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 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

Read the posting guide and list the components. >>Posting Guide<<
Although I have heard this before and it was solved via bios update: >>BIOSes<<

MSI X79-GD45 Plus - Intel X79

Hello i have an issue, i bought this motherboard and also graphic card MSI Nvidia 760GTX 2GD5/OC Gaming and i cant put it into the first PCi-E slot.... SATA slots blockin to match inside i make some photos.
can u please help me ?
I want buy another and get in into SLI but dunno how to get it in the first slot...

Well i solve the problem on other forum they get me advice. The screws on mainboard was too tight. After i permit them the graphic card slide into port and match with it.
So my problem is solved.

Should also ask if anyone you know around here in So. O.C. Can do the flash if needed

Flobelix, enough of this? Don't you dare speak to me like that! The fact your answers made no sense made me think there might be a language issue. It was not meant to be offensive. Nobody ever answered my other questions but keep saying contact MSI. I was looking for insight into the product not just a referral to MSI. Either way, I have contacted MSI again. They have flashed the bios and it still does not work. So back to square one. Now I have a refurb mb that does not work and cannot be returned to the store where it was purchased. Thanks for nothing.

MSI X79A-GD45 PLUS advices for sli , thanks

Hello I need some advice :
1) if i buy the MSI X79A-GD45 PLUS that has 3 pci-express can i populate the first and the third slot with graphic card in sli configuration in order to have better air circulation ? the slots are 16,16,8 but the third use the same bus of the second so i don't know if leaving the second solt empty the third will rise to 16x Can you give me some info Thanks
2) If the option above is not possible than cards that uses 2,5 slots of space like the gainward phantom will have enough space in sli with the first and second slot populated ? thanks in advance

In the website it says..
• 3 PCI Express gen3 x16 slots
- PCI_E1 & PCI_E4 support up to PCIE 3.0 x16 speed
- PCI_E6 supports up to PCIE 3.0 x 8 speed
you could populate PCI_E1 and PCI_E6 also according to the manual.. it will be 16/8

MSI X79A-GD45 Plus Odd USB problems...

I'm having some odd issues with my MSI X79A-GD45 Plus... The system overall works well, and other than these little nagging annoyances the machine works.
I'm looking for any other suggestions you all might have of this issue.
Every so often when I plug a device into the USB 3.0 ports the devices are not recognized. This ranges from flash drives to USB headsets. Rebooting the machine does not solve this. I have to shut down completely and cold boot to get the ports back up and running. It matters not if I use the front panel ports or the rear. All the while my keyboard and mouse which are in the rear USB 2.0 ports never fail to work.
I am going to plug the front panel into the USB 2.0 headers on the mainboard just to test and see if I get the same results, I'm thinking that should tell me weather or not the motherboard or the front panel is the culprit.
That aside any other suggestions would be very much appreciated.
One other thing and I am not sure if this is related to my issue... Most of the time when I boot the machine, the text for the POST messages are very large, like real zoomed in. If I go to the BIOS when this happens the BIOS is also way zoomed in and it is very slow/unresponsive. If I want to use the BIOS I have to restart the machine until I get the text normal looking, even then the BIOS seems kind of slow compared to my last MSI board (990FXA-GD80) which had this same type of click BIOS. This phenomena happened both with the BIOS the board came with and with the updated BIOS I installed to fix a sound issue.
Again not sure if that has anything to do with the USB thing but I wanted to put that here just in case the issues are related.

Try updating the NEC firmware:

MSI ramdisk MSI-X79A-GD45 plus motherboard

I have MSI-X79A-GD45 plus motherboard and i have 64GB of ddr3-1600mhz rams.
I want to boot windows 7 from ramdisk backup img using msi ramdisk. is it possible?
when the boot loader of windows loads the ramdisk?
I am designing a bootloader software for running windows on ramdisk.
My strategy is
I install my bootloader/disk enumerator to ssd or usb flash drive. disk enumerator shows old hdd and ssd drives.
i install 64bits w7 os on ssd
i install my usefull softwares to work(photoshop, maya etc)
i create a 36 GB sytem image file without compression. its name is readyos.vhd
i add an entry to my bootloader/disk enumerator when i power on my computer .
bootloader> load readyos.vhd,ramdisk(0);
boot;
it loads vhd image to ramdisk and sytem goes on.
when i restrart pc bootloader loads vhd and sytem runs but its frozen because i dont modify readyos.vhd file.
whats msi thinking about this idea?

You need to have WWindows running in order to use the RAMDisk application. You cannot start the RAMDisk first. You must start Windows first THEN load the RANDisk application.
AFAIK, it is not possible to do the opposite.

Msi x79a-gd45 plus and Dolby Digital Live

I bought a pair of Astro A50's to enjoy surround sound music and gaming. I have surround for music but with gaming you need Dolby Digital Live to get 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound with this headset. I have a msi x79a-gd45 plus, now does anyone know if DDL is compatible with my on-board sound card? Apparently you can download DDL for 5 dollars and I'd love to for the sake of surround gaming, but only if it actually works with my card.

Have you checked with the Realtek website for that application?

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.

A full CMOS clearing after a flash ensures no remnants of anything are left.

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 X79A-GD45 Plus - How to turn on Intel VT-x?

Hey there guys,
VMware is telling me that Intel VT-x is disabled but I can't for the life of me find the setting in the BIOS. This is what I get:
I am looking thru the manual but I have not had any luck... If someone could help me find this setting that would be most awesome.

Look in the BIOS OC section, CPU Features sub section. I don't have the Intel datasheet handy for the CPU you have, so I can't confirm what VT features it incorporates.
Added: With some boards, with a supported CPU of a specific feature, it may be enabled simply be default. If no applicable setting is found, that could be the situation.

X79-gd45 (8d) - Windows 7 Pro x64 installation questions

Hi,
I have a MSI X79-GD45(8D) board with i7-3930k processor that I am trying to install Win 7 x64 Pro on. I have a Sandisk Xtreme 240 SSD that I will be using as a system disk and 2X WD 1TB Black SATA 6GB/s (faex) drives that I will be using in a RAID 1 configuration for storing quickbooks and other data. This machine will run a quickbooks enterprise server serving 10 people
I want to get the installation right from the get go so that I can start testing it asap. Here are the steps that I will be taking to get this going. Could you folks comment on it so that I can modify it as needed. Thanks.
I have already installed the main board, 32GB RAM, Processor, fans etc and have setup the case. It does post without issues so far. Now for the installation, I have not partitioned the SSD (intend to make use of the full 240 GB) and leave the WD disks in a Raid 1 taking up the whole disk space (no partitions).
I am installing Win 7 x64 Pro on the SSD. Here I have several questions:
1. Do I set the SATA mode to RAID or should I just leave it at AHCI? I am assuming that this board recognizes drives in AHCI mode and installs Win 7. I ask this question because I will be using two WD SATA drives in Raid 1 for storing data later. Will the SATA mode be AHCI irrespective of that fact or should I change it to RAID after installing Win 7?
2. Should I install Intel RSTe iaAHCI or iaStorA (ver RSTe_Win7_8_64bit_3.5.0.1101_F6) with the F6 option for the setup I mentioned. I know the F6 installation in Win XP, but a little confused with Win 7. I ask this because, I have read some discussions of Intel drivers vs Microsoft's version for AHCI. Raid is confusing though. Please explain in detail if you can. Appreciated.
3 If I do F6 installation, do I install the AHCI/RAID drivers again after Win 7 is installed or does Windows properly load the F6 installation?
SSD, AHCI are all new to me with this build. I have tried to educate myself, but have some of the confusions that I listed above. Please explain how I can properly install it to the spec that I outlined above.
Your time, patience and help are all appreciated. Thanks

1.) IF you are going to be using the mainboads raid controller for the data drive. You need to set the mode to raid for the os install as well. Unless you are going to use the extra chipset for the SSD. (Ports 7 &8) You won't be able to enable raid later w/o re-installing the os.
2.) I put the os(Install) on a usb flash drive, I also include all of the drivers on this flash drive and load the newest versions even if it detects the drive right out of the gate.
3.)Once inside the OS, you would install the irst drivers there as well. (They are combined the raid bios / drivers and os drivers)
If this isn't going to be a very high I/o server, I probably wouln't bother with the SSD but since you have it you would just use it as a non-member drive of the raid. Have a fast drive for the os, isn't going to help the server all that much as most of the I/O will be on the data drive.
If this is going to be a heavily used server(high i/o) you may want to look at a raid 5 configuration for the os and data drives. As SSD's degrade over time and aren't really optimal for contant use like in a server. Raid 5 requires 3 drives minimum and is striping and mirroring so you get the best of both worlds.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels
However, the board based raid controller isn't really the best for this set up. I am fairly loyal to Adaptec Raid controllers although you need to contact Adaptec (or whoever) in regards to compatiblity as MSI doesn't test server compoents on thier desktop products.
This is the one I last used:

Although it is probably overkill in your situation.
Also, look into the SAS drives as opposed to the sata drives. (if you use a raid card)

X79A-GD45 Plus refuses manual voltage overclock?

Hello everyone, I registered over here to ask this question and see if anyone else is having the same issue.
I currently have an i7 3930k installed in my GD45 Plus, I bought the board for its reasonable price and 8-DIMM support. I was pretty happy with it until I discovered this "issue".
Leaving most settings on auto and using the Turbo+Vdroop method (C'mon MSI, would it kill you to add offset overclocking?), 87.5% Vdroop control and +250 on the core override voltage I am able to stress test for 30 minutes to an hour at 4.6ghz before crashing, the CPU is just at the very edge of stability. Load voltage settles around 1.364V with this setup, which is very very low for SB-E chip at that clock speed.
However, if I disable turbo and run a manual clock of 4600mhz things change. All power savings shut off, SA voltage at 1.300V, basically everything opened up as far as power limit/duration settings. It boots to windows fine, but immediately upon loading the CPU the system shuts off and reboots after a few seconds. I tried 4600 at 1.375V... then 1.400V... then 1.450V, all the way up to 1.550V and it has the same effect.
Then I wondered what it would do at stock, sure enough even at 3200mhz stock with a manual voltage the board shuts off immediately once the CPU is loaded up with Prime 95 or IBT.
I am using BIOS revision 17.3, and am about to attempt to downgrade to a previous version to see if that has any effect.
Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong with this thing? This is incredibly disappointing, as I had a very good experience with the X79MA-GD45 mATX board. What is even more disappointing is my garbage (literally the worst board I have ever owned, bar none) ECS X79R-AX Deluxe that doesn't even have a VRM heatsink and needs the BIOS jumper in the reset position to even boot will run the same exact CPU as I am using in the Plus at 4.8ghz all day every day. Really want to get this board working properly as I like everything else about it.
System specs, just in case:
-C2 Stepping i7 3930k w/H100i
-MSI X79A-GD45 Plus
-32GB G-skill DDR3 1600 CAS8
-2x MSI HD7950 TFIII
-Cooler Master V1000 PSU
-Samsung 830 128GB SSD
-Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

MSI X58's had it, and it now has a big time presence in the Z87 lineup.
I haven't tried the Z87 boards yet from MSI (Used several Gigabytes and Asus though) but I'm glad to hear they listened. That was what prompted me to get rid of my Z77 MPower, I had a 5.2ghz capable chip but I did not want to run it there 24/7.
Quote
For an everyday machine, industry recognized suggested limit for Sandy-E CPU is 1.350v's. Use the Turbo OC method on Auto CPU V., EIST and C1E enabled. Enhanced Turbo enabled, and VDroop at 100%. Internal PLL Overvolting set to enable. Might have to increase SA, I/O, and PLL V. some. Are the settings in CPU Features increased? Overspeed Protection disabled? Get what you can out of it and that is about all you can expect. G45's aren't known as good OC'ers like GD65(8D's) or Big Bang XPower II's!
I've gone through literally everything. This is not my first time doing this, and I know good overclocks are possible on a GD45 board as I've done it before with arguably the worst of the bunch. I'm not bugged about voltage, I prefer to stay under 1.500V if possible and would only push past that for quick bench runs.
Quote
Just asked an uncle what his 3930k C2 runs 46X Turbo OC, VDroop 100% at, and his under IBT will hit 1.384v's peak, and it is perfectly stable with 16GB RAM at 2400.
Don't recommend to go down too far to a UEFI/BIOS with ME 7 FW once ME 8 FW has been installed, or you may create all kinds of HECI mismatch problems. If no crashes or BSOD's, other than when stressing with Prime or IBT, no problems in everyday work, applications, or programs, use it and not sweat the small stuff.
I did some more experimenting, and I think the BIOS might be incorrectly reporting the voltage. I found that I can run 4400mhz at only 1.150V and 4600mhz at 1.200V, there is no way a 3930k with a 1.341V VID is overclocking by 1000+ mhz undervolted like that. It would make sense, if it was about 0.200V off then running 1.400V would actually be 1.600V and even with the power settings tweaked it would instantly shut down unless I was sub-zero, probably due to the VRM's hitting the 130* thermal protection. I can't think of any other reason it could be behaving like this.

X79A-GD45 Plus (NO POST. NO VIDEO)

Hello, everyone!
I have recently purchased a new MSI X79A-GD45 Plus "military class 3" motherboard, and can not seem to get it to post. Everything turns on. Fans spin. Pretty blue LEDs all over.. none of which appear to be warning or error lights. Nice whirring sound, then tick as hard disk powers on. However, there is no beep when I attach a speaker, and no display coming in over the monitor.
Does anything stand out about my setup that could cause some sort of weird behavior? I've double-tested the CPU and RAM as working in a friends machine running a board from another brand. I've also tried another known-working (450 watts) PSU and another known-working graphics card that doesn't require additional power from the PSU.
NZXT Source 530 full-size case
Corsair HX750 PSU
GSkill Ripjaws Z DDR3-2133 PC3-17000 2048MB x 4
Intel I7 3820 Sandy Bridge CPU
Enermax ETS 240 Heatsink/fan
Nvidia Gforce 450 OC
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK, I'm finally back with a report and some pictures.

The CPU 'is' supported with initial release BIOS for that model mainboard. I don't believe BIOS version is the problem.
If it's a multi +12V rail 450W PSU it can still be problematic. There may not be enough amps on the individual rails. If at all possible, locate a single rail +12V PSU to test with. 500W with around 30 or more +12v AMPS on it's rail.
Added: Are you sure the CPU ATX/EPS 8-pin power connection from the PSU to the mainboard is fully locking into place?
2nd Add: Will your Corsair PSU power up your friends or another system?
The other power supply I ended up trying to use the day of my last post was some random brand 550W that didn't have a proper hookup for the video card and may or may not have worked in the first place. So, that was ruled out.
Instead, my friend unhooked his even fancier Corsair and we plugged it to my setup with and without the additional molex for the video card slots. Same result.
I've attached some pictures of my setup and the state of the LEDs on the board when it is running. My GTS 450 isn't pictured here. It was used that day to test, but then we put in one of his known working cards for further testing.
Neither him or I are novices at this by any means. We've been building our own setups for years. But this is the strangest situation either of us have ever encountered. I'm now reduced to wondering about the most random of problems. Is this huge heatsink causing a problem? I've never used one this big before. Did I use the wrong motherboard screws? My case came with a huge assortment of black screws and the ones I ended up using fit easily and screwed all the way into the mount risers. Could it be that I have the worst luck in the world and have actually board 3 bad motherboards in a row from two different brands.
I'm starting to really worry here as I'm running out of ideas and time to return things.
