MSI x79A-GD65 (8D) no post, no beep, no dispay

I have an MSI x79A-GD65 (8D) Motherboard
G.Skill 32GB CL9 2133Mhz RipjawsZ Performance
Samsung SSD 830-Series 128Gb
Intel Core i7 3930K 3.2GHz
2x Nvidia 130GT
Frio Advanced CPU Cooler
Corsair TX 850w PSU
Fractal Design Define R3 casing
I just bought it. Everything new (except the nvidia cards). I installed everything in the right slot according to the User Guide. I turn the computer on and their is no output, no signal to the screen, no beeps, no LED Post.
I've disassebled the computer and reassembled it again with different configurations, 1 stick of RAM with the PSU, processor, and video card. changed videocard. tested the video cards on my old computer and they worked.
Everything runs as they should; all fans spinn, even the graphics card fan, the LED lights "DRR PHASE" and "CPU I/O PHASE" are blue (can't see the CPU PHASE one because its covered by some Military Class thingy).. the only LED not showing is the HDD one, but since it doesnt even boot its not active. No warning LEDs or so...
I figure its the PSU, but 850W should work fine...
anyone with a clue?
thankfull for any help I can get

thanks for the help. There was no problem at all with the PSU after all, there seems to have been an incompabillity issue between x79a-gd65(8D) and Corsair TX850. I called the place where I bought my Corsair and asked I they ever tested it against my modell of MB, and they did not. I realized this endevour would continue untill end of mankind, and beeing so certain that it was an incomplabillity issue, I bought a Cooler Master PSU from another reseller...and it worked.
I don't know if anyone else has had this kind of problem before, but this was the solution for me.
Thanks again for all the help!
No problems with X79A-GD65(8D) here using a Corsair HX850, but, I did have trouble with a BB X II. Tried both a Corsair AX1200 and HX850. If the replacement mainboard acts the same, I have a Thermaltake here I can test with to rule out a compatibility theory. I can only guess the Corsair PSU you had had some odd intermittent function behavior & was faulty. I know the AX1200 & HX850 work, as I had them on other systems running with no problems.

MSI X79A-GD65 (8D) Boot error B2

I bought my ssystem last week. All hardware came in and I build it up.
This is the hardware I have:
Mainboard: MSI X79A-GD65 (8D)
CPU: Intel Core i7-3930K/3.2GHz 12MB LGA2011 Hexa-core
Case: Corsair CASE Graphite 600T
Power supply: Thermaltake SMART 650W/ 80plus
Cooler: Thermaltake Contac 39
SSD: Intel SSD 520 series 240GB
HDD: Seagate HI 3.5" 2TB Barracuda 7200RPM
Graphics: MSI N660Ti PE 2GD5/OC GTX660Ti
Memory: CORSAIR DDR3 1600MHz 16GB Kit 2x8GB Domi DDR3 - 240 pin - 1,5V - CL9 - 2x 8 GB Kit
DVD: DVD RW AD-5280 24x DL SATA Black Bulk 24x/24x - Serial ATA
The problem:
Everything looks fine all fans are spinning when I power on the computer. Keyboard lights up. I can even press del to enter setup.
I never get into setup though. It just displays error code B2 in the bottom right corner and a blinking cursor in the top left corner.
So always error B2. I see this error to on the LED's in the mainboard.
What I have tried:
- Boot the system with one memory module in Dimm socket 1
- Boot the system with on memory module in Dimm socket 3
- Place the graphic cards in another PCI-E socket
- Double checked the connector of the power on the graphic card, the mainboard, near the cpu and the graphic card power on the mainboard.
- Boot the system without any devices, just cpu, memory and graphic card.
- Reset the CMOS with the button on the back of the mainboard.
Can somebody help me solve my problem? I have no idea what to do anymore?
Oh: 1 thing just came to mind, I have connected all my system fans to my case instead of on my mainboard. I can manage the speed that way, can it have something to do that there is no Sysfan1 connected to the mainboard? (A bit far searched I guess).
Help would be much apreciated.

I just wanted to let the readers know that I found the problem.
I have tried to screw out my old Videocard and placed that in my new system. It booted without any problems.
The MSI Geforce GTX 660 Ti videocard caused my problem. I have read some things about this card to on the internet.
They tend to use to much power in this videocard so it can cause POST problems.
Here is some more info about it: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/MSI-GTX-660-670-overvolting-PowerEdition,18013.html
I hope this info helps other people to.

MSI X79A-GD65 (8D) - pci gpu placment

Hi
I have MSI X79A-GD65 (8D).
Is it possible to put gpu on second or third pci slot but when first slot is empty?
My cpu cooling is Noctua NH-D14 SE2011, it is quite big , and when I put gpu on first slot it is very close to cooler.
So Im thinking about putting gpu on second or third slot to make air flow better.

Quote from: Sea Dog on 23-January-14, 08:25:45
Always amazes me when I see the oddball configurations that show up. The primary graphics slot is PCI_E1 3.0. If you used a CPU cooler such as a Zalman CNPS9900Max-B or Max-R you wouldn't have these ersatz component installation problems. Yes, you should be able to use the new graphics card in PCI_E4 3.0 without a problem. As for the GTX 260, presume that is going to be used as a PhysX card? Try it in any PCI_E 2.0 slot it will fit in and see if it will work. Even the PCI_E6 3.0 should work with it.
Its not a problem beacause it fits on 1 slot too, Im just wondering about putting it on other slot. Zalman CNPS9900Max-B is good but not as good as NH-D14 SE2011. NH-D14 SE2011 is much noiseless, with only one fan on it and with L.N.A its under 12 DB. I think that air flow is better too. But it doesnt metter, Zalman CNPS9900Max-B wasnt even avaliable for me.
So u say i shlould use 2 cards? 260 GTX is my old card i didnt plan to use them both. How should I configure them under windows 8.1?

X79A-GD65 (8D) - Get stuck at 12x cpu ratio multiplier or 1200MHz

Hi all. Just wanted to see if anyone else observed this with the new X79 chipset motherboard and the 3930K or 3960X sandy bridge-e cpu.
When trying to overclock the motherboard in any way
1) CPU Ratio set to any number
2) Per Core Maximum ratio / multiplier
3) OC Genie II
and then trying a CPU stress utility such as Prime95
The CPU gets locked at 1200Mhz, or 12 x 100Mhz and never goes higher than that. At the same time, the temperature sensors believe the CPU is locked at 91 degrees celsius. So I believe on this bios version of 1.2 on the MS-7760 motherboard (X79A-GD65), it thinks 91 degrees is too hot, and never goes above 1200MHz. I've also tried OC Genie and manual overclocking at bios version 1.1, and I cannot go over 1200Mhz.
Only at stock speeds (no overclocking), with the 3930K, at full CPU load tests with Prime95, it does go to 3500Mhz, or 35 x 100, correctly.
Right now I cannot overclock at all, whether with OC Genie, or manual cpu ratio multipliers.
Tweaktown and HWBot and several other websites have observed this. I'm running the latest 1.2 bios, and still get stuck at 12x.
http://hwbot.org/forum/showthread.php?s=51e18bdfe400391d0955716a5c66343d&p=138647#post138647
http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/4423/msi_x79a_gd65_intel_x79_motherboard_review/index5.html

Scratch that. It was happy yesterday, but first boot of the morning today and back to stuck at 12x/91C. Will changing other voltages remedy this? I read something on a review website suggesting this was a problem with the actual 3930K/3960X chips, and not necessarily a motherboard issue.
If I raise my cpu base clock from 100 to 125 and use a 36 multiplier, the machine forces the memory to run at 2,000 MHz, which according to the SPD shown in bios should be OK, but I couldn't get it to boot like that. Is there anything I can change to allow the machine to work in that configuration?
Edit: Just read yet another OC review (this time on HardwareSecrets) and found the following:
"The “correct” way of overclocking Intel CPUs with Turbo Boost technology is to change the clock multiplier that each core will use when the Turbo Boost technology kicks in."
I just tried changing the core ratio limit for all six cores to 45, setting the cpu ratio to auto, and leaving the core voltage at 1.375V, and it seems to work again. Boots into Win7, coretemp displays correct temperatures, and when I load the cpu using prime95, it hits 4.5GHz. I will try setting core voltage to auto also so that the cpu doesn't stay at 1.375V at idle when not necessary. I'd still like to OC the memory in theory - not sure how much boost I'd get by running the memory above 1600 MHz. I'll be using this PC for some computational fluid dynamics, so every bit of speed I can eek out of it will be put to use.
Edit 2: Auto core voltage works, vcore drops to 0.840V at idle, and idle temps drop back down closer to room temperature (using an Antec Sonata Elite case with a Corsair H80 water cooler, so slightly less airflow than ideal but I have the case fans optimized for now by relocating the system blower fan to a drive bay and adding a 120mm fan in the lower drive bays pulling air out of the side of the case).

X79A -GD65 (8D) problem

X79A - GD65 (8D)
having problems i have just built my pc - I need to know, if the ATX 4 power socket jpwr3 needs a power lead connected to it from the psu, if i dont connect i get 3 beep codes 1 long 2 short which i think means no graphics but not sure also, if i do connect up i to psu everything runs, all the fans run and i have no warning debug lights come on, but i get no beep from the bios as if the motherboard is dead or cpu is dead whati need to know is that if the graphics card does not work will i still get the bios beep code if the cpu works. if not then my machine has died

I'm having a problem with starting my computer, when i press the power button the fans spin, all the leds on the motherboard are blue.
During this starting phase off 10(+-)s on and 5 seconds off the motherboards debug led panel shows error 19, 60 and 53.
In the manual it is says: error 19: early south bridge initialization. Error 53: late Memory initialization. Error 60: as i see there is nothing that says
anything about error 60.
So i'm wondering how i can fix these problems.

Only add one memory module, i.e. remove the others for now. Then do a full CMOS clear with PSU power plug removed. >>Clear CMOS Guide<<

X79A-GD65 8D problem with built in BIOS utilities (browser, etc)

Good day. I have my X79A-GD65 8D running for about a week now paired with i7 3930k. The board is working wonderfully, however there is just one issue. After installing winki from the cd and returning to the bios to use the built in browser or MSI live update, the white splash screen appears for a while and shortly after a black screen appears and remains.
Ive tried leaving the disc in the drive and have the browsre run directly from the CD but still no luck. I've also borrowed the install DVD of a friend of mine who has an identical board but it still doesnt work.
Please note that I am on the latest BIOS, version 1.7.
Any help will be appreciated.

Must be talking about Winki? The Software Application User Guide covers it pretty well how it all works and such. Using Live Update is not recommended to be installed or used. Do all UEFI/BIOS updates and driver updates manually from the downloaded files available at the MSI Websites.

X79A-GD65 (8D) will not boot with 4930K or 3930K

Short version:
My system will not boot but gets stuck at "09 Power on South Bridge Initialization"
Detailed description:
I just bought this system and am when I tried to start it it got stuck at "09 Power on South Bridge Initialization". I have removed everything that is not necessary (gfx-card, HDDs, etc.) and only have the CPU and one memory stick inserted (in slot 1 as per the manual). I have also unplugged and put back all power cables from the PSU several times. I have also tried using BIOS A and B.
As I read on this forum that a BIOS update was needed for IVY-Bridge CPUs I bought a 3930K today to see if I could get the system up and running but it still gives me the same error code.
My board serial number is 601-7760-010B1312109204, assuming it is manufactured 1312 = December 2013.
I don't know the BIOS revision as I have never managed to get past the 09 status code.
Any ideas on what the problem could be?
Bought this monster PC as I have a delivery for a client in need of some RAM-heavy processing, so am really starting to feel stressed out about this by now.
Thanks in advance!
System details:
- MSI X79A-GD65 (8D) X79 S-2011 ATX

- ASUS GEFORCE GT 210 1GB DDR3 PCI-E VGA/DVI/HDMI SILENT
- KINGSTON 64GB 1600MHZ DDR3 ECC REG CL11 DIMM (4X16GB) W/TS (two kits, 128GB in total, don't really need ECC but that's what I could find needing 16GB sticks)

even compared to just 10 years ago sales staff have became really dumb as there just hiring people who do not care about anything as long as they get there cut of a sale (usually all they know is basic Consumer parts they stock) and nearly non of them unless they specialize in that level of equipment will have 0 idea what they work with on a pro level part (ECC memory tends to be used on servers and Professional workstations so if they do not use that type of gear then they probably have no idea what ECC really is at all)!
also in that time some major things have happened especially with computer parts like the memory controller moved from the Chipset to the CPU same with the SATA controller , onboard GPU (thats now on the CPU and some have it some don't) and alot of other things and I guess that the people you dealed with had no idea the memory support has very little to do with the board (all the board can do is have BIOS Timing sets now and lists of parts it supports) and is now to do with the CPU alot more as it has the important stuff on it (there very close to a SOC (System On Chip) now)!
if you plan on building another computer remember to do some research yourself before you get a CPU as it is nearly the most important thing of all and they have different features tied to them and do not expect sales guys to have a idea unless there also a Technical support staff member too and work on computers that are of the same class your trying to make and have at least used the same level gear (usually if your doing something like that find a friend who is a computer nerd tell him what your trying to do and get him to help you choose all the parts)!
let me know how it goes when you get the Xeon and have it installed?

new setup for a couple of weeks now and have been tinkering in the bios a little but i just CANNOT get it to boot with anything other than the x1.0 strap
What exactly do you mean by "x1.0" strap? You mean the memory multiplier/ratio?
Quote
just overclocking using the FSB results in failure to boot at (iirc) anything above 105??
This system architecture is not designed for significant changes to the base clock. Overclocking is supposed to be done via the multipliers/ratios only. The behaviour you describe is absolutely normal.

CPU Fan Header died .. Options ?

My CPU voltage header died , after of the instalation of one low RPM fan Papst 8312L .
( In 5 minutes time it died... I had never use the this voltage header , as i have one external voltage regulator circuit) .
But i tried for first time to operate the internal software controled fan speed future , and the voltage header died .
One litle tranzistor named as 2323 (placed next to the voltage header) looks to be the problem .
It haves 12 volt in the one contact , and 0.2 at the other two contacts , is there any information about it ?
I am electronics engineer , is there any alternative tranzistor that i can install ,so to bring in life the header again .
Now i use power from the PSU headers .

The transistor would be fed PWM from the Winbond 83627HF, so DC voltage would be low on some meters. Have you tried a 'scope on it?
Here's a sample circuit from page 114 of the Winbond hardware guide:
I have no idea how MSI implemented the fan header, but the above diagram indicates that a 2N3906 PNP is used.
Hope you got SMD soldering tools!
Good luck!

No S.M.A.R.T. support on X79A-GD65?

Hello,
I can not find any informations about enabling SMART on the X79A-GD65 mainboard. I can not use monitoring for SSD drive if I don't enable it.
Thanks

Quote from: Jack on 19-December-11, 19:15:56
Many "monitoring tools" are unable to access SMART data when the SATA controller is running in AHCI mode. This is not so much an UEFI/BIOS problem but a restriction of the given tool. Google "AHCI S.M.A.R.T." to find out what I am talking about.
Thanks. Can I switch from AHCI to IDE mode without any problems (Windows 7 installed)? Will this lead to some notable performance decrease?

OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit
The system booted up for the first time normal. I installed Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit and then i installed the motherboard drivers from the CD. After i runned the Live Update 5 software from MSI. It found that i had BIOS 1.10 and wanted to download BIOS 1.11. Also it found all the drivers no updated. So i first start flashing the BIOS to 1.11 from windows and then i restarted the system and updated all the drivers. I continue to install all my programs for my work and at night i shutted down the PC. The next morning when i turned on the PC, the system started in black screen for 3-4 sec and then stopped. After that it started again and continued to load windows. Until today every morning it does the same. After a lot of hours that im working on it... when i shutted down and turn it on the next day it does that.
Any clues?
Thanks in advance for your kind help.

Lot's of clues! Wanted v1.11 for what specific reason requiring a BIOS update? First, how did you find a UEFI/BIOS v1.11 that has been pulled because it is a bad BIOS? Two, never flash in a Windows environment or use Live Update, especially for a BIOS update, go to the MSI Website and download drivers and install them manually. Switch to BIOS chip B, and whatever you do, don't flash it to that bad v1.11 or the board will be a brick.
Some of us have found this Beta UEFI/BIOS to be the best one;

X79a-gd65 (8D) won't pass bios

Hi,
I'm back again with my x79a-gd65 (8D)...I did a stupid thing I tested the "OC genie Software" from inside windows 7...
The program asked me to reboot so it could complete OC setup - so I did. It passed BIOS, loaded Windows login. Then I revieced an error when logging in (something and userenv.dll), then getting a black screen (apperently "logged in"). Hit "ctrl+alt+del" and logging out, then "shut off".
Started it up, passed BIOS, I got the choice to Repair Windows or Start Normal. Trying Repair Windows first, it loads the files, then straight back to the choice again Repair Win or Norm... Testing start without repair i got a Blue Screen, reboot, and back to the choice after passing BIOS.
Shut off my computer, killed the PSU, switched on the PSU and then my computer. Now it doesn't pass BIOS check, I recieve a debug code "B2" (Legacy Option ROM Initialization)...
I've had the same setup since i bought it 14 months ago with no problems before this.
Any ideas? I'm in panic mode atm.

MOVED: X79A-GD65 (8D) with 8x16GB memory, anyone?

This topic has been moved to Intel Core-iX boards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165779.0

You messed up badly here. The 16GB modules you've got are registered RAM. Server boards can deal with the clock driver of those modules but desktop boards cannot.
If it was just ECC RAM (not registered) then it might have worked even if the CPU and mobo didn't support ECC modules (according to standards at least, ECC RAM is not officially supported by X79A-GD65 nor Core i processors), registered RAM however is really not going to work.
How the heck did you end up with this kind of RAM modules anyway? Shops with personel having even the very basic technical expertise would never give these to you for use on a desktop board.
