USB port(s) on my motherboard (Z87-GD65 Gaming) is weird with Corsair Link

The JUSB3 port on my motherboard does not play nicely with Corsair Link. Corsair Link will not recognise any of my sensors or fans, and will not report neither fan speeds nor anything else in the software. And a lot of times before (that's before I simply un-plugged it) Windows played the sound of a device being un-plugged, and then being plugged back in again, in an instant. This obviously irritated me as the sound(s) kept playing at 5 min. intervals.
I am not sure if it's the motherboard that is damaged, or if it's the H100i. -- I'd personally place my money on the H100i, but you never know.
As I am writing this I am testing the H100i on JUSB2 instead, for the time being it seems to run just fine; I can edit the fan speeds in Corsair Link, and I can monitor the pump speed and everything else. The sound hasn't played (yet). And I am really in want of knowing what could be wrong. I'll test with my front panel plugged into JUSB3 and see how it goes. -- USB stick then.

Oh, and to get the firmware update I had to un-install the driver then install them but not re-start. Then I could get it to update.
He is an excerpt of my report to Corsair that lists what I did to get the firmware to update:
Quote
As for the Corsair Link, I was able to get it to "see" the H100i for a short time. I did this buy disconnecting the link and installing only the H100 to a rear usb port.
I then deleted all of the hidden device drivers and boom the H100I showed up. I then installed the Corsair link (Without powering down) and was able to play with the H100I there until a reboot when it was lost. So I guess just waiting on that driver / new firmware to proceed.
This may be a little different that what you did as I have the Corsair Commander, Fans, Lights and H100I.

hello i'm new here and i have a tiny liltle question ,
i want to buy i7-4770TE cpu,
the problem is that i dont know if this cpu will work on my motherboard (z87-gd65 gaming),
i know that i7-4770T is working,
can you please solve my question soon?

Question for you is why would you want the TE version when they are essentially the same but the TE (2300) version is slower than the T (2500)?
a friend sell this to me with price tag 900NIS* (228USD),
this is a USED cpu

Slow shutdown Z87-GD65 Gaming

If I allow my Win64 system to go into sleep mode. Wake it up and then try to shutdown I find that it takes ages to shutdown once the black screen appears. It seems like it has shut down but the fans keep spinning for a good 20 seconds and eventually I will hear my speakers pop as the soundcard powers down. A reboot and then power down does not take anywhere as long. Regardless of what apps have been running or are running.
I also get random DPC latency spikes if I do not reboot after going to sleep or even just running on 'balanced' for a while. Setting power management completely off and rebooting resolves this.
Is this more likely to be a USB device causing the above issues?

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 Gaming BIOS Update

Bought this setup quite a while ago, running a 4670k on the z87 gd65 gaming board and thought about trying a bit of OCing, probably just gonna try out the OC Genie for now, but i was wondering if it would be a good idea to do a BIOS update or is that not necessary? Im still running on bios 1.3 which from what i can see on the msi site is a quite old one.

Quote from: flobelix on 23-September-14, 01:02:53
No, 1.3 is too outdated. If wanting to go for latest generation vga get the latest vga (1.B):
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
A.) Download the attached archive (E7845IMS_1B0.rar) and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
B.) Download and install the Forum flash tool.
C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
D.) Make sure that all win 8 options are disabled. (Fast Boot etc) Also make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
F.) Boot to the USB
G.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash
H.) After flashing reinstall ME drivers in Windows: http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_amt90_mb.zip
Thanks Flobelix, running windows 7 but i guess the procedure is still the same, are the ME drivers the chipset drivers? i downloaded the chipset drivers for my OS from the msi site (intel_chipse_9_mb.zip) or is it the "Intel Management Engine Driver+Microsoft hotfix".

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

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.

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

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

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;

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

MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING DISABLED CORE RATIO LIMIT

i am using MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING board with intel core i7-4770K
it should allow me to adjust turbo ratio/core ratio limit in the bios @ cpu features menu. already update to V1.2 bios.
unfortunately that menu is set to read-only "Auto". it makes me looks like using 4770 NON-K CPU!

hahaha. no need to use exclamation mark, bro.
ok done. it is because i am confuse with some value with [Auto] and some with Auto without []
for the information, i only managed to get 44x for the 1-core ratio. if more than that, it will go to bluescreen when booting.
any idea how to solve that problem? like asus motherboard, it has PLL overvoltage to overcome ratio more than 45/46.
how about MSI? its my 1st time using MSI motherboard for the i7 family.

Will Z87 GD65 Gaming boot with 4790k in order to update BIOS?

So, I have a Z87 GD65 Gaming motherboard.
I was planning on buying a 4770k cpu, but changed my mind to 4790k. The motherboards supports 4790k in the last release of BIOS.
Do i have to buy a supported CPU (or send to a local store) to update BIOS or can I boot directy with the 4790k and update?
Thanks.

board needs to be at least at bios 1.9 to even post with a Haswell refresh cpu. While 4790K is officially supported with the later bios 1.A it should at least post with 1.9. Therefor a boar manufactured before 2014-02-24 will not work out of the box with a 4790K and a supported Haswell cpu to flash or update by a shop will be needed to use the cpu.

Will the Z87-GD65 GAMING + bios update support an i7 4790K

Hi,
I was checking MSI official webpage for the Z87-GD65 GAMING, and seems the last bios 1.9 2/14/14 says,
Quote
Support Next Generation Processors.
But no direct info if it supports the i7 4970K, i been very happy with 4770K but my Blue Iris camera server is asking for quad core to increase the framrates, so i could upgrade my main pc and move the 4770K but before committing, would be good to know my motherboard will support the CPU.
Thanks for your time,

General consensus is the 4790k is a Haswell 4770k rebranded with better TIM and higher clock rate. It should work right out of the box on Z87. Should know for sure around the 25th of this month at the CPU release and people start testing it.

Question about Z87-GD65 Gaming 7.1 HD Audio

Hi, I am interested in the new Z87 GD65 gaming motherboard, it looks cool but I have a question about the 7.1 HD Audio.
Does it only support through S/PDIF output? or, by using the Sound Blaster Cinema suite, it able to simulate virtual 7.1 surround
to my Stereo headset, just like other standalone 7.1 virtual sound cards do?
Sorry for poor English
Thanks in advance.
