MSI P55 GD65 SLI Problem

Hi I am running 2 x gtx460 in sli mode, looking at the mobo specs the link width should be x8 x8. However using both gpuz and pc wizard 2010, they showed that the cards are running at x8 and x4. Are there any settings to change?
Cheers!

Okay,

What happens @stock clock speeds?  For testing purposes: Please unplug your PSU from A/C power and >>Clear CMOS<<, then load "Optimized Defaults" in BIOS Setup and set the memory clock speed to DDR3-1333.
Any change regarding the lane assignment?

  • MSI Z87-GD65 SLI problem

    I have been using the z87-gd65 motherboard with an msi gtx 770 since they both came out, and they have both been working great.   I recently just purchased a second msi gtx 770 for SLI, however when I enable SLI, and try to play ANY game it will either crash immediately or run the game and the screen will flicker very bad.  Both cards are functioning great if used individually as a single card. Has anyone else run into any SLI issues with this motherboard?   Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    so far some of things I have tried to no avail are...
    -updated motherboard bios
    -updated both video card vbios individually
    -tested each card individually
    -tested each pci-express slot individually
    -replaced SLI bridge connector
    -reset BIOS defaults
    -tested all available nvidia drivers since the gtx 770 was released
    -swapped power supplies (both are 850 Watt with 70+ on the 12v rail)
    -changed various game tweaks/profiles and vsync options at different refresh rates

    If you need to raise the voltage to run at default speeds, the card is most likely defective. A vbios update sometimes helps, but it should work at default settings.
    I had 1 ASUS 660ti OC version, had this for a year and worked great without any changes (updated vbios it cause of GOP). 2 weeks ago i bought a second one, MSI 660ti Power Edition OC (also updated vbios cause of GOP). Tested the second one as single as well without issues and without any changes to the voltage.
    But running it in SLI mode causes crashes, i personally thought because they are both overclocked and running in SLI that they need a bit more voltage. I've read this in a post as well and it surely solved my SLI crashing issues.

  • MSI P55-GD65 memory problem

    I have a problem with memory in Windows 7-64bit.  It only use 3GB of 4 GB, despite the fact PC recognize all 4GB RAM. It say that 1 GB it's hardware reserved. Today I updated BIOS to 1.5 version due to announce that "Fixed system report incorrect memory size when install 8G memory"
    What I've already done:
    1. Checked the socket for bent pins as I found the solution in other topic here. I have a LOTES socket and didn't find any bent pin or no contact pad on CPU
    2. Swapped the two RAM modules between them. No use.
    3. Checked RAM modules in another PC, AMD processor and there was no problem, recognized 4GB, used 4GB.
    4. Run memtest86+ - no error found.
    The strange fact is that in Linux (Gentoo) I set swappines to 90(%), mounted a tmpf (3GB size) in an empty folder and filled it until it was full. No swap occurs - 3.4 GB RAM was full. (I used top). So, it seems that the PC it's able to use more than 3GB.
    I really appreciate any clue, suggestions.
    Thank you!

    I always clear CMOS after a BIOS update and  it's Windows 7 64 bits for sure.
    Some translations are required: GO=GB; utilizabile=usable;64 de bi&#539;i=64 bits
    Later:
    I redo again tmfs test on Linux. System is hardware capable to use all 4GB. So I decided to reinstall Windows because it was preinstalled by my PC vendor. It didn't bother me until now.
    And... big surprise: Windows recognize all my 4GB. Well, so far, so good. I installed drivers from Intel, Realtek, Logitech and Hauppage. No problem with memory. The hardware reserved memory it's now 9MB + perfectly normal.
    Now, I remained with curiosity: what was the problem ? OS - it can't be, old drivers, bloatware preinstalled apps ? I suppose I'll never find out.
    Thank you Jack t.N. very much for your support.

  • 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 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.

  • 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 :(

    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?

  • [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. 

    Quote from: chrisjb on 19-January-10, 17:13:56
    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 (!!!!)

  • MSI p55 gd65 will not post

    hey guys i'm having problems with my MSI p55 gd65
    the build is
    i7 860
    msi p55 gd65
    antec signiture 650w
    ati 3450
    seagate 7200 400GB hdd
    8GB Corsair xms3 1333mhz
    ( i know some parts are under powered but it is going to form the basis of my new home server)
    anyway i managed to get server 2008 R2 installed last night so all was working for a while but after restarting after changing the comp name and registering with Microsoft (i.e first actions) the computer refuses to post.
    upon pressing the power button the power supply ticks as though there is a shot in the build somewhere , however i have tried to build this both inside and outside of a case and the same occurs.
    Thinking it could be a psu issue i tried powering another machine with the psu and it fired no problems.
    so i thought i would strip down the mother board to basics and ran the board with memory and cpu only the same occurred i have tried various different combinations of Hardware but to no avail. the only little joy i did have is when i removed the 4 pin mobo connector and then hte board starts going into a loop of lighting up the board leds for less than a second then tripping out as previous
    i have tried reseting bios on various occasions
    i have tried everything i can think of is it time to RMA the board i just feel that there is something i maybe overlooking

    I have tried both of the above and the same still occurs
    i have tried a different  psu from the machine i am typing from now and had no joy
    i believe for whatever reason my motherboard is dead (or at least shorting for some reason)
    unless there are any other ideas i think i'm going RMA

  • MSI P55 GD65 registers only 4gb of memory.

    To start off here's my system:
    CPU: Intel i5 750
    Motherboard: MSI P55 GD65
    Ram: 4x 2gb G.SKILL Ripjaws DDR3 1600 dual channel memory (8gb total)
    Video card: nvidia 9600gt 512mb (temp till new AMD cards)
    The bios boot screen states 4gb of DDR3 1333 ram.  Going into bios, it does recognize that 4x2gb sticks are in the system, but still states only 4gb of  ram available.  Booting into Win7 64-bit, the Performance and Information screen states 8gb (3.99gb usable).  Task manager/resource monitor also show only 4gb total.  Essentially, the system knows there's 8gb but will only use 4gb.
    I've been told to check for a memory remapping option in the bios, but I've seen no such option so far. 
    Link to hardocp thread on the same subject: http://hardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1452669

    I have just recently experienced this problem. I built my machine about 3 weeks ago and everything was working great, booted first try and no errors in memtest+ or LinX or Prime95. I have been running just fine since then. I have MSI P55-GD65, Core i5 750, DDR3 2x2GB GSkill Trident 2000MHz RAM.
    This past weekend I decided to mildly overclock, I upped the bclk to 160 and adjusted the DIMM voltage to 1.6 according to the RAM spec. I tested and tested this config and everything seemed stable. I have been using the machine to play games and things with no problems.
    I go to resume from hibernate this morning and the machine hangs. I restart and I notice BIOS is only showing 2GB during POST. I check out the BIOS settings and it sees the 2 DIMMS, but still only shows 2GB. I boot into Windows 7 x64 and it shows 4GB (2GB Useable). Previously all 4GB were recognized and useable just fine. This may be relevant, I don't know, but I started a long video transcoding job before bed last night. Presumably this job finished and the machine went into hibernate.
    I reset all settings back to default, thinking maybe my overclock wasn't as stable as I thought, but no change. Even before I reset the clocks, I tried upping the DIMM voltage, the VTT voltage, reducing RAM frequency. Nothing.
    I figure maybe I need to upgrade the BIOS, as I am currently running v1.5 and latest is 1.8. I download the 1.8 image to a flash drive and try to use M-Flash to boot the BIOS image off the drive, but BIOS hangs with a repeating BEEP when I try that.
    Then I noticed something very odd. When I boot up with the flash drive plugged into a USB port, BIOS reports 4GB on POST. Without the drive, 2GB on POST.
    As an absolute last resort I will reseat the CPU, but after the flash drive behaviour, I am not sure it is a CPU pin-contact issue. When I get home from work I am going to flash to v1.8 BIOS and see if that helps. If not, I will reseat all DIMMS and try that. If the problem persists, I will try DIMMS individually and in different sockets and see.
    Is there anything else I should try before reseating the CPU? What if I just wiggle the heatsink? If it all possible, I would like to avoid having to clean up the TIM and reapply, it was a big pain on my heatsink.
    Thanks,

    ive tryed reinstalling ever thing again and using one stick of ram runing out of ideas
    help me please

    download the manual from msi site , then look at different light configuration and compare it to what you see on your board when it keeps rebooting, then from the manual you should see possible causes. i give you an example
    i see red  red blue red {each light can be blue or red or green,or off}.
    and on the manual such config gives the possible cause, cpu not sited properly or memory not installed..
    from what you have described it looks you have bios problem which means you have to return it to the seller or nearest msi dealer.

  • MSI P55-GD65 freeze

    Hi,
    I recently set up a system with:
    MSI P55 GD65 BIOS ver 1.20
    Intel i5-750 Lynnfield 2.66 GHz
    Corsair TW3X4G1333C9 DDR3 1333 4GB (2x2)
    Corsair TX-750 PSU
    I'm having random freezes even booting "Winki" from the DVD I found with the motherboard (I also have Win7 64bit but has not fresh installed from prior configuration (Asus socket AM2 board) so instability could be due to many causes, but not with Winki).
    I tryed only the standard settings in BIOS ("Optimized and Failsafe") because I don't know what changes are safe in CPU or Memory settings.
    I didn't try to update the BIOS yet because this is my second P55 GD65 Motherboard sent me after RMAed the first (that had the same issues) because after the BIOS update made with M-Flash, it died. After death of first motherboard, I read MSI forum and discovered (too late) that M-Flash is not safe for BIOS update (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=119375.0). I also read (again, too late) that to update BIOS is recommended a stable system (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=103441.0).
    I read also that with Corsair RAMs, the voltage and/or timings have to be changed, but I don't know neither where (I see the menu in BIOS but I don't know which particular settings have to be changed) nor how much I can change settings without risk of damages.
    I hope to have written all the necessary info and I apologize for my english, I'm italian

    I will reinstall Win7 but I would like to have a stable machine first. At this moment I'm booting with Winki but sometimes and randomly it freezes, so I think it's not a software problem but an hardware/bios one.

  • P55-GD65 memory problem - 1066 detected instead of 1333

    Hi everyone,
    Got an issue I thought I'd ask your advice on regarding my new build.  There appears to be an issue with either memory slot 3 or 4 on my new motherboard.  I can run 4GB RAM i.e. slots 1 & 3 with no issues but if I install all 8GB and attempt to install any application, I get a BSOD and the PC reboots.  I have tested all the memory separately i.e. 4GB at a time and can find no issues but when I test all 8GB, errors are reported in Memtest86 which points to a problem with the aforementioned memory slots.  I have also tested the CPU using Prime95 and this was completed with no errors. 
    Furthermore, the memory I bought was ordered specifically because it is supposed to be Core i5 compatible: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-183-OC
    However, it is only being detected at 1066mhz, instead of 1333mhz as it's supposed to be.  I'm not sure if the 2 issues are related but as you can imagine, it's very frustrating to have new computer equipment that doesn't work properly.
    Thanks for your help :-)

    I have already logged an RMA with Overclockers to get the board replaced but has anyone else experienced a similar issue?

    Here are the images as requested.  My memory is now running at 1333MHz though I have had to manually change this in the DRAM Timing Mode and Advanced DRAM Config menus to change the timing etc.  I have seen a similar thread in this forum with the same issue, and again using OCZ memory, though theirs is 1600MHz running at 1066MHz like mine.  Could this be a problem with OCZ DDR3 dual channel memory?  The kit I purchased was supposed to Core I5 compatible...
