MSI GD80 Z68 motherboard temperatures

Hello,
my system has been running for about 9-10 months now. Everything has worked great so I did not really concern myself with the temperatures too much at first. I'm pretty sure the temps back then where somewhat similar to what they are now. When I recently cleaned out the dust in the system, etc. The temps were reporting about 50 degrees Celsius in the bios and around 44 degrees Celsius in Coretemp in IDLE.
Anyway, I recently built a new system with an asrock MB and noticed that it was reporting in the bios that the CPU temp was around 33 degrees Celsius, the cpus on both systems are an Core I5-2500k running at a modest 4.2ghz with the stock cooler that comes with the CPU.
I'm somewhat sure my system is OK and this may be normal but I still have this nagging feeling that if I could get lower temps I should, or at least get confirmation this is something with the MSI boards and the way they report temps which isn't an accurate representation or 50 degrees idle in click bios II = 33 degrees idle.
Has anyone experienced similar or can advise? I'd be happy if it's OK regardless, but you know how it is once you get that itch regarding your PC, you either fix something or you break it but you can't really leave well enough alone.
Thanks in advance.

While that temperature isn't going to hurt anything, you can try a few things to see if you can get it down.
What temps do you get under load?
What happens if you take the door off the case. (Don't worry too much about the temp in uefi/bios as many options are not enganged until the os loads)
Try replacing the Thermal Paste, make sure to remove the old with an alcohol wipe.
Since you are doing an overclock albeit a small one, you may want to invest in an aftermarket cpu cooler.
Under load it's reporting up to 60c-64c if I recall correctly
Taking the door off doesn't make much difference
the paste is stock and I don't want to reapply and do all that since it's working great and has not had any issues so far.
I just want to ensure that the 50c at idle is somewhat a normal reading for this board or what?
In the old days temps like these would be a catastrophe so my mindset is kind of defering to that, but if it's OK I'll let it go. I wouldn't even bother if the same cpu + cooler didn't report 33c on a different motherboard in the same room 5 feet apart albeit that other one was closer to the window AC unit but in a much crappier case as far as airflow is concerned.

MSI P67A-C45(b3) temperature

Hi, I have MoBo Msi p67a-C45 rev B3
CASE: Aerocool VS-9
CPU: I5 2500
And my temperature is too high. TMPIN1 in HWMonitor in idle is 48-55 celcius. What Can i do ? In stress (Crysis 2) temperature was more than 100!!
Help
Sorry for my language im no from england :p

MSI tech Support conformed again that it is a dummy temperature:
"Regarding your concern, would you please take a picture for the temp which you checked. TMPIN1 is dummy temp. Please don't worry about it. Please make sure TMPIN0 and TMPIN2 are normal. TMPIN0 is CPU temperature, TMPIN2 is motherboard temperature. Thanks!"
"Please don't worry about that, we have checked BIOS code and circuit, we don't find the TMPIN1. It is dummy temp."
So MSi tech says, it is not an actual temperature! What do you guys think about that?
The engineers looked in to it & gave a response as to their findings. Unless it can be proven otherwise, there is no choice other than to take them at their word. Unfortunately, I don't have a series C mainboard to do my own testing on, but I can tell you the Z68 in use at the moment, TMPIN1 reads -20C. We all know that is a bogus reading.
It may even be prudent to contact the 3rd party utility developers & ask them about it as well. At this point, it looks like the only way to confirm what the actual temp of the PCH is, & it is still a concern, would be to take the rig to a PC shop that has an IR thermal test tool & have it checked, or purchase one & test it for yourself.

Msi K9ND Speedster -- Motherboard Problems

I need some help with a MSI K9ND Speedster motherboard which i purchased on ebay, apparently new.
Im using
Opteron Socket F (1207) 2218 95W 2.6GHz -- OSA2218GAA6CQ
512MB P/N - NT512T72U89A0BV-3C x4 -- 1GB per cpu.
Old PCI Graphics Card.
Floppy Drive
Enermax 600W & 430W
Im running 2 Enermax PSU's, 1 600w, other 430w with them both supplying power to the ATX12V 8-Pin socket, they also supply power to my Geforce 8800GTS XXX graphic cards, when i get the system running.... It could be my psu setup is causing me problems, but the motherboard is giving me strange behaviour, and its hard to say, plus i don't have a drop in PSU replacement.
The second cpu in cpu1, does not seem to be registering.... but is reported in the temperature screen at around 33C, while Cpu in Cpu0 is detected, but is said to be running at around 75C "i checked the cooler multiple times"... Ive got 4 sticks of ram in the computer, but only one stick is being detected.... though its hard to say with the limited bios features... The cpu0 is reported to be running at 1.3v, while cpu1 is running at 1.13v...
I need some help from some other K9ND speedster system owners, as ive been trouble shooting & researching all day, and ive not been able to find much in helpful information...
I tryed updating my bios to 1.3, but it tells me something about "not enough DMI OEM line space" and makes me reboot...
My brain hurts

Okay... The Enermax Galaxy 1000W arrived this afternoon, and i installed it and all the other other hardware over the last few hours...
The K9ND is not posting with the memory installed in Dimm sockets net to CPU1 ? and since i last posted i bought an 8mb or 8MB chip with v2.10 flashed on it, and ive installed it in the motherboard, thankfully with no problems, but no change so far.
System Don't seem to be shorting with the case, as i wouldn't be able to turn it on...
System is booting without the ram in Dimms1, and im now writing on the forum using the machine...
My sli graphics cards are giving me a code 12, something about there not being enough resources, hopefully i can fix that problem...
I checked with cpu-z, to see what my cpu information is, and both would seem to be the same, though its reporting my memory is working in single channel more, and not double channel like it should with ram in dimm0 sockets 3&4.
I got a headake, need some more help & suggestions please.

MSI 7788 (MSI H61M-P31) motherboard, intending to use 1.6V memory modules

Hello,
I am intending to purchase a dual channel kit of geil black dragon memory modules. The modules are working at 1.6V. As far as I remember, the moobo specs says that it supports 1.5V dual channel memory modules.
In BIOS, there is the option to change the memory voltage, but it gives me 1.65V.
Should I proceed and purchase the memory modules or I should go for standard 1.5V ?

I have dismounted the CPU cooler asembly after a continous burn in procedure and I achieved 120 celsius degree. I checked all the mosfets and the coils, all of them were cold. Speedfan didn't show that sensor reading.
I have installed though AIDA64 and it seems to find that reading as "AUX".

MSI 970 Gaming motherbaord temperature parameters

So here is the deal I've been using MSI 970 Gaming motherboard for a couple months everything is OK except it's very annoying to measure temperature for AMD cpu and processor. I'm using four different programs to determine the approx value for temperature.
1. HwInfo
2. CPUID HWmonitor
3. MSI Command center
4. Core Temp
Certainly reading from Hwinfo and CPUID HWmonitor is matching with MSI command center reading , so I assume that it's CPU and Motherbaord temperature , but what is the TMPIN1 in CPUID HWmonitor or CPU (green boxed) in HWinfo. I know that different board has different sensors for that purpose. So anyone can help with that confusion?

Quote from: Chike on 01-March-15, 12:49:26
3rd party software is generic and has no knowledge about which sensors are actually connected and which are not.
There is no point worrying about it. With HWiNFO it is easy to hide irrelevant sensors.
What is more disturbing is the fact that "CPU0/Package" temperature is much lower than "CPU", obviously that is not possible, or shouldn't be as the core is where the heat comes from. CPU may be 1c above due to sensors accuracy but not 30c off.
This seems to a bug/error in both HWiNFO and Core Temp (I don't see thos sensors in HWMonitor). You can direct this issue to the developers.
I know it's a common issue with AMD for lower temp reading but what is the general idea about that green boxed reading? is it socket or northbridge? Certainly two of them are matching with MSI command center reading so i guess MOTHERBOARD is MOTHERBOARD and CPU is CPU but there is a confusion with that middle value.

PCI-E 2.1 X16 Graphics card on MSI K9A2VM-FD motherboard

Hi,
I recently bought an AMD Radeon 6870 graphics card to upgrade my aging machine. The card is a PCI-E 2.1 X16 card and unfortunately does not work with my current motherboard.
I was recently looking at the MSI K9A2VM-FD motherboard as a possible replacement that would work with my new graphics card. In the specs the board is said to have 1 PCI-E 2.0 X16 slot. I just wanted to check if this board will work with the card or not?
Any help on this front would be much appreciated. I am a uni student with limited funds from a part time job and, as a result, I can't afford to spend money just to find it doesn't work again.
Thanks in advance for your help

Thanks for your reply Whilst I acknowledge I don't have that much time for gaming, once in a while isn't going to hurt and I do need to relax sometimes
I've already bought the HD6870, so choice of card isn't the issue. I have a 700w PSU which I have tested using a friend's old board with the new HD6870 card and it worked fine, so I definitely know that the PSU is fine and that the card works. I have a foxconn A7VMX-K at the moment and updated to the latest bios to see if that sorted the issue. However this didn't work.
I am now in the market for a new board and was looking at the MSI K9A2VM-FD board. It says it has a PCI-E 2.0 X16 slot on the specs of the seller's site and on most other sites. On some it just says that it is version 2.0 compliant, which is a bit confusing. I just wondered if anyone could tell me whether the HD6870 (PCI-E 2.1 X16) would work on this board (PCI-E 2.0 X16)? Many thanks

I have a MSI K9A2 Platinum Motherboard. Bios version 1.8 overclocking

I have a MSI K9A2 Platinum Motherboard. Bios version 1.8
AMD Phenom II X4 940 3.0 GHZ that I have over clocked to (17.5) 3.4Ghz
However anytime I go over that to say multiplyer set to 18 (3.5 ghz) it still runs but crashes when running high end games. I know I have to go in an adjust voltages. However, in the cell menu I can't access the CPU voltage areas I hit enter but nothing happens. It tells me Grey is defualt, White is stable and red is the obvious not recommended setting, but again I can't access it. Is there something I need to disable before I mess with the voltages?
I know that doing any of this could fry the chip I have liquid cooling pretty much this idles at 28 deg Celcuis, that is with it over clocked so I know I have som room and know I should only up the vltage slightly. I just need to know how to do it.
I also wanted to adjust the FSB from the current 200 to 270 which I was told is possible with this board and also that is where it should run stable. Again I just need to know how to access these things in the Bios. If its a bios issue I can update to the next one,1.9, but did not see the need to do so. Anyways any help is greatly appreciated. I am familar with overclocking just not with this motherboard. Any user who uses MSI who could offer assitance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

MSI A58M-E35 Motherboard, Theres NO Vista drivers!!

Just bought a MSI A58M-E35 motherboard and Theres NO Vista drivers!!
Win7 drivers dont work, gonna have to exchange for one of your competitors, that makes me very unhappy...
Did msi forget that vista existed?

You are reading it wrong.
We have consumer products, i.e. the versions that consumers buy and which is supported under the Mainstream support.
Then there are Business and Developer products will and they will receive at least 10 years of online self-help support.
Your license will determine which category you fall in.
Quote
Extended Support is not offered for Consumer and Multimedia products.
We have just been through the XP fiasco. Its still supported for the industry, but consumers get no more updates.
Mainstream support ends Jan2015. That's the one that consumers are entitled to.
Maybe so, but I can't see how... Here's another link to the same chart:
http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/default.aspx?LN=en-us&x=8&y=13
Note the heading for the chart:
Phases of the Support Lifecycle for Business, Developer, Consumer and Multimedia Software
To me, that says that the consumer versions of Win7 go to extended support in 2015, in which the only updates people will receive for it until EoL in 2020 are security updates. Exactly the same thing was done with XP, IIRC. The only updates WinXP received for the past several years were security updates and regular updates for the XP version of MSE. Why should Microsoft treat Win7 any different? As you see in the chart, paid-for support is in a different category from security updates. You can get the same paid-for support in Windows 7 in the extended period that you can buy right now for Win7 in the mainstream period. The only service carried forward into the extended period that will continue to be free of charge are the security updates as hotfixes, patches, and feature updates for Win7 will be discontinued when Win7 support shifts into extended support next year.

MSI-PRO-E Motherboard and OCZ3G1600LV6GK

I have been doing some research and am deeply confused. I am going to be buying a MSI Pro-E motherboard and am planning on buying OCZ Gold Ram (3 x 2GB). I was looking at the timings and am getting confused. Some people are saying you have to mess with the BIOS to get the timing to 8-8-8-24, and others are saying that you don't have to do anything. So I am wondering if you actually have to do anything in order to obtain the timing of 8-8-8-24? Also Can the motherboard run RAM at 1600Mhz without overclocking or would I have to overclock the RAM in order to get that speed?
Here are the links to the RAM and the Motherboard:

Thanks for the reply. Sorry I forgot to mention that I am going to be using a I7 920 processor. Also I found a picture of the bios settings someone had and they were doing the second method you mentioned. I don't think it has more than 1 XMP profile, and if it does I'm probably not going to change it because I will be using the second method. So just to double check to make sure I'm not messing this up, I want to set it to 2N not 1N right? (Just checking cause I read somewhere that you usually leave it on 1N.)
Typically you will want to use 1N but some RAM won't be able to do it properly...
Something else you may want to consider: If you use 1333 mode instead of 1600 you won't have to increase voltage and often can use much better RAM timings. I've some 7-7-7-20 Corsair RAM in here but when I found out that in 1333 mode it runs with 4-6-6-15 without the requirement to increase the voltage, I was very happy to leave it at that. There are also other timings which can nicely be set manually - my tRFC is 49 instead of 88 now!
Something which may speak against using XMS info: My corsair RAM is a triple kit, but somehow one module has one value set differently than the others in there...thus I'm using manual setup now (tRFC was set much too high anyway, it wasn't even using XMS info).

Missing BIOS 26.4 file for MSI H97M ECO motherboard

The BIOS 26.4 file seems to be missing from the download page for the MSI H97M ECO motherboard - I get an error when clicking on the link in the UK download site.
I have installed the 26.3 file instead and I am getting very strange fan rpm on the ECO Center Pro tool - sometimes is shows around 700-800 rpm which is probably correct but it also shows much higher numbers such as 24,000 or 50,000 rpm!

The bios has been removed that's why. Global just shows 26.3 being latest: http://www.msi.com/support/mb/H97M-ECO.html#down-bios
Wait for MSI to fix it and re-release it. Usually versions are removed for a good reason (e.g. a bug).

PC won't boot. MSI Gaming 7 motherboard had a debug code of 67.

I ran Malwarebytes this morning, it found some stuff, I had it remove them and rebooted. Haven't been able to get my PC to boot since :(
When I begin booting, nothing happens at all on the monitors, the PC itself has power and it looks like it's on but I only get this error code 67 on the motherboard and that's it.
Really don't want to unseat the CPU for any reason to troubleshoot that. CPU is always a pain in the ass for me to remove and place back into a PC. lol.

try >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed
Tried that, didn't work.
Unseated each RAM stick, didn't work.
Removed the CPU, cleaned off the thermal grease, reseated it, replaced grease and heatsink. Didn't work.
Literally unplugged and replugged everything in one by one and none of it fixed the problem. Still receive error code 67.
Have no damn idea what the heck is going on.

Enabling analog output sound on MSI 970A-G46 motherboard

Please tell me how to enable analogue output on my MSI 970A-G46 motherboard (via Realtek integrated audio card). I installed the drivers, but I only have Realtek Digital Output and Realtek Digital Output (Optical) available. The analogue output (Realtek High Definition Audio) returns "Not plugged in" error. How can I enable this output ? What exactly shall I plug in ? Everything is plugged in. I think it may have something to do with the JAUD1 connector, but I'm not sure. On old AC'97, it used to be 2 jumpers that needed to short some pins, but I don't know if this is the case with the new Realtek HD anymore (who has a different connector). Thanks.

Try the appropriate drivers from this page:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
I would first uninstall your present Realtek sound drivers, then reinstall the driver from the above page link. You have to check the box that says "I accept to the above" (yes, poor English...), then hit the "Next" button and the driver page loads.
They work fine.

What is the normal operation motherboard temperature

HP Pavilion t6250p Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit no changes to OS
Motherboard is Pegatron Benicia (CPU 1)
Temperature runs 43-44 C or 110-112 F Is this normal?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

That is a normal motherboard temperature.
If you happened to live in Death Valley, CA and had no airconditioning it would be a quite bit higher.

Idle motherboard temperature for oc system

Hi,
I have successfully oc my system but I notice that when the cpu is idle the temp is 38C but the board temperature is 62C. I am using Diamond plus, see my sig for details. I have check the temperature on the bios and as well as feel manual on the north bridge. It is hot, I can barely feel for few seconds. The motherboard fan on the heatpipe already running at 5800+rpm This only happen after I apply artic silver on the cpu. before that the motherboard temprerature was around 45~48C idle. I am guess applying cpu thermal compound shouldn't affect the motherboard temperature. I am using stock heatsink and I have two 120mm rear fan(exhaust) and one 120mm front fan(intake). Any knows what is happening?

@ mrxxxx

same thermal heat pad compound problem, others will see it so march is irrelevant huh.
The OP is talking about NB temp after he changed the CPU TIM!

Perhaps you moved the Heatpipe chipset cooler while installing the CPU & Heatsink. And now the surface that cools the chipset does not have full contact with it. You should check the surface and if the contact to chipset is plain.
Didn't you read this reply from MurdoK?

Works: MSI Z77MA-G45 Motherboard

Just dropping a note to say that the MSI Z77MA-G45 motherboard with UEFI works perfectly under Arch. Initial installation was a little bit painful because I was installing from a USB drive that was not booted in UEFI mode. By following this guide and the installation guide, I managed to install refind, which got me into Arch, then I just repeated the GRUB2 installation steps to complete my install.
Systemd is a little weird and will definitely take some time to get used to, but I really like the new 100% manual installation method, along with the improved Arch bootstrapping and chroot'ing scripts. Very happy to see that this is still the same (but better!) distro that I used 6 years ago.

Using it along an AMD card is quite useless and therefor results maybe wrong. Try the 210 alone in the other slot. Also please list system specs: >>Posting Guide<<
