  • MSI Z87-G43 gaming + i5 4690K compatibility

    hello there
    so, i built a new pc a few days ago and i decided to go with these 2 options (msi z87-g43 gaming + i5 4690K)
    anyway, i saw that some people have issues and that it's kind of a roll of a dice whether this specific motherboard will boot with the 4690K or not. From what i saw, it depends on the motherboard's manufacture date and if it has a A5/A6 bios version or not.
    now, what i'd like to know is; is there a way to check the bios version of the specific motherboard without opening the box? (i'll have my new hardware probably tomorrow)
    i'm really thinking about getting another mobo, i'm not sure what i'll do though.. A friend told me, even though it wont have the A5/A6 bios version, it'll probably  boot and i'll be able to update it through windows. He also told me there's a really small chance i'll need another cpu to update the bios and then put my cpu on the mobo.. As i said, roll of a dice.
    Any advices/tips?

    Interestingly the BIOS is newer than the board.

  • Slow power on b4 seeing MSI logo (MSI Z87-G43 GAMING)

    My question is, why it takes up to 10 seconds to power on before seeing the MSI logo.
    My rig boots in Windows 8.1 Pro UEFI mode with RAID, see summary of rig below.
    When booting it sometimes takes up to 10 seconds for the MSI screen to appear, the one with the MSI logo. Once the MSI logo appears the boot is fast, usually between 6 to 8 seconds.
    Total boot time around 16 seconds
    Please help thanks

    To be clear, or at least for me to be clear, what you see in the screenshot is the BOOT and not the POST, during the actual POST (power on self-test), the user should not see anything on the display.

  • MSI Z87 G43 GAMING -BIOS CRASH-

    Hi everyone ,
    I got a z87 g43 gaming mobo  I try tried to update my mobo on the live update A40 to A50  then it stuckt
    Now no signal on monitor i tried to reset cmos by putting out  the battery but didnt work i dont understand what i need to do about jumper
    its something like that what can i do???
    Oh i almost forget my system is overclocked is it important and system resets itself(what is going on)   
    Other specs
    4x2 ram corsair
    4670k
    Gtx 760

    You have to return it to the seller if you want a replacement (LiveUpdate hasn't voided warranty as that was provided by MSI). Otherwise look around the city for repair center and ask if they can restore badly flashed BIOS on this mobo.

  • MSI Z87-G43 Gaming and R9 290 OC Windforce not playing nice

      Hi, already tried search but can find a solution, i have an Z87-G43 Gaming(Bios 10.30) and bought an Gigabyte R9 290 OC ref:GV-R929OC-4GD-GA(BIOS F3L). All is on latest Firmware/BIOS.
    The problem is that the motherboard wont recognize my 290 on first PCIE 3. It works on second 16x slot. THe thing is... An Gigabyte 7950,Sapphire 7970, Unknown NVIDIA 7200gs all work in the first slot... now that i got bf4 my 290 doesnt work in the first slot... Latest bios from MSI say's vga compat. improved. The computer boots fine with the integrated vga and in bios it shows the first slot as empty. Anyone?

    Like I said best to contact both and see what you can do. When I check VBIOS for MSI cards, there are normally newer versions available, so best to check. On the other hand if it is a bios issue, MSI can get on it.

  • MSI Z77A-G43 Gaming Crossfire

    Hi there,
    It´s my first post here so greetings all  I have a question regarding MSI Z87 G43 GAMING motherboard and crossfire. I noticed, a bit too late, that the G43 does not crossfire in a x8/x8 mode! Is this a performance compromiser? I mean, I´ve noticed a great scaling in BF4 with seetings in High (no AA; with SSAO) running the game with a 3 screen display - compared with single card I went from 50-80 FPS to 70-130.
    So, if I understand correctly from the board specs, I have one graphic card at x16 and the other x4?
    Thanks for your attention.

    So... I´ve been searching other MSI alternatives towards minimizing the cost of my ignorance. I found MSI Z87-G55 - 3 PCIe 3.0x16. The price is 30€ less than the G45 (110€ vs 140€) and the only visible diference is the network adapter (Realtek® RTL8111G Vs Killer E2205). Can you tell me if this is a good choice?
    My specs:
    Core i7 4770K
    Gskill 2*8GB 1866
    SSD Samsung 840
    ASUS 7970ghz DCII Top
    PowerColor R9280X
    Also checked the G55 OC Genie feature in BIOS. I´m currently using that with my G43 and it´s very simple efficient and absolutely stable and trouble free. Is the BIOS in the G55 similar to the G43? Hope you could answer all this m8... sorry for such inquiry :P
    Thanks again for your attention 

  • MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING DISABLED CORE RATIO LIMIT

    i am using MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING board with intel core i7-4770K
    it should allow me to adjust turbo ratio/core ratio limit in the bios @ cpu features menu. already update to V1.2 bios.
    unfortunately that menu is set to read-only "Auto". it makes me looks like using 4770 NON-K CPU! 

    hahaha. no need to use exclamation mark, bro. 
    ok done. it is because i am confuse with some value with [Auto] and some with Auto without [] 
    for the information, i only managed to get 44x for the 1-core ratio. if more than that, it will go to bluescreen when booting.
    any idea how to solve that problem? like asus motherboard, it has PLL overvoltage to overcome ratio more than 45/46.
    how about MSI? its my 1st time using MSI motherboard for the i7 family.

  • Z87-G43 Gaming reboot dont work

    hello all
    my new MSI mainboards have a problem of reboot: fans run, leds also, but nothing more... if i've a reboot to make, the only solution is to turn off the system, and re launch after.
    i've make all the tests that i've think:
    without graphiq card (using mainboard ship)
    with only one memory stick (using differents slots)
    remove all usb/sound and other case connectors (ssd/dvd/hdd also): boot by contact with "screwdriver"
    re install the latest BIOS (V10.4) 2 times
    all work fine except reboot....
    my config:
    MSI Z87-G43 Gaming
    Intel core I5 4460 (the new edition of haswell)
    GSKILL Ripjaws F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL (2x4go DDR3 1600 PC3 12800 c9-9-9-24 1.5v)
    other (i dont think that's problem): gforce GTX770 2gb/ ssd 120gb intel 530/ wd black 1 tb/ DVD burner Asus
    thanks if you can help.

    could be memory issue look the sticky topic: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=178019.0

  • Z87-G43 gaming HDMI/DVI ports not working

    Board: MSI Z87-G43 gaming edition
    Bios: American Megatrends Inc. V10.3, 03/12/2013
    VGA:   AMD Radeon HD 7970/Samsung SyncMaster P2770

    MEM: 8gb
    HDD: Plextor 240gb SSD
    OS: Windows 7 64bit Professional
    Can't figure why they don't work...I checked my CPU and it's supposed to support integrated GPU. HDMI and DVI work on my videocard so I know it's not a monitor issue. I believe my motherboard chipset drivers are up to date. Any ideas?

    you could try to set it to IGD in your BIOS to get the Integrated only working (find a option in your BIOS that is set to PEG and change it to IGD and see how it goes)
    NOTE: if you find that settings see if it has a both option!

  • Z87-G43 Gaming no audio output

    Hi
    I have just built a new pc using the z87-g43 gaming board and can not get the audio to work.  Sound works when windows is loading (win7), but once all is running I have no output to the speakers. I have updated to the latest bios and downloaded the latest realtek driver (6.0.1.6959)
    I have i7 4771 chip
    GTX 760 twin frozer OC
    Bios is A.10
    Sound Blaster Cinema 1.00.05 (though I have tried with this uninstalled).
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Val

    OK, so problem resolved. I was connecting to my AOC monitor (integrated speakers) with the HDMI cable plus the usual sound cable. The monitor was expecting the sound to be on the HDMI so was disabling the std sound input. Switched to using the DVI cable and all is working as expected.

  • Msi z87-g43 random 1 beep then BSOD then restarts plz help...

    Heres the list of mods on my computer Below. everything is less than 6 months old besides the Harddrive witch I used from my 3 year old HP that I used to have. So anyways my Motherboard throws a 1 beep then BSOD then restarts every once and a blue moon like literaly every few weeks weather im gaming hard or not its just so random . I had it happen again today and prier to this time it happened like over 2 weeks ago. Ive tried reseting BIOS and also did Memtest on the memory for 6-7 hours or so and it passed and even made sure the memory was compatable with the Motherboard witch it is. So now im lost and don't know what to do...is it the HardDrive possibly??? SOMEONE PLEASE HELP....... :-(

    Windows 7 home 64bit

    This could be one of many faults. Try here : http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/kernel-data-inpage-error-help-pls/94003454-5e1f-459f-89e8-1a555dc5e575
    First do a Chkdsk. Choose Admin command prompt and type "CHKDSK /R /F" (without the quotes), press Enter. It will ask for a reboot, press Y, and let it do it's thing. It may take an hour or so depending on how many errors it finds. If you get a cascade of errors it is likely that you have a failing hard drive.
    Anyway this is a good start.

    Hello everyone, I've had several board msi brand, such as B3 P68 GD65, GD65 G3 Z68, Z68 GD80 G3, last week bought a Z87 GD65 gaming, but I can not activate the second video card, installed the  amd 13.9 drivers with just one card ,rebooted and installed the second does not recognize the second card. I tested amd drivers 13.10v2 and does not work, I tested with the older  amd drivers 13.4 official and does not recognize the second card.
    Tested one by one each both graphical works fine.
    I have the crossfire bridge connected.
    I must change something in the bios? To recognize the second card? what ?
     Never happened to me on msi boards such things and i haved always crossfire.

    Hi everybody,
    I tested one at a time in the pci-e 2 and works.
    And do the same on Pci-e nº1. works fine the 2 card.
    "Several possibles. If testing a card by itself in the second slot does not work, then either there is a problem with an errant standoff or other item shorting underneath the mainboard. The other most common reason is CPU socket pin(s) bent or damaged or the CPU cooler mouinted incorrectly or unevenly torqued.
    I don´t  believe it the pins because if you look at the GPU-Z recognizes the two cards.
    And appears on device manager the to cards.
    I am using SO w7 ultimate, and the board bios is the last version.
    Is something else must be some setting in bios, and i don´t no...

  • Flashing of MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING failed and dual bios not helping, not sure why?

    Hi all
    For the first time in 20 years Ive had a firmware flash fail it seems.
    I have a MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING and updated the bios with the latest firmware via the "M-FLASH" utility within the systems bios.
    All seemed to have gone well, it flashed to 100% rebooted and then just a blank screen and a sequence of keyboard light flashes.
    After a minutes panic I thought not to worry, the motherboard has a dual bios.   So I powered down and switched the bios switch to bios B hoping it would assist and the problem is identical.
    Any tips anyone?

    I just tried this along with removing power from the main board and it seems one of the two did it!   thanks
