Fan control problem on Z77A-G45 Gaming

Hi,
I've got this problem: I have Z77A-G45 gaming mobo and thermaltake water cooler (water 2.0 performer) on cpu and, by default this motherboard makes this cooler work with full 2000 rpm, but if I open the msi utility program "Control center" and go in "Green power" tab and use "CPU fan control" it makes cooler to run normally with 850 rpm. But problem is, when I turn off or restart PC, it starts again with 2000rpm and I need to open that "Control center" again and click check "Cpu fan control" to make cooler work normally. So what is solution to this problem? How to make it remember "cpu fan control" option marked? I don't want to start this application manually everytime I boot my computer.

Try entering bios and enable cpu smartfan and save on exit.

My new MSI Z77A-G45 Gaming question

Hello MSI forums ,
I'm building a gaming system for my son. The MB i picked was the MSI Z77A-G45 Gaming and it just arrived from newegg. Just a quick question.
The MB arrived w/ out shrink wrap and the MB itself seems to be slightly warped or curved. Is this normal? I purchased a MSI Z77A-GD65 a few months ago for myself and I can't remember if it had shrink-wrap on it or not but I'm sure I didn't see any warping on the GD65.
Anyway, over the last two months I've build two complete systems all from newegg and i haven't had one issue, so good luck for me so far.
thanks!

Not even a security flap or tab seal on any of mine, so no shrink wrap I can recall. Slight curve should pose no problem once it is tightened down in the case.

Z77a-g45 gaming mobo wouldn't boot

Hello, I got my processor today and tried to test my mobo which is a z77a-g45 gaming one. I put my cpu in right, attached the cpu fan, plugged it in, had 1 G.skill 8g stick of ram in, had my gtx460 fermi hawk in with ample connectors and connected it to my monitor, yet the mobo didnt boot or beep, in fact the PSU, CPU or GPU fans didn't even spin. Is there a power switch on the mobo itself I have to hit to boot or generate power because I didn't see any? The psu I am using has 2 4 pin connectors on the same wire and they have a piece of plastic that connects them together, so I am assuming this is a modular 4 or 8pin connector.
I put my gpu and psu back in my old pc and they work fine. If there is a power button on the mobo can you illustrate where it is exactly? Thanks.
I am thinking thats what I didn't do was take a metal object and touch each pin to jump the mobo. Too arsed to take out my gpu and psu from the pc I am using now to try it out again.

Just short the front panel JFP1 start button pins. Should be covered which pins they are in the product manual.

MEGA 865 fan control problems after suspend/hibernate.

I'm seeing the CPU fan control problems, and it's REALLY ANNOYING, as it means I have to leave the machine on all the time. Specifically, after suspending or hibernating the machine, on wakeup the CPU fan goes to full speed and STAYS THERE until I reboot.
This is on a CLEAN INSTALL of Windows XP.
Is there going to be a fix for this from MSI soon? Because it's really ruining the experience of using the MEGA.

Hi guys,
I have builded a Mega 651 attaching a Celeron 2.4 Ghz.
I installed the cooler but I got really scared when I realised that the fan run for 2 secs and then stopped.
Is this normal?
If yes then i am assuming that the voltage of the fan is controlled by a thermal sensor, meaning that the fan goes on when the temperature reaches a certain limit.
Can the threshold temperature be controlled from bios so I can set it to minimum possible?
thanks in advance

Need some help with MSI Z77A-G45 Gaming Motherboard

Hey guys I want to buy the z77a-g45 gaming Motherboard.
but i dont now if i could use my RAM that i own now. could you help me out.
My ram is: Corsair Vengeance CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9 4x4GB

As said before:

None the less that Corsair kit should work although a 4x4GB kit is not optimal for a dual channel system (as 2x4 or 2x8GB would be ideal). That matched 1.5V kit should none the less work.

MSI z77a-G45 Gaming 3770k overclocking?

I just recently purchased the z77a-G45 Gaming mobo and a i7 3770k, most of my googling would leave me to believe that the 3770k can easily obtain 4.6Ghz with fairly low voltages like 1.16-1.20 vcore; here comes the question...in order for me to obtain some level of stability @ 4.6Ghz I must crank my vcore to 1.4150 with 100% cpu offset resulting in a 1.39 vcore in windows with a 1.38 vcore under load. I have all power saving technologies disabled, pll overvoltage enabled, cpu vdroop offset set to 100%; my question is am I missing something with MSI boards as this is the first one I've ever owned or did I just get a very power hungry 3770k?
General system specs
MSI z77a-G45 Gaming MOBO
i7 3770k CPU
16Gb of Gskill Trident X 2400mhz memory
Corsair HX850 Gold PSU
MSI GTX 670 PE OC
Cooled by custom water loop

Alrighty, appreciate the info; gonna back down to 4.4Ghz as I can maintain stability with 1.275 vcore in bios = 1.26 in windows = 1.24 under load resulting in hottest core never exceeding 70...was really hoping for 4.7-5.0Ghz overclock when most everyone who reviewed this chip in the early days was claiming such great overclocks with such low voltage. But I'll chalk that up to either misinformation or non stability checked overclocks, I guess I'm old school; cause if it can't hold up to a minimum 24hr pass of Prime 95 small fft's it isn't stable in my book. Might consider delidding it in a year or so once the new wears off, I had my i7 920 for about that long before I lapped it into a mirror shine lol. So based on my new information 3770k's on average overclock between 4.4-4.6Ghz and can require up to 1.4 vcore and higher past 4.6Ghz which is where you start to really become thermally limited on liquid as the Ivy Bridge's 22nm technology puts the cores to closely together in combination with intel's cheap ass thermal compound solution. Maximum recommended voltage for 24/7 shouldn't exceed 1.4 vcore without some kick ass cooling or a combination of delidded processor and kick ass cooling cause ideally you want your cores mid 70's and below...that about sum it all up?

Help with OCing my MSI Z77a-G45 gaming with i7 2600k

Hi there its been awhile since ive done OC since my old intel e8400 and everything looks different now..i just recently bought a brand new Msi Z77a-G45 gaming MB and i7 2600k for good deal and would like to push my limits on this setup
Currently setup:
intel i7-2600k
8gb ddr3-1600 gskill ripjaw X Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
MSI Z77a-G45 gaming motherboard
Antec Hcg-750 PSU
Evga gtx670 single card
my old rig Corsair H50 for now waiting on my custom built water cooling
i know i tried using the OC genie to test out their OC setting which gave me 4.2ghz with 1.336vcore and friend told me thats kind of high for a 4.2ghz?
any help will be good step by step. my goal for now is to reach like 4.4-4.5ghz until i get a better cooling system

Alrighty, appreciate the info; gonna back down to 4.4Ghz as I can maintain stability with 1.275 vcore in bios = 1.26 in windows = 1.24 under load resulting in hottest core never exceeding 70...was really hoping for 4.7-5.0Ghz overclock when most everyone who reviewed this chip in the early days was claiming such great overclocks with such low voltage.

Z77A-G45-GAMING Super-Charger dont work

Running Win7 64Bit
i cant' get Super-Charger to work , usb plug connected into JUSB1 , Z77A-G45-GAMING Super-Charger v 1.2.018 i got an Sony Xperia S , program when i click it just says , "Super-Charger already running." i have no GUI
got a Cooler master Haf X case
i tried all 3 usb plugs onto the mobo ,
JUSB1-2-3

JUSB1 has power at all times whether PC is on or off. 0.5A without Super Charger, 1.5A with Super Charger. Are you sure the cable you are using is good? Front panel USB plugged into JUSB1 header?
I just finished checking things out on mine and apparently the icon is hidden. Click on the "Show hidden icons" button.
Right click on the S C icon, left click on "Main Window" in the menu that pops up, then left click on the "On" button to "Enable fast-charging immediately" and see how it goes.

P67A-G45 Fan Control Problem After BIOS Update

My old BIOS version was 1.8. I could control my fans in BIOS(50-75-100% RPM). Also SpeedFan tool was working perfectly, I could change fan speeds freely.
I just installed MSI Live Update and tool updated my BIOS version to 1.E(CPU-Z says v1.14) without any problem. But when I entered BIOS/Hardware Monitor I saw that fan control is disabled. Both sys fan 1 and sys fan 2 are stuck in %65. SpeedFan doesn't working too.
CPU Smart Fan is okay, works fine but system fans are uncontrollable now.
My Hardware;
i5 2500k
MSI P67A-G45
G-Skill 1333MHz 2x2GB DDR3
Samsung 502HJ
HAF 912+ with 2x120mm fans 2x200mm fans

Boot problems with Z77A-G45

Once everything is all connected up, installed in the case, etc etc, upon power up, the fans all spin up, HDDs initialize etc. Then after 10 seconds or so the system powers down again, with the screen (whether on the external or internal graphics) never having been active. There are no beeps from the PC speaker whatsoever, nor do there seem to be any indicator lights as I've had on previous MSI motherboards. The manual is completely absent of any troubleshooting section. So my main question is, is there any way to tell what stage the startup is failing on? Other threads on this forum (here and here) suggest that the problem is due to lack of processor support. As the motherboard was sold as Ivy Bridge ready, I'd like soe way of confirming this as most likely cause before paying for some fix.
Hey I am actaully sharing the similar problem of yours....
I am using MSI H77MA-G43 (BIOS v1.5), and a set of DDR3-1600 4GB RAM x 2.
When i am using both 2 pcs of RAM, i am facing the same problem:
"after 10 seconds or so the system powers down again, with the screen (whether on the external or internal graphics) never having been active. There are no beeps from the PC speaker whatsoever, nor do there seem to be any indicator lights as I've had on previous MSI motherboards. "
When I use 1 pc of DDR3-1600 4GB RAM, it works again.
I just wonder if there is some RAM compatibility problem with MSI motherboard...I have tried below 2 sets of RAM:
AMD DDR3-1600 4GB x 2 (1.5V) (AE38G1609U2K-U)
Kingston HYPER-X DDR3-1600 4GB x 2 (1.65V) (KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX)
Cheers!

Please don't hijack other's topics. >>Please read and comply with the Forum Rules.<<
Your components are not the same, starting with the RAM. >>Posting Guide<<
Please supply your full system spec.
Your RAM is 1,65V overvolted DDR3-1600.
Only add one module as per the instructions. Then do a full CMOS clear with power cord removed. >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Afterwards go into the BIOS and set that memory to 1333, (ensure that XMP is disabled for now). Set the DRAM voltage to 1,5V. Retest and advise.

Custom Hardware Fan Control - problem if speed pin not connected?

Hi There,
I am planing to install a hardware fan control (poti) to my MacPro 1.1 rear fan. (because I have a defective northbridge temperature sensor and the fan is running at maximum speed... so i thought of slowing it down with a fan control for the pci slots)
I read that the pinning of the Fan is: Gnd, 12V, Speed, Control Pin (analog Voltage)
So when i would attach a fan control (just a poti) between some +5v and the Control Pin I think I should be able to control the fan manualy - am i right?
But then the speed signal is not the speed the mac pro fan control software think of... so would it be a problem e.g. if i disconnect the speed pin from the mainboard fan connector?
what would happen then? is the mac pro powering up the other fans for some kind of failsafe?
Or have you other suggestions how I can lower the speed of the rear fan manually?
thanks in advance,
Stefan

2010 2.8 Special $2119 - and throw in 6-core 3.3GHz yourself for $590
Take a look at the project some have undertaken to go with water block.
Send the motherboard in to have a 'skilled' electrician? repair the board perhaps.
4 fans, 3 under the control of SMCFAnControl utility. Maybe disable the one fan and make up for it with your own fan and running the others efficiently.
There are also VGA copper coolers.
FBDIMMs bleed heat: maybe the RAM fan cooler kit in there to deal with large source of heat. New higher density DIMMs are better made and few DIMMs = less heat even if 4GB.
Use ice packs, dry ice and liquid nitrogen to super cool :-)

MSI Z77A-G45 GAMING SERIES ---RAM---

I am looking at buying and building a new computer, and when I looked on the MSI test results for RAM, I did not find the RAM I was after, so I am wondering if the RAM CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9R (manufacturer's code) would work... i am also wondering if MSI themselves MAY be able to test this RAM as there does not seem to be much suggesting that it would not work.

Problem with a88-g45 gaming motherboard and g.skills 2400

Hi there!
This is my setup:
Motherboard: A88-G45
RAM memory :G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 2400 PC3-19200 16GB 2x8GB CL11
PRoccesor: AMD A10-7850K 3.7Ghz
I start with only two modules of memory. Running fine at 2400 Mhz with xmp. No BSOD and no freezes without any problem.
Yesterday I received two more modules and when I plug in, and set up Xmp at 2400, when Windows starts I got a beatiful BSOD :(
I have a different message each time, the most popular is "boot config error".
I have to set up memory frequency at 1800 with xmp off. If I set up to 2100 the system boot, but for example firefox hangs randomly. It seems that the system becomes unstable.
I tried to set up manual voltage to 1.65 and manual timing as the specs said with no luck. Anybody with same problems?
I can't undestand why the system runs fine with only two modules but It doesnt with 4.
Thank you!

yes its the matter, its not the same as they are not a kit [all 4 matched pairs]
even if they are the same model they can be a different revisions with some difference
and not all are tested by vendor to works together as one pair
you can try to reverse memory pair stick places, put the slower pair in the 1st dimm sets
does the command rate is 2T when you run all 4 sticks? check it with CPU-Z at memory page.

and set up Xmp at 2400, when Windows starts I got a beatiful BSOD :(
2400 is considered as OCing, memory controlled inside CPU can handle max DDR3-2133
anything above is not guaranteed.

does it works fine when its set to 1800MHz with all sticks?

Cpu fan control problem

I hope maybe somebody here can help me out, I dont know where else to try, please be gentle with me, just a newbie!
I have a Medion 1918 desktop pc purchased in nov. 2004 and I was very happy with it until it quit working about 8 weeks ago. The machine would not post, and subsequently was returned for repair to the manufacturer. Making a short story long, it took almost 8 weeks to get it back in my hands and its just not the same as it was when it left here..
The motherboard was replaced with a ms-7041, and all I can tell you is its a 865pe, but I cant find any info or documentation on the msi site for this model. I do not even know if this is the same board model that it replaced.
The problem is the computer now sounds like a 747 taking off, I mean this thing is so loud now. The fan spins at full speed all the time now, whereas before it would throttle up or down depending on what the cpu was working on, or if it was just idling. I have also noticed I dont have a "pc health status" when I go into the bios, so I cant even tell what the cpu temps are or what the fan speeds are currently running at.
I probably will need to give more info, but I dont know what else you guys might need to know to help me out.
If there is anyone who can help steer me in the right direction to rectifying this noise, I would be greatly appreciative.

Thanks Danny, after much reading in these forums, and other similar questions, I had a feeling you were going to say that.
I realize now its an oem board and theres not much help from msi. But I was hoping somebody might have some ideas why its so loud now and wont vary the rpm anymore like it did. Also, what about the pc health status? Shouldnt there be one on a current cpu/mobo of this speed?
On the downside, so far, its not been too easy of a go with the folks at medions customer care, which is why I was looking for other opinions here.
I just cant run this machine like this. If I had a meter, I would bet the noise is above 80decibels. You cant even turn up the pc speakers loud enough to watch a dvd. Medion tried to tell me they probably changed the fan, cuz its only a three pin connector, and that the variable rpm fans are four pins and that this replacement mobo wouldnt connect to the old fan, but it looks like the same fan got put back on to me, cuz its dirty and got some dust bunnies stuck in there. So I dont know what or who to believe.
A few more questions to add to the pile...
What controls the variable fan speed on these p4's, bios?
Is it unusual that there is no pc health in the bios settings?
Thats all I can think of right now, I must shut this thing down for a couple hours cuz I'm going deaf and cant hear myself think.

MEGA 865 Fan Control Problems using suspend/hibernate

I'm still having problems with the MEGA 865 CPU fan speed going to MAX after I come back from suspend or hibernate until a reboot of the system.
This is super annoying.
MSI tech support sent me a BIOS they thought might solve the problem... but it's OLDER than the one on the web site, PLUS it doesn't fix the problem
When will MSI look into this problem? When will a real fix be available? :(

MSI sent me an updated 1.1 BIOS which actually fixes this problem. Unfortunately when I now resume from hibernate or standby the computer is so slow I have to reboot it - sort of defeats the point don't you think!
As for a response from Tech support. Well I might aswell get some
