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?

This is the wrong forum section for asking OC'ing questions and inquiries. There are a number of threads already on Z87 OC'ing here to review;

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).

MSI Z87 GD65 boot troubles

I recently built my own computer, using an MSI Z87 GD65 board, and it worked fine for about 2 weeks, then suddenly my computer bluescreened, now when I power it on it no longer boots (doesn't even reach bios screen) tried resetting cmos, any ideas? :s
- Can post further details upon request.
Parts used:

Hi and
- Start with the BIOS swich. ...hows it with the second BIOS chip?
- Testing your PSU. Is it stating ok green to black on 20/24pin connection.
Edit: Heres video How to do it from Corsair on Youtube.
- Take all out of your case and use only parts you need (MB, PSU, CPU and monitor)
Hope this gets you foward! Cheers Mummy

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

OC Help with MSI z87-GD65 Gaming

HI!
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.
My computer
Motherboard z87-gd65
cpu - 4770K
GPU - ASUS 660 Ti DirectCU II OC 3GB
Memory - Corsair Vengeance Pro Series 1600 MHZ c9
PSU - Corsar RM850
CPU Cooler - Coolermaster Seidon 240.
Latest bios and Me are installed.
If anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong, please shout at me!
Regards Martin

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

MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming EIST is not working

Hi all, my EIST is not working properly, the CPU clock run between 3.7-3.9 all the time (VID 1.153 - 1.219)
Here is my setup:
Motherboard and CPU: MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming + 4770K
OS: Clean installed Win 7 SP1 with most updated driver from MSI site.
Bios version: 1.2 (All default settings)
Actually the EIST works before without installing driver ME and chipset driver from MSI site, any advices?
thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome,
to DougQuaid tip.
Allso if you have OC your system, you need to set Ratio mode to Dynamic and voltage mode to Adaptive.
Like in this picture of my BIOS settings. I marked those with yellow.
Warning: After that you shouldent stress test your CPU anymore with Prime95, Occt, or so on programs. Because they could get the MB give too much power to CPU
I just tested those (ME and Chipset) files from MSI and still get my clock and voltage down normaly.
There seams to be new official relice of BIOS 1.3v there too, so you could try that. if yours cot some bug in it.
Also make sure on task manager that your pc isnt doing anything under. Like live Spybot/virus/... -Scans.
I hope these help Cheers, Mummy

MSI Z87-GD65 System. Slower Download speeds since upgrade.

I've recently upgraded my PC to an MSI Z87-GD65/i5-4670K based system from an Core 2 Quad, Win 7 64x setup.
I use Usenet frequently and since upgrading i seem to have lost around 1000KB/s in download speed when maxing out my line.
Before, i used to get around 9140KB/s max download using the onboard lan port on a Gigabyte P45 based motherboard. Port on old board was a Realtek 8111C Gigabyte chip.
Now i get around 8200KB/s max download using the onboard lan port on my MSI Z87-GD65 motherboard which is the Killer E2205 chip.
I'm using the latest Lan drivers for my chip and have tried older ones but come up with the same result.
Is there an obvious reason behind this speed loss? What i'm wondering is does Windows 8.1 constantly use the network to keep the app tiles updated and if so would it account for 1000KB/s of missing speed. If so, is there a way of stopping it using the network when I'm downloading stuff?
I don't think the speed difference is due to the different chipsets because i get the same speeds using various speed tests that i did before. Also i know its not a massive amount of speed loss (it's equivalent to 8Mbps) but its annoying me.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
My specs are as follows:-
i5-4670k
MSI Z87- GD65
16gb Crucial Elite 1866 using X.M.P
250GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD
MSI GTX770 2GB
Corsair HX850w PSU
Windows 8.1 Pro
I have no Wifi card or software installed so i'm just using the onboard ethernet.
Current download speeds shown in Speedtest.net is 74 Down 19 Up, however the Usenet speed i'm getting is around 64 Down (8200KB/s). Difference of 10Mbps. Ive checked settings on the Usenet provider side and they are correct.

MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming Motherboard Booting Windows 7 Trouble

Hi guys, today I bought the MSI Z87-GD65 Mobo, 2 Sticks of 4GB RAM and the Intel i7 4770. I bought these to upgrade my old system and the only other parts im using is my Nvidia GTX570, PSU and my 2TB Seagate HDD.
Everything hardware works normal, no abnormal signs.
My problem is when it boots up, it says "find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /win7ldr. Error 15: File not found"
I've tried using my windows 7 disc and it says all my stuff is still there and the startup troubleshooter doesn't find any issues. I tried putting my RAM in properly and its in nicely. (they are in the 3rd and 4th slot though) My power is fine, its just the BIOS isn't booting it =(
-The BIOS is updated
-No Hardware faults
Note: when i press any key to continue, it comes up with GRUB4DOS and has options like: "Windows 7 with SLIC Loader (Default)"
Please help me if you know anything!

Hi,
Quote from: TrisXD on 15-July-13, 20:12:10
Its a fresh install of Windows 7, i had to do it to fix my original problem =/
Update: I changed the RAM and put them in the slots u suggested, no change.
Sorry, when i post my last anser, i didnt know your new problem
Sounds like old problem from time of XP to Vista.
Firsth. Take out that USB connection of your headset from PC.
Secend. Uninstall any driver that headset (or you) may have installed to your OS.
Third. Run registercleaner program.
Fourth. Shotdown PC and then start again (dont just reboot!)
Fifth. Download and/or Install drivers for that USB headset.
Sixth. Reboot that PC.
Seventh. Insert that USB connection.
I hope this helps! Cheers, Mummy
If not i would try to ubdate intel chipset drivers(if MSI ones dont work, i would go to Intel site and try them from there) and if those dont help then another reinstall of OS and member to inser USB device after installing drivers for the device.

MSI Z87-GD65, Freezing while gaming, then reboot loop/bsod/total failure.

Hey fellow MSI'ers
Im hoping to find a solution for my problem i have been getting. I build a custom gaming rig a few months ago (specs below)
Sinds a couple of days iv been getting wierd problems, System runs fine, i can do everything watch movies do work stuff. But when i start gaming it will work great for about 15-30 minutes, then i hear a click/beep thru the sound system, and a total pc freeze, screen freezes nothing works.
So i hit the reboot, then the system decides to turn itself off and get into a reboot loop, turning on for few seconds then turning off again for a few back on for a few, etc etc.
Only way i can get it running is pull the power, make sure the Motherboard has no charge left, then wait a bit and replug the power. Most times it will boot up fine and story starts at part 1 again.
First off i thought it would be temperature, tho im running a almoost ull watercooled system, (Ramm + cpu + video) and i put up temp controlls on my seconds screen, and they never got above 35, on any of the components.
Now seeing my build it is extreemley hard to quickly test a diffirent component, been running memtest with no problems, But when i do graphx/cpu stresstest/benchmark i get the same issue.
As i stated before it has been running perfectly for few months.
I read that PSU might be a problem, compatability wise with Haswell, tho then it wouldnt have worked for so long and just now giving these strange problems.
What i tryéd so far:
-Reinstall windows
-Flash bios
-clear bios
-unplug as much as possible
-diffirent ramm
-Running with or without crossfire enabled.
All same problems, i hope somebody has a idea without having to pull apart my custom build.
Specs:
-Cooler Master HAF XB
-Intel Haswell 4770k
-MSI Z87-GD65
-2x Asus 7970 in Crossfire.
-Corsair Dominator GT 2x4gb
-Corsair ForceGT 128GB SSD
-Antec TruePower 1200
-2x 512gb Seagate MomentusXT

Hi again,
Quote from: robinvanesch on 03-October-13, 04:33:35
UPDATE: Been running bencharmks/stresstest from onboard graphix, both cards disconnected. (lots of towels to be sure) and runs without problems, tho reallo low fps but thats expected.
Going to see if i can run 1 card at a time, see if i can cause the problem to happen again.
So did you agtually try it?
Yep, bleeding is nice job and dooing it right on all steps is needed so yeah great, but if your CPU can handel the stress and you have tested the PSU then i cant see other way.
Tip: take the hard loop,pipe, bridge(betwean the blocks away and add two 90angle fittings with long tobe, so you can rest each card away the pc 1 at time that way you dont need to bleed the system bitwean.
(allso rest of the toops needs to be so long that it can be far away...)
And yes you need reg edit your SATA drivers like xmad sayd, if you like to change IDE to RAID.
P.s. nice build! Hope you get it working
Edit: You dont need to insert that PSU in the case, just connect wires whrere they need to be, at the momen for testing.
Edit2: My current needs little service and update( add backplate, water change, delid cpu and moving GPU to bottom slot).
Edit3: Wait that one 120mm low Rad keeps your sytem 32c??? Damn you have great chips, cold house or software issue. need for delid main is the heat i dont like and i have hmm 10 times that space to get heat off :D

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 ...

Start upping your voltage, my chip needs [email protected] and for stability at 4.4 it needs 1.38.
Those guys on YouTube definitely got a better chip
Once you get enough voltage to boot into windows without bsod start stability testing. Make sure to set volts to override

Questions About MSI Z87-GD65 System fan Currents!

Hi,
I have a few questions on the MSI Z87-GD65 System Fan currents. I want to hook up 2-4 120mm case fans together through a PWM Female to 4 x PWM Male Computer Case Fan Splitter and connect it to one of the SYSfans on the Motherboard, but I am unsure about the current limit on the SYSfan1-3 on the motherboard. Also I was unsure if I needed to have a 4-pin connector or 3-pin connector. On the online manual it says that for Sysfans1-3
Pin #1 is Ground
Pin #2 Is Speed Control
Pin #3 is Sense
And Pin #4 is NC
What does NC mean? Do I need a 3 pin or 4 pin connector?
Thank You For any assistance!

NC isn't used.
The sys fans you only need to get a 3 wire fan for the cpu fans a 4 wire fan would be indicated.
The amp rating is 1amp I believe.
If you want to really control and monitor your fans, it is best to use an outside fan controller. I use the Corsair Link in one of my computers which I like, but is overkill.

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.

MSI Z87-GD65 and ram compatibility

Hello all,i would like to know if Z87-GD65 board is compatible with new Kingston HyperX Fury memory?
I can't find answer anywhere so i u could help me,this model HX318C10FBK2/16. In fact i would like to know if there would be any problem with memory with cash latency 10 or 11?

I checked the specs here http://www.kingston.com/datasheets/HX318C10FBK2_16.pdf
There is nothing out of the ordinary. It may not have been tested by MSI for this board yet. Thus the timings at 1866 may not automatically set correctly. But you have the option to set them manually.
Memory that's not on the support list is always a bit of a gamble, but mostly if standard JEDEC settings are applied, it works.

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