Z68MA-G45(B3) Ivy Bridge Bios

I contacted MSI support to see if they where going to update my BIOS (Z68Ma-G45(B3)) to work for the the Ivy Bridge CPU and they Sent A link to this beta bios (link removed, not for public).
I tried to flash the BIOS using the forum bios tool but the tool  would not let me set up my usb device saying it was not a compatible bios file.
So I unrared the file and used the M-Flash utility in the bios and it flashed correctly.
The next thing is to see if it actually will work with a Ivy Bridge CPU when they are released. I assume it will but you never know.
Oh and does anyone know of a release date for the Ivy Bridge CPU'S?
Kevin

Last rumor was sometime in April.
Added: Before the forum is overloaded with questions about Ivy Bridge CPU support for all the 6 series mainboards, check with MSI Tech Support here;
http://support.msi.com
PLEASE don't bug the forum with 'any news' posts, all are MSI product users here just like you, yes, even the admins & mods. A good place to watch would be the Beta BIOS Section found in the Overclockers. Undervolting, Modding Corner Section of the forum. Jack does his best to keep it updated as he receives anything to post. PLEASE, don't bug him about it either.

  • Buying Z77MA-G45 with an Ivy Bridge CPU

    Hi
    I would like to buy Z77MA-G45 with Ivy Bridge CPU. It isn't supported by default BIOS (1.1), and I don't really have any possibility to upgrade BIOS with a supported CPU (yes, I've read the topic).
    So now questions:
    - is Z77MA-G45 runnable with Ivy Bridge just to get to BIOS and update from an USB drive on in a similar way?
    - is there any marking on mobos' box that could indicate the BIOS loaded (the BIOS version itself, lot number, serial number, something similar?)
    TIA

    Quote from: Warner on 16-May-12, 00:53:07
    Hello TIA,
    The board will handle all Ivy Bridge CPUs without any issues regardless the BIOS version shown on the CPU support list.
    However, it is highly recommended that you perform BIOS update to the latest version once the system is up and running for best result.
    Sincerely,
    Warner
    Warner without trying to hijack the thread woudl that also apply to Z77A-GD65?
    Thanks

  • H8-1260t / IPISB-CH2 (Chicago) - Can HP add support for Ivy Bridge processors?

    The latest UEFI BIOS upgrade for this Sandy Bridge H67-based motherboard is 7.12, dated 10/12/2011. The chipset has the capability to run Ivy Bridge CPUs (released Q4 2011) with a BIOS update to the microcode table (add the CPUID table entries for the 306xx CPUs to the 209xx Sandy Bridge CPUs already in the table, that's all!). I have checked the BIOS using AMI's MMtool, and BIOS ver 7.12 only supports Sandy Bridge CPUs. Can customers using the IPISB-CH2 motherboard, like me, get a BIOS update to support IvyBridge CPUs? -imsai8080 ref:http://www.asrock.com/news/events/2012ivy/ Please note that ASRock is the end-user sales department of Pegatron, which made the IPISB-CH2 motherboard for HP.H67DE3 looks very like the "Chicago" board. further ref:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1155http://www.techpowerup.com/153756/ivy-bridge-quad-core-to-have-77w-tdp-intel-plans-for-lga1155-ivy-bridge-entry.html

I have examined the microcode and there is no support for it, though there is pleanty of room to add it. The BIOS itself is dated 10/12/2011. Simply download the update, change the file extension to .zip, look in the zip, and you'll see the actual mod date for CHG_712_Signed.rom file is 10/12/2011. All they did was update the sp56123.rtf file on 2/14/2012, and later moved it the newer Support format in 4/21/2013 (no files were changed internally). I don't know why they improperly dated it for 4/13. Hope that answers your question, although not the answer either of us wanted.Just to confirm, that's what I'm currently running on a h8-1260t, and 10/12/2011 is the date embedded in the BIOS as well.Big_Dave:Both of us understand that Pegatron is not a retail supplier, and requests for BIOS updates come from the customer, HP. The Ivy Bridge processors were released April 2012, 4 months after the intro of the Chicago board, and ASRock, the *retail* side of Pegatron, announced that all 2nd gen Sandy Bridge mobos (including the H67 motherboards) would have Ivy Bridge support added. IMHO, HP should have requested a BIOS upgrade for their 2nd gen Sandy Bridge Pegatron-based HP motherboards. Obviously, that didn't happen, since their only update is actually dated 10/2011 (see above).It doesn't seem unreasonable to me for HP to drop an request to Pegatron, a *current* motherboard supplier for HP, to cut an upgrade to support the HP motherboards derived fom the retail motherboards Pegatron already have upgraded circa 3 months after the release of the HP (Pegatron) "Chicago" motherboard, which looks AMAZINGLY like the ASRock (Pegatron retail) H67DE3 with the dual graphics support removed (standard for HP), SATA 4 & 5 moved to board edge, and HP proprietary frontpanel connector added in the original place for the H67DE3 SATA 4 & 5 <grin>. Probably a couple minutes with the right BIOS tools and updated microcode from Intel (which I also have!), to support all Chicago-based systems. I'm hoping that maybe a HP Support rep can chime in on this, or someone can tell me where to find tools to recompile to add the SAFUWIN-compatible checksums to a modded BIOS? -Imsai8080 P.S. If it wasn't for the code checksums and the nonstandard SAFUWIN flash programmer, I would already have added the Ivy Bridge microcode myself. Gave it a try, no go so far, but I might keep trying. 

  • [Z68MA-G45 (B3)] Gaming Rig - Overclocking and UEFI/BIOS Setup access

    hey guys i just had a new game rig.

    INTEL CORE i5 2500k
    Cooler Master silent pro modular 80plus 1000w

    Cooler Master 690 II advance ( USB 3.0 version )
    G. Skill Ripjaws 1600 (4x2) 8gb
    EVGA GTX 580 SC
    just wondering how can i overclock my CPU w/ this rig coz i cant see any threads regarding this mobo, also i cant open up the BIOS of my system i have a windows 7 64 bit ultimate. hoping for some good advise.  

    Recommend to do all the bench tests at the original auto/stock/default settings, then you have something to compare later results with. In Reply #10, I have given some basic pointers at which to start. Soon as CPU V. is taken out of auto, you will lose any power saving advantages at low use & idle. Another quick & dirty way to do it is to set the CPU V. at the industry recommended maximum of 1.400v's, & start to increase the CPU Ratio up one step at a time until it fails to boot the OS. Keep in mind, load overshoot will usually spike the VCore past the 1.400v's at times in varying amounts. For gaming, OC'ing RAM is a wasted effort. After extensive testing, it made almost zero change in gaming performance on it's own.

    There is a lot of information in this thread that may be of use. This is basically one of the alternative ways to OC;

  • P67A-GD55 (B3) bios update to Ivy Bridge, question regarding PCIe-3

    Hi,
    Ive just updated my P67A-GD55 (B3) to the 4.0 BIOS for Ivy Bridge and I am a little confused as to whether of not I will be able to benfit from PCIe-3 support on a Ivy Bridge CPU?
    I intend to run 2 x GTX 680 in SLI, will I still be limited to PCIe-2 of can my board now take advantage of PCI-e 3?
    Many thanks in advance.

    For PCI-E 3.0, a Z68 G3 series mainboard with an Ivy CPU would be needed at the minimum. So far, you are not really missing anything anyway. PCI-E 3.0 doesn't seem to be reported as providing all that much of a performance benefit with current apps, programs, and games.
    Having tested GTX 680 on the P67, I must say it is in itself running PCI-E 2.0 very impressive.

  • P67A-GD55 (B3) bios update to Ivy Bridge, vDroop

    Hi again,
    Carrying out the BIOS update to 4.1 seems to have fixed the double booting issue I used to have with Win7 64 bit.
    I am currently running Sandy Bridge i5 2500K and the system runs fine, however I seem to have lost vDroop control, no vDroop setting seems to make a difference (from auto all the way up to +100). With 1.35v set in bios ends up being 1.295v under 100% load as reported in MSI control centre, 1.37V = 1.305. As a result my CPU OC has been reduced from 4.7 to 4.2 stable. Is this something that may be corrected in future releases or is my board now only supported in an Ivy Bridge configuration?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Quote from: TRYAN on 14-August-12, 07:23:50
    Having this same issue.  Is it safe to increase the BIOS voltage setting beyond what you intend to hit the proper voltage?  IE  setting 1.45 so that you get 1.40.   I am a little uneasy with doing that, but what is the alternative?
    1.400v's is the recommended everyday limit for CPU V., so the best way to know what the actual voltage is being delivered, a digital mulrimeter is a must.

  • Bios update from Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge

    hello i wish to put a core i7 3632qm in my hp pavilion g6-1262sa but upon doing so the unit will not post so i been doing a bit of digging to find out that i need a new bios to support the core i7 3632qm

    Hi,
    Your current Intel HM65 chipset motherboard supports maximum upto i7 2620M processor, listed in the manual (Page 23).
    Intel's sixth-generation mobile chipsets do not officially support Ivy Bridge processors. Ivy brigde processors need HM7X chipsets generally. In this model, Manual clearly lists the compatible processors. So I can't suggest anything else too.

    Smacks of a driver problem to me.  Maybe for the on board video controller. It's gotta be a driver or problems with the on board graphics.  As long as you're OK with DOS, it's a breeze. I'll give MSI support a chance to resolve this.. then I RMA this evil beast.
    Test with only a RAM stick in the blue primary dimm slot. I would suspect a 300W PSU as possibly not providing enough system power. If you have a 'spinner' HDD to test with, I would recommend to try with one of those too. In the future, use the forum's USB Flashing Tool. Safest flashing method on the planet.

  • Ivy Bridge CPU 4 short beeps then Power down

    Hi I just got a I7 3770 and when trying to get the board to post it beeps 4 times (short).
    I was wondering what the beeps are telling me.
    I am using a Z68 MA G45 (B3) board and back in February I asked about a compatible bios and was sent a link to a beta bios that should work.
    So I took the risk to try it as I can always get another board if needed as I am building a cheap pc for a family member using the Pentium G620 that I was using till the Ivy Bridge was available.
    Hoping I don't need to buy a new board as the 7 series are a little more expensive here. But the extra features will be worth in the long run.
    I have asked MSI online support to confirm if the bios is ok but as they are not there till Wednesday as they had 2 days off I wont know for sure till tomorrow.
    I thought I'd try anyway as I got impatient.
    Thanks for any help.
    Kevin

    I put the Pentium G620 back in and it would not stay on and no beeps at all.
    Then I swapped the I7 back in and still the 4 beeps.
    So I took a break and decided after an hour searching the web for help I would try the Pentium one more time.
    And this time it worked ok and brought up the bios message that said there was a CPU/memory change and to press a key to go into the bios to reset the info.
    So as it's late here (Melbourne Australia) I left the pc alone after switching the power off and will continue tomorrow.
    So tomorrow I should know if the bios I have is compatible with the Ivy Bridge and if not I will get a 7 series board.
    I just have to return the cheap board I brought and will get a credit towards another board.
    Pity about the bios but that's technology for you.

  • P67A-G45 (B3) - i7-3770K BIOS compatibility

    Hi there,
    I'm about to be given a P67A-G45 (B3) by a friend, I'm looking to buy an i7-3770K. I've no idea what version of the BIOS is going to be installed as it may not have been updated.
    Am I likely to run into issues if it's the stock BIOS? Will I need to update somehow?
    Thanks for your help in advance,
    Dan

    If the current bios doesn't support Ivy Bridge the board won't even post if you put a 3770K in there. No bios out of the box supports Ivy Bridge so without it having been updated you are out of luck. You need a Sandy Bridge cpu to do it yourself or ask a PC-shop to do it for you.

  • Restore Ivy Bridge to Sandy Bridge MSI Z68A-GD55 G3

    I've tested all the kernels > 3.15.8  but they seem to create the error above. My questions are
    Was there a change in the linux kernel options from 3.15.8?
    Am I using / missing a module that I shouldn't / should be using for my cpu?

    Hi acothi,
    I was getting the same error message for months. Linux kernel 3.16.3-1 finally fixed it for me. My system: Intel Ivy-Bridge i5-3570K CPU + Intel DH77DF Mobo with latest BIOS (dated 2013). Please update to latest kernel in [Core] and report back. However, I don't think that your SD card slot issues are directly related to this error message. I also recommend installing linux-lts kernel and adding a bootloader entry, so you can still be productive, even if the latest Linux kernel doesn't fix it for you.
    Afaik, this error has nothing to do with kernel options, but was introduced by a usual kernel commit (and seems to be fixed upstream).
    Cheers,
    Tolga

  • W530 and Ivy Bridge refresh processors?

    Does anyone know when Lenovo will start shipping with the new Ivy Bridge processors that were released in Sept. '12? I'm planning to get a new W530 and was about to buy one with the i7-3920XM but for roughly the same price, I'd rather have the i7-3940XM.
    Thanks for any replies!

    On paper, the new processor should offer a 3 percent advantage over the Core i7-3920XM.
