understood    but i don't have to play with this trick.
could it be an isolated case of urs only?

that video was from hwb. and my unit also encounter the same thing. i believe the newer BIOS fixed that issue already.
good thing.

thanks for clarification.

One last thing. The current BIOSes have this annoying issue that whenever the board doesn't like any of your settings, be it temperature, bclk, voltage or anything else, it'll lock itself in x12 CPU ratio. I tested this board with ln2 and anything below +15°C caused the x12 ratio trigger. The workaround is rather easy though:

1) go in bios
2) set all the ratios/voltages/frequencies you want to run at
3) check if temperature is above 15°C
4) save and exit
5) the board will now do a hard reboot (shutdown and power up)
6) go back in the bios
7) drop temperature
8) exit without saving the settings
9) boot in os

As long as you don't have the board shut down (by changing a bios setting or hard crash), the x12 bug will not occur. Once you do have a hard crash, you're royally screwed though!

think so coz i flashed to Bios 1.3 right at the first boot. So this board GD65 is currently holding the WR for SB-E @ 5.8GHz under SS.



Just that MSI bios engineers need to work harder to improve their bios. The latest bios is have 12X ratio bug unsolved yet although there's a workaround for it.
SOS

even gd45 has this.
it cant go below 0c. if the CPU temp (built in) go below 0C, no way u can make it into windows.
too much volt also will trigger the x12.

good thing is there is no more hard reboot if you change multi in GD45 in latest BIOS.
GD65 still got hard reboot thing?

sry to ask it here..besides the mobo block from koolance or ek..is there any other product?..ek one looks ugly..

my bad..sryy..btw out of curiosity..

what factor could make ur processor lifespan decrease?

is it heat or the voltage being supply to it?i mean 2011 by right should withstand better than the normal sb-E? since nowdays i often do video rendering and setting up my proc to 5ghz @1.48 ..kinda worried about  the lifespan of the processor..

second is my x79 temp is at 41-43c on 5ghz full load..is it safe? currently just blowing the heat sink..
