P67A-GD65/P67A-GD55/P67A-GD53 Vdroop fix

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.

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...

  • P67A-GD53\GD65 BIOS compatibility

    Hi, the question is: do P67A-GD53\GD65 boards use the same bios, so it is safe to flash, for example gd65 bios to gd53 board?
    Thanx in advance.

    Any specific reason you want to flash at all?
    BIOS is NOT a driver, if the system is fine it should be left alone.

  • MSI P67A-GD53 (B3) Bios failure?

    Hello everyone,
    I am in a bit of trouble, and I'm hoping someone can help me out.  I'd like to say that I've only flashed mobos a few times in the past but never had any problems until now so I'm kinda unsure with what to do.
    I was getting some BSOD now and then while playing games and decided to update the BIOS etc to see if that would help fix it.  Well, I flashed from the 1.A bios (2011-03-30) to the latest one from the BIOS menu.  It got to about 98% then restarted and now it just BSOD's over and over, I'm lucky if I can get into Windows, the BSOD's are usually all sorts of different things.  I have tried flashing back to the previous BIOS but no difference - I really hope I haven't killed the board.  I've tried clearing the CMOS - made no difference.  Tried to boot from optical to reinstall Windows but it crashes before I can even get into setup . . . any ideas?

    Well, what if it is the SSD after all?  You believe or hope that it is not that, but how do you know?

    always been really good.  Apart from the occasional BSOD
    That does not sound "really good" to be honest...
    Test a regular hard drive.  Do you get BSODs with that, too?

  • P67A-GD53 turns off after 5 seconds... reboot loop.

    So I built my brand new PC and it would only stay on for 5 seconds, then shut off for a few seconds, then repeat.
    I've read all over that you need to start taking parts away to see what fixes it. I got it all the way down to the motherboard, PSU, and CPU+fan running on my kitchen table. The mobo has an 'On' button which lets me do this without a case.
    I've tried a different PSU with no solution. I also own a laser thermometer and the CPU temp does not go over room temperature. I've also reset the CMOS via the button, and taking out the battery + jumper too.
    So it must be the CPU or mobo, right? Am I right in assuming it would be very unlikely the brand new CPU has failed. That would mean the mobo was defective right out of the box, correct?
    I've read a lot that this is a common issue with the P67 boards. Would you agree it is the culprit?

    No, no assumptions unless the fact has been proven. Test the CPU on another known working board.
    At this point I would say you have an even chance of a defective CPU, PSU or MB. You will need to test them all with known working systems. But before you do that......
    Your 4/8pin CPU power plug. Recheck that its properly seated.
    Only insert one RAM module in the first slot closest to the CPU.
    Do a full CMOS clear and remove the battery whilst doing that. >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
    Restart the PC with only one RAM module and report back.
    EDIT: btw what RAM are you using?

  • P67A-GD53 - B3 a few questions regarding a 2500K

    Just came from a P45 Platinum and Q9550 (which I love and it's now in my secondary PC) to a P67A-GD53 - B3 and 2500K. Wow these chips fly!
    I've updated to the latest bios (1.19, should put those Ivy Bridge bios 4.xx files in a separate section, confusing as I nearly updated to one by accident) which has solved a number of issues (mouse not working in BIOS, better fan control.) Great!
    However, have a few more niggling problems.
    1) I had to place 2x8GB sticks in dimm 2 and 4 due to my heatsink. In the manual it says populate dimm 1 and 3 first for dual channel.
    Common sense tells me dimm 2 and 4 should still work fine, however nowhere in the bios does it tell me I'm running in dual channel mode. I tried disabling the boot pic, but the darn thing boots so fast I can't for the life of me read what it says on post - even pause/break won't register it's so fast. Sooo...
    Does anyone know how to check if it's running in dual channel mode? CPU-Z says dual, but doesn't mention symmetrical / asymmetrical etc, the box is greyed out. Or is there no such thing as symmetrical / asymmetrical on a 2500K?
    2) The bios does one long beep followed by two short beeps on post. I have only a USB mouse attached. P45 used to beep for USB devices, but this is different. It works 100% fine, but what's with the annoying beeps on post? Do I have to unplug the case speaker to avoid that racket each boot? No options to turn off in bios. Also why is it doing it? Makes it seem like something is wrong on post, but can't identify any issues.
    3) P45 Platinum used to still downclock voltage when you manually set it - it would simply add a + or - offset to all speedstep default voltages depending on what you manually selected.  The P67A-GD53 - B3 doesn't have this option - is this for Z68 boards only, or am I limited to sticking with AUTO only. AUTO actually seems to set it really well for turbo 4.2Ghz settings using around 1.30v (which the board seems optimised for a standard 2500K overclock), however it's strange this option was taken away when other P67 boards seem to have it.
    4) Active Phase Switching (APS) vs Intel CPU Power Phase control. Why have both? I'd imagine APS is now redundant now Intel have phase control logic as part of their specification.
    5) C1E is disabled by default. This is a bios controlled improved HALT status, switching off clocks and voltages. Did some checks and it seems 99% of power savings come from Windows controlled C-States and EIST (speedstep) on the 2500K and C1E actually isn't really needed anymore - in fact it can cause issues with SSD performance, latency and can prevent Windows having complete control of C-States in power management. Decided to leave this disabled as saw some power meter tests and it really did nothing vs other modern C-States once Windows boots up.

    1.) With the pxx series 1 & 3 or 2&4 are both fine.
    2.) The first beep is probably ok "ok" post beep , then mouse and keyboard.
    3.) You should be able to get around a 4.5 ghz turbo oc with your set-up. See screen shots here of sample settings: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162043.0
    The vdroop options are your platform aren't very good and I believe are opposite. So set your to "low". (Test each way I don't have that board)
    4.) I enabled both and was stable on a previous computer.
    5.) C1E supports has been replace by Intel C State.

  • P67A-GD53 (B3) Boot Problems

    Hello all, having a problem with my computer that I believe is to do with the motherboard and could use any input, I downloaded the latest bios for the mobo and flashed from a usb while in windows, it finished and restarted the system, after the boot it updated the ME and restarted again, this time it didn't boot it just would turn on for 2/3 seconds and then turn off and then the same thing again, the power as in the fans/noise seems to come on nothing appears on screen then after 3 seconds it goes off, kinda a stop start loop, ive already tried taking out the coin battery, resetting the cmos, using each of the ram sticks in turn, without the hard disk and with another graphics card.
    I know (atleast now) that people advise to update the bios in a boot process or something but I was just impatient and tried from windows, so i accept that ive seriously frelled up and its my fault here, can this actually be fixed, or is the mobo bricked and this is a excuse to upgrade, maybe a Z77A-G45 witha i5-3570k (i can atleast get something outa this... ).
    Any advice, suggestions is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance

  • P67A-GD53 drivers won't even install.

    So I built my first system today. I installed windows on it and was very pleased with how it was all going until I started trying to install the motherboard drivers. The motherboard I have is the P67A-GD53, with 64-bit windows. I am definite that I have downloaded the correct drivers.
    Every driver I have tried to install met me with a different error message. The graphics driver tells me that it is meant for a different bit OS, when I'm on 64-bit windows 7 and the driver is meant for a 64-bit windows 7. The chipset driver spoke of how the "side-by-side configuration is incorrect". The LAN driver threw up a very strange (-5001 :0ffffxce) error. And of course, none of these errors hold any meaning to me when typed into google.
    So I think 'Ok, I'll just install them from the Mobo disc, no biggy.' That'd be great if the disc was actually able to be read. It sits in the drive, does nothing, so I double click on it in My Computer and the green loading bar at the top goes all the way along at speeds that couldn't make a snail jealous. After this My Computer gets set to 'Not Responding'. It can't be a fault with the optical drive because it installed Windows fine from the disc.
    So I think, 'This is very strange but maybe I just need to reboot.' So I shut the damn thing down and it takes for-:censored: -ever to do so. This has an i5-2500k with 8GB of RAM and a Samsung F3, it shouldn't take me five minutes to get from 'Logging off' to 'Shutting down'.
    And, by the way, the restart did nothing. The same problems remain.
    So does anybody know what the hell is going on? I have done nothing to the system other than installed Windows 7 and tried to install the drivers. If any more information is required then I'll be happy to give it.
    Thank you and sorry for the long, long, long read.

    Recommend moving the ODD to port #4. In the BIOS, controller mode has three settings, if AHCI is desired for example, it should be set to that prior to the initial install of the OS. If another is available you can test with, I would probably try with a different HDD just to rule out that the one you are using isn't faulty in some way. Management Engine driver installed & showing in Device Manager?
    In Device Manager I can only see one device that says management and that is 'Microsoft Windows Management Interface for ACPI'. That's not the right thing is it?
    I will move the ODD to port 4 and check the BIOS to see what controller mode I am in. Unfortunately I do not have a spare hard drive lying around.
    It's in IDE Mode according to the BIOS, but I don't know if I am meant to put it into AHCI or not.
    After looking around online a bit, I have come to the conclusion that I do not need/want AHCI. I'll leave it in IDE (unless switching it to AHCI is a solution to my problem).
    Disregard everything about this thread
    Moving the ODD to port 4 somehow fixed every single problem that I had. HU16E, I now understand your title of 'Forum God'. Thank you so much.

  • Help, P67A-GD53 B3 won't boot

    Hi,
    Please help
    Had my p67a-gd53b3 for a few months now. About 2 months ago, it wouldn't boot with 2 sticks of corsair vengeance DDR3 1600. Too fix this I removed one, booted no problem.
    Today nothing, no boot. No error messages, all 7 power LEDs light, reset CMOS, rebuilt Pc.
    Strange thing I don't even have a error with no ram installed.
    I am thinking its either the mobo is gone, or could be the PSU. RAM is on order anyway.
    Any ideas or pointers would be great!!!

    In the manual it states you can press the CMOS reset button and the system should restart. It doesn't do this but I have done it and no luck
    Another symptom is the monitor seems to get a signal but displays nothing. Pointing to the GPU
    I don't have anyother computers available to me. So I can't remove and test, I will have to buy new ones and check that way. I ve also done a rebuild with the new ram but again no luck

  • PCI-E slot possibly not working (P67A-GD53)

    Hello all,
    New guy here. New MSI customer and everything.
    I just built a new PC today with a MSI P67A-GD53. I first plugged in the VGA (a MSI GeForce GTX 560Ti OC Twin FrozR II) to the top PCI-E slot.
    On boot, I get what I think is a VGA problem beep code (1 long - 3 short beeps). This happened with 2 different VGAs. I also tried my old XFX 8800 GT.
    The computer boots fine when I plug in the MSI VGA to the second (bottom) PCI-E slot.
    Does this mean that the top slot is broken? I guess I could try the 8800 at the same time to see if it works when 2 VGAs are plugged in, but I suspect it wont. Should I get the motherboard replaced? I am considering not getting it replaced now since I ordered it from the UK and I live in Cyprus and replacement could take a month to complete (posting overseas). Would that be a bad idea? I fear that if one part of the motherboard is faulty, it could potentially have other problems as well.

    are you sure you got the stand offs right under the board
    I might have missed a hole, but I definitely didn't leave any old stand-offs that might short the board from underneath.
    I'll recheck and add any missing and get back to you.

  • P67A-GD53 stuck in APS LED 1, No Beep and Black Screen

    Hi,
    I just got my full new gaming Pc, I mount all component and when I press PWR Button, fans, leds, GPU, HDD and all items switch on, but my APS led 1 stuck in LED 1, no beeps black screen, and it can stay all night on without changing...

    I know for sure you will have more questions when you get the Z77 but one thing is when you do get it is don't assemble it in the case right away. Do initial assembly outside the case with MB on a sheet of plain brown cardboard or on a cardboard box. That will save you time and extra work until you get it running properly.
     One hint now is for initial start up use only 1 stick of RAM in the black slot nearest the CPU, do not put all of the sticks in right away. Also take note that the green LAN LED will probably not light up on the first start up, that's normal and will be OK after it is started a 2nd time. That will happen every time you remove power from the MB such as unplugging PSU or turning off the PSU switch. We'll be here waiting for you to answer any more questions you may have.
    Thanks for the information!
    It will arrive tomorrow, I will tell you how is it going.

  • MSI P67A-GD53 P67 cannot get sound nor internet

    Hey, it's my 1st time with Intel products and windows 7. I installed my mobo drivers tonight, but I cannot seem to get any sound out nor get my internet working... I never had this problem before
    Mobo- MSI P67A-GD53 P67 SLI CrossFireX
    Do I need to do something different than with AMD products ?!
    Thx in advance

    Ok, do you see the Realtek HD Audio correctly installed in your Device Manager?
    When you plug speakers into MoBo, do you get a auto pop-up dialog from Audio Manager?
    If not, you have to click yellow folder (in the upper right corner on the picture below) and to enable that dialog.
    Does Realtek Audio Manager see anything connected to your board?
    On my picture you can see 5 jacks faded,  but one ( green) in which I have speakers connected is in full colour.
    When you right-click you mouse on that jack , it has to be dedicated to 'front speaker out'.

  • Windows will not load while a USB is plugged into P67A-GD53 (B3)

    There are a couple issues here but that is the main one that I'm dealing with. I just built a new rig a few days ago and for some reason Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit will freeze at the Windows logo if I have any external devices (USB, speaker jack, etc.) plugged into it. If I unplug everything from it, Windows will start as normal, I'll just plug everything back in after the Windows logo screen and I'll experience no issues while running. I've installed all drivers that I could from the Windows device manager however, I was not able to boot from the drivers and utilities disk that came with the P67A-GD53 (B3). The CD would load to the Winki install options screen, I'd select to install and then the screen would go black. When I load the disk from the desktop the online update option sends me to a 404 page . No beeps on start up. Any ideas?

     Did you do a fresh install of Windows on the HDD or is it an old install and simply transferred HDD from old system?

  • P67A-GD53 RAID Question

    Hi All
    Very quick question re RAID set-up on a P67A-GD53. Sorry if this analogy is lost on everyone, but do these boards handle arrays like, say, a Dell PERC card does? Essentially, is the array handled entirely by the hardware and transparent to any Operating System/Hypervisor that may be installed on the volumes presented to it by the controller.
    I'm sure the answer, whatever it may be, is common to all MSI boards with RAID controllers and possibly to all consumer boards-I've just never had any experience of them!
    Many thanks
    Rob

    Onboard RAIDs are mainly software controlled unlike hardware RAIDs by add-on cards.

  • MSI P67A-GD53 (B3) - BSOD if 2 sticks of DRAM used in dual mode

    Hi there,
    I have an issue with BSOD when using 2 sticks of DRAM when the machine is overclocked or the DRAM is set to 1333MHZ and above.
    Initially I got the system up and running and over clocked using the OC Genie button on the mother board over clocking to 4.3GHZ which ran great but after a day or 2 I got
    BSOD. Initially I thought this was due to an SSD failure so I brought another OCZ AGILITY 3 SSD and reinstalled windows 7 and again after a few days I got BSOD.
    This time however I ran memtest at bootup and saw errors appearing. I tested each DRAM stick separately and they were error free after running memtest on each for a good few hours.
    When I put both RAM sticks back in dual mode the errors appeared again. I turned off OC genie and ran the same testes on the RAM with the same results.
    Now in the bios I noticed that the DRAM was set to run at 1333MHZ so I changed this to 1600MHZ (the speed on the label on the DRAM itself) and ran memtest once more which through up loads of errors. So then I changed it to 1066MHZ, ran memtest and bingo! no errors!
    So now I have my machine running nicely unclocked with the DRAM running at 1066MHZ.
    Thing is I want to be able to overclock my machine and discover what is causing this DRAM failure.
    It would appear that there is no issue with the hardware as it all works at slower speeds.
    What could be causing the BSOD when the machine is overclocked or when the DRAM is running at more than 1066MHZ?
    many thanks

    You do that. For the P67 boards, the earmarked slots for 2 memory modules are 1 and 3.
    The applied memory voltage may be a tad too low. You can up that to 1,575 manually.
    The BIOS version is the latest for Sandy Bridge processors.
    Insert only one memory module in the first slot closest to the CPU. Then do a full CMOS clear with power cord removed, and retest your system again with only the one module.
    If the tests are good, then add the second module.

Maybe you are looking for
