P67 and Ivy looks to become a "Matter of principle" support issue.
HU16E already mentioned it and some logical thought will indicate that there is no real benefit.
The equivalent CPU will cost the same as the current SB CPU. You expend that money to get a 3 to 5% increase in performance. Thats it.
The real benefit of Ivy is the integrated GPU performance gain which is estimated to be up to 30%. No benefit for P67.
G3 support. No benefit for P67 as the board hasn't got the supporting technology.
Until Ivy is actually in the market, all this "hear-say" and speculation about support is a waste of time.
ok i understand but i still can not understand the way of bios updating because it is too messy i have been using asus motherboards since ever their bios update utility is so simple and nice but i just can not understand how to do it with msi why it is not easy :( because not everyone can understand these all stuff may be it is easy for you guys but it's case sensitive so i would like to have some simple way of bios updating.

P67A-G45 | BIOS flashing - PC stopped working

Hello guys,
I checked compatibility matrix and tried to upgrade BIOS (7673v51.zip) on my MSI P67A-G45. Flashing went smooth and finished successfully, but afterwards PC restarted and wont boot. it looks like that PC turn on for 1-2 seconds and turn off immediatelly. No errors or beeps. I can see that CPU is stuck in power phase 1. any ideas?

list full system specifications, see>>Posting Guide<<
also remove power cord and do >>Clear CMOS Guide<<

Is BIOS 1.B the latest one for P67A-G45 (B3)?

is BIOS 1.B the latest one for P67A-G45 (B3)?

where in the manual says that? cant find it.
Excerpt from manual;
Important
DDR3 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR2, and the DDR3 standard
is not backwards compatible. You should always install DDR3 memory modules in
the DDR3 DIMM slots.
In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules of the same type
and density in different channel DIMM slots.
To ensure a successful system boot-up, always insert the memory modules into the
DIMM1 first.

does this mobo even support 1600mhz ram without overclock? i choosed it because i was told it could i mean, if i put 1600mhz rams, will it be that speed directly or must i change some settings first? if so, which settings?
The thought process is not quite correct. The mainboard specifications say it will support up to 2133 OC right? It is the CPU IMC that only natively supports DDR3 1333 speed. Anything over 1333 is overclocking pure & simple. If the RAM is 'properly' programmed, it should default & work without having to change any settings.

What to do with bricked motherboard? MSI P67A-G45 AFTER FLASHING LAST BIOS

I flashed MSI P67A-G45 by the last BIOS for IB CPU. The flashing goes twice with intermediate reset. Before I flashed P67A-C43 by the same version from MSI, and all was Ok.
I flashed new BIOS from version 1I under DOS mode. There was a problem with pen drive and I used hard disk without USB pen drive. That was my error. The exe file started and flashed BIOS normally and then after reset started flashing Intel ME firmware. I thought all is going ok and the image is taken from HDD. But after the process finished and motherboard reset, it didn't start at all. The fan starts and stops, LED blinks and motherboard behaves the same way even without CPU. What can I do? Is there any way, suppose, using a EEPROM writer? I have one and I can take the BIOS chip off and flash by old version of BIOS. What can You advise? Maybe the second flash process writes another chip - can You tell me about it. Please advise how to manage this problem.
I received no help from support. I'm not a novice - I work in repair center and have soldering station etc. Can You explain me anything about second flashing process? I need only information and I will be able to manage th :lol_anim:is problem.

P67A-G45 Fan Control Problem After BIOS Update

My old BIOS version was 1.8. I could control my fans in BIOS(50-75-100% RPM). Also SpeedFan tool was working perfectly, I could change fan speeds freely.
I just installed MSI Live Update and tool updated my BIOS version to 1.E(CPU-Z says v1.14) without any problem. But when I entered BIOS/Hardware Monitor I saw that fan control is disabled. Both sys fan 1 and sys fan 2 are stuck in %65. SpeedFan doesn't working too.
CPU Smart Fan is okay, works fine but system fans are uncontrollable now.
My Hardware;

Flash back to the BIOS that worked for you and report your findings to MSI technical. >>How to contact MSI.<<
Use the forum flasher in the future. Its safer. >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<

P67A-G45 (B3) - i7-3770K BIOS compatibility

Hi there,
I'm about to be given a P67A-G45 (B3) by a friend, I'm looking to buy an i7-3770K. I've no idea what version of the BIOS is going to be installed as it may not have been updated.
Am I likely to run into issues if it's the stock BIOS? Will I need to update somehow?
Thanks for your help in advance,
Dan

If the current bios doesn't support Ivy Bridge the board won't even post if you put a 3770K in there. No bios out of the box supports Ivy Bridge so without it having been updated you are out of luck. You need a Sandy Bridge cpu to do it yourself or ask a PC-shop to do it for you.

P67A-G45 3T drive only formatting to 746Gig

P67A-G45 3T drive only formatting to 746Gig
Converted partition to GPT, still 746Gig. Saw other posts for firmware update to UEFI, but could not find that in my downloads for this motherboard. About a year ago I updated my BIOS, and Live 6 Utility says that my system is up to date. What am I missing? Thanks for your help.

Thanks, yes I read that. It was one of the few concise posts on the issue. Once you got to the Intel site to get the driver. Intel tells you"
"IMPORTANT:
Before installing this application or requesting technical support from Intel, first contact your system manufacturer. They typically provide software which is specifically configured for your system. "
MSI has been updating other drivers even those that are from Intel. Why is MSI not seeming to endorse the use of this driver?
Thanks for your help?

MSI P67A-G45 Issue: Computer boots seconds after Shutdown or Sleep mode

Current Build:
MSI P67A-G45 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 3000 BX80623I52500K

Seagate Barracuda ST500DM002 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
Running Windows 7 64 bit Professional
Problem: Within days of building computer in January the computer started to automatically reboot seconds after shutdown or entering sleep mode.
Attempted Fixes:
-Total re-install of Windows + BIOS
-Updated BIOS via LiveUpdate
-Rolled back to initial BIOS that came with MB
-Changed between registry option of "PowerdownAfterShutdown" between "0" and "1"
-Disabled Wake-Up Events in BIOS
-Changed to OS controlled Wake-Up events
-Changed "Restore after AC Power Loss" to off in BIOS
-Ordered a new PSU, replaced PSU
Regardless the fix, if I try to shutdown - the computer reboots within a few seconds. If I try to put it in sleep mode, it boots right back up. The only way to get the computer to shut off is by manually turning off the PSU.
I've seen that there have been frequent power-cycle issues with this particular motherboard in comments on newegg.com, just wondering if this issue has been encountered and if there is a fix available?

Quote from: Bernhard on 17-February-12, 00:10:35
Is this with no case wire connections to any of the headers? i.e. if you start it by shorting the on/off pin headers with a screwdriver tip.
Yeah, as shown here.
http://www.computer-how-to-guide.com/motherboard-troubleshooting/motherboard-post-test-how-to/
Shorted on with flathead, boots up fine. After flipping off the PSU to turn it off and then flipping the PSU back on, the dang thing waits a few seconds and boots right back up. No short required. At this point I think a ghost might be living in my computer.

Unable to update P67A-G45

Hello all,
I have been running my P67A-G45 (B3) based system for over a year now with no issues. Every few months I check MSI's site for BIOS updates and have been flashing via the HP Flashdrive utility. Ive used this method several times with no errors.
Im currently running BIOS 1.12 dated 7-22-2011 and I want to update to version 1.I
When I run the flash (booting into DOS via flash drive) I get the following error:
"ROM file ROMID is not compatible with existing BIOS ROMID"
Is there something im doing wrong? or is the MSI website linking to the wrong BIOS?

This is weird. If you mentioned that you update your BIOS every few months, your last BIOS version should be version 1.H dated 13-01-2012.
For the board, P67A-G45 (B3), there was never an official BIOS of 1.12 dated 7-22-2011, the only two BIOS versions that were available between April to October were version 1.B dated 14-04-2011, and version 1.D dated 04-10-2011.
Check this link for all P67-G45 (B3) BIOS and release dates > http://www.msi.com/product/mb/P67A-G45--B3-.html#/?div=BIOS
I suggest you double check your board details again.

P67A-G45 (B3) and Asus R9270-DC2OC-2GD5

I'm having essentially the same problem as the OP in this thread: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=175787.0.
In my case, however I have an Asus R9270-DC2OC-2GD5 that I'm trying to get to work in a P67A-G45 (B3).
My current AMI BIOS version is 1.9, which was published in March of 2011. I suspect, as in the other thread, that the BIOS is probably the issue.
The card should be compatible with my motherboard, right? If so, does anyone happen to know which version of the BIOS I should flash to. I would assume the latest official release (1.J) but thought I'd ask just in case.

So any GTX 6xx card will work with my current motherboard?
If that's the case, I'll probably go with a GTX 660, as it's extremely close to the AMD card in terms of price and performance.
I've never felt that my homebuilt machine has been absolutely 100% stable, and though I've always suspected that it may just be my current AMD Radeon HD6850 not playing well with the rest of my setup, I would nevertheless feel a little wary of flashing the BIOS.

MOVED: P67A-G45 Windows 8 Overclock Speedstep Issues

Quote from: celltech on 24-October-12, 21:13:49
So my bad...there is an Intel Turbo Mode setting under the OC tab. It was enabled and I tried to disable it. No change...
So then I started turning off C1E and C-State stuff. That only made it worse. According to CPU-Z the CPU was getting full voltage all the time. At least with C1E/C-States enabled the voltages will back off with no load on the CPU.
The Win 8 Task Manager is very strange. It is showing the frequency bouncing around 3.3-4.2 while CPU-Z shows it hard locked at 4.2 I am not sure what the Task Manager is using for its calculations. But even the Task Manager hard locked at 4.2 with everything disabled.
I have the same board (P67A-G45) and I am having the same problem. When I set the multiplier in the BIOS, the CPU will bounce between 3.3GHz and whatever I set the multiplier to. I am running the V1.18 BIOS. With Windows 7, I could set the multiplier to whatever I wanted, enable C-States, and the CPU would throttle down to 16x without any issue or any interaction from me.
You can use ThrottleStop to check the multiplier more accurately then CPU-Z. Also in ThrottleStop, you can click "Set Multiplier" -> "Power Saver" -> "Turn On" and the CPU will run like a champ at 16x multiplier, so its definitely possible. This 16x get reported in CPU-Z and in the Windows Task Manager as well. Once you disable Power Saver, its back to 33x + multiplier land.
I hope a solution to this will be found, seems really silly to install a new OS and have CPU multiplier issues...

P67a-g45 two POST tests?

I have a p67a-g45 board
core i5 2500
16gb kingston ram (off the qvl)
geforce 9800
wd 500gb hdd
lg blu ray drive
Ok ive built many computers in the past, but this is the first one ive had that either runs two post or is experiencing an issue. It starts on boot and about 10 seconds later it gives two rapid beeps, and about 3 seconds later a normal POST beep. Its currently running an initialized ubuntu server, and it seems fine, but i have nnot had a chance to do any sort of setup or config yet. I just didnt know with the new click bios if this was normal, or is something causing it an error which it is recovering from?

its a single boot system, and the bios says theres 2 usb hubs and 1 mouse, but it still gives 2 beeps even if theres an additional usb cd/dvd drive plugged in as well. Ive gone with msi for every graphics card ive ever purchased, but this is my first mobo with them. Ive never had anything like this occur with the asus or gigabyte boards ive used.

Overclocking p67a-g45

Hello, everyone,
I'm just assembled my new 2500k/p67a-g45 system, and I was looking forward to attempting OCing for the first time. According to all the guides, I should change the CPU voltage but there is no option to change it in the BIOS. Does anyone have this MB, and could they possibly point me to a solution? The BIOS version is latest - 1.E0. Thanks!

In a situation that a mainboard has no other option than the Auto (default) setting for CPU V., & a BIOS update is not offered to enable such a feature, then all one can do is OC to the highest multi that can be set that it will remain stable under load.

MSI P67A-G45 (B3) boot/loop

Hi, just got all components for my pc and i installed everything. My problem is wheni press the power switch, everything starts fine and the fans spin up and the LED's on the board are fine but after 4-5sec it shuts itself off and tries the exact same process again. To troubleshoot i removed RAM, Video card, HD... just have CPU, cpu fan but still getting same issue..
Here is the list of the components i have..
Intel Core i5 2500K Quad Core Unlocked Processor LGA1155 3.3GHZ Sandy Bridge 6MB
MSI P67A-G45 (B3) P67 ATX LGA1155 DDR3 2PCI-E16 3PCI-E 2PCI SLI CrossFireX SATA3 USB3 Motherboard

Sapphire Radeon Xtreme HD 5830 800MHZ 1GB 4GHZ GDDR5 PCI-E DVI HDMI Mini DisplayPort Video Card
here is a video i found... its similar to my problem

Straight power loop? Can't even get to BIOS? if so could try resetting the CMOS, also try a different DIMM and/or GPU (even keyboard, had a couple post where the power loop ceased after unplugging the keyboard) and possibly best try a different higher powered PSU...if you can get into BIOS raising the vCore can help eliminate the loop problem, but still indicates something is wrong if it takes to much vCore for successful boot, with a 2500k should be able to boot and run stock at 1.19-1.21 for 3.3GHz

MSI P67A-G45 (B3) Two DIM slots problem.

Hi, I just bought all my parts for my new computer. Everything is working fine, except that I have some problem with two of my DIM slots. When I insert my RAM into the slots on the right side (near CD-ROM) the PC reboots each 3 second. Do you know what may cause the problem? Is it the slot problem or something with the BIOS settings?
CPU: Intel i5 2500k 3.30 GHz
Mobo: MSI P67A-G45 (B3)
RAM: Corsair 2x2Gb 1333Mhz
PSU: XFX Pro 650W
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 6950
Kind Regards.

But I can normally boot into the Windows, if it would be the CPU problem then I guess the pc wont boot. I will check it just to make sure and I will post the result.
It has been seen here on the forum a number of times that the system will run with bent or broken CPU socket pins. As suggested, if not done so yet, remove the CPU & inspect the CPU socket for bent pins.
