Recommended memory settings in P55-GD65 BIOS

Hi All,
I was having all kind of BSOD problems with OCZ (OCZ3G1333LV4GK) memory on the P55-GD65 motherboard.
All problems seems to be solved by manually setting the DRAM voltage to 1.65v in the BIOS.
The rest of the settings is still on auto. Will it be good to manually adjust these also, for performance and a stability?
If so, what settings I have to make?

Thanks for the reply.
The BIOS shows the modules are running at 1333.
The Weird thing is I had many BSOD problems before I changed the voltage and on SevenForums I was advised to run Run Memtest86+.
I runned Memtest86+ run a few times for over 8 hours and it showed no errors at all.
I will make the screenshots asap when I get home tonoght. Below are my system specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7-860 2899 1156
Motherboard: MSI P55-GD65
Memory: 4GB (2 * 2GB): OCZ Platinum Low Voltage OCZ3P1333LV4GK
Graphics Card: Gigabyte GTX 280
PSU: Be Quiet dark power pro 750w
Cooling CPU: Scythe Mugen 2 SCMG-2000, VGA: Stock case: Stock
Hard Drives: System drive: Intel SSD 80GB 70/250 X25M Data drive: 160GB 10k raptor
Case: Lian Li PC-p80

  • I changed the memory settings in the KT6V Bios.

    I changed the memory settings in the KT6V Bios without flashing to the latest bios update.  Now the system won't post and of course I learned afterwards you shouldn't mess with memory settings.
    I did everything, cleared the cmos(several times with and without the battery), also tried to do the bios recovery but that didn't work.  And yes I have the 4-pin plugged in, I also tested all the parts on another motherboard and they work fine with it.
    So is the board fubared?  I just bought it the other day, it's a long drive to take it back where I got it from so if anyone knows if there is a possible way to recover it please let me know!

It did not work for me. Good luck. Post back with your results.
    Ya I'm getting the four red led's and I've tried everything and still no post.  Geez, I can't believe this, I've never seen a motherboard die by just changing the memory setting from normal to fast...this is quite irritating.

  • P55-GD65 Bios Can't Detect Hard Drives

    I can't get my motherboard bios to detect my hard drives (An OCZ Agility SSD and WD Black). My SATA DVD drive is detected properly. I have a Corsair HX850 power supply. My P55-GD65 came with 1.4 Bios.
    I had tried default optimised settings and also having AHCI enabled. I tried different SATA cables as well as SATA power cables.  I tried plugging the hard drives in different SATA slots including the one that worked with the dvd drive. I cleared CMOS. I'm stumped. Should I look into flashing a new bios?

    He hasn't come back for a year--highly unlikely he'll see this.  Also, don't respond to long dead threads.  Create your own thread.
    Please read the >>Posting Guide<< and make a new thread.

  • P55-GD65 BIOS FREEZE

    Hi!
    Ive been running my P55-GD65 for almost an year no with only the problem of "dual-booting" I turn computer on it turns itself off and then it goes on again and works normally, that has something to do with overclocking and I have the TURBO on with my i5 so I didnt mind that, and the another "problem" was that I couldnt reboot computer normally I had to turn it off and turn on again because I have the memory set to 1T.
    But today, the computer freezed on BIOS after detecting hard drives. When I turned the computer off and on again it worked normally, but it dual-booted. (Dual-booting happens like 1/4)
    ""Press DEL to Bios and F11 to Boot menu 0085 0087 "" was the last text on the screen when it freezed.
    Should I start panicking? Or was it just some random freeze, because the temps here are pretty icy, CPU 30C and HDDs vary from 16 to 30C.
    Any ideas? Should I set the memory to 2T next time I boot?

    So, should I put the MHz back to 1333 and Command rate to 2T next time I boot?
    Yes, and run it at 9-9-9-24 1.5v.
    Disconnect that Seagate hard drive and see if you have any problems still. Looks like that drive could be failing though. A failing hard drive can certainly cause problems on start-up.

  • P55-GD65 BIOS bug

    Hi! I`m having compatibility problems with my imon remote/reciever! It is supposed to turn the computer ON but the BIOS won`t let it! There`s no option in the BIOS for turning on the computer by USB device! It works by shorting the power button pins, but if the USB cable is connected it doesn`t work.

    Songokussm the same issues I reported to support, they responded to me, that my MB is faulty and I should RMA ( did it twice, 4 month without MB ) I prove them otherwise, I had 3MB P55-GD65 with the same issues. Short speaking every MB with ERP=040 is faulty on engineering level Overvoltage like you described, problems with fans on sysfan1 and sysfan2, restore AC on power loss not working correctly and sometimes USB2 stops responding.
    My conversation with MSI support ended when they statement that they can`t check if I`m correct because they don`t have MB with ERP=040, so the problem is .... gone  I bet that with bios 1.9 in your case issue still occur but is`t less "visible".

  • P55-GD65 (Bios 1.6) Need help with RAID-1 and SATA DVD-RW

    Sorry if this has been already asked; did a search.
    Trying to configure 2-Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 750 GB drives in a RAID-1.
    I also have a SATA DVD-RW plugged in as well.
    I enabled RAID mode = RAID in BIOS, pressed CTRL-I when booting to enter Intel's RAID configure screen, when there set the RAID 1 volume, exited.
    Booted into Windows XP, went to load the RAID driver and..... no DVD-RW to read the disk. ?
    Back in the BIOS, sure enough, all the SATA devices had disappeared except for SATA 7.
    Is this a restriction of Intel RAID - that you have any RAID, all the SATA ports are RAID only?
    I couldn't find any settings to choose which SATA ports are RAID and which are not.
    Thanks,

    Try to move your DVD drive to another SATA port.
    I did end up moving the DVD-RW to SATA7 and yes it shows up always.
    But that is a disappointment. Apparently, with these Intel SATA controllers, RAID is an all or nothing proposition - turn on RAID and that will be the only use for SATA1-SATA6. At least that's my theory; Intel doesn't spell this out. This is a bummer for me, as I had hoped to use SATA1 and SATA2 for a RAID-1 and hang other devices off SATA3-7.
    I could use the Jmicron RAID, as that uses just two ports, but that occupies SATA7 and SATA8, and (apparently) SATA8 is the eSATA connector on the rear panel - not very useful for a RAID.

  • 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.

  • AMI BIOS 2.2 Memory Settings

      Maybe it's just me, but I can't get the memory settings in the AMI BIOS 2.2 (MSI K8T-Neo FIS2R) to do anything.  Changes make no difference and the memory just runs at its SPD information every time (I'm using sandra to make this determination).  I've run memtest 86+ on this memory at lower settings (3-3-3-6-1T) with no problems.  In addition, A64 tweaker shows memory values as reserved values, so I can't tweak with it either.
    The system is perfectly stable (it should be, given that it's running at the most conservative settings possible).
    RAM is in slots 1&2 so it's not a DDR333/DDR400 1T/2T Athlon64 limitation.  I have an Abit Kv8-max3 that runs this memory fine at 2.5-3-3-6-1T. (Hate to say it, but Phoenix's award core is MUCH more feature rich than these AMI BIOSes)
      I didn't have this problem with the previous BIOS, but I'm a believer in running the latest, greatest BIOS. This statement is based on the 7 years I spent in x86 BIOS development at Compaq and Dell (while sempron D0 fix is all that's listed, I'd bet there's other subtle bugs resolved in the latest BIOS).  Push comes to shove and I'll just reflash the 2.1 or 2.0 BIOS, but I can't imagine that MSI would have just broken this in a recent BIOS release.

    There are a lot or reports on this Bios being broken. Just do a search for 2.2 Bios and see what is up.

  • MSI P55-GD65 freeze

    Hi,
    I recently set up a system with:
    MSI P55 GD65 BIOS ver 1.20
    Intel i5-750 Lynnfield 2.66 GHz
    Corsair TW3X4G1333C9 DDR3 1333 4GB (2x2)
    Corsair TX-750 PSU
    I'm having random freezes even booting "Winki" from the DVD I found with the motherboard (I also have Win7 64bit but has not fresh installed from prior configuration (Asus socket AM2 board) so instability could be due to many causes, but not with Winki).
    I tryed only the standard settings in BIOS ("Optimized and Failsafe") because I don't know what changes are safe in CPU or Memory settings.
    I didn't try to update the BIOS yet because this is my second P55 GD65 Motherboard sent me after RMAed the first (that had the same issues) because after the BIOS update made with M-Flash, it died. After death of first motherboard, I read MSI forum and discovered (too late) that M-Flash is not safe for BIOS update (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=119375.0). I also read (again, too late) that to update BIOS is recommended a stable system (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=103441.0).
    I read also that with Corsair RAMs, the voltage and/or timings have to be changed, but I don't know neither where (I see the menu in BIOS but I don't know which particular settings have to be changed) nor how much I can change settings without risk of damages.
    I hope to have written all the necessary info and I apologize for my english, I'm italian

    I will reinstall Win7 but I would like to have a stable machine first. At this moment I'm booting with Winki but sometimes and randomly it freezes, so I think it's not a software problem but an hardware/bios one.

    On SevenForums I was advised to check my harddrives, I runned HD Tune and my drives showed no errors.
    I was also advised to run memtest, Im running it for over 4.5 hours now without any errors.
    I realy dont know what I can do anymore. Do you guys have any advise what else I can try?
    I have changed nothing in the BIOS itself and Im not overclocking the system.
    Should I manually adjust some settings maybe?

  • P55 GD65 - Advice

    When I first installed new system, everything was running fine. Enabled XMP in bios and memory was running stable at proper timings and voltage.
    Unrelated to the memory, I was having problems with the nvlddmkm error, where the screen goes black for a second followed by the message “nvlddmkm.sys has recovered from an error”. Somehow I was able to get rid of that problem but it was replaced by the same symptom, being caused by a services.exe login.
    Anyway both of these events cause the video card memory controller load to spike to 100% and stay there until the system is restarted. Video card people said to update bios and see what happens.
    So, after updating bios, (from 1.2 to 1.7) system is fine at auto settings (9-9-9-24-2t). If I enable XMP, I get two or three restarts…system stays on, but no video.
    I’m just an old guy doing cadd work,  looking for a stable system.
    Anyone know what version bios for this board allows XMP to work?
    If anyone has any suggestions on the nvlddmkm or services.exe login I will take those too.
    Thanks

    You could try to raise the CPU VTT voltage a little.

  • P55-GD65 OC Genie not functioning

    Best then is to try it manual, if your confident enough.
    But remember, if someone gets his  i7 750 to 3.8GHz, that isnt a garantuee that yours will too.
    If yours barely skipped QC, say it reached 2.7GHz stable when testing, they still sell it, but you will never reach a decent oc with it.
    Since no one of us can tell if thats the case with any cpu, only thing you can do is try it manually and see how far it clocks.
    Also be sure that you check in regularly at MSI site for updates, might be just a fluke in bios and MSI will post new one as soon as its resolved ( if there is an issue with oc genie that is ).

  • Memory Settings for Reconciliation

    Hello,
    What is the recommended memory settings for the application server when reconciling ~400,000 users from LDAP and a Database Table.
    I have noticed that IDM 5.5 uses more memory than IDM 5.0. Using various JVM memory settings with IDM5.5, I always seem to get an OutOfMemory error up to 1GB of memory. With IDM5.0 I could set the memory to 512MB and the recon for LDAP and the Database Table would run to completion w/o an OutOfMemory error.
    Thanks,
    Manung

    Forgot something that might be helpful. Configure the Schema map to only include the limited set of attributes needed for identification and correlation/confirmation. This speeds up reconcile and also consumes less memory.
    E.g maybe you only need sn,givenName, mail to correlate and build up the initial virtual index. After that is done, expand the schema with all attributes needed.
    Well... my 2 cents worth of input.
