P67A-G43 Intel SRT (Accelerate Missing)

I have a P67-G43 configured with two 500GB mechanical drives in RAID1.
I added a 64GB Crucial M4 SSD to use the SRT feature to accelerate the RAID1 configuration.
This is supposed to be possible and supposed to work quite well.
However, "Accelerate" does not show up under the Intel Rapid Store Technology application.
I've formatted the SSD. I've updated BIOS, I've update RST software.
Has anyone gotten this to work? Others have...

MSI P67A-G43 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel P67 wont BOOT!

My pc
PSU:Ultra 650w
CPU: Intel Core i7 2600k
MOBO:MSI P67A-G43 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel P67
Video Card:ATI 6950 GIGABYTE 2GB.
HDD:SEAGATE 1TB
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL
Explanation
I recently changed my motherboard from gigabyte+amd 955(worked flawlessly) to an intel core i7 2600k and the current mobo, i kept all the previous components and now i am having trouble booting up my pc. It starts and all the comps seem to work no beep but the monitor LED turns off and on and there is not even a "no signal" notice therefore i dont think its my video card causing the issue.
What could it be? I heard that CPU is the least faulty component.
Is the memory compatible or should i switch? worked fine on previous build.
Or is it the mobo?

Thanks for the help it happens that it was my dumb monitor not working in hdmi or dvi controller. Funny cause the component works fine on my ps3.....
So no problem whatsoever just my monitor worned out and needs to rma because its been only 1 year.
But before you leave i had to remove the cpu to check if i put it right... and maybe some thermal contact worn off a little bit because the motherboard bios in the OC section is displaying 55 degrees celcious is that normal(the bar reaches red section)? Room temp 74 degrees. also hardware monitor displays 40 degrees celcious each core Which one should i believe.

4TB, RAID5, and a P67A-G43. I gotta make it work...

Right now I am creating a new computer setup solely for the purpose of having Windows 7 x64 running off of a single 4TB RAID5 (3X 2TB). I know it's (theoretically) possible, as this board is a UEFI-type board, and there's just no other way for this system to be completed without this RAID setup. I purchased this board with the associated DDR3 RAM and i3-2120 CPU yesterday, set it all up, and can boot normally. I did a test run by installing Windows 7 to a single 2TB HDD in ACHI mode, and followed up with updating the UEFI BIOS to the latest 1B version (2011-04-14 date of release). However, I'm now running into a number of roadblocks.
1. The very first thing I did once I could confirm everything was set up properly was set the SATA connections to RAID mode. Rebooting the computer, I Ctrl-I enter the Intel ROM Option screen. All three 2TB drives are listed, and I go ahead and create a new RAID volume. I choose RAID5 with 64kb clusters, and the max size of roughly 3.7TB is created. Problem is when all is done, the volume under 'Bootable' is no. That's obviously not good. I try anyway to force it by booting a UEFI-optioned Win7 setup disk, convert the volume to GPT and did both an automatic new partition on one try and manually make the EFI, MBR, and the NTFS partitions on another. The full partition of roughly 3.7TB minus the two minor partitions is listed and not broken up or cut-off at 2TB. I get the error along the lines of "Windows cannot be installed to this disc... the selected disk is of the GPT partition style", but I can still select Next and proceed - if I booted the setup disk outside UEFI boot, then I would get a second error and could not proceed. The installation gets to the second to last step without incident (the step where it restarts before Completing Installation), and then once I get back to the UEFI bot option screen, I don't have the option to either select the volume under the Hard Drive listing, nor is it listed under the UEFI boot option listing either. How can I make this RAID5 setup bootable?
2. Frustrated with that, I retested by doing the same thing as above, but this time I intentionally set the RAID5 volume to a size of 1.8TB. This new volume was now listed as bootable, so I proceeded with the Win7 installation. Again, once the second to last step was reached, the computer restarted, and I had to go back into the UEFI boot order screen to make adjustments. This time, the volume was listed under the Hard Drive options, but still not under the UEFI boot options. Either way, I could still not boot from the RAID volume to finish the installation.
I've Googled the known universe trying to figure out how to get this to work, but still haven't found the answer. What I need to know is two-tiered: How can I - with the built in Intel RAID controller - create a bootable 4TB RAID5 volume, and then, how do I successfully install Windows 7 x64 to it? I need to know an answer relatively soon as if it turns out it is not possible, that's fine, but I have less than two weeks to return the motherboard. There is no other way around this - for this specific application a single 4TB RAID5 bootable environment with no other drives or storage is required. And if all else fails and I do have to return this, are there any boards within the same $150 price range that can accomplish this?
Other specs and overview:
The board is a P67A-G43 (B3).
UEFI is at version 1B.
The CPU is a i3-2120.
The Intel ROM Option 'application' is at version 10.0.1.XXX. I believe there is a 10.5.1.XXX version that supports booting >2TB volumes, but don't know how that applies to this board.
The system functions normally when SATA is in IDE or ACHI mode.
I can upload some screenshots as needed after work today.

I've been using GPT. That's not the problem. It's the fact that I cannot complete a 7x64 installation on a RAID, combined with the handicap of not being able to create a bootable RAID >2TB - something UEFI, GPT, and 7x64 are specifically designed to do.
Quote from: Bas on 22-June-11, 01:39:12
Why not use Windows Software RAID?? And boot of an SSD?
Makes you controller independent and it's a lot faster too
Also no >2TB problems.
Because that's exactly what we are not doing for our testing.

First PC Build: MSI P67A-G43 - Can't Boot From Windows 7 DVD

MB: MSI P67A-G43
HD: Seagate 1TB
DVD: HP 1260
CPU: Intel i5 2500K
I just built my first PC. In the BIOS I had it set to boot first from my DVD drive that has a 64-bit version of Windows 7 loaded. No matter what I tried, I received the message: "Reboot and Select Proper Boot Device"
So I have been on the phone with technical support, and they suggested I download a driver update, which I found HERE.
I have tried installing both the driver and the BIOS updates, but every time it says that the boot from the pen drive failed and to check the USB drive and ROM.
I've looked for answers all over the web, but the only ones I find assume that you've previously had Windows installed. This is a first boot though, and I really don't know what to do next. Can anyone help with this?
thanks!

If anyone would like to take a look at these OC settings that are default with my board as to a reason why it wouldn't be booting from the DVD drive or accepting the RAM, I would appreciate it.

P67A-G43 Won't POST

I’m at my wits end with this new build and need help, or a shoulder to cry on.
New build gives five solid beeps on POST…, no video.
Build is being done on a breadboard, so no issues with mobo shorts.
MSI P67A-G43 mobo, (times 2). (Thought first board was DOA, cross-shipped replacement.)
Intel i5-2500K didn’t work in either board, picked up an i5-2500 locally thinking the unlocked 2500K wasn’t supported with the boards’ BIOS.
Four different power supplies, using 4 or 8 pin secondary (CPU/ATX) connectors in addition to the main power connector.
Four different sticks of DDR3 1333 in every imaginable slot configuration.
Two sticks of DDR3 1666 in every possible configuration.
Two different video cards.
Reset CMOS numerous times.
Tried booting with video card out, same with RAM, no joy.
I’m stumped.
Any thoughts?

Sorry to see that one person can have so much trouble with two boards
At this point I would try my components on a known good board. Yes, I know, where to go to ? Friends, family maybe a helpful local PC store/supplier.
The likelihood of two bad boards is pretty remote, but, although it is highly unlikely, nothing is ever impossible. Its time to test everything individually by exchanging parts with a working system.
Trust that the bottle of wine might have brought some more insight along with it.

New builder: P67A G43 won't POST (I think..)

Hey all, this is my first post, and incidently I'm also building my first pc. I've run into a problem and I don't know what to do! My rig is as follows:
Mobo: MSI P67A G43
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K
GPU: MSI N560GTX Ti
RAM: 2x4gb Corsair XMS3 (1333)
PSU: Seasonic x650
I have NOT yet installed an OS, as I havent picked one up yet.
When I turn on the computer, I get 3 SHORT beeps: the first 2 are the same pitch, the 3rd beep is higher. Right after, the "msi military class II" logo flashes on the screen. Immediately after that, I get the following message: "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media...etc,etc". I can enter the bios, however I have to frantically hit the DEL key after turning on the comp, and there is no screen or message that says to do so during the above process. As this is my first build, I'm not well versed on what exactly a POST screen is, or if my specific mobo even has one.
Are these beeps normal? Am I supposed to see a POST screen at some point? I am aware that MSI boards give beeps based on the number of USB devices connected, however I get the same beep code without any USB devices connected.
EDIT: Google has brought me to other threads on this same topic, and it has been suggested that memory could be an issue, or an overheating CPU. When I am in the bios there is a memory test app available, and it indicates that my RAM is fine. As well, the bios indicates that my CPU is running at 32-33C. So I don't think that either of these things is an issue, but Im new and could be completely wrong.

1.Pull out video card and RAMs and reinsert carefully, confirming it's not loose. Visually inspect CPU cooler during.
2.Check if you've connected all the power cables to MoBo and Video card. Reinsert them, to confirm tight connection.
3. don't clear CMOS so often
4. no need to manically hit Del button, just wait for the beep, and when you see the keyboard diodes flash, start pressing slowly ~ 2x pre second for example
5. are you sure about the beep code? i haven't heard different pitch beeps before
6. go into BIOS, load defaults, and check all 66 items turn off green power and other exotic enhancements for now
But seriously - all devices should be properly recognized - CPU,RAM, HDD and optics, check IDE/SATA/AHCI settings, temperatures, voltages, boot sequence, integrated peripherals, etc.
Double check CPU clock, multiplier, FSB speed, memory speed and ratio.
7. get a live Linux or Windows CD to boot up the system directly from CD
8. start Aida64 HWMonitor from USB (or what you prefer) to again confirm temps/voltages and FSB, CPU and memory speed... and RAM size/configuration properly recognized
9. Start testing system stability with Prime95 (or else), and be around to watch the temperatures
10. test video card for artifacts. I used AtiTool for mine, not sure what is good for 560GTX?
If fail, start pulling out you components -
one RAM stick out -test again
video card out - test again with Intel's GPU.

MSI P67A-G43 (B3) Won't Finish Boot after KK1 VBIOS!!!!! Win 7 x64

I recently installed the bios updates using the MSI Update and now the computer won't fully boot!!!! I tried clearing CMOS like 3 times and nothing! It makes it to the starting windows screen with the spinning dots but only the first red dot shows up and it freezes, even the repair windows freezes at the black screen.. The Bios live update also freezes at the black screen. PLEASE HELP!!!

what's the mainboard bios version?

Z68A-GD65 (B3) Intel SRT will not work.

I have been trying to get Intel SRT to operate for a few days now and have run out of ideas.
I have read through Intel's instructions and instructions on any number of hardware websites (such as Anandtech, HardOCP, etc) and have followed these instruction to the letter with no luck.
I have the Z68A-GD65 (B3) with EFI/BIOS # 22.4 (latest official), a OCZ Agility3 60 GB SSD I am trying to use as a cache for My OS drive; a 500GB Seagate 7200.12 drive.
The process I went through (a few times now) is as follows:
-I have SATA set to RAID in the BIOS
-Leave SSD unplugged
-Installed Win7 on the Seagate
-Installed all drivers for the MB and other hardware
-Installed Intel RST application (various versions, but currently have 10.5.0.1027 installed as it appeared to be the one that others online had the most luck with)
-shut computer down, plug in the OCZ SSD
-boot to windows and open Intel RST app
What invariably happens is that there is no "Accelerate" button in the app (this is RST's way of activating SRT [ugh- acronym overload]).
If I install an additional HDD the "Create" button shows up to set up a new RAID volume, but even this won't show up with just the OCZ SSD and OS HDD installed. The SSD is always recognized by RST, but it won't give me the option to "Accelerate".
This is one of the features that made me buy a Z68 based board and not being able to get it working is driving me nuts (and wasting a lot of time as well).

Yup! You are 100% correct. I had it wrong. That's what I get for speed reading the articles about it. Here are some thoughts, possible the SSD is faulty or a firmware update needed? Any compatibility issues noted at the OCZ Website or forums? Any insight as to initialization or compatibility problems at the Intel Website or forum? It might also not be a bad idea to get MSI Tech Support involved in this as well. They will want to be aware of any hardware incompatibilities so it can be looked at & a resolution reached quickly at their end. http://support.msi.com/

MSI P67A-G43 and Call of Duty 2

I recently buyed one of this mother boards and i cant play the COD 2 multiplayer mode, an error message occurs in codmp_s.exe... XP, Vista and 7 always the same problem...

Quote from: Bernhard on 24-April-11, 16:09:30
Please provide your full system configuration. >>Posting Guide<<
You can play COD2 in single player mode? If so, then I would think that you have a game set-up problem with the mutli player mode.
Just do a search on the net for that error message and you will see you are not alone. Go to the game manufacturers site and check for game updates. It could also be related to direct X installation.
Hi, i think could be a drivers problem, i just replaced my motherboard and processor only and i never had any problem before...

P67a-g43(b) bios

hello. maybe someone can help me out. my son got a p67a-g43 motherboard from a classmate in his high school pc class several months ago. the classmate removed the old processor from it before my son got it and my son wants to put a i5-3570k processor on it, but the bios was still at version 1.b, which from what i read is way too old for this processor. i was able to make an interface to talk to the bios eprom with my parallel port and upgrade the bios to 1j, but of course that is not what the processor needs either but i was able to confirm my interface worked because the file i wrote and read back was the same as the original v1.j file.
i dont have an older processor to bring this board up to be able to do a windows bios upgrade to v 5.1 and the kid who my son got the board from sold the processor, and i cant afford to send it off to be upgraded, especially where i can do it myself. what can i do to get a bin/rom version of the v5.1 file so i can write it myself in dos to the eprom???? my son saved up $800 over 8 months to be able to outfit this board to run and i hate to have him wait longer to buy another board. i sent a msg off to msi asking for a non exe version of the bios update, but so far no response. if the exe was extractable on a machine other than the one i am trying to fix it would be no problem, but its not...... i dont have and cant afford an older processor just to fix this board. can anyone help or suggest anything before my son goes and buys another board from a diff manufacturer?

my son is in the only computer class in the area but they dont teach the hardware repair/flashing part in the class. they focus more on what to buy and networking, its really a sham. anyway i can program it, i just need the file. as i said the v5.1 file on the msi site is in exe self extracting format. it asks to be on a usb drive. so when i put it on a usb drive in another pc it then says it cant extract cause its the wrong machine. so i cant get the file out of it i need to be able to flash it. if i had the file in would be golden cause i could flash it in no time. i dont understand why msi released it only in a format that will only extract on the machine its meant for? i do understand some people will be careless and run a file not meant for their pc but it sucks for those of us who can do this themselves and cant get to the bin/rom file needed to solve a simple problem. if someone had a copy of the extracted file or had read thier eprom after flashing it with v5.1, my problem would be solved easily.

P67A-G43 reducing multipliers under load

I did a quick search of the forums, so apologies if this has been addressed, however:
I am running a P67A-G43 with the latest 1.12 (1C) bios in conjunction with a 2500K processor. When manually overclocking my machine through the UEFI interface, whenever I apply a full load to processor in instances such as Prime95, I can visibly see my multiplier pull back to 46x in CPUz and then cap itself there.
So far as I can tell, there are no ostensible parameters in the bios for speed/power limitting of the processor, so what gives, and how I do get around this issue?
Everything is happy @ 4.6ghz/2.8v's right now and torture test temperatures just crest the 60c mark. I've played around with C1E, Turbo Boost, and many other settings, but it all results in the same outcome -- partial load on 4 cores will allow 4.6ghz+, full load and it caps itself at a 46x multiplier.
Thanks in advance.

OK, I goofed, sure enough there is *one* extra field on the overclocking menu that you have to scroll down one tick to see
-overspeed protection: off
-power technology: off
-C-state: off
---IF I enable C-state, then I get the option to set the package C-state limit: c0, c2, c6 and then no limit
So not accustomed to these new UEFI's.
EDIT:
Turbo boost MUST be enabled to get the Long duration power limit (200w), Long duration maintained (1000ms), short duration power limit (250w), and then primary tubo power limit (0). For some reason, it won't let me adjust these values, especially the primary turbo power limit, where 0 = minimum. It's also a bit peculiar because when I have turbo boost disabled, the processors still dynamically scale.
EDIT 2: figured out how to change those values. In MSI's great wisdom they elected to make you manually key in the values you want... unlike anywhere else in the UEFI and no mention of it in the manual. Right now I have the above values set to 200/1000/250/255 <- max. Still cuts the mult. back to 46x

(Solved) P67A-G43 Won't OC After BIOS 5.4 (BIOS Shows OC, but CPU-Z Does Not)

After upgrading a P67A-G43 with BIOS 5.4 in preparation for a 3770k, the existing 2600k doesn't OC.
Setting the CPU ratio in BIOS shows the correct ratio in top right stats and in the ratio setting and, after disabling graphic splash, the correct multiplier is even shown on the POST. However, CPU-Z in the OS and benchmark results show only the stock 3.4.
In normal mode I tried 35, 37, 40, 44. OCG mode has the same problem. Although it show 42, CPU-Z shows only stock.
I can down-clock fine (and CPU-Z shows the correct down-clock ratio), but going above 3.4 is a non-starter.
[SOLVED]
If you disable Turbo, the core limits are not shown in the CPU settings. You have to enable Turbo, set the core limits, and then disable Turbo.

No sound on P67A-G43

I can't get the back panel sound to work on the P67A-G43 board. Windows recognizes the realtek driver and shows that there is an output signal when I play music or a video with sound.
I am pretty sure that I installed the realtek driver correctly. It detects when I plug in my speakers or microphone.
I've tried all four combinations of the advanced options and nothing worked. I am getting some sort of signal through my microphone, but I can't figure out what it is. My case does not have front audio panels so I can't test those. I've tested with both headphones and speakers that I know work.

I just streamed my screen to a different computer. Other computers viewing the stream can hear my audio just fine. My mic-in gets a static signal even if i plug my headphones into the microphone jack. At this point I think I might just have a faulty board. I suspect my front audio would work fine if I had a case that supported it. If I can't think of anything else to try soon I'll probably just get a replacement.

Additional information:
This is happening during an external build test with only the CPU, Memory, and GPU installed. The CPU is a i5-2500k, the memory is Kingston 4Gx2 KHX1600C9D3K2/8G, the GPU is a Saphire Radeon HD 6870. When I plug in a monitor I get no display information.
This is the VGA test report for the motherboard: http://us.msi.com/file/test_report/TR1_2342.pdf
My GPU is not listed but when I used PCPartPicker I was under the impression that it would only pick compatible parts for my computer. It's looking like I need a different mortherboard but I would like a confirmation.

Wow I feel really stupid now. So when I used both of the 6pin power plugs I got a single post beep.
Thank you for all your help now if you have a little more time I wouldn't mind additional help.
When I start it up and successfully get the single post beep, on the monitor it says "CPU or Memory Changed !!!" and says press f1 to run setup or press f2 to load default values and continue.
is this normal?
