MSI Z68-GD80 (G3) Big Problems

So I have gotten my MSI Z68-GD80 (G3) Motherboard 1050 Watt powersupply from corsair 16GB of ram Corsair Vengence GTX 580 Twin Frozr II 2600K and a H80. At Stock Speeds My computer just frezzes in till i reset my computer or it automatically restarts and i have been losing Work Info because of this problem. In Prime 95 i ran it for a hour no Errors or anything. When i Enable OC genie Prime 95 Crashed in 30 minutes my computer freezes loud noise comes out of my headphones. Then i try pressing reset button no respond so i had to turn of my powersupply. btw my highest temp on the core was 55C. This usally happenes when i play games like: MW2,WAW,Crossfire,CSS,TF2,and so On. Btw im on the latest UEFI and drivers i believe since i used the LiveUpdate.
If i have to RMA this Board can I drop it off at MSI Viking Road Richmond I Live Near there.

Have you tried it without OC Genie ? What are the results ? Which BIOS are you using ?
Only insert one memory module. Do a CMOS clear >>Clear CMOS Guide<< Remove the battery for a while.
Ensure that EuP2013, Spread Spectrum and XMP are disabled.
Retest with only one memory module.

Ram problem! (msi z68-gd80,g3)

Hey there.
have a problem with my new ripjaw x series ram 1866. ( and all other ram)
Tried installing all 16 gb of it earlier today and apparently only the first blue and black ram slot work.
Before i updated my bios to the newest one the pc wouldn't even load it would automaticly restart, but after getting the newest version of bios the computer keeps running but no signal to the screen.
I tried mem test on all 4 sticks by using them on the first two slots 1 black and 1 blue and there are no errors.

Did you test @DDR3-1333 // 1.55V // CR=2T?
Also, please read the >>Posting Guide<< and provide full system specs (especially precise model names/numbers of the memory modules you are talking about here).
How and where do i change those settings? Am a total newbie so you'll have to be patient with me..
In the overclock setting of the bios tried changing the volt to and freq to what you said but after changing that even the working 2 didn't work.. so i had to reset bios.

Msi Z68 GD80 (G3) strange Cpu Temp.reading

Hello all,this is my first post here.
I just purchased an Msi Z68 GD80(G3) and I think I have strange cpu temp. reading as seen in the Hw monitor.My i5 2500k idle/load CPU temp. is equal or higher than core temps which is strange for an intel cpu,as an intel user for years I believe it should be 10-12C lower than core temps.(my previous mobo was giga p67 ud5 and never had this issue).Double checked my cpu cooler-spire thermax 2-no problems.Updated to last bios-no change-Any recommendations/solutions welcomed here.
Rest of my system as follows:
Asus gtx560
4*2 gb gskill ddr3 ram
1tb samsung hd
high power 650w power supply

Have you checked what the CPU temp shows in BIOS just after start up ? How does that compare with the HW temp.
HW Monitor's temp interpretation may just not be calibrated for the specific Fintek chip used on your MB. Maybe you want to check with the HW monitor home site as well.
How do the temps compare with whats read/displayed in Speedfan, Real Temp or Core Temp ?
If they are all similar, then it could just be a badly calibrated sensor on the board as well.
Do some comparative testing and see if there are any differences at all.
Also check with MSI technical to see if they are aware of a general tendency with regards to this, or whether a BIOS revision may have addressed such an issue. >>How to contact MSI.<<
Just recheck your heatsink seating again and maybe even reseat the CPU and do a full socket pin inspection at the same time.

MSI 990FX GD80 CPU Voltage problem

Hello guys, I am new to overclocking and i think i have encountered a problem.
Whenever i try to increase my CPU voltage over 1.37 volts in B2 bios my PC freezes and cant boot up. The GPU fan ramps up for a moment and it sends a signal to the monitor but as soon as the monitor turns on there is no signal and it turns off. This keeps on going over and over until I clear CMOS.
PC Specs.
CPU: AMD Phenom II 945 95w x4 3.0ghz 945 (Deneb) (Waiting for FX8150..)
RAM: Corsair XMS DDRIII 1600Mhz downclocked to 800Mhz
MB: MSI 990FXA GD80 Military Class II AM3+
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5870 Sapphire CF
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5870 Asus CF
PSU: Corsair AX850w
Case: Corsair 650D
I don't know if its a problem with the motherboard or the CPU but the reason i post this in MSI forums is because once unboxing the motherboard I've noticed that there were some scratches on the CPU socket. I don't really remember what it was but i thought it nothing serious.
Sorry for my bad english...

MSI P67A GD80 (B3) mic problem

gonna post machine first and then get to the point
Mobo: MSI P67A GD80 (B3)
RAM: Apacer 4GBx2 1333mhz
CPU: Intel Core I5 2500
GFX: 2x SLI MSI 560GTX Twin Frozr II OC edition
PSU: Cougar CM1000
Headset: Razer Piranha
Speakers: Logitech X530 5.1
Keyboard: Logtech G110
OS: Windows 7 64 Bit Ultimate v.7200
Every time i try to use the rear port on my motherboard for my Mic the sound volume is VERY low. I've checked all my settings and mic volume is maxed out so i have to resort to use the mic port on my Logitech G110 keyboard which works fine so there's nothing wrong with the mic itself, I'am pretty sure this is Windows issue and yes i know this should probably be posted on some Microsoft forum but I've tried that to no avail just trying to get MSI's point of view of the issue I've uninstalled and re installed my sound card drivers and download the latest ones which came out this month which also don't help the problem. Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue?
Any help would be appreciated

got a cheapo Logitech headset from work to test and it seems to work now so it seems that my old headset is the problem weird thing is that i still worked in keyboard but not my motherboard slot its probably the wiring on my razer headset. Thanks for you help anyways jack

MSI NEO2 FISRH 865 BIG PROBLEMS

I have the following problem. My computer gets jammed after a time (arbitrary moment). With get jammed I mean that the screen freezes and you can nothing more than a reset. Mostly it happens in Internet Explore.
My computer:
Pentium 4 2.6 GHz 800 FSB
2 x 512 MB DDR400 Ram Twinmos CL3,3,3 in dual
MB : MSI NEO2-LS FISR2H ( chipset 865 PE) BIOS versie 1.1
grafic: Aopen geforce 4 MX 440-se
HD: IBM 80 GB
wireless mouse and keyboard logitech
Software
Windows XP pro service pack 1 (all update's)
Drivers van Nvidia installed
Virusscanner Norton Antivirus ( up to date)
DirectX 9
I have tried.
* turning off Hyper threating
*More fans : 3*80 mm fans and 2 x 120 mm fans (placed according to rules
intake/outtake)
*replacing RAM and tested with MEMtest86 (no error's)
*replacing keyboard and mouse with wired keyboard and mouse
*replacing graficcard with a other brand (same model) and a other brand (differend model)
*changing hard disk
*reinstalling windows
*replacing IDE wires
*keeping a eye on the temperature (is normal )
*keeping a eye on the voltage ( normal)
*replacing power supple with a heavere one
But nothing helps. Does some one knows what the problem can be or do i send it back and ask for a RMA. And buy a motherboard that does work.. : ?( :O

foxie,
My first 865PE Neo2 FIS2r board had BIG problems with on-board LAN, didnt work at all most of the time. No systemcrashes but you could not connect to Internet or LAN.
But since a PCI networkcard work OK, it wasn´t difficult to RMA it to my lockal computershop. They got the same result. I got a new board that work perfect.

Msi z68 gd80 (g3) strange mb temp (overlocked with oc button)

Hi,firstly sorry for my bad english this is my first post
I started my pc with overlock option from BIOS. the cpu speed raised from 3.4 to 4.2 but motherboard is too high temp while overlocked.please check the picture and tell me if those temp are normal ? pc is idle at that picture.those temps are normal ? (room temp under 25c).
my second problem is when i stress test with msi extreme tuning software,max cpu temp became 67c and mb temp became 65-66-67c. (no overlock) (i use intel 2500k stok fan) (thermal compound pasted)(cooler master haf942)

http://www.hwinfo.com/
Download that for monitoring info. Seems to be better than CPUID HWMonitor especially for voltages.
Here's a screenshot of mine and I don't have any problem with it. Yours should be near the same. It seems you are making an issue out of nothing re: MB/system temperature.
This is for my Z77 (I know it's not same MB as yours but temps should be similar) and you should be near the same. By the way use Alt + PrtScn so you only get screenshot of active window instead of entire screen.
Temps in BIOS will show higher than when it's running in Windows environment in case you didn't know that.

MSI Z68A-GD80 B3 bios problem :(

Hi... I've got a very strange problem with my motherboard. The bios diode is blinking (I know that it means my first bios has failed). But I tried fixing method from topic with GD65 and it didn't work. Any ideas?

Remove the PSU power cord, remove the battery for awhile, clear CMOS, reset making sure to enable BIOS update again, save & exit, & then see if the chip LED stops flashing.

MSI Z68-GD80 (G3) SpeedStep Issues

I have my 2600k overclocked to 4.5 ghz.
i have got the intel speedstep enabled.
When i load up CPU-Z my 2600k at idle goes to 1.6ghz but than after a second it goes back to 4.5 ghz.
What settings do i have to enable for this not to happen.
I am on the latest Bios Version.

If you leave the PC alone for a couple of minutes, you will see that it eventually settles down in an idle state. There are usually quite a few start up programs that keep the CPU busy and will cause the load fluctuations, thats normal.

MSI z77a GD80 PCI-e running at 8x and Bios update problem

Hi guys, first of all, sorry for my bad English, this is also my first topic, i recently bought a new PC, the spec is:
i7 3770k @4,3ghz
Corsair H80
MSI z77a GD80 bios 1.2
GTX 680 lightning
8gb ddr3 1600mhz cas9 G.Skill
1TB HDD WD Caviar Black
Asus xonar DX
The problem is, since the first bios, i can't run my PCI-E at 16x, i know when my card is idle the PCI-E goes to 1.1@4x , but when it's in use, it turns to PCI-E 3.0@8x , I'm also waiting for bios updates to check if it solves my problem, but when i try to download the new version 1.3, the download fails ( I'm trying to download with Live update 5 )m is there somebody that can help me solve this problem pls?
I've tried until now:
Replace the card into the first PCI-E slot again
Clear the PCI-E slot
Update to bios 1.1 and 1.2 ( 1.3 is not even downloading )
Set PCI Gen 3 from Auto to disable, and it keeps running with PCI-E 3.0@8x
Thx for any help !

Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 18-November-12, 16:22:21
As per the manual, the VGA must be in the primary slot to run 16X. BIOS setting for graphics 3.0 should be set to Auto.
Do not use Live Update for BIOS updates. Too many borked boards are the result. Use the forum's USB method;
>> Forum Flash Method <<
Just curious. If I installed Add-on card that run at PCI-E 4X on 3rd slot (2nd slot is empty) what's configuration will apply ?

MSI 990fxa-gd80 PROBLEMS

Never in my life I have seen a more unstable motherboard....
Here is my configuration (the system is new, assembled yesterday):
Cpu: AMD FX 8350
MB: MSI 990fxa-gd80 (bios verison:13.2)
Memory: Corsair vengeance 8x2GB 1866
SSD: OCZ vector 128 GB
Power: Seasonic 850 Bronze
System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64
I need some help with the following problems if there is someone kind enough to help me:
1. after a minute or 2 bios freezes (I think I managed to solve this by setting the correct speed for ddram; initially it's 1333 and I set it to 1866)
2. Now the windows sees the 16 GB of ram but only uses 8 GB: 16.0 GB (7.95 GB usable); If I set the memory speed to 1333, the windows uses all memory but the computer resets after a few minutes in windows and the bios freezes the same. And after reset it doesn't boot anymore... I have to clear CMOS to make it boot again
3. sometimes after a freeze, I reset and all kinds of artifacts appear on the screen, and the system is not booting
Does someone have any idea about these problems ? Have anybody experienced something like this ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Are you sure? All my 990FXA-GD80-Boards have only four DDR3-Slots, not eight...
What happens, when you run the system with only one RAM-module? Check the one module first and the second module later.

Problem with msi 990fxa-gd80

Ok after a month of my new setup (8150fx,msi 990fxa-gd80 and kingston hyperx 1866 8gb) i tried to OC some the cpu . After all the settings are done and boot normally at windows i saw the core voltage was at stock 1.28v (using CPU-Z,core temp and amd overdrive) but before at bios i gave it 1,35v. Also i use a multi of x17.5 and fsb 233 but while checking from same programs (CPU-Z, core temp and amd overdrive) the multi goes at 16.5 If i use the amd overdrive i can set the cpu voltage and multi at 1.35 and x17.5 but only from there. Also the system temp at north bridge is a bit high 41 idle is that the correct temp ??? I am using the latest bios 11.10
Plz if anyone knows something about that or had the same problem plz tell me what should i do .

Is amd Cool n'quiet & c1e support disabled?
Also, when overclocking, I don't use amd overdrive (except for the vid card) or control center. Make all your bios changes in the bios.

BSOD problems with MSI Z77A-GD80. Possible solution - enabling XMP?

Hello all,
I have problems with BSOD. When I play game "TrackMania2 Canyon" after some time (usually 15-30 minutes) BSOD shows with these bugcheck codes: 0x4E (0x99, 0x219CD3, 0x1, 0x1620D3).
When I using other applicatons (MS Word 2010, Visual Studio 2010, AIMP3, Gom Player, Chrome, WaterFox) there is no BSOD. Also, I tried to play game "Trackmania United Forever" (older game than "TrackMania2 Canyon") and everithig is fine (no BSOD).
On this post Leon says:

Enable XMP in the bios and put the modules in the black memory slots.
That should work.
I've been using Corsair modules on several mainboards for some time now without issues.
I want to try enabling XMP for my RAM (it is supported by my RAM modules) to try to solve that BSOD. What I need to do? Does it only possible in OC mode or I can enable XMP in Eco or Standard mode? I do not want overclock RAM with XMP, just to set it on 1600 MHz via XMP.
I do not have any OC experinece (just teoreticaly). The best solution for me will be to enable XMP in Eco or Standard mode. If XMP only possible in OC mode I want other OC values to set like in standard mode.
I tested over 5 hours all 4 RAM modules in the same time with MemTest86+ with 3 passes without any errors.
BTW, when I logged into my Windows account, what is the most easiest way to determine in what mode Z77A-GD80 is (Eco, Standard or OC)?
Configuration (all components are brand new) of my PC is:
MB: MSI Z77A-GD80 (MS-7757 v1.0)

You see, the problem is the bandwidth.
Your cpu's memory controller as stated by Intel:
Max Memory Bandwidth 25.6 GB/s (if it devide by 1000, and 25 GB/s if it devide by 1024)
DDR 1600 memory has a peak bandwidth of 12800 mb/sec, if you multiply it out then divide by 1024 you get 50 GB/sec. This is why it is hard to oc memory, it isn't the memory, it's the memory controller. Even with 1333 it is over 41 gb/sec, which why it is sometimes nessesary to overvolt the memory and or memory controller / increase the latency to run at all!.
A BETTER and more exact reason for this can be found here although it is based on DDR2. http://www.overclock.net/t/193449/memory-dividers-latencies-and-bandwidth-explained
I don't know how did you calculate 50GB/s peak bandwidth of DDR3 dual channel 4 X 4GB 1600MHz but it seems too much.
According to my calculations it is 2 X 8 X 1600 / 1024 = 25 GB/s (2 is for dual channel), witch is the value that memory controler for Intel i7-3770K was natively made for (Intel i7-3770K Memory Types: DDR3-1333/1600).
Here is specifications for Intel i7-3770K:
http://ark.intel.com/products/65523/Intel-Core-i7-3770K-Processor-(8M-Cache-up-to-3_90-GHz)
I don't think that 2 kits (2 X 4GB) od DDR3 will increse bandwidth double to 2 X 25 = 50GB/s.
Here is my AIDA64's Cache & Memory Benchmark (12.5% less than theoretical maximum for DDR3 1333MHz dual channel):

Random crashing - MSI Z68A-GD80 Intel Z68

Hi All,
I bought the following recently from Aria - Gladiator Z68 Core i7 2600K 4.60GHz 8GB Overclocked Bundle, however when purchased it the deal included the MSI Z68A-GD80 B3. Now before i start i have never had anything over clocked before and thus have no clue at how it all works, therefore apologies for my newbieness in advance!
My rig:
Mobo: MSI Z68A-GD80 Intel Z68
Chip: i7-2600K Overclocked @ 4.60GHz
Cooler:Be Quiet! Dark Rock Advanced CPU Cooler.
Ram: 8GB Mushkin Ridgeback #996987 (2x4GB) DDR3 1866MHz 9-11-9-27
GPU:MSI GeForce GTX 580 Twin Frozr II
PSU: Cant remember the name but its 1200w
SSD: Crucial 256GB RealSSD C300
HDD: 2TB Samsung
OS: Windows 64 bit ultimate
When it works it works excellently, but every now and again the system will just shut off. A couple of seconds will pass and it will restart itself, I don't press a thing or touch anything. It wont boot as it keeps restarting. The only thing that will work is if i keep the power button presses, boot in safe mode, shut down and restart the system.
The only thing i have done regarding the above is change the CPU speed as in it was set to run at 4.6GHz permanently so I changed it so that when its idle the speed reduces to around 1.6GHZ. Outcasst thought about doing the same with the voltage but the only options in the BIOS are to either set it to a fixed voltage or Auto. When i set it to Auto to see if that helped the computer wouldn't boot so i changed it back again immediately.
It has been formatted in the last week if that makes a difference. But it was happening before i formatted it too.
Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I haven't contacted Aria as yet, thought i would post here first.
Thank you in advance
Mark

Ah, ok. Thanks for the screenshots. Helps a lot. Recommend setting Internal PLL Overvoltage from 'Auto' to 'Enable'. CPU Core Voltage, raise a step to 1.360v's. The voltage loss reading at the BIOS is telling. 1.645v set, only 1.616v is applied. This can be checked & confirmed for accuracy using a digital multi meter at the V-Check Point. For now, if we presume the 1.616v is accurate, your X.M.P. for 1866 RAM speed is 1.65v's. 1.616v is a long way from 1.65v's. With that 0.034v loss, BIOS setting would have to be raised to 1.685v range to give a true 1.65v's. I am a little reluctant to recommend that setting without a multi meter being attached to the V-Check Point. You don't really want to exceed the actual applied DRAM V. of 1.65v if at all possible.
Added: Just as an FYI, CPU V. recommended maximum is not to exceed 1.400v's.
I changed the above. Not sure if its coincidence or not but its crashed more in the last 24 hours than ever! Trying to eliminate all possibilities now.
