P67A-GD65 (B3) new build

I have a question about a new build using the following hardware:
Motherboard: MSI P67A-GD65 (B3)
Memory: OCZ 3G1333LV8GK DDR3-1333 (2x4GB)
CPU: i7-2600k
GPU: EVGA GTX 580
Hard drives: 2 1TB Western Digital SATA (no RAID)
After Windows 7 is installed...should I install all of the software under the Driver download section on the MSI site? Is all of it needed? Is there an order to the install?
Thanks or any info...

Why not simply install the drivers that are on the disc that came with the MB? Most of do not install the utility software or Live Update, just the drivers after OS is installed. 1st would be chipset/INF drivers and such and then the latest graphics drivers from NVIDIA website.

P67A-GD65(B3), new BIOS 4.3 and power phases

The old BIOS for P67A-GD65(B3) offered APS, Intel SVID and disabled as options for the power phases in the BIOS. The newest BIOS has no such option so I have to wonder whether APS and intel SVID are still around or all power phases options are set to disabled.
I have 2 of those mainboards. In the first one the BIOS is upgraded to 4.3. The system has a Pentium G860 (Sandybridge) and a Corsair HX750 psu. Control Center reports system to have 1 phase active while idle but the phase system itself is reported as disabled. It is not reported as either Intel SVID or APS. This seems to be wrong though cause when system goes to full load all phases go active again.
The other mainboard has an i5 2500K and was using BIOS v1.19. I had set the phase system to Intel SVID and indeed the phases changed between idle and full load. In a stupid attempt to benefit from Intel's rapid start technology that is supported on the latest BIOS and despite my better judgment I upgraded the BIOS to v 4.30. I had lots of issues with overclocking the CPU so I downgraded to 1.19 using the forum tool and the custom BIOS file. I may need to do a fresh installation of windows but according to the leds on the mainboard and the Control Center I can't get the mainboard to lower the phases even when idle. I've tried Intel SVID and APS in the BIOS but I had no luck. C1E is enabled along with every other energy saving feature. Currently and most of the time the i5 is running on stock clocks. I did notice that during the original upgrade from 1.19 to 4.30 in the BIOS the Intel ME was also upgraded from v7 to v8. I am not sure if the forum tool that reverted back the BIOS to v1.19 took care of the intel ME.
So I wanted some clarification to what happens with the power phase system in the new BIOS (4.3) and a bit of help in regards to the other system that for the time being seems incapable of lowering CPU phases. The second system is using a Coolermaster Silent M 1000W psu. Both mainboards are equipped with 16GB of Corsair (XMS1600) memory. Both systems use aftermarket coolers that keep the temperature reasonably low while being very quiet. I could list the rest of the specs but I don't think they will matter much.

The v4.3 was intended for those that decide to install an Ivy CPU. There must have been a reason why some of the features or settings were modified or eliminated to accomodate Ivy support. It may be best to ask this question directed towards the MSI Technical engineers.

As for phases, it may depend on how many applications are running in the background.

Z68-GD65 (G3) new build... some questions

Hey guy,
Just finished my build with the motherboard in the title. Everything seems to be running fine, got windows installed with no probs. Just got a couple of questions, when i turn my computer on and it starts to boot the beep it does is quite long, a bit longer than i'm used to with computers, used to hearing a short quick beep. Is the beep i'm hearing normal for this board?
Also as it's booting up on the bottom right of the screen 99 pops up and so does A2 not sure if anything else pops up as it happens pretty quickly. Just wondering what these mean and if there might be anything wrong? Everything seems fine with it.
Spec is
motherboard:- Z68-GD65 (G3)
processor:- Inter i5 2500k, running stock settings
ram:-4gb corsair xms3 1600mhz
gpu:- msi n560gtx twin frozr oc 1028mb
ssd:- crucial m4 128gb
Any help would be great
Cheers
Alex.

Thanks for the quick response . I feel better now i know what the numbers are for.
I guessing the booting beep is fine too, this isn't my board but it sounds like the first beep, mine doesn't do the extra beeps. It's just longer than im used too after using other systems, i'm sure a long beep like that means a memory prob or gpu prob. It's probably all fine as the system seems to be running with no problems.
Cheers

P67A-GD65 B3 new 1.D bios problem

I updated to the newest BIOS since I was redoing my computer anyways and now my mouse only moves up and down. It works when I'm in windows but not in the BIOS itself. My mouse is a logitech G700. Am I missing something or did this BIOS mess up compatibility with my mouse?
The good thing is, I can still use my keyboard so it's not the end of the world, but it would be nice if my mouse could work in the BIOS area.
Edit: Also, what are those numbers that pop up in the bottom right corner with the blinking line in the top left, when the computer boots up.
Edit #2: I tried the 1.D2 bios as well, everything is fine except the mouse.

They are BIOS 'checkpoint' POST status codes:

Well, go back to the BIOS that worked for you then.

Blank Screen and flashing cursor on new build-P67A GD65 (B3). Help needed.

As per the title, a computer was built for me with the following specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500k
Cpu Cooler: Arctic Freezer xtreme Rev 2.0,
Motherboard: MSI P67A – GD65 (B3)
PSU: Super-Flower Amazon 550W
RAM: 4GB G.Skill RipJaws-X, DDR3, 1600
HDD: 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 7200rpm
Graphics Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 5850 Xtreme - 1 GB GDDR5
Disc Drive: Samsung SH-223C DVD+RW
Case: Cooler Master 690 II LITE Midi-Tower
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
Everything went ok with the build and installation of the OS. Computer was booting ok. When I took the computer home that evening, powered it on and a blank screen with a flashing cursor on top left hand corner appeared. Tried several times but failed to boot up properly. Just to note that I can enter into the BIOS and it recognizes HDD, processor, Disk Drive and RAM. What I have done so far (of course with advice from computer experts as compared to me) are the following:
1. I removed all the parts except cpu and cooler then put them back. When I restarted a message appeared that win7 need to do a repair. It went thro the process and then it stated it can’t do repair. Did this twice. When I restarted the third time, a blank screen with the blinking cursor appeared again.
2. Cleared the BIOS using the button on the outside of the motherboard and also once using the jumpers inside the motherboard. After doing this, I pressed on the “”ON” button several times (with no power on to the computer) to dissipate any current that was left there.
3. Interchanged the RAM on different slots. Also tried using only 1 stick of Ram at a time.
4. Checked the HDD on another machine and it was ok. Formatted the HDD on the other machine, plugged onto new machine and tried to install OS again but no joy.
At this point, I’m now stuck after almost a month when the machine was built. Would it be the motherboard? RAM? etc. Just wondering if I should RMA the motherboard since it is just over a month when it was delivered.
A point to note, there is a message that comes up when it is booting stating no HDD is detected. I googled this but found out it was to do with a marvel adapter that needs to be disabled or something like that. However, it was mentioned that this wasn’t going to affect the performance of the pc as the BIOS can detect all the components.
I also noticed that when I switch on the pc, there is a small pause before it kicks on then there is a long beep followed by 2 small beeps. I presume this is normal.
Any help on this will be highly appreciated?

Disable EuP 2013 & that should take care of the pause. The beeps are normal at startup. Only time I have observed a blank screen & blinking cursor is if the system wasn't getting enough juice to initialize, or their was insufficient power in an OC attempt. What kind of +12V amps does that PSU you have provide?

HELP! My 2011 MSI P67A-GD65 (B3) build suddenly refuses to boot

Hello, I am new to this forum because I hadn't had any troubles yet.
I built my system in July/August 2011. Here's what it has:
MSI P67A-GD65 (B3)
Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge CPU
16GB Corsair Vengeance 240-pin DDR3 1600
650w Corsair Enthusiast PSU
MSI N460GTX Cyclone 1GD5/OC GeForce Graphics Card
1x 2TB Hitachi 7K3000 7200RPM SATA 6 GB/s (With Windows 7 64-bit installed)
2x 3TB Seagate 7200RPM SATA 6 GB/s (For storage)
I have used this computer for graphics and video editing...it has served me faithfully. Yesterday evening while editing a Word document, I got "do you want to save your changes before exiting?" and of course I said yes. Then to my surprise my computer proceeded to shut down and reboot. At first I thought maybe I missed a Windows Update message telling me it would reboot in xxx minutes so I was not alarmed. But then as I watched it reboot, it gave me the POST message that there was no disc drive recognized. I thought that was weird since I never noticed it before. But then after the BIOS screen with the MSI graphics thing I was faced with a blank screen except for a flashing cursor two inches from the top of the screen. When I realized that this wasn't going to leave, I got a bit worried so I did a reset through my tower's button and same thing happened...I unplugged everything and let it sit for a few minutes... restarted 10 minutes later....same thing. Did it again and then went into my BIOS to look around. It showed no HDD's connected and I had 3 hooked up. I was concerned my HDD went bad so I connected it to another pc and accessed it with no trouble as another storage...I was happy my files are all there. So then I reconnected to my original build and got the same POST message, but this time the drives were visible in BIOS....but still no boot.
I have another blank SATA HDD so I removed all my HDD's and connected it by itself along with my SATA DVD drive and I tried to do a clean Win7 install on it. But at the point in the install process where it asks WHERE you want to install Windows, no drives showed up. So that door was closed. I tried the same thing again after swapping SATA port locations, thinking 1 was defective, but I got the same treatment from all of them...nothing recognized during the install process, although the drives are showing up in BIOS....
I think I know why the POST message is saying 'no drives detected,' though...I read it is saying that based on the SATA ports being used...I have 8 SATA's on my MOBO...4 6gb/s; 4 3gb/s. 7-8 are 6gb/s and ONLY when I have a HDD plugged into one of them does it show on the POST screen...which I still think is weird, and seems to have just started happening last night with the rest of the problems...but I could live with that since I could disable the message in BIOS I think.
But I have tried to clear the CMOS...all three ways...jumper, button, battery. I reset BIOS thru BIOS.... Nothing changes. BTW, in BIOS I ran a RAM memory check and it passed. Besides, I am not hearing any weird beeps...related to that....
I don't know why this would happen after working perfectly for 2 years... And why would it politely shut down in the beginning of the process anyways? I mean...I appreciated being asked to save my changes...but I don't know what else to do...PLEASE OFFER SUGGESTIONS...any help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance...I hope someone can help me! I am still covered by warranty...but I want to do this right.
Thanks!
Marie
EDIT: BTW, I have also tried unplugging everything from the pc except for the DVI and power plug in case that was interferring....

On a slightly different topic...would it work (I have never done this!) to take my OS HDD and boot it on another PC? I am thinking this would not work because of system files and etc., but I have always wondered this and now would be the best time for me to know
It mostly works if the components used aren't too special. As you have no RAID setup it should work. However you will need to reactivate Windows once it made it. Of course you will also need all drivers for the new machine. Be aware that you might not be able to connect to the internet before you installed the proper driver for the ethernet adapter.

New P67A-GD65 do not boot

Hi.
I have just finished to install my new P67A-GD65 and it does not work.
I do not have the post screen, the screen stay black. But i got bips.
Bips are not clear, i think it's 4 shot, 1 long or something like that.
I had try to clear cmos, disconnect all non critical things, but nothing changed.
Anyone have the bips signification list ?
Thanks.

Sorry, the thing i'd ask for is the bips documentation.
Here it'is my full configuration.
# CPU : Intel i5 2500k
# Motherboard model : P67A-GD65 (MS-7681 Ver:2.0) Bios 1.4 (seen on the ships)
# Memory : 2x2Go Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600M (only one plug for testing)
# Video card : Saphire, ATI Radeon 5770 Vapor-x.
# Hard drive(s) brand : Western digital caviar black 500Go.
# No Operating system.
# Power Supply : Corsair HX - 650W
The hard drive, the power supply and the vidéo card are from an other computer, so i'am sure they work.
I have tried an other video card (an old ATI 1950). No change.
All power cables are pluged. Phases led (3 first) are on, the fourst blink.
And, as i sed before, no post screen, and 4 short bip and a long or 5 short... seems to have a little pause between the last bip and the others.

Power on-off-on Problems with New Build Z68A-GD65(G3)

I'm hoping someone has seen these issues and can help me, although I realize this is a vague issue. I'm working on a new build. On power up everything looks good but then I get a power off and back on (like a reset). Sometimes it happens very quickly; other times it will stay on for roughly 5-10 minutes before the reset. I've checked all the connectors, case wires look ok, BIOS info looks correct.
The other issue is that when I tried to do the Win 7 install, it loads the files, goes to the "Starting Windows" screen, and freezes there (until the next power off problem shuts things down).
Any ideas on what to try to narrow things down? Seems like it almost has to be the power supply or motherboard?

Quote from: Henry on 28-October-11, 09:54:40
You have more than a Z68A-GD65(G3), please list he rest of your components. See my signature below for example of what to list.
>> Posting Guide <<
I've disconnected everything but the mouse, keyboard and monitor and still have the power resets.
Tried one memory module at a time... still fails.
Played with lower memory freq settings... still fails.
Finally pulled the MB out, bench tested it to rule out shorting in the case; tried it with and without other peripherals... still fails.
I think I'll RMA the MB, although I suppose it could be the psu (unlikely, I'd think).
I had two bad motherboards in my last build. I had hope that MSI would be better...

P67A GD65 System build First startup goes into restart loop

I just build a p67a GD65 System i am an experienced system builder testing out on a cardboard surface after the system would not boot.
Using corsair Vengence ddr 3 ram
Coolmaster silent pro 800 W power supply
Hyper 212 plus cooler
2600k processor
After the continuous loop i tested power supplies swapped them and got the same problem
Then i got a clean cardboard box and started troubleshooting now the system, even barebone with the essential hardware only won't boot at all I do however see the green power light go on and OC genie light, light up when i press the power button but the system won't budge, I'm wondering if this is a bad processor or motherboard? I am leaning towards a bad mobo as these problems with this particular MSI board have been rampant.
Just to add none of the bios LED's light up.

I have a question crxer, does the OC Genie Light come on and stay on, or does it turn off? If it stays on then you have the OC Genie Button pushed in and you're trying to overclock the system right off the bat which you don't want to do, and that could be why the constant power cycling because of an OC failure.
Not that this is similar to your problem, but I had a Z68A-GD65(B3) which gave me nothing but problems with overclocking and the the dual bios feature. I would get the power on recycling a few times every time I tried any OC and reboot whether by using the OC Genie button or manual OC, but it would then eventually boot. Mine would also give me the Bios LED coming on in all the different configurations telling me the primary bios failed or secondary or both but I was always able to re-flash the primary bios and the board was never bricked. You're not having that problem thank goodness.
I am a very experienced builder and troubleshooter and tried everything to isolate the problem and make that Z68A board work, but to no avail, which is why I returned it to Newegg and replaced it with a MSI P67A-GD55(B3) shown in my signature, which is similar to your GD65 and it works perfectly with all the same components as I used on the Z68A-GD65(B3), and I have it manually OC'd it to 4.3 Ghz which is good enough for now. Good luck crxer.

P67A-GD65 new system bios setting recommendations and sata connections

Hey all,
My old dual core HTPC (after many hours of use) finally gave up the ghost and moved on to the great PC grave yard . I have ordered all the new upgrade parts from Newegg and am looking for recommendations on what bios settings and setup procedures I should use on the initial bootup and Windows load. I'm not looking to overclock I just want a fast stable system for video decoding and playback. It's my understanding from the manual that SATA 1-2 are controlled by the Intel P67 chip and 7-8 are controlled by the Marvell chip but I am unsure of SATA 3-6. Can SATA 3-6 do raid 0? I want to use the Crucial SSD as my primary boot drive and the 2 WD drives on raid 0 as my secondary drive. SATA connection advice (which SATA ports) and Raid Bios setting would be helpful. Should I install the raid 0 drives after I have Windows 7 loaded on the SSD? Any other setup advice is appreciated.
Here is my setup.
Windows 7 64bit
Bach HTPC case
Ultra LSP 750Pro PSU
Intel i5-2500 3.3G CPU
MSI P67A-GD65 Motherboard
Sapphire HD5570 1G RT Video Card
Crucial CTFDDAC128MAG-1G1 SSD 6.0Gb/s SATAIII (Primary boot drive)
2 WD3200KS Hard Drives SATA 3.0Gb/s (Raid 0)
Lite-on 12X Blu-Ray Burner SATA
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600

Two questions answered. SATA 3-6 are controlled by the Intel P67 chip and do support Raid 0 but I still wonder if I should wait to install the drives until Windows has finished it's install.
SATAIII controller integrated in Intel® P67 & Marvell SE9128 chipsets
- Up to 6Gb/s transfer speed.
- Supports two SATAIII ports (SATA1~2) by P67 PCH
- Supports two SATAIII ports (SATA7~8) by Marvell SE9128
- SATA1~6 ports support RAID 0/1/5/10 mode by Intel P67 PCH
- SATA7~8 ports support RAID 0/1 mode by Marvell SE9128

Fans and Z87-GD65 new build question

Hi. I am waiting on all my parts for a new build this week. I've only done one build before and that was over 4 years ago (i5-750 / MSI P55-GD65). My question is regarding fans and how to control them on the Z87-GD65 mobo. My case comes with three 140 mm 3-pin fans and a 3 fan 3-speed manual fan controller. I've never used a fan controller before and would prefer to use SpeedFan or the BIOS to adjust speed fans based on CPU/GPU temperatures. Will I be able to set up automatic speed control in BIOS or SpeedFan for all 3 fans with this motherboard? Or do I need PWM fans to do so? What if I want to install 2 extra fans? Any help would be appreciated!
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Phanteks PH-TC12DX_RD 68.5 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard: MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 3GB Video Card
Case: Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: SeaSonic G 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

Those connected to the fan controllers are controlled through their buttons (or whatever to adjust the speed). Those connected to motherboard, are connected through a software, such as Command Centre (which in my opinion is great for this).
Not sure how many connectors do you have on the motherboard, but I think there's x2 CPUFan and x3 SysFan. That means you can have x5 fans connected to them. But you can either purchase a Y splitter which will let you connect 2 fans into a single socket (I am using one Y splitter) or just get proper fan controller.

P67A-GD65 (B3) will not boot with external USB DVD connected.

Damnedest thing... just put the build together last night and this was the biggest issue. If I connect my external Samsung USB DVD RW the system stops booting and only displays (B3) in the bottom right corner of my display. If I remove the USB plug the system boots and operates normally. If I connect it to the USB port after boot the system recognizes it and it works fine. The same issue occurs no matter which USB2/3 port I plug it into. I've banged around the BIOS and cannot see any issues in the boot sequence that would indicate an issue. Anyone else in das same boot?

Quote from: cadhopper on 24-March-11, 07:19:08
I just came to the forum for the same reason. I'm glad you had a thread already going. Mine is a Seagate 1.5T USB 2.0 hard drive and the screen reads 98 in the lower right corner. Hopefully MSI will get this fixed soon. Other than that the new system is running great.
They are working on it. They sent me a BETA BIOS to try out. The BIOS v1.10B3 was dated 3-17-2011 and it nearly bricked my system though. Here is the response I sent to them the other night after a few hours with a massive headache trying to bring my system back up:
Quote
Tried the new BIOS. While it did indeed fix the USB DVD boot issue and let me boot into windows it created a few new issues. After flashing the new BIOS would not recognize my old overclocking profiles from the v1.8 BIOS.. "hole" error. So I manually adjusted all the settings and saved the new settings. I copied them EXACTLY from my previous settings.. I had screenshots which I had printed out as a fool-proof guide. After rebooting I could no longer get into windows. BSOD. If I tried entering the BIOS by tapping the DEL button while booting the system would freeze at the "entering setup...." screen and never progress into the actual BIOS. I unplugged the power, waited a few minutes and held the clear CMOS button on the back panel down for a few seconds. After rebooting I no longer had video output. After much trial and error I ended up having to also unplug my LCD and cycle power on it as well to get video back. But could still bot get into the BIOS by tapping the DEL key during boot. Luckily I have a laptop with all the files on it and I was able to finally re-flash back to the v1.8 BIOS from a USB drive. I'm not sure what exactly you changed.. but I don't think this new BIOS version should leave BETA status.
To their credit they promptly responded the next AM:
Quote
There were some changes to the CPU voltage, so your overclock settings may not work properly. We are still working on a 1.A release version. It will be updated to our website soon. http://www.msi.com/product/mb/P67A-GD65--B3-.html#/?div=BIOS
I only wish they had informed me of the changes to the CPU voltage up front or included a change log so I could have made an informed decision as to whether or not I wanted to try the BETA BIOS. I was under the impression (mistakenly) that it simply addressed the USB DVD issue. I'll wait for the new release BIOS. I can live without the external USB DVD being plugged in at boot. Bricking my MOBO and having to RMA would be a far less desirable outcome. :p That said.. I'd still recommend this MOBO. It has relatively few issues and MSI support is responsive so far.

P67A-GD65 recall help

First off I'm not that tech informed so bare with me... That said....
I was told by a friend who help me reseach and build my latest PC hardware in late 2010 that my motherboard was recalled by Intel? The Motherboard in question is an MSI P67A-GD65. I was told by my friend that I can contact MSI for a exchange for the new updated B3 chipset revision? So, is this true and if so how do I go about doing this? The only reason I'm asking is my computer has been really slow so I had my friend come look at it.. After he realized I hadn't gotten an exchange for the B3 motherboard he told me to contact MSI and get it replaced.. Thanks for all your help everyone

Replacement procedure will depend on the your location in the world. This thread should cover it; https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=145374.0

Hi guys,
HQ just released this bios for the P67A-GD65/P67A-GD55/P67A-GD53 which should fix the Vdroop issue.
If someone on the forum wants to try, you can share this bios.

Description for FAE:
1.Fix vdroop offset control function can't work normally issue and modify code to avoid chip bug issue.

Quote from: Svet on 09-October-12, 18:51:44
It's universal method and will perform full BIOS chip update[include required ME update] with regard less of current installed BIOS version
No it will flash only one, active one.
Thank You Svet. It`s nice to have new version of MSI HQ Forum USB flasher with ME update function Great job!
Bit offtop, sorry but I have to ask. Is it technically possible that flasher eventually get option to flash both bios chips on motherboards like P67-GD65?
Or maybe it is good thing that it can flash only one chip for now(?) I do not understand consequences. Pro and cons of having me7 and me8 on pri/sec bios chips?
I do not want to make mistake (using MSI flash procedure) but wanna try new VDroop/Offset feature of Click Bios II. Maybe it will cure my over 1.4V auto voltage on 4,5GHz
PS: Sorry, my English seams to be horrible. I hope You can read my mind, hehe...
