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!

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 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?

MSI GX 740 - Strange heat issue!

Hello!
I've had some heat issues with my MSI gx 740 for a while. It's constantly turning off when playing a game, and I can't turn on my computer for a while, or it will turn off during boot. What makes this strange is that when i was using SpeedFan to measure my temperatures it changed dramatically within a minute!!
Photo number one shows ATI control center and SpeedFan when running CS:S in the background (windowed)
Photo number two shows ATI and SpeedFan when running CS:S!
Notice the time! How is this possible?
I have also thought about apply cooling supply (thermal compund/heat sink?). How do I apply this? (Point out on the previous photo?)

MSI 790GX-G65 DIMMM / Board issues?

I have 2x4GB DDR3-1333 (PC3-10600) UDIMM kit of 2 CT51264BA1339.16FD based on the recommendations of the configurator on the Crucial site,,,
Installed it into MSI 790GX-G65 with AMD Phenom II X6 chip running Win7/64
Nothing else is installed on my MB except the graphics card, a Galaxy-210 Series NVIDIA GeForce 210 1GB DDR2
I have battled the BSOD for 3 long days with the system shutting down in 2-3 minutes and sometimes it would run up to 30 minutes,,,, I have updated all of the drivers and bios (version 4.2),,,,
This is the last Minidump before I pulled the single from the 2nd slot in the MB.
BugCheck 3B, {c0000005, fffff8000309dfd7, fffff88008ce12d0, 0}
Then I put one stick in and ran it for 2 hours, then put the other stick into DIMM 1 with 10% overclock and it is still running. If i put a stick in DIMM 2, i get teh BSOD
Can it be the DIMM or somethign lese?

Quote from: LLDJR on 14-October-10, 22:31:57
DUDE, I took the overclock on when you said tooo..
I put it back to Fail Safe mode in the BIOS and it still dumps.
So what is your suggestion,,,, no overclock? I am fine with that,, but can you clue me in on what the problem "might be" ?

MSI 790GX-G65 Hangs when loading windows

Specs:
Corsair 650W PSU (New)
MSI 790GX-G65
AMD Phenom II - Deneb 810 2.6 GHZ with XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 Heatsink(New)
GeForce 260gx(Not in board at the moment)
4x1gb SuperTalent 1333ghz DDR3
500GB Seagate (used to be an external)
64GB Crucial SSD (New, no OS)
I bought my computer in July 2009 and have had a reoccurring problem where, at any random point, my computer would completely lock up causing me to force shut down.
At first I thought it was a power supply so I replaced that and the problem persisted. Usually I would be on my computer, it would hang and I would restart it and everything would be fine for the rest of the day. Some days it wouldn't hang at all and run perfectly fine. I thought that maybe it was a heat issue so I've had my case open with a box fan sucking air out it. I just recently bought a new heat sink for my CPU to sure up any doubt.
Last weekend, I attempted to do some more troubleshooting and updated my BIOS, but my computer really didn't like it. Now it will not boot Windows after POST. I cleared CMOS and tried again but the same issue would occur. I would get into the Windows loading screen and the computer would lock up or it would make it to the login screen but would restart.
I considered the possibility that my HDD, being an old external, might have been the problem so I just recently purchased a new SSD. Last night I plugged in the SSD and in my attempt to load Windows on it, it would completely lock up the same exact way. I've narrowed it down to either being the SATA cables or the SATA connectors to the motherboard.
The two SATA cables that I am using are a bit old. One of them I found in my cable drawer and don't know how old it is or what the gb/s rating on it is. The other cable came stock with the MoBo and I've been using that one since the rig was built. I am going to buy some new SATA cables tonight and try again, but would it be that the motherboard SATA connectors are faulty or something? I was about to buy a new Motherboard but this one is POSTing fine and reading all of my hardware. What other issues could there be? Any help would be very much appreciated.

I was reading about how to install the >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<.
It's saying in step 3:
Quote
If your MSI Retail Board is properly detected and you have pressed the >OK< button in the message box, an option box will pop up that allows you to choose between three different operating modes.
I came across this FAQ:
Quote
->Q: Can I prepare USB stick in another mainboard?
A: * If you want to use method 3 it will not be possible, since Tool will detect different MSI board which uses a corresponding different BIOS.
* If your other mainboard is retail MSI, yes you can.
My current system is unusable which will mean that I'll have to install and create the USB flasher on a laptop that doesn't have a MSI MoBo. Will it still work?

MSI NF980-G65 not booting HELP!

Hi there,
First of all, here are my specs:
Phenom II 955
MSI NF980 - g65
4GB ddr3 Crucial Tracer
PNY GTX 285
Tuniq 1200W PSU
500GB WD HD
So lately my computer has been having some issues, Blue screening, Not booting past the MSI MB logo, taking ages to enter BIOS etc..
Now it wont boot at all, not even into Bios.
I dont know whats wrong and i dont have access to another MB or CPU.
Ive tried a different HD and also even taking the GPU out and running from the integrated VGA.
Ive run the system with each 2GB stick each with no difference and yes ive checked the Power connecters etc and a different PSU too.
Any ideas?
MB? CPU? i think its one of the two?
Any help would be much appreicated!

Lately means it started when? Did you do a BIOS flash or so?
What BSOD's where shown?
Have you tried different memory?
Have you checked standoffs?
a couple of days ago bassically, Was BSOD when playing games most of the time, cant remember the exact BSOD sorry.
Yup tried different memory and everything
after clearing Cmos again
its booting fine now, although only throught onboard VGA card
I tried my GTX on all three PCI slots and still nothing not too mention its heating up really hot really quick.
Tried a old GPU and it worked fine, also tried my GPU on another computer and it heated up again..
so its def the GPU
My Acer GD 2232's (or something) cord causes small sparks when running it against metal e.g my case.... most likely caused from my Screen shorting it out or something? screen is also only a year old only just noticed these sparks today when i got a shock from it haha

MSI NF980-G65 Memory amount installed. "Poll"

I'd like to start a poll here to find out how much Ram & what Brand & sticker # you used, example "F3-12800CL9-2GBRL' or whatever. I do have the QVL sheet, but not all Ram is on it & I'm just curious. Did you install 4 or 8GB or more on this Mobo? If you contribute your info here in this poll, It just may help other people who have this Mobo make a choice on what you think is the best ram for this Mobo for an Intel or AMD CPU.
Please don't tell me Gskill Ripjaws series Ram is not compatable with AMD CPU's. I have Gskill Ripjaw ram @ 1600Mhz installed & I'm using a Phenom X4 965 CPU,on the MSI NF980-G65 Mobo. The Gskill series Ram is not all specified for nothing but Intel CPU's. The Package for my Gskill Ram clearly states, "For use with AMD CPU's." So lets have poll here.
At first I installed 4GB of Gskill ripjaw Ram. only 2 sticks/ 2GB each. "F3-12800CL9D-2GBRL" They run Great @ 1600Mhz with a Bios ajustment. From what I've read on other Tech forums it's better to use only 2 memory slots then all 4 slots. Less stress on the CPU. Then I installed 8GB of Ram 2 sticks/ 4GB each. NICE! Tell me & those who find this poll what you used if you wish. Thank you
Edit: Edited name of topic to the correct full name of MB. It is not 980-G65, it is NF980-G65.

Nothing I see asks about what runs better or performance results. This thread is over 8 months old. So let's cut to the chase & just advise everyone to stick with RAM tested on the mainboard in question with whatever brand & number of GB, & in compliance with the platform's native supported specifications. If wanting to use RAM that is rated above supported platform specifications & expect it to work trouble free without any tweaking, it doesn't always work out so well. Post in the OC Section of the forum if trying to run 'anything' above native supported spec.
The thread IMO, was ill conceived from the start. Why perpetuate it any longer? Most people disregard the actual facts & buy whatever is the flashiest & had the best advertising & marketing scheme.
Do people still really think a pretty heat spreader is saving their RAM from total destruction? Too funny!

MSI NF980-G65 CPU heatsink selection

Hey guys, I'm ordering my new cpu tomorrow, Phenom II x4 965 BE, the new 125w revision. My motherboard is the MSI NF980-G65.
I need to figure out which of the top end heatsinks will fit without interfering with my ram.
G.Skill Trident.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231282&cm_re=gskill_trident-_-20-231-282-_-Product
Dual channel mode with 2 sticks utilizes the first two slots I think.
The ram measures 2 1/8" tall to the top of the heat spreader.
So far the cooler i'm most interested in is the Scythe Mugen 2 but the thing looks huge, from what I can tell folk with AMD boards have had success by mounting the fan so it's raised a bit, thus clearing the ram. I dont know if this would affect the cooling being that the fan's offset ?
I dont know how high the base of the fan sits by default, judging from the pictures it's not very high, so i'm guessing i'd have to offset it by at least 1".
I'd like to orient it to blow out through the back of the case as opposed to vertically into the psu.
The other option would be the Corsair H50, I have a modded side panel and I could mount the rad/fan to one of the 120mm holes. This option eliminates all the fitment issues, having said that i'm still not convinced the H50 is all it's cracked up to be, seems there are many mixed reviews.
I am open to other suggestions if you guys have any. With the right cooler, a couple of gin and tonic's and a lot of luck i'll be able to hit 4ghz, at least that's my goal
The case is a Cooler Master Praetorian with great air flow due to a couple of side, top and floor panel mods.
This is a brand new build and i'm hoping to have it all ready to go by the weekend so i'd like to get set on the right cooler by tomorrow, i'd hate to have to return it and delay the building !

I have the same board and am using a 945 95w version. I have the Thermalright 128-SE. It's a bit lower then others and just fits in my 4u rack case. I have a 120mm AC PWM fan on it which blows down. Right now i have min fan speed set down a notch or two and Hwmonitor is reporting fan at 75% and cpu cores at ~25c at idle. It keeps the cores at 40-45c under stress test. And yet even at full speed you can't hear the fan over drives and other sounds. A little bigger fan would easly hand a hotter cpu. Just be sure to order the am2/3 brackets.
Also the upper part of the heat sink is offset a bit to the side with the small pipes. hang that over the ram and it will help keep them cool, though my G.Skill 1600 ripjaws don't seem to need any help staying cool

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?
Motherboard: MSI 890GXM-G65

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

Z87-G65 power issue with usb(port reset failed)

All,
I'm having an issue with my motherboard and wanted to see if anyone had suggestions. In windows 8.1 if I have my webcam or external hard drive plugged in USB. I get this error the the USB device is not recognized and the port reset failed(code 43). I noticed when I turn on the PC and it's booting the light on the webcam and hard drive flash like it's not drawing enough power to stay on. The boot sticks at 9c on the screen and I have to reset. When windows boots they turn off. Since it's before windows boots I think this is either a MB issue or a power supply issue. I have a corsair 750 watt power supply so plenty of power. Any ideas?

I am plugging them into the USB 2.0 ports on the back of the motherboard, but it doesn't seem to matter where I plug them in I get the same errors.

Alright, now you see what I have. That is just about everything excluding things like my wireless mouse and keyboard.
So, I have been perfecting this build for awhile now, but I'm not the most experienced at overclocking. I've used about 5-6 motherboards during about a year trying to get my 3770k to overclock. Yes, I wasted quite a bit of money. I recently RMA'd my CPU because I thought it was defective since I failed to overclock. Now, I have a brand new one. Then, I switched my 2133 G.Skill Sniper memory for more basic Corsair memory. I thought possibly it could have been my memory that was causing issues since it was about the only non-new part left up until now. Now, this build is has all completely new parts. I don't think anything is defective. Lastly, my OS has recently been installed. About 2 days ago. All drivers /windows updates are up to date.
Alright, I gave my opinion on my hardware / OS and explained that. So, now I will try to explain my overclocking attempts. I first tried to overclock using the basic OC Genie II settings untouched. However, that didn't work out for me. I did get BSODs eventually or programs that crashed. Sometimes, games have crashed. I'm not doing anything overly important on this computer. I have a lot of other non-overclocked computers for various things like work ect. So, I am free to be able to play with this computer and try to get it OC'd properly. So, don't worry about that. I've read about 10-20 guides on overclocking and such, and for some reason I can't get things to be stable to the point that programs don't crash or fail. It seems with the Z77A-G65, there's no offset voltage tweaking option. If there is, I can't find it. I've read a lot that if you disable all power saving and use a fixed voltage that it can be more stable than using an offset voltage. Higher temps and more power usage I know.
So far, I've tried both, and neither have really worked for me. If I put vdroop offset control to 100% my temperatures increase but it can handle it. So, I tried setting the CPU to be fixed at 1.3 while at 4.5ghz. That was still not stable. Prime was ok, but some games and programs crashed. So, it wasn't stable for real world usage. Most of the time actually prime will be ok unless I try to put it at 4.8ghz with mostly default settings. So, after I tried 4.5ghz and 1.3 fixed voltage with no power saving options on, I tried bringing the voltage up to 1.350 which increased the temperature under load to about 85C. This wasn't stable either, so I went up a bit higher, well alot in overclocking standards. I went up to 1.4 just to see the temperatures and it got up to about 85C a occasionally higher. This was not stable either. So I tried turning off all C states and other power saving options and setting the vdroop offset control to 100% while also setting the voltage to auto. This wasn't stable. Usually when I set the voltage to auto , it will crash at anything above 4.7ghz and not boot. Anything below that it will boot, and even be capable of running prime or intel burn test, but it won't remain completely stable with all applications. Even basic programs like Firefox crashes sometimes. I do have one program that is pretty nice for benchmarking in the real world, and that's Amazon's cloud drive uploader. I ran it for a bit and it will eventually crash if I'm overclocking. I have tried some games like Diablo 3, Borderlands 2, ect and they have crashed as well on a clean windows 8 install.
I've also tried some of the turbo templates that only OC during turbo boost but idle at normal speeds/ 1.6ghz. This wasn't stable either. So, I'm at a loss, I've tried Turbo overclocking, Fixed voltage overclocking, offset voltage overclocking, power saving options on , and power saving options off. No luck. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

First off, Ivy CPU's under conventional cooling solutions are terrible OC'ers. 85C is too hot for everyday use under stress. Mid 70C's or better still, less is recommended. All significant power saving features are lost once the CPU V. is taken out of Auto. VDroop at 100% supplies the most voltage and decreases it as the percentage is lowered. Turbo OC is often the best over a CPU Ratio OC. From what I can read, the CPU you have is average and should run stable at 44X or maybe 45X on Auto CPU V., all power saving features intact.
32GB of RAM is great for rendering, graphics and audio/video creation, but if the goal is a gaming machine, 8GB to 16GB is more than enough.
Added: Recommended settings; SA 0.965-0.970v's, PLL 1.82-1.84v's, I/O 1.07v's.

MSI Z87-G65 adding PCIe cards, how will the GPU PCIe remain?

Hi,
I'm about to to buy a MSI Z87-G65, but currently having issues with Realtek 1150, while its really much better than past sound cards, i have issues with drivers, since MSI also run the same sound card, i want to run a HT | OMEGA eClaro 7.1 Channels 24-bit 192KHz PCI Express x1 Interface Sound Card and im also not too keen of the choice of MSI on the network card, i had issues on my GT70 on my lan and wifi, that has been worked out but i hate the Killer software/panel, this PC will also transfer a lot on gigabit so don't want to deal with poor performance, so im planning on a good trusty Intel EXPI9301CT Desktop Adapter Gigabit CT 10/ 100/ 1000Mbps PCI-Express 1 x RJ45.
I know when you run SLI on PCIe 16x, the first goes to 8x and the second to 8x, when 3sli is ran it goes 8x4x4, but im using the layout like the following, wondering what speed will the first 16x PCIe slot will run with the configuration below, 16x or 8x or 4x?

You can't run nVidia graphics at 8x 4X 4X. Tri-SLI is not possible. Crossfire is though. Download the pdf English manual at an MSI Website. It gives all the information of the lane assignments.
To answer the question, if other PCI-E 16X33 slots are used other than the primary for graphics, the primary will indeed drop to 8X.
