i5 3570k
16Gb (4x4) Corsair vengeance 1600Mhz CL9

i can't make RAM working faster than default-1333.
i read lot of forums, where ppl able to do changes from 1333 to 1600. but i can not.
problem nr2.
it was only AUTO in timing (few month ago i was able to change numbers. i did nothing with bios, it just became AUTO by itself)
my i5 was working @ 0Mhz !!!
fixed by downgrading bios
i'm wondering... should be number like here?
is anybody can help me? how to make RAM working @1600 and more?
will be nice to receive step-by-step guide (better in pictures)
thank you
ps. sorry for not super English

Remove and re-seat all of the components outside of the case on a non-conductive surface. While the cpu is removed, inspect the cpu socket for any bent or mis aligned pins.
Perform a full cmos clear and re-test with only a single stick of ram in DIMM 2, cpu, cooler and psu.
...now my pc is in non stop restart... lol. all i wanted its only make ram 1600.
done. i switched off oc genie and change settings in "standrd" mode. all 4 sticks of ram are working together.
thank you for help.

I attempted to update the BIOS to rev A8 (previous version was A6) using M-Flash.
The update failed and the board no longer boots from BIOS A
Switching to BIOS B lets the board boot properly.
How can I repair the A BIOS ?

Disabling the live/multi update in the z77a-gd65 bios

I see a lot of stuff saying to use the board's bios app to update the bios. BUT I see nothing about disabling the bios update in the bios utility of the mb's bios.
How to disable the auto-"update". It happened again today where turning the power on, the screen goes blank, reboots showing multi-bios updating & not to turn the power off. The problem this is the 2nd time & the bios "update" is from my 10.5 to 10.3B4; so is there a difference & is 10.3B4 really the "latest" bios version....From the reading I've seen so far, is that one needed to have the bios on a fat/fat32 drive which I don't have as a hard drive; I do have fat32 flash drives which weren't even plugged in when the bios got changed!
What happened? The bios update wasn't within windows as the boot process never got that far.

1: your computer could have downloaded last time it was on a BIOS update via live update if installed and flashe 1 chip but not the other and the board was trying to flash the 2nd with the same bios on the other chip!
2: could be you have had a corupted BIOS chip and the board was trying to flash the bios from the other chip to the defective one!
is your computer working fine now?
do you have live update on your computer? (if its working remove live update as its got a 50/50 chance of corrupting your bios if it messes it up)
ps: do a CMOS clear >>Clear CMOS Guide<<

Possible to update Z77A GD65 bios with latest intel raid rom?

I was wondering how difficult it is to update the bios myself with the new intel beta rom?

Try this one. It's based on the e7751ims.a43 with the following updated components:
1. intel me firmware 8.0.10.1464 (stock: 8.0.3.1427)
2. intel raid orom 11.1.0.1413 (stock: 11.0.0.1339)
3. sandy bridge microcode 0x28 (stock: 0x25)
4. ivy birdge microcode 0x12 (stock: 0x10)
I've NOT tested it because I don't have z77 motherboard but it should work fine. However I'll not be held responsible about any direct or indirect damages to (but not limited to) your board resulting from flashing and/or using this bios. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!

MSI z77a-gd65 BIOS flashing issues

I just got my new MSI 970 and when i tried to install it i got the same error as this guy: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=183602.0
I do the USB flashing steps posted in the thread and i get an error "There is a problem with the GbE binary which prevents saving the data" and then it says update complete and nothing has changed.
I looked around a bit and found this thread https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=183673.0 in which there was a similar problem that was solved by removing the "-savemac" option. This is where i am stuck at the moment as i cant find a file in the USB where a "-savemac" option is used, what should i do now?

Quote from: jesper.artling on 07-February-15, 00:52:23
I think thats what i've been doing though, i can see two different boot selections with the USB, one with [UEFI]"USBname" and one without. I''ve been using the one without.
oki, that's correct
make usb key by following this guide:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0
then try to boot from the USB key
if you still can't boot try with different memory stick
if you able to boot then go back to windows and prepare the stick with usb tool and proceed with update

Z77A-GD65 primary bios corruped and can't restore it!!

Hi guys, last weekend was happened a very strange thing ... i used my pc with MSI mb Z77A-GD65 regulary Saturday and power off without any problem,
Yesterday i power on my PC and doesn't work, MB starts with coolers but no P.O.S.T sound error and only black screen, i try to reset bios .. nothing, i switch to secondary bios and immediatly works!
Then pc runs fine.
So I re-flash the primary bios and the procedure ends without no problem, i re-switch to primary bios and again not works like the beginning ... i try other re-flash to primary bios but same story!
So finaly Pc works only if i switch to secondary bios, primary bios not work though i re-flashed bios .......what's up? is primary bios flash eprom damage... without any apparent problem?
All of 2 bios primary and secondary have the lasted MSi Z77A-GD65 Bios ver. 10.8

Hi, did you try flashing with M-flash Multibios flash tool under Bios?
If it doesn't work with 10.8 you need to downgrade it to 10.5 using MSI HQ USB BIOS Flash Tool, dont use the M-flash when downgrading Bios.
Then after you have 10.5 Bios use the Multibios option under your Bios, and it should work fine.
Hi, thanks for reply, i try every version of bios, i try to flash by Multibios flash tool under Bios, and by standard procudure, boot with 2nd bios with bootdisk,, than switch to primary bios and flash under dos..no way !!, primary bios don't want to boot up!
What is strange is every time i try to update primary bios with M-flash Multibios flash tool and by dos command, only secondary bios updated not the primary one!!... its seems that primary bios flash memory no longer exists .. i think that primary bios flash memory has been damaged for incomprehensible fact ...

Z77A-GD65 Intermittent Power Up Issue

Ever since I've had this board, it's been problomatic getting it to start at times. Most of the time it starts just fine, other times the fans just barely spin and it fails to start. Repeatedly pressing the start button usually gets it going after maybe a dozen rapid pressings (think Morse Code).
I've tried jumping the pins on the header on the board, no difference. I've tried pressing the power button on the board, no difference.
Sometimes, however, repeatedly pressing the power button does not get it to start. These times I have to disconnect the power cord and wait for the power button on the board to go out, usually takes 30 seconds or so for the board to totally discharge. Now it will power up right away, I have the BIOS set to power up after a power loss.
Of course I've tried the usual things like one stick of RAM only in Slot 2, different sticks of RAM, only one GPU, no GPU, check for shorts to the case, properly seated CPU, etc. But as it is an intermittent issue, it'll seem fine for a while then go right back to not starting, then start right up the next time without any issues. It will always start with a CLEAR CMOS, but that is not a very handy method of booting the computer.
The system is very stable after it is running, which leads me to think the individual components are not faulty. It never has any problem establishing a restart, only a cold boot. The HEX readout is always A0 when it's running, it's never had any problem booting up after it establishes power.

What is the ME version in bios?
If you remove the OC does the problem go away?
I'm at work right now, not sure about the ME version. Can you elaborate what that is?
OC has no effect, it's been doing this since long before I even attempted to OC anything. It's a fairly random issue. I could, for example, take the OC out and maybe it'd boot issue free for a number of tries, I'd think the issue was resolved. Then, without changing anything, it'll go back to doing it. I had this happen when I read that RAM slot 2 was determined to be the primary slot. I loaded one stick of RAM into slot 2 and got several clean starts. I was convinced I had resolved the issue, only to have it fail on the next attempt.
One thing, time appears to be an issue. I can play around with it in the evening, make multiple cold boots no problem. Then it won't start up in the morning. Or maybe it will start up in the morning, but not at lunch. Or not in the evening. But if it's just a couple or a few minutes, it'll start. And restart.

Z77A-GD65 USB3 port with Seagate Freeagent go desk issues

I have a Z77A-GD65 motherboard, with an intel i5 Ivy Bridge 3570k processor. Kingwin LZP-550 PSU and have attached via USB3 (using a USB3 cable of course) a seagate Free Agent Go Desk 2TB external hard drive.
On my old system the drive when the system is on, is running just spins down when its not in use.. power light stays on for the drive all the time. That was also a USB3 system, just another USB3 chipset.
On this motherboard, sometimes the drive when the system is powered up doesn't turn on and I have to unplug the USB cable and replug it in, after that the drive power LED comes on and spins up.
Any reason why this motherboard is acting like this? The drive should come on with the system like it did on my old system.
Anything I can do to fix this or change the USB ports behavior? It's almost like its not telling the device it's on.

Attached is the latest beta bios for your board.(MSI recommended this)
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
MSI tried to duplicate the problem but couldn't does this testing procedue seem right to you?
1.   Install System driver and reset
2.   Connect USB HDD to USB 3.0 port. The device can be recognized.
3.   Reboot the system
4.   Check Computer and still can find the USB HDD
5.   Power off the system
6.   Power on and check Computer.

I installed that BIOS and still have the issue, one easy way to reporduce this is to power up the system into windows 7 x64, sleep the computer in (sleep mode in bios is set to S3) when you wake it, the USB3 drives are offline

SOLUTION for my problems with MSI Z77A-GD65 + MSI N670 PE 2GD5/OC

Lately I had problems with my GTX 670 video card (MSI N670 PE 2GD5/OC) under Windows 7 Pro x64.
I got a lot of "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" errors.
I had these errors once or twice a day, so I didn't really bother looking for an answer, also I couldn't reproduce the error.
Most games just worked fine, but not always... so I tried if I could reproduce the error.
I tried to stress test with MSI Kombustor and voila no windows error... noo... but the core voltage went to 0 mV within a minute and everything (screen / windows / kombustor) stuttered and I had to restart the system.
The strange thing was that the voltage went to 0 mV, but the GPU load went from 96% - 60% and back to 96%... why and how is this possible??
Now I could reproduce my problem... yes!
First I thought it was a driver problem, because I updated it to the newest version (310.70), so I tried to re-install an older driver and also the original MSI driver... no luck.
Maybe it could be a mainboard driver or some settings in windows, so I installed Windows 8... no luck.
Re-installed Windows 7 Pro x64 (basically because Windows 8 s*cks)... no luck.
I tried to put my video card in another system and there was no problem... so I thought my video card is not broken...
Maybe it's my my power supply... new power supply... no luck again... grrrr...
My solution was downgrading / flashing my mainboard (MSI Z77A-GD65) bios back to 1.5 instead of 1.7, because yes... live update had updated my bios... that was the problem.
I wanted to post this, because I couldn't really find the answer for my problem and maybe I can help a few people with the same configuration and problems.
Live well and... well you get the idea

Don't use TF II/TF III parts as they won't fit. Arctic Accelero Twin Turbo II or Accelero Mono PLUS are good value for money aftermarket solutions.
Thank you for the information and advice. As I was looking into those two, I noticed that Accelero's website claimed the Accelero Xtreme III would also fit, and NewEgg had it on sale, so that is what I wound up purchasing. It works quite well and is MUCH quieter than the Twin Frozr IV, even before the grinding noise started.
For anyone else considering this, please be aware that the Xtreme III is monstrously huge (it adds several inches to the length of the MSI N670 PE). Make sure you have plenty of room in your case for it.

Z77A-GD65 SDD drive and RAID5

Hi,
First sorry for my english, I'm a poor french guy
For start my system :
Board: Z77A-GD65
Bios: Version X.X
VGA: Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS
PSU: Corsair HX - 620W
INTEL i7-3770k 3.5ghz - 8mo cache - turboboost - graphic hd 4000 - socket lga1155 bx80637i73770k

HDD: SSD SAMSUNG 840 PRO - SATA III - 128 Go - MZ-7PD128BW
COOLER: Noctua NH-U12P SE2
OS: Windows 7 64bit Professional
In addition to that I have three Western Digital Caviar Green S-ATA - 1000 Go - 64 Mo in order to create RAID5 array. But here is trouble, let me explain.
My system work fine with BIOS SATA option in AHCI mode but if I set RAID mode (to create my RAID5 array) then I don't know what to do... SSD drive installed with AHCI didn't work with RAID mode, so I tried to reinstall windows with RAID mode but installation stops in the middle (just after reboot).
Do you have a solution for me?
Thanks a lot.

Use the top one, the latter is for certain Intel boards I believe although I am not sure. Perhaps M for mobile? I dunno.
The latest Raid drivers can be found here:

Might want to also update the SSD firmware while your are doing all this:

Z77A-GD65 Spiking through the Speaker

Hi All,
I've recently built a new system using the above noted motherboard.
Everything is fine with one exception, just before the login screen in Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, a single spike is emitted through the speakers. I tried updating to the latest HD audio driver, but this seems to have made it worse. A spike is also emitted when exiting windows.
Any help on what could be causing this would be much appreciated.
Many thanks

Hi
Sorry about the lack of info, I was hoping it was a generic fault - easily fixed!
Case: Corsair Graphite 600T (Silver Edition)
Board: MSI Z77A-GD65
Bios: E7751IMS v10.0

OS: Windows 7 64bit Ultimate
Audio: Onboard Sound
Monitor: Philips Brilliance P-line 241P3LYES x2
LAN: Ethernet Cable to Home Network (Installed 2 years ago with no issues)
So far I've only tried updating the HD Audio drivers, which seemed to make matters worse. I've checked all components are seated properly and that all wire connections are good.
I did have a problem when booting, an error was reported "No device found" After the statement "Using Gen 2" - even after I'd set BIOS to use Gen 3. After a quick search online I found that the external Sata 6G should be disabled. Once done the error was cleared.
All other BIOS settings are pretty much the default.
As before, any help would be much appreciated. Please let me know if you need further info.

Z77A-GD65 Error 55

Hello!
I am new to this forum since I haven't had an MSI mainboard before.
So I bought this pc this xmas and it has been working fine, since today...
I was using it as normal and was gonna try the Super Charger program to charge my iPad. Activated it and powered off my pc. Tried to see if it would charge my iPhone while it was powered off and then I turned the pc back on again. This time it started for a short moment and then shut down again as if I made some change to the bios settings. And after that it was stuck in an infinite loop of rebooting.
I was looking at the debugging console and noticed the Error 55.
Tried with only 1 ram installed in every slot also two at a time in 1-3 and 1-4 slots.
But no luck. The pc won't boot and I don't get a POST screen.
Also tried without any ram installed at all, then I get another error, 20 or 22 something.
Tried resetting CMOS and using the secondary bios thing on my motherboard, but nothing works.
Is the mainboard broken?
Really appreciate some help!
Thank you!

No bent pins on the cpu. Tried all the mem's individually in dimm2 but no go :/
So could the conclusion be a faulty mainboard?
Called the computer store I bought it from today and explained it to them, so they want me to send the whole computer so they can see what the problem might be :<
Did you check the cpu or Socket? You would want to check the pins in the socket with a bright light and magnfying glass.

Z77A GD65 - Samsung Green Memory Issue

Hi all,
I have just built my new Ivy Bridge Machine:
MSI Z77A GD65 (BIOS V10.5)
i5 3570K
16GB Samsung Green Memory DDR3 PC3-12800 30nm (4x4GB)
There has been a lot of forum chatter regarding the Samsung Green memory and its incredible overclocking potential. Unfortunately the MSI Z77A GD65 fails to POST at anything above the default 1600MHz. I have tried different RAM timings and increasing the voltage to 1.65V, but nothing got my system to POST.
After doing some forum digging I discovered I am not alone, with other GD65 users having exactly the same problem.
As a result this feels like a BIOS issue with V10.5. Can anyone help?
Cheers,
Matt.

Quote from: Bernhard on 25-May-12, 16:34:48
To OC that RAM higher than 1600 makes virtually no difference to your real performance but adds a lot of potential instabilities. CPU OC yields the real performance gains.
With a Sandy Bridge CPU... I would agree with you.
This is most definitely not the case with Ivy! There are noticeable real-world improvements - if there weren't, I wouldn't be so fussed.
Gigabyte have recognised the similar (same) issue they're suffering with Z77 boards... it's now been a month since anyone replied to me on this issue.
Asus/ASRock do not have this issue - so it's not related to Z77 or the RAM.

Z77A-GD65 network and audio bugs

I'm having a few weird issues with my setup.
first off its a Z77A-GD65 bios v10.7
i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz, 4201 Mhz with noctua NH-D14
Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (CMZ16GX3M2A1600C10) win says that there is only 3.9g available, and that its only running at 800 mhz
Samsung 840 Pro Series 2.5-Inch 128 SATA 6.0 gb/s ssd
WD Black Desktop 1TB SATA 6.0 GB/s 7200 RPM
win 8
first issue just appeared out of nowhere a week after I finally got it running. There is a network error every time I start the system, if I restart it goes away.
I"m having audio problems, the speakers in my monitor work with the hdmi cable, but I am unable to use my good speakers, when I plug them into the back panel line out, there is no audio from any port, or the hdmi cable.
I've also noticed a device without a driver error

win8 is a 32b version, it was a 39.95 upgrade directly from microsoft... safe to assume that the 64b version is worth the extra $?
have the board in a brand new case using 9 stand offs, all with screws through the board and into them.
The NIC is onboard, all the drivers are up to date except the audio, I'm downloading an updated driver for it (released 1/25/13)
left the machine turned on when I went to bed, when I got up the power led was blinking, and I had to press the power button to wake the machine. this web page was open, but there was no network available, same error as above, I had to restart windows to get online.
Edit: the updated driver fixed the audio problem
