Trying to find link to 790GX-G65 1.5B3 Beta Bios

Hey all,
I'm trying to find the link to this 1.5 beta bios, but can't seem to get anywhere.
I've seen quite a few users listing this beta bios as the one they use.
Any help would be awesome, thanks!

  • Need Advice! 2.2 MBP or 2.4? I like Glossy! Trying to find links with bench

    First off, I like the glossy and for video, crucial stuff, I could always get a 30" or whatever MATTE display for that down the road, but right now I can not seem to find any BENCHMARKS on 2.2 vs 2.4 for say LOGIC and how many more plug-ins you would get or not get.
    Right now on a Mac Pro (work) and was wondering if anyone knew where I could find such an article that compared the two for audio and or video use and how much of a gain would you get with the extra 200 which is really equal in old school to about 350 more megahertz and the extra 128MB of VIDEO.
    If someone could please explain as I plan on ordering one sometime next week.
    Thanks.
    P.S. Is it really a desk top replacement? Can it do the job with or without the added 7200 RPM drive? Is the USB or FIREWIRE 800 HD's fast enough to stream say orchestral samples without choking?
    In order of priority:
    a) Rock and Roll (Analog, Vocals, guitar (but plug in), bass, then plug ins for drum machines, still not sure on whether to go LOGIC or LE (I know, its a huge rip off (LE from Digi), but I like their Digi Strike - am hoping that Logic 8 and Groove Agent 3 will solve some of this.
    b) Orchestral cues, sound design. So I would be using say Ilio Cube or EWQL Plat. Is the external HD fast enough for this? Thanks!
    Lastly, how many displays can you drive from a MBP? Can you drive two? Do you think that will be a feature to come, or should I just get a Mac Pro and say the heck with it at home!
    Thanks!

    In my view, the extra money for 7% (or whatever it is) extra performance isn't really worth it. Obviously, if you want the fastest you can get, then go for the more expensive one.
    The VRAM really doesn't mean much unless you are using your computer for games (or perhaps some hardcore graphics stuff like Motion which will benefit from it). Regular applications won't benefit at all from the extra VRAM, and the 2.2 will drive big monitors quite happily.
    I actually went to the Apple Store last week and played with one of the new MBP's, and in doing the research I was set on a matte screen, now I'm not so sure - it was nice graphically with the glossy. I'll make that decision when I have to...
    It was funny watching people all crowding round the MBP's - most people were running Safari, iTunes and stuff, and there's me loading up and creating with Logic, then FCP, then Shake, then Colour, then Motion, all the hard core apps - I think they thought I was some kind of professional or something...
    I will be getting a 2.2 when the issues and the component shortages are sorted out...

  • Flickering with Onboard Graphics on 790GX-G65

    Hi Everyone,
    I recently put together my own AMD based machine and am very happy with it. It's the first desktop I've had since I switched to a laptop for uni in 2004 :D.
    The problem that I'm experiencing is that whenever the UAC window pops up, there is some flickering (Almost like static in an old video tape). Worse, it sometimes (Very rarely) happens even when the UAC window is not there :(. Has anyone else experienced this same problem? I did a quick search in this board before posting this and I haven't found anything similar. I have already tried the monitor with another machine (My laptop) and it does not show the same issue. It seems to me to be a problem with the on-board graphics card. I'm trying to get a DVI cable to try connecting the monitor that way. Any help would be much appreciated.
    Here is some more information on the computer:
    CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2 GHz
    Motherboard: MSI 790GX-G65, MS-7576, AMI Bios 1.3
    RAM: Kingston ValueRAM DDR3 1333 MHz 2 GB x 2 sticks (KVR1333D3N9/2G)
    Video Card: None (Using onboard graphics)
    Hard Drive: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1 TB 7200 RPM SATA (HD103SJ)
    Wireless LAN Card: D-Link DWA-510 Wireless G PCI WLAN card
    Sound Card: None (Using onboard sound)
    HP DVD1260 DVD-Writer
    Monitor: Samsung 2233SWPlus (21.5" Widescreen), connected via normal VGA connector (This one)
    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
    PSU: Corsair TX-750 750W 80+ PSU
    I hope to be getting an XFX 5870 soon, so hopefully this will disappear and won't plague me then ;D.

    @websherpa: different board, start your own topic. Do not hijack this one.
    Actually, I will post elsewhere if necessary, but I respectfully submit that I did NOT intend a hijack. I did not ask readers to find a solution to my particular problem. I indicated that I have a very similar problem and am seeking a solution through experimentation.  My solution may help this users issue.  I think it's likely a problem that's not entirely board specific (since I have found numerous posts about this very same issue with onboard Radeon chips and Windows 7 and x64) and therefore an understanding of a solution for any one set-up or combination may result in a solution for all. I provided system information solely to indicate whether there is some common causality.   I think it's only really appropriate for the original author to determine whether a post is off topic or not unless a post is obviously way off base (your mileage obviously differs).
    My appologies to lohita if you think I was trying to hijack your post.  I was simply trying to contribute to see if there is a common cause.
    Bas: you have a very good point.  "Patient: Doctor, Doctor it hurts when I do THIS!  Doctor: Well...then don't do THAT."  

  • AMD X6 1090T problems with 790GX-G65 Board

    I've been tinkering at this for a week now and I really don't know what to do at this point. I just got the AMD Phenom II X6 1090T and tried it in an MSi 790GX-G65 mainboard. I can't seem to get a clock speed beyond 804Mhz. A PerformanceTest benchmark for this CPU is currently 1856 (when it should be between 6500-7000).
    The question I have is this. Is there anything I can do in the BIOS manually to bring the CPU settings to where their supposed to be?
    In the BIOS, the CPU ratio is set to auto and the adjusted frequency reads 2300. When I set the multiplier to x16 (adj freq. 3200), there's no difference in either the operating speed or benchmark performance. What can I do? What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks for the response, TN
    I'm running BIOS v4.0. I hear there's a 4.15, but I haven't been able to install it.
    I called MSi Tech support and asked how I could get an update and the person on the phone sent me a beta version. But it's not x64 friendly, it seems. Maybe I did something wrong. But the CPU does work with the board. I just needed to manually set the ratios and voltage levels. I was able to do it with AMD overdrive.

  • Trying to find anchor link under insert not there.

    HI
    Using the latest DWCC and trying to find the anchor link command under the insert menu.
    Not there any ideas anyone?
    Bob

    It has been removed since the use of named anchors has been deprecated by W3C (the organization responsible for extending and maintaining HTML and CSS). Fortunately, there's another way to do this:
    Give the target element a unique ID, then select the trigger and enter "#ID" in the link field of the Property inspector (replace the letters "ID" with the value that you used for the unique ID of the target element). It's perhaps not as easy as selecting the item from a menu, but it works well. You can also drag the bull's eye icon and drop it on the target element in Design or Code view to get the same functionality. So -
    <a href="#whatever">Go to whatever</a>
    <p id="whatever">Welcome to whatever</p>

  • 790GX-G65 will not post

    I have been through pretty much all of these forums posts relevant to the 790GX-G65 and AMD Phenom II cpu combination trying to get my 4 sticks of OCZ 1333 gaming RAM to work in any stable configuration and my board appears to have finally given up the ghost. It now refuses to post no matter which RAM chip I place in the first slot and whether the CMOS has been reset. I reduced the load on the PSU by removing the radeon 4850 and using the integrated graphics but no joy. I have also tried some 1GB patriot Ram sticks that I was using for a couple of months before upgrading the RAM (I am regretting that now) and nothing works. I wasn't even trying to overclock the system, just get a stable 8GB for some gaming and Photo editing.
    This board is going to be returned to the supplier but for future reference could someone shed some light on the function of the five LEDs beside the RAM slots. LED DB1 (someone called it LED Debug1 in anther post) and LED1-4 as I take it they are diagnostic LEDs but I could not find any mention of them in my manual (yes it does get read occasionally). They might be of help in figuring out problems like I have experienced.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Another thing for you to keep in mind is that you will find that AMD systems are much better if you only use 2 sticks of RAM and not 4 and spec'd for AMD instead of Intel.
     It seems you are another one. "Each module is 100% hand-tested for quality assurance and compatibility with the latest Intel P35 motherboards"
    Sadly when I was buying RAM I went with the advice of the local computer specialist shop (and no dublin is not the centre of the computer modding world but this place did specialize in overclocking etc) also as I had tried ADATA modules as well before switching to the OCZ I had looked at the MSI tech sheets and found
    http://www.msi.com/uploads/test_report/TR10_1739.pdf which has the platinum OCZ sticks working with 4 DIMMs, so I had made an attempt to check this out. I underestimated the differences between the platinum and gold OCZ sticks which comes down to the timings 7-7-7-20 for the platinum at 1.8v PN - OCZ3P13331G (msi approved for 4 sticks) and 9-9-9-20 for the gold at 1.7v PN - OCZ3G13331G (not working for me)
    I can't remember if the outside of the box states use 1.5v RAM, I know the manual does in two places pages 1-2 and 2-6 (yes I missed them) but it seems that a lot of people have been caught out by not realizing that DDRIII has such a range of specifications. I used to think that the memory classes were fairly tightly specified (my mistake). I have never heard of any of the mainstream computer magazines or websites (ars techina, ANandTech and Toms Hardware) mentioning memory problems with these chipset/CPU/RAM combinations and there probably should be at least an "important box" added to the upgrade memory portion of the manuals linking to the approved RAM list for future AM3 systems if any of the MSI tech people are reading this.
    While I am waiting for my new motherboard I suppose I should see about returning my OCZ memory for four Kingston MSI approved 1.5 v sticks, I am not ready to give up on this and return to my old macbook and mac mini.

  • Please help 790GX G65 wont POST

    Hi MSI community,
    I have a brand new 790GX-G65 as part of my all new build and it wont POST.
    here's the system
    790GX-G65 - winki edition (winki not connected)
    Phennom X4 965 Black (AM3 package, 3.4GHz)
    Corsair 400W PSU
    2*2GB Corsair Dominator DDR3 - p/n cmd4gx3m2b1600c8 , which according to the reseller's website is guaranteed to support all DDR3 platforms from AMD
    using the onboard ATI RADEON 3300 via the vga socket
    I have the board outside the chassis on a peice of cardboard
    the 24 pin connector, 4pin connector, heatsink fan, CPU, ram, keyboard(tried PS2 and USB ones) and monitor are the only things connected.
    I have tried using each ram stick individually in slot1, both together in slots 1 and 2 and no ram at all.
    In each case when i start the system the fans come on, the reset and power buttons light up, the five blue LEDs in the top right corner come on NB1,LED2,LED3,LED4 first then LED1 a second or so later, but nothing else happens.
    no beep codes(have tried with and without the system speaker connected), no signal to the monitor (tried several monitors)
    I've tried clearing the CMOS several times.
    it seems to me like its a dead chip or board but i cant truly rule out ram.
    anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
    I will ask around to see if i can find another AM3 chip or board to test against but most of my friends went the intel route
    many thanks

    Hi Guys,
    Thankyou all for replying, sadly though it still doesn't work :(
    nt650
    I could understand the psu struggling if i had load of othe things running off it, but it's just the board and chip.
    I'm happy that its not the board shorting out on the cardboard.
    I've tried it with a couple of old ATI rage IIs I had lying around and theres no joy from either of those. both known to work in other pcs
    I'm using the standard AMD HSF so the clip on that shouldn't have caused a problem. I didn't need a hammer to fit it!
    HDD is not connected
    CMOS battery seems fine
    paperclip test was fine, fan spun up immediately
    Fredrik
    I cant be sure what bios version i have, its a brand new board and i havn't flashed it so whatever it shipped with, v1.4 I guess. Are there any known issues?
    Bas
    I checked the pins again, all there and straight.
    Hans
    I'll try and lay my hands on a beefier PSU tomorrow, but with just chip and board it should run ok. I know it's near the bottom end of the recommended range but the PSU companies will always want to sell you more than you need.
    One other thing I tried just for kicks was to start the board without the chip in at all,
    the hsf still came on, the speaker still did nothing but only LED1 LED2 LED3 and LED4 came on, not NB1. I have no idea what (if anything) that means, but hopefullly someone on here does.
    Anymore ideas out there? They would be gratefully received

  • 790GX-G65 and Phenom II X6 1100t

    Hey!
    I wanted to know if my 790GX-G65 supports Phenom II X6 1100t?
    I tried the CPU support tool, but it didn't find any mobos that support it. So I don't think that tool is very up to date... According to the tool my mobo does support 1090t version thou, so if you jump to conclusions it might support 1100t too! :D
    Thanks for help!
    -SFJake

    Interesting! I've been wondering this myself. The CPU Test Report is outdated. It only shows CPUs that test okay with the 790GX-G65 up to the v4.2 update. Version 4.4 is out, and still no update to the CPU Test Report for BIOS versions 4.3 and 4.4. I just contacted MSI about this, but I'm wondering since the "outdated" CPU Test Report doesn't show support, whether I'll get another "No"?

  • 790GX-G65 bad flash

    Hello,
    I'm new here, and of course that's because I made a stupid mistake (or more than one).
    I was informed that I could 'unlock' the fourth core on my AMD Phenom II (on http://us.msi.com/landing/amd_quadcore/amd_quadcore.html) so that seemed worth the risk of trying. I followed their instructions and when I rebooted the system didn't work anymore, except for some serious beeping.
    I panicked a little but with the 'Clear CMOS' button I was able to get back into the BIOS, and got my system to work again.
    Still wanting to try to 'unlock' the fourth core, I found an updated 1.5 BIOS with Support for the "CPU Core Control" function.
    (on http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1739)
    I checked, and was running 1.4 at the time.
    I downloaded 1.5 and updated it through M-flash. It seemed to work just fine until when rebooted back in the M-flash section of the BIOS, with no other options.
    I now suspect this may have been booted from the USB-stick (or the dual boot thing, I am not sure). As the only thing I could do in the BIOS-menu was to update the BIOS again, I tried. This time it gave a warning that the version did not match something, but i don't remember what.
    This could have been a smart point not to go ahead with that same flash, but I did. It again seemed to update the BIOS, but this time it would not boot at all anymore.
    The computer remained on on a black screen. After a couple minutes I restarted the system to see if it would boot, but nope. Fans start running, lights come on, I hear the HD spinning up, but no reaction. I tried with and without the USB-stick, but no responses. Screen never seems to get any signal.
    Guess I really screwed this BIOS up now, and hope there still is a way to fix this.
    Still kinda new at this and have been reading a lot to find an answer.
    I found stuff about hotswapping the BIOS (kinda hard since it is soldered on), using floppydisks (where can I still find one of those?), or using certain key-combinations on PS2-keyboards, but I finally got a bit scared and thought to ask you before screwing it up even more, if possible.
    Hope you can help.
    This is my hardware, if you need more info please let me know. I (was) run(ning) Windows 7 Ultimate RC.

    Ok seeing how nobody knows the answer to your problems and which I know, nobody wants to be in a position where a bad flash has gone awry. I have to tell everyone here that MSI has screwed up bigtime on its latest bios revision for this mainboard! there seems to be a fatal error when flashing with the M-flash. MSI seriously needs to add a note to the new .150 bios and add DO NOT FLASH THIS BIOS WITH M-FLASH AS IT WILL BRICK YOUR MOTHERBOARD, USE HQ MSI USB TOOL INSTEAD well thats the sad truth about it all. I was in your same position and all of this could have been avoided with a little note attached to the new bios update. Now here´s the good news  you can recover it with the help of some czech programmers and a little ingenuity. follow the trail and put it all together in order to learn how to flash the damaged bios through the spi diagnostic port, no need to desolder or anyother physical hack. heres a diagram of the boards diagnostic port, numbers are based on a parallel header. you will need 4 150 ohm resistors 1/4 watt, skip the 1uf cap in the schematic from here http://www.fccps.cz/download/adv/frr/spi/msi_spi.html as you do not need an external power source. VCC is unused in our case as the motherboard still boots standby power. Run CWSDPMI.EXE before SPIPGM.EXE
    SChematic in order to build the cable
    the following commands are used to identify, erase and finally flash the dead bios chip
    SPIPGM.exe /i
    SPIPGM /e
    SPIPGM /p bios.120 (i used bios version 1.2 to be on the safe side)
    MSI JSPI1 PIN HEADER ASSIGNMENT
         Vcc  |o o|  Vcc <-- (both not used)
    10   SO  |o o|   SI   9
     7   CS# |o o| SCLK   8
         GND  |o o|  GND  18
          n.c. |o  |
                `---'
    summary
    1. Build an SPI Cable and install header pins on jspi1 port
    2. Leave the computer connected in standby power and attach the cable to the jspi1 pinout and attach the parrallel end to another computer booting DOS (for example I built a custom freedos bootdisc with said programs)
    3. run the spi server then run the spi software
    4. detect, erase, flash
    5turn pc on and learn from your mistakes
    Optional flash the new 150 bios with the HQ MSI USB TOOL!

  • 790gx-g65 No Boot

    Just built new gaming rig using the 790gx-g65 board. First time i tried to boot i missed seeing the initial post. I did see a screen that said press F11 to enter setup. After i pressed F11 machine froze up and i had to shut down using the power supply switch.  Now i cant get anything to come up at all. its like there is no video signal whatsoever.  Also now the main power button only works to start up the machine i have to use the power supply switch to turn it off. Any ideas on what might cause the non booting issue.

    Thats quoted from your link.
    Its time to lay your hands on a single DDR3 stick, one of those green ones with the black ICs on them and without XMP. That will be the only way to establish if this RAM is the culprit.
    Your mem was intended for Intel based systems and without being able to get into your BIOS you are not able to try and manually set an acceptable RAM speed and timing for your board. Sorry, but change those modules for some memory intended for your AMD board.

  • Re: MSI 790gx-g65 no post, no beep (split)

    I am in an almost identical situation and it is ruining my christmas. My 790GX-G65 had been running with no problems for several months.
    I was running a routine backup and the PC powered itself off - no it was not set to self power off, it had at least 10 minutes left to run.
    I have gone through all the usual stuff and now the mainboard is on my test bench with just the cpu/hsf and a stick of RAM.
    When I press the power button the fans spin up and leds come on - Does anybody know what the LED indicators indicate? I can find no reference in my manual or searching google. NB1, LED2, LED3 and LED4 light up, LED1 doesn't.
    It doesn't post or even send a signal to the monitor - i.e. the monitor detects a cable is connected but is receiving no signal. I have tried using 2 separate pci-e cards as well as the integrated. It does appear to be on though. And it doesn't turn itself off. I left it running for just over 20 minutes and it was in the same state - fans running.
    Also now holding the power button won't turn the mainboard off - plugging in an external power button doesn't work either. I have to turn off the PSU to power down the board.
    Specs:
    AMD Phenom II X4 955BE
    MSI 790GX-G65
    OCZ 2x2GB DDR3
    Corsair HX520 Modular
    Xigmatek HSF
    MSI/ATI HD4870 1GB
    none of it is overclocked and has never been.
    I updated the mainboard bios several weeks ago via liveupdate in windows to iirc v1.5.
    The only parts I don't have to test are a replacement CPU or PSU. I should be able to get my hands on another PSU tomorrow but anybody who can tell me what the LED indicators stand for would be a real help.
    Thanks

    Hey Andy2009,
    I seem to be having the same issue with my son's system. We put it together just over a year ago then all of sudden, BAM!!! Just wouldn't boot.
    Symptom:
    Press the power button, the fans spin up, with the exception of LED1, the remaining LED's light. No video signal is detected by the monitor. Although it appears to be powered up, the system doesn't POST, not a single beep. It just remains on.
    Also now holding the power button down for any lenght of time, does not shutoff the power supply. To turn it off you must disconnect the AC power line to the supply.
    System Specs:
    MSI 785G-E53
    AMD Phenom II X4 965BE
    ADATA 2x2GB DDR3L-1333G
    Has never been overclocked.
    According to the user manual, the LED's are indicators for the "NB Phase" and "Active Phase Switching" mode for the CPU. I'm not sure what that means but the chart showing the LED status, shows that LED1, regardless of what power mode the CPU is in, should be lit. As the modes change the next LED# lights. My guess is that something happened to the phase 1 power mode circuitry on the mainboard.
    I began troubleshooting by replacing the PC power supply. Disconnected all the peripherals, removed the mainboard from the case, reseated the processor and memory, tried to reset CMOS, etc... By the end of the week, I purchased another mainboard/processor bundle and quickly determined that the mainboard was root cause . The AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE CPU seems to be fine. I'll be sending this board back as an RMA.
    I tried searching the internet  for POST type issues for MSI 785G-E53 with very little results  . After replacing the mainboard, I noticed the 785G-E53 lettering on the mainboard was actually a label, covering the silkscreen lettering 790GX-G65. Did another quick search on-line  and found this forum posting.
    I know this doesn't answer your question, but hopefully it will help others.
    So what does all this mean, that is the "NB Phase" and "Active Phase Switching" LED's?   
    Thanks in advance,
    Normand
