So the bios didnt fix the idling bsod 124 error ?

You can fix the idling bsod by increasing the vcore slightly - Mine's set at 1.32 in bios, idles at 1600mhz at 1.29v and under load is 1.34. Not had a freeze or lock up since doing this, but at 1.30vcore in bios had bsods and lock ups.

Hi, can anyone please tell me if you can put the RAM in Dimm slots 2 and 4 ?
The reason i ask is because i have this board and i'm worried that my CPU cooler will not clear the RAM.
Here is what i have

Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge)
MSI P67A-GD65 Intel P67 (Socket 1155)
G.Skill RipJawX 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C7 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
Cooler Master V6GT CPU Cooler

Can any one advise ? as i might have to get a different CPU cooler

What coolers did you guys go with on this board ?

I have my ram in slots 2 and 4 because i couldn't get it in slot 1 without having to take the cooler back off and i couldn't be bothered works fine for me.

Thats strange how yours only goes up so little while @ load...

If i set my vcore to 1.330 in bios on prime or anyother stability test my load can go up to 1.35 / 1.36vcore. :confused:

Odd how yours goes up so little

Possibly would only go that high if you were at 1.32vcore?

what lol? Well i thought that if i was @ 1.330 in bios then the load would be 1.34 odd but its not it just goes up at like 1.35 or 1.36.

martynpd · 26 Jan 2011 at 03:07

im thinking about getting one of these. im not sure the asus p8 pro sounds tempting i might wait see if the bios issues settle

Is there are way to lower your vcore in the bios when idling at 1600mhz? I set it at 1.32 in the bios for my 4600mhz overclock but when speedtep enables, the vcore still stays the same.

Later bioses lower the vcore at lower mhz

Just ordered this board, looking forward to it getting here and having a play!

I've just downloaded the latest one off the msi website but I can't do it.

gooseuk · 31 Jan 2011 at 15:34

After i cancelled my order a few weeks ago. I did a bit more research and got this with an i5k.

Put it all togther this morning and boots up right away.

Take some pictures when i get back and once the case is tidy lol.

Where did you guys find v1.7 of the BIOS? I can only find v1.6 on the MSI web sites.

robj20 · 31 Jan 2011 at 17:11

1.7 right here.

Thanks, got it now. It's odd that it doesn't show up going in via downloads then selecting the mobo.

Are the only differences between this and the c45 the Xfire and sli compatibilty?? Any help would be great

DEVIL W0LF · 5 Feb 2011 at 23:50

Just a quick question guys, i have this Motherboard and should i update my BIOS ?

When i finish my build i was just going to use the version that came on the disk
I did read some where that with BIOS if it's not broke don't fix it.
Is that true ?

1.35v 5.05Ghz LinX stable and Intelburn with improved timing on memory and abit higher Freq!

bro306 that's hell of a memory bandwidth o/c and temps you have there.

What cooling are you using?

What is the exact part no. for the RAM?
