  1. Think the latest MSI bios has killed both my boards. Not sure yet. Gd55 had issues with men timings on 174 bios. Couldn't change them. Updated to 185 bios. I can't change the speed. Then all weekend I've had issues trying to get the damn thing to boot. Tried everything. Thought I just over cooked the board so I JUST bought the gd65, applied 185 bios and I have the same issues again! Really peeeeed off man. Tried everything. I bought this today in hope I can run some 3d at 2000 cl6 instead of 1333 mem and get better scores. What a waste. Spent 4hrs trying to post both boards! When it finally does, I'll change one setting, it'll shut down to post after, but nothing. Another 30mins wasted trying to post again...

     

    Tried 4 sets of memory, 3 different CPUs.. No idea! Even clearing CMOS doesn't do anything to post it.

     

    I had issues with my STT hypers on all the P67 motherboards. After flashing them, they work now. Other than that, I quickly tried 2133 with the 185 bios and couldn't boot. Trying 1866 worked, but i didn't try much.

  2. That error message is a pain lol. Picking up a GD65 tomorrow and seeing if I get the same as the GD55.

     

    I get that same error message with the GD65 trying to boot with 53x. Haven't tried cold, but don't think it's going to help much and too lazy to prep the mb for same results i get with water.

  3. Damn, I'll try another CPU this week and see what happens. Hate/love relationship with Sandy is starting to lean toward hate more and more :/

     

    I think i have to agree with this. With so many failed attempts at trying to get a good 2600k, I think i'm about ready to say good bye to Sandy.

     

    I've tried the P8P67, TP67XE, and now I'm on the GD-65. I've tried two 2500k and one 2600k. Both chips on the Biostar have been terrible. Surprisingly, the 2600k that wouldn't run on the biostar passed 5ghz, can do 5.3ghz on the GD-65.

     

    I was also using the read points on the GD-65. Setting the vcore to 1.5v in bios, shows 1.488v in windows, and 1.588v on my DMM.
