X79A-GD65 (8D) (Info)

Hi could someone tell me how many chokes there are on the entire board ?
I know there are about 12 Super Ferrite Core chokes on the board.
But how many are there in total ? I cant tell by looking at the pics .....perhaps someone got the answer for me.

  • 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.

  • [X79A-GD65 8D] Information about Intel(R) I/OAT and IOH temp.

    Hi to all,
    I've an X79A-GD65 8D mobo (bios ver. 1.6b3) and I'd like to know if is it possible to enable the Intel(R) I/OAT parameter, because I didn't find it into the bios.
    Here a little more info about this technology: Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel® I/OAT), a component of Intel® Virtualization Technology for Connectivity, improves data flow across the platform to enhance system performance (source Intel.com).
    Just another information, does anybody knows how to read the IOH (X79 chipset) temperature?
    Thanks in advance.
    Adamo

    You mean PCH temp? With CPUID's utility H/W Monitor, it is TMPIN1.
    As far as Intel I/OAT is concerned, maybe this is information is covered at the Intel Website on X79 chipset mainboards. You will find all Virtualization enable/disable features in the OC, CPU Features sub menu.

  • 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
     - INTEL CORE I7 4930K 3.4GHZ 12MB S-2011
     - INTEL 530 80GB SATA SSD MLC RESELLER KIT
     - INTEL 530 480GB SATA SSD MLC BULK (4 of these)
     - FRACTAL DESIGN INTEGRA R2 750W
     - 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.

  • 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?

  • MSI X79A-GD65 (8D) Restarting

    Hello,
    On Friday 18/1/2012 i assembled the following parts:
    CASE: Corsair Obsidian Series 800D Full Tower
    PSU: Corsair AX Series AX860i Digital ATX Power Supply - 860 Watt 80 Plus Platinum Certified Fully - Modular PSU
    MOTHERBOARD: MSI X79A - GD65 (8D)

    HD1: Western Digital Black WD2002FAEX 2TB 7200rpm 64MB Cache
    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.

    Perform a full cmos clear of the bios and re-test.
    Remember that when you are done you are going to need to re-set the Hard drive mode (IDE / AHCI / RAID) etc.

  • 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.

  • MSI X79A-GD65 (8) Ram Compatability

    hello gents
    I'm planning for my new rig with the MSI X79A-GD65 (8).
    I found in the memory compatibility guide page 7 that the "G.Skill [RIPJAWSZ] F3-12800CL9Q-16GBZL" kit that has 4 dimms as advertised.
    filled the 8 dimms in the test
    does it means i can use two kits of this with no problem???
    please advise cause i'm on a harry to buy.

    Quote from: HU16E
    If you are going to fill all 8 slots, you are better off getting an 8 stick matched and tested kit. Reason, mixing kits even though the same part number may have different chips on them and not be compatible with each other. That particular RAM manufacturer even has some disclaimers about that with some kits.
    That's right.
    http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=427
    3. G.SKILL guarantees module compatibility within this specific Quad Channel kit. Combining with other memory kit or module (even with same part number) is not recommended to avoid any compatibility issue.
    In fact, 8 memory modules is not a good idea at all.
    There will be a huge bandwidth demand and you'll need to raise the voltages and/or to slow them down.
    Otherwise you'll get into stability issues.

  • Regarding X79A-GD65(8D) 4.4 BIOS

    I notice Station drivers is showing a 4.4 BIOS and since I am getting my 4930K tomorrow, I'd like to have the latest BIOS installed.
    Having said that, I only really trust the BIOS files that I get from here so is there any chance of one of you fine gentlemen posting it :D
    Thanks!

    It's currently not available. But if MSi fixed the link you can download it from product site as it is an official bios: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/X79A-GD65--8D-.html#/?div=BIOS
    WAIT FOR THE MSI RELEASE. Don't download it from a third-party site. MSI might have removed it because there was an issue with the file.
    If just wanting to update for Ivy-Bridge E support you can use 4.3 anyway as it already supports 4820K, 4939K and 4960X: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/X79A-GD65--8D-.html#/?div=CPUSupport

    This is right off G.Skill's Website for the RAM;
    2. The default DIMM frequency depends on its SPD, which is the standard way of accessing information from a memory module. Under the default state, some memory modules for overclocking may operate at a lower frequency than the vendor-marked value.
    3.G.SKILL guarantees module compatibility within this specific Quad Channel kit. Combining with other memory kit or module (even with same part number) is not recommended to avoid any compatibility issue.
    The OP doesn't specify the exact RAM kit, so I can only speculate the combination of two kits may be part of the problem.

  • MSI X79A-GD65- quad sli ?

    Hi All ,
    Im looking at buying a MSI X79A-GD65 and im wondering if the board will support quad sli ie 2x gtx590's ?
    Any help would be great as i cant seem to find a definitive answer .
    Regards
    Hoody

    Quote from: Jack on 07-January-12, 21:55:30
    2 x 590GTX cards is not quad sli, but two-way SLI (2 x GPUx2).
    Yes, it is supported.
    Even though the VGA test report list for the mainboard does not mention this configuration (it probably wasn't tested), it mentions 2 x 295GTX cards which also have a dual GPU.
    Thats great thanks for the quick response although http://uk.geforce.com/optimise/guides/how-to-build-a-quad-sli-system  according to that guide 2x gtx590 is quad sli hence why i asked .
    Anyway thanks again
