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.

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,

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 Rev B3, When a new bios including Intel Raid Oprtion Rom 10.6.0.1091

P67A-GD55 Rev B3, When a new bios including Intel Raid Oprtion Rom 10.6.0.1091 ?
Hello,
I am the owner of a MSI motherboard P67A-GD55 (Rev B3).
The operating system Windows 7 Pro 64 bit is installed on a disk in AHCI OCZ Vertex 3120 Go SATA0 mounted on the port (version 3).
I get many bugs and blue screens.
This would be resolved with the latest driver Intel Rapid Storage Technology 10.6.0.1022.
It must been associated with a bios with the Intel RAID Option ROM 10.6.0.1091.
The latest bios for my motherboard is 1.E (or 1.14) version which includes Intel RAID Option ROM 10.5.0.1034.
Are there plans to release a new bios with the new ROM?
If not, is there a way to include the last Intel Option Rom in the bios 1.E?
Thank you in advance for your reply.
SM

P67A-GD55, long reboot when overclocking

Hi, I have the P67A-GD55 with an i5 2500k and the problem arises when I overclock: changing the vcore or the multiplier (with or without turbo, it doesn't matter) makes the system unable to reboot (in windows or save and reboot in the bios). It sits there doing nothing and the monitor off and the only way to "continue" is to press the power button for a few seconds. It's very annoying. What causes that?
Rest of the system:
Intel i5 2500k @ 4.3 (1.22v) done in bios
MSI P67A-GD55 BIOS 1.E, 7/SP1 64 bit
Corsair AX750 +12v@62A, +5v@25A, +3.3v@25A
G.SKILL Ripjaws X F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
Powercolor Radeon HD 5850
SB Audigy 2ZS
Vertex 2 60Gb
WD 1Tb Blue
Seagate 320Gb
Samsung SH-B123L
Corsair 650D

Quote
I don't want and won't let it on auto; the voltage was 1.3 and the temps rose also which I don't want.
In that case, is 1.22v's enough to make the system 100% stable at 43X under 'all' load requirements? There is a tradeoff here. CPU V. on Auto will preserve some power saving features & throttling. Setting manual will lock & fix the CPU V. & might not supply enough in a high CPU demand spike if not set high enough. What unsatisfactory CPU temp are we talking about at 1.3v's? Using the same CPU regardless of the mainboard it is on, will most likely net the same results. To run at a given speed, a CPU needs '?' amount of voltage.

P67A-GD55 impossible to read the post at boot

MSI P67A-GD55 Rev B3.

But ... But by pressing the pause button the screen does not stop at the post.
Is this an option that can be activated in the bios.

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.
CPU:i5-2400 3.1GHz 6MB Cache LGA1155 95W
Heatsink:Cooler Master Vortex PlusRR-VTPS-28pk-r1 connected to the CPU fan connector on MB.

P67A-GD55 Sata port multiplier compatibility

Hello!
I'm trying to figure out if any of the six sata ports on my P67A-GD55 are compatible with SATA port multipliers. I can't find any information on this anywhere.
The ports are two SATA 3 and 4 SATA 2.

No sir.
Not for us here on these MSI motherboards, and for the most part, not for anyone.
Intel wants ICH* chipset implementations to be point to point, for whatever reason.
They do not support PM, even though they are technically capable of it! Nice guys.
There are two different implementations of PM, one being the "real" Port Multiplier, so to speak.
You might want to do some research, ie. the difference between CBS (Command-Based Switching)
and FIS (Frame Information Structure) aka FBS. Just Google all those terms together like
"sata port multiplier cbs fis fbs switching" etc. and you'll find more information than you ever wanted to know.
Just kidding.
This will get you going: ATA Wiki @ kernel.org: SATA Hardware Features
While what you choose might depend on your specific PM Host controller in the box you want to hook up,
as a general guide I'd look at the cards that support FBS and have the most "yes" columns; at least AN, and things like NS/NQM are gravy.
You'll notice the one I mention that's on the P67A-GD65, the Marvell 91xx, it supports FBS & AN, and as I said above,
it works great with 4 drives on either port (SilImage SteelVine PM Host). I'm also partial to the Silicon Image SI3132 & 3124 cards,
they rock, and you can find cards based on them for under $20usd anywhere.
If you only have one PM Host you want to connect I'd say it's a no-brainer to go with the same manufacturer for the SATA card's chip.
Nothing says speedy and stable like a matched pair, right?
But to reiterate, no, you will not be connecting a port multiplier host to any of those motherboard ports.
With the Intel RST driver it will detect an "unknown" drive of a whopping 0 bytes capacity.
HTH!

Windows 8 secure boot on P67A-GD55

Hello to everyone
I want to know if MSI has already released a fix that enables to run Windows 8 secure boot on P67A-GD55 Motherboard. I already have the 1.19 version installed which it says it is not compatible with secure boot mode.
There are two BIOS versions 4.1 and 4.2 that I want to know if they enable to use the secure boot mode of Windows 8 on this motherboard, because it already has UEFI but at the same time says it is not compatible.
Thanks,

You have been linked to the latest release which showed up during this topic. You won't break anything if you follow the directions precisely.
Quote from: xmad on 29-January-13, 13:26:10
Full release out today. I posted it at the link below. Follow directions precisely and you must use the forum flash tool.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=164135.msg1214789#msg1214789
If mainboard won't even start or you have stability issues don't consider flashing bios as you'd have a good chance of bricking the system. If the board crashes while flashing you can use it as a paper weight.
Just install one stick of ram and make sure it is stable before trying to flash.

P67A-GD55 Replacement

Hello to everyone, I have a P67A-GD55 that is giving me several problems and I am planning to buy a Z77A-GD55 because they seem very similar. Could you please tell me if I can use the Core i5 2500 processor, the 1333 Memory and the PCi Express Video Card that is already installed in my old P67A-GD55. I checked the CPU Support for the Intel Core i5 2500 and is OK but I don't know if the other components will be supported as well.
In the specifications for this motherboard says it support Sandy Bridge Processors and Ivy Bridge and I want to know if I can run Windows 8 on this motherboard with a second generation Sandy Bridge processor.
Thanks

CPU yes as its supported!
RAM yes as it will be perfectly compatible as its standard DDR3 1333MHz!
Graphics Card yes as the board has a PCI-E 16x slot and it will run with your CPU at 16x gen2.0 speeds no problem!
so get one and just throw everything in from the faulty board that's giving you problems and your good to go!

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 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.

P67a-GD55 sound problem

I noticed today that the left audio channel was noticably quieter than the right. I unplugged the audio cable from the audio port and plugged it back in and it fixed it.
Does this sound like a hardware or software issue?
P67a-GD55
i5-2500k
8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600
Asus AMD 6870
650W PSU
WD 6gb/s 500MB HDD
Windows 7 64bit

Hm.. I doubt that was the issue. I was listening to some music and the sound was fine one minute, then the left speaker almost sounded muted the next. I tested the speakers using the windows and realtek control panels (where it plays a tone on each channel), and the left speaker was much quieter.
But when I unplugged it and plugged it in, after getting the jack detection notification, the problem fixed itself.
I'm using the latest drivers on MSI's website.

p67a-gd55

nvidia 9600gt

it work fine with 8gb at 1333mhz, but when i upgraded it to 16gb, it don't start anymore and loop at the boot. I tried to setup ram to 1333mhz instead of auto, put the voltage to 1.65v as suggested for p67 board. I also tried each module and it's works fine at 8gb but anything to do at 16gb.
There is a way to do it works with this kit.

Quote from: loomyz on 30-May-12, 07:17:01
I updated the Bios to v1.I and it changes anything. I mixed my 8gb kit and it works, so i supposed it will normally work at 16gb.
just because 8GB of mixed ram worked doesnt mean it will always work with mixed kit (you probably got lucky with the 8GB config and the chips would have been within a batch or 2 of each other)
the 16GB 2x(2x4GB) dual channel kits might have very different chips so you have this problem
DON'T EVER ASSUME THAT MIXED KITS WILL WORK BECAUSE IT DID BEFORE YOU MIGHT HAVE JUST GOT LUCKY <--- thats a rule i always follow
do you still have the boxes the 2 8GB kits came in as there is a lable on the back with a barcode number above the kit number CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 what are the 2 numbers off them eg. 106578452?
a drift on them of more then 1,000,000 then the chips will not be matching at all from my experiance with corsair dimms.

P67A-GD55 (B3) 3TB Support - What BIOS is Required?

Hi Guys,
Can someone from staff please confirm what version of the BIOS is required for 3TB support for the P67A-GD55 B3?
I currently have the latest stable BIOS installed from the link below:
http://uk.msi.com/product/mb/P67A-GD55--B3-.html#?div=BIOS
Version 1.D (Release Date: 2011-06-24)
Thanks,
Mark

2.2+TB support is a standard feature of the UEFI framework. So, basically, you do not need any special UEFI Version for that. Note that the 2.2TB barrier is first and foremost a limitation of the common MBR partition tables:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table
The solution (GUID Partition Table (GPT) support) is a part of the (U)EFI framework.
If you want to work with a disk partition larger than 2.2TB, it needs to be a GPT partition.
In case you run into any problems to mark a 3TB GPT as bootable, you may want to consider an UEFI Update to the latest version (E7681IMS.1E0):
http://eu.msi.com/product/mb/P67A-GD55--B3-.html#/?div=Download
... as it includes a newer version of the Intel AHCI/RAID Firmware.
