Updated: 08/05/07 - MSI P965 Neo-F Latest Official and BETA BIOS!

Dear All,
I've got an info from one of MSI Engineers for the DDR 800MHz RAMs support for MSI P965 Neo-F mainboard.
There'll be a BIOS v1.40 that enables the mainboard to support 1GB DDR 800MHz modules.
Another upcoming BIOS v1.50 will fixed the 2GB limitation on the board, allowing the board to run up to 4GB of DDR 800MHz RAMs.
I'll update this thread on any upcoming details that I can get.
I can't confirm when the BIOS will be officially released so please kindly have the patience to wait.
Best Regards,
Joe Chow.

Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt - Newer BIOS?

Hi,
Might be a dumb question, but can someone tell me which is a newer BIOS?
I'm using this beta BIOS:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=166102.0
However, a newer BIOS by date appeared on the support site, but seems to be lower by version (but not beta).
http://us.msi.com/product/mb/Z77A-G45-Thunderbolt.html#/?div=BIOS
Which BIOS is newer/should I be using?

from msi web is the latest one

MSI Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt - UNBOXED!!!

Intel’s Thunderbolt Technology is seen usually in high-end motherboard models. But today MSI just released a more budget friendly Z77 motherboard with this feature in it.
The “Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt” boasts features like Military Class III Components for quality and stability, OC Genie II which automatically boost your computer performance in seconds, Click BIOS II for easier and friendlier to use UEFI BIOS, THX TruStudio PRO which delivers the best audio experience, supports Nvidia SLI and AMD Crossefire multi-graphic configurations and lastly Thunderbolt which delivers 10/GBps of data and display transfers – in each direction, at the same time – using a single cable to connect devices in a daisy chain.
Military Class III Components are seen around the CPU socket. These are the SFC and Solid Capacitors
The layout of the board is pretty the same as any MSI Z77 SKU models they have to offer. VRM heatsinks comes with flat heatpipe for better heat dissipation and a larger heatsink for the south.
Three PCIEx16 slots for multi-graphic card configurations. Single video card can run @ Gen3 x16 while if you are about to use two it will be @ Gen3 x8 x8 and lastly for three, it will be Gen3 x8 x4 x4.
All of the ports are handled by the Intel chipset. Starting from the left, you have USB 3.0 then 4x SATA 3GB/s in black and in white are 2x SATA 6GB/s.
The rear I/O Ports are pretty standard but with the additional of the Thunderbolt port which is located beneath the VGA port. The board also have SPDIF/Coaxial Ports for Digital Audio Output.
Then you have the bundles in the package.

Quote from: Bernhard on 29-October-12, 15:10:10
Is there any testing report that will follow to show us what was achieved with this board ? i.e. your practical tests on using Thunderbolt vs USB3 ?
Such a pity there is no PCI slot.
Or a DVI connection.

Urgent need of assistance, MSI Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt Unknown problems

Recently I have built my first computer, a desktop with the MSI Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt motherboard, an Intel core I5 CPU and a NVIDIA Ge-Force GTX 650 TI Video Card, and a 850W PSU (way more than what is needed). The computer worked perfectly fine for about a week, I did not initially order a Disc Drive because I figured I could install windows with a flash drive (which apparently does not work) so I installed ubuntu for a while (irrelevant to the problem) I ordered the Disc Drive and when it came in I plugged it in and the computer would not turn on, so I spent a while trying to figure out why it did not turn on when the day before it worked fine, eventually after basically disconnecting almost everything and putting it back together it worked. But it had no signal to the monitor. I have no means of telling if it is a UEFI/BIOS problem, a video card problem, or a CPU problem. All 4 LED's for the CPU phase are constantly on, when before when the computer worked fine it would only have the first phase LED blink, so I believe it might possibly be a CPU problem, though the video card is what controls the output for monitors so it equally could be the problem. For the motherboard I tried just about everything to reset it, everything, except flashing the BIOS (which I don't want to try unless it is the only solution left) I tried to clear the CMOS, took the BIOS battery out and put it back in again. Please help!

I do not yet have access to another desktop in which to put my graphics card. I just tried reseating everything and still no signal to the monitor. The VGA port on my motherboard does not work, it never has for some reason, I did not get intel integrated graphics with my CPU, I am not sure if that is why the VGA does not work.

Need help troubleshooting resets - Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt

PSU: OCZ OCZ600MXSP
Primary Drive: Corsair Force Series GT 90GB (6Gb/s) SSD (CSSD-F90GBGT-BK)
OS: Windows 8
Running stock, board is otherwise very stable (memtest and prime95 passed).
About half the time, this board resets resuming from S3 sleep. I'm at a loss as to why. So far I've replaced the memory, switched PCIe slots, reflashed BIOS, set MB defaults, over/under volted CPU and Memory, and switched memory slots. In my current test, I've pulled the graphics card and am now running on the integrated GPU.
My questions are:
- if this holds, how do I determine if it's the card or the draw on the PSU (no other to test) from the card
- anything else I should try before I purchase 2x the components (as I have already done for the memory)?
Thanks!

Cyclical Reboot After Sleep - Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt

Often times my computer will restart 3-4 times after resuming from S3 sleep. It is very stable otherwise (passed memtest and prime95). While recent, This is not my first build, but have not seen this particular issue before.
Was hoping for some suggestions on where to start troubleshooting. I am running stock and nearly all default settings in BIOS. I assume this is a memory or possibly a CPU voltage issue, but not looking to re-invent the wheel if someone can point me in the right direction.

Oh, I read it, trust me. This did not explain why it was rebooting when coming out of S3 sleep.
Unfortunately, it did not help -- I had another reset this morning. Going to mess with C1E and Intel C-States next to see if that eliminates it.

Z77A-GD80 Thunderbolt (7757) & Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt (7752) & Windows 8 issue

While running Windows 8 with either one of the motherboards, if you have an unknown "Base System Device" in your device manager, you will need to change a BIOS option (figure 1).
VEN_8086&DEV_1548
- Z77A-GD80 Thunderbolt (7757)
- Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt (7752)
Go into the BIOS > Settings > Advanced > Intel® Thunderbolt > Security Level > Set to "Normal Mode w/o NHI". Save and exit the BIOS. When you reboot, the unknown device will be gone (figure 2).
This is Intel issue, however there will be no impact in regards to usability, features, performance, or stability.
FAQ Link:
http://service.msicomputer.com/html/popup/TechSup/formviewer.asp?esoformid=3036

It can also be that Intel Smart Connect is now enabled by default if you flash the bios. So if you flash you bios and notice this, with the z77a-gd80, that could be it as well.

Observation about Z87-G45 Gaming 1.8B1 BETA BIOS

Can the technicality behind this:
Quote from: myself
The 1.8B1 BETA BIOS the CPU clock will more frequently steadily hit 3.85GHz. Comparable to BIOS 1.7 where the CPU feature 'enhanced turbo boost' setting set to enabled instead of auto previously was required to do that.
In explanation of: with the official BIOS 1.7 I assumed it couldn't hit 3.85GHz if enhanced turbo was on auto because it was preserving wasted heat energy by restricting the clock to below 3.68GHz. With BIOS 1.7 the CPU unsteadily hit 3.85GHz on 'balanced power policy' if on 'high performance power policy' the CPU only made it to 3.67GHz steadily.
be explained?
Also is the: '02. Fix Intel (R) Rapid Start Technology function fail.' noted on the past two BIOS a problem where the computer resumes from sleep?
I created a troubleshooting thread about that on the Intel community forums because my computer frequently, immediately resumes from sleep mode when the feature is first put into practice instead of maintaining the low power mode.

The enhanced turbo function should have no effect on CPU maximum speed. What it does it places all of the cores in lock step. By default only a single core would increase with turbo while enhanced turbo increases all of their multiplier to the same multiplier when turbo is activated.

MSI Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt display

Hi ,
I have 2 thunderbolt displays and want to connect them to PC which i dont buy yet. I decided to buy motherboard MSI 7z77a-g45 thunderbolt and processor with integrated video. So i planned to connect 1 monitor to other and from other to MSI motherboard. Will it works ? Or what i should to do?

The MSI link to your board states: Quote
At 10 Gbps, Thunderbolt™ technology delivers great responsiveness with data and display transfers—in each direction, at the same time—using a single cable to connect devices in a daisy chain.
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z77AG45_Thunderbolt.html
So yes, MSI states that the display transfer is possible.
If you wish to confirm if your specific displays will work, then submit a question here to MSI http://us.msi.com/service/PreSaleForm/

Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt - Disk read error

Hi, I'm having a lot of trouble with Disk Read Errors and at times, the motherboard not recognising my SSD is even there and giving me media not present errors. These don't come up every time but I'd say they come up 95% of the time. The other 5% of the time the motherboard boots into Windows 8 normally. Which leads me to think that it might be a connection or interfacing error of some sort.
My SSD (SDSSDX-240G-G25) is plugged into port 1 or port 2 (errors on both ports on that controller). On port 3 and 4 I have a Blu-Ray drive and a 3TB hard drive. On 5 and 6 I have a 3TB and a 1TB hard drive.
The connections are all secure. My BIOS is up to date (think it's version 40 off the top of my head, but it's as up to date as it was on Tuesday this week). I have tried reformatting and reinstalling Windows but get the same errors. In fact, the motherboard is now recognising the SSD less and less and often in the BIOS it won't see it at all.
Because it's booting up sometimes I feel like it isn't a failed drive but maybe it's a failed controller on the motherboard? What options can I try to fix it without taking the whole computer apart and sending the motherboard and SSD back?
Also, all the disks are set to GPT. Motherboard BIOS won't boot when I set it to UEFI so it's set to UEFI + Legacy and booting to the SSD first.
Thanks,
Ed

try new SATA cables as these tend to fail.

(Z77A-G45) HELP! Computer shut down while working and... never boot up again

Assembled the other day but...today it was working fine. Sudenly shut down and never boot up again.

Any thoughts?
Thanks

Voltage at 24 pin and 8 pin connectors are ok and under the tolerance as I saw here http://pcsupport.about.com/od/insidethepc/a/power-supply-voltage-tolerance.htm
I will check the other rails.
Hmmm... starting to suspect that the cause is something else.
Missed the beeps in the past.
This mobo (z77a-g45) never emitted a single one.
Not even at startup when it was ok!
Oh man!
The computer was running well and then suddenly screen went black, no disks activity, no keyboard response, no video, no reset switch working. Fans continue spinning.
Had to pull the plug to stop the fans. Then plug it again but no boot. Just cpu phase led 1 is lit, fans activity and nothing more. No welcome screen, no disks activity!
I will try to test the ram on another computer.
Any other clues?

Help with OCing my MSI Z77a-G45 gaming with i7 2600k

Hi there its been awhile since ive done OC since my old intel e8400 and everything looks different now..i just recently bought a brand new Msi Z77a-G45 gaming MB and i7 2600k for good deal and would like to push my limits on this setup
Currently setup:
intel i7-2600k
8gb ddr3-1600 gskill ripjaw X Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
MSI Z77a-G45 gaming motherboard
Antec Hcg-750 PSU
Evga gtx670 single card
my old rig Corsair H50 for now waiting on my custom built water cooling
i know i tried using the OC genie to test out their OC setting which gave me 4.2ghz with 1.336vcore and friend told me thats kind of high for a 4.2ghz?
any help will be good step by step. my goal for now is to reach like 4.4-4.5ghz until i get a better cooling system

Alrighty, appreciate the info; gonna back down to 4.4Ghz as I can maintain stability with 1.275 vcore in bios = 1.26 in windows = 1.24 under load resulting in hottest core never exceeding 70...was really hoping for 4.7-5.0Ghz overclock when most everyone who reviewed this chip in the early days was claiming such great overclocks with such low voltage. But I'll chalk that up to either misinformation or non stability checked overclocks, I guess I'm old school; cause if it can't hold up to a minimum 24hr pass of Prime 95 small fft's it isn't stable in my book. Might consider delidding it in a year or so once the new wears off, I had my i7 920 for about that long before I lapped it into a mirror shine lol. So based on my new information 3770k's on average overclock between 4.4-4.6Ghz and can require up to 1.4 vcore and higher past 4.6Ghz which is where you start to really become thermally limited on liquid as the Ivy Bridge's 22nm technology puts the cores to closely together in combination with intel's cheap ass thermal compound solution. Maximum recommended voltage for 24/7 shouldn't exceed 1.4 vcore without some kick ass cooling or a combination of delidded processor and kick ass cooling cause ideally you want your cores mid 70's and below...that about sum it all up?

865 beta bios with raid 1

you will have to wait for joshin who i gave 875 bios to to put it on his server
but there should be a link here soon thanks to him
afraid i know nothing else re whats fixed in it
just resoponding to those who moaned in the beta 875 thread

I do like to thanks the programming team of this Bios .
I have noticed from the first minute , after installing it , all the necessary voltage corrections , that this Bios includes , and I totally agree with them .
At my board with 533 Bus based CPU chip , and by working as suggested at the turbo mode , the AGP bus it is locked . ( In the 3Dmark 2003 ,got lower by a little marks) .
I would suggest , one also voltage correction on the CPU core voltage , like setting it at 1.58 or 1.60 by default , any way this is not a critical issue , as the CPU it is forgiving in the voltage hovering , but the rest sub system is not .
As bug report , I have to say that the clock generator , in the Slow setting , clocks the CPU even higher than the 1.3 and 1.4 Ver bios , from 135.5 the new forced bus is like 138 Mhz .
But if the setting Turbo is set , as the team suggests , everything is normal , like 135.5 Mhz .
With locked AGP , and the rest fixes .
In my system after of many hours testing , I found that this Bios works fantastic , and there is Zero instability issues . :D
I do not know if this is the right place to report this , but I have one small issue , with the on board NIC , my report haves nothing to do with this Bios release .
So , here is the story , in my setup I have connected the NIC with one Compex switching Hub , when I power down my system , the NIC it does not power down completely , and the result is that the Led Port indicator on the Hub, indicates that the computer is On , or that the connection is active .
To be honest , the NIC it does power down , but one second later , after the total system shut down procedure, the NIC power up it self , indicating 100Mbits connection ..
The on board NIC Led indicator becomes active, and accordingly my Switching Hub , indicates a live connection at 100 Mbits .
Is this normal ?? I guess, is not . ?(
Is there any tip that I should know , if there is not one , I would like to add this in my wish list , of what it would be nice to be included in the next official or Beta Bios update .
