Testing MSI X79A-GD65 (8D)

[Massman]

I'm pretty happy about the BIOS too. Just plugged in CPU and memory, set 1.25 ratio, set memory freq and all boots just fine. Nice!

Posting this as reference here too ... looking good

really looks good

 

how much IO did you set?

[Massman]

Quite low. Chip only needs ~ 1.12V VTT and 1.12V VCCSA.

[Olesius]

you are so lucky!

 

our chip needs 1.15v IO for 2133mhz freq on Xpower II

and some times in hard boot get failed (01-02 code on debug)

162 bclk, and 2600 c10 32m stable is awesome.

hi there! i have the same motherboard what do you mean by disabling pll override? did you mean the Internal PLL Overvoltage? i can't see the pll override in my bios, the only override i saw was the CPU Override Voltage and it is set to 0.
