Can a Z97 Gaming 7 motherboard do 0 rpm fans on its BIOS fan curve ?

Z97 Gaming 7
Can the CPU and case fan curves be set as low as 0 rpm ?
I have 0rpm mode PSU & graphics cards.  The dual tower cooler is enough at idle for the CPU.  It would be great to turn the system on without any fans turning on at all until needed.

Nope, 0% is not possible. Even with aftermarket fan controllers, user's manual states that disabling the fan (0%) is possible but at user's responsibility.
Thanks for the reply.
1)
What is the lowest % you can go?
2)
Where on the board is the motherboard temp sensor?
3)
The manual (page 3-29)  shows a graph of deg C 0-100 and RPM 0 - 7000.  However on the right your markers are displayed as temp/fan % .  My guess is you set the 4 fan markers from the percentages on the right and the 0-7000rpm Y axis scale is purely for the readout of the current fan speed and not related to the markers.  Is this correct?

  • Msi z97 gaming motherboard displays debug led D0 (00) .

    Hello all.
    I urgently need some advice.
     I recently bought a msi z97 gaming 5 motherboard and I had it installed into my rig.  Everything was working fine. I decided to do some cable management in my case today and afterwards wanted to switch my pc on to find it dead. I switched off the power and made sure that I discharged all electrostatic power.
    The psu delivers power to the board as all the case fans spin, the light trail lights up an my fan controller works.
    My peripherals (key board,  mouse) don't   light, as well as my monitor. There is ia also no boot beeps.
    The debug led displays a code 00 which is  not in the manual. I already tried removing the cmos batery  and also cleared the cmos with the cmos jumper en still nothing.
    I even removed both my ram modules and still no boot beeps.
    If there is someone out there please help... 

    i got the same issue by chance few days ago 00 error but with dual bios chip board.
    and able to fix it,
    i narrow it down that somehow the bios chip selection wasn't switched ..
    even after power off, and flip the switch i meet 00 error and no LED on bios chip has light
    switching to the secondary bios chip worked fine,
    then when i flip the bios chip while the system was booted, switching was successfully,
    and at next power off and power up was booting with the other bios chip fine and no longer 00 error
    however for your board, i see board has 1 bios chip only
    im not sure if would have bios chip led indicator or not..
    checking high res image of your board at: https://media.msi.com/main.php?g2_itemId=110010&g2_imageViewsIndex=1
    think i can see the led indicator side by side to JBAT1
    so your board probably also should have bios chip led indicator
    and based on your second photo that you provided: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=253991.0;attach=22345;image
    i don't see this LED to light... it should be near to 00 debug code
    so probably bios chip doesn't kick in for some reason...
    and i don't know how this can be fixed since your board don't have dual bios chips..
    looks like something become damaged when you tried to re-arrange your cables..
    else don't have idea what else you can try, except to rma the board

    You could try your device 1 by 1 and see which one of it is causing the A2 issue
    about this i already suggested the same:
    Quote from: Svet on 23-April-15, 21:42:28
    connected them one by one, and see which is causing this hang eventually
    he said any one of them alone is caused this A2 when its connected:
    Quote from: sebastianmancipe on 23-April-15, 21:49:10
    Already perform this test with any 3 devices, SSD, HDD or DVD's the same.
    Curiously hangs on A2 code when first turned not when restarted.
    Quote from: sebastianmancipe on 24-April-15, 04:12:03
    ¿this version of BIOS where it came from? It is official? because they have not posted on the official website of the Z97 Gaming 7? as had understood the latest BIOS for this motherboard is the 1.90
    its official, but beta bios and newer than your current.
    try all other things 1st that people suggested you, leave bios flashing as last option

  • GTX 770 SLI on Z97-GD65 GAMING motherboard

    Hi,
    I'm planning to buy a Z97-GD65 GAMING motherboard, I'm thinking of getting 2 GTX 770 and SLI bridge them. I see in the motherboard specs that it supports SLI however the compatibility for VGA ( h -t -t- p://www.msi.com/support/mb/Z97GD65_GAMING.html#support-cpu ) under numbers shows 1 for GTX 770 . Does this mean i can only use one card, will i not be able to SLI bridge it ? If this board does not support 2 770s then can you suggest one that will ?
    Thanks,
    Yuva

    Guess i will research more on 780ti, thanks a lot this was helpful  . Would there be any difference in performance if i use a ZOTAC GPU instead of a MSI on a MSI motherboard   

  • Can I control 3-pin fan with MSI Z97 gaming 5?

    Hello, I want to know if I can control 3-pin fan plug into 4-pin header with MSI z97 gaming 5 mobo
    Thanks
    PS: Sorry my poor english

    I own an MSI Z87-GD65, im assuming your Z97gaming5 is similar, mine can control 4pin PWM fans on the CPU_FAN1 and CPU_FAN2 headers, and can control 3pin fans on SYS_FAN 1,2,3, all of this on bios fan control (i dont like nor use the Control center).  The limitations of my bios is that on 4pin fans on CPU_FAN1 i can go to 12.5% pwm (as long as the fan can reach this low), while on the 3pin con SYS_FAN i can only drop them down to 50% (thats if you fan can start at that voltage, had one that needed 60%), the fan can be ran at a steady % = rpms or can be dynamically ramp up with the CPU temp, thats also selected on the bios.
    Here is a run that i did last weekend on a Silverstone AP182 connected on SYS_FAN3 on pure bios, you can see there the different % and rpms, and in the bottom you can see prime95 run where it did ramp the fans with the cpu temp.

  • MOVED: How to use 3tb hhd on Z97 gaming 3 motherboard

    This topic has been moved to GAMING Motherboards.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=249337.0

    Hi Philip,
    It’s also a win7 limitation, UEFI GPT supports much higher than 2T
    As the MBR only locates a HD for a maximum range of 2T, the maximum partition and the starting position of last partition should be less than 2T.
    For example, a 4T HD (3.7 available usually), you can divide it as
    1.9 + 1.8T or 1T+0.8T+1.9T.
    It is NG to do 1.3 + 1.2 + 1.2 , because the position of last part begins from
    2.5 T.
    For your consideration

  • Z97 GAMING 9 AC - PCIE and the wi-fi module no longer detecting

    Hi,
    I 'm Overclocking enthusiast and recently decided to take to my hometown in Brazil using a platform products from MSI, to make disclosure of benchmark tests in social networks and in gaming blogs.
        So i purchased a new system including the MSI Z97 GAMING 9 AC motherboard and MSI Gaming N770 TF 4GD5/OC GeForce GTX 770 4GB graphics card. After building the system I initially had problems with the graphics card not being detected and the wi-fi module (that hard to fit in the mobo) don't even appear in device manager. I already tried to dismount and remount the module on the motherboard with extreme care, no success. After some research I updated the bios to 1.5 and used the onboard graphics card to install windows 8.1, drivers etc. After windows, drivers etc were installed the graphics card and the wi-fi module still would not detect.
    I have tried another graphics card in this system and it does not seem to work either. In bios it just always says that the PCIE slots are 'empty'.
    So I have tried the following:
    1. Cleared CMOS.
    2. Updated BIOS.
    3. Updated Chipset, drivers etc.
    4. Tested the Graphics Card in other computers.
    5. Used a different graphics card in this system.
    6. Tried PCIE 2.0, 3.0 and auto.
    7. Completely reformated and started from scratch.
    So after many attempts I am disappointed with MSI and need some solution to my problem, since I saw that several customers who have purchased from MSI are the same product with exactly the same problem which possibly conclude that MSI has a duty to resolve these cases.
    Full Specs:
    •   EVGA SuperNOVA 1300G2 ATX12V/EPS12V 1300W 80Plus Gold Power Supply 120-G2-1300-XR
    •   Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100i Liquid CPU Cooler - Extreme Performance CPU Cooling and Built-In
    •   Intel Core i7 4790 LGA1150 CPU 3.6Ghz
    •   Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB 2x8GB DDR3
    •   2 x Kingston 120GB SSD 6Gbs
    •   Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit OEM
    •   MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC Motherboard
    •   MSI Gaming N770 TF 4GD5/OC GeForce GTX 770 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

    I have the exact same problem with my gaming 9 AC only the PCIe slot for gfx card worked initially. MSI support sent me a new WiFi adapter, it also didnt work. When I installed it, the PCIe slot would not identify my graphics card anymore. MSI support then advised me to return the board to the reseller, where it is now - they are checking it for defects before they do anything.
    Ill keep you updated how they proceed from here. If there are any more problems I will just ask my reseller to downgrade me to a gaming 7, I can add a pcie wifi card on my own, and avoid the hassle.

  • Msi z97 gaming 5 bios update help

    Hello I recently purchased the msi z97 gaming 5 motherboard. It was working fine it came with bios version 1.0 and I wanted to update it. I downloaded the latest 1.5 bios from msi website copied to usb flash drive and flashed it using mflash. Computer powers on but black screen wont do nothing. I cleared cmos and battery and still nothing so I am pretty sure its bricked. I am going to store to exchange it for another one but I want to be able to safely update the bios without bricking again. I usually dont update bios unless needed but i need at least 1.2 bios to fully support the devils canyon cpu. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I read about the usb flashing tool in forum but also read that bios+me need to be flashed and I don't know if that program is up to date and will flash both files? I really appreciate it if someone helped thanks in advance.

    Also does anyone know if it is dangerous to update the bios with a 4690k devils canyon cpu since it is not officially supported until 1.2? Is that why my first bios flash was bricked? I would hate to go and borrow another cpu just to update the bios but if I have to I will. Sorry for all the questions but I need to get my bios updated and I will not update it until I am sure of all these things. Thanks to anyone who answers these questions.

  • Update Z97 Gaming 5 BIOS

    Hi,
    I recently have acquired this motherboard and come with BIOS v1.0 (build date: 08/2014)
    My system specs are:
    i5 4690k
    msi z97 gaming 5
    ATI radeon hd5750
    HyperX Savage 16gb ram 1600Mhz
    SSD 850 EVO 250Gb
    HDD Samsung 750Gb
    sometime the system is unstable (mainly when I'm downloading a file at max Mbs the CPU goes to 100%) so I'm think to update bios to the last version 1.9
    I see the like referred MSI Forum HQ USB flashing tool. My first question is: Is this procedure different  than the normal procedure using M-Flash?
    I see that I can update BIOS on the site in this way:
    1) Download last BIOS (7917v19.zip)
    2) Put it on removable drive (with FAT32)
    3) Restart PC going On the MSI Click BIOS 4
    4) Load the downloaded BIOS using M-Flash utilities
    Are there some steps that I missing? Is this procedure safe if I have all PC assembled with all piece (CPU, RAM, HDD, etc.)?
    Best Regards
    Vincenzo

    Hi,
    I've to download BIOS 1.0 form MSI site or Save it form BIOS in order to have exactly the previous?
    I think the one from the site should be fine, won't do any harm to save the one you have either.
    Quote from: sorrentinov
    If something goes wrong is possible to reload the old Bios?
    This depends on how wrong it went.
    Quote from: sorrentinov
    Moreover I have to disconnect something or can I flash with all PC assembled?
    You can never be too safe, but you should be good with everything connected as long there is no OC, CPU or RAM.
    Some BIOS instructions requite that the flash drive is recognized as removable, see instruction on MSI site.
    Quote from: sorrentinov
    The better way to update bios is using m-flash?
    Some may say the forum tool is safer, I myself don't believe in magic, IMO they are equally unsafe, a spike in electricity and you may end with a brick.
    Quote from: flobelix on 03-May-15, 23:00:24
    If wanting to update to bios 1.9 there is no single need to download bios 1.0.
    None at all?

    The Crew - Launch Trailer
    PC configuration:
    CPU: Intel i5-4670K

    The MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard box
    Overview of the motherboard: Black and Red color scheme, it’s also the favorite color combination from MSI’s user reservation.
    The PCI-E slots and bandwidth are enough for a two-way SLI setting.
    Killer Ethernet, outstanding performance on internet access, especially reduce the lag issue.

    With MSI Gaming series motherboard plus graphics card, you can enable a Gaming App to overclock CPU and GPU. There are 3 modes to choose.
    6-month free trail of the XSplit game caster software, free bundled with MSI gaming motherboard and graphics card
    Done with assembling, quiet nice color combination and clean cable arrangement.
    An overview of the very gaming look system.
    Some benchmark results before racing with The Crew.
    CPU and GPU info on CPU-Z and GPU-Z applications:
    3DMark Fire Strike score: 6441
    3DMark Fire Strike Extreme score: 3384
    3DMark Fire Strike Ultra score:1262
    The excel performance proof the brand new 960 graphics card comes with good a high Cost/Performance Value.
    Now, check out this test benchmark score of the renowned game “The Crew”.
    The game presents an ultra-quality display, 60 Frames Per Second (FPS)
    FPS: Average frames is at:
    Frames: 3859 - Time: 76828ms - Avg: 50.229 - Min: 43 - Max: 56
    The comments of the game for your reference:
    There are many types of missions that can be chosen from the America’s map.
    Street racing, high-speed collision, breakaway from police, sky jumps, zigzagging, etc… make the game quite dynamic.
    Now, when it comes to multi-player matches, the performance has exceeded expectations. Perhaps, it is the killer Ethernet that’s working the magic. Thus, this game is highly recommended if you have the right rig.
    The downside is that the display intricacy is not as refined as GTA V and in addition, the game FPS is limited at 60 FPS. However, the overall gaming flow and performance is better than good.
    The user's comment for using MSI Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card:
    (The following commends are translated from user’s article, does not represent the viewpoint of MSI) ^^
    Recently, MSI GTX 960 just launched so the initial price tag is still adjustable.
    According to the current product line, it seems like this GPU is going to replace 750Ti. So once all the stocks (750Ti) at the store empties, we are most likely to see a price drop on GTX960.
    Once the price hits the sweet spot, it’s time to try out GTX960 SLI’s performance.
    The CP value on MSI GTX960 and GAMING 5 MB is pretty high. But the XSplit software that comes with the product is a bit annoying since the authentication steps are divided into 2 parts to go through for using it.     
    Enough said, anyways, GAME ON!

    NVIDIA 960 card  + GAMING 5 motherboard = best bundle for budget gaming!
    it would be nice to see more testing of hardware-demanding games!

  • MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC Not picking up GTX 560 Card

    Just upgraded my PC to a Z97 Gaming 9 AC Board along with a i7 4790k and a Corsair 750RM Power supply + Coolermaster Stryker Case. I completed the build up last night and when I switched it on, it would not actually pick up my GTX 560 card at all, and when I went to the BIOS and checked the plugged in feature, it shows the PCIe slot is empty, but my GPU is plugged in, also tried all the PCIe slots, and there is nothing in Device Manager, just the Intel HD 4600.
    What I Tried:
    Set it to PEG, still nothing
    Updated the BIOS to latest version
    Tried the GPU in diff PC and it worked.
    Tried a diff power supply in my new PC and still same thing, not picking it up.
    So I don't know what to do anymore, also did a fresh install of windows 8.1.
    Any help would be appreciated thanks.

  • New Z97 Gaming AC board and MSI gtx780

    All,
    Been banging my head against the wall all night on this. Hopefully its something easy. Got my new rig assembled:
    I5 4670k
    MSI Z97-Gaming 9 AC LGA 1150 Intel Z97
    MSI Gaming N780 TF 3GD5/OC GeForce GTX 780 3GB
    Have a M.2 intel SSD installed
    Windows 8.1 64 installed no issues
    For the life of me, I can not get the motherboard to detect the 780, I updated to the latest bios using the USB flash utility, no issues. Completed successfully.
    Using the Board viewer it shows nothing in the PCIE slot, I have also tried SLOT 2 still no luck.
    The MB still does not show anything inserted into the slot.
    Any suggestions would greatly appreciated...
    Thanks in advance

    Well, wish I had good news, but not so much. With everything setup on a test bench the board wont even post with a card plugged into the PCIE slot. Remove the card post, and into the bios every time. Tried clearing CMOS, all 3 PCIE slots just a no go.
    RMA is issued and it will be going back  tomorrow.
    *Fingers crossed on the new board*
    Thanks for all the suggestions, will let you know what happens when the new board arrives.
    Cheers

  • MSI GTX980 Gaming sometimes not recognized by MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC

    I have been experiencing a very odd problem with my new hardware.
    Hardware
    Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC
    CPU: Intel Core i7-4790
    CPU-cooler: Scythe Mugen 4
    RAM: G.Skill RipjawsZ F3-17000CL9Q-16GBZH
    Videocard: MSI GeForce GTX 980 4GB GAMING 4G
    PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold
    SSD: Crucial M550 2,5" 1TB
    Monitor#1: LG 34UM95-P
    Monitor #2: Eizo Foris FG2421
    OS: Windows 7 Professional
    Issue description
    The thing is that with 2 monitors connected the videocard is not recognized on a cold boot, but boots perfectly most of the time after a restart. In some cases a restart doesn't do the trick. I have even seen a couple of times that the monitor shows that windows starts and then the monitor loses the signal from the videocard before I can see the desktop (rare). With just 1 monitor attached the videocard is recognized. Als the IGP works fine, it's just the videocard that doesn't seem to be recognized when 2 monitors are connected (all combinations of DP, HDMI and DVI). When the computer has booted after one or more restarts and the videocard is recognized the computer works flawlessly, no problems whatever I do with it (desktop work, stressing hardware, playing games, etc.). Not a single sign of instability.
    It's just the cold boot and sometimes the soft boot or restart that causes the videocard to not being recognized with 2 monitors connected.
    What makes it really weird to me is that when the computer goes into sleep mode I can wake it up normally within say 10 minutes. But if I wait for let's say an hour the videocard is not transmitting a signal through the videocard.
    When IGP is enabled the computer boots and windows loads normally (I hear the sound of the Windows login), although the monitors stay black when connected to the videocard. Then switching the connectors from the videocard to the motherboard shows me a normal Windows login screen, but the videocard is not visible in the device list. When the IGP is disabled to bootup sequence just hangs until a restart works and the computer boots normally with the videocard getting recognized and working properly.
    Click sounds
    I noticed the motherboard makes 4 click sounds when booting, like relays flipping. I think it has to to with distributing power to al the components, since it looks like components respond to the click by turning led lights on. But I have to say I've never come across a motherboard before that makes click sounds. Is this normal?
    Tried fixes
    - Replaced the RAM with 100% working RAM from my other computer (Corsair Vengeance LP CML8GX3M2A1600C9) -> problem persists
    - Disabed XMP -> problem persists
    - Replaced the PSU with another one (Cooler Master V550 Semi-Modular) -> problem persists
    - Reinstalled the videocard physically -> problem persists
    - Tried several combinations of connecting the 2 monitors to the videocard (all DP ports, HDMI and DVI) -> problem persists
    - Replaced the videocard with a MSI GTX970 Gaming (connected with 1xDP and 1xHDMI) -> problem persists
    Conclusions so far
    The cause can be found in the videocard or motherboard (probably BIOS issue).
    Who can shed some light on this issue?

    Quote from: JLio01 on 14-November-14, 17:02:39
    Try all PCIE slots no luck? Does the black screen always happen on one certain monitor or both?
    I tried both the first and the second PCIe slot. No difference except for the fact that in the second slot the card only works at x8 bandwidth.
    Quote from: jotan.va on 24-November-14, 18:05:51
    BTW - Did anybody try to remove the wifi module from the board and then test?
    I didn't install the wifi module in the first place.
    UPDATE
    I returned the motherboard to the webshop I bought it from and sent my cpu, ram, psu and videocard (GTX980) with it so they could test it. They found out that the videocard is the problem. So now I have to send the videocard to the webshop it bought that from. However, I am suspecting that it's just a VBIOS problem and not some fault in the hardware itself. On the other hand, it would be very strange that MSI would release a videocard that cannot work with one of their own top motherboards, wouldn't it?
