MSI P67A GD65 System Freezes while Gaming
hey
i m facing system hangs/freezes while gaming. it is all along working fine but suddenly problem arrises outta nowhere. mostly happens in Metro Last Light Game. i did change multiple things like 2 different rams stick, Bios are 4.1v (at default), i tried 2 different GPUs like 290 and 580 but stilll facing same issue. dont know why.
if you can help on it this, it would be alot appreciated.
m PC
MSI p67a GD65
I5 2500K
8GB RAM
800w PSU
What is the actual power supply?
Follow this >>Posting Guide<<
Make sure you run latest BIOS.
PS: Intel ME driver is crucial, without it system won't work properly, and that's why it didn't freeze anymore. Same applies to GPUs: if you have 400W power supply and want to run 2-way SLI, it will be fine until you install drivers, which make the computer and graphic cards recognise how much power they have and so on

P67a-GD65 System Freezes and Recovers During 3D gaming and Online Video
The Problem:
Temporary system freeze with audio stutter. The system recovers 30sec - 2min later.
Key presses made during freeze will execute after system recovers (ctrl+alt+delete for example)
Usually, but not always, I see an error message in the system tray and I do NOT experience bsod.
This happens seemingly at random from 3D accelerated applications, and web browsing. Games such as BF3 (moderate), WoW (seldom), Planetside 2 (frequently), Minecraft (seldom), Hawken (seldom), etc.
Also happens frequently in both Internet Explorer 9/10, Firefox, Chrome, and Steam store browser. Typically when watching steaming video (youtube, HULU, flow player, etc)
but Pandora audio streaming also seems to create the conditions where this happens.
Error Message:
"Display driver stopped responding and has recovered
Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernal Mode Driver 314.07 stopped
responding and has successfully recovered"
The problem also shows up in the Windows reliability history with the following data:

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 with all updates
Case/Cooling: Silverstone Raven 2E with Thermalright silver arrow cpu heatsink
What I've tried:
Updated all motherboard drivers and bios (4.3) to current versions (no improvement)
Updated display drivers (in safe mode with driver sweeper. No improvement)
Updated Realtek Audio drivers for onboard sound (no improvement)
Updated Intel Rapid Storage drivers (no improvment)
Cleared CMOS and tested system at default settings with no overlock (no improvement)
Flashed 6950 back to 6950 stock bios and removed overclock (no improvement)
Replaced old 6950 with new GTX 670 (problem still occurs in the same exact way)
Tried GPU in 2nd PCIe slot. No improvement.
Checked GPU Temps. GTX 670 fan profile in EVGA Precision X set to keep temp below 70 degrees Celcius. Card maxes at 60 degrees under heavy gaming load.
Complete reformat of raid array with fresh install of Windows (4 different times) Seemed to help for a few days, then freezes came back
Ran OCCT and Prime 95 Torture tests separately for a few hours at stock and OC settings. System stable with core temps of high 50's overclocked, and low 40's stock.
Ran Memtest86 for 10 hours with zero errors.
Used digital multimeter to test 12v rail on PSU. Noted solid 12v reported. Didn't test other rails.
Unplugged PSU cables from motherboard and reattached firmly
Ran HD Tune and Data Life Guard Tools for error checking on hard disks. Zero errors found.
Disabled Windows Aero (no improvement)
Updated Adobe Flash Player to latest setting (no improvement)
Removed Adobe Flash Player (no improvement)
Turned off Adobe Flash hardware acceleration (no improvement)
*EDIT: Forgot that I also adjusted Nvidia driver profiles for apps that have frozen to include power preference to max performance
All of my hardware with the exception of the new 670 was purchased and configured back in February of 2011. This problem first occured in BF3 multiplayer sometime in early 2012,
and has gradually been happening more frequently. Web searches found many individuals with this error, but the solutions are all over the map, and I've tried just about everything that I've found.
I think I've narrowed the problem down to the motherboard, but I just can't find a clear answer or solution. Maybe it's the raid array? I really thought replacing the GPU would solve my trouble here
and I was...NOT happy when it happened again with the new 670 that I scored for $250 after amazon gift cards. I typically get kicked/disconnected during online game play when this happens and I'm ready to be done with it. I was hoping to fix the issue without needing to buy new hardware, but I don't see any other way at this point.
My patience runs thin. Please help!Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 11-March-13, 15:28:36
Might want to ask for the special archive to return the mainboard to pre-Ivy support UEFI/BIOS and then test again with everything set to auto/stock/default.
Already tested that before updating to 4.3. I started having the problem on 1.8, then 1.J0, then 4.3.

Just a shot in the dark.
The length of time that your CPU has been running at the OC could have accelerated the eventual degradation.
Have you tested your CPU in another board or do you have access to a "known good" CPU to test in your system ?
I do not have another 1155 lga board to test the cpu in unfortunately, hence the CPU stress testing. Based upon previous experiences with multiple overclocked systems that I've run at much more aggressive overclocks, I don't believe I'm seeing a processor failure, though I can't rule out the possibility.
Quote from: xmad on 11-March-13, 23:26:01
Quite a few components can cause this.
Do you have a friend that could lend you a psu to test? A weak of failing PSU can often be the cause of something like this?
No I don't have another PSU to test. I did use a digital multimeter to test the 12v rail, as well as the motherboard contacts for testing voltage to the cpu and system They were all right in line with what I'm seeing reported in the bios. I did not test these contacts while the system was under load however, so I may need to do it again. -
MSI p67a-GD65 system randomly shutsdown
I'm completely heartbroken about my new build. Everything was running solid for about a month now and I have just started to experience random shutdowns. According to my BIOS, my 2600K is running at stock at around 55 C. I performed a stress test last night using prime95 and the system shut down as well, although speedfan and HWMonitor both only showed an increase from 40-50C to 60-70C. After it shuts down, the system is completely unresponsive and will not start back up until I unplug the system or turn off the power supply, after which it suddenly will start up again. In my opinion, that's an indicator of something as I thought it was completely dead.
I have NO idea what could possibly be causing this issue. It could be heat, it could be my power supply, it could be my motherboard. How do I narrow this down?
Here's my build:
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)
ADATA S599 AS599S-64GM-C 2.5" 64GB
Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz
Seasonic SS-850HT 850W ATX12V v2.31,EPS12V
2x MSI R6970-2PM2D2GD5 Radeon HD 6970 2GB
MSI P67A-GD65 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel P67
COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 PlusQuote
One video card should be at around 200W - 210 W, so 400W for video cards.
Make that 250W per card + 100 W for the processor, about 50A @12V.

I do have a 750W power supply.
You mentioned other figures in your component overview:

Seasonic SS-850HT 850W ATX12V v2.31,EPS12V
So, what kind of PSU do you have?

Sounds like a PSU problem then. Use a different one and/or test with one video card only. -
MSI GS70 Stealth - Micro-freeze while gaming
Hello,
I just bought a new MSI GS70 Stealth laptop recently (about 2 month ago) and since the start I'm having some problem while gaming. When playing most games, for example League of Legends, Path of Exile and many more I have, now and then, a screen freeze that last about 1 second. My FPS stays the same, so does my ping. It happens not only after a while of gaming and I don't think it has something to do with overheat (I think).
That's for the problem, now I'll answer the few basic questions I know I'll probably be asked :
- My power plan is High performance
- I'm on windows 8.1 Update 1
- I am plugged in when this happens
- I updated Intel drivers and Nvidia drivers to the latest
That's about it, so if you need more information just tell me what and how to get it and I'll post it as soon as possible!
Thanks!I did three tests, one at rest, the other one after a freeze, and the last one before a freeze.
At rest :
Before a freeze :
After a freeze :
When the freeze happens, we can see that the last bar (Highest reported hard pagefault resolution time) goes from 55621 to 2361273... I guess we might have found something! -

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. -
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)
Thermaltake Black Widow W0319RU 850W ATX 12V PSU
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!Quote from: HU16E on 12-April-11, 11:26:00
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! -
HELP! My 2011 MSI P67A-GD65 (B3) build suddenly refuses to boot
Hello, I am new to this forum because I hadn't had any troubles yet.
I built my system in July/August 2011. Here's what it has:
MSI P67A-GD65 (B3)
Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge CPU
16GB Corsair Vengeance 240-pin DDR3 1600
650w Corsair Enthusiast PSU
MSI N460GTX Cyclone 1GD5/OC GeForce Graphics Card
1x 2TB Hitachi 7K3000 7200RPM SATA 6 GB/s (With Windows 7 64-bit installed)
2x 3TB Seagate 7200RPM SATA 6 GB/s (For storage)
I have used this computer for graphics and video editing...it has served me faithfully. Yesterday evening while editing a Word document, I got "do you want to save your changes before exiting?" and of course I said yes. Then to my surprise my computer proceeded to shut down and reboot. At first I thought maybe I missed a Windows Update message telling me it would reboot in xxx minutes so I was not alarmed. But then as I watched it reboot, it gave me the POST message that there was no disc drive recognized. I thought that was weird since I never noticed it before. But then after the BIOS screen with the MSI graphics thing I was faced with a blank screen except for a flashing cursor two inches from the top of the screen. When I realized that this wasn't going to leave, I got a bit worried so I did a reset through my tower's button and same thing happened...I unplugged everything and let it sit for a few minutes... restarted 10 minutes later....same thing. Did it again and then went into my BIOS to look around. It showed no HDD's connected and I had 3 hooked up. I was concerned my HDD went bad so I connected it to another pc and accessed it with no trouble as another storage...I was happy my files are all there. So then I reconnected to my original build and got the same POST message, but this time the drives were visible in BIOS....but still no boot.
I have another blank SATA HDD so I removed all my HDD's and connected it by itself along with my SATA DVD drive and I tried to do a clean Win7 install on it. But at the point in the install process where it asks WHERE you want to install Windows, no drives showed up. So that door was closed. I tried the same thing again after swapping SATA port locations, thinking 1 was defective, but I got the same treatment from all of them...nothing recognized during the install process, although the drives are showing up in BIOS....
I think I know why the POST message is saying 'no drives detected,' though...I read it is saying that based on the SATA ports being used...I have 8 SATA's on my MOBO...4 6gb/s; 4 3gb/s. 7-8 are 6gb/s and ONLY when I have a HDD plugged into one of them does it show on the POST screen...which I still think is weird, and seems to have just started happening last night with the rest of the problems...but I could live with that since I could disable the message in BIOS I think.
But I have tried to clear the CMOS...all three ways...jumper, button, battery. I reset BIOS thru BIOS.... Nothing changes. BTW, in BIOS I ran a RAM memory check and it passed. Besides, I am not hearing any weird beeps...related to that....
I don't know why this would happen after working perfectly for 2 years... And why would it politely shut down in the beginning of the process anyways? I mean...I appreciated being asked to save my changes...but I don't know what else to do...PLEASE OFFER SUGGESTIONS...any help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance...I hope someone can help me! I am still covered by warranty...but I want to do this right.
Thanks!
Marie
EDIT: BTW, I have also tried unplugging everything from the pc except for the DVI and power plug in case that was interferring....Quote
On a slightly different topic...would it work (I have never done this!) to take my OS HDD and boot it on another PC? I am thinking this would not work because of system files and etc., but I have always wondered this and now would be the best time for me to know
It mostly works if the components used aren't too special. As you have no RAID setup it should work. However you will need to reactivate Windows once it made it. Of course you will also need all drivers for the new machine. Be aware that you might not be able to connect to the internet before you installed the proper driver for the ethernet adapter. -
At times I'll get stuck at B4 or 98 error code for a good 5-15mins plus. I will either have to wait it out or press reset until it boot properly. Even when it gets passed this issue I still have to wait a while looking at the windows start up animation. I'm using a 2500k right now, my i920 system only displays the animation once before proceeding into windows.
The major issue is the B4/98 issue. I have tried a lot of things to no availability. If all else fails I will send this board back to Amazon and pick up an Asus or w/e.

Is the B4 error just a generic

98 = Console input devices connect

What other USB devices besides the "usb card header card reader" and the mentioned mouse/keyboard combination do you have connected to your system?
Can you please try without the card reader?

BIOS 4.3 half flashed on MSI P67A-GD65 reboot loop ME not installed
Hi, yesterday I tried to flash my bios from 1.19 (1.jo) to 4.3 and I followed the SOP guidelines. Made a flash fat32 got bios on it, started it, stopped all my applications under windows and it went with no error. PC Restarted and now it's in infinite reboot loop. The moment the MSI BIOS logo appears, the PC auto reboots.
If I remove the usb drive or replace the bios file with another version it tells me it's not the file it needs. When I insert the one with the .43 file it goes back to reboot cycle. I tried resetting the CMOS with the button on the mainboard and I have this screen telling me BIOS is 4.3 and it has recognized all my 12gb ram, 2 hard drives and processor. Then it has press F1 to enter setup and press F2 to continue, both options result in reboot.
I tried the 1.JO on flash, but it tells me again that it's the wrong file. Tried renaming it to amiboot as I found somewhere, but to no avail. Tried renaming the .43 to EIVB.bin as it was suggested in one forum, again no luck.

older non B3 versions ME can't be flashed,
therefor you will brick it if you attempt to do it via MSI's all in one updater..
you can try anyway to try with barabone setup with 1 memory stick only and disconnect everything that's not required to boot
and to try the USB key in any of the other USB ports
and/or with different USB key too
to see if ME update will able to continue
I wasn't sure about the ME update, read that someone managed. The Live Update 6 did my 1.19 (1.JO) update. I tried all usb slots and 3 different sticks, formated them and so on. Nothing worked. I tried disconnecting all hard drives and DVD drive too.
Is there a way to stop this cycle or to restore to the 1.19 version? -
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.

Hello,
I am having issues with my new system that i have built.
MSI P67a-gd65 (B3)
Corsair XMS3 1600
MSI Twin frozr GTX560 TI
Core i7 2600K
Windows 7 64 bit
My system will randomly lockup and i can't get it to work again unless i hard reset the machine. I have set the motherboard to optimized defaults and the memory is running at 1333. I also made sure my RAM timings and voltages were set to their defaults. I have not overclocked the system in any way. These lockups only occur when i am doing leisure things like surfing the web or checking my email. I can play any game i want for several hours on end without a lockup. I have updated my drivers from the MSI website and this also did not help.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
AnthonyQuote from: Ethylo on 30-March-11, 05:28:23
I had exact same issue with very close hardware ( only dif is 2500K instead of your 2600K, and B2 motherboard ) and after many test I finally found the solution by changing SPD memory from JEDEC4 to XMP-1600.
JEDEC4 was completely unstable , I got no BSOD but random freeze, especially when idling/low activity.
IMHO Corsair memories are definately not stable with JEDEC4.
Now 10 days with XMP SPD and fully stable !
Hello all,
I've been 24 hour crash free. I also setup my memory as listed above (thanks for that tip).
Thanks to everyone who replied with ideas. -
MSI P67A-GD65 hard drive light always lit
I built a new pc with this motherboard a few weeks ago and everything is great except for the hard drive light. It stays dim 100% of the time and does show hard drive activity so i know it's working. I switched the connector on the motherboard to see if it was a polarity issue, but then it doesn't work at all. I even used a different LED that wasn't connected to my case and removed all the other connectors (power, reset, etc) and it still stayed dim. Lastly, i removed all the SATA cables from the motherboard, all fan connectors with no luck. I would appreciate any information on this, and if it's normal or if something is wrong and i should RMA the board.
PS - Bios version is 1.9. I never updated it cause everything has been working as it should.Quote from: NovJoe on 30-May-11, 15:38:56
You should try the board out of the chassis. You may also want to try it in barebone conditions.
I tried that yesterday. Took it completely out of the case and left everything else off the board except for the ram and it still does it. Also used a separate LED to test that wasn't part of the case. In all the years i've worked on pc's, i've never seen this before. I guess at this point i'll have to live with it or buy another one and send this one back for RMA. I contacted MSI and they replied back with a suggestion to update the bios. This is going nowhere. While it probably won't actually hurt anything, i didn't spend $1500 on a new system to have problems with the motherboard.
Can someone help me test by using their MSI P67A-GD65 (B3) board? Disconnect JUST your power light from the motherboard to make sure no other light is interfering with the hard drive light, and see if it's still dimly lit at around 25% to 30% regardless if you're in the bios, or in windows.
Any help would be greatly appreciated at this point. -
Well I've tried every suggestion and supposed fix (ram timings, etc.) for the feezing up problem to no avail. I still get a total system freeze at least once a day which then requires a manual restart of the PC. Kind of sucks.
Even with everything set to stock unmolested config with no overclocking it still occurs.
Any other ideas?How is this a thread hijack? Did you have a bad day or something? All I did was comment that I was in the same boat and it seems like there's a LOT of people having this issue.
The topic is "Re: P67A-GD65 still freezing up"

"Well I've tried every suggestion and supposed fix (ram timings, etc.) for the feezing up problem to no avail. I still get a total system freeze at least once a day which then requires a manual restart of the PC. Kind of sucks.
Even with everything set to stock unmolested config with no overclocking it still occurs.
Any other ideas?"
I've done the exact same, and have the exact same issue. And YES, the bios is updated to 1.B...that's what the memory is qualified with.
I can see if someone was to jump in and say "hey, and my hard drive isn't connecting" or "My rig is constantly rebooting" which is completely off topic. That's a thread hijack.
Never seen a forum that asks people to post identical topics. From what I've read in other related posts it doesn't seem to be a problem with the RAM, and there's a ton of people who are posting on newegg who have similar problems with all different makes of RAM and they get the same "please email me at xxxx@msi to help with your issue." "and include your serial number".
That tells me that MSI has a crap manufacturing run out there but is too lame to admit it so people can check if they have a defective board themselves and get it replaced quickly. Instead customers have to waste their time spending hours or days trying to fix something that is likely a flaw in the hardware that MSI won'd admit to in the open. Been there, done that. I work for a hardware manufacturer and our lame PM's and executives do the same crap when there's a screw up on a large scale. But it doesn't mean it's right.
Quality RAM (especially RAM that's verified) should run with the auto settings. And since the same memory works fine in an ASUS board where I could actually run a memtest on it successfully, tells me that MSI's sweeping things under the rug given the amount of problems customers are experiencing which are either continual reboots or lockups with no errors in the Windows logs.
As for this "user forum", it's not a user forum, this is a helpdesk. What moderator decided that the format is "one user posts and others only post to help that one user"? Or is this the only support MSI offers it's customers?
Thanks for the great help though!

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.

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.

Contact MSI Tech Support by opening a ticket & ask them. This is a user to user forum, being as such, MSI will most likely never read your thread.
Thanks, I didn't realize that.
