Too much Vdroop on P67A-C45 (B3)

Hi, I have seen Vcore on another P67A-C45 B3 and it manages as my previous B2 (+0.008 on full) but mine is drooping more than 0.03v
CPU-Z shows 1.272 on idle and 1.24 on full (Prime95, can be higher using LinX).
Otherwise, it needs a reboot to detect a Seagate 7200.11 500GB wich works perfectly in othre motherboards and I was having BSOD 124 on idle, I'm testing now last BIOS 1.I turbo ON, no crashes yet...
¿Any idea to fix the HDD detection? It look like an insurmountable compatibility problem :(
¿Can I do a RMA process to fix the Vdroop problem? I have never seen an Vdroop like this, even in most cheap motherboards.
I'm setting in manual, dynamic is too high and MSI motherboards can adjust offset as other brands
¿How about othre P67A-C45 B3, is normal this Vcore?
Thanks guys.

Heh, I use your avatar in other forums
Thanks for reply HU16E, I'll follow your tips.
My system:
Hyper 212+ (+2 Gentle Typhoon 1150, max. under 60º @4,4-4,7)
2x2GB Kingston Value RAM 1333 CL9 1.5v @ 1600 (1333 when testing)
7200.11 500GB 32MB (last firmware SD1A)
OCZ Z-Series 550W
i5 2500K
HD 6850
Marian Trace Alpha (sound card)
Conceptronic C54Ri (wireless controller)
I have read about similar problems with MSI motherboards, its not as simple as raise Vcore because I can pass 2h of Prime95 Custom (1792 min & max FFT, all the RAM & 1min per test. I dont know a better stability test, works better than LinX + AVX). If it can pass 2h torture test with 1.24, something is wrong crashing with 1.27 (IDLE). I have tested 1.27-1.24 for 4,2 (use to be @4,5) and a bit less Vcore for stock with older BIOS, still having problems. It looks like turbo works better, in fact I have read that here (this forum is much better than latin). I hope turbo + last BIOS will be fine
I don't want to set APS/Intel, it manages Vcore without Vdroop but using for stock (33+T, 1 volt in manual works fine) the voltaje needed for my actual frequencies, higher with OC & without adjustment (just a poor ON/OFF LLC wich isn't working with manual Vcore)
Thanks again, I'll pray

Virtualization BIOS Setting in P67A-C45

Hi,
I bought the P67A-C45 motherboard with an Intel I5 2500K CPU, I running Fedora x86_64 with VMWARE Workstation. When I want to install other guest 64bit OS on the vmware, it said that I have a VT capable but VT disable. In the vmware forum it stated that I have to change the setting to enable the virtualization in the BIOS, but I cannot find any setting to enable virtualization in the motherboard BIOS. Anybody can help me?

P67A-C45 (B3) randomly not booting

Hi, the problem is:
When booting (both cold start and restart) my mobo randomly decides to boot properly or not to boot. I do not change any settings/hardware and it still occurs randomly.
There are 4 scenarios that happen when I try to boot or reboot:
1. Correct boot
2. B4 at the right bottom of the screen, boots successfully after several seconds.
3. 98 at the right bottom of the screen, lasts forever.
4. Nothing on the screen
Sometimes it takes 3 or 4 reboots to get to OS successfully.
What I tried: restoring default settings, updating BIOS, removing all USB devices.
The system is perfectly stable (stress tested) when it manages to boot so I doubt it's PSU fault.
My hardware:
P67A-C45 (B3)
i5-2500K
ASUS 6950 1GB DirectCu
2x4 GB Corsair XMS3 1600MHz
OCZ StealthXStream 600W.
Help me guys, because I feel like playing a roulette when trying to turn my computer on.

If not done so yet, disable EuP 2013. Try NovJoe's suggestion of using the one RAM stick in the primary blue dimm slot for testing. It may be good to test the 'each' stick individually in the primary slot. The latest beta BIOS can be found in Jack's thread, Reply #22; https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=145403.0

The PSU is an inexpensive quad rail +12V, which can be part of the problem. A Corsair, like a TX650, single rail +12V (or other quality single rail) would be a much better choice to power the system. Please provide a screenshot of the CPUID's CPU-Z Memory & SPD tab. A hosting service like Photobucket is a good one.
In regards to Reply #2, the first step is to get the system running stable in a stock/auto/default manner before venturing off into OC'ing & enabling OC Genie, etc.

cranked my 1.5 Snipers to 1.7 (again way to high, especially for stock 1866 sticks)....
1866 is far from stock, 'rated' maybe, but not stock for the OP's platform. Doubtful they have true 1866 chips on them. RAM should be run at the Intel specifications for the Sandy Bridge CPU IMC of DDR3 1333, anything over that is out of specifications & is overclocking. There is a special section of the forum for those wanting to operate components outside of the stock/auto/default specifications.

MSI P67A-C45 B3 Problems

Hello,
I recently bought a main board MSI P67A-C45 B3 from a shop in my country ( Romania ) and i had a problem with it as soon as it got home.
I installed all the new components that i got, plugged all the devices, but my computer did not start. I pushed the power on button, but it only stayed on for like 2-3 seconds and then turned off, and it repeated this cycle without me having to push the power on button. I took all the components to the shop i bought them from, so they could tell me whats there to do with my new computer. After a couple of hours they called me and told me that the main board had one pin bent in the CPU slot. I don't think that i could have bent one pin, I've done this before in the past, and this never happened to me.
What I'm really asking :
Is it possible, out of 1155 pins , for only one pin to be bent when plugging the CPU in its slot ?
And ,
Can one bent pin be the cause of my computers problem ?
Was i just scammed and put to pay another main board, or is it true what they are telling me ?
Thanks

Yes, just one bent pin can cause this, you can fix this probably though.
*You can bend those pins by breathing on them too heavily (joke) don't feel like you are the only one to do this.
Get a really bright light and a magnifying glass and find the pin and move it back into place with an eyeglass screw driver or other very small object.
You also may be able to get msi to repair it for you.
If you can get it fixed yourself, try MSI:

Help finding the Best BIOS settings for P67A-C45 (2)

Hello again folks
I Have a P67A-C45 board with an Intel i5 [email protected] and 8Ghz DDR3@1600 of memory
I just want to know what are the best setiings to my system. I'm planning to make an overclock, but i don't know much about these.
My ram are at 1333 MHz. What's the problem????

Quote
My ram are at 1333 MHz. What's the problem?
Your CPU only natively supports up to 1333mhz memory. Your memory sticks, although rated to run up to DDR3-1600 speed, are only natively DDR3-1333.
Hence, if you have not applied any overclocks, and are running at default settings, the BIOS is reading the default native SPD setting for your memory, which will be DDR3-1333 settings. So no, there is no problem really. In order to run your sticks at their rated setting, you will need to overclock.
But, you might want to have a read of this:

P67A-C45 problems - startup, closure freez; no clear reason

Hello
I would like to ask you for help with identifying problem which most certainly concerns my motherboard, until proven not guilty
What is the problem: since about 1 month I was facing a problem with system startup - it usually hung up after typing in password on logon screen. It would freez randomly on "Welcome!" screen or desktop loading only black screen and cursor with no response to keyboard keys. System loaded in safemode with no problem. Sometimes, also randomly, it would also start up in normal mode after few hard restarts or restart from safe mode. After some community forums research the first suspect was the graphic card. Reinstalling the drivers, some test and a little chat with tech service however made me thinking it is the wrong direction. Gigabyte TS [they are my GPU makers] pointed at motherboard as a very probable cause if there is everything right with system and software.
Despite failing to find the reason form software side I have backed up my data, zeroed the HDD and repartitioned it [with Pared Magic], than installed system again [Win 7 HP - full PC specification at the end of the post]. I have also performed RAM tests with Memtest which came up positive - no errors after 10 cycles. Also checked HDD itself with Saget tool if there is something wrong with it - everything came up to be in order.
After the system re-installation [without any updates and programs] everything loaded well however I had another mystery - while waiting for reboot the system hang up on closure! Keyboard went off-line [lights turned down] and on the screen I just saw freezed "Shutting down..." . After hard restart system loaded correctly. I've installed updates via MSI Live Update 5, all necessary drivers and programs and rebooted the system. Freezed at shutting down again and another curious thing - after hard restart i saw a black screen with a "9C" code at the bottom right corner of my screen [everything lunched usually after "A3" code appeared there]. Few hard restarts - the same. Consternation. Hard shutdown. After few minutes I've hit the power button again and it magically started. I am very fascinated with this problem and I would like one more time ask you for your ideas on this issue. I am not too hasty to hand my pc for service as I don't swim in money so if i can resolve it at home with your help I would be delighted to do so
My PC hardware spec: [some names are translated by me form Polish so I apologize if there is something translated too directly if you know what I mean ]. Feel free to ask for any additional information. Thank you in advance for any given feedback! [and sorry for any critical language errors]

You could also say: "oh yes, of course I'm mixing ram. In fact I mixed two dual channel kits. I have no idea if that works as I'm stressing the dual channel controller to the max with four sticks and do not even use a matched kit"
Sorry but Goodram does not make memory for Corsair, Patriot or Kingston. It amybe is a local ram maker but surely no manufaturer of high quality sticks.
Well as mentioned in the first post I am not a professional and I can be mistaken however as I said later depending on info from diagnostic tools and fact that the issue occured long after RAM installation and fact that stick removal has no diagnostic value as pc is able to randomly start up and shut down properly I still ask for other probable solution.
Moreover flobelix you need to understand that GoodRAM is a label of certified, biggest producer in middle and eastern Europe and a strategic partner of Toshiba and Samsung. If you are such a label orientated person that you consider. f.e. Corsair Kingstone or Patriot as only high quality producers (and they makeing their sticks in China or India ) just becouse the label than I would kindly ask you to abandon this thread becouse I have no goal in haveing an argument about ram producers and it gives no usefull feedback consideing probelm I have asked to help me deal with. Best wishes though and no offence .

P67A-C45 b3 don't boot with ITE8212 PCI card

Hello
i was installing my all new motherboard P67A-C45 rev B3 with a core i5 2500K, 4gb of DDR3. No problem for installing all my SATA hard drives as well as Plextor BR writer. Windows seven recognizes everything and everything rules. I have setup the boot priority with plextor and then the SSD drive that have windows 7...Except that as a nostalgic person, i used to keep old IDE hard drives for storing files. For that i use a ITE8212 PCI card in order to have IDE slots. But when pci card is connected (on either of the 3 PCI slots), boot is "freezing". I just have an underscore on the screen and nothing else.
This pci card used to be ok on motherboard without UEFI... is there something that i do wrong ? a specific setup ? an incompatibility ?
Thanks for any help you could give me.

I'm not too concerned with the x8 limitation. Any idea about the video issue itself? It'd be nice to be able to choose which card to boot from without having to take one out or switch them around. I get the feeling that it's always going to use the first card it finds plugged in and just ignore the second card until the OS drivers take control. Mostly I just wanted to confirm that was the case and not just a problem with my own board.
Guess I'll work in getting my 6950 working under OS X, because it's too big to go into E5 without covering some PCI slot I need and also the headers for my power and reset buttons.

Intel SVID Mode Hang - Bios 1.8 - MSI-P67A-C45

Hi, this is a follow up on my previous question - Intel Sandy Bridge i5 2400 Vcore Range - https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=145829.0
"Hi, want to check with you guys what is your i5 2400 Vcore range ? (As reported by CPUZ 1.56)
Mine keep stagnant at 1.19-1.21v between idle and load. I just know that idle vcore should be around 0.9v.
Is this normal ? My CPU frequency did downclock to 1600Mhz (100Mhz x 16) but vcore remained 1.19v.
My setting are :
Mobo - MSI P67A-C45 (Bios version 1.7)
GreenPowerMode - APS / Intel SVID (No effect)
CPU Setting - EIST enabled, CPU vcore auto, Spread spectrum on, Vdroop control high. CIE support on, Intel C state on, Power technology Custom/Energy efficient (No effect), Intel Turbo Disable
All other setting on auto
Despite any setting I tweak and even optimised default, the vcore remained 1.19v although clock downed to 1600mhz. Any idea ? TQ !"
After I update to the latest bios 1.8 and set the GreenPowerMode to Intel SVID mode, the vcore now dropped to 0.8-0.9v which is nice
However, it will hang after some time in the window desktop every time. Meanwhile, if i set the GreenPowerMode to APS mode it was stable
But vcore remained at around 1.16v as above situation. Anybody experience hang on Intel SVID mode ?

MSI P67A-C45 (B3) - any known problems?

I was seriously considering an MSI board for my dads new £500 gaming PC but when I google MSI P67A-C45 (B3) google showed 5 or 6 links to this forum of problems and it put me off as a few off them were overheating issues..
are there any known problems with this board? im worried I may regret choosing the cheaper board
thanks

I Was going to buy corsair 1600Mhz as the board supports that speed without overclocking does it not?
Quote from: snadge on 25-June-11, 23:51:08
yeah ive been told something similar eslewhere (sandyBridge only supports up to 1333) - but wont they run at 1333mhz anyway? if thats the max the chipset allows? MSI should put (OC) next too speeds above 1333Mhz so users are aware..
I think we will just be getting 1333Mhz then

MSI P67A-C45(b3) temperature

Hi, I have MoBo Msi p67a-C45 rev B3
CASE: Aerocool VS-9
CPU: I5 2500
And my temperature is too high. TMPIN1 in HWMonitor in idle is 48-55 celcius. What Can i do ? In stress (Crysis 2) temperature was more than 100!!
Help
Sorry for my language im no from england :p

Quote from: Galahaddulac on 24-August-11, 20:25:47
MSI tech Support conformed again that it is a dummy temperature:
"Regarding your concern, would you please take a picture for the temp which you checked. TMPIN1 is dummy temp. Please don't worry about it. Please make sure TMPIN0 and TMPIN2 are normal. TMPIN0 is CPU temperature, TMPIN2 is motherboard temperature. Thanks!"
"Please don't worry about that, we have checked BIOS code and circuit, we don't find the TMPIN1. It is dummy temp."
So MSi tech says, it is not an actual temperature! What do you guys think about that?
The engineers looked in to it & gave a response as to their findings. Unless it can be proven otherwise, there is no choice other than to take them at their word. Unfortunately, I don't have a series C mainboard to do my own testing on, but I can tell you the Z68 in use at the moment, TMPIN1 reads -20C. We all know that is a bogus reading.
It may even be prudent to contact the 3rd party utility developers & ask them about it as well. At this point, it looks like the only way to confirm what the actual temp of the PCH is, & it is still a concern, would be to take the rig to a PC shop that has an IR thermal test tool & have it checked, or purchase one & test it for yourself.

High voltage on Low Vdroop Setting P67A-GD65 + 2600k

Dear members of the MSI-HQ user forum,
My attempts on overclocking my 2600k processor has been stalled for quite some time now.
I've been at 4.3GHz for a very long time because I wish to keep my Vcore set on Auto (I don't want my voltage set manually because it will remain at that voltage all the time).
I've been playing around with a lot of settings and none of them have worked.
The main problem is I want to be stable at 4.3GHz but with Vdroop set to Auto, it will only deliver 1.288V during a Prime95 torture test. 1.288V is not enough because after 10 min. I will get the 0x124 Bluescreen, which is too little Vcore. I have manually found out that 1.296V will do the trick! But again this is set manual... After switching to Vdroop set to Low Vdroop the Vcore voltage JUMPS to 1.42V during stress test (Prime95 & IBT)!! Waaaay too high. This will only get worse if I set my processor speed to 4.4GHz, Vcore will then be 1.44/1.45V and so on..
Bios is updated to version 1.H. I updated from 1.8 to 1.C to 1.H, didn't make any difference. I've also played around with bios settings but nothing solves my problem. Eup 2013, spread spectrum, C1E, Overspeed protection all disabled. Tried all C1 states. PLL overvoltage disabled & enabled. Memory both tested @ 1333MHz & 1600MHz auto&linked settings (according to spec). And so on.
I really want to overclock further then 4.3GHz (at least that one stable) using Auto Vcore. Or my voltage is too low (Vdroop set to auto) or too high (Vdroop set to Low). Please help :(
My system specs are:
Windows 7 64Bit
Intel i7 2600k
MSI P67A-GD65 (B3)
Corsair XMS3 8GB 1600MHz dual channel memory kit

To quote from a recent Ivye Bridge article:
Quote
Today Intel defines three different voltages for every Sandy Bridge CPU: LFM, nominal and turbo. LFM is the lowest frequency the CPU can run at (e.g. completely idle), nominal is the frequency it is specified to run at (e.g. 3.3GHz for a 2500K) and turbo is the highest available turbo frequency (e.g. 3.7GHz for a 2500K). Intel determines the lowest voltage possible for each one of those frequencies. Sandy Bridge obviously runs at more than just three frequencies, there are many more intermediate frequencies that it may run at depending on the current workload. The voltages at those intermediate frequencies are interpolated from the three points that I mentioned above.
There is no definition above that, and it becomes an extrapolation of a voltage above 3,7GHz. Considering that each CPU has slightly different characteristics, even within the defined frequency range, there is no knowing what each one will do and require outside that range. So the required voltage at those overclocked frequencies can vary quite a bit, and the extrapolated voltage range in auto voltage mode at a given frequency may not be enough for the individual sample, furthermore, it is limited in terms of the maximum it will consider and apply in auto mode. Once that critical point is reached, one has to be satisfied or resort to manual intervention.

P67A-C45 USB charging (when shutdown)

I recently just got a new PC built for me (too lazy to do it myself these days), and its all running sweet apart from one minor problem. I currently have a Razer Mamba wireless/wired mouse, and generally use it in the wireless state. It charges off a dock which is plugged into the PC via USB. On my previous computers it charged off the dock no problems, but with the new MSI P67A-C45 board (sorry don't have the full name), it stops charging when the computer is shut down. I had a quick play with the BIOS but couldn't corrent this option (I like the old school BIOS screens, where I knew what I was doing).
So is there a way to get my USB ports to charge when the computer is shut down, and if so what BIOS settings need to be changed to do it (also if only certain USB ports charge which ones)

Yep turned that one off (eup2013), but still hitting the same issue, made no difference with shutdown.
I tried installing the supercharger and it just seemed to run in the background but made no difference, I don't think the application is suited for this board. Tried both the front and the rear panels, and even different ports on the rear panel (even the USB3 panels), no difference. The mouse does not need any "extra draw" on its power as its rated for the 500mA that USB normally supplies (actually 450mA over 5V).
It does work in sleep mode though, I've never been a fan of this mode (its why I brought an SSD, quick boot!), so I guess I'll have to stick with that.
Thanks for the ideas guys.

I was looking at youtube.com, which always tells me my browser is not supported and recommends I download Firefox, but that is what I was using, so I went to Firefox to check for updates.
