Msi x79 a gd45 quad channel (16gb ram) memory fail

Hi,
I'm facing troubles running a quad channel on my x79 agd45 msi MoBo.
these are my components:
MoBo: x79 agd 45 Msi
CPU: I7 3820 3.6ghz
RAM Corsair vengance lp 16gb (4x4gb)
Video: Nvidia gtx 660ti
Cooler:Freezer-i30 artic
ssd: intel 120gb (520 series)
hdd: wd 2tb
Psu: corsair 650W
The Pc is working properly although I had to update the Bios in order solve the CPU/MoBo compatibility that made the PC reeboot every 5 seconds as soon as I tried to power the system on.
Now it is working on a Dual channel (8gb) but as soon as I try to install either a third or a fourth channel it doesn't allow me to even enter the BIOS. the motherboard led says "67" which means Late CPU initialization when I try to install the other 8gb of memory (16 total) to the third and fourth dimm.
I am 100% sure that my BIOS is updated to the latest version. As I have used the Msi Live update tool.
could the TEMPERATURE be the problem? as it is quite high ( 70°, I had to remove the thermal paste when I sent the cpu back for testing and now I'm waiting for the shop to send me more paste, it will take another day, meanwhile I'm using the Pc only for resolve this problem online )
what should I do? is there any setting I can adjust in order to resolve the problem?
Many thanks in advance.

Once all the problems are sorted out, delete this from your pc. It is a dangerous utility to allow to do flashes. Use the forum USB method;
>> Forum USB Flash Method <<
After a flash, it is recommended that a full battery removed CMOS clear should be performed. Once back in the BIOS, reset all settings as desired and then retest. If each RAM has been tested individually in the primary DIMM slot and they check out ok, place two sticks in, insert the third stick in DIMM 4, does it POST? Remove that stick and place it in DIMM 3, does it POST? If not in either 3 or 4, that is usually a classic sign that some CPU socket pin(s) are damaged or bent, or CPU cooler is not mounted evenly, or the mounting torque is wrong, or, there are errant standoffs underneath the mainboard causing the 3 and 4 DIMM slots to be shorted or grounded out.

kglad,
Thanks for the suggestion but I have attempted this many times to no avail. As I said in my original post, "I have researched this problem on this forum and the Adobe site and believe that I have tried everything over the past week."
It is very late here (I am in Greece). I will have a further attempt in the morning. The windows machine is hut down. Thanks for your help.

Need help: should I get 8gb or 16gb Ram memory?

Hi,
I'm about to purchase the new macbook pro retina.
I'm going for the standard 13inch model with 256gb ssd.
Standard there are 8gb of ram memory. But I wonder if I should upgrade to 16gb?
I study graphic and digital media. This mean Photoshop, illustrator, indesign Will Be frequently used. Sometimes all together.
Together with that iTunes and internet (many tabs) will be used.
So would I upgrade to 16gb?
I choose the 13 inch version because of mobility.
Any help is appreciated.

Have a look at this Macworld test from last May, especially the Photoshop test: http://www.macworld.com/article/2034655/lab-tested-the-ramifications-of-addition al-memory-on-a-mac.html
It might also be helpful to look at the AnandTech site, which has comprehensive reviews of the earlier versions of the computer you are considering and is likely to have a review of the latest MacBooks within a week or so: http://anandtech.com
While I understand your preference for the 13" form factor, the advantage of the quad core processor in the 15" is not insignificant. I assume that you will be able to use the 13" with an external display. If not, I think that you may find the 13" screen smaller than desired for the kind of work you have in mind.
Cheers

Msi x79 a gd45 update BIOS without CPU

Hi I just bought this MoBo but it doesn't support the I73820 cpu if not properly updated.
How can I update the BIOS without the CPu installed?
is it possible?
kind regards
Gio.

Just get it to a nearby MSI service center (if any) and get the BIOS updated.If not,then there must be some computer shop which can do it for you.
If you will go for RMA then you got to wait for some time.
My city has a MSI service center so most probably yours should too.

Need to use 16GB Ram for Rendering

Hello everyone, i have 2 x 3GB Quad Core 16GB RAM. i am trying to use my full memory or at least 10GB of memory for rendering in After Effects. Any help will be very much appreciated. Whenever i render it shows i am using 3GB of RAM (default), but i really need to use more RAM to have shorter rendering time. please help. thanks

Giuliana,
On Mac OS X, each AE process can use 3.0 GB of RAM. By turning on "Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously" in the Preferences (in CS3 or CS4) AE can start hidden copies of itself to use more processors to render more than one frame at a time.
Each such hidden process can use 3 GB, so with 10 GB of RAM I'd recommend you use only 3 processors. In CS4 you can tell AE only to use 3 processors, in CS3 you have to edit a text file, as outlined here:
ihttp://generalspecialist.com/2007/02/troubleshooting-after-effects-7.asp
When all 8 cores try to render a complex or memory intensive composition with Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously, the application can become memory starved if each process has insufficient memory. If you have less than 2 GB of available RAM per CPU core, your hard drive will be used as temporary RAM which is at least 100 times slower than real RAM.
To remedy this, there is a text preference in the preference file to control the maximum number of cores that Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously will use.
Open the text preference file and look in the ["MP"] section for:
i "MaxNumberOfProcesses" = "0"
"0" is the default setting, which means that all available CPU cores will be used. Calculate how much RAM you have available for After Effects (don't count the RAM used by your operating system.) If you have 8 cores and 8 GB of free RAM, change the setting to "4" so that 4 CPU cores will be used and so they will each receive 2 GB of RAM.
Save the preference file and restart After Effects.
You can find the preference file Adobe After Effects 8.0 Prefs.txt in the directory (on Windows):
i C:\Documents and Settings\XXXYOUR_LOGIN_NAMEXXX\Application Data\Adobe\After Effects\8.0
...or for OS X:
i Users/XXXYOUR_LOGIN_NAMEXXX/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/8.0/

MSI X79-GD45 & Corsair Quad Channel memory kit = big problems

Hi
I have bought the Corsair 16GB Quad Channel kit (CML16GX3M4X1600C8)
& a MSI X79 motherboard with the latest BIOS-version
When I try to enable Intel X.M.P, my computer keeps restarting
and doesn't even make it to the bios post.
Same thing happens if i try to set the ram to 1600mhz manually,
it just doesn't post & sets the ram to 1333mhz
Even bumping up the voltages to 1.6v doesn't help
I have tried everything, the ram works at 1333mhz but as soon
as i try to use the default settings this ram is rated at..
It goes haywire..
Help would be much appreciated :(

can i find a beta-bios for my motherboard anywhere ?
Some UEFI/BIOS versions cover more than one mainboard model. I don't know if that is the case with your particular mainboard, or if it has it's own release series. Best answer is to contact MSI Tech Support and ask them for the latest.
http://support.msi.com
A full CMOS clearing after a flash ensures no remnants of anything are left.

It worked until i powered off & on again
If you have available another brand of a stick of DDR3 to test with, recommend to try with it. Just place a single stick in the system in the primary dimm slot.

MSI x79-GD65 (8d) RAM issue.

I've just recently bought a new pc. Put it together this week aswell, everything works fine except for the fact that my RAM is not capable of running quad channel. The problem is (as far as I've been able to diagnose it) that the slots to the right of the cpu, that's dimm slots 5-8, aren't working.
After installing all the parts and installing the memory in slots 1, 3, 5 and 7 (the black ones), I noticed that Windows only saw 8GB of ram rather than the full 16GB. I went into my BIOS (not clickbios but startup bios as that allows you to view Memory-Z) and found that it only detected the Ram in slots 1 and 3. I turned off the pc and put the ram in slots 5 and 7 into slots 1 and 3 to check if the ram was faulty. They were detected fine.
I put all of them in again but still no more than 8GB got detected. I swapped all the memory into the blue slots (2, 4, 6, 8). After doing so the computer wouldn't post. I then tried to boot with different ram (2 sticks of 2GB DDR3 1333mhz Mushkin) in slot 1 and 5 (that is 1 one the left and one to the right of the cpu). Only the ram in slot 1 got detected.
I then put the Mushkin in the first two black dimms (1,3) and put all the corsair ram into the blue slots (2, 4, 6, 8). No more than 12GB got detected (which was slots 1-4, 2x2gb and 2x4gb). Memory-Z confirmed that none of the ram in slots 5-8 got detected.
As a desperate last measure I took out the Mushkin ram and put the Corsair ram into slots 1-4. All of the ram got detected but for obvious reasons it was only running dual channel.
I've read on this and other forums that sometimes the cpu socket pins can be bent and that can cause memory problems, I took apart the pc again and looked at the pins, but none of them were missing nor were any bent.
The question now is how can I get quad channel ram working?
system specs
Motherboard: MSI x79-GD65 (8D)
Bios: Version 1.7 (latest version)
VGA: Gigabyte 670GTX OC
PSU: Corsair Enthusiast TX750M (750 Watt)
CPU: Intel Core i7-3820 (stock speed)
MEM: Corsair Vengeance CMZ16GX3M4X1600C9 (4 sticks of 4gb)
HDD: Corsair Force 3 240GB SSD.
+ 2xSamsung F3 1TB in raid 0, all on the Intel chip.
COOLER: Corsair H100
OS: Windows 7 64bit Ultimate

For quad channle you must populate DIMM1, DIMM3, DIMM5, DIMM7 or all slots if using 8 sticks. Populating slots 1-4 has to result in dual channel.
If 1, 3, 5 and 7 won't work there's some different problem that still would indicate bent pin(s).

MSI X79 GD45 Plus Reboot Problem

Hi guys, I am having problems with my MSI X79 GD45 Plus motherboard. Everytime I restart my pc from windows, my motherboard or pc goes off and on again. Unlike the normal restart wherein it just well..restarts.. without going off.
I've tried to switch the ram positions, and yes I've tested all positions, still doesn't work.
I've also updated my bios. Still doesn't fix the problem.
Help me please

13'' dual-core with 16gb ram vs 15'' quad-core 8gb ram -- ram vs cores?

Hello. I am at a point between choosing a 13'' dual-core i5 with 16gb ram vs the 15'' quad-core with 8gb ram - both retinas.
I will be using photoshop and illustrator while uploading/downloading large files constantly. After much headscratching I almost decided on the 13'' i5 because from my experience, RAM limitations is where I usually run into problems, and don't see the extra price of i7 worth it when it is still a dual-core. For the same price I can get a 15'' quad, but will be stuck with 8gb ram.
I don't care about the screen size, I have good eyes and the weigth trade-off makes this a non-issue.
I'm thinking about down the road, as either of these I'm sure will be fine solutions. I'm just wondering where does the edge really come in this case? Ram or processor / cores?
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply tjk, of course with 16gb on the 15'' for $200 more I'd have easier time, but in this case I am comparing a refurbished - the lowest 15'' 16gb I could find would cost $500 more, I just can't do it.
I should make clear that this particular comparison between 13''w/16 and 15''w/8, they are the same price (the 13 being new) - which is why I'm stuck.
To rephrase - for the same price - which will I regret less in 4 years?
As a side note, I can't believe I'm even thinking about paying this much money for something that is not upgradeable, but that's another discussion entirely.

MSI X79 GD45 Plus supports Vt-d on IVB-E?

Hi!
Does the MSI X79 GD45 Plus total supports Vt-d on IVB-E => 4930k
The manual only say:
Quote
This item is used to enable/disable the Intel VT-D technology. For further information
please refer to Intel’s official website.
I can find any info on the MSI web or internet
Thanks

VT-d is dependent on whether it is supported by the processor. This you always need to check on the Intel specsheet.
The i7-4930K does support VT-d. See here http://ark.intel.com/products/77780
The board supports the processor with the latest BIOS, thus there shouldn't be a problem.

MSI X99 Sli Plus can't boot Quad Channel

Hello,
some days ago i bought my new x99 Sli Plus.
I installed everything, right now it's running with a 5820k and 2x4 Gskill 2400 Mhz ddr4.
The main problem is that the system can boot only with 2x4 Block in the DIMM 1 and DIMM 5 position.
If i try to use all my DDR4 modules ( actually 4x4) the system wont boot.
I put in triple channel (3x4GB ) in DIMM 1-3-5 and in quad channel (4x4GB) in DIMM 1-3-5-7
No Signal and no boot image.
I've tried some Corsair DDR4 running at 2666.
Same problem.
It only boots in dual channel on DIMM1 and 5.
that's how i insert the modules.
Thanks for the reply.

Hi,
Is my understanding towards your post correct: your system boots only in Dual Channel, but also only when using slots 1&5?
Try each slot individually with only 1 RAM stick.
Check around the CPU socket and RAM DIMMs looking for any colour changes, smell, scratches or anything like that. If you find nothing, then my last suggestion is you check the CPU socket looking for bent pins (make sure to use magnifying glass and bright light).
As additional,possible, solution:
There was someone with pretty similar issue. From my understanding, what they did is that for every time they've inserted a SINGLE stick, they went to BIOS settings, saved and shut down to insert another one (saved just to make sure BIOS/motherboard recognised the RAM stick inserted).
So my suggestion for now is:
Go to BIOS as with 2 sticks.
Manually change timings to: 15-15-15-35, 1.2V (check box of the RAM to make sure what they are, but according to GSkill that's timings used for 2400MHz DDR4)
Save and Shut Down.
Insert 1 stick (to appropriate slot). Try to boot.
If boots, go into BIOS, check that timings remained unchanged, save and shut down. Do the same for 4th stick.
If you find nothing, and nothing works, I suggest you contact the seller.

21.5" Imac with 2.8ghz Quad-Core i7, 16gb ram and 2 TB hd to use for professional audio recording with Logic 9?

Does anyone have any experience with this exact conifguration? I would like to purchase this and use it for 5-10 years of solid audio production. Any shortcomings?

Ok. So I now I found a local seller who is selling a 2008 Mac Pro. Does anyone want to advice which would be the smarter route to go. This is used, but they are guaranteeing that it is in incredible shape. It's a bit old:
This is a gently used, mechanically sound and tech tested Apple Mac Pro. I am only selling due to our business upgrading, otherwise I love this machine, and would not be selling it. It comes fully loaded (both hardware and software), and is ready for the most robust tasks.
Included with the Mac Pro is 2 brand-new sealed 20.5" Lenovo LCD monitors, Apple Magic Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard. Currently, the Mac Pro is setup for dual monitors on the 512mb NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT video card.
The memory on the Mac Pro has been upgraded to 16GB and an Apple OEM 256 GB Toshiba Solid State Drive (SSD) has been added to increase boot up speeds to mere seconds. The SSD can be configured to run either OS X Lion or Snow Leopard and will also house all of the applications. The combination of 16GB RAM and the applications residing on the SSD enables this machine to perform at amazing speeds. It can seamlessly render video and run other ram intensive applications with ease, making this a perfect addition to anyone's video editing studio.
In addition to the 256 SSD, the Mac Pro has a total of 4 TB of storage space with two separate 2 TB hard drives for storing massive amounts of data. (2 open bays if you wish to add more storage).
LOADED SOFTWARE:
MS Office 2011 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Communicator
Adobe CS5 Mastersuite (Photoshop, Encore, Flash, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, FireWorks, Catalyst, Contribute, After Effects, Bridge, and much more!)
Final Cut Pro 7
iLife 2011
Aperture 3
Adobe Acrobat X (PDF Editor)
All applications have been freshly reinstalled with their appropriate activation keys. The machine comes ready to go with no administrative password for either operating system (Lion or Snow Leopard).
Thanks for looking and if you have any questions feel free to ask! This Mac Pro comes with a 30 day warranty against DOA. Buy with confidence.
If you like the machine, I have a little room to work on the price if you do not want the SSD. Otherwise price is FIRM. This machine is a powerhouse!

MSI X79-GD65(8D) gives a posting error 63 Late CPU Initialize

Hey Guys.
I have recently purchased new hardware.
MSI X79-GD65(8D) Motherboard
Intel i7 3820 CPU
4 X Corsair Vengeance 4GB DDR3-1600 RAM
MSI GTX660Ti Power edition GPU
Corsair 750W Professional series PSU
Corsair H80 CPU Cooler
I haven't overclocked ht e mobo, but on cold boot, the mobo doesn't initialize, gives a post error 63, refered to the mobo manual, it says it means late CPU initialize. Checked the BIOS, running version 1.7 and according to MSI download site for the CPU support list.
The memory is in quad channel as it shows in a diagram in the mobo manual. If I switch the pc off, and back on, it initializes and boots, the pc runs stable, it can run 48 hours no hassle, passes burn in tests to, just the first cold boot doesn't initialize.
Any ideas for what to look at would be great.
Thank you.

A little hint for you: Don't try any of the .1B betas as they run horrible. I had to remove the latest .1B3 as it bricked the board and had to be recovered.
1.18 B7 is still the best bios to use:
Quote from: flobelix on 17-November-12, 00:49:07
I'd suggest the later Bios 1.18 B7 which I'm also using with the i7-3820 (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=154186.msg1192427#msg1192427)

H61MA-E35 system freezes randomly with 16GB RAM

Hi folks,
I think I'm having a problem with this H61MA-E35 motherboard.
I have the following specs:
- Intel Core i5 3450
- Corsair Vengeance 16GB (PC3-12800, 1600 Mhz) (2x8GB)
- Antec VP Power 450 watt
- ATI Radeon HD 5670
The problem is that the system randomly freezes in Win7 64bits. Sometimes just quickly after boot, otherwise after 1 hour or even longer.
First I thought it was the graphic card, but when I used Intel i5's internal graphic device, the same freezing problem occured.
Second, I thought it was the memory causing the problem. However, I tested the memory in memtest 86+ (6 passes). When I test each memory stick seperate, then no freezes occur. I also tested cheap Transcend 2GB memory, without problems as well.
Is there something known about issues of the H61MA-E35 and the max. amount of allowed RAM (16GB)?

Thanks for the quick respond!
I think 1600 was supported after one of the BIOS updates (http://nl.msi.com/product/mb/H61MA-E35--B3-.html#/?div=BIOS).
- Improved memory compatibility.
The BIOS settings weren't configured by me, but by a friend. Here are the BIOS screens, which values should I edit?
Possible DRAM Frequency includes auto, 800, 1066, 1333, 1400 and 1600.
Should I set them to 1333?
These values were apparently set as well. Should I set them back to auto?
EDIT:
- Unfortunately I have no extra pair of memory to test.
- Is a CMOS clearing method better than just changing these BIOS settings?
EDIT 2:
This is the RAM memory: http://www.corsair.com/en/memory-by-product-family/vengeance/vengeance-16gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cmz16gx3m2a1600c10.html

X79-gd65 (d8) overclock with 32gb ram?

Greetings,
I searched here for an answer, but didn't see one. I did notice one user doing a test with eight dual-channel sticks of RAM, though.
I bought this motherboard for a 3960X, and populated it with two quad-channel G-Skill RipJaws 2133 MHz kits (4x4gb). I had read on other forums that I needed to enable the XMP for this memory to work at 2133 MHz, but the computer doesn't seem to want to do this with Profile 1 selected. I haven't even tried Profile 2, thinking this probably has something to do with using 8 sticks of RAM vs. 4. I also have not changed any voltages - I thought the XMP would take care of all of that.
Does anyone know if I can use the memory at 2133 using this setup? I also want to overclock the processor, but figured I'd start with the memory and move on after that was working.
Thanks,
DrDet

Excerpt from G.Skill;
2. The default DIMM frequency depends on its SPD, which is the standard way of accessing information from a memory module. Under the default state, some memory modules for overclocking may operate at a lower frequency than the vendor-marked value.
3. G.SKILL guarantees module compatibility within this specific Quad Channel kit. Combining with other memory kit or module(even with same part number) is not recommended to avoid any compatibility issue.
Mixing two kits can be problematic right at the start. The other, the platform's CPU IMC natively supports 1600 at 1.50v's + or - 0.075v's. Since the exact part number is not listed, going by the G.Skill information for 2133 rated RAM, the very lowest DRAM V. required was 1.6v's, with most kits requiring 1.65v's. Also, your OS is not stated. Some of these kits also have a disclaimer they will only work up to 16GB with W7 Home Edition.
I wish you luck with the RAM you have, but I would recommend as possible better choices Corsair's 32GB matched kits. Currently 4 kits available, two of them 1600 rated, two of them 1866 rated, all four kits are 1.50v's. I have run the 1866 rated 32GB kit successfully on only 1.50's. At the moment, due to the restriction of a CPU cooler, I am restricted to low profile RAM only. Using the Corsair Low Profile, Low Voltage 1600 rated Vengeance (white) 1.35v, 4X2X4GB kits from the same production batch, although this is also a risky practice, as Corsair recommends against mixing kits as well.
As a side note. The CPU V. industry recommendation for everyday use is up to 1.35v's. Intel listed absolute max is 1.400v's which is considerably lower than it's Sandy Bridge cousins that have an industry recommended everyday max of up to 1.400v's. Mine runs at 4747 on Auto V. which sets 1.352v's at load, all power saving features are enabled allowing idle & low use at 12X & hovers around 0.780-0.816v range.
