hello,
is there any way to allow hardware virtualization on the x79a-gd45 (8d) board ?
sorry my english,
thanks for reply

If you want Intel VT-D its the same way to enable it.

X79A-GD45 windows 7 freezes during boot after bios upgrade/usb 3.0 drivers inst.

Hello,
After I upgraded my bios from 1.3 to 1.4 I noticed I still had some not properly installed hardware in the computer management screen, so I used live update 5 and found the the Renesas USB3.0 Drivers. The system runs fine, except from a cold start.
When starting the machine, windows freezes on the 4 colour logo, before the usb initializes (this I can tell from the keyboard not lighting up).
A forced reboot does not help. However, going in the bios (to check if all drives are functional) and then booting, does. After this the machine runs fine again.
Now my question is, is this caused by the new bios or by the Renesas USB3.0 Drivers? Or is it something completely different?
Thanks a lot,
Floris

Using LU5 often ends up this way doing UEFI/BIOS updates dead board!
In the future, recommend to use the forum flasher found here with instructions on how to use it; https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=108079.0
After a flash, it is also recommended to remove the power cord from the PSU, remove the battery for awhile, clear CMOS & reset.

X79A-GD45 (8D) OCP always enabled?

Hi guys,
Is there a way to disable the OCP in the X79A-GD45 (8D)? It seems I have 2 options: "Default" and "Enhanced". Enhanced buys me a little bit more room, but currently I'm stuck at 4.5GHz @ 1.425V. Anymore voltage and the processor just immediately clicks off as soon as I start Prime95.
I have a very hardcore water-cooling system. ApogeeXT + quad radiator + 2x MCP35X to drive the whole thing, so I can probably put some serious voltages into the thing if the board will let me.

Sorry, it would be nice to list the CPU eh? It's a 3930K.
Quote
You are already overvolting the CPU past Intel's published datasheet absolute maximum as it is for a 3930k or 3960X by .25v's.
Anyways, I'm convinced that Intel's datasheets are much too conservative. I have an i7-920 here that has been running 4 GHz @ 1.5V for almost 2 years now. The thing also hit 100C (obviously this was an air cooler) from time to time when I ran torture tests on it and yet nothing bad has come of it yet. I'm an EE by trade so I understand the problems of inverse relationship between lifespan and voltage, but you can't really destroy modern day silicon chips unless you SERIOUSLY exceed the voltages (25%+)
I'm currently water-cooled with a Apogee XT and a quad radiator and dual pumps, so the temp on the processor even at 1.425 is 55C under load so cooling is not the issue here.

Just keeping cranking the volts to it until it is stable or pops at the set speed.
That's kind of my point, the motherboard OCP protection won't let me crank the volts. I witness this problem whether I'm multiplier locked to 1.2 GHz or 4.6 GHz. Actually my CPU will take 1.6V and boot at 5.2 GHz to Windows desktop. But as soon as I put any kind of load on it, the OCP kicks in and ends my fun. My question is, is there a way of disabling it? The manual says that it can be disabled, but I assume this is because they just took a GD65 manual and changed 65 to 45. Is MSI good with BIOS updates for this sort of thing or should I go ahead and return the board and get something a bit more.. supported?

MSI X79A-GD45 8D - B2 at boot

Hey,
Just bought a Asus GTX680 4gb graphic card to replace my gigabyte HD7970 GHz edition card.
My system works just fine with the HD card but when putting in the GTX680 card it stucks before the bios windows and only shows the message B2.
However if i wait about a minute it does proceed but then for a second there was a lot of color streaks (looks just wrong) and then it jumped into the start of windows 8 screen where it froze..
I have seen some threads talking about B2 could refer to cpu problems and such but wouldn't i have had about the same problem with the HD7970 too then as it's quiet equal to the other one?
Bought the computer in december and got the following setup:
MSI X79A-GD45 8D
Intel Core i7 3930K 3.2GHz
Corsair 32GB (4x8192MB) CL9 1600Mhz
Corsair SSD Force 3 Series 120GB
Noctua NH-D14 SE2011
Corsair AX 750W 80+ Gold Modular
GK ATI Gigabyte HD7970 Ghz Ed 3GB
Anyone here that might have any knowledge about this? Would be very grateful for any assistance
PS. i did see a thread mentioning turning of legacy which helped someone with this problem but did not help in my case.

My fault, I mean an update for the VGA, not the mainboard. A brand X UEFI/BIOS would in fact kill your mainboard. Using a HDD with an OS on it from another machine is not really a good test as the drivers, chipset, etc. can be completely wrong. X79 default is AHCI Mode, and if the other HDD OS was installed under IDE Mode, that makes sense it wouldn't boot past the log in.
Just an FYI, but have a look in this section of the forum that is VGA related, and as you can see, there are a lot of issues with GOP VBIOS and graphics cards with Windows 8. MSI files will not work on your VGA though.

Do you think a work around could be to install the latest bios update and install windows 7 instead? i.e would that hypothetically reset drivers in the bios that might been install with windows 8?
I've heard horror stories about once Windows 8 is installed with it's embedded key, trying to install Windows 7 is a total disaster. It might work if a switch is made to the other BIOS chip and then installed Windows 7? Might be worth a try. It would sure maybe answer the question about the GOP VBIOS being needed on that VGA.

I suspect that the list is outdated because the processor is supported by the motherboard Big Bang-XPower II and my friend has this setup. http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Big-Bang-XPower-II.html#/?div=CPUSupport it is not included in the list.

We are sorry that we didn't test this processor on this MB, so we still suggest you choose the compatible processor referring to the CPU Supporrt List on our website. Thanks and sorry for any inconvenience caused!
But that's is not important now I bought i7-3930K
Thank you all.

MSI X79A-GD45 (8D) BIOS help??

Hi guys, I'm new here as I've only just managed (barely!) to build my first PC. Although I'm slightly worried that once I turn it on the BIOS of my motherboard won't be the version required to run the i7-3820. I've read in a number of threads from different forums and it seems to be a recurring theme of this motherboard being slightly problematic.
I'm still waiting on my PSU so I can't check it quite yet although everything else has been assembled.
My question is, can I find out the BIOS version of my motherboard from something like a serial no., and if so, where?
My system is as follows -
MSI X79A-GD45(8D)
i7-3820
R9 270x Hawk
2x8GB G-Skill 8GB Ripjaws X DDR3 2133
Cooler Master Hyper 412s
Corsair RM650 80 Plus Gold 650W
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as well as advice on what to do if the BIOS is an old man.
P.S. - there is a ''revision history'' inside the ''software & application'' user guide which notes an update of something (not sure if BIOS) up to ''v1.6 - Update Control Center 2.5 and add MSI SUITE''.
Thanks!

That's a fairly new board. It is manufactured 2013-02-08. All Sandy Bridge E cpus (all 3820s) should be supported out of the box then. It is most likely at bios 10.7 (7760vA7) one of the last bios versions before Ivy Bridge E support had been implemented. A newer bios (12.1) came 2013-02-21.
Sounds like good news, although I'm a pessimist by nature...
Quote from: Sea Dog on 21-January-14, 06:14:10
It is doubtful if that reseller has done anything with the board's initial factory installed UEFI/BIOS version. An admin or moderator will be able to determine the date of manufacture for you and what course of action will need to be done.
You could always try the CPU and see if it will POST or not. No harm should be done trying it. If it doesn'r POST, then you have a pretty good idea it needs the UEFI/BIOS updated. Be sure to 'barebones' the system (minimum hardware installed) outside the case on a plain piece of unprinted cardboard or untreated wood. One RAM stick in the DIMM1 slot.
Hopefully I wont have to follow this advice, took me so long to set everything up!
I did manage to find a few dates on the mobo itself, including one mentioning ''EuP 2013'' as well as a sticker ending with the numbers ''2014''. I think it's a good indication although I may just be seeing what I want to there. Any idea what EuP means?
Thanks for your help so far guys.

MSI X79A-GD45 measurements

Hi guys,
I am planning to get the MSI X79A-GD45 and I have a question regarding the measurements of the board.
Does anyone know the distance between the RAM slots? Because I am planning to use the Zalman CNPS12X which is 151mm long and needs to be fitted sideways (as indicated by the arrows) and I would like to know whether the cooler will clear it.
Does anyone who owns the board care to measure?
Thanks in advance for your trouble guys.

Hi,
sorry, I don't have the board and can't measure anything for you, but I can give you this:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=138939.msg1040204#msg1040204
Quote
I just checked the ATX Specification Datasheet regarding the slot distance. The datasheet talks about a distance of 0.8 inch which converts to 2.032 cm. Looks like I was 0,18mm off when I measured (or my ruler is useless).
Anyway, according to ATX Specifications, the distance between the PCI-E Slots (that have two other slots in between) should be precisely 2.4 inch or 6,096 cm if the board layout is 100% compliant with those specifications.
With that information at hand, you can actually calculate the distance between any give components by measuring the distance between slots on a given photograph.

X79A-GD45 Plus refuses manual voltage overclock?

Hello everyone, I registered over here to ask this question and see if anyone else is having the same issue.
I currently have an i7 3930k installed in my GD45 Plus, I bought the board for its reasonable price and 8-DIMM support. I was pretty happy with it until I discovered this "issue".
Leaving most settings on auto and using the Turbo+Vdroop method (C'mon MSI, would it kill you to add offset overclocking?), 87.5% Vdroop control and +250 on the core override voltage I am able to stress test for 30 minutes to an hour at 4.6ghz before crashing, the CPU is just at the very edge of stability. Load voltage settles around 1.364V with this setup, which is very very low for SB-E chip at that clock speed.
However, if I disable turbo and run a manual clock of 4600mhz things change. All power savings shut off, SA voltage at 1.300V, basically everything opened up as far as power limit/duration settings. It boots to windows fine, but immediately upon loading the CPU the system shuts off and reboots after a few seconds. I tried 4600 at 1.375V... then 1.400V... then 1.450V, all the way up to 1.550V and it has the same effect.
Then I wondered what it would do at stock, sure enough even at 3200mhz stock with a manual voltage the board shuts off immediately once the CPU is loaded up with Prime 95 or IBT.
I am using BIOS revision 17.3, and am about to attempt to downgrade to a previous version to see if that has any effect.
Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong with this thing? This is incredibly disappointing, as I had a very good experience with the X79MA-GD45 mATX board. What is even more disappointing is my garbage (literally the worst board I have ever owned, bar none) ECS X79R-AX Deluxe that doesn't even have a VRM heatsink and needs the BIOS jumper in the reset position to even boot will run the same exact CPU as I am using in the Plus at 4.8ghz all day every day. Really want to get this board working properly as I like everything else about it.
System specs, just in case:
-C2 Stepping i7 3930k w/H100i
-MSI X79A-GD45 Plus
-32GB G-skill DDR3 1600 CAS8
-2x MSI HD7950 TFIII
-Cooler Master V1000 PSU
-Samsung 830 128GB SSD
-Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

MSI X58's had it, and it now has a big time presence in the Z87 lineup.
I haven't tried the Z87 boards yet from MSI (Used several Gigabytes and Asus though) but I'm glad to hear they listened. That was what prompted me to get rid of my Z77 MPower, I had a 5.2ghz capable chip but I did not want to run it there 24/7.

For an everyday machine, industry recognized suggested limit for Sandy-E CPU is 1.350v's. Use the Turbo OC method on Auto CPU V., EIST and C1E enabled. Enhanced Turbo enabled, and VDroop at 100%. Internal PLL Overvolting set to enable. Might have to increase SA, I/O, and PLL V. some. Are the settings in CPU Features increased? Overspeed Protection disabled? Get what you can out of it and that is about all you can expect. G45's aren't known as good OC'ers like GD65(8D's) or Big Bang XPower II's!
I've gone through literally everything. This is not my first time doing this, and I know good overclocks are possible on a GD45 board as I've done it before with arguably the worst of the bunch. I'm not bugged about voltage, I prefer to stay under 1.500V if possible and would only push past that for quick bench runs.

Just asked an uncle what his 3930k C2 runs 46X Turbo OC, VDroop 100% at, and his under IBT will hit 1.384v's peak, and it is perfectly stable with 16GB RAM at 2400.
Don't recommend to go down too far to a UEFI/BIOS with ME 7 FW once ME 8 FW has been installed, or you may create all kinds of HECI mismatch problems. If no crashes or BSOD's, other than when stressing with Prime or IBT, no problems in everyday work, applications, or programs, use it and not sweat the small stuff.
I did some more experimenting, and I think the BIOS might be incorrectly reporting the voltage. I found that I can run 4400mhz at only 1.150V and 4600mhz at 1.200V, there is no way a 3930k with a 1.341V VID is overclocking by 1000+ mhz undervolted like that. It would make sense, if it was about 0.200V off then running 1.400V would actually be 1.600V and even with the power settings tweaked it would instantly shut down unless I was sub-zero, probably due to the VRM's hitting the 130* thermal protection. I can't think of any other reason it could be behaving like this.

GD45-8D - Question before bios flash

Hey,
Got a problem where my computer is more slow than it is supposed to be in heavy instances (3D applications) so need to try updating my bios.
I know how but i currently have 7760vA7 Bios installed but latest is 7760vC2 and says in the BIOS update SOP-documentation "Updating System BIOS version with Intel ME 7 to BIOS version with Intel ME 8"..
First it is C instead of A in the update name, does it matter? However the real question would be, is my board compatible with this update? (also regarding intel ME.. not sure if i have it or not and if that might be a problem too)
Better be safe than sorry and ask first.
Link to the drivers: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/X79A-GD45--8D-.html#/?div=BIOS
Specs.
MSI X79A-GD45 8D
intel Core i7 3930K 3.2GHz
Corsair 32GB (4x8192MB) 1600Mhz
Corsair SSD Force 3 Series
Noctua NH-D14 SE2011
Corsair AX 750W 80+ Gold Modular
GTX680 4gb

Been like this since i built the computer about six months ago but it is only something i noticed when using 3D application software or alternatively games i suppose too (havn't tested it too much with games though).
Same result with ATI HD7970 card so don't think it's the graphic card itself but perhaps the new bios (if compatible) could maybe work due to the pci-e performance fix but could be something else too i suppose.
The reason i know it is more slow than it is supposed to be is i have tried scenes on more or less the same sort of a computer (same kind of i7, 32gb ram, same type of graphic card GTX680 but completely different motherboard though)

X79A GD45 Slow start and slow boot into windows with SSD

Im having some major issues with my X79A GD45 board, When I start the system it takes about 30 seconds sometimes more for something to appear on the screen and from cold boot it starts stops and then starts again before loading.
Once its loaded it is taking forever to get into windows Im running 2 6gb/s SSD's in raid and the windows logo is able to appear and flash 3 or 4 times before I even get into windows.
Ive tried it with just a single drive and re installations of windows but get exacly the same thing its driving me mad as Ive spent so much money on this machine. Details of my system are below:
MSI X79A GD45 v1.0 Bios 1.6
Intel I7 3820
Corsair Vengeance 16gb 1600 Cl9
2 x GTX 680 in SLi
Creative Soundblaster 3D Recon Fatality Sound Card
2 x Sandisk Extreme 240gb in Raid 0
Silvertone Strider 850w PSU
LG Bluray Writer

Updated the SSD Firmwares and it made no difference. Ive already tried single drives and the same. The drives are installed into SATA 1 and SATA2 ports the 6gb/s ones. The hang time is atleast 20 seconds at the splash screen alone before loading into windows. I checked the event log for booting and this is what it showed:

Unable to download bios 7760vC3.zip for X79A-GD45 (8D)

Already a few days choosing either U.S, Europe or Asia from MSI's site I do get the following message:
<Start>

The requested URL /files/downloads/bos_exe/7760vC3.zip was not found on this server.

Where to download the 7760vC3.zip?

It's the same for other European sites. The German one also lists up to C2 (http://de.msi.com/product/mb/X79A-GD45--8D-.html#/?div=BIOS)
As it just applies to certain versions they might really have removed those. Time will tell if C3 and other missing ones will be available soon.
In the meantime the beta versions are still available here and have proved to work so far.

X79A-GD45-8D faulty or soemthing else

well the X79A-GD45-8D purpled screen the os(vmware)
tried to reboot boot failed
long story short
i had to pull 2 sticks of ram out of the right hand (looking at the board ) both out of the blue slots to make it boot.
i checked the mem in another machine and checked in different slots and they work
So it looks like 2 slots on the motherboard for ram have just died..
Any other options that may bring the 2 slots to life so the machine will boot with out excluding the sticks from the machine?

Memory slots has a number.
It won't boot at all with those sticks or would it POST and crash later?
This a new build or it just happened after a while, how long?
I don't think memory slots die, it may be the CPU.

X79A-GD45 8D - 48GB RAM Configuration?

I have recently purchased an MSI X79A-GD45 8D motherboard along with 48GB RAM (6 x 8GB DIMMs). I can't seem to find a configuration for the 6 DIMMs without the endless boot cycle. 32GB is fine in slots 1-4 and I have tried adding the additional 2 in various combinations of the remaining slots but nothing seems to work.
Is it possible? If so, what configuration should I try?
Thanks

most of the time you need to use either 2 , 4 or 8 dimms 6 will cause problems also what ram are you using?
what other componants do you have in your sysetm:
>>Posting Guide<<
your unlikely to get any useful help with the highly limited and vague description of what your using!
are the dimms from a set of 6 matching dimms in a kit was it 3packs of 2x8GB was it a pack or 4x8 and a pack of 2x8GB dimms or 2 sets oor 3x8GB?
check my signature bellow this post to see the sort of info needed but ill put a check list below!
what mother board?
CPU model being used?
RAM (make and model and was its multiple kits)?
what VGA card do you have?
what PSU you using and its +12V rail/s ampage ratings?
What Bios version does the Board have if you know?

X79a-gd45 blue screen

hi everyone.can onyone help me.i just build a new pc with spec :
x79a-gd45
intel i7 4820k
memory corsair vengeance cmz16gx3m2a1600c10r
hdd western digital blue
psu thermaltake 720 watt sm
n msi N750Ti TF 2GD5/OC graphics
it's getting blue screen all the time.
when i replace the memory with the value one it works fine
is it compatible prob or a bad memory prob?can anyone help me?

if you still have that Value RAM stick (by using that to post and get the system up and running) you could try updating the BIOS to Version 2.7 (Latest) by >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< using option 1 and pointing it at the archive for 2.7 found on the product page here http://www.msi.com/product/mb/X79AGD45.html#/?div=BIOS and retry the RAM you have that seems to be causing you problems as it may just be that which is the problem!

Cpu speed is clocked down during heavy use (msi x79a-gd45) ?

Hi
I overclocked my cpu, intel i7 3930K, 32 gb ram win 7 on msi x79a-gd45
cpu base clock : 100
adjust cpu ratio 42
intel turbo disabled
dram freq @1600
cpu core temp 1.290
hyper thread enabled
Everything else is auto
This pc is running at 4.2 in general but when I do render type heavy cpu rendering cpu speed starts going down to 2900, they oscillate betwen 4200 and 2900/2700. I am trying to get it start around 4000. TO me it is kind of pointless that the cpu would clock down when I need them not too. I do not mind if they are clocked down when they are not in use.
I have 750 W with corsair hydro h60
I asked this issue before but I was not able to resolve. I am hoping that someone else might be able to help me out here .
thanks

Yes, with a Turbo OC on the Core Ratios (set them all to 44X) in CPU Features sub menu plus the CPU V. and CPU Ratio must both be set to Auto. EIST and C1E enabled. Enhanced Turbo enabled. Overspeed Protection disabled.
If the mainboard also has the VDroop option, then set it to 100%. Have you tried the CPU Ratio OC at 44X with the CPU V. in Auto already? If it is stable, then no need to try the Turbo method of OC. With CPU V. in Auto, you can enable EIST and C1E and get power saving features to work. CPU V. must be in Auto for the voltage to decrease at low use or idle (33C).
Hi PirateDog
Thanks for your reply, very helpful
So I now have
Cpu base 100
ratio 44
EIST enabled (intel turbo disabled, enhanced turbo disabled)
Dram auto
Cpu Core V auto
C1E Enabled
C-State disabled
Cpu Phase Control Disabled
VDroop +%100
This setup seemed to push my average cpu temps by around 7C degrees, so I am around 64C if all are at max. I am not sure if this issue is from another place but worth mentioning. I am not sure if this is still in the good range. On the other hand this setup seems to lower my average idle temps couple degrees.
Before I was using
Cpu base 100
ratio 44 Cpu Core V auto
Dram 1600
and everything else was either disabled or set to auto
Any further recommendations?
thanks
