MSI H55-GD65 X.M.P. support

Hi
I am currently running a core i3 on a MSI H55-GD65 with noname 4GB RAM @ 1333 Mhz in a dual channel configuration.I am planning to buy 2 x 4GB Vengeance LP CML8GX3M2A1600C9 1.5V @1600 Mhz.
My questions are:
1:Is my board X.M.P. compatible.
2:If the sticks be running at 1333 MHz.What will I have to do to make it run at 1600 Mhz.
my Sluggish memory benchmark :(
Thanks

If the X.M.P. setting doesn't show in your BIOS Cell Menu, the current RAM installed may not have X.M.P. profiles? The new Corsair's probably do have that profile, which in that case the setting will probably show in Cell Menu. For initial startup with the new RAM, only place one stick in the primary dimm slot. If all is well, add the second stick. The SPD Tab of CPUID's CPU-Z utility will show if there are X.M.P. profiles, and will show the timings to set if it is done manually.

OCZ Intel extreme on H55-GD65

Hi, I have bought an MSI H55-GD65 motherboard, and with that the following sticks of RAM :
OCZ Intel Extreme Edition XMP 4 Go (kit 2x 2 Go) DDR3-SDRAM PC3-10600 - OCZ3X1333LV4GK
I would like to have your opinion on this choice. For instance, I would like to know if some manual configuration in the BIOS will be necessary.
Thanks for reading.

I also have the choice to buy a G.Skill ECO series (1.35V), since it is meant for an office computer which should be cool, low consuming and silent.
However it has to be more stable than lightning quick, of course because it is office work, and no freeze should happen during works on important documents.

H55-gd65 w/ 5870

i have msi h55-gd65 w/ core i5 750 and 5870's
but my proc cant reach 3.2ghz in intel turbo boost is enable.
is there a bottle or any settings can help?
my bios on default settings
thanks

Since you said your bios is on default, I guess you did not overclock.
With turbo boost, the i5 750 can only reach 3.2 ghz (24*133) if only one core is under load.
I however remember having this problem also with only one core loaded, I believe it went away after a bios update, but I didn't really test it, as I prefer
having turbo boost off.

Does MSI P55-GD65 support eSata hot-plug?

I believe the title is self-explanatory, but I'll explain anyway..
I have a MSI P55-GD65 motherboard which has an onboard eSata port. I have a second eSata port in the front plate of my case.. The thing is, that the only way for it to recognize my eSata external hard drive, is if the drive is connected and powered BEFORE I boot my PC. Not very convenient when it comes to portable devices. Is there anything I have to change in the BIOS or any drivers I should install (for Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit) so that I can power on and off my drive while my PC is working?

Actually, I did some more digging after my post, I figured out how to do it (I tweaked the registry because I had installed Windows 7 with sata mode set to IDE), and now it works fine..
There's only one issue. My external drive does not appear in the devices I can "safely remove". So I don't know how risky it is to just turn of my HDD while the PC is powered on..

H55-gd65 support Xeon 1156?

I see that there are xeon processors in the LGA 1156 socket. Is this compatible with the h55-gd65 board? Thought I'd ask...

I stared at it for a second before it registered, "That's a fricken USB 3.0", I blurted.
That is an eSATA-Port...
My ancient P45 Platinum has it, too:
The even more ancient P35 Platinum even had two of those:
Now take another look at the back panel of your H55-GD65:
You can see the difference in this picture:
The two blue ports on the right are USB 3.0 ports. The single blue port on the left is an eSATA-Port.
If you still think that you have an USB 3.0 port, then try to plug an USB device into it. You will need a big hammer to make it fit.

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!

Overclocking my i7-860 with an "old" H55-GD65

Well, it was new to me but I understand by todays standards it is "Old"... forgive me for my budget constrainsts at the moment, but atleast I did buy an MSI, right?
OK, that being said, I would like to be a little more educated on the overclocking functions and, in some cases, how to be able to adjust them as some I can not seem to get off of auto mode...
I'm new to this (if you couldn't already tell by my other stupid posts) so be patient with me please. I pick stuff up quickly. As a matter of fact as of a month ago I could't have told you what an i7 was... Now I have built my own system and I really want to learn what everything is, what it does and how it relates to everything a little more indepthly. I have read many articles on several forums reffered by this site, so I am somewhat up to speed on many of the settings.
So far I have done three OC attempts and saved their settings. All successfull in their own way. I managed to go from the OC Genie base setting of 3.59Ghz to 3.99Ghz. Ram settings on the OC genie was 1575Mhz and my OC's were 1525Mhz. Values for voltage on my OC's are all on auto, as I can not seem to find a way of manualy adjusting the voltage outside of OC genie settings so there must be something I am not doing right. As for CPU voltage the OC genie was1.31min/1.36max. Mine were 1.36min/1.42max (which it pretty much stayes right there. This is where I think I am consuming more power especially at a higher clock. I really need to get into the voltages for the CPU and RAM (the RAM especialy).
In 3Dmark11 my last OC produced much better physics scores 8500s vs 8100s so I am confident it is working well in that regard, but who knows, maybe it should be better givin the increase in frequency. I have also run BBC2 for over 6hrs on my 3.8Ghz tune and my CPU temps never got over 60C. With OCgenie activated, my temps are in the 55C range.
I am using CPUID monitor to read temps and voltages. In this I have noticed that the OC genie power package is pulling 65W, my packages were at 95W. So given the data of the performance and the heat build up at idle and max temps, I have to concede the OCgenie setting to be more efficient. I would like to know exactly why that is. I see a different multiplyer being used, but when I am in one of my clocks, I can not adjust this either, I can only adjust frequency. Why is that?
Here are the specs on my system;
CoolerMaster HAF 922; 3x2CM, 1x1.2CM
i7-860
H55-GD65
2x4Gb G.Skill CL7 10666 ocupying 1,3
Sapphire Dirt 3 HD 6950 2Gb
Win 7 U
WD 1Tb Caviar Black 64Mb SataIII
Antec H20 620 w/ UltaKAze 3000
HCG-900 PSU
If any more info is needed, let me know. I will be all to happy to provide it the best I can.

Found it! -/+ buttons... Sry for the Noob post.... it was in the manual... Sry.
So now that that is out of the way...
I have noticed the recomendations on this sight varying from recomendations on other sites pertaining to what CPU functions should be Enabled/Disabled.
On this Forum I see most suggest O-clocking with T-boost and other CPU state controls active. Other sites say turn them off and run the CPU throttled. I personaly like the idea of a more energy efficient combo, providing it works comparitively. I am also begining base testing again with Prime95 so I know I am starting with a completely stable platform.
I also read that there is a limit of the onboard chipsets. Being this is an H55, can I ask what is the max throughput (I believe is the propoper term) for this chipset? On the Specs page it lists max QPI up to 6.4GT/s. Could someone explain what this number is representative of and what it means in relation to maximum attainable CPU frequency? Thanks.

MSI X79-GD65(8D) gives a posting error 63 Late CPU Initialize

Hey Guys.
I have recently purchased new hardware.
MSI X79-GD65(8D) Motherboard
Intel i7 3820 CPU
4 X Corsair Vengeance 4GB DDR3-1600 RAM
MSI GTX660Ti Power edition GPU
Corsair 750W Professional series PSU
Corsair H80 CPU Cooler
I haven't overclocked ht e mobo, but on cold boot, the mobo doesn't initialize, gives a post error 63, refered to the mobo manual, it says it means late CPU initialize. Checked the BIOS, running version 1.7 and according to MSI download site for the CPU support list.
The memory is in quad channel as it shows in a diagram in the mobo manual. If I switch the pc off, and back on, it initializes and boots, the pc runs stable, it can run 48 hours no hassle, passes burn in tests to, just the first cold boot doesn't initialize.
Any ideas for what to look at would be great.
Thank you.

A little hint for you: Don't try any of the .1B betas as they run horrible. I had to remove the latest .1B3 as it bricked the board and had to be recovered.
1.18 B7 is still the best bios to use:
Quote from: flobelix on 17-November-12, 00:49:07
I'd suggest the later Bios 1.18 B7 which I'm also using with the i7-3820 (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=154186.msg1192427#msg1192427)

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.
Paul

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.
Quote
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.

Msi 890fxa-gd65 USB and video dying after extended use

Multiple times this has happened to me. I will be playing a game for a while (2+ hours) and all the sudden my mouse, keyboard, and monitor will all black out and shut off. My computer is still running and the buttons on the front of the case to shut the computer off no longer work either.
I know it's not a heat issue because i touched the heat sinks on the mobo and they are not hot at all.
I have taken the board and exchanged it at frys; this is the 2nd board so i'm pretty sure its nothing wrong with the board.
Help me please!

Why then does MSi mainboard default to this speed?
Steve64, do yourself a favour and search for RAM SPD profiles on the net. Memory module manufacturers write the SPD information to the EEPROM on the module. Motherboard BIOSes read the SPD information to configure the memory controller. If that SPD profile is not in line with the native RAM speed supported by the CPU, then the board's BIOS will be set to the incorrect memory speed as can be seen in this post. Its an industry design standard (JEDEC) and the memory manufacturer is the cause of the incorrect setting when the user buys an incompatible set of memory.
The rest of your post has been removed as it adds no value to finding a solution.

MSI P67 GD65 and 1600mhz RAM

Picked up a MSI P67a-GD65 to replace my faulty (and by faulty, not SATA port faulty)Gigabyte UD3P. Anyways. I had a stable overclock of 4.7ghz on that board so I assumed w/ close voltages Id hit that on this board. Ive spent the last 2 days trying to get it stable to no avail. Dropped the speed to 4.5ghz even w/ same voltages and nothing.
Finally I dropped my RAM speed from 1600mhz c8 to 1333 c9. System is stable at 4.7 no problem now. The ram has been used for awhile without any issues on 2 other boards (P55a-UD3 and P67a-UD3P) and memtest checks out. Is there a problem w/ the 1600mhz strap on this board? Ive read other people have issues with certain RAM speeds as well (although it varys). Specs below!

Screw you ELvis This is doz from OCF, was hoping to find someone from MSI chime in on the problem! Getting frustrated. I have some new GSkill 1600mhz c8 2x4gb on the way as my wife eats up the RAM editing pictures in photoshop and bridge at the same time. Maybe its the RAM, but it hasnt given me an ounce of problems yet! Maybe Ill try some 2000mhz C9 that I have laying around at 1866mhz and see if it likes that.
Any more of that and you will have problems you didn't expect.

MSI P67A-GD65 keeps turing on and off...

I have had the follwing build since about march this year.
8GB Mushkin Silverline #996770 (2x4GB) DDR3 1333MHz 9-9-9-24
MSI P67A-GD65 Intel P67 (REV B3) Socket 1155 DDR3 PCI-Express Motherboard
Intel Core i7-2600 3.40GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail
XFX ATI Radeon HD5750
It was all working reasonably fine but I had notice it getting abit noisier so thought it was time for a bit of a clean to remove dust from fans, heatsinks etc. which it drastcially needed.
Anyhow, put it back together and now it turns on and off on start up at a period of about 5 seconds. (It has done this about 11 time before I unplugged it) Checked connections but everything SEEMS fine there. Unsure what it could be and could do to get it back up ASAP.
All was working fine prior and upto cleaning (which was today).
Also I currently have no computers to test bits on but I have done a Bare bones test with no look.
I am secrectly hoping one of can tell me its the heastink as I do have another of those (in fact a better one which I should really put on) but I somehow doubt it would be the issue.
Anyhow I hope this is enough information but I will promptly reply as soon as I can if you need to know anything else.
Thanks,

If it does not POST should it go I still get some output to the screen? I remember many years ago I could get to the BIOS but not boot with no RAM in. Should this happen with this board? All I would like to do is eliminate as many components as possible.
I am not sure sucessfully POST ing is necessarily important in this instance as the issue is (to me)a little odd. Even if it does not POST should it stay on for more than a second and secondly if it does turn off should it stay off and turn on and off ad infinitum? Just to not I am not using the case power switch just in case this had for whatever reason got jammed (this has happened on a computer I had to fix once (I am not a professional but often get roped in to "can you just have a quick look at..."))
Once again a huge thanks for the continued support on this, I have had far more useful advice/questions asked so far from you than I have from MSI themselves and actually had responses unlike my retailer (I will have ot try call them tommorow).

Overclocking MSI X58A-GD65

Greetings to all!
I would like to overlock my computer properly in order to be able to achieve better perfomance in gaming
That is due to the reason I don't want to spend more money to this computer (I have already spent a lot)
My system build is:

As you can see my build can be considered high-end.
So far I have overclocked CPU to run at 3.0 GHZ and RAM speed at 1800 MHZ.
If I set CPU to run at a higher speed the system boots fine but the OS refuses to start
Also I have encountered some hang ups in games. I believe it's because of the automized RAM timings.

Text in blue means that these options are Disabled by me
Reasons: These technologies conserve power, I want to have better perfomance not to conserve energy.
Text in grey means that these options cannot be changed
Ouf, that all the options in Cell menu... This motherboard must have been designed for professional overclockers.
So any suggestions, any guides that I should follow?
I have heard and seen on the internet that Core i7 920 can reach 4,0 GHZ but not quite stable can I achieve such perfomance with good stability?
How do I get the real full specifications of these RAMs?
Should I enable some of the CPU features to conserve power and have a better temperature?
Should I enable also green power?
PS) Again to clarify it. I'm aiming for perfomance.

It does not make sense to try overclocking the CPU and rhe memory at the same time, as it does not allow you to know if stability problems are caused by instable memory settings or instable CPU related settings.
Because of that, you should split your whole OC task into two obectives:
1. Objective: Overclock the CPU, not the memory.
2. Objective: Once the desired CPU Overclock is reached & stable, start worrying about the memory.
To reach your first objective, please keep your memory speeds as low as possible (keep it @DDR3-1066) and focus on the processor only.
So should I leave all the RAM options to Auto?

Recommend opening a ticket with MSI Tech Support & describing in detail the problems you are having with the new bios. Since this is a user to user forum, nothing concerning a bios revision or the like is going to get fixed here. About the only advice anyone here could give would be maybe some new setting in the bios has been added, or a setting has been overlooked preventing the desired results.
After taking a peek in the manual, nothing is shown about the board having these setting options. It's possible the new bios has incorporated it. It would show up in bios Cell Menu & the description of what it is & what it does would be in the info box to the right. When OC'ing, make sure to disable Spread Spectrum. After the bios update, did you remove the power cord from the PSU & clear CMOS?
I have disabled the "Spread Spectrum" because it caused slow perfomance especially in SSD.
About the power cord and clear cmos. No, never, ever.

I don't see the point of posting system specs because I'm sure it's a bug, the bios refuses to save the Cell Menu options but whatever. I can't argue with that because this information is crucial to most issues

what is the expected upload speed?
on the second Upload 350Bps is not realistic...
there are newer drivers as well: 1.1.49.1068
