P67A-GD65 & i7-2600K BIOS update

As the title of this topic states, I have a P67A-GD65 board with an i7-2600K CPU. I read a lot about updating the BIOS to version 4.x (current version is 1.19), but I got confused whether I can safely update the BIOS of my mainboard with this CPU or not. Some people seem to succeed and some don't. Is it possible to update the BIOS from 1.19 to 4.x with this combination of MB and CPU and if so, which exact version should I choose and is there anything I should absolutely not do wrong in the process?

All 4.x bios versions are meant for using Ivy Bridge cpus (ME8). In most cases overclocking Sandy Bridge cpus doesn't work with those or not properly. On the other hand all new versions work that way and a newer version is needed for supporting latest Geforce GTX7x0 vgas. So if you want to use latest stuff on your board switch to the latest bios (4.3). If no hardware change is planned stick to the latest Sandy bios (1.19).
If wanting to upgrade to 4.3 use the attached archive and >>use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<. With the tool point to the attached and NOT unpacked bios archive (Mode1: Point to Archive) and let the tool prepare a flash stick for you.

P67A-GD65 (B3) latest BIOS update won't change CPU multiplier

Hello everyone, Before I explain my problem these are the components I'm using.
Motherboard:P67A-GD65 (B3)
CPU:Intel 2600k
So just recently I flashed my BIOS to the most recent version which is 4.3. and before this I was running my multiplier at 4.5 with no issues. But now when I change my multiplier programs like CPU-ID and CoreTemp aren't reflecting the changes being made in my BIOS they just show the stock speed the CPU runs at which is 3.4GHz. But then windows shows that the changes have been made so I don't know what to believe. Also in the BIOS screenshot you can see at the top it says my CPU is running at 3.8 GHz You can check out the screen shots to see what I mean. Anyways my question is, Is my CPU really overclocked right now or is Windows lying to me and if it is, how can I fix this?

The "Fix My USB Key" process worked. Thanks.
Unfortunately the re-flash of the BIOS to official 4.3 didn't make any difference to the problem.
CPU is still throttling down from 4.5GHz to 3.9GHz as soon as load is applied.
Can you confirm what settings I should have for -
C1E Support
Overspeed Protection
Intel C-State
Any other ideas?
I do a lot of video encloding work and this throttling is increasing encode times significantly, i.e. from 4-hours to 7-hours.

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

MSI p55-gd65 1.8 bios update issue

Here we go:
So I prompted myself to update my p55-gd65 bios from...either 1.6 or 1.7? to 1.8 I used the LiveUpdate Online feature on MSI's website. Seemed to be fine after until my computer sometimes froze while watching streaming flash videos.
I thought it was caused by an outdate video driver so I updated it, either before or after the video update (can't remember) I shut down and reset the CMOS settings (took out the battery for +30sec), still froze.
Decided to Update the Intel 3/4/5 Chipset v9.1.1 provided by MSI, completely wiped the video driver, reinstalled it, still froze. Wiped adobe flash player and cache from firefox, reinstalled flash...still froze.
I noticed too late that the LiveUpdate requires 32bit Win7. and that the manual DL for the bios update I tried installing popped up with an OS incompatibility error. Does v1.8 not support 64bit? or would it have been better for me to flash the bios update?
Thanks for any help!

Can you post a screenshot of CPU-Z 'Memory' & 'SPD' tabs? I don't know on the P55 MB's but on both of mine that RAM runs perfect out of the box on Auto setting in BIOS at 1333, 9, 9, 9, 24, 1T @ 1.47V. Of course CPU-Z will show 1.5V for it.
here's the screens:

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.

P67A-GD65 (B3) - Latest BIOS Killed PC

I don't know what I was thinking downloading the latest BIOS when it clearly states recommended for Ivy Bridge only. I'm running with a Sandy Bridge i5.
Problem is as follows:
Call of Duty : Black Ops 2 is doing some weird stuff like not displaying at 1080p without crashing and not being able to v-sync. This is the only game in my library that has this problem
So someone suggested I upgrade the BIOS which is a fair statement as mine was 1 year out of date. So, I copy the exe to the USB disk and let it do it's thing. PC reboots and powers up:
- System power is OK (still not BIOS) but my 6950 GPU fan is doing something strange, then I remembered that I flashed it to a 6970 BIOS. Luckily it has a backup BIOS feature, so I switch back to default
- The PC reboots and the BIOS updates / backs up the BIOS. Great.
- PC now boot for 1 second then powers off, repeatedly for infinity
I've cleared the CMOS and tried another PSU, removed everything but the CPU, but it seems to clear that the mobo has some micro code that is preventing the CPU from starting. It was OC'd to 4.2 but clearing the CMOS should reset to factory. I don't know....
I'm a bit lost and have almost thrown in the towel. The PC is in bits at home now and I've contacted the reseller to see if they will kindly RMA it.
Strange thing is this mobo has a backup BIOS. How do I access when my PC doesn't boot?

Quote from: finakechi on 18-November-12, 07:11:56
I actually just updated to the newest BIOS myself.
I am running a SB i7
My PC still boot (I JUST installed W8 x64)
It is is acting a bit weird.
Though I am not sure if it is the External USB 3.0 enclosure atm or the mobo.
USB 3.0 speeds are sloooowwww.
Acessing the drive is slow as heck too, even if it use a 2.0 port.
windows 8 ... more people complain about it making usb 3.0 slow ;S

Non B3 version, as im aware ME can't be flashed,
therefor update to newest BIOS base isn't possible
Do not try MSI updater all in one .exe file, which would brick the board for sure for such case.
Although you can still have a try by safest flashing way,
use this bios archive:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/28rdsq4lzzwmeyl/430.rar?dl=0
and try again using the >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< mode 1 point to bios archive file as before
if can't be flashed it will through an error and will refuse to flash it
Hey Svet, thanks for the reply.....
Well im not quite sure what happened, my new GPU got delivered and i thought you what i'll install it to the board and see what happens, im sure it won't work but hey it's worth a try......
Well everything so far is working fine, GPU installed, drivers installed and i have tried a few games and they look great.
Could it be that the bios is flashed to 4.3 but its not showing on the screen?
Thanks

P67A-GD65 1.4 Bios faulty? Which new bios is stable?

Hello I have a GD65 mobo running the 1.4 bios but I've had bad problems overclocking it wouldn't go above 4.2ghz at 1.25v, wouldn't even boot into bios at 1.35v at 4.6ghz (Machine Check Error). So I used the OC genie function, set it to 4.2ghz at 1.25v which is what I had before manually, that ran stable for a couple of hours. After I got up from bed today the machine once again won't boot into BIOS (Machine Check Error), so I pressed the clear cmos button a couple of time, then the BIOS setting became really messed up like cpu freq was 28.21ghz or the bios would crash if I clicked anything or I get Machine Error or flashing cursor when I boot up.
Long story short, pressed the clear cmos button several times but without going into bios the first time on start, after windows loaded, then restarted to go into bios, now it was stable and I could change settings without freezing, but I found it set my CPU to 46 multiplier and vcore auto and ram to 2133mhz without me giving it the instruction.
I'm thinking it's all to do with the faulty 1.4 bios? Am I right? Also is the newer BIOS stable? I don't want to my motherboard to be bricked, like this guy on youtube updated his bios to v1.7 and bricked his mobo.

P67A-GD65 bios update

My P67A-GD65 came with bios 1.4. I'm having some problems with memory, and am hoping that 1.7 fixes it.
When I update to 1.7, I can't save any changes to the bios, it just hangs. Fortunately, I was able to downgrade back to 1.4 (thankfully I saved it first).
Anyone else have this issue? No a way to fix it?
I'm thinking about returning this MOBO because of all the issues I'm having with it.

MSI p67a-gd65 dead after last bios update 4.0

hi, i read and execute exactly the bios update ver. 4.0 for MSI p67a-gd65, oll goes ok, update bios and ME successful , but after restart ... main board dead!!! i prove reset cmos ... nothing .... mainboard starts and work only 1 second, after that restart in an infinite loop with work 1 second and restart, i must disconnnect the power cable to stop that infinite reset!!
mainboard damage?

Quote from: Differentone on 02-June-12, 20:30:48
I think you failed at disconnect the power while in loop.
Because of was the same as me, infinite loop like 4~5 times and after continued to install.
Here for an explanation look at page 4 > http://event.msi.com/mb/22nm/Bios_ME7_to%20_ME8_update_SOP_EN.pdf
If you didnt seen this part, failed and.... I dont know what can you do at this point.
in fact the problem was after this last update mentioned on page 4 of SOP guide that you linked and that i was read ... all ... but what is strange is that i have no display error during all update .. alla goes fine ...after last reboot ... dead.
someone can tell us what's happened? i'm not newbie about this procedures of bios update ...without any problem.

BIOS update could depend on exactly which CPU is selected, but for most, the BIOS of 1.4 seems to be the current release version. It supports the majority of CPU's to date. If not planning on OC'ing, or any glitches encountered of compatibility issues, no need to update BIOS. Your 8800gts should run great.

P67A-GD65 freezing up

I've never seen a "Forum" that wants new topics for the exact same problems (spreading potential fixes for the same issue all over the place instead of in one thread), but apparently if I post to another topic from someone with identical problems (the one right below this one with the same issue) I'm called a thread hijacker.
Seems like a ton of people are having these issues with lockups with the P67A-GD65

Then go to another machine and RDP to it, no problems. Wait about an hour, RDP and you get "Welcome" and it just hangs.
So if I go to the console, it tells me someone else is trying to login, but no drive activity at all, and won't let me do anything and I have to hard power off.
If I'm at the machine, just doing different "normal" things, browser windows lockup, applications lockup, all requiring a hard shutdown by the button since I can't select the option to reboot normally. No BSOD's, no OC, the OC Genie is OFF
My memory is even certified for this damn board on bios 1.B which I have updated to. But in "auto" doesn't even get the memory timings correct.
http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=378
I'm Going nutz trying to figure out what the f--k is going on. I even ran the on board memory test and it passed.
I'm thinking that quality control on this production line is crap. I've seen a ton of complaints of BSOD's, rebot loops, and random lockups which can be reproduced easily.
MSI? Are you going to fix this!!!
How about posting the serial numbers of the bad run from manufacturing so users can see if they have a bad board? I've been building systems for 15 years and I've never had so much trouble with a board.
Has anyone had a success story that wasn't from an RMA? I haven't found a post where a user had these issues and made a few bios changes and they came back with "great, that fixed it".
Thanks

I've heard that kind of thing a million times. Be that as it may, it does not really tell us anything about the actual cause of the problem. Furthermore, if you are so sure it is the board, why didn't you simply send it back/RMA it/have it exchanged after you have ruled all other explanations out systematically?

There are thousands of freeze issues on all different hardware configurations. However, more important than the symptoms are the precise hardware configuration the freezes occur in and the actual causes for the common symptom. Once the causes are truly found out it makes sense to compare similar issues. It should not be done, however, because of a common symptom. And that is exactly why your problem (and any other problem that is just a symptom at first) deserves its own, seperate thread.

Please reduce the complexity of your system to the most basic configuration needed to run your operating system. Use one stick of RAM only, make sure it is set to run at a frequency that does not exceed the specifications of the processor's memory controller (DDR3-1333 max.!). Unplug all the hard drives, optical drives, SSDs, card readers, add-on cards, USB devices etc. that are not needed to work with the operating system (you need just mouse, keyboard, video card, processor, one stick of RAM).
Once you have reduced the system complexity and please unplug your PSU from A/C power, >>Clear CMOS<< and then load "Optimized Defaults" in UEFI Setup. Then apply your custom settings (e.g. RAID Mode settings & Memory Speed = DDR3-1333).
Then retest.
In case the freezes still occur, then please disable all CPU related power saving settings in UEFI Setup (C1E, C-States, EIST) and retest. Also, try if setting the phase control mode from "APS" to "Intel SVID" mode.

Weird boot sequence - MSI P67A-GD65

I have a prob with my board;
1. I turn on the pc in a normal fashion
2. The PC starts up (powers on), and I hear the fans and HDDs spinning
3. The PC stays on power for a few seconds, then powers down.
4. The PC restarts on its own and performs a normal boot into windows.
I can't find the solution for this weird problem. I have memory from the recommended list from the msi site, and updated my bios to the most recent version in an attempt to fix the problem. I have found a similar problem on another site, but this is a mb of a different brand, namely Asus. LINK -> http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=265454
The solution given there is a bios update (what I've already did) or change some bios settings, but asus uses different names for the settings, so I'm confused.
I have this problem in normal mode (load optimized defaults) and also in mild OC situations. I have the most recent bios from the MSI site.

Also strange this is that is does not happen always, but maybe in 70-80% of cases. Haven't figured out what's the catch, but it does not happen when everything is on default/auto.

P67A-GD65 stuck on Windows logo

Hello,
I have the following configuration:
MB: MSI P67A-gd65 (B3) (7681v1J BIOS)
CPU: Intel 2600k
GFX: HD7950
MEMORY: 2 x 4Gb Gskill RIPJAWS 1600Mhz 9-9-9-24 (CR1) (blue slots)
DISKS: Samsung SSD 470 128GB (latest FW) + Samsung F3 1TB
Soundcard: Asus Essence ST
PCIe: TP-Link 150Mbps N
Windows sometimes hangs on boot screen (logo), and I am forced to reset the PC, I must add that I have no OC.
Since ever I experiencing this situation, I already changed GFX, changed memory for a 4Gb kit, changed to black slots, tried with different MB BIOS, reset BIOS and removed the battery for one night, replaced wifi card, use Windows to try to repair, with no success.
I have also formatted my computer several times (Windows 7 x64 original), the first time it boots into Windows it locks on boot screen and I am forced to reset it via button.
The settings I am using on the BIOS are the deafult ones, I just enable CPU power savings (C1E, Overload Protection and C-State.
), AHCI on the SATA ports and HOT PLUG applied to SSD (like MSI advised on the MB site), and I put memory to link and 9-9-9-24 (CR1).
I can also add that some weeks ago I was editing some images, and the computer simply locked, I even lost mouse light. I unplugged it from the wall socket, tried to turn it on but it only beeped, I have reseted its BIOS via button on the back of the MB, the only way I was able get back the computer, was to remove every single device connected to MB and connect it again.
I am begining to think that I have all this time a faulty MB.
Can you please share your opinions?

Hello Bernhard, thanks for your fast response.
I forgot to mention PSU, its a Corsair TX-650W v2, do you think it can be related? At the moment I only have at my disposal a brand new Corsair 430CX.
To be honest I already tried so many things that I do not remember if I have put memory to 1333Mhz (native IMC), I will try it as well.
That last advice I have never done it, I will try it and let you know if it worked or not!
