3. Open msahci
4. In the right field left click on "start" and go to Modify
5. In the value Data field enter "0" and click "ok"
6. exit "Regedit"
7. Reboot Rig and enter BIOS (hold "Delete" key while Booting)
In your BIOS select "Integrated Peripherals" and OnChip PATA/SATA Devices. Now change SATA Mode to AHCI from IDE.
You now boot into windows 7, the OS will recognize AHCI and install the devices. Now the system needs one more reboot and voilla .. enjoy the improved SSD performance.
Yesterday my shiny new p67a-gd65 arrived, yay! I decided against the Asus line of boards and so far I'm pretty happy, it has a nice and sturdy feel to it. Efi is nice to have also. Only negative thing that is noteworthy is that on 1.45vcc (dmm) the VRM heat sinks get a liiiittle to warm for my taste.
Oh and if MSI guys are listening, you really NEED to fix the voltage regulation for vcc. High/low vdroop doesn't matter. My dmm shows the same rise on both settings, 0.05+v. Way above what is set and well above what is shown to the user via board measurements. Not everyone has a dmm so that really needs to be fixed.
Any news on a new bios?
Thats wierd mine are < 0.01vQuote:

What bios is on your board? Mine is 1.8
Also are you checking with you DMM grounded to the correct grounding point. Alot of people think ground is ground, and you can reference it from anywhere, not exactly true.
I'm running 1.9, does it matter? I heard the later BIOSes have better readouts. :shrug:Quote:

I dont know which bios is better. I have 0 problems with 1.8 (besides the vgain but I guess I can't see it as being a problem) so I'm reluctant to upgrade my bios:DQuote:

Perhaps try it to see if you get different results?
Rechecked it. Choice of ground point is irrelevant, with both it shows the same readings. I guess they just supplied two gnd so that you can hook up two dmms.
The board seems to supply voltage depending on load, the higher the load the higher vcc rises. -_-;;
Edit: Are there any recommendable 2x4gb 2133 kits for sandy around?!
Ok, good to know about the gnd point.Quote:

Is that what you talking about? idle to load voltage? I thought you were saying that the DMM measured voltage was different from what CPUz reports.
I keep hearing about the G.Skill RipjawsXQuote:

No, what I'm saying is this. I have EIST, Turbo, c-states, all power saving off and am oc'ing via a set voltage on a set multiplier. So what I'm setting in EFI should be the voltage the CPU receives. Which is wrong here, I'm setting 1.41 and am getting 1.46+ on load which is the same on both LLC settings. And that is just wrong imo. Even idle is higher than the set voltage. vDDR is also overvolting by .01, only vtt always seems to be .005 below the setting (given the readings of all the other voltages one could say it's right on the spot here). :shrug:Quote:

The UK guys, where did you buy your CPU/Motherboards from??
Tom.
Not UK, but I got my MB from scan.co.uk
New bios, same voltage problem.
Maybe they regard it as feature?
I hope not.Quote:

Another bios....

What about idle freezes..any luck with that yet?.... I cannot set anything in bios that will eliminate the random idle freezes....not even a bsod, just a freeze with no error messages! :mad:Quote:

Try this, flash to new bios, turn off your PSU, reset bios with the switch on the back, go into bios, press F6 to load optimized defaults, go into bios and set your settings, save and exit. I fixed my idle bsod by raising my cpu and cpu/io voltage, try 1.17 cpu/io voltage.Quote:

Just a quick question. What kind of ram should i get for this board. Some 1600Mhz?? I don't need ram with 1.5V? 1.65V is also ok. Not going to oc to much. Thinking about getting a 2500K, oc it to about 4,5max on air. Not sure on the Gpu yet. It's a little build for my kid, so nothing extreme.:D
