MSI P55-GD85 PCIE Lane

Hi community, I intend to purchase a MSI P55-GD85.
I have the follow items to be used on this motherboard, mainly:
CPU (Intel Core i7 875k)
2xSamsung F3 1TB
1xHauppauge HVR2200
MSI GTX570 1280MB
Broadcom Netxtreme PCIE Lan
Auzentech X-Fi Prelude (PCI)
Technically, the MSI P55-GD85 has 4 PCIE slot (2x16 slot, 2x1 slot).
If the 2 x1 slots are occupied (LAN card and TV Tuner) and 1 x16 slot is occupied by the Graphics card, will the occupation of the other x16 slot by a x8 card (Dell PERC 6i) reduce the bandwidth of the x16 graphic card to x8?

What PSU do you intend to use. Read here to see what the recommended power supply should be capable of. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=104805.0

BSOD when installing Samsung 830SSD (258GB) on MSI-P55-GD85

Dear experts, a question from Belgium,
A few years ago a build a PC around a MSI P55-GD85 (i870) with 8GB Corsair RAM & as main boot disk a Western Digital Velociraptor WD3000HLFS (other hardware is probably not relevant for this topic).
OS: Win 7 Home Premium x64. Everything worked as expected - no problems experienced.
Now I have purchased a Samsung SSD830 (256GB) to replace the WD as the primary boot device, with the intention to link it to the 6Gb/s SATAIII connection for fast boot times & faster program starts.
Step 1: I first connected the SSD to a 3Gb/s SATAII concetor for the cloning with the WD. I also took care of the alignment (Diskpart) and other settings.
Step 2: After the cloning I change the primary boot device in the BIOS to the SSD & disconnected the WD-disk. SSD still connected to SATAII connector -> everything works fine, the PC boots without problem & I can access folders & run programs -> looks like success.
Step 3: I update the Trim function setting, deactivate defragmentation, deactivate indexing etc ...
Step 4: I installed the latest Marvell SataIII drivers (Ver: 1.0.0.1047-WHQL), downloaded from MSI site for my motherboard
Step 5: I updated the Bios to set the 6Gb/s line entry to AHCI (this I already did before the cloning process, but no drives were connected to SATAIII connectors, so I assume no impact).
Step 6: I connect the SSD to a 6Gb/s port (SATA7 or SATA8) and reboot the PC
Problem: during the booting process, just at the timing when the OS is loaded (and the Windows icon appears on screen) I get a BSOD.
What did I do wrong ? Did I forget any driver, settings, or was my procedure wrong ?
Thank you in advance for a reply.

Thank you all for the interesting feedback.
After the feedback that my original WD-disk might not have been set up under AHCI and in that case cloning is no option, I decided last Friday to do a full clean install of Win7 on the SSD. Also upgraded the BIOS to level 1.6 and installed the latest drivers. Everything went well, but it is really a time-consuming job (computers are fun if you don't mind waiting .
System now runs without problems on the 6GB/s port, with a read speed of 372GB/s (quite disappointing when you are expecting close to 500GB/s, but acceptable after everything I read in the mean time on the Marvell 88SE9128 chipset).
Now I read on a forum in the Netherlands that this Marvell chipset does not support TRIM and it is better to switch back to the 3GB/s Intel chipset.
Is this correct ?
What are the best options in such case?
1) Stay on the 6GB/s port and perform the TRIM command manually (if that is possible by the Samsung software)
2) Switch back to a 3GB/s port on the Intel chipset that covers TRIM -> do I need to do another fresh install in this case, or can I just move the plug from the 6->3 GB/s port
3) Other options ?

P55 GD85 SLI Trouble..

P55 GD85 SLI Trouble..
Just got a new MSI GD85 with hopes to SLI, but having trouble trying to setup 2x Nvidia 9800 GT cards. Both are xfx similar style, one is xxx (core clocked 675 vs the other stock clock at 600 mhz). Nvidia's forums note the different clocks shouldn't be an issue, since their current drivers support asynchronous clocks, have tried reversing the order of the cards (slower card up top, vice versa) same issues:
The cards are recognized and seem to start up ok, recognized as SLI and enable..and seem to functional ok, but all applications and games run 5-10% slower.
Take out the second card and I'm back at normal speeds. Tried both cards alone, both function extremely similar.
MSI's website doesn't show info re: win7x64 bit testing and doesn't use these specific cards in their testing. Any ideas? Any help much appreciated.

I think its working now - not sure if it was the different nvidia driver or not because I also did the chipset drivers from intel and rebooted same time. At any rate, with a single card i am getting 21809 3DMarks (05) and 26998 in SLI. A definte improvement, but not really the numbers I was looking for.
All things considered I decided to order a MSI gtx285 today off newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16814127428 rather then purchase a 2nd GT9800.
If you look at the design of the MSI PCIe card, you kinda forget about the perfomance advantages, the card is just too damn dreamy to the eye.

3dmarks05 is a older one and resolution isn't higher, the SLI won't be feel much there.
However the score difference with/without SLI [21809 3DMarks (05) and 26998 in SLI], shows that SLI is working properly.

Can't Enable XMP after BIOS flash to V1.4 on P55-GD85

I didn't put this in the BIOS section because while the BIOS is involved, I don't think it's necessarily a BIOS issue. However, if it should go there please move it.
While not new to computers by any stretch I committed the cardinal sin of updating my BIOS when I didn't absolutely have to. While their were some issues I'd hoped would be fixed with a new BIOS revision, they weren't critical.
I have a i7 860 Lynnfield system running Win 7 Home Premium 64 with a MSI P55-GD85 mobo which has been running fine since being built in March of this year. This was the first BIOS flash since I've built the system. The system came with either V1.0 or V1.1 (I think it was V1.1). I checked using Live Update (yes, I now know this is bad) and found there had been several udpates since my current version. I went ahead and used Live Update to flash the BIOS (yes, I know...not a good idea). Contrary to the horror stories the flash itself went fine. I watched it flash the BIOS and everything verified fine. Of course after the update I had to reset my BIOS settings to get the system to run which went fine. The problem is that the one thing I can't do is enable the XMP option for the memory without the system crashing. If I enable this option the system will POST and then do a memory dump before ever getting to the desktop. Without turning this option on I can't take full advantage of my RAM. I am running G.SKILL Trident 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000) which are XMP compliant and ran without issue up until the BIOS update. It is possible that there is some other setting that I didn't reset after the BIOS change to allow this to work that I am missing. I know I did a bunch of tweaking and changing of settings trying to get things to run correctly when I first built the system. I've gone over and over the BIOS and can't find anything else to try to get me to allow to enable the XMP option without crashing. By simply enabling that option my system would normally run stable at about 3.6-3.7GHz.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might be happening or what I can do about it? About the only other thing I can think of is to reflash the BIOS back to a previous version to see if that helps. I am sure there is something I am missing as there is no reason the BIOS shouldn't allow the XMP feature to be enabled without crashing. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks.

What is up with the Marvell 9123 Raid Controller? P55-GD85

Hi all,
I recently bought an MSI P55-GD85 - I updated the bios to the latest 1.3. Everything is good and I love it.
The problem came when I bought an SSD. First of all, I NEVER wanted to use the Marvell Sata ports (white one, Port 7 and 8) because I don't have any SATA III drives but right now It seems that I don't have a choice because of the SSD.
Originally, I ran Raid 0 on my 2 x Samsung F3 Spinpoint 500GB which is plugged on the P55 sata ports (ports 5 and 6). Of course that means that the P55 sata controller is running in Raid Mode.
Now the SSD came to play and wanted to use it as boot drive. I plugged it into SATA 0 (P55). I decided to run some benchmarks and tests BEFORE installing Windows 7 on it (still keeping my Raid 0 Samsungs). I ran some tests and it was amazing. ATTO and HD Tune pro hits the spec speeds of the SSD. For the sake of it I also ran test on the Samsung that I have. In raid 0, I hit 280mbps reads speeds/13.5ms seek which is very very good.
Now the problem:
Even though I have a Single SSD drive, TRIM does NOT work because it is connected to the same P55 SATA ports where my Samsung Raid is connected - which is of course, in Raid mode. As far as I know TRIM will only work in AHCI mode for the P55 ICH10R chip.
I don't want to give up my Raid setup so I though maybe I should connect it to the Marvell Raid. I had to reformat and rebuild the RAID volume in Marvell and reinstall Windows 7. This time I also installed Windows 7 on my SSD so I can benchmark my Raid 0 (marvell controller). To my shock these are the results:
Using HD Tune Pro:
P55 Raid - 2 x 500gb samsung F3s
Max Read - 280mbps
Min Read - 220mbps
Average - Around 240mbps
seek - 13.5
Marvell Raid 0 - 2 x 500gb samsung f3s
Max Read - 160mbps
Min Read - 113mbps
Average - Around 130mbps
seek - 15.6ms
I made sure that all drivers are updated (unless I need to flash the BIOS for the Marvell chip - is that possible)? I'm in the office right now as I can't remember the exact version of the marvell, I think it is 1.0.0.1013 (I'll edit as soon as I go home).
As you can see, the performance is like half! Which is unacceptable.
Then, just for tests, I tried to plug in my Single SSD to the Marvell white Port (port 7) and ran some benchmarks.
Here are the results:
P55 ports Single - Kingston 64gb SSDNow V series
Max reads: 180mbps
Min reads: 130mbps
Ave reads: 140ish
Seek: .2ms
- it did not hit the 210mbps theoretical speed that it pretty decent IMO
Marvell Sata ports - Single Kingston 64gb SSDNow V series
Max reads: 130mbps
Min reads: 110mbps
Ave reads: 120ish mbps
seek: .3
I also noticed real world performance (like boot times and application snappiness) differences between Marvell and the ICH p55 controllers. The Marvell does not perform well compared to the intel one.
BTW, I also tried the Jmicron 36x Sata port 9 and it is so much worse.
Is the Marvell Controller really that slower compared to the Intel Controllers?
Could any one please help me to improve my RAID and/or AHCI mode of my Marvel; controller? Also, does TRIM work with Marvell Controllers in AHCI mode?
Thank you!

The Marvell Controller Firmware Updates will come as part of the system BIOS Update. I am not sure if this has to do with the Controller Firmware or the driver version used. But in any case, I suggest you contact MSI Technical Support and report your findings so they can check it:
http://support.msi.com/
Thank you for your reply.
I hope it is nothing serious. I have to make screenshots and make a better documentation of my findings before I send it to them.
How about the others that use Marvell 9123 in SATA II or SATA II RAID-0? Am I just alone?

Help! bsod/freezesh/hangs p55-gd85. Compatibility issue?

Help needed please! Why can't i run my mems at 1600 or even at 1333 at stock or oc'd setting with this board? Compatibility issue with p55-gd85? Even with xmp turned on or off, all is at stock/default/auto settings at bios or even oc'd, my system hangs/freezes/or experiencing bluescreens if mems are running at 1333 or worse at 1600. Tested my mems with memtest and mems worked perfectly.. I tried my corsair mems to an intel manufactured board and it worked fine even at 1333. I tried 2 sticks of kingston ddr3 2gb 1333 in my gd85 and worked fine at 1333. Tried tweaking the recommended timings and voltages for the mems but still, nothing.. System is stable only if mems are running at 1066. It seems that my corsair mems are not compatible with my board... I've got the latest bios for the board(ver. 1.6). I've checked the memory module test reports for this board at msi website and i haven't seen my mems part number been tested.. Whats wrong with my system? Is there a possibility of MSI releasing a new version of bios in which my mems could work perfectly?
my specs are:
msi p55-gd85 mobo (ver. 1.6 bios)
2x2gb corsair dominator mems (part number:CMD4GX3M2A1600C8)

This is a user to user forum. You will need to pose this question to MSI technical. >>How to contact MSI.<<
Your processor supports 1066 and 1333 memory according to Intel. It is possible that a Beta BIOS may have been released addressing memory incompatibility.

Did you use the same processor on the other board you tested on ?
Have you reseated your processor and checked the pad indentations and pins for any anomalies yet, i.e. bent pins ?
Do a CMOS clear. >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Test with one mem module only in the first slot nearest to the CPU. Manually set your memory in the BIOS to be 1333 at 1,5V with timings 9.9.9.24. Leave XMP disabled. If that works add the second module and retest.

Replace a P55-GD65 with a P55-GD85?

Is the newer MSI P55-GD85 very similar to the older GD65 so that I could swap the hard drive from my GD65 system to a newer GD85 and have Windows adapt easily?
I assume that I might have to install USB3 and maybe SATA drivers.

I think you should have no problems with this because it has the same Intel chipset.
Could be that Windows Activation Center grumble about the Computer reconstruction.

MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC PCI lanes all empty

Hey guys, I've been slamming my head on the wall in frustration for the past few hours and I'm stuck.
My problem is that the board is not recognizing any PCI cards. (Went into bios and hardware manager, says all are empty) I've tried graphics cards, WiFi cards, and even the WiFi/Bluetooth dongle that comes with the board I have installed and says its an empty PCI slot in the bios hardware manager.
The build boots fine with integrated graphics, so when I did my test boot I figured the GPU needed drivers and brushed it off. But now I'm realizing that none of the PCIE lanes are working.
I have double checked to make sure there aren't any bent CPU pins, I have reseated the CPU twice now, I have updated the bios, reseated the graphics card, reseated the WiFi card. I've basically done everything under the sun and don't know what to do. I've read two other articles about it possibly being a bad mobo which would suck, but I know it happens. Any thoughts on fixing this?
System specs:
Mobo: MSI Z79 Gaming 9 AC
CPU: Intel 4670k
Ram: G.Skill Trident X 2x8GB 2600

If the board is still mounted in a case get it out of there, put it on a non-conductive surface and test it outside case with just minimal components. Try adding a PCI-E card.
Out of the case now, still not better. And I should've corrected myself, it was late...both of them were pcie

Distance between two PCIe x 16 slot of P55 GD85

Hello,
Does anyone have an idea what is the clear distance between two PCIe x 16 slot of P55 GD85? planning to get one if my 2 x GTX 285 with modified cooling fan will fit in. each VGA with modified fan is around 55mm in height.
thank you,

Exactly, there was no "rude" intention or the will to provoke you behind my previous answer. In fact, I spent 15 minutes to find a ruler in order to measure the port distance on three different ATX Board to make sure I am not telling you anything wrong. I would not have bothered to do that if I had been planning to write a rude reply.
[On the flip side: Personally, I find it kind of rude that you are accusing me of 'rudeness'. However, I suggest we better drop the whole 'who is really being rude here' discussion.]

The distance between the center lines of two neighbouring slots is always ~ 2.05cm. There are two slots between the PCI-E-x16 slots of the P55-DG85. Simply do the math!
Quote
I am not a mathematician
The distance between the center lines of the two PCI-E-x16-slots of the P55-GD85 is ~6.15cm (there are two more slots in between --> 2.05cm x 3).
This means that this ...

MSI Z97 XPower AC Intel PCIe Lane 2 issue

Im really disappointed with MSI. Iv gone through 2 of these motherboards and they just keep having faults.
The latest one being that PCIe lane 2 doesnt even recognise my GPU which works perfect in the other lanes. Is there anything im missing in the bios?

Thanks for the great help RemusM. You kinda have put my mind at ease but its really terrible from MSI to make such a mess up of this.
Surely they would get loads of RMA's because of this since the no graphic cards works in PCI E2 slot

P55-GD85 shuts down then reboots on its own?

I have just set up a new P55-GD85, when I shut it down, it reboots on its own?
I would appreciate ideas on how to fix this do do a normal shutdown

Did you try disabling every option in the "Wake Up Event Setup"?
I just checked the Changelog for the latest BETA Releases for your board. The latest BETA Version is A7585IMS.132 [v1.3b2] and among other things it includes the following fixes that seem to address the problem you are experiencing:
Quote
- Fixed WOL still work after disable LAN controller.
- Fix after use LAN (on PCIE slot) wakup S1,system can't shut down from OS issue.
For you, this means good news: Your problem is already known and was, at it looks, already fixed. All you have to do right now is to contact MSI Technical Support and ask them to provide you with that BIOS Release.

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.

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

Left PC on ever since. Had to turn off yesterday to check unrelated network issue and when I tried to restart It won't post. Just get 3 beeps. No video. Nothing. Tried to clear cmos, switch memory sticks, only use one mem stick in slot 1 and I get nothing but 3 beeps. Very unlikely that both sticks are bad. Tried powering on from internal switch and got nothing but 3 beeps. Beeps are less than 1 second in duration so I guess they are short beeps.

I am ready to toss this board and buy another unless I can get this working.
At the moment there is know certainty about the definate cause for your problem. What makes you so sure that the board is the cause (and not your CPU (which hosts the memory controller, after all), faulty RAM sticks (have you tested every single stick of RAM you have in the first slot (check user manual) and cleared CMOS (with A/C power cable unplugged from PSU before each new start-up attempt)?).
A contact problem between CPU Pads and board socket pins could also cause this (please reseat CPU and heatsink). Another possible cause is a short-circuit problem inside the case (test the board outside the case on a non-conducting surface).

P55-GD85 - Marvell 9128 RAID stuck in rebuild - paused

Testing the SATA III controller to see if its worth using in a real world RAID 1 config. I tested a disk loss and the RAID array properly went into degraded mode. When reattaching the second disk I entered the RAID BIOS and set it to rebuild the array. The rebuild started then paused at 1%. Its been paused for hours and won't continue. I've tried rebooting to Windows 7 and also let it sit in the RAID BIOS screen to see if it will rebuild with Windows not running. Same thing, stuck in paused.
I am aware that paused rebuilds has been a problem with other controllers in the past. Is this a RAID BIOS issue, Marvell driver issue??? Please help.
My P55-GD85 is running V1.1 BIOS and the latest Marvell driver from MSI downloaded yesterday.
I spoke with Marvell technical support and although unhelpful they did tell me that there is a newer version of the Marvell RAID BIOS that MSI should be using. That version ends in 1014. My board is using 1013 currently. Can someone look into this please???

Claykin,
I emailed a contact within MSI and received the response below. The MSI contact asks that you try the 1.24 beta bios. You'll need contact MSI support. List what the issue is, link to this thread, and let them know about my contacting MSI and the response. Use this link for support: http://www.msicomputer.com/msi_user/ts_form.aspx
Hi Mike,
Can you ask him to try the latest beta bios v1.24 first?
If that doesn’t help, can you ask him his configuration details, maybe we can reproduce the issue here.
Best regards,
MSI Customer Service Dept.
I tried V1.24 beta BIOS and it has the same 1.0.0.1013 Marvell BIOS. MSI should consider upgrading to a new revision from Marvell.

ISSUE: msi P55 CD-53, Bios Rev 1.B (2011)

ISSUE: msi P55 CD-53, Bios Rev 1.B (2011)
I updated from BIOS ver 1.1 to 1.B, and everything went pretty well.
I'm having an issue however with the JMicron PCI Express to SATAII Host Controller ROM v 1.07.14, it says "Detecting Drives, Please wait..."
...and it takes about 3 minutes, whereas before, it only took a few seconds. This means every time I boot or reboot my PC, 3 minutes is added to that time while the JMicron controller seems to be having a problem.
I'm not happy about adding 3 minutes to my boot time
I would like to know:
- Is this the normal expected behavior?
- Is 1.B a beta BIOS revision?
- Is anyone else having this issue?
- Is there any way to fix it?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Please supply full system spec. >>Posting Guide<<
We shall assume that you did load all the needed drivers. See here for the last drivers: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/P55-CD53.html#/?div=Driver&os=Win7%2064
You may have to flash back to the previous BIOS to confirm if your BIOS flash was the cause.
