MSI P55-GD65 - Problem with automatic fan control.

Hello.
I wish to share story of my fan speed controller.
Lately I've upgraded my machine to modern specs (look at signature) and I was quite happy about that.
It worked flawlessly for about week.
My H/W Bios settings was - CPU Smart Fan Target = 60°C and minimal fan speed 50%.
I was amazed how nicely GD65 maintained between heat and speed.
Yesterday, I've noticed that my fan is really quiet all the time, even when gaming (before it accelerate speed while hardcore gaming settings). I was quite content about that, until my computer crashed due to overheating while playing Battleforge match.
After reboot I've ran Intel BurnTest and HWmonitor. OH my, what was my surprise when I saw that fan speed is always 50% and do not speeds up when cores are heating up!
I started to checking things out. What I've discovered:
-(CPU Smart Fan ON) Fan is always at minimal speed given in BIOS. It doesn't accelerate even if CPU is burning.
-(CPU Smart Fan ON) Fan speed cannot be controlled by any program (like SpeedFan).
-(CPU Smart Fan OFF = 100% fan speed) Fan speed CAN be controlled by program like SpeedFan, which saves me from fan buzzing.
I've try to fix that by:
-Checking cables.
-Clearing CMOS.
-Updating BIOS to 1.6.
-Praying.
And still nothing.
My conclusion:
Fan speed cannot be change when Smart Fan is on, it locks fan speed at minimal speed given in bios.
Now I just hoping that this is somehow stock fan fault, new Zalman CNPS 10X QUIET is in delivery.

No problem here with Target 55° and Speed 37.5%.
Fan runs at 1330 below 58° and 2050 above which is max.
The CPU is running at 3050 MHz because of XMP 'overclocking'
Have reverted to BIOS version 1.3, due to XMP problems with other versions.

  • MSI P55-GD65 problem

    Computer is new, hardware bought via internet. After first run everything was good - no problems, but when I tried to install Windows XP appeared an error (unfortunately I didn't type down what exactly was written on screen), something like an  error or failure of BIOS components. The installation was interrupted and after next start I heard one short - beep.  After few seconds I see black screen and I can't do nothing.
    I tried to run a computer with a single RAM card, and was trying to change it's location - but with no result.

  • Problem with Automatic Gain Control Example

    I tried to open AGC example here, i'm using labview 2013 and installed DSP module 8.6 but it didn't work.
    The project give warning at DSK6416,DSK6711,DSK6713 and speedy-33 and the VIs AGC, EMB sinewave form can't be found.
    I tried to install Speedy-33 driver separetly but it said that a later version is already installed.

    Unfortunately, teh DSP module is discontinued. There is no DSP Module available for LabVIEW 2009 or later. The version you have will only work for LabVIEW 8.6 or 8.6.1.
    This is another post with the same problem just for reference.

    Well lets trace back the steps. It started happening at the time you added the 480.
    I don't want to be a pessimist, but there is the possibility that an overload on the PSU may have caused a problem on the 12V circuit of the PSU causing other damage on the 12V board input circuits.  
    but how motherboard could be damaged, this psu ocz fatal1ty 550w is about 1,5 year old, and its sufficient to turn on it gtx 480, even pc didn't turn on when i changed on gtx 480.

  • Problems with MSI P55-GD65

    Hello,
    I purchased an MSI P55-GD65 mobo approximately a month ago and have been having some problems with it. When I first started it, everything turned on fine. I attempted using OC Genie and began to encounter problems restarting the computer. Either the computer would turn on but I would receive a blank black screen and would have to perform a hard shutdown, or the computer would turn on, stay on for 3 seconds, then reboot. I realize the latter problem is an overclocking protection measure. Occasionally the computer would start right off the bat, but this is a rare event. At first I thought this was due to bad overclocking, so I set all BIOS settings to default. It seemed to work fine for a few days, but now I am experiencing these problems with default settings. I am currently testing both sticks of RAM with memtest. During testing of 1 stick, my computer went to a black screen and stopped responding. However, I have been unable to reproduce this effect and so far no errors are being reported. I reseated the CPU to reset my fan, yet the problems began before this. I think it might be the RAM,but I am worried that either I have a short (in which case I wouldn't know how to find it), or I have a damaged motherboard (in which case I am past my RMA date). Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! 

    Hey, thanks for the quick response! I have cleared CMOS and am currently retesting. I will update with further results. Additionally, I forgot 1 more symptom. When the POST screen comes up, it turns into a blank white screen and I have to perform a hard shutdown. This has only happened twice though.

  • [MSI P55-GD65] Different XMP readings from MSI Control Center, CPU-z, BIOS

    Hello,
    I have a MSI P55-GD65 with a 4 GB Corsair XMP DDR3-1600 CL8 kit (2x2GB, in dual channel configuration),
    however I am getting very different readings for the XMP profile from MSI Control Center, CPU-z and the BIOS.
    Here is a screenshot from CPU-z and Control Center: http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/2217/xmpv.jpg
    The memory is rated at 1.65v for 1600mhz CL8, however control center reports it as being 1.5v, CL9.
    CPU-z reports timing rate to be 2T, however when setting the RAM settings to XMP/Auto in the BIOS (which automatically clocks to 1600 mhz, CL8),
    timing rate gets set to 1T (which tends to be unstable with CL8).
    So my question is: how can I reliably read the XMP information? My bios is the latest version by the way (v1.9).

    Quote
    the bios readings are almost the same, except that the BIOS sets 1T timing.
    The BIOS readings (or: what the BIOS actually sets) is not that important when we talk about SPD/XMP Profiles.  When you are in BIOS Setup you should be able to find Memory-Z which does nothing else but reading the SPD/XMP Profiles that are programmed onto the SPD Chip (regardless of what the actual settings are).
    Quote
    So I'll just use the bios XMP settings but change the timing to 2T and see if that is stable.
    Yes.  AND: The fact that the BIOS automatically sets the Command Rate to 1T instead of 2T is not okay.  Please report this problem to MSI Technical Support: http://support.msi.com/

  • MSI P55-GD65 Freezing and BSOD Problem?

    Hello I got a weird problem with my new PC, I bought some new components to my PC (I5 750, MSI P55 GD65, 2x2GB RAM DDR3 Corsair TW3XG1333C9DHX), Well the problem is that I'm getting freezing issues everytime (Sometime just surfing on internet, other times doing nothing at all) and sometimes BSOD. I check even log and all it said is "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."
    Also, I tried to reinstall Win 7 but it froze on installation, I installed it on my third try.
    I ran Memtest86 with no errors, I check the temp on CPU, GPU, HD and they were normal.
    What could be the problem?
    Thanks for the help, I really need it :(

    Quote from: chad179 on 28-June-10, 09:17:30
    If u mean how the voltage is set on those thing there it is:
    High vdrop----------------------------Low vdrop
    vcore - Auto (1.22500v)---------------1.30
    vtt - Auto (1.097v)--------------------1.22
    dram voltage- 1.600v-------------------1.65
    pll -Auto (1.800v)-----------------------1.85
    pch - Auto (1.050v)----------------------1.10
    Change those voltages to the onee's on the right.  Change your memory back to 1t, use the lower qpi setting, and 5x memory multiplyer.  I really believe its because your using a incorrect memory multiplyer.  With these voltages and a good cpu cooler you can run blk up to 180.  Let me know what happens.
    It's safe to do all this change?

  • MSI P55-GD65 EIST doesnt work

    hello to everybody
    i just asssemble my new system today and i ran to a few problem.
    1st. the overclocking on this board with i3 530 is not that good as i need exorbitant voltage to power up the same setting that only use stock voltage on a Asus M3F
    2nd. the Intel EIST feature doesnt seems to be working as the multi doesnt lower itself when idling.
    3rd. the PCI-e lane on my 4870 show that its running on 8x rather than 16x speed but i already solve that by using the bios version 1.73b.
    here are my spec
    Intel i3 530
    MSI P55-GD65 with bios 1.73b

    This should probably be adressed in a seperate topic in the overclocking section of this forum.  Please provide a full list of all your OC-relevant Cell Menu settings when you start a thread about your problems.

    EIST is an essentially software controlled feature.  You need to enable proper energy saving profiles in Windows to turn on EIST.

  • [WTA] MSI P55-GD65 6 phase on all the time? Where's APS?

    Hello, First Post here..
    I bought a MSI P55-GD65 lately and it runs spectacular and overclocks nicely. the newer BIOS 1.6 is noticably more stable when High VDroop is used than the BIOS 1.5, resulting in more power-efficient system of my own despite overclocking  .
    But nonetheless, i have some issues i would like to be answered:
    1. When I use BIOS 1.5, the core voltage would be dropped to 0.896 (CPU-Z) when i set the core voltage as auto and all the power saving features enabled (C1E & EIST Enabled, C6 state selected, Turbo Mode off). but when i flash into BIOS 1.6, the same setting does not result in decreased voltage, the core clock still slows down though like it used to be. Maybe the next revision of BIOS will fix it?
    2. I searched this forum about APS on P55-GD65, i have found that somebody here had testified that the BIOS 1.6 fixes the all-phase-working problem, as i was having the same problem too. Then i decided to flash to 1.6 too (which work flawlessly with your USB Flasher by the way, kudos  ). But the problem still persists. APS only works when i apply through Control Center. i wonder about APS statement of "will work regardless of operating system" is a true and automated one. And yeah, i have tried to clear CMOS and run it on nominal mode and still no changes from BIOS 1.5. The 6 phase LED is lit all the time unless i "apply" in Control Center.
    My Current system are:
    MSI P55-GD65 (Lotes ILM)
    I5 750
    HD 5770
    Silverstone Zeus 750Watt
    WDC Black 500GB
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    Thanks for your attention.

    you have to run the cpu at default settings so (133mhz X multiplier) the slight overclock of the cpu will disable power saving so all the phase leds will constantly be lit up.
    Have the multiplier running at 160 because of XPM 1600 memory blocks, and the board runs with 2/3 phases in normal mode.
    Are using BIOS 1.3 because of XPM problems with other versions.

  • MSI P55 GD65 Booting issue [SOLVED]

    Hello everyone!
    I finished a new build two days ago:
    Intel i5-750, 2.66GHz
    MSI P55-GD65, rev. 1.0, BIOS 1.3, Lotes socket
    A-DATA 2x2GB DDR3 1600Mhz CL8 Vitesta Extreme Edition
    GIGABYTE ATi R5850 1GB
    KINGSTON V-series SSD 64GB SATA
    SAMSUNG SpinPoint F3 500GB SATA 7200rpm
    Artic Cooling Fusion 550, 550W, dc outputs are mentioned below
    and some minor components (optical drives, wifi card etc.)
    I started the computer and everything seemed fine. I managed to enter the bios. I was checking H/W monitor and several other options, I didn't change anything. Suddenly (after circa 5mins) the computer shut down and started to turning on and off repeatedly. I stopped the loop by turning off the power supply. I started it again, however it got stuck in the loop imediately. After a while I managed to access the bios again, meanwhile I was trying to find some answers on internet.
    I decided to remove all memory sticks (as a lot of topics here in forum which are describing the very same problem sign RAM problem) and started computer. I expected beeps and LED-show. However, the computer didn't start at all! Even fans were not spinning, just nothing (although PSU was giving tension). I put RAM back and computer started. It was like black magic. I tried again, remove RAM - no start, put RAM back - no start too. Mobo went definitely dead. So I RMAed it.
    I've obtained a new one, which was:
    MSI P55-GD65, rev. 1.0, BIOS 1.2, Foxconn socket
    I put all the stuff together and started computer. Everything went fine, I managed to enter the bios. Nevertheless, I decided to check RAMs for sure; I changed booting devices, restarted and booted system rescue cd with some utils. I started memcheck basic test. The basic test was fine with no errors, then I started filling with random pattern test. It ran for almost 24h. I wanted to try another exercise test and... computer shut down and the loop was there once AGAIN!
    I don't think the mobo is the issue here anymore. I bet on two things: PSU or RAM (I'm not going to think about CPU!)
    I don't recall exact dc ouputs but: AC Fusion has 2 12V rails with 17A each. Mobo needs 18A, but as I understand it, I have to check 2 rails combined against the requirement - 34A > 18A, it's okay, isn't it? I've choosen this one as I wanted silent PSU (it performed really good in tests, f.e.: http://www.anandtech.com/casecoolingpsus/showdoc.aspx?i=3516). I don't have any other similar PSU to swap (neither my friends).
    My suspicion is the problem is RAM incompatibility. My RAMs (AD31600E002GU2K) have 1.65-1.8V working voltage. Maybe the mobo sets auto settings badly (I'm not present at my computer now, I left for the weekend); they are not in QVL too (http://eu.msi.com/uploads/test_report/TR10_1846.pdf). The problem is I was not able to get into bios before I left. As I read on the internet, P55 is pretty touchy when it comes to RAM. I'm thinking about swapping them for Kingston 2x2GB 1333MHz DDR3 CL7 (http://www.valueram.com/datasheets/KHX1333C7D3K2_4GX.pdf; which are not in QVL either, but KHX1333C8D3K2_4GX are; only latency difference).
    Any advices on the whole problem?
    P.S.: I've tried CMOS clear on the former one too, no change. As I mention I went through the most of the gd65 booting issues posts here on MSI forum and several others.

    Do you think Corsair VX550 550W could do the job? It has a single rail with 41A on 12V. ATi certified Straightpower BQT E6-550W for 5850, which has 4 rails per 18A, but overall 41A too (http://www.be-quiet.net/be-quiet.net/data/media/_stories/216/sp_e6_550_EN.pdf).

  • MSI P55-GD65 + Corsair XMS3 CM3X2G1333C9 = Random freezes,buzzes,reboots..

    Hello..
    My system specs are:
    Mobo: MSI P55-GD65
    CPU: Intel Core i7-860 (with Megahalems heatsink)
    RAM: 2x 2x2GB (dual channel = 8GB in total) Corsair XMS3 CM3X2G1333C9
    GPU: ATI HD5770
    PSU: Corsair HX520W
    The problem I face, is that I get random freezes (sometimes this is accompanied by a loud buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz coming out of my speakers), or cold reboots. It's not something that is triggered by some specific action (e.g when I run a specific application or something like that), sometimes there are days that I don't get a single reboot, and other days that I get 4-5 freezes one after another..
    I read in another forum, that this specific series of motherboards (GDxx) have some trouble dealing with certain memory brands, especially corsair. I don't know if that's true, just throwing it out there if someone has any similar experience to share..
    So far I've tested my memory with memtest (overnight 8 hour test, it completed a few cycles), I've tested my cpu with a several hour prime95 small FFT test, which stressed my CPU in 100% for a few hours but that didn't trigger a freeze or a reboot. My temps are perfectly nice and normal..
    Reading from Everest, I still use the AMI v1.0 version of the BIOS, but I don't tend to update things that work (there were a couple of times in the past that this only made things worse). I have set my bios settings to auto, do I don't know if I should play around with anything there, I must say though I've always been a bit skeptical about changing voltages or something (never played with overclocking in my whole life), fearing that I could damage anything, or at least lower its "expiration date"..
    I hope someone expert can help me out..
    PS. I must say this mobo is the second one I got, my first GD65 was replaced, but it had nothing to do with similar issues, I accidentally damaged the cpu socket. I can't seem to recall though, if I had such problems with my first mobo too..

    As gcanuck mentioned, in BIOS Cell Menu, Spread Spectrum should be disabled. If not done so, test each RAM stick individually in the primary black dimm slot. DRAM V. maximum is 1.65v's. It also may be that the CPU IMC refuses to cooperate. With only two sticks in the black slots, does this freeze problem continue? Another possibility is that the two RAM kits are of different chips even though they have the same specs. Are the batch numbers the same? Some may have Elpida chips, & the other kit Samsung.

    Although another guy in another topic suggested even higher voltages, up to 1.79V (!!!!)

  • P55-GD65 BSOD With onboard audio enabled

    Hello all,
    I bought a new computer with a P55-GD65 motherboard 2 weeks ago and Im getting a random blue screen when the onboard audio is enabled in the BIOS.
    Im using the latest BIOS version mainboard drivers. Im running a legal version of Windows 7 home premium and installed all updates.
    The blue screen appears in all situations, browsing the internet, playing a game, even when the machine is just turned on and im not working on it.
    Here parts of the latest dump files:
    1. string:SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
    bug check code: 0x0000003b
    caused by driver: win32k.sys
    2. string: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
    bug check code: 0x0000001e
    caused by driver: ntoskrnl.exe
    II did search a lot for this errors and found no relationship with onboard audio, the weird thing is the BSOD are only happening when onboard audio is enabled on my system.
    Any idea how to fix this, it would be great because the onboard audiocard is working alright with games and teamspeak. I have tried a X-FI Titanium card of Creative that was not working.
    Hope someione can help.
    Kind regards,

    I am not overclocking the system, the BIOS has default values with onboard audio disabled at the moment.
    Now once again the problem:
    If I enable the onboard audio controller the systems crashed with a blue screen. Somethimes it takes an hour, somethimes it crashed within 2 minutes after booting.
    It doesnt matter what Im doing, even when I just startup the machine and aint using it because Im making some cofee its stuck at a blue screen when I come back.
    If I disable the onboard audio controller It does not crash, I can leave the system on all day without a problem.
    Hope someone can help.
