P67A-GD55 Memory Query

In February I am emabarking on a new PC/System build.
The Motherboard will be the MSI P67A-GD55, with the Intel I-5 2500K unlocked CPU.
PSU will be the Corsair HX650.
My question is, if I put in 2x2GB DDR3 Dual Channel Corsair Memory sticks with a voltage of 1.65V, will it be ok for this mother board?
Thanks in advance.

I just ordered two of these and will be getting them on Monday.
Here is the alternative.  http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/listparts.aspx?model=P67A-GD65
Keep the change, as they say in the classics. 
Thanks zsde
Thing is I have changed my plan and have decided to go with the P55-CD53 board.
Already made up my basket for ordering on Feb.16th.
Have a look:-

  • 8GB of RAM Installed, only 4GB detected/used by BIOS/Windows 7 (with P67A-GD55)

    Let me start off by saying that I'm not very good with computers. At all. I know a little bit about them, but I am by no means an expert. That said, I have 8GB of RAM installed on my motherboard, spread out across 4 sticks. However, upon looking at my BIOS and my Windows Resource Monitor, it declares that I only have 4GB of RAM installed and usable. This is what I know so far:
    - This issue has been prevalent as long as I've had my computer, and by extension my motherboard and my RAM sticks, so this issue isn't recent.
    - I do have a 64bit version of Windows 7. I've checked and double-checked, and I'm 99.5% positive that it is.
    - Speccy, a 3rd party program designed for checking system specs, declares that I do, in fact, have 8GB installed.
    - I don't think that the RAM is bad because the BIOS still does pick up on different statistics of the RAM that are in the slots; it just fails to register the actual fact that they're there.
    System Specs:
    OS: Windows 7 64bit SP1
    CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K  @ 3.30GHz
    RAM: Patriot PSD32G133K 4x2GB DDR3 @ 498MHz
    Motherboard: MSI P67A-GD55 P67 LGA 1155
    HDD: 977GB SAMSUNG SAMSUNG HD103SJ ATA Device (SATA)
    Optical Drive: LG DVDRAM GH24NS50 ATA Device
    GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6870 1GB VRAM
    PSU: Cooler Master 750 Watt
    BIOS Version: E7681IMS V1.5
    Now this is where it gets interesting: My motherboard has 4 DIMM slots for the RAM, and the motherboard (I assume by default) works in dual-channel mode. This means that DIMM 1 and 3 work together and so do DIMM 2 and 4, which most of you probably understand. However, filling up all 4 slots only gives me half the RAM. So I remove the RAM from slots 2 and 4, and it results in all 4GB of RAM being detected. Then, I add in each other RAM stick one at a time, and it fails to register both. So I remove the RAM from slots 1 and 3, and keep the RAM from slots 2 and 4, and it ends up in all 4GB being registered.
    I feel like the answer should be directly in front of me, but from endless Google searches and posts on other forums, I have ended up at a dead end. I'm completely clueless, so I could really use some help. 
    Any and all help would be appreciated.
    Also, if this is the wrong forum for this, feel free to move it wherever.

    What is your current UEFI/BIOS Version?
    The usual cause of such problems is (apart from bad memory slots or a defect of the processor's memory controller) a contact problem between the boards CPU Socket contact pins and the CPU's contact pads.  Broke or bent pins are one explanation, in other instances a heatsink that is fastened to tight can also cause such issues.
    I'll have the BIOS version up in a moment, but I'll see about diagnosing if one of those problems might just be what is my problem. Any tips on doing that?
    Also, BIOS version is up in the OP now.

  • P67A-GD55 (B3) Wont Post

    Hi guys, This has been my first build with msi board and has turned out to b a pain in the u kno what lol.
    I wanted a Sandybridge upgrade so got all my new components delivered the other day. core i5 2500k, msi P67A-GD55 (B3) and 8gb (2x4gb) corsair vengeance 1600 ddr3.  and after installing it all in my case, i switched the system on and it came on for a min or so then it turned of then back on only stayin on for a second then rebootin over n over till i unplug the system.
    I have reset bios on many occasions even removed cmos battery for over 12 hours and no joy. Also i have removed memory and tried usin just the 1 module in every slot, used other module by itself too.
    I have a OCZ 780watt PSU, GTX 480, X-FI Forte, G.Skill Falcon 64gb SSD and 2x 1tb Samsung f3 drives
    Please help guys
    Thanx

    Well I have phoned up scan and they have issued me RMA number.  I dont have access to additional RAM, Have since built system in and outside case with only cpu and 1 stick or ram still boot loopin so will send board bk to scan. Thanks guys for your responses 

  • BIOS 4.1 - P67A-GD55

    I recently upgraded my BIOS to version 4.1.  Bad decision, if it ain't broke don't fix it right?
    The previous BIOS versions have not given me overclocking issues. In 4.1, if I set the clock multiplier 45, the BIOS reports the O/C is in affect (4.5GHz). However CPU-Z shows my clock speed as 3.3GHz if I boot into Win 7 (64-bit).  I'm in "standard mode" for the bios setup.  Any suggestions?  I don't get why my configuration settings are not being utilized.  Is CPU-Z not reading things correctly?
    I also tried O/C Genie and CPU-Z still reads 3.3GHz as the clock speed.  Is the BIOS too new for these programs so they default to the stock clock speed as a reading?
    Is there any way I could downgrade my BIOS? I tried to flash it and the older versions are not recognized.
    Tried clearing the CMOS by pressing and holding the button on the back of the mobo with the PSU unplugged.  Still same results.
    Also, I have screen shots, but how do I attach them with the img tags?
    CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K (3.3 GHz)
    Memory: 2xG.Skill F3 12800CL9-4GBRL (8GB Total)

    It's actually a good thing it didn't flash. Once you update to the Ivy UEFI/BIOS and ME8, you are stuck with it unless a method is developed to be able to restore ME7, the old Sandy line of BIOS's, and both chips for boards with have dual.

    Use a hosting service such as Photobucket.
    My guess is the settings in CPU Features are all wrong and the root of the problem.

  • P67A GD55 Rev B - Upgrade Bios Question

    To be honest, this post supposed to be a private message to Svet, but turned out a newbie like me who just joining the forum is not allowed to send PM...so apology if this questions are being asked so many times already:
    Dear svet,
    Really need your help in clarifying something, to make it short here are my questions:
    First here are my PC Specifications:
    MSI P67A-GD55 rev B
    Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB XMP Enabled
    PSU Corsair X750W
    Intel Sandy Bridge i5 2500k
    OS Windows 7 x64
    1. I have upgraded my GD55 rev B bios to the latest bios available here: msi.com/product/mb/P67A-GD55--B3-.html#/?div=BIOS
    which foolishy I didn't read the warn that it will not work proeperly for Sandy Bridge
    2. The bios update/flash was a success, now I have the ver II click bios, completely different with the first version. With this bios I managed to OC to my previous OC speed (4.2GHz in OC Setting by changing it into 42 multiplier and set the Vcore to 1.35)
    3. The reason that I updated my bios in the first time was I often experience 0x50 error while gaming certain games, and I thought upgrading bios is one of the solutions for it (after trying to change my RAM, changing my GPU, and my PSU to no avail)
    4. Then I stumble to this post of yours: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=164135.0
    with some fix in the 434 version states like this: "05.Fix system reset on 0x55 issue when use Sandy Bridge G440 CPU and install two 4G memory."
    I am completely not sure whether this is related to my 0x50 BSOD or not, but really hoping that it is.
    So my question is, should I upgrade/downgrade to your first post BIOS? (E7681IMS.434) or should I upgrade/downgrade to the latest beta 439 Bios (E7681IMSv439.rar) as the fix in 434 are included in 439?)
    Thank you so much in advance for any help...
    Regards,

    Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 09-April-13, 15:26:46
    While waiting for Svet to respond, I will tell you that BSOD 050 is not enough DRAM V. being applied. It's rather a shame you didn't open a thread in the regular part of the forum, or the OC section of the forum asking for assistance 'before' flashing an Ivy support UEFI/BIOS. 
    That CPU is most likely capable of OC'ing to 42X easily on Auto CPU voltage while maintaining all the power saving features. VDroop set to Low or 100% depending on the available settings.
    What is X.M.P. setting the DRAM V. at? If 1.50v's, to solve your BSOD, probably would have just required raising the DRAM V. to about 1.575v's or maybe even less manually. Rather than using X.M.P., the DRAM Frequency setting could have been changed manually to 1600.
    Yes, all newer final or Beta versions will have previous release improvements incorporated.
    Thank you for the reply...forget to delete the "dear Svet" part as it was copied from once private message intended 
    To be honest, I see myself rather as a silent reader than an active poster...so I would really try to avoid posting due to English isn't my first language....if that even make sense...
    I think I have read quite a lot of 0x50 BSOD (CTD errors to be exact) in other forums to...have tried what people had posted as solutions for them...and still to no avail, hence my foolish and rushed attempt in flashing the bios...please do mind that the current bios is quite stable in my opinion, despite the same BSOD (CTD) in the certain game I have mentioned in my first post...
    I have followed OC guide and benchmark in other forum which show each of its poster their OC settings and result (specifically i5 2500k series), and I have tried around 1 week to safely say that my unfortunate chip can only handly a stable 24/7 4.2GHz in that volt...i'm so lucky 
    and for XMP volt, I have no idea to be honest, I just enable it in the bios, will really look at it later on...
    tl'dr thank you so much for the new insight of how to solve the 0x50! really appreciate it....If i can remember correctly, I have tried to use the default DRAM setting (without using XMP enabled) and still got the 0x50 CTD....but trying your suggestion is still a worth a try...will try this when I get home...thank you!

  • P67A-GD55 can't access bios.

    Had problem earlier to access bios using an msi p67a gd43, today i changed in to a p67a gd55 and i have the same problem. When i start it counts "98","99","A3" and then i press ALT and it just locks saying "starting setup".
    I'm able to boot in to windows 7 64bit without any problem.
    My setup is:
    CPU: i5 2500k
    GFX: Palit Geforce GTX460 768mb
    RAM: 2x UMAX DDR3 1600 oc 2gb
    PSU: Zumax 630W
    I've unplugged all HDD and DVD.
    So far I've tried to Clear Cmos with button and also jumper/battery method. Bios was 1.8 stock but flashed it anyway to 1.8.
    Switch slots for RAM.
    Removed the moderboard from chassi so it had no metal contact.
    Changed PSU.
    Only things i havent been able to change is ram and gfx so i suppose one of them is causing this problem, as for the memory im not able to get any information from it in sisoft sandra, in cpu-z it cant identify the brand.
    Anyone had this or similare problem, and what did you do?

    Quote
    I hearby would like to inform all people that cetus UMAX DDR3-1600 OC is NOT suitable with MSI's P67 chipset.
    It would be beneficial if you could advise the forum what memory you are using now that does work. Makes it easier for others that are considering memory for their boards. 

  • P67A-GD55, RipJaws & Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B - compatible?

    Hi all,
    Am thinking of upgrading my system with the following components:
    P67A-GD55 motherboard
    G.Skill RipJaws memory (2 x 4GB)
    Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B cooler
    Does anyone know for sure if these are all compatible - that is, the memory will fit with the cooler attached? Is it OK if the cooler covers 2 memory slots, and I only use the outer slots? (Obviously I'd rather avoid this but it would be acceptable)
    Thanks in advance,
    P.

    Suggest you consider the Zalman that HU16E is using and then rather get some low profile mem modules like the Crucial Ballistix instead or Corsair XMS3
    You did not say what exact RipJaws these are.

    Hi, i have a bit of problem after trying to flash my bios to E7681IMS.1J0 (v1.19).
    I used the USB flash tool (mode 1), and used a archive posted on the forum. Everything seemed fine, "update completed succesfully", i shut down computer and cleared CMOS, went into bios and loaded optimized defaults.
    In Bios I could see the updated Bios version. So in Bios everything was working fine. But after i saved my settings and tried booting into windows i only get to "windows starting", then blue screen and computer restarts. I tried to do another Cmos reset but it didnt work, and the same thing happend a couple of more times. Right now im in a loop where the computer starts for a couple of seconds and then restarts almost immediatly, so i cant go into BIOS.
    Any help is appreciated!

    EDIT:
    Memory: Corsair 8GB (2x4096MB) CL9 1600Mhz XMS3 CMX8GX3M2A1600C9
    When the computer was new i had problem with the XMP profile. The computer would randomly crash in games or when browsing the web, but never any problems during startup. I had to change DRAM Frequency to 1333MHZ, i keept DRAM Voltage at 1.65v. With the CMOS reset, the DRAM Voltage is set to about 1.48v and 1333MHZ.   
    EDIT2:
    Changing DRAM voltage did not make a difference. Should i try to make the bios recovery: "How can I recover the BIOS on my MSI motherboard"?
    no the problem is not in BIOS, you no need bios recovery.
    Quote
    After disconnecting CD/DVD and HDD i am now able to enter BIOS.
    which one exactly? find the reason what cause you not to enter in bios setup
    about OS you may need OS reinstall since you are flashing from very old BIOS version to the latest one with ME7
    in some case it may need OS reinstall
    assume if everything else is set right: SATA Mode , and no stability issues

  • P67A-GD55 Won't Power On - Onboard Power Button Blinks

    I just built my Core i7 system with the P67A-GD55 motherboard and I'm having a problem.  I've got all my components installed and when I plug my power cord into my power supply the system won't turn on.  The power button on the motherboard repeatedly blinks green, but doesn't do anything.  My case power button won't do anything at all either.  I've read through the manual and searched through the forums and haven't been able to find an answer.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Mobo:  MSI P67A-GD55
    CPU: Intel Core i7-2600 3.4GHz
    RAM:  Patriot Gamer 2 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3-1600
    HDD1:  Crucial M4 64GB connected to SATA1
    HDD2:  Seagate 7200.11 500GB connected to SATA2
    PSU:  Silverstone ST60F 600W
    Video: ATI Radeon 4670 1GB

    PSU has 42 +12V amps on the single rail, so that shouldn't be a problem. Could you please check the green sticker on the BIOS chip to see which version the board was shipped with? Guessing 1.8 or 1.9? I have a feeling it is a RAM compatibility issue. The very newest BIOS's have improved support for both G.Skill & Patriot memory modules, but you have to get into the BIOS initially to set the RAM up manually to possibly get to the point of loading the OS for the BIOS update. To rule out a possible bad stick of RAM, try to start with each of them singularly in the first blue slot, & just one HDD, & with VGA installed.

  • P67A-GD55 boot stops at POST 99 w/ 1-long+2short beep code.

    Well subject line tells most of the story:
    P67A-GD55 boot stops at POST 99 in lower right of display and with 1-long+2short beep code.
    I've found a note somewhere on these forums that 99 code means Super IO initialization,   though I'm not sure if this is the checkpoint before or after that process.
    I've found generic information that suggests 1long+2short beep code indicates a video card failure.   
    I'm surprised that the manual for the MB doesn't list these codes, and that they weren't listed in the troubleshooting FAQ on the MSI site.   So I still wonder if it may mean something else.
    I've disconnected all the SATA connections,  and removed all pci cards except for the video card.   Guess I'll try disconnecting the front-panel usb connectors too in a moment, but I'm running out of ideas.
    With a EVGA GT520 video card,   I get these symptoms regardless of which pcie slot I put the card in.
    With a Galaxy 8400GS  the beep code is the same but no output is ever visible on the display.  It seems possible that I just need an adapter to use the other connector on this card to see the output though.
    With a EVGA 7800GT   the symptoms are the same as with the EVGA GT520
    If I try removing the memory sticks I get 3-long beeps followed by system shutting itself down.

    Run of the mil keyboard.    (has a logo with a circle containing a crescent containing a D).   Suppose I could switch to a usb keyboard around here somewhere.  
    Disconnected the logitec usb mouse that I had connected to the back panel with no change in symptoms.
    Toughpower-650 power supply (had been in use on a system that was running an athlon x64 and the GT7800GT graphics card.  
    2 sticks PNY DDR3 PC3-10666 4G  ("compatible with 1333MHz")   1 stick in each blue slot.
    No idea how to tell you the UFEI/BIOS version.    The manual says its "CLiCK BiOS"   but since I've never seen anything but 98,99 and _  displayed by the BIOS  I really don't know.
    Removing the case front panel USB connectors didn't change symptoms.
    Resetting the bios by the button at the back panel connectors (near keyboard connector)  didn't change anything. (although it did not cause  "system will boot automatically"  as a line in the manual might suggest.  
    Tried using the JBAT connector to clear the bios as well and likewise no change in symptoms.
    There are no peripherals connected other than case power switch, power LED and HDD LED at this point.    Somehow I don't expect much change from disconnecting LED's.    Case switch seems to be behaving normally in that it causes the boot cycle to start, and if pressed while the "99" is sitting there in corner of screen it causes machine to shut down.
    No SATA devices are connected to it since they won't really be useful untill can at least get to the BIOS.   The sata cables that would go to those devices are still connected to the MB.

  • P67A-GD55 DDR3 1600MHz?

    Hi there, I just bought an MSI P67A-GD55 mobo with 2500K and 2x2GB DDR3 OCZ Gold LowVoltage 1600MHz Cl8-8-8-24 but... I cant run it at 1600/Cl8...it wont even boot.
    I tried all the settings and the memory runs just fine at 1866MHz and Cl9-9-9-24 1,66V. No errors at linx, prime and other stuff and the uefi's memory test shows the memory is OK. (uefi 1,7 flashed with a bootable pendrive).
    The other problem is when I turn on my pc after a few hours of it being turned off (although I dont cut the power when its off) it wont boot or gives me bsod's like "cache manager..." or "memory management..." and the memory test fails. So i can boot with memory set @ 1333MHz Cl7, then after a reboot I can change the memory setting for 1600 Cl9 and then after another reboot (omg...) I can run it @ 1866MHz Cl9 without any errors again.
    Am I doing something wrong? I dont get it...
    Do I have to change the ddrVref setting? Its @ 0,8V.
    Its a great mobo, my 2500K can run @ 4,8GHz rock solid stable with just 1,25V but...those ddr's are giving me a hard time.

    Hi d593562, i use GD55 too, combined with PSD34G1333KH and ocing myram to 1600mhz with 1.63v seems like easy hehe passed IBT 15loop max level which was using max memory test for daily i use 2500k at 4.6ghz and for 4.8ghz i need 1.315v more than urs i guess u have great procie, bro.
    For ur problem, i need u to find is this mobo supporting for ur OCZ ram?? its weird since it cannot run at stock but can run at overclocked condition..... try run at 1600mhz at leave timing at auto.

  • P67a-gd55 multplier not dropping on idle

    OK guys. I have the MSI P67A-GD55 B3 mobo with the 1.11BIOS updated with an i7 2600k CPU
    I have noticed 1 problem with the current BIOS update and would like someone at MSI to test and possibly do another update for this if needed.
    I have the following setup
    C1E support enabled
    CPU ratio : 34
    Base Frequency : 1000
    Internal PLL Overvoltage : enable
    EIST : enable
    Internal Turbo boost : enable
    Adjust DRAM Frequency : 1600
    vDroop control : lower
    Intel C-State : enable
    If I do a factory restore and set this settings without touching the CPU ratio(multiplier), then the CPU multiplier will drop to x16 when idled.
    If I go back into the BIOS and change only the multiplier up to 60, keep going up to cycle through and set it to 34 again, then CPU multiplier no longer drop down when idle inside Windows.
    Ideally, I would like to over lock the CPU to x42 and still retain the abily tohave the multiplier drop when idle.
    Can someone look into this and test if it happens to them as Welland/or how to fix it.

    I think I know what you are talking about.  You want to use the Intel Speed Stepping feature (have the CPU idle at a low Freq, but then turbo boost to a higher freq).  For the MSI boards this is possible, but you can't do it via the CPU Multiplier.  You have to use the CPU Ratio Limit setting.  To help you, here is my bios settings.  My P67A-GD55 board is using Bios 1.9.
    The below settings allow my i2500K process or idle at 1.6Gig, but then turbo boost to 4.2Gig under heavy load.  Please be sure you have a good CPU cooler before doing any O/C'ing.

  • P67A-GD55 (B3) new 1.15 BIOS ERROR

    Hi
    I am owner of MSI P67A-GD55 (B3) motherboard. My system configuration is:
    Intel Core i5-2500K (not overclocked, turbo mode is off) (water cooled)
    Gigabyte GV-R695OC-1GD 1.0 graphics card
    4 x 4 GB Corsair Memory (Part Number: CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9)
    Corsair 90GB SDD Force III HDD + 1TB Samsung HDD
    Sound blaster X-Fi gamer
    I was using latest 1.14 (1.E0) BIOS version. I have Microsoft Sidewinder mouse and sometimes I had problems with my mouse. Yesterday I saw that you released new version of BIOS 1.15 which improves compatibility with gaming mouse. Without wasting time – I’ve download new 1.15 BIOS version – copy it to my booted Pen Drive. After restart system, I’ve booted form USB drive and uploaded new version of BIOS. Everything was fine till restart. System turned on for about 1,5 second, after that computer turned off. It happened every time. I’ve tried to clear CMOS by clicking on the „clear CMOS Button” on Back Panel. But it didn’t help. My computer turned on for 1,4 s and turned off. I’ve tried to “Clear CMOS Jumper”  with JBAT1 jumper. But it also didn’t help. I was really pissed off. I have been uploaded BIOS for long time and I never had problems like this. I thought that I would have to return motherboard to my store. But I tried something else. I’ve put out one of my memory module (form DIMM4), suddenly my computer turned off. So I’ve enter into BIOS and set everything to default. Everything was fine. I’ve restart system, booted up. After that I’ve turned off and put in my memory module and …………. my system turned on for 1,5 s after that turned off. I was really pissed. I’ve tried with others memory slots. DIMM1, 2, 3 – and it worked OK – but with DIMM4 for was error. So I’ve download 1.E (1.14) BIOS version and upload it. Now everything is working fine (with 4 memory modules loaded) but I have still problems with my mouse. There is some problem with this 1.15 BIOS version with 4 modules loaded – or just with Corsair memory. Does anybody had the same problem?
    P.S. Sorry for my English

    Exactly same problem here but with GSkill memory.

  • P67A-GD55 BIOS Update Fail

    I have updated my P67A-GD55 from J0 to 4.10. It was ok and from 4.10 to 4.20. Now, my pc does not work. What I did was;
    1. Downloaded bios from the MSI website
    2. Put onto a USB drive
    3. Flashed the BIOS via the menu in the BIOS
    4. PC rebooted and continued to install some things
    5. PC now, after reboot only nothing on screen, dvd drive makes a sound then reboots and keeps doing this.
    I have tried to clear CMOS by pin...Also tried by removing the battery for at least 10 minutes...And also tried by removing RAMs...No joy at all...Please help me.

    Try a full cmos clear, to make sure this occurs:
    1.) Unplug the machine
    2.) Remove the cmos battery
    3.) Hold the power button in for about 10 secs
    4.) Short the cmos clear pins
    Then try to boot the machine with 1 stick of memory installed.
    If you are unable to get the machine to post, you will need to:
    1.) Send the board to msi for reflashing. (If it is underwarranty, you would only need to pay for shipping to msi)
    >>How to contact MSI.<<
    2.) Take the board to a computer shop that has an spi programmer for reflashing. (Cost varies)
    3.) Possibly borrow an support ivy cpu (no gaurantee this will work, but free if it does) then flash back to me7 with a file we give you and reinstall your 2500k

  • HDD Freezing and dissapear with SSD + P67A-GD55

    Hello people
    I have just renove my computer and bought this:
    CPU                   QuadCore Intel Core i5 2500K, 3450 MHz (35 x 99)
    Motherboard   MSI P67A-GD55 (MS-7681)
    GraphicCard   NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti  (1024 MB)
    Memory            G Skill F3-12800CL9-2GBXL   2 GB DDR3-1600 DDR3 SDRAM
    Sound           Creative SB X-Fi XtremeMusic/Platinum Sound Card
    SSD               OCZ-VERTEX2 ATA Device  (SATA-II)
    I have just add also my old CorsairHX520W powersupply plus one Western Digital Green of 2TB and one Velociraptor of 300GB
    The thing is that when I finish of installing Windows 7 x64 and all the drivers, when I for example use intensely the Velociraptor it freezes and finally dissapear of my computer. And then after a lot of reboot i cant initiate Windows. I am desperate. I think is related with Intel RST drivers, SATA or ACHI.
    If you need to know I have install all in ACHI mode, Vertex2 in SATA0 port, Velociraptor in SATA1, and the GreenCaviar2TB in SATA3.
    Any suggestions or ideas to fix it? Thanks!

    Since the OP hasn't done a followup post since April, we don't really know the outcome. No indication if he had a B2 board or a B3. It would be best if you open a fresh new thread. Please include all the systems components.
    This can be further discussed in your own thread.
    Ok.
