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.

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.

No, 1.3 is too outdated.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".

Re: Z87-GD65 GAMING BIOS Update. Best approach?

Thats great, thanks for your reply Svet. I'll repeat the same process with the BIOS you posted tonight.
Kind Regards,
Buz.

So my laptop was lister in this list:

But now they removed it?
Are they stopping with driver support for older notebooks?

Looking for a stable 4.8 ghz (4770k/MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming) BIOS tips?

Yeah I know. It's a lot of volts. But other than deliding it, which I will do soon, I'm looking for any BIOS tips on decreasing the voltage and keeping it from getting the BSOD after an hour of gaming and general use. This whole platform is new to me since my last OC'ing experience was with socket 775/X38.
One approach I was thinking to take is using Aida64's stress test by individually stressing the cpu, cache and memory seperately since all the controllers are individual entities now. That way if the cache is crashing from lack of voltage maybe I can come down on the vcore, or maybe turn off XMP and run at 1333mhz, etc.. If you guys have any BIOS tips I would appreciate the help. Yeah I can do 4.5/1.26 all day long but what fun is that? Thanks!
Current BIOS: E7845IMS V1.1
Build date: 4/26/2013
ME Version 9.0.2.1345
4.8 ghz/1.445V/2.0VCCIN/4.0Ring/1.2RingV/Enabled XMP profile, VDimm to 1.59. Undelided. Only ran Aida for 30 min on cpu test. Max core temps of 82C.

Nice of you just how you respond to post
Hijack the thread with next to useless replies, sing praises of brand-X, and then the responses are considered not nice? As xmad recommended, open a new thread with all of your systems components. From watching an uncle overclock his MSI Z87 to 50X on air cooling, it was relatively simple with some very slow and careful bits of trial and error done in small increments. It's a poor workman that blames his tools, think of it as a challenge if nothing else.

USB 3.0 Win8- Z87 GD65 Gaming - LIVE UPDATE Website BUG

Hey,
I found that theres a file missing from the MSI Webpage
msi.com/service/Live-Update-5-Manual/
You cant download Live Update 5 please webmasters check that.
I have questions:
1º How can i update the BIOS? Do i have to download some stuffs and copy&paste to a flash drive?
2º I didn't update BIOS yet, what shall i do? Install the stuff that comes in the motherboard CD and later download everyting one by one from the motherboard website?
3º I saw that on the download drivers from the motherboard website that there was a Intel USB 3.0 driver to download, but its only compatible to Win7 and i have W8.1, what shall i do? Answer
4º Do my CPU needs drivers and where can i get them?
I have the Intel i7 4770
4.1º Shall i download the integrated graphics drivers that comes with the CPU?
4.2º Is the HD 4600 Graphics used?
PS: My GPU is Nvidia GT440 1GB Gigabyte DDR3 (I'm waiting a few months to upgrade my GPU)
5º Shall i download Live Update 5?
Waiting for answers,
Sorry for bad English,
Pedro Barbosa

Thankx for all answers above.

My advice? DO NOT DOWNLOAD OR USE LIVE UPDATE! For flashing BIOS, use the forum's USB flash method. For drivers, download them from the MSI Website for your mainboard and install them manually.
As mentioned by the previous poster, I do believe that is true. Win 8.1 has the USB 3.0 drivers.
[cant post links]forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=169827.0
[cant post links]msi.com/product/mb/Z87GD65_GAMING.html#download
I have a few questions:
Why should i use that method? Is it better? And it says "Make sure that all win 8 options are disabled. (Fast Boot etc", after i update the bios can i just turn the settings on again?
I have a problem write now with my USB 3.0 Ports, PS: My bios is outdated, i just wanna know if i upgrade the drivers it will be better, because when i have the 2 USB 3.0 conected (that come with my case) the motherboard usb 3.0 are like cancelled, and nothing that i insert there will work.
Eg: If i connect 2 ports on the motherboard USB 3.0 and if i connect 2 ports of the case, only 2 of the case will work, if i connect 2 on the case and next to the motherboard, only 2 of the motherboard will work

Z77A-GD65 Gaming BIOS Update Problem

An update to version 25.1 just appeared and when I tried to run it I got an error message saying it's incompatible with 64 bit Windows. This wasn't an issue with 25.0 and there wasn't anything on the download site about the new one being 32 bit only. Has anyone else tried to install this on a 64 bit system ? Because I've been getting some unusual error messages lately and I'm not sure if the problem is with the download or something on my system. Thanks

I was hoping you saw my reply before you tried that other ME firmware update, as your ME was updated already. The ME firmware and driver are different entities, and they have different version numbers that do not match. That is not a problem.
All you need to do is look in the UEFI/BIOS System Information and it will tell you what BIOS version is installed along with what ME firmware is installed. When in Windows, you can use CPUID's CPU-Z Mainboard Tab and it too will show the information. Again, the forum flash method took care of the ME firmware flash. There is no need to go through all that multiple flashing baloney. Too much risk involved if for no other reason.
Did you download the newest CC utility yet? If still no luck, a ticket to MSI is recommended so they can work on an updated version for your mainboard.

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

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?

Overclocking on the Z87-GD65 with i7-4770K

Ok, so the last board i got from MSI was a Z68 board with a 2500k and i was able to overclock it pretty well up to 5.0. But now with the upgrade i just did i got the Z87-GD65 gaming board with the new i7-4770k and i cant even get it to go over 4.2. half the stuff that is in the bios i haven't ever seen before so im not sure what all this "ring" stuff is and whatnot but would anyone like to explain some of this stuff to me possibly on what i have to do to do some actual Overclocking with this thing? if anyone does know?
Thanks,
Mike
If you need to know any other info just let me know, ill try to get back asap. Thanks

Just got my 4770k and GD65 installed.
Love the board and the UEFI bios, my first MSI one for ages.
Offtopic: I did notice that i couldn't disable the Intel Raid OROM, even with boot set to UEFI only, it always flashes up on startup. Solved it by updating the Satadriver.ffs in the bios from version v12.0.0.1783 included in bios 1.2 with the latest 12.7.0.1910.
Ontopic: Little bit overwhelming all the new bios options after SB/IB.
I just went for a quick and easy 4.4ghz
CPU Ratio (44)
CPU Core Voltage Mode (Auto)
CPU Core Voltage Offset Mode (+)
CPU Core Voltage Offset (+0.20)
Ring Ratio(43)
Everything else left at auto in the bios.
I set the ring ratio to one less than CPU (as read that on Techpowerup)
The core voltage offset of +0.20 was just arbitrary but seems to work, can stress test in Aida64 for over an hour no probs. Did half an hour of Prime aswell, but need to do more.
CPU is idling at 800mhz and ~.0.7volts
Fully loaded its 4400mhz and 1.194v in Aida64 with Prime its 1.188v
Temps fully loaded are 65'c with the occasions spike to 71'c on one particular core, So not that much worse than my 3750k at 4.5ghz.
(Thermalright SB-E cooler dual fan, MX4 paste)
Really feel as though I need to tweak/change some more settings though !!!!
I didn't touch LLC, as i see no option in the bios anywhere for this ?(Is it called something else now?)
Did I miss anything in the bios that can help, power options or something ??

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.

Latest Bios for the Z87 GD65 ??

Okay guys/gals, i'm wondering what is the lastest bios for the Z87 GD65
I see the offical site has version Version 1.B Date 2014-07-21
Here in the forum we have Version 1B2 Date 29-July-14
any Ideas ??

1.B official and latest version

Power for 1 second, the off. Z87-GD65 Gaming + i7-4770k

New build today...
Z87-GD65 Gaming + i7-4770k
Corsair AX850
Corsair 2x8GB slot 2&4
Press the power button, and the CPU tries to spin, case fan spins and lights for < sec, then power off. No LCD codes.
The AX850 is a returned FRYS PSU, so i'm hoping that the PSU the problem, but I thought I'de check here for other ideas before return the tomorrow.
Tried resetting cables, taking out memory, etc..
Am I missing something here?

I was in the similar situation few month ago, just with the z77 board.
At that time, I had accidentally bent some pins on the socket and that was causing my shut downs.
You should check them as well.

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;

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