MSI X79 GD65 (8D) CPU Compatibility

Hello, I'm not sure where to put this topic exactly but is the LGA 2011 motherboard 22nm ready for an Ivy Bridge - E Processor? I can't seem to find in the specs if what nm technology is it compatible. Or would I rather get a Sandy Bridge - E instead?

I'm not familiar with flashing bios mainly because I haven't tried it yet and had not experienced it, but I have read the notice on Ivy Bridge CPU support. Would like to ask if there are there any compatibility issues (like stability issues experienced) or disadvantages when running on an Ivy Bridge CPU made possible due to a BIOS update? Also, would I have to update the UEFI/BIOS each time I reformat?

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:

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)

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 X79A-GD65 (8) Ram Compatability

hello gents
I'm planning for my new rig with the MSI X79A-GD65 (8).
I found in the memory compatibility guide page 7 that the "G.Skill [RIPJAWSZ] F3-12800CL9Q-16GBZL" kit that has 4 dimms as advertised.
filled the 8 dimms in the test
does it means i can use two kits of this with no problem???
please advise cause i'm on a harry to buy.

Quote from: HU16E
If you are going to fill all 8 slots, you are better off getting an 8 stick matched and tested kit. Reason, mixing kits even though the same part number may have different chips on them and not be compatible with each other. That particular RAM manufacturer even has some disclaimers about that with some kits.
That's right.
http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=427
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.
In fact, 8 memory modules is not a good idea at all.
There will be a huge bandwidth demand and you'll need to raise the voltages and/or to slow them down.
Otherwise you'll get into stability issues.

MSI Z68A-GD65-G3 CPU PWM?

Hello,
I just put together my new system and have a cooler with a pwm 4 pin fan which is plugged into the 4 pin CPU header.
The fan is running at full speed all the time and there is no option in the bios for auto/pwm and voltage control of the fan. There is an option where you can set the maximum temperature and percentage the fan should spin at until it reaches the set temperature. For example if the temperature is set at 50c and the fan speed to 50% then the fan will continue to run at 50% until it reaches 50c and then speed up to full speed.
I'm used to other boards having full pwm which change the speed of the CPU fan according to heat. Is what I have explained above normal for MSI boards and they don't have traditional pwm control on the CPU?
Thanks for your help
Dan

Set it to 55°C and 0%, that should enable the automatic CPU Fan control.

MSI Z87-GD65 and ram compatibility

Hello all,i would like to know if Z87-GD65 board is compatible with new Kingston HyperX Fury memory?
I can't find answer anywhere so i u could help me,this model HX318C10FBK2/16. In fact i would like to know if there would be any problem with memory with cash latency 10 or 11?

I checked the specs here http://www.kingston.com/datasheets/HX318C10FBK2_16.pdf
There is nothing out of the ordinary. It may not have been tested by MSI for this board yet. Thus the timings at 1866 may not automatically set correctly. But you have the option to set them manually.
Memory that's not on the support list is always a bit of a gamble, but mostly if standard JEDEC settings are applied, it works.

MSI X79 GD65 8d DVD problem

For some reason the DVD drive does not work with the MSI, but it works with my other computers. The DVD drive is detected by Windows 7, but it will not read any DVD/CD.

What SATA port are you using the ODD in? SATA II or SATA III? Native Intel or external? Are the SATA controllers all enabled in the UEFI/BIOS?

X79-GD65 (8D) and i7 3820 issues

Hello members
I recently purchased a MSI X79-GD65 (8D) motherboard and an Intel i7 3820 CPU.
I have installed 4 sticks of 16GB memory.
When I turn the computer on, everything looks normal on the motherboard, except I get no video (have tried two video cards).
The CPU phase LED shows 3 bars, no digits on the debug motherboard LCD.
I have noticed that it is impossible to turn the power off and the PSU needs to be switched off.
From what I am reading it seems I have an old BIOS, (the chip has a red dot) and this is incompatible with the 3820.
I was wondering if anybody knows a workaround to allow me to get into BIOS to reflash the chip.
The fact that the BIOS chips are surface soldered doesn't help either.
Any ideas appreciated.

it is dead to me.
there are some serious key flaws with MSI.
Why is the BIOS chip soldered surface mount, if BIOS are always outdated, why not install a socket BIOS chip, this would then be a very straight forward fix
Why do I need a CPU installed to flash my BIOS, ASUS has this feature on their motherboard, this could easily be fixed in this case
The RMA website for Australia is non functional, try navigating http://au.msi.com/service/wheretobuy/ you get a JavaScript error.
I reread the manual which points to the url http://www.msi.com/service/cpu-support (which doesn't even work because of the missing trailing forward slash) and it pointed to the url http://www.msi.com/product/mb/X79A-GD65--8D-.html#/?div=CPUSupport.
Nothing on that page even hints there may be incompatibility issues.
Not a good experience

MSI P55 GD65 - BSOD - MEMORY_MANAGEMENT

I'm facing a weird issue with my pc:
If I turn on the PC, the system starts up fine, but within 30 secs up to 5 minutes I get a BSOD (usually MEMORY_MANAGEMENT).
If I then restart the system it will run fine..
CPU intensive gaming, memory checks, benchmarks, standby and wakeup, all runs fine... after a first BSOD.
I've tried all kinds of memory settings, but nothing seems to help. Also hard to test if it runs fine after a crash.
It's almost like the system needs to warm-up a bit and then it will run fine
The BSOD message indicates a memory issue, but then I would expect random BSOD, not only right after cold start.
Any suggestions?

Status update:
I've reset the bios to safe defaults.
Started up memtest86+ and screen turned red rather then blue, so lots of mem-errors.
Restarted and then memtest ran fine for more then 10 hours.
Passed 20 times all tests no errors with both Dimms inserted.
Then I tested cold start with 1 dimm only:
- with 1 DIMM in slot 3 only system cold-starts fine and memtest runs fine with no errors.
- with 1 DIMM in slot 1 only system cold-starts fine and memtest starts up but then doesn't even start a test. So it seems to be hanging already.
Swapping both dimms showed the same result.
Preliminary conclusion now is a faulty slot 1
Does it indeed sound like a slot 1 issue?
MB is the worst part to RMA, so hopefully I can find a solution.... slot 1 seems not to be completely broken after all.
PS: increasing to 1.6V I had already tried before without success.

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:
MOBO: MSI P67A-GD65 (B3)
CPU: INTEL CORE i5 2500K
RAM: G.SKILL RIPJAWS X 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600MHZ CL6 (F3-12800CL6D-4GBXH)

Here you go. GD65 and GD55 usde the same BIOS files;

OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit
The system booted up for the first time normal. I installed Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit and then i installed the motherboard drivers from the CD. After i runned the Live Update 5 software from MSI. It found that i had BIOS 1.10 and wanted to download BIOS 1.11. Also it found all the drivers no updated. So i first start flashing the BIOS to 1.11 from windows and then i restarted the system and updated all the drivers. I continue to install all my programs for my work and at night i shutted down the PC. The next morning when i turned on the PC, the system started in black screen for 3-4 sec and then stopped. After that it started again and continued to load windows. Until today every morning it does the same. After a lot of hours that im working on it... when i shutted down and turn it on the next day it does that.
Any clues?
Thanks in advance for your kind help.

Lot's of clues! Wanted v1.11 for what specific reason requiring a BIOS update? First, how did you find a UEFI/BIOS v1.11 that has been pulled because it is a bad BIOS? Two, never flash in a Windows environment or use Live Update, especially for a BIOS update, go to the MSI Website and download drivers and install them manually. Switch to BIOS chip B, and whatever you do, don't flash it to that bad v1.11 or the board will be a brick.
Some of us have found this Beta UEFI/BIOS to be the best one;

MSI X79A-GD65 (8D) Boot error B2

I bought my ssystem last week. All hardware came in and I build it up.
This is the hardware I have:
Mainboard: MSI X79A-GD65 (8D)
CPU: Intel Core i7-3930K/3.2GHz 12MB LGA2011 Hexa-core
Case: Corsair CASE Graphite 600T
Power supply: Thermaltake SMART 650W/ 80plus
Cooler: Thermaltake Contac 39
SSD: Intel SSD 520 series 240GB
HDD: Seagate HI 3.5" 2TB Barracuda 7200RPM
Graphics: MSI N660Ti PE 2GD5/OC GTX660Ti
Memory: CORSAIR DDR3 1600MHz 16GB Kit 2x8GB Domi DDR3 - 240 pin - 1,5V - CL9 - 2x 8 GB Kit
DVD: DVD RW AD-5280 24x DL SATA Black Bulk 24x/24x - Serial ATA
The problem:
Everything looks fine all fans are spinning when I power on the computer. Keyboard lights up. I can even press del to enter setup.
I never get into setup though. It just displays error code B2 in the bottom right corner and a blinking cursor in the top left corner.
So always error B2. I see this error to on the LED's in the mainboard.
What I have tried:
- Boot the system with one memory module in Dimm socket 1
- Boot the system with on memory module in Dimm socket 3
- Place the graphic cards in another PCI-E socket
- Double checked the connector of the power on the graphic card, the mainboard, near the cpu and the graphic card power on the mainboard.
- Boot the system without any devices, just cpu, memory and graphic card.
- Reset the CMOS with the button on the back of the mainboard.
Can somebody help me solve my problem? I have no idea what to do anymore?
Oh: 1 thing just came to mind, I have connected all my system fans to my case instead of on my mainboard. I can manage the speed that way, can it have something to do that there is no Sysfan1 connected to the mainboard? (A bit far searched I guess).
Help would be much apreciated.

I just wanted to let the readers know that I found the problem.
I have tried to screw out my old Videocard and placed that in my new system. It booted without any problems.
The MSI Geforce GTX 660 Ti videocard caused my problem. I have read some things about this card to on the internet.
They tend to use to much power in this videocard so it can cause POST problems.
Here is some more info about it: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/MSI-GTX-660-670-overvolting-PowerEdition,18013.html
I hope this info helps other people to.

MSI Z87 GD65 GAMING Doesn't recognize crossfire. Help Pls.

Hello everyone, I've had several board msi brand, such as B3 P68 GD65, GD65 G3 Z68, Z68 GD80 G3, last week bought a Z87 GD65 gaming, but I can not activate the second video card, installed the amd 13.9 drivers with just one card ,rebooted and installed the second does not recognize the second card. I tested amd drivers 13.10v2 and does not work, I tested with the older amd drivers 13.4 official and does not recognize the second card.
Tested one by one each both graphical works fine.
I have the crossfire bridge connected.
I must change something in the bios? To recognize the second card? what ?
Never happened to me on msi boards such things and i haved always crossfire.

Hi everybody,
I tested one at a time in the pci-e 2 and works.
And do the same on Pci-e nº1. works fine the 2 card.
"Several possibles. If testing a card by itself in the second slot does not work, then either there is a problem with an errant standoff or other item shorting underneath the mainboard. The other most common reason is CPU socket pin(s) bent or damaged or the CPU cooler mouinted incorrectly or unevenly torqued.
I don´t believe it the pins because if you look at the GPU-Z recognizes the two cards.
And appears on device manager the to cards.
I am using SO w7 ultimate, and the board bios is the last version.
Is something else must be some setting in bios, and i don´t no...
