MSI A78M-E45 BIOS Request

Hello best and brightest minds of the MSI forum. I just bought the above board, and after buying and still using the MSI A85X-G65, the quality of MSI and the BIOS impressed me on the FM2 board. Now I know that the new board isn't top shelf, it is HS'ed and the tip top A78 that MSI offers. I OC my Athlon X4 750K, and the BIOS over volts the CPU. There is also no voltage adjustments that I can make what-so-ever, which is discouraging to say the least. I emailed MSI and got a generic response of we will pass this request off to our BIOS engineers. Is there any way to make a new bios, or crack and hack the one currently in place? Also, how long does it take to hear back if the BIOS team will pick up the project. I have heard that MSI is one of the best when it comes to requesting BIOS features.
Thanks!!!

Most FM2 boards - especially the value ones - won't support overvolting and are not intended to offers such beacuse of the power design not being meant for such tasks. Therefor MSi will most likely just tell you that it is not supported. For bios modding place a request in BETA & MOD BIOS Section but I've never heard of some for FM2 boards besides it will not help with the technical limitations.

MSI 785GTM-E45 BIOS CPU fan voltage control

Hello MSI gurus,
I've replaced the MB in an older HP media center with the MSI 785GTM-E45 running BIOS V8.8 out of the box.
CPU = Athlon 64 X2 4200+
My problem is the stock CPU fan has a 3 pin connection (voltage controlled) and is running at 100% speed all the time. From what I've read on the forums there are a number of people that have this issue (with other MBs with 4 pin cpu fan headers) and don't want to switch to a 4 pin CPU fan (PWM controlled). I am in the same situation.
I am hoping that there is a BIOS for this board that has an option to switch to or enable voltage control on the CPU fan header.
I have tried enabling the CPU smart fan target but no matter what settings I chose the fan remains at 100%. The H/W monitor of the MB indicates a CPU temperature (33C) well below the target (tried all options from 40C to 60C in 5C increments).
I have tried MSI's dual core center and it had no effect on the fan speed.
I have tried the 3rd party freeware SpeedFan and if had no effect on the fan speed.
I am not able to check if I have the latest BIOS or even find changelogs for existing BIOS verions because MSI seems to only direct BIOS downloads for this product to the Live update application. I have installed the live update program and it indicated V8.8 was the most recent veriosn of the BIOS for this board, although I have seen posts indicating the Live Update application is not to be trusted.
Dual core center, SpeedFan, and Live Update have all now been uninstalled.
I know the fan I'm using will change speed because I can connect a 3 pin fan controller and manually dial down the speed.
I know the BIOS can read the fan speed becase it correctly shows the RPM changes when I use the hardware fan controller.
Can anyone direct me to a BIOS version for this board (or some secret keystroke) that enables automated 3 pin voltage control on the CPU fan header?
Thanks in advance for your time.

For those who are interested I received the following answer from MSI technical support. Personally I find this to be a flaw in this board's design. I chose this MB to replace a dead MB in a HP media center for a friend. If I was buying this board for myself I likely would be using it as a HTPC because of the mATX form factor, HDMI on board, and backward compatibility for CPUs. However, due to the added cost of purchasing a new heat sink and fan I would be RMAing if I had bought it for myself. Considering many of the top performing after market coolers still come with a 3 pin fan it was a poor decision for MSI to not include support for automatic speed control of a 3 pin voltage controlled fan.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Thanks for contacting msi technical support team!
We are sorry that because of the circuit designs,we could not add cpu smart function for 3 pin's connector fan in the BIOS. The difference between 3pins and 4pins is that the second has a temperature controller but the first does not.We would suggest you utilize a 4-pin CPU Fan in order to control the CPU Fan speed.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused you!
Best regards,
MSI Technical Support Team

Does MSI H67MA-E45 BIOS compatible with SoundGraph iMON VFD?

Hi!
I would like to mount SoundGraph iMON VFD in my PC. It connects to MB by USB port. The problem is that BIOS bootup stops showing 92 at the right bottom of display as SoundGraph iMON VFD is connected. If disconnected, then connected later as the bootup procedure is completed all the items operate well.
MSI H67MA-E45 (B3) V1.9
What is the matter of it? Please enlighten me.

looks like you're doing something wrong.
have you pointed to archive file?

MSI 785GTM-E45 Bios Startup Random Freezes Help?

Hi all,
I hope I am posting this in the right forum, because it is a bios startup problem. I have been searching the forums from here and other places extensively for the past few days as well as trying pinpoint the problem on my own computer. My problem is every now and then when I boot up, it takes a really long time to get past or freezes at "initializing usb controllers" or it just freezes on "hypertransport flood sync." Some people say its the cpu, motherboard, ram, etc... So I have just been testing to see which component is causing the problem.
I recently purchased parts to build a new computer from frys. The parts are:
1. MSI 785GTM-E45
2. AMD Phenom II X2 555 BE
3. Patriot Extreme Performance 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model PDC24G6400ELK
4. Antec EarthWatts Green EA-430D Green 430W power supply
5. PNY Geforce 240 GT
6. 80 gb pata WD harddrive and NEC pata dvd-rw.
At first I thought it might've been that I was unlocking the cores and they were unstable, turns out the 4th core is unstable. However, I still get the weird freezes at initializing usb controllers and hypertransport flood sync even when I am running the stock 2 cores. Plus I purchased another AMD 555 to test it out, and its the same. Then I turned my attention to the ram, I ran memtest86+ on it and the ram appears to be good. And I don't think it is the power supply either, I can't really test it cuz I only have one. It can't be the video card because I was having this problem before I even installed the video card (I was using onboard waiting for something to go on sale). I am beginning to suspect that it's just a bad motherboard. I have even tried updating the bios to 8.5, I can now support X6, but it still doing the weird random freezes.
Was wondering if others had any ideas or suggestions. Thanks.

For your current system as is that PSU will be OK. If you think you will be upgrading video to something beyond a 250GTS & x4 CPU then I would recommend the TX650W instead. newegg usually has the best prices for the Corsairs and only online store I buy from in the past couple of years.
If you look at the specs at newegg you will see where it says how many rails it has. Also n'egg usually has picture of the PSU label and you can see there, it will show for example 2 rail: +12V1@18, +12V2@18, note the number after +12V. A single rail will have 1, for example the Corsair in your link +12V@30A

MSI E350IA-E45 BIOS V1.5 fails to install

I have a MSI E350IA-E45 motherboard, currently running V1.4 of the BIOS (which I had previously flashed from 1.3). I downloaded, unzipped and attempted to install the 1.5 BIOS last week, and it just hangs during the flash program using a bootable DOS USB drive. I tried 2 different USB flash drives, and I also tried using the M-flash method. No luck. It behaves as if the BIOS image is corrupted. I tried downloading it from a different country's MSI server, same symptom. Has anyone here successfully upgraded to this level BIOS? Thanks!

Henry, I tried the forum utility. It appeared to install ok on a USB stick, but would not boot. Upon inspection, the USB stick did not have a DOS kernel installed on it, so I gave up on that method.
I eventually got the BIOS updated via my own original bootable DOS USB stick, using the AFUDE234 program. For some reason, I had to turn off the HDMI-connected HDTV I use as a monitor, and plug in a standard monitor via VGA. I guess there is a video mode issue under DOS.

A78M-E45 BIOS

Hello fellow MSI-er's! I was wondering if there is any way to put CPU voltage control as an option for this board. The auto voltage doesn't work well, as it overvolts my Athlon X4 750K to 1.568v running an OC of 4.3GHz... I also have a A85X-G65 running in another computer and have tested the Athlon X4 750K in it, with an OC of 4.5GHz running 1.48v on the core. I don't expect much, but any help in gaining control of the CPU voltage would be great!
Thank you!!!

Most FM2 boards - especially the value ones - won't support overvolting and are not intended to offers such beacuse of the power design not being meant for such tasks. Therefor MSi will most likely just tell you that it is not supported.

MSI E350IA-E45 BIOS option missing !?

Hi,
Why in my BIOS (Advanced -> H/W Monitor) I dont't have the option 'CPU Min. Fan Speed (%)' !?
My Board came with BIOS ver. 1.4 and now has ver. 1.5
Has MSI removed this option ?
Regards.

Case fans? With that tiny board that doesn't know how to get hot
The powersupply fan alone should be enough.
But if you must use a casefan, typical they are powered with 12V (yellow + black), if you power them with 5V (red + black) they spin very silent.
It only takes 1 pin to move on the molex.
I'm talking about a harddisk connector, not the mobo-fan-header.

MSI GE620 Custom BIOS request

HI,
I wanna use GE620 laptop for music recording and thus I need to get the lowest DPC latency possible. The original latest BIOS 10F offers very poor options to change anything.
I would like to have just as "editable" BIOS as we get on desktops - disable/enable on board Intel HD Graphics, RAM, CPU management.
What do you think? Is it worth having custom BIOS in order to get the lowest DPC lat. available?
Is there any other way to disable Intel HD graphic and have only Nvidia Geforce GT540M running?
thanks
Marek

Quote from: chewie on 11-April-12, 23:18:19
Not to necropost, but Svet, if you are still around, you mentioned that disabling the onboard intel video would cause the system to not boot.
Could this then point to issues with the onboard intel video chipset in regards to the GE620 not displaying anything at power on at times?
Nope, just the signal is passed to dedicated one, in 99%[maybe in 100%] in notebooks.
I.e. dedicated must works OK, to be able to see anything

A78M-E45 USB 3.0

I just installed A78M-E45 motherboard and everything works fine after loading all drivers, with the exception of the USB 3.0 ports. The 2.0 ports work fine, but I get absolutely nothing from the 3.0 ports. Any ideas?

My apologies:
Board: MSI a78m-e45
Bios: 25.3
PSU: Corsair CX430
CPU: a10-7850k
MEM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB 1600mhz
HDD: PNY 240GB SSD
COOLER: stock
OS: Windows 7 64bit Professional
no other hardware
All bios settings are at their defaults. Memory has been tested with memtest on another machine. I have ran Prime95 on it overnight and the system shows no other signs of instability, just the missing usb driver.

A78M-E45 will display BIOS, will not boot operating system.

A78M-E45 motherboard serial number 601-7721-200B1401225311
Inlandpro ILG-500R2 PS
AMD A6-640K black ed CPU
ADATA 4GB DDR3 1600 DIMM
ST3120813AS ATA HDD (OUT OF MY CURRENT PC) with Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit OS
Will boot BIOS no problem. When you exit BIOS Windows starts to boot, then goes to a screen that reads. repair windows or boot normally. There is also a message at the top that says there could have been a change in software or hardware.

Judging from what I'm reading in your post you have installed a HDD from another PC with Windows already installed on it. It's not going to boot if that's true and you will need to do a fresh install of Windows on it or at the very least try a repair install.
