MSI Z87-GD65 - XMP not working

I just received another motherboard back from RMA, but when I set my XMP to Profile 1 (2400) the adjust DRAM frequency stays at 1600. I can only select up to 1600 under DRAM frequency as well.
The first weird thing was there were two DRAM frequency options, but since trying out different bios, it back to just one, but still won't clock up to 2400.
I've confirmed this is CPUID as well (800 speed)
Before the RMA, all I had to do was select XMP Profile 1 and it was perfect.
I've tried bios 1.3, 1.6 1.8 1.9 and the newest beta 1.10B1 or 1.10A1 can't remember
What should I do next?

Quote from: Bernhard on 28-April-14, 19:42:01
Yes it should, at minimum it show the RAM OC option to what the RAM supports and which is embedded in the RAM XMP profile.
I would start engaging MSI technical to establish what their opinion is of the lack of RAM OC options in your BIOS.
Thanks, I've called them and they're looking into for me. I've directed them to this thread as well.

MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming EIST is not working

Hi all, my EIST is not working properly, the CPU clock run between 3.7-3.9 all the time (VID 1.153 - 1.219)
Here is my setup:
Motherboard and CPU: MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming + 4770K
OS: Clean installed Win 7 SP1 with most updated driver from MSI site.
Bios version: 1.2 (All default settings)
Actually the EIST works before without installing driver ME and chipset driver from MSI site, any advices?
thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome,
to DougQuaid tip.
Allso if you have OC your system, you need to set Ratio mode to Dynamic and voltage mode to Adaptive.
Like in this picture of my BIOS settings. I marked those with yellow.
Warning: After that you shouldent stress test your CPU anymore with Prime95, Occt, or so on programs. Because they could get the MB give too much power to CPU
I just tested those (ME and Chipset) files from MSI and still get my clock and voltage down normaly.
There seams to be new official relice of BIOS 1.3v there too, so you could try that. if yours cot some bug in it.
Also make sure on task manager that your pc isnt doing anything under. Like live Spybot/virus/... -Scans.
I hope these help Cheers, Mummy

Flashing of MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING failed and dual bios not helping, not sure why?

Hi all
For the first time in 20 years Ive had a firmware flash fail it seems.
I have a MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING and updated the bios with the latest firmware via the "M-FLASH" utility within the systems bios.
All seemed to have gone well, it flashed to 100% rebooted and then just a blank screen and a sequence of keyboard light flashes.
After a minutes panic I thought not to worry, the motherboard has a dual bios. So I powered down and switched the bios switch to bios B hoping it would assist and the problem is identical.
Any tips anyone?

I just tried this along with removing power from the main board and it seems one of the two did it! thanks

Checking ram that works with MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING Intel Z87 Motherbo

Was wondering if Vengeance pro series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 DRAM 2400MHz C10 Memory Kit (CMY16GX3M2A2400C10R) will work good on MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING Intel Z87 Motherboard or if im gonna need to do some tweeking.

Since in the components purchasing stage for the project, a few tips for you. Check with the PSU manufacturer to make sure it is Haswell compliant. I like single rail +12V PSU's made by Corsair, but there are other good ones out there too. OS is also important. I prefer Win 7 Ultimate 64 Bit, but if you go with Win 8 or 7, some GTX 780 issues may arise. GOP, VBIOS, mainboard updated to the very newest UEFI/BIOS etc. can be involved. UEFI/BIOS update is a good place to start if the graphics card gives you trouble. Research as much as you can prior to the build. Advance planning helps a lot on what to possibly expect.
Here is the thread for UEFI/BIOS's;

MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming Motherboard Booting Windows 7 Trouble

Hi guys, today I bought the MSI Z87-GD65 Mobo, 2 Sticks of 4GB RAM and the Intel i7 4770. I bought these to upgrade my old system and the only other parts im using is my Nvidia GTX570, PSU and my 2TB Seagate HDD.
Everything hardware works normal, no abnormal signs.
My problem is when it boots up, it says "find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /win7ldr. Error 15: File not found"
I've tried using my windows 7 disc and it says all my stuff is still there and the startup troubleshooter doesn't find any issues. I tried putting my RAM in properly and its in nicely. (they are in the 3rd and 4th slot though) My power is fine, its just the BIOS isn't booting it =(
-The BIOS is updated
-No Hardware faults
Note: when i press any key to continue, it comes up with GRUB4DOS and has options like: "Windows 7 with SLIC Loader (Default)"
Please help me if you know anything!

Hi,
Quote from: TrisXD on 15-July-13, 20:12:10
Its a fresh install of Windows 7, i had to do it to fix my original problem =/
Update: I changed the RAM and put them in the slots u suggested, no change.
Sorry, when i post my last anser, i didnt know your new problem
Sounds like old problem from time of XP to Vista.
Firsth. Take out that USB connection of your headset from PC.
Secend. Uninstall any driver that headset (or you) may have installed to your OS.
Third. Run registercleaner program.
Fourth. Shotdown PC and then start again (dont just reboot!)
Fifth. Download and/or Install drivers for that USB headset.
Sixth. Reboot that PC.
Seventh. Insert that USB connection.
I hope this helps! Cheers, Mummy
If not i would try to ubdate intel chipset drivers(if MSI ones dont work, i would go to Intel site and try them from there) and if those dont help then another reinstall of OS and member to inser USB device after installing drivers for the device.

MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming and msata speed issue...

Hi,
So I'm running the MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming with a 128GB SanDisk msata. Now it all works perfectly; no BSOD or crashes, but what I have noticed is that sometimes when the PC boots and I look in Intel Rapid Storage Technology, the msata on port 5 is running at 3Gb/s not 6Gb/s: I verified the speed loss using AS SSD benchmark. Reboot and it's back to 6Gb/s and back to full speed.
Anyone else seen this or have an idea of a solution?
Thanks

Quote from: JLio01 on 06-March-15, 14:21:58
How often can you notice the problem? You mentioned AS SSD Benchmark has speed loss, what's the result of speed test then?
I notice it a couple of times a day minimum

MSI Z87 GD65 Crashing/Freezing/No Monitor Signal

So the other night I was playing WoW for a few hours... When I woke back up and turned my computer on it booted up... The fans kicked on/keyboard and mouse lite up and the screen said no signal. I shut it down pulled the power for awhile then booted back up. Then booted it back up and everything was fine when I opened wow and logged in 2 second later the computer rebooted it self. When rebooting the computer the screen said lost signal to the monitor again and the only way to get that back on is by pulling the power cable.... It would also freeze time to time....Now the computer wont even show the screen... What is faulty? MB/Graphics card? Im using MSI Z87 GD65 MB and the MSI 770 Twin Forzr 2gb.
Things I tried
Reformatting
Resitting Graphics Card/Ram
Switching Graphics Card on a different slot
Different driver
Canned air for cleaning

I tried clearing the CMOS, the graphics card fans are running but not sending signal to the monitor, I took it out and using on board... that works fine... Im trying to figure whats the problem is before I go purchase the new part.

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...

MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming+Network card.

So I bought Intel Pro 1000GT Desktop Adapter, till I tried putting in my motherboard... IT DID NOT FIT ! I have to say that its the wrong one even tho I was told that it would fit...(Best Buy told me)
If Intel Pro 1000GT is indeed the wrong card for my motherboard, which Intel Pro 1000 would definitely fit?
My reason for getting adapter is due to Killer onboard network causing my pings in the game to elevates. normally 26ms and it tenfold to 100ms+. then back down to 26ms then 56ms, so on... I even called my ISP provider they said its working as it should. I even ping test on other PC, it works flawlessy. So before switching to a different ISP (WideOutWest currently), I have to verify that everything is not on my end. I even bought myself Motorola Surfboard SB6141, and that fixed the issue I HAD before but the elevations still persist.
I would love to have someone on here help me find the best Network Card for this MSI Z87 GD65 if possible. Thanks in advance!

Not really, I've never had to use a discrete net card as the onboard (my current MB has Intel built in) has worked fine on all the MSI MBs Iv'e had over the years. I did take a quick look at newegg and they have the PCIe Intel net cards for decent price. One of the 2 should be OK I would guess.
You posted that while I was looking those up at newegg. I suppose either one should be OK. I don't see much if any difference between the two of them.
I'll get the BLK model. Hopefully its good for playing games. Thank you so much for spending time working it out with me

MSI Z87-GD65 DRAM & DIMM Voltage Readings

Hello everyone.
My spec is:
i7 4770K @ stock for now
MSI z87 GD65
G-skill RipjawsX 1866 Mhz
My question is; I'm using 2 softwares for monitoring stuff. One is HWMonitor and the other is HWInfo64. And I've found something confusing lately. In HWMonitor, it shows my DRAM Voltage @ 1.48v but in HWInfo, it shows my DIMM Voltage @ 1.69v. BIOS shows it's @ 1.488v but most of the stuff is set to auto and I never be sure what's going on there. So I'm kinda confused since I'm only using the XMP Profile 2 and it should be around 1.5v. But with HWInfo showing it @ 1.69v I want to know if something is wrong or not. Any suggestions?

Quote from: Sea Dog on 17-January-14, 04:43:15
What does HWInfo64 show for DRAM V. when XMP is disabled and the RAM is running default? There could be a programming issue with the SPD/XMP profile reading of the software and/or the way the BIOS is reading the RAM's profiles. Sometimes these anomalies can be rectified with a UEFI/BIOS compatibility revision. The RAM brand is well known for SPD profile problems on a number of different mainboard brands.
HWInfo64 still shows 1.696 with XMP is disabled and the ram is running 1600mhz.
HWMonitor on the other hand shows it @ 1.48v even with XMP is enabled.
Quote from: xmad on 17-January-14, 06:01:45
I would believe what it says in control center / command center.
If there is any doubt, verify it with a digital multi-meter.
I couldn't find where it shows the DRAM voltage on command center.

MSi z87-gd65 OC Genie and RAM frequency issues

Hey all,
I just built a new computer (my first build), and am quite glad with the capabilities of the machine. However, whenever I try to turn on OC Genie or bump up my ram speed to 2400 MHz(I believe this is the native speed, but the motherboard puts it down to 1333MHz) the system fails to boot, and sometimes hangs in a rebooting cycle. Eventually, the motherboard gives an error on the screen saying that the changes made have failed and was restored to default settings, and to press f1 or f2.
I admit I am a complete novice at overclocking, and probably do not know what I did wrong. I've updated the bios, cleared cmos, and tried both bios A and B, but have got the same results. I was hoping I could get some help on this forum and learn new workarounds! Any help is greatly appreciated.

Quote from: phantom24 on 19-October-13, 08:56:19
Hey man, thanks for replying. The first thing I tried, before overclocking, was to enable XMP from the UFEI. When i enabled it, the board would show that memory was OC'd to 2400MHz and bumped up to 1.65 voltage. This is all shown prior to rebooting. When I would reboot the computer however, the system would fail to boot and I would get the same error saying all "overclocking failed, reset to default settings". I believe that my ram is the cause for my inability to overclock. I found out that motherboard is not compatible with it at extreme speeds. The max speed I can get out of my ram is 2133MHz with no problem whatsoever in rebooting. This is without changing the voltage of the ram( keeping it at 1.5v) . If I change the ram voltage, I'm pretty sure it would fail to boot.
Yeah good luck with OCing and please let me know if you find anything useful. I'm afraid that this forum does not have much to offer, so you may want to try some other forums.
Jms and Xfx are right. By default mine booted to at 1600mhz. I enabled XMP and it brought it to the rated speed of 2133mhz. I'm not trying to overclock my ram further than the rated speed. Pointless to me, considering I'm coming from a rig that had ddr2 with 800mhz. As you can see in my pic, the one with blue LEDs is the 7.5 year old build. Still going strong. Anyhow, if you do overclock, make sure you disable the XMP. That way you can eliminate another possible instability issue. I'm a member of a few forums, and I was suprised to see these forums not respond very well. For the guys who did respond, I thank you! You may also want to check out overclock.net There's are plenty of people there and "clubs" you can be a part of. I'm finding a lot of useful information there. Most people won't get mad about noob questions unless you do like me and ask the same ones in multiple threads lol! Hop on over there and check it out. My name there is Scotty Mac.

MSI Z87-GD65 System. Slower Download speeds since upgrade.

I've recently upgraded my PC to an MSI Z87-GD65/i5-4670K based system from an Core 2 Quad, Win 7 64x setup.
I use Usenet frequently and since upgrading i seem to have lost around 1000KB/s in download speed when maxing out my line.
Before, i used to get around 9140KB/s max download using the onboard lan port on a Gigabyte P45 based motherboard. Port on old board was a Realtek 8111C Gigabyte chip.
Now i get around 8200KB/s max download using the onboard lan port on my MSI Z87-GD65 motherboard which is the Killer E2205 chip.
I'm using the latest Lan drivers for my chip and have tried older ones but come up with the same result.
Is there an obvious reason behind this speed loss? What i'm wondering is does Windows 8.1 constantly use the network to keep the app tiles updated and if so would it account for 1000KB/s of missing speed. If so, is there a way of stopping it using the network when I'm downloading stuff?
I don't think the speed difference is due to the different chipsets because i get the same speeds using various speed tests that i did before. Also i know its not a massive amount of speed loss (it's equivalent to 8Mbps) but its annoying me.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
My specs are as follows:-
i5-4670k
MSI Z87- GD65
16gb Crucial Elite 1866 using X.M.P
250GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD
MSI GTX770 2GB
Corsair HX850w PSU
Windows 8.1 Pro
I have no Wifi card or software installed so i'm just using the onboard ethernet.
Current download speeds shown in Speedtest.net is 74 Down 19 Up, however the Usenet speed i'm getting is around 64 Down (8200KB/s). Difference of 10Mbps. Ive checked settings on the Usenet provider side and they are correct.
