MSI P67/H67/H61 Socket 1155 Series Mainboards B2 or B3

When making posts concerning 6 series chipset mainboards here in the forum, it will be of great help to those of us providing assistance if it is mentioned exactly which stepping it is, B2 or B3, & BIOS version the board was shipped with or currently has installed. Please don't forget to include the systems components details, & the amps on the PSU's +12V rail(s) can often be of help. Listing a generic "I have 4GB RAM" isn't enough. Brand, 2X2GB 2X4GB etc., rated speed @ x.xx voltage information can also be very helpful. Thanks.

The >>Posting Guide<< reminder. Thanks HU16E.
More often than not this elementary data requirement is forgotten, which causes unnecessary delays in help being forthcoming.

google suggests you swapped one crap psu for another
get a corsair with a single 12v rail
One could possibly expand on the psu swap description to include the RAM as well.
Offerings from Crucial or Corsair may have been a better choice. If low voltage RAM is sought after, the Corsair Low Profile Low Voltage Vengeance CML8X3M2A1600C9W sticks are excellent.

MSI P67A-G43 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel P67 wont BOOT!

My pc
PSU:Ultra 650w
CPU: Intel Core i7 2600k
MOBO:MSI P67A-G43 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel P67
Video Card:ATI 6950 GIGABYTE 2GB.
HDD:SEAGATE 1TB
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL
Explanation
I recently changed my motherboard from gigabyte+amd 955(worked flawlessly) to an intel core i7 2600k and the current mobo, i kept all the previous components and now i am having trouble booting up my pc. It starts and all the comps seem to work no beep but the monitor LED turns off and on and there is not even a "no signal" notice therefore i dont think its my video card causing the issue.
What could it be? I heard that CPU is the least faulty component.
Is the memory compatible or should i switch? worked fine on previous build.
Or is it the mobo?

Thanks for the help it happens that it was my dumb monitor not working in hdmi or dvi controller. Funny cause the component works fine on my ps3.....
So no problem whatsoever just my monitor worned out and needs to rma because its been only 1 year.
But before you leave i had to remove the cpu to check if i put it right... and maybe some thermal contact worn off a little bit because the motherboard bios in the OC section is displaying 55 degrees celcious is that normal(the bar reaches red section)? Room temp 74 degrees. also hardware monitor displays 40 degrees celcious each core Which one should i believe.

Intel Cougar Point Chipset Recall. Is the MSI P67 board affected?

According to the following article, Intel has acknowledged its chipset contains a silicon error. (Meaning you can't just load a new driver to fix the problem)
http://business-video.tmcnet.com/news/2011/01/31/5278452.htm
Intel has stopped supplying the bad chipsets and has made changes to the silicon to correct the problem, then re-started production.
Is MSI going to recall the current P67-based motherboards to replace them with fixed chipsets?

Pre-Mature official statements are not likely to be made within the next couple of days. Patience is what is called for, not excitement.
Maybe an example of the local distributor of a competitor's product will allow me to prove that an official statement can satisfy the users concerns. And this also proves that if there is intent, these plans can be implemented within a day. This is all that's needed to allay the concerns in the interim. How difficult would that be? End of speculation about what will happen if I have a faulty product. When the new chipsets arrive, I go to the distributor and am entitled to an exchange. No questions asked. My choice. That's whats needed from the manufacturers, and the result is happy users, in the knowledge that any potential problems are taken care of, even if no problems arise I will get a new board.

Due to the fact that the next generation Intel Core i7/i5 CPU is socket 1155 and will only work with the Intel 6 series based motherboards we are providing a few different solutions to meet the needs of customers:
1. Customers who do not feel comfortable with this issue and wish to have peace of mind with this solution that they provide to their customers, are welcome to bring the motherboard back. They can then buy another system based on the Intel 5 series motherboards with a Socket 1156 CPU.
2. Customers not comfortable with using these systems are also welcome to credit the boards and then purchase a new board using this credit when stock without this problem becomes available.
3. Customers that want to still make use of latest Intel 6 series solution, will able to but will be limited to only using ports 0 and 1 with one ODD and one HDD. They will also not be able to use the e-SATA port on boards that support this feature but will be able to connect the external HDDâ€™s to USB. If customers want to use more than 1 HDD, then they would need to use a third part PCI/PCI-e SATA 3.0 add on card. Customers are more than welcome to continue using these boards until we receive the new boards when stock without this problem becomes available at which time they will be eligible to receive free exchange.ge.
I trust you now understand my point in terms of the manufacturer not disclosing anything and then hoping that the absence of any news will douse the fire.

Sandybridge MSI P67-GD65 with Cayman MSI R6970 Short Test :)

Just for share and I think this post is already late because there are lots of reviews in the net for the new ATI 6970 video card. At least we can say that this would be a real benchmark score and I personally did the run. Also, I’m using Intel’s new Sandybridge for the tests and I will enumerate the configuration later on.
The video card I have here is a MSI ATI R6970-2PM2D2GD5. Specs are 2GB of GDDR5 Mems running at 5500mhz / 880mhz Default Core Clock / 256Bit and with 1536 Unified Shaders.
Plain and simple design box but its huge
Accessories
More photos of the card
You have 1 Dual-Link DVI Port / 1 Single-Link DVI / 2x Mini Display Port and lastly an HDMI connection With one card alone you can actually have 4 displays for Eyefinity
Pencil case look for the Top Side hehehehe 1x 8pin and 1x 6pin Power Inputs
Next for my Test Configuration System:

MSI P67-GD65 Query

Hi all
ok this might be a stupid question that im asking here and there maybe a simple quick soloution or maybe something else.
I just finished building my New system which is great atm but im noticing that the memory that i bought which was rated at 1600mhz is running only at 667mhz atm
Am i doing something stupidly wrong with settings and need to change the timings on the memory to get them to run at say 1333mhz or sommat like that or is my settings fine and im worried about nothing.
also a quick question on the control centre software, is it advised to have it installed as i have it installed and its on startup all the time when i dont want it to be.
ive attached a screenshot of my control centre with timings so if anyone can help with any tips to get the best of my memory then that would be awesome.

Anytime you run sticks under THEIR rated specs, it is considered underclocking them...or anyway it has been for a few years now, Intel has nothing to do with DRAM specs, JEDEC sets the DRAM standards.
I stand behind my statement that a 2500K should easily handle 1600/1866 sticks at stock, have built a number of systems with the 2500K and when there was a problem, it was almost always in the BIOS and not tied to any particular brand of mobo, not sure why you wish to slam only the DRAM manufacturers, and in this case GSkill in particular, because Yes, as a matter of fact I saw this post, they were working directly with ASUS...as they do with Gigabyte, ASRock, Intel, BioStar, ECS, and other mobo manufactures including, MSI. And it only makes sense when responding to a particular customer that you let them know that you do work directly w/ their mobo maker when issues arise, and that you aren't just blowing them off and ignoring the problems. A little further reading may have resulted in finding this post at the GSkill forums:

For MSI P67 series motherboard owners
Some have reported issues operating performance modules on the MSI P67 motherboards.
We were finally able to attain working motherboards to test these issues.
Here is what we discovered:
For B3 revisions, nothing worked.
We attempted DDR3-1333 CL7 - DDR3-1600 CL6, CL7, CL8 - DDR3-1866 CL8, CL9 - and all DDR3-2133+ products. None were able to work with stability. Lower performance products such as CL9, should work fine. We are doing our best to assist MSI in any way to quickly resolve this issue. Watch out for BIOS updates on manufacturer website, and check back here as we will provide a follow up.
For B2 revisions, we had some results. The key was to enable XMP, AND manually configure settings. Usually only one is required, but for this particular issue, the temporary solution is to do both. A BIOS update should be in store as well to solve this problem.
Here are some pictures to further explain:
http://www.gskill.com/pdf/MSI P67 Setup.pdf
Remember, this issue only applies to MSI motherboards. There are no problems with ASUS, Gigabyte, AsRock, or other P67 motherboards. These have been fully tested and approved with our RipJaws X lineup. For example with ASUS P67 motherboards, all you need to do is enable XMP in EFI/BIOS, and ANY RipJaws X memory should work flawlessly. (even DDR3-2000+) For now, we will continue to push MSI for revision.
Thank you

Where you say "If a Sandy Bridge sytem will not run a 2X2GB DDR3 1333 with 9 9 9 24" , I fully agree, but I thought we were talking about 1600 sticks here, not a 1333 set.....

Replace K7N2-L with MSI K7N2 Delta FSR Socket A nforce2

Hi I think my Mainboard has fried , if this seems to be the case I will have to replace soon , I was wondering if I replaced my Existing K7N2-L Nforce 2 board for the MSI K7N2 Delta FSR Socket A nforce2 , will my Operating system realize that ive change boards , Its just i recall going from one Board to another in the past and I ended up having to reformatt my Machine as i was getting all sorts of problems ..
i have recently Formatted and I dont want to do it agian , I have a spare board but its a SIS chipset , and wont support my CPU or My Kids CPU .. Any help would be great Cheers Kurvz

You will need to do a repair install of Windows, and you will need to reinstall the mobo drivers. Formatting isn't necessary, and was probably not the last time either. A repair install will not damage any of your important files, and you will not need to reinstall other programs (perhaps a few monitoring programs), but the updates you made to Windows will be gone.

Bios from my Msi k8n Neo Platinum (socket 754)

Wich is the last beta bios from my Msi k8n Neo Platinum (socket 754) ?
And where download?
Thanks

A thread here , from when 1.56 appeared:
MSI K8N Neo Plat Beta Bios 1.56
and when 1.55 appeared:
New Bios For MSI K8N Neo Platinum [ 1.55]
Seems to me that the 1.5x series were focused on chipset timings and ram .
Another thing is that i can boot from a usb pen with this one .(never got it to work with others) .
Beta bioses don't come with a changelog , they leak out . So any complete
list of changes is not possible to provide.

Turbo Overclock with MSI P67-GD55

Hey,
I'm trying to overclock my 2500K, but I don't want it to run always on the OC Clockrate. Now I read it should be possible to change the Turbo Multiplier so the OC only applies when heavy CPU Power is needed. When I check my BIOS and go to Overclock>CPU Features. There I find: core 0 on 37x,1 on 36x, 35x,34. But the problem is, that I can't change these values. Is this locked at the GD55 Motherboard?
System specs:
Latest BIOS version
Intel Core i5 2500K
MSI P67-GD55
4 GB RAM Kingston HyperX 1600Mhz
Samsung Spinpoint F3
Nvidia GTX275

Please read this article to better understand the turbo boost technology. http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1501/2/
The technology applies max turbo boost to 3,7GHz only on lighter loads, i.e. when one core is being used. As sson as more than one core is under load the turbo boost will reduce until under full load the processor will only run at 3,4GHz. This ensures smooth transitioning between loads and a better performance under loads. There is no reason to disable this.
Furthermore, you will find when your PC idles, the clock frequency will actually go down to 1,6GHz or there abouts to conserve energy and reduce heat generation. Under light loads the Processor may run anywhere in between the minimum and maximum defined Intel clock frequencies.
If you were to increase your CPU multiplier to say 40 and leave everything else alone, then the maximum core clock applied will be 4,0GHz, but the PC will still reduce back to idle when there is no load. Give that a try and observe the behaviour. Download CPU-Z to monitor the voltages and frequencies.

MSI P67-A GD53 Triple Power Cycle

Hi all,
1st of all let me introduce myself, my name is Damien and I have been a PC enthusiast ever since I built my 1st PC when I was 10 years old (15 years ago), I am a massive fan of the PC gaming scene etc and have always played games on my PC because it is so much better.
Now I have had a few issues over the past week or two with motherboard's and cpu's etc, and to give you a idea of how lucky I usually am with PCs this last week or two has been the worst time I have had with motherboard's and cpu's ever in my whole time of building PCs.
1st it was a motherboard that went bang, so was replaced then that replacement motherboard would not accept voltage changes and was trying to put 1.8v through my ram which was 1.5v max, then I replaced that board with another that blew up, so I then bought a new board and chip which turned out to be faulty again.
Now you may think I am going on but this will make sense in a minute, so I got fed up with buying faulty stuff so I went to a very good PC part's retailer in the UK called Scan Computer's, I have used them for quite a while now and spent a fortune in there.
Scan do pre overclocked bundle's where they overclock the CPU for you and test everything, so because of the trouble I have had I bought one which comes with a MSI P67-A GD53 motherboard but I have noticed some times when it boot's it will power up and then down and then up and down, again and then it will power up and boot in to window's.
My question is should it do this or not as I really don't want another faulty board.
Any help will greatly be received as I am now at wit's end with this PC.

My question is should it do this or not as I really don't want another faulty board.
It shouldn't do this, but having said that, it is not uncommon on the Sandy Bridge platform, experienced infrequently on boards from different manufacturers.
I would be reluctant to advise you to meddle with a complete build from Scan without discussing it with them first.
We can probably give you advice on a couple of things you can try, but I don't know what your warranty conditions are if you mess with the BIOS.
Maybe you want to save your current BIOS settings as a profile first, so that you can load it again.
Then do a CMOS clear for now and see if it behaves any differently. >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Please do provide your full system specs and what the current BIOS settings are, i.e. did you opt for a shop overclocked model ?>>Posting Guide<<

MSI P67-GD65 (B3) Did I make a bad choice? I'm building a new system!

After reading all the problems everyone seems to be having with boot problems and freezing, did I make a bad choice? Here's what I'm putting together when the parts arrive.
It's been a few years since I built my own rig, but every pc I've ever owned I built myself except my Dell XPS 630i (got a screaming deal).
MSI P67-GD65 (B3)
Intel i7-2600K unlocked and unleashed
CORSAIR high performance Vengeance memory module 8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHz 9-9-9-24, 1.5V
Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 6970 2GB GDDR5 PCI-E 1080P
Western Digital Caviar Black 1T Hard Drive
Dell XPS 630i Case and Delll 750W power supply (I know I shouldn't reuse this case)
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

"Dell XPS 630i Case~I know I shouldn't reuse this case"
Poor case for cooling with quad CPU and higher power consuming VGA card as you sure will end up with high temperature problems. It would be wise to get a better case.

MSI P67-GD65 running 4 DIMMS slots

Hello,
I have two kits of memory:
2x2Gb 1600 cl7 1.65v (that runs at 1.5v with same latencies 7-8-7-24)
2x4Gb 1600 cl9 1.5v (9-9-9-24)
Both kits are Gskill Ripjaws, I have already tried lots of things without any success so far, (relax timings to high values, increase voltage, tried link/unlink, swapped kits from black to blue), I cannot boot with RAM set to 9-9-9-24 (whether 1 or 2T) and 1600Mhz, the only way is to disable XMP and let memory speed to auto.
And so memory is recognized and runs in Windows at around 1310Mhz~1315Mhz with timings 7-7-7-20 (values chosen by me since I cannot use higher speeds).
In case I set memory speed to manual, whether its 1333Mhz or other values I get three long bips and I am unable to boot.
CPU Core i7 2600K

DIMM3:2Gb
Thanks for your kind help.

Thanks for your help Jack, this explains my issue.
I am still used to SDRAM, I mixed different sizes, brands, single and dual sided, even speeds, it always run without problems.
I need to get used.
Quote from: Henry on 15-November-11, 14:47:34
And the fact that they are the troublesome Ripjaws to begin with. Mixing one type of troublesome Ripjaws with another type of troublesome Ripjaws and you end up with double trouble.
I see, despite of the fact Ripjaws are mentioned as compatible, I should avoid them as they mean trouble.
RIP Ripjaws
What brand would you recommend?

MSI P67 GD65 Boot Beep change after bios flash 1H & 1I

Good evening.
First of all my pc specs:
- Msi P67 GD65 B3 Revision
- i5 2500K
- 2 * 4 gb DDR 3 G.Skill Ripjaws XF3 1600 mhz
- Sapphire HD 4870
- Ocz Vertex II 60 Gb (windows 7)
- Western Digital Blue Caviar 1 tb (storage)
Today I flashed the bios using a bootable pen drive.
Previously I had the 1.9 version and all went perfectly fine. The booting sequence was : 1 short beep, short beeps counting my usb devices and 1 final short high tonality beep.
Now I updated to version 1.I and the beep sequence changed completely: now I have 1 long low tonality beep, short beeps counting my usb devices and no final short high tonality beep . Also it takes some more seconds than version 1.9 before making the beeps!
I tried also versione 1.H (which I have in this very moment) and I experienced the same faulty beep sequence
I also tried to clear c-mos and load optimized defaults but I still have the same beep sequence in both cases.
What shall I do?
Please notice I never changed memory or cpu settings (no overclock at all)

Quote
They say do not care about the beeps if the PC could work normally.
Same thing I already told you...
Forgot about those stupid beeps. As long as the system starts & boots fine, they are not critical error signals to begin with but status signs, that tell you that some things are there.
Quote
What do they mean by "the new bios should fix some beep error" ? Which bios are the talking about? Maybe the upcoming 1 L version which is going to be released in future?
What they are telling you is that the beep sequence is not something to worry about. That the beeps "lie" so to speak and that you are looking for a meaning that is not there.
Quote
What beep sequence do you have with 1.C version compared to the two videos I posted ?
It does not matter. You are getting hung up on beeps even though the system is obviously running just fine. If the beeps are getting on your nerves, then unplug the speaker from the board and enjoy the silence.
This is a non-issue. Stop being paranoid.
