[MSI P67A-GD65]. Quick and dirty question: Is there a Windows 8 option?

Hello everyone,
I have a P67A-GD65(b3), with a Sapphire R9 280x with a GOP Bios. Windows 8.1 are installed in a gpt partition, the Windows Boot Manager is booting the machine. I have the latest beta bios installed (E7681.443).
My question is: Does this bios have the Windows 8 options (like fast/secure boot etc)?
I can't seem to be able to find them anywhere.
Are these options supported with another bios?
The bios is flashed using the forum tool, and all the relevant instructions (remove power, reset etc).
Thanks in advance.

hi hpstg, did u run good on windows 7 with latest bios for your mobo and your amd gpu ?
im having issues with my amd 7950 gpu...  with latest mobo bios beta....   i get intermitint crashes...
This has nothing to do with the OP's question.
As for his question, I do not see any win 8 features on that board. I may be wrong, but if there were, somewhere in the bios release notes you would see "Win 8 Support"

  • Msi p67a-gd65 mouse and keyboard freeze - blinking caps lock.

    As the title says, my mouse and keyboard suddenly froze while I was chatting on Skype and I noticed that my system was still running. In fact, my razer mouse light was also blinking. The caps lock had a sort of sequential blink, although I'm not sure.
    Anyway, I had to use the power button to shut down the system and everything seems normal again. Does anyone know what would cause this? Is it a software issue or due to my board?
    I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate.

    p67a-gd65 motherboard
    Intel i7 2600K
    2x MSI 6970 graphic cards
    Seasonic SS-850HT 850W PSU
    G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)
    ADATA S599 system hard drive

    This was the first time this sort of thing has happened. I did have to replace (RMA) my PSU once before due to a random shut down issue but that was resolved. I'm really curious as to why this would happen and I'm hoping it's a software issue and not something related to the USB ports on the board.

  • MSI P67A GD65 Multiplier and software problems

    Hi
    i just bought i5 2500k and Msi mb, it came with 1.4 bios version and the maximum multiplier that i could log into Windows was 44 even though the vcore adjustment didnt work properly
    maxing out at 1.224 (bios reading) no matter the voltage set manually, I updated to 1.7B4 and i was able to get into windows at 46x100 the downside of the new bios was the memory suddenly stopped working at 2133 10-11-11-30 1.65v even 12-12-12-30 would end up in oc failed message so i had to settle for 1866. Now i updated  to 1.8B5 and i can run my memory at 10-11-11-30 again no problem but
    maximum muliplier went down to 44... again  - theres no way to make system work with 45 or higher multiplier so basically  oc-wise 1.8B5 is like 1.4 with vcore adjustment working properly/pll fix - Plz p67 users need proper bios.
    Second problem is that Overcloking center crashes with 0xc0000005 code right after launching exe - first happened on my old XP SP3  so i installed fresh Win7 unfortunatelly its the same story.

    Ok now im mad i flashed back to 1.7B4 and guess what i cant choose any multiplier above 44! Whats weird is that although bios version says 1.7B4 its behaving exactly like 1.8B5
    Every time i changed some voltage option in bios V1.4 or V.1.7B4 the pc would power down and then power up, since 1.8B5 it would just reset. That and inability to go above x44 when just yesterday 
    i could go x46 (i didnt check more as i want to run my SB below 1.35vcore) makes me think my cpu is artificially locked and ability to go above x44 in 1.7B4 was just an accident that was
    corrected in 1.8B5 whch has some code inside that prevents (in case somebody wants to downgrade) to update data responsible for cpu oc.  Another example supporting that is that my cpu can
    boot up at 4.4 ghz@stock voltage (1.168 in bios) log into windows and run some tests , of course it would freeze and reset  randomly after some seconds or minutes but still... On the other hand changing the mulitplier  to 45 and vcore up to 1.4v doesnt even make HDD start spinning and load WIndows after the MSI logo screen vanishes, its just seems locked.     

  • 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).

  • 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.

    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 P67A-GD65 Turning on and off

    Hi ppl,
    Well, the thing is like this, I bought a new gaming rig (specs after this chit chat XD) and everytime I start the system it goes on and off (just 1 Power Phase led on when this happens), even when I plug the power cable off the cpu the system will try to start again for the last time. The system turned on just 1 time and let me flashed the BIOS to v.1.7, after that I could start windows 7 without problems then rebooted to make sure everything was ok and everything went crazy again as stated before.
    My specs are:
    Intel 2600K @stock setting (how couldnt be at stock settings if cant ( ) start my system)
    MSI P67A-GD65
    Kingwin LZ 1000W (already tested on my cousin PC)
    2x4Gb G-SKILL @ Stock Settings (already tried using a single module on all off the slots)
    CoolerMaster V6GT Cooler
    2x320GB Western Digital 6 Gb/s
    CoolerMaster Cosmos S Case (already tried to turn the system on outside of the case)
    Well this is it, hope I can get some help.
    Thanks.

  • Cooler and RAM for the MSI P67A GD65?

    I am thinking about getting the Thermaltake Frio for the MSI P67A GD65 board.
    The ram i am thinking about is = G.Skill RipJawX 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz.
    Does anyone have the above components?
    Does the cooler clear the ram?
    Can anyone recommend some Ram and /or Cooler if the G.Skill is not suitable.
    Cheers guys.

    That Depends on how you set up the heatsink.
    I happen to have this exact heatsink, but not the same RAM, I have Corsair. In order for me to use the heatsink, I had to put the fan at the rear of the motherboard (where the rear exhaust fan is) and not use the extra fan that came with it because it would block the RAM slots closest to the CPU. This caused me to switch the exhaust fan to an intake fan, which isn't a huge deal if you have top exhaust fans(i do). Be aware that if you have a sidefan/funnel/whatever over your cpu, you'll need to remove it as this heatsink stands a whopping 6.5(give or take .01in) inches tall.

  • Serious gaming Question about MSI P67A-GD65

    I really need to know for a fact, I mean really need to know.   I play on getting 2 6990's and put them in CrossfireX.  The thing is I see this board is 2 PCI E 16x but I see PCI E (16x, 8x).  Does that mean the 2nd PCI E slot is running only at 8x?  The sole purpose of having 2 6990s is to max out performance for the whole year.  I see the 5970x2 lasted a whole year and is still faster than the 580GTX.  I want to have 2 6990s to have superior FPS status for the whole year of 2011.  Now if it's only 16x lanes for the top slot but 8x lanes for the last slot then will I see a performance loss of potential than if it was 16x on the bottom too?
    MSI P67A-GD65 for 2 ATI 6990's in CrossfireX
    If it's only 8x on the bottom then I cannot upgrade to a 2nd card.  I see bench performance differences of 8x vs 16x with the latest cards of the day were massive.  I can see how the cards of today would be even more massive.

    Quote from: bobkn on 25-January-11, 11:04:00
    The Maximus IV includes an nVidia NF200 PCI-E controller. Regular P67 boards only have 16 total lanes for graphics.
    One thing I'm not clear on: the data rate with PCI-E on the P67 is supposed to be double that of the older chipsets. Naively, the data rate on a P67's X8 graphics bus ought to be the same as for one of the older X16s.
    A pair of 6990s? Maybe you should have waited for Socket 2011. 40 PCI-E lanes, quad channel memory, 8 core CPUs, etc.
    Perhaps the reason why they only have dual 8x and triple 8x not dual 16x or triple 16x.  I think the NF200 chip is just a to make it look more expensive.
    The last post in this forum the guy says it decreases performance.
    http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=237334
    It adds more latency.  I had an EVGA Killer Xeno Pro which is a hardware NIC for the PC.  When I do head to head headshots on my screen in TF2 against another sniper it shows fire on my barrel but no kill or damage on the shooter after I die.  Even with a ping of 20ms and the other guy had like equal or more.  When I removed and sold it, everytime I see a flash on my screen and I'm lined up properly for the headshot with someone with equal or a bit more ping than me I always get the kill or at least damage before I die.  I honestly thing adding more things was like the P4 architecture having long pipelines.  The longer it takes data to travel the slower it will be and could be significant in performance loss.  I'm going to have 2 ATI 6990's on my MSI board and see what will happen.

  • MSI P67A-GD65 killed my USB drives

    I recently bought MSI P67A-GD65 and I am having a weird problem: I plugged my seagate usb drive and corsair voyager gt usb flash memory stick into usb 3 port on the motherboard and the stopped working (memory stick is dead and smells burned) and the drive is not recognized as proper usb device anymore - result both of them dead. As I recently used these usb devices only with my computer and a old laptop it looks pretty bad for msi motherboard.
    I have a power adapter with shortcut safety and a descent PSU chieftech GPS 650GB, I do not overclock, when I upgraded my PC I replaced motherboard, cpu, memory and graphic card the other components are the same (PSU etc) and I never had the same problem before
    No the questions:
    1. Did anyone else have the same problem?
    2. How can I diagnose it, I am going to replace my usb drives, but how can I be sure I can use them with my PC?
    3. If it is a msi's fault how can I get reimbursted for my damaged property?

     Why don't you provide the information asked for? So far all you have provided is model of motherboard and other information is so vague it's just about useless.
     Again read the >> Posting Guide << and provide required information.

  • Turbo multiplier MSI P67A-GD65

    Dear users of the MSI forum. I hope this question hasn't been asked before, I did search but found nothing.
    Is it possible to adjust the so called "Turbo Multiplier" on the MSI P67A-GD65 motherboard in combination with the i7 2600k processor? For example: lets just say I want the standard 3.4GHz - 3.8 GHz turbo boost set to, shall we say, 4.0GHz - 4.5Ghz? Is this possible on this board? I have only seen this feature on Gigabyte and Asus motherboards, unfortunately not with MSI.
    If the MSI motherboard doesn't have this function, do you miss it?

  • Msi p67a gd65 with p67a gd80 beta bios

    hi to everyone here,
    i have purchased a pc and have a msi p67a gd65 mobo
    i noticed that on the actual mobo it clearly states its a p67a gd65 i have verified this , its defnately a gd65
    how ever, cpu z detects it as a p67a gd80, also command centre detects a p67a gd80, bios version is : P67A GD80 10.3b2
    so my mobo has a gd80 beta bios...
    i do not know how it came about as im not owner from new
     question 1 : all i need help with is flashing back to gd65 bios (bios  1.19 ]  , do i need to do a blind flash to force update ? and how do i do it ? because its gd65 not gd80
    question 2 : and also how do i check if both bios chips were flashed to this beta bios ?
    question 3 : do i flash both bios chips when i do the bios flash ?
    question 4 : how do i switch between the 2 bios chips ?
    sorry for all the questions, the main question is question 1
    thnx guys

    In my experience, for a 2700k, UEFI/BIOS v1.H proved to be the very best one.
     I would go ahead and use what P D says there, he did a lot of testing on his many builds the past few years and knows more about it that most other people.
     What I had in my last reply was just the basic required info you needed to answer question about 2700K support after going through 1/2 dozen lists needed to find my info.

  • P67A-GD65(B3) and i5 2300 overclock = 3.3 GHz max ?

    Hi,
    I've just bought a SB mobo & CPU and try to figure out what can I do with it in terms of o/c. Just for my future reference.
    My CPU is i5 2300.
    Mobo is MSI P67A-GD65(B3).
    PSU is OCZ Z-Series 850W
    and cooler is CM Hyper 212 Plus.
    I don't touch BCLK so far and I don't touch OC Genie button and I won't touch it (got used to manual driving). As far as I know all SB do have TurboBoost *PLUS* 4-tick addition (or even more with less cores active). So armed with that knowledge I entered MSI UEFI setup and disabled all energy engines (except this max 1W European standby norm.. can't remember name at this moment, sorry), so turbo 3.1 + 4 ticks should be 3.5 GHz.
    http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/core-i5-2500-2400-2300_11.html
    And my problem is I can't reach it ;-) All I can get is 3.3 GHz (x33). CPU-Z shows me stable 3.3 with no falls to 1.6 (as energy managers are off). Even under full load (Prime95) it still shows 3.3, BTW interesting... Intel Turbo Boost Monitor shows raising bar upto 3.3 GHz under stress only, once Prime is disabled = bar falls down.
    Bios is the newest (1.E). Temps under full load are about 50 deg. All voltages are auto (except memory which is 1.5 V). It doesn't matter if I set x34 or x35 CPU multiplier both in UEFI setup, and using MSI Control Centre.. as always I've got 3.3 GHz (x33) shown by CPU-Z 1.58. VDrop setting is Auto.
    I'd promise once I've seen 3.4, but it was my first shot, rather for observing new cooler and temps.. and it was older BIOS.
    Is it everything what can i5-2300 give to me, or is it possible to get more (x35) somehow ? I will try BCLK later, now I'd like to find maximum multiplier.
    Thank you for any clues.

    Quote from: Henry on 27-July-11, 06:16:05
    Bottom line is if you want decent easy OC then get a 'K' series CPU. You're getting frustrated trying to OC a CPU that wasn't designed to OC to begin with. You're not going to get much of a performance increase from the piddly little bit of an OC on that 2300 anyway.
    Thanks for answer, but I know those facts very well as I am computer builder & troubleshooter
    I was just curious, and far away from frustration, how much is worth my new "baby", let me remind my first sentence:
    "I've just bought a SB mobo & CPU and try to figure out what can I do with it in terms of o/c. Just for my future reference."
    I don't know why people treat this as newbie stu*id question "OMG, mummy bought me this PC and my brother told me what o/c is and I want to make a rocket now"
    I always do such "recko" like maximum o/c after purchase, which allows me to build the future strategy for years, that's all
    BTW, I'm happy with it (so far) as it's noticeably faster, cooler and more energy efficient than Q9550 I have had before. And the whole platform doesn't make my soundcard having "cracked", so I'd say it's a fullness of happiness.

  • Problem with downgrading bios. MSI P67A-GD65 (B3).

    Hi!
    I'm having problems with downgrading my bios from version 4.3 to 1.19. I want to downgrade, because 4.3 doesn't want to boot when I use xmp settings for my RAM ( that might be related to my CPU since I have i5 2500k which is 32nm and 4.3 version of BIOS is recommended for 22nm processors ). When I try to flash with the MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing Tool I'm getting an error: "Rom file ROMID is not compatible with existing BIOS ROMID". I've ran out of ideas how to downgrade my bios so I'm asking you for help. My specs:

  • 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)

    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!
