P67A-GD65 - CPUFAN always at full speed

Hello,
I have three Scythe GentleTyphoon AP-15 connected to CPUFAN, SYSFAN1 and SYSFAN2.
The two fans connected to SYSFAN1 and SYSFAN2 are perfectly controlable (0% ~ 100%) via BIOS, MSI Control Center, SpeedFan, etc.
But, the one fan connected to CPUFAN cannot be controlled. It remains at 100% speed whatever I do and wherever.
I had an Intel stock cooler connected to CPUFAN before and it was controllable (50% ~ 100%).
Is the CPUFAN connector only controllable with PWM fans or am I missing something?
Thank you in advance.

You need a PWM fan if you don't have the 3/4 pin fan selection in the BIOS.
I am sorry,
I did not understand the 'bold' part.

  • MY FAN IS ALWAYS ON FULL SPEED

    Please help out there my MB fan is always on full speed especially when whatching ovies on Batt power which drains my batt quick. and i was not like that before

    especially when whatching \[m?\]ovies on Batt power
    First, movies are CPU-intensive tasks, which may explain the need for fan speed. That might not be all, though.
    The thing to do it run /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor to see which processes are using the most CPU. It's entirely possible that you have some runaway process running that's causing the system to run hot, and therefore need additional cooling.

  • 865PE Neo2 north branch fan always running full speed

    Core Center does not seem to work.  I have the latest version and it is quiet for first 5 minutes, then it gets louder and louder.  I have replaced the NB fan once and that seemed to help for a while, but now it is always running at full speed.  The fan goes to full speed even when no one is using the computer for 1/2 hour.
    1)  How to troubleshoot?
    2)  Are there other fan speed control programs that actually let you control the speed of the fans?

    Try SpeedFan.  If your mobo's sensor chip is supported by Speedfan, you can adjust the fanspeed with it.
    Another option would be to replace the NB fansink with a Zalman fanless northbridge heatsink like the NB47J...  I got a 865PE Neo2-V board and it came with a passive heatsink, so a passive heatsink might work OK for yours as long as you got good case airflow.
    Good luck.

  • Z68A-GD80(G3) system fan always at full speed

    I updated the BIOS to J0 with ME8. Installed latest ME and chip set drivers. Set target CPU temparature to 70° and minimum fan speed to 0%. Now my system fans are always at 100%. My systems are PWM type connected to the 4 pin connector on the motherboard. I use control center to set the speed to. 50% but the setting won't stick. The fans used to stay at low speed. It is way too noisy now. Any idea what cause this?

    I get around the issue by using the SpeedFan utility. Install SpeedFan and use the advance configuration to set PWM2 and PWN3 on F71889A to "TEMPERATURE" (the setting were "MANUAL"). The system fans drops to 65% immediately. PWM1 should be the CPU fan connector and is already in "TEMPERATURE". However, the setting still won't stick after reboot. I ended up creating a startup task in the Windows scheduler to run SpeedFan automatically at startup and problem solved.
    I believe the CPU temp target in the J0 BIOS only control PWM1 and probably the same in previous BIOS. I used Control Center to set the fans to silent before. My guess is that that Control Center set the fan speed back to silent mode every time the system starts (it has an auto start entry in the registry). Some how that no longer works with the new BIOS/ME8. I even tried reinstalling Control Center and still no luck.
    I hope MSI reintroduce settings for PWM2 and PWM3 directly in future BIOS update.

  • Helix Fans in keyboard portion ALWAYS running at full speed

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone from Lenovo support (or a fellow user) could recommend a Lenovo sponsored solution for the problem regarding the fan in the keyboard tray always running at full speed on the Helix? I know there are a bunch of 3rd party fan control solutions out there, but some users have cautioned that they cause unexpected touch screen problems.
    When I use my Helix to remote login to other computers, the fans in the keyboard dock slow down and stop, and the noise difference is incredible. It would be so much better if the Helix was always that quite...
    Any solutions?
    Thanks!

    bgiles9091,
    We've had fan feedback for a while in the forum on helix.  All of the samples here perform as expected, so to revisit the issue we may need a sample from a customer.
    I would also ensure you are at the latest BIOS and power management driver levels, and have installed the firmware update on your keyboard dock. 
    Thanks,

  • IMac G5 (no iSight) fans running full speed always

    Hi,
    The processor usage is relatively low (like 10%) but the fans are full speed at all times from the second the power comes on. I imagine there isa problem with the mother board? I've tried resetting all the SMC stuff, no effect.
    Any ideas?
    Is this something Apple Stores will charge to fix?
    Thanks

    It could be either faulty, leaking caps, or a failing power supply unit. Yes, Apple will charge since you are long out of warranty. You can open the machine and check the caps yourself, they look like little soda cans, and their tops should be perfectly flat and there should be no exudate.

  • MSI P67A-GD65 hard drive light always lit

    I built a new pc with this motherboard a few weeks ago and everything is great except for the hard drive light.  It stays dim 100% of the time and does show hard drive activity so i know it's working.  I switched the connector on the motherboard to see if it was a polarity issue, but then it doesn't work at all.  I even used a different LED that wasn't connected to my case and removed all the other connectors (power, reset, etc) and it still stayed dim.  Lastly, i removed all the SATA cables from the motherboard, all fan connectors with no luck.  I would appreciate any information on this, and if it's normal or if something is wrong and i should RMA the board.
    PS - Bios version is 1.9.  I never updated it cause everything has been working as it should.

    Quote from: NovJoe on 30-May-11, 15:38:56
    You should try the board out of the chassis. You may also want to try it in barebone conditions.
    I tried that yesterday.  Took it completely out of the case and left everything else off the board except for the ram and it still does it.  Also used a separate LED to test that wasn't part of the case.  In all the years i've worked on pc's, i've never seen this before.  I guess at this point i'll have to live with it or buy another one and send this one back for RMA.  I contacted MSI and they replied back with a suggestion to update the bios.  This is going nowhere.  While it probably won't actually hurt anything, i didn't spend $1500 on a new system to have problems with the motherboard.
    Can someone help me test by using their MSI P67A-GD65 (B3) board?  Disconnect JUST your power light from the motherboard to make sure no other light is interfering with the hard drive light, and see if it's still dimly lit at around 25% to 30% regardless if you're in the bios, or in windows.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated at this point.

  • MSI P67A-GD65 and other 1155's whine

    Hello MSI and community.
    Recently I decided to build a PC especally for minimun noise.
    I waited a long time for the B3 boards so I wouldn't have to go through the trouble of returns. Sadly this didn't work out.
    First of all I ordered the cheapest and first mobo(gigabyte ph67-ud-b3) that was relesed. Soon as I plugged it in and Windows 7 got to boot screen (from the DVD) it started giving off a high pitched whine.
    After alot of research I RMA it and ordered a Asus P8H67-M LX. Loaded it up and thought woohoo no whine, then as soon as windows finishes installing the drivers (first time on windows) of goes the whine again.
    I RMA that 1 too and bought the MSI P67A-GD65 advertized as "whistle free" as well as people on another forum saying they didn't hear anything from theirs. This one does the same but I can't keep sending back boards for RMA and want to keep this one so I'm here hoping to try and resolve the issue with MSI.
    I have tested these boards with Casecom 500w, ozc gamextream 700w, antec true power 650w and coolermaster pro m 600w with them behind a door to eliminate any fan noise.
    MSI GPUS: 8800GS, 8800GTX and 560TI as well as onboard from the h67 board.
    I've tried many differant BIOS settings, nothing but disabling C-STATE (fully disabled) effected it. (I havn't manually played with volts)
    On the other 2 boards I noticed it seemed to dim when I unplugged all USB devices and in their BIOS it was c3/c6 I had to disable, MSI board doesn't whine as loud as the other 2 but it's more constant but with a morse code type theme to it which seems to be coming from CPU socket whenever the PC is idle, it's equally noisy from either side of the board. It's very annoying and accually gives me a headache as maxium distance.   
    Alot of people have said their 1155 board don't make a sound but 3/3 for me have so I'm not sure what to think.
    I'm currently running with c-state disabled but Turbobooster only seems to go to 25% and slower clock speed on my i5-2500k and I assume for power usage, all things I don't want.
    Can you give any information at all? Might it be possible to correct with a BIOS update? I'm open to any suggestions and will keep checking back here.
    Hope you will be able to work with me on this issue.
    Thank you in advance, I've prefered to go with MSI all my computering life.

    Used the same CPU cooler on all three? That would be my wild guess.
    I test it fanless of course  but no I have used mutiple heat sinks aswell.
    Quote
    What's wrong with throttling down at idle or low usage? Who sits at a stop light with the engine at full throttle?
    I'm not too sure what disabling C-state accually does but when running Orthos I saw speed was at 3.6ghz instead of the 3.3 while disabled.

    Contact MSI Tech Support by opening a ticket & ask them. This is a user to user forum, being as such, MSI will most likely never read your thread.

  • P67a-gd65: OC & Speedstep

    My system is running fine, and overclocks to 4.0GHz(manual), 4.2(OCGenie), 4.4(manual) - all ok with prime95, OCCT.
    However, whenever it's overclocked, I'd like it to step down to save power, when not under heavy load (it steps down to 1.6GHz when not OC'd).
    Ignorant question - which BIOS setting enables this, or is it not possible when OC'd?
    I've tried EIST both ways, and 'enable frequency change in OS' settings.
    Thanks!

    Thanks, I found it - the BIOS seems to want to default the others correctly, but had the 'C States' disabled.
    After enabling that, the CPU steps back down to 1.6GHz when not under load (this takes my system idle power from 95W to 67W).
    Quote
    Is there a bug in MSI's 'Control Center' - the 'CPU monitor' always shows all 4 cores running at the OC speed, though CPU-Z (properly) shows the current running speed (either 1.6 or 4.X GHz)?
    Mh, which version are you using? Perhaps one of the newer BETA Releases behaves differently:

    I have searched for a solution to my problem ,yet didn't find it so thought i'll post it here:
    The MB ,CPU ,RAM and SSD where bought about 2 weeks ago brand new.
    A few days ago i have experienced bad youtube/vimeo/(virtually all flash player video based sites) video playback (corrupted colors ,see attached image) ,corrupted images in browser (also a screenshot below) and artefact photoshop brushes (when painting in ps ,the brush showed similar to the youtube video playback ,random colors corruption).  I thought it's the browser (firefox 4) so i installed chrome ,same problem ,also in opera an IE8 so it's a hardware/driver problem.
    At first i suspected a bad memory stick. I've tested them with memtest 3.5 from a bootable CD in dos mode ,in dual-channel ,individual sticks and in all ram slots. ZERO errors. The EFI memory tool also gave me 0 errors and also windows memory manager tool said there are no errors.
    Now i suspect the motherboard. Another problem i had with the mb: it kept freezing in idle so i disabled all green-power settings ,speed step ,C1E and EIST which solved it.
    I must state that i have no BSoDs ,no hangs/freezes/artefacts in 3d aplications and games, hdd played movies run perfectly fine and the pc runs ok.
    I tried reinstalling my graphics drivers ,yet no result. No overclocking was applied to the system.
    What can it be? I am out of answers ,google didn't helped me.
    Thank you in advance.

    Did you reset the bios before usage after flashing CMOS?
    Obviously something wrong with the USB driver, perhaps the mobo USB driver?
    It was already reseted to defaults.
    I have never had a usb problem ,this is completely new to me.

    Just for clarification sake, the black ports are all SATA II & run by the Intel controller. The two white ports closest to the RAM slots are SATA III & also controlled by Intel controller. The other two white ports, 7 & 8 are the SATA III Marvell controlled.
    Ok ,sorry ,i misunderstood then. Strange ,after moving them to the white ports ,they show up at boot ,in the black ports it always said no HDD installed/detected.
    Ok ,so what now? it seems i jump from a problem into another ,lucky me...

  • P67A GD65 B3 - issues

    Hi everyone
    I have some isses with my new p67a-gd65:
    Q1. When booting before showing the intel raid utility I hear 1long and 3or4 short beeps. Accorind to google those 3 short beeps should mean that there's a problem with the upper memory. I have F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR2 (2x4GB) and the memory is supported by this mobo according to the gskills website. Furthermore I ran the memtest86+ (v4.20) a week ago and this morning (for about 90mins) and no errors turned out. The system/memory hasn't been overclocked and I'm using the 1f8 bios.
    If the beeps are 4short this should mean that the system timer is dead. I cannot see any issues when running win7 or fedora linux. Everything looks ok. Should I be concerned???
    I noticed the beeps this morning because it turned out I've used the wrong pins for the beeper (JFP2) for the mobo. That's why I haven't heard them before (if there were any).
    Should I be concered for those beeps?
    Q2. In the "green" section there are 2 options to choose from: APS and Intel SVID XXXX. When I choose APS all 6 phase leds are on all the time. As I said before the system hasn't been overclocked (i5-2500k). Even in idle (after 15 min) I still have a solid light from all 6 leds.
    If I choose Intel SVID instead of APS after the system fully boots it shows 1 led with steady light, the following 4 are lit but not as intensive as the first one, and the last led is blinking. So I still have all of them on. I have enabled the c1e state and the other c states and chosen "no limit" for the c-states.
    once again: Should I be concerned about this? Why don't those led turn off et least in idle???
    Q3: I'm using an raid0 for my data and therefore have enabled the intel-raid. As a result when booting I have to wait about 7 sec starring in front of the "intel raid-rom bla-a-a-a". Do you know how I can hide the this intel-blaaaaa and speed up the boot process?
    otherwise the system looks rock solid but those isses drive me crazy!

  • P67A-GD65 - UEFI malfunction?

    Hi all.
    I've got a P67A-GD65 and everything was working fine (Windows 7x64 on AHCI 500GB Samsung F3) on open bench.
    Yesterday I installed it all in the case (with watercooling on the CPU). Now, the current setup is this:
    - P67A-GD65 (MS-7681 Ver. 2.0), BIOS 1.4
    - Seasonic S12 650W PSU
    - 2600K
    - Corsair Revenge 4GB 9-9-924 1.5V (installed at slot 1, right next to the CPU)
    - ATI 4670 connected to a 32" full HD TV with DVI-HDMI cable
    - no HDD
    - open case (no sides, no front) with W/C on the CPU (triple radiator)
    - everything is at stock voltages and speed.
    When I turn on my PC, I get the following after a few short seconds:
    Code: [Select]
    EFI Shell version 2.10 [1.0]
    Current running Mode 1.1.2
    map: Cannot find required map name.
    Press ESC in 1 seconds to skip startup.nsh, any other key to continue.
    Shell> _
    From what I can understand, this EFI shell (what the hell is this?) is working and accepting commands, although I haven't mess around with it (tried help, it worked and gave the full command list).
    If I press delete before this shell appears, the UEFI home page appears, but I can only see a quarter of it (the first two buttons), it is as if the home page jumped to 4x the resolution and now I'm zoomed in on a quarter of it. I can still use the mouse and keyboard and with the keyboard I can navigate through the six buttons (even not seeing them). Choosing any option just overlays part of the option's screen on the homepage. I can't use it.
    If I plug the 500Gb disk, Windows starts to load but reboots in the process. I believe this is because the Bios settings are at default values, including the storage mode (IDE). My Windows install needs AHCI.
    I've tried clearing CMOS by unplugging power cable, leave it alone for hours and pressing the clear cmos button for a full minute. Did not work :\
    Any help? I would really like to get this working. The case with W/C was from my last MSI board, a KT3 Ultra ARU with a 1700 and later on a 2400. Worked fine for years (still does) but it just became too slow.
    Thanks.

    Installed Windows 7 in another partition (IDE mode). Everything installed fine except for the Intel Management Engine (says my system does not met the minimum requirements). MSI Control Panel says "Control Center does not support this mainboard!". Apart from this, everything seems to be working fine. I even stress tested the CPU. Can't use the bios screens though.
    Updated BIOS to 1.7 and cleared CMOS. Problem still occurs. Can't use the bios setup.
    Replaced ATI 4670 with Nvidia 6200. I can see the uefi screens now. Set the disks to AHCI and booted the ahci windows 7 install. Can't install IME and can't use Control Center.
    The BIOS is working, but I still can't install the IME drivers or use the Control Panel. The 4670 is working on another PC.
    I've also noticed that the shell only appears when no hdd is plugged. I wonder what cen be done with this shell...
    All that is left now is to understand why MSI Control Panel does not work and why I can't install the IME drivers.

  • P67A-GD65 Hard Lockups

    I recently built a Sandy Bridge system and I am having random sudden hard locks.  I will be browsing the net or playing a game and then...everything freezes up suddenly and I cannot do anything, like I'm stuck in a screen shot.  I am forced to manually hit the restart button.  Sometimes it will happen twice in an hour and sometimes it wont happen for a day.  I have updated BIOS to v1.7, turned on and off turbo mode, manually slightly increased my vcore, increased base clock to 101 (MHz), turned on and off power saving settings, tried sata 6 and sata 3 ports, ran MemTest, newest drivers from MSI site.  Also from day 1 the OC genie never worked, whenever I would try it it would freeze up at the windows loading screen.  I have been able to overclock manually and get it up to 4.7GHz and then got a blue screen while running 3dMark, but that was just for a short time while testing and have since reverted back to stock speeds and it still randomly hard locks.  My temps are always fine 32-50 C.  This is basically a core upgrade with some reused parts from last setup (which was rock solid always).
    Hardware:
    MSI P67A-GD65 (Flashed to V1.7)

    Western Digital Caviar Blue WD6400AAKS HD (from last pc)
    Windows 7 Pro 64bit
    Anyone have any ideas about how I could isolate what exactly the issue is? Bad mobo maybe? The lack of a stable system is really killing me.  Making this post from my laptop  

    I am having the same problems as you. Have not done all those tests that you have done tho. I have not overclocked or changed anything, its all default settings for me. I still run the default BIOS version. Was thinking of updating now but it seems like MSI has removed the v1.7 update.
    Normally it happens like this. Im in a game and suddenly all gets frozen. Then I am disconnected from the game server (I run online games) and then the game hangs. Still I can alt-tab in to windows. Then I try to open task manager to see whats going on but it never shows... computer starts running slowly. Mouse and keyboard input work for 4 seconds at a time, and then stops working for 4 seconds, then works for 4 seconds... after a while the computer comes to a complete halt.
    I have run chkdsk on my disks. I have checked all temperatures, all ok. I have a Corsair 850W which gives power to my:

  • P67A-GD65(B3) and i5 2300 overclock = 3.3 GHz max ?

    Hi,
    I've just bought a SB mobo & CPU and try to figure out what can I do with it in terms of o/c. Just for my future reference.
    My CPU is i5 2300.
    Mobo is MSI P67A-GD65(B3).
    PSU is OCZ Z-Series 850W
    and cooler is CM Hyper 212 Plus.
    I don't touch BCLK so far and I don't touch OC Genie button and I won't touch it (got used to manual driving). As far as I know all SB do have TurboBoost *PLUS* 4-tick addition (or even more with less cores active). So armed with that knowledge I entered MSI UEFI setup and disabled all energy engines (except this max 1W European standby norm.. can't remember name at this moment, sorry), so turbo 3.1 + 4 ticks should be 3.5 GHz.
    http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/core-i5-2500-2400-2300_11.html
    And my problem is I can't reach it ;-) All I can get is 3.3 GHz (x33). CPU-Z shows me stable 3.3 with no falls to 1.6 (as energy managers are off). Even under full load (Prime95) it still shows 3.3, BTW interesting... Intel Turbo Boost Monitor shows raising bar upto 3.3 GHz under stress only, once Prime is disabled = bar falls down.
    Bios is the newest (1.E). Temps under full load are about 50 deg. All voltages are auto (except memory which is 1.5 V). It doesn't matter if I set x34 or x35 CPU multiplier both in UEFI setup, and using MSI Control Centre.. as always I've got 3.3 GHz (x33) shown by CPU-Z 1.58. VDrop setting is Auto.
    I'd promise once I've seen 3.4, but it was my first shot, rather for observing new cooler and temps.. and it was older BIOS.
    Is it everything what can i5-2300 give to me, or is it possible to get more (x35) somehow ? I will try BCLK later, now I'd like to find maximum multiplier.
    Thank you for any clues.

    Quote from: Henry on 27-July-11, 06:16:05
    Bottom line is if you want decent easy OC then get a 'K' series CPU. You're getting frustrated trying to OC a CPU that wasn't designed to OC to begin with. You're not going to get much of a performance increase from the piddly little bit of an OC on that 2300 anyway.
    Thanks for answer, but I know those facts very well as I am computer builder & troubleshooter
    I was just curious, and far away from frustration, how much is worth my new "baby", let me remind my first sentence:
    "I've just bought a SB mobo & CPU and try to figure out what can I do with it in terms of o/c. Just for my future reference."
    I don't know why people treat this as newbie stu*id question "OMG, mummy bought me this PC and my brother told me what o/c is and I want to make a rocket now"
    I always do such "recko" like maximum o/c after purchase, which allows me to build the future strategy for years, that's all
    BTW, I'm happy with it (so far) as it's noticeably faster, cooler and more energy efficient than Q9550 I have had before. And the whole platform doesn't make my soundcard having "cracked", so I'd say it's a fullness of happiness.

It locks up constantly.  Usually the mouse pointer will disappear and the computer will just freeze up.  This normally seems to occur after the computer has been idle for a while.  I have read that there might be compatibility issues with the MSI P67A-GD65 and the GTX 570 video cards.  Can anyone confirm this?  Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?  The only thing event viewer is showing is the unexpected shutdown when I have to power cycle it.  Thanks in advance!

    That can happen, & it can really mess things up if two kits are attempted to be run together. The platform is DDR3 1333 as to native support by the CPU IMC. If the system can't run on 1333 RAM speed at CR 1, 9 9 9 24 @ 1.50v's, then something is wrong. No system should ever have to use an OC (or X.M.P.) as a workaround to make it work. That's why I recommended the Crucial 1333. Plug one stick in the blue primary dimm slot to get everything loaded & checked out, & go from there.
    Exactly which SATA ports are you using for the HDD's & RAID? White Marvell or Intel SATA III, or the black SATA II? 
    Unfortunately, my local shop didn't have the Crucial, so I grabbed the Corsair instead.  The Velociraptors are running from SATA 1 and 2 (the top white connectors).  I also have 2X HITACHI Deskstar 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s running in RAID0 from SATA 3 and 4 for storage (this computer is intended for HD video editing, compositing in After Effects, etc.).  Sorry I forgot to mention that in the original post!
