Re: [MSI Z87-GD65] Problem with MSIHQ BIOS Helper

Thanks for the response - I had already contacted the seller, and they directed me to MSI who have a special webpage for it (to get the number to take to Nvidia).
The MSI process for some reason wasn't accepting the number but they have responded to ...

Z87-GD65 problem with USB3

I just bought some new pieces to upgrade my PC, including the Z87-GD65 mobo, i5-4670K CPU and a Samsung SSD 840 PRO 256 GB drive.
Everything went smooth, installed Win 7, all updates, drivers etc.. ran for a day.
Next day i wan't to move the cabinet into my closet, which i do, turn it on and i get a AE error, claiming "hardware device is missing"..!?
A few hours later, i conclude, that when ever i put one of my USB(2) devices, like keyboard, mouse, headset into any of the USB3 ports, the BIOS forgets everything about my SSD (primary disc)...
Sofar i have solved it by pluugging it all in my USB2 ports.
Any had this before or know what the cause could be and if there is a fix ?

What USB3 drivers are you using? Did you use the one on the CD? MSI should have updated drivers on their webpage, and intel web probably has newers than MSI, try all drivers.
But tbh i had a similar thing happen on me on GT70One, i used the newer ones form intel and had some issues with messages of windows displaying not correctly installed, and some other things that i dont remember, all this were solved by using the latest from the MSI webpage, but i did reformat since the drivers created a mess that i couldn't uninstall.
Personally i like to install the newest Chispset, RST and USB from intels website, but with MSI laptops and motherboards.... its weird. Btw im doing a Z87 GA65 build today, so you would save me the time to test at least one driver if you tell me what drivers gave you the problem? Intels, CD or MSI webpage?

MSI P55-GD65 - Problem with automatic fan control.

Hello.
I wish to share story of my fan speed controller.
Lately I've upgraded my machine to modern specs (look at signature) and I was quite happy about that.
It worked flawlessly for about week.
My H/W Bios settings was - CPU Smart Fan Target = 60°C and minimal fan speed 50%.
I was amazed how nicely GD65 maintained between heat and speed.
Yesterday, I've noticed that my fan is really quiet all the time, even when gaming (before it accelerate speed while hardcore gaming settings). I was quite content about that, until my computer crashed due to overheating while playing Battleforge match.
After reboot I've ran Intel BurnTest and HWmonitor. OH my, what was my surprise when I saw that fan speed is always 50% and do not speeds up when cores are heating up!
I started to checking things out. What I've discovered:
-(CPU Smart Fan ON) Fan is always at minimal speed given in BIOS. It doesn't accelerate even if CPU is burning.
-(CPU Smart Fan ON) Fan speed cannot be controlled by any program (like SpeedFan).
-(CPU Smart Fan OFF = 100% fan speed) Fan speed CAN be controlled by program like SpeedFan, which saves me from fan buzzing.
I've try to fix that by:
-Checking cables.
-Clearing CMOS.
-Updating BIOS to 1.6.
-Praying.
And still nothing.
My conclusion:
Fan speed cannot be change when Smart Fan is on, it locks fan speed at minimal speed given in bios.
Now I just hoping that this is somehow stock fan fault, new Zalman CNPS 10X QUIET is in delivery.

No problem here with Target 55° and Speed 37.5%.
Fan runs at 1330 below 58° and 2050 above which is max.
The CPU is running at 3050 MHz because of XMP 'overclocking'
Have reverted to BIOS version 1.3, due to XMP problems with other versions.

Share your O/C settings on your MSI Z87-GD65 board with I7-4770K CPU.

I'd like to see what voltages people are using to O/C their 4770K CPU's on this board.
What BIOS options are you changing from stock?
I can use 4.5GHz at 1.185 volts with the MSI Intel Extreme Tuning utility for 1/2 hour sessions with no problems but it locks up BSOD on the Prime95 test with 8 threads in seconds. I've jumped the voltages up to 1.25 for Prime95 testing, but it gives me the WHEA error in Windows and and gracefully reboots. I can't go higher than 1.25 on voltage because even 1.25 hits 100C on my Corsair H70 watercooler in a few minutes and starts throttling the CPU. I can use 1.2 volts without throttling, and it doesn't hit 100C, but 1.25 is too much. The other thing I've tried is running the CPU at 1.1 volts and 4.2GHz.
I'm curious what the rest of your guys have experienced?

MSI K7N2G overclock problem with new bios

I recently purchased a Radeon 9800 Pro and since then ive had nothing but problems.
Firstly the machine would randomly not bot, requiring many resets to get the video to initialise.
Also games would randomly CTD.
I found out that the MSI NForce 2 MB doesnt like Radeon cards and that it should be fixed in the latest bios updates.
I was using version 3.5 so decided to upgrade to the 3.9 version (very latest, it seems the board updates have stopped now)
Problems now begin :'(
I rest the bios after flashing and went in to set all the settings to exactly what they were before.
My old settings were:
1/1 memory (dual channel enabled)
175x12.5 Cpu (overclocked xp1700)
All other settings were maxed out including the memory timings.
This ran absolutetly 100% perfect for about 8 months until I installed the radeon and flashed the bios.
Now I can not even approach these settings.
If I attempt to run 1/1 memory speed (manual config) the machine makes single long beeps and doesnt initialise the display.
After trying different settings I managed to completly incap the board.
I only managed to fix it by installing my old GF3Ti 200(it then booted straight away)
It would not boot with the radeon even after 20 bios resets (removing battery etc etc)
Im now stuck with a machine that underperforms by 20% compared to the old bios.
Is there any reason why I can no longer overclock anywhere near the level I was before? (350mhz memory before >> now 266MAX!)
Please help before I am forced to spend another 80 quid (I cant afford) on the Abit NF7-S
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Buy the ABIT and save us the woes of rehashing this issue out with you as we've done with so many others now...what I believe that MSI did was loosen or tighten the specs to allow the Radeon to work with the MB but this is speculation on my part only...the initialization of the Radeons to date has been intermittent for most and non-existent for others...Glennvidia bought a 9800 a while back and had the same types of issues everyone else had just so that he could "see" for himself what the problems were...well he had problems and ended up returning the Radeon and left it at that, but he and I learned alot about it and came to the conclusion that for whatever reason MSI didn't hit the sweet spot for Radeon cards with their rendition of the nf2 chipset motherboard. It's a sad conclusion to make but if you went out and bought 3 to 5 MSI nf2 MB's and same for the Radeons I bet you'd find a combo that works together, maybe not flawlessly, but it'd work. There are some people on the forums here that have this combo and it does work flawlessly for them and they're really quite happy. They should also feel lucky about it as well because it wasn't the norm...
What you might do at this point is a search on this forum for Radeon and read the posts that you find regarding the issues and try some of the fixes that were posted and see if any of them work for you...this is a VERY talked about issue and left a very bad taste in a lot of mouths about who the users have blamed for the combo not functioning together...hell, who knows? It could be something Radeon did in their design and not MSI's design flaw at all...without extensive testing and documentation who is anyone to say who's "fault" it is?
In any case, I feel badly for you that it's not worked out the way you wanted it to and I hope that your next adventure into PC building goes better...

P67A-GD65 problem with newest BIOS - no fan control settings.

After instaling newest version (V1.16) of BIOS I cant find fan control settings (2 chasis fans + % of cpu fan). Theres only smart cpu target temp. and nothing else.
is this some sort of bug, or MSI lost their minds?
Oh, and CPU phase LED's are blinking like mad (those were not blinking at all before).

Flash back to your previous BIOS and report your finding to MSI.

MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming and msata speed issue...

Hi,
So I'm running the MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming with a 128GB SanDisk msata. Now it all works perfectly; no BSOD or crashes, but what I have noticed is that sometimes when the PC boots and I look in Intel Rapid Storage Technology, the msata on port 5 is running at 3Gb/s not 6Gb/s: I verified the speed loss using AS SSD benchmark. Reboot and it's back to 6Gb/s and back to full speed.
Anyone else seen this or have an idea of a solution?
Thanks

Quote from: JLio01 on 06-March-15, 14:21:58
How often can you notice the problem? You mentioned AS SSD Benchmark has speed loss, what's the result of speed test then?
I notice it a couple of times a day minimum

Msi Z87-GD65 Booting Failure With eSATA Drives

Hi Folks,
Before I go down the (probably ill-fated) Customer Service path I thought I'd address the forum here on a little problem I'm having with my Z87-GD65.
IN essence, if I have a hard drive connected to my eSATA port the PC won't boot. I'm using an ICYDOCK 4 bay external enclosure (MB561US-4SB if interested). If the drive itself is on but the HD trays are ejected then it boots. If any of the drives are secured then it'll hang at a post-BIOS/pre-Windows screen where all I get is a blinking cursor for about 30 seconds and then it disappears to a plain black screen. If the device is powered off then it boots.
I've checked the BIOS with one of the HDs running and it doesn't appear within my boot list - in fact, except for one selection in the bios allowing me to disable eSATA there really isn't much I can do there.
I've upgraded my BIOS to 1.30 from 1.00 and the process seems to move a bit further - now I get the oh-so-pretty ugly Windows logo and that's all.
When I do actually boot the PC with the ICYDOCK off then I'm able to get into Windows normally, and turn on the ICYDOCK. After a few seconds all 4 hard drives report in and everything's fine.
I've been using this ICYDOCK for about a year and a half, with 2 other motherboards (neither were an MSI) and i7 cores, and neither of them caused me any issues. I remember that neither of those boards had the port multiplier eSATA capability so I had to buy a controller card with that capability. I could probably dig that up and see if the problem remains.
In case you're wondering, if it helps, I built a Msi Z87-GD65/4770 i7 - based PC with 2 internal 2TB Hard Drives, and 16gb RAM. I already mentioned the ICYDOCK. I used LiveUpdate to install all the latest drivers & BIOS before uninstalling it.
I build & repair PCs for a living so I'm pretty familiar with what's going on with the system. I figure that there must be something happening between the BIOS and Windows "handoff" of the ICYDOCK, but I'm damned if I can figure out just what.

More information please. PSU, OS being used, etc..
Live Update is best uninstalled. Flash UEFI/BIOS the safer way;

Z87-GD65 USB headset and BIOS 1.7 problems

OK...as i've stated on these forums before there is a problem with attaching USB headsets with this motherboard. There is already many posts about the problem so it "is a problem". F.R.E.Q 5 headphone will not work with the mobo, other people on these forums have also complained about razor headsets not working, as I agree with that it is a well known razor has compatibility issues I still think this is a mobo issue that MSI need to address. Logitech G35 work fines...but every other usb headset i've tried doesnt...this is on both 1.3 bios and 1.6. I've also tried other workarounds to no avail.
Any MSI guys readin this...these are the headphone i'm talking about
http://www.cyborggaming.com/prod/freq5.htm
NOW..the BIOS issue...the new 1.7 that has been released...DONT FLASH IT....it just bricked my mate mobos...lucky the GD65 has dual bios. I tried it to see if it happened to get his freq 5 working...but the PC wouldn't post.
Any comments or development on this situations on this issue will be greatly appreciated.

Quote from: Nichrome on 08-December-13, 03:57:18
Personally I don't think it's a problem with a BIOS.
Have you tried updating all the drivers? Especially Audio..
Like I said, i've tried every workaround from bios to drivers. Been on these forums, other forums, other sources and no solution seems to work. There is nothing wrong with the headphones as they work on every other PC i've tried and those have had different mobos. Those headphones even work on my Z87 MPower MAX no problem..it is just this Z87 GD65 board. Could be just a bad apple out of the bunch...but I doubt we'll get a RMA for it just cause one sort of headphones wont work on it. Now my mate got a pair of $170 headphones sitting there he cant use.
And as the to 1.7 bios...just by going off the few posts on here i'd be pulling it asap, obviously not alot of testing has been done on it. Just lucky the board has the dual bios option.

You have 3 PCI-E x16 slots (x8-x4-x4) and 4 PCI-E x1 slots.
On the other hand, your CPU is limited to 16 PCI-E lanes.
Those 3 x RB44Ge routers are PCI-E x4, so you're going to use ALL the PCI-E x16 slots for them.
With the remaining PCI-E lanes you need to be lucky ...

Flashing of MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING failed and dual bios not helping, not sure why?

Hi all
For the first time in 20 years Ive had a firmware flash fail it seems.
I have a MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING and updated the bios with the latest firmware via the "M-FLASH" utility within the systems bios.
All seemed to have gone well, it flashed to 100% rebooted and then just a blank screen and a sequence of keyboard light flashes.
After a minutes panic I thought not to worry, the motherboard has a dual bios. So I powered down and switched the bios switch to bios B hoping it would assist and the problem is identical.
Any tips anyone?

I just tried this along with removing power from the main board and it seems one of the two did it! thanks

MSI Z87-GD65 SLI problem

I have been using the z87-gd65 motherboard with an msi gtx 770 since they both came out, and they have both been working great. I recently just purchased a second msi gtx 770 for SLI, however when I enable SLI, and try to play ANY game it will either crash immediately or run the game and the screen will flicker very bad. Both cards are functioning great if used individually as a single card. Has anyone else run into any SLI issues with this motherboard? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
so far some of things I have tried to no avail are...
-updated motherboard bios
-updated both video card vbios individually
-tested each card individually
-tested each pci-express slot individually
-replaced SLI bridge connector
-reset BIOS defaults
-tested all available nvidia drivers since the gtx 770 was released
-swapped power supplies (both are 850 Watt with 70+ on the 12v rail)
-changed various game tweaks/profiles and vsync options at different refresh rates

Quote from: xmad on 16-November-13, 02:00:25
If you need to raise the voltage to run at default speeds, the card is most likely defective. A vbios update sometimes helps, but it should work at default settings.
I had 1 ASUS 660ti OC version, had this for a year and worked great without any changes (updated vbios it cause of GOP). 2 weeks ago i bought a second one, MSI 660ti Power Edition OC (also updated vbios cause of GOP). Tested the second one as single as well without issues and without any changes to the voltage.
But running it in SLI mode causes crashes, i personally thought because they are both overclocked and running in SLI that they need a bit more voltage. I've read this in a post as well and it surely solved my SLI crashing issues.

I have a z87-gd65 motherboard with a 4770k intel 7 cpu and i have so much problem with OC it.
When i use the OC Genie button and I do a cold boot start i get Previous overclock settings have failed and I have to reset to default. Ive been using guides to OC by myself but i still gets the Error.
the settings i used the last time was.
vCore -1.250v @4.4, 4.3 and 4,2 Ghz
Cache - 1.150V @3.5
Vrin (cpu input voltage) 1.900v
I have used adaptive and override voltages and fixed cpu ratio mode.
I havnt touched the memory or gpu.
I have used prime for stresstesting and it always works like a charm. I can play BF4 for hours without any prolems. Its always when the computer has been turned off for the night and when i do a colt boot the error appear.

turning off fast boot and reseating ram sticks and increasing ram voltage made it work for me.

Checking ram that works with MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING Intel Z87 Motherbo

Was wondering if Vengeance pro series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 DRAM 2400MHz C10 Memory Kit (CMY16GX3M2A2400C10R) will work good on MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING Intel Z87 Motherboard or if im gonna need to do some tweeking.

Since in the components purchasing stage for the project, a few tips for you. Check with the PSU manufacturer to make sure it is Haswell compliant. I like single rail +12V PSU's made by Corsair, but there are other good ones out there too. OS is also important. I prefer Win 7 Ultimate 64 Bit, but if you go with Win 8 or 7, some GTX 780 issues may arise. GOP, VBIOS, mainboard updated to the very newest UEFI/BIOS etc. can be involved. UEFI/BIOS update is a good place to start if the graphics card gives you trouble. Research as much as you can prior to the build. Advance planning helps a lot on what to possibly expect.
Here is the thread for UEFI/BIOS's;
