this is normal? i don't think so...

This is my setting, thanks for any help !!

VDrop is not uncommon when under load. When doing a 'raw' OC, the settings you have for the Core Ratios doesn't make any sense. Turbo should be turned off. EuP 2013 should be disabled. Have you already tried a Turbo enabled OC with CPU V. set to Auto and just setting the Core Ratios all to 45? CPU Ratio would then be set to Auto as well.

Thanks for your help HU16E

I have test also Turbo and EuP Disabled, but i have no change.

now i try with your advice

With this setting i have only fake boot...the motherboard won't start up..
this bios version is bugged?

Report your findings to MSI technical so that they can attend to it and hopefully fix it in a future BIOS. >>How to contact MSI.<<

[fiox]

Yes, i report it to msi.
For now, downgrade of bios is recommended?

Just for information

V10.0 - V10.3 - have same issue of V10.5

AFAIK, it's really an issue of Z77 boards, no real Vdroop control, even worse, if Vdroop is set on non 100%/Auto, the Droop will be more massive. Hope it's just a BIOS issue, not the hardware one.

A friend has tested the gd65 with a meter, and according to him there is vdroop

Yes, that's all i've been saying. Have you tried to change the Vdroop Offset Control in BIOS? how if it set into 100%? in GD55 the Vdroop is still tremendous even set at 100%, how's about GD65?

[fiox]

vdroop offset need to be set to 0%

[hansip87]

vdroop offset need to be set to 0%

This just in, MSI support center said that Vdroop can't be improved further, it's hardware limitation on Z77 series. So if you can cope with it, then stay but me, i'm going to move to other board, quite dissapointed with GD55 version. If only i saved more for that GD65 maybe i won't be regretting my purchase this much..

I will be building a gd80 on Monday or tues... I will test and seeif the same thing happens.
