding GPU also and if so what do you have the clock speed set to on it?
    Tried BIOS, msi Control Panel, AMD Overdrive.  Folding with msi GTX460 at 900mhz base, 1800mhz memory, 1.087v, very stable = ~14.5k PPD.
    I ended up doing a BIOS reset, then VOILA, I can change volts and base again.  Must be a bug in the BIOS.
    Turned up to 220 base, 18x multiply, 10% up on volts.  Running Kingston DDR3-1333 at 10% overclock stable.  3.96 ghz.
    Seems to all be working fine (famous last words), I'll let it churn and burn over the weekend.  Current SMP + GPU pairing is 27.5k PPD.  CPU temp is now 40°C, GPU is 40°C as well. 
    Turning on GPU makes the SMP take a big hit.  It goes from 3:30 TPF (6076) up to 4:20 with the GPU running in tandem.  Might think of turning off one core?

  • MSI Z68A G65 Ram issue !!!

    Hi Guys
    i am at a bit of a lost end here i have 4 X 8GB Corsair Vegence 1333 ram installed they are 2X4GB Ram units. Basically i noticed my machine was slower than usual so i checked it out and the first thing i checked was my Ram and it shows 16GB in the bios it also shows 16GB. i have taken all the ram out and put in 1 at a time into various slots but all ram units show them as 4gb. i have taken the ram and put it into another machine and it comes up as 8gb. i have reset the cmos and tried again but still nothing.
    has anyone got any idea what the problem might be or how i can fix this the board itself is less than a year old and so is the Rig.
    Thanks,
    Tourian

     You will need a fat32 formated usb stick.
    >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
    Downlaod and install the flash tool then download the bios listed below. (So long as that was the right mobo I linked too)
    http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z68A-GD65--G3-.html#/?div=BIOS
    The flash tool will prepare the usb stick to update the bios. Also, make sure you download the bios version 23.7 as the newest ones are not designed for your cpu.
    It is advisable to run memtest before flashing which is included with the tool
    It could be the memory controller or the mobo going bad as well. This is a good first step. Did you change the cooler or do anything inside the case before this happened?
