CPU phase control by default after wake up (Z97 Gaming 3)

Hello,
I've juste bought a MSI Z97 Gaming 3 to replace my MSI Z87-G45.
I want to inform you that when CPU phase control is set to "optimized", this setting is restored to default mode after waking up.
I made many tests to confirm this :
- with optimized before sleep and wake up, my IDLE consumption is 37W
- with optimized after sleep and wake up, my IDLE consumption is 42W
- with default setting, my IDLE consumption is always 42W
Changing Windows energy settings didn't fix this issue. Changing wake up settings in the BIOS didn't correct this issue.
Could you fix it in your next BIOS ?
Moreover, I didn't get what it exactly came from but my system crashed few times. It seems that it is a problem with fast RAM boot setting.
Thanks

P67A-GD55: "Adjust CPU Ratio" disables "CPU Phase Control"

I'm using P67A-GD55 (BIOS ver.1.7) and i5-2500K.
I changed "Adjust CPU Ratio" and I found "CPU Phase Control" was disabled automatically.
1. Click "Green Power" and set "CPU Phase Control" to "APS Mode".
2. Click "OC" and set "Adjust CPU Ratio" to "33"
(It's a default value, but please click the number "33").
3. Click "Green Power" and check "CPU Phase Control".
It is changed to "Disabled".
Please keep "CPU Phase Control = APS Mode".

> MSI employees rarely come here and post even more rarely.
Thanks for the info.
I had another account and I reported a BIOS bug a few years ago.
MSI fixed it soon.
I remember that, so I bought the MSI mainboard.
I hope this post would help other P67A-GD55 users and the MSI developers.
Note for users:
MSI will upload the latest BIOS to the Taiwanese site first.

CPU Phase Control

My cpu phase control led lights no longer works. None of them are on, even when I load the default settings. The question is it just the lights or the whole phase control? Did I turn these on/off accidentally? I just bought this board on Dec. 26th from NCIX but it is a revision 1 board. I think I read somewhere rev. 1 boards seemed to have the phase control problems but not sure if this is true or not. Please advise on a solution or solutions to try before I RMA this board. Also can you let me know the differences between rev. 1 and revision 1.1?

Please unplug your PSU from A/C power and >>Clear CMOS<<. Then load "Optimized Defaults" in BIOS Setup and check your APS Settings.
Also, please tell us your current BIOS Version. >>Posting Guide<<

Usually only minor changes, that are generally not documented anywhere. So no, I have no idea what the exact differences are. Sometimes it is just a different type/brand of capacitor that will make them changes the revision ID (which on the other hand does not mean that there was any problem with the original layout -> so, rest assured, the fact that you do not have a revision 1.1 board does definately not mean that the revision you have was found to be "faulty" in any way).

What is CPU Phase control?

In my P67A-C45 green power menu the first option entry is CPU Phase Control and there are two option: what is difference from APS and Intel SVID Mode?
Thanks in advance!

CPU Phase Control refers to the load-dependent automatic CPU PWM Phase switching logic (the number of phases used varies with CPU load). APS is the board's control logic and Intel SVID is the CPU's own control logic for this kind of phase control. Use whatever works best for you.

Green Power CPU Phase Control + C-STATE + Turbo Boost ?

Does anyone know if we can turn on MSI's Green Power CPU Phase Control + Intel C-STATE + Intel Turbo Boost in BIOS all at the same time? Any problems with doing this? Does MSI's Green Power CPU Phase Control override or conflict with Intel's C-STATE? And will Turbo Boost kick in if turned on when a core needs it even if Green Power CPU Phase Control and C-STATE are switched on?
I really like the idea of the PC running cool and quiet when doing lite work, but would like full power on demand as well.
Thanks.

I'm using Intel speedstep (EIST) but i disabled c-state because this brings a unstable PC for me.
I'm using also the greenpower genie and it works very well.
When i don't need the power my PC falls back to 50% 2154MHz (this you can choose in the energy configuration of windows), when i play games or decode movies it goes up to 100% 4130MHz. And it is stable as a rock tested 24/7 prime 95 and OCCT and Intel burn test.
My settings are=
Eist enabled
Turbo enabled
C-state disabled
Greenpower auto
My CPU temp in idle is 24° cores 38° and this on aire (room temp 21°-22°) Load 100%=CPU 60 and cores 70°-72° ( prime stressing), gaming CPU 42°-45°.
For more info on my sys. follow link and see my overclock and voltage settings.http://www.hardware.info/nl-NL/usersys/cm9xZ51mk2yd/view/
I also changed cpu skew and ioh skew to 200ps so i don't get BSOD that says :cpu did not receive clock on time , but this is only necessary when i go above 178 MHz BCKL.

K8N Neo-FSR CPU fan at full throttle after wake up from S3 (Suspend to RAM)

Hi,
using either Core Center or BIOS' smart cpu fan control my cpu fan throttles down to less than 2000 RPM without system load. Fine! But after wake up from S3 (Suspend to RAM) power down the cpu fan runs forever at full throttle with about >5000 RPM, making lots of noise. So far I didn't succeed neither with BIOS settings nor using Core Center to gain fan control after S3 wake up. Since Core Center apparently shows up the cpu temperature correctly with less than 40 degrees Celsius this may be a BIOS 1.4 bug.
Can someone please point me into the right direction? Yep, I did read the FAQ and already use board's search function :-)
Falo

addendum
did some further testing. Apparently this doesn't happen if I wait at least a couple of minutes between shutdown to S3 and wake up. In this case fan control works as expected afterwards.

Cannot control iTunes volume after wake up

I have an external Altec Lansing sound system on my Mac Pro late 2013. It has always worked perfectly well… until I upgraded to Yosemite that is. It is still working perfectly well till I put the Mac Pro to sleep.
After wake up, I cannot control the volume anymore. The usual keyboard commands will modify the slider but this have no effect whatsoever on the volume level.
If I restart the Mac Pro, everything works perfectly well again.
What about this?
Thanks for taking the time :-D

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.

MSI 870A-G54 (FX) CPU Core control unlock setting error

Hello,
My motherboard MSI 870A-G54 (FX) has strange issue: CPU Core unlock option is not working properly. I've switched in BIOS Cell Menu the setting "CPU Core Control" - Enabled, and after the restart, there is error message about RAM chek - till 3325 MB instead 16 GB, and after that windows7 Ultimate x64 tries to load, but unfortunately displays the Blue Screen of Death. After disabling CPU Core Control option windows start normaly. Also after using MSI LiveUpdate5 and installing BIOS Code unlock Technology 1.0.106, I got the following message: Error Message
PC Hardware details:
CPU - TripleCore AMD Phenom II X3 Black Edition 720, 2800 MHz (14 x 200), Codename:Heka, Core Stepping: RB-C2
16GB (4x4GB) Kingston KVR1333D3N9/4G
VGA Sapphire Radeon HD 4830, Codename: RV770
Windows 7 Ultimate x64, SP1
BIOS V17.18
I'll be glad to have some of your ideas how to handle it...

I also have an X3 720BE. Mine will not unlock, some do not... it's not a built in feature on 'All' CPU's.
That said.. I have owned mine since the beginning of AM3. It has been a great CPU with 3 cores. I have had OC settings at or above 3.4GHz stable.
If you search you can find a lot of OC information. This was an early release AM3, and a lot of owners, forums, test websites etc.. have information available. I still use it in my HTPC.
Owners who have been able to 'unlock' thier CPU's do get extra core(s).. but it's not as stable. I would rather have a stable, able to OC CPU than an unlocked one that can't obtain the OC stable numbers. It's a mind game.
Good Luck

Screen jumping in Mission Control after wake

I have a mid 2012 Macbook Air running Lion. It's a fantastic machine and I'm enjoying using it very much. One small issue that I've noticed occurs over half of the time after I wake it from sleep, either by opening the clamshell or hitting the keyboard/mouse click. I usually have two desktops and a few full-screen apps open in mission control, and what happens is immediately after wake the screen switches from whatever desktop or app I was using to some other desktop or app, as if I'd swiped the trackpad left/right with three fingers. This is kinda frustrating because the app that I was last using is usually the app I want to use when the computer wakes up again and so I have to go into Mission Control and navigate back to it.
I've searched google and various support forums using keywords like "Mission Control wake switching problem", but have come up short. I can't be the only one experiencing this, can I?
The only other factor that might be relevant is that I migrated all the data from my 2008 Macbook running Snow Leopard to this Macbook Air running Lion. Maybe some of my Exposée/Spaces preferences are interfering invisibly with Lion's Mission Control? I think thats how I've still got double-tap-and-hold to drag enabled, which I am very happy about.
Thanks for any attention or help you can offer.

I googled so many iterations of terminology for the issue for so long before coming across this. I have an 11" air on ML and have this issue. I didn't notice the issue under lion, but it has been there since I upgraded to ML and persisted through all updates. I just did the 2nd air update to bringing my system to OS X 10.8.2 (12C3006).
After I put it to sleep, it's set to wait 5 minutes before requiring password.
Sometimes it's hard to reproduce at will, but it seems to occur after the Macbook has been asleep for at least 15 or 20 seconds and will happen until some indeterminate time thereafter (or in my case 5 minutes max, but still not always that long, and never after requiring pass).
My screen either shifts back to the main desktop or one fullscreen app/desktop to the left (no discernible pattern on that one).
Nothing shows up in console as this occurs that seems related.
I had some other complaints about airplaying video and general graphics performance (my late 08/2009 13" macbook performs subjectively better despite being objectively only 50-75% as fast), so after doing everything conceivable to troubleshoot the issue (including multiple re-formats and re-installs), I took it in.
Since this was the only thing I could readily reproduce that was outright wrong (they wouldn't even look at airplay and dismissed UI stutter), everything was based on this. We couldn't reproduce it on the others in store after setting them up identically, so they said they'd take it to check further. Initially they did nothing but a diagnostic and tried to give it back to me (I had to wait three days with no contact for that!). The girl claimed they had made some sort of software change, but after I got it home, it was readily apparent that they'd done nothing. I brought it back in that same evening (somewhat irked at that point), and they took it back promising they'd send it off to the next tier or whatever and make sure I was in the loop along the way. After several more days with no contact they tell me it's ready. This time they say they've changed the logic board (which I'm inclined to believe they did since I got an email saying my account had been logged into by a 13 inch air right after I reinstalled and put in iCloud info — are the mobos the same size between the two?) They did that and gave it back to me, rattled off some bs about it "probably being within specification" (aka "we don't know; please go away"), and sent me on my way.
Yet again I was able to reproduce, so I reformatted again. Issue seemed to be gone, but I just noticed it back again. Initially I thought I had traded issues. After the replacement my screen stays black for 15-20 seconds after trying to wake before giving pass screen (only after it's been asleep long enough to enter standby).
So after all of that, unless there's an issue with the SSD, this would seem to be purely a software bug, and one specifically with ML at that. I don't believe there's third party influence because I've been able to reproduce on almost completely clean installs of ML. I'm pretty sure I've done it on completely clean, but I know for a fact I've reproduced it with only Chrome and Pages installed. The only other thing that could be of influence is that I synced iCloud stuff, but when I took it to Apple store we created a new user and were able to reproduce there.
This bug is particularly irksome because I shut my macbook any time I think I'll be leaving it alone (for battery), but am somewhat inclined to open it again for something right as the window starts for this to happen (but not long after unless I'm going to wait more than 5 minutes, which is why I'm not sure how long the window is).
So I know a lot of this is ranting, and ultimately doesn't really help, but I didn't just want to say "me too."

P67A-GD65 (B3) CPU phase LED always on

After BIOS update to the latest 1.C0 (I think), on-board CPU phase LED operates wrong. All 6 lights are always on, regardless of actual CPU phase state. MSI control center reports variable (depending on load) LED state meanwhile.

At this time please provide your full system spec. >>Posting Guide<<

T400 bluetooth doesn't turn on after wake-up from standby mode

Hello
Please help
My T400 doesn't turn on bluetooth after wake-up from standby mode
i need to enable it every time by hand.
Thing thing appeared after migration to Windows 7. Before, i used WinXp and that worked fine.
I setup all recommended software via SystemUpdate

On T400s this happend, if you try Linux to install and after that you install Windows 7. I have test Ubuntu (boot from LiveCD) and after that i had exactly sam eproblem. Solution was to reset BIOS to default values.

Kernal_task 100% after wake up

hello my mbp battery went bad after i noticed that kernal_task using 100% of one of cpu core, that usually happens after it wake up from sleep. i searched for solutions but the problems still occoured so is this a bug of maverick? or did apple say anything about this? n other effective solution? thx

I'm not seeing anything, besides kernal_task, that is out of the ordinary.
Spotlight will show a dot in the center of the magnifying glass in your toolbar. If you click the magnifying glass, it will display information about how far along in the indexing process (if it is indeed indexing. If it isn't indexing, it will only display the search field)
I posited bad RAM because that might cause issues. I doubt it though. How large is your internal drive? At this point, I feel it has something to do with a bad migration. I would try to add a 2nd partition to your boot drive and do a clean install of Leopard on it (minimum install, you don't need to install printers, etc.) If your drive is large enough (at least 15 GB free), launch Disk Utility and select your boot disk (not volume, the boot disk will have some numbers beside it and not Macintosh HD.) Next click on the Partition Tab. On the left side of the Partition tab there is a graphic for the Volume Scheme, click on the little '+' sign on the lower left. You can drag the slider in the middle of the graphic to size the 2nd partition. Click Apply. Proceed to install OS X from your install disks to this 2nd partition. If the system performs normally on this 2nd partition, we know your primary OS has something in it that is causing problems. If it behaves the same as the primary, we probably have a hardware issue (I doubt this.) If the 2nd system works properly, I would get an external hard drive, clone your boot drive to the external using either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper! (Boot the external clone to make sure it works) Re-partition and Erase your internal drive and do a clean install on your internal. You can then try to migrate your settings from the external at this point.
Let me know...

785GT-E63 and cpu core control

In BIOS 7551vS4 MSI removed cpu core control, ie, I can't disable the broken kernel, if what some Athlon II X3 is not critical, I can use old BIOS, but for the Phenom 960T is a problem. This CPU supported just starting S4 bios
How I can use 5 cores? I want to return this option or add processor microcode in the old BIOS.

All cores are enabled by default (Auto). The other settings are meant to limit the enabled cores.

Blue Screen on MBA with Thunderbolt Display after wake-up

I'm running a MBA (summer 2012, OSX 10.8.3) with a Thunderbolt display.
Very often after wake-up, I have a blue screen on the built-in monitor while the external display shows the login-screen. The MBA is frozen and I have to enforce a restart.
Any ideas to resolve the problem much appreciated.

ARD works only across a network, not via Target Display Mode. Your MBA will need to be connected to and active on your local network to be able to take control of your MBA from your MBP. I'm not certain if you can take control of a Mac connected via Target Display Mode, though I do know that applications on the system keep running, so it may be possible.
Note, though, that you don't need ARD to accomplish this assuming it is possible. The screen sharing feature built into OS X allows you to control on Mac from another with no extra software required.
Regards.
