Intel Core i5-3570K + MSI Z77A-G45 turbo OC @ 4.5GHZ Problem

Hi Guys,
Maybe you can help me out. I'm currently running turbo OC @ 4.4ghz stable. When I set the Turbo ratio to 45, i always fail the prime95 test or get bsod. Below is my hardware and bios settings:
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K
COOLER: Thermalright Venomous-X
MOBO: MSI Z77A-G45
RAM: G.Skill Sniper F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR (4GBx2) CL 9-9-9-24-2N 1.5V XMP
I followed most of the settings from xmad/Froggy Gremlin on this post - https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=164847.0. Any other settings I can tweak? Or do I need to go manual and set the vcore voltage to 1.3+?

Can you please send me your stable 4.4GHz OC profile for your Z77a-g45 + 3570K CPU configuration? I find it VERY dificult to go beyond 4.2 GHz stable. Thanks!

Overclocking Intel i7-3770k on MSI z77a-g45

Hello!
I am interested in overclocking my intel i7-3770k to a bare minimum at which my FPS can be increased in a game callled StarCraft II.
I understand I have to do a various amount of changes, including something called XMG,vcore, cpu volt and cpu ratio, and I also understand my core should be tested in something called prime 95 while slowly adjusting these settings to a point where the CPU should probably hit 65-70 degress celcius.
Now, I have read a couple of guides and seen some screenshots of other bios systems, but since my cooler and power supply, (750 mw power supply and CoolerMaster 212 hyper evo cooler) I have gotten unsure whether I am able to take these steps without putting my own CPU at risk.
I am making this thread and i am able to follow some screenshots of my BIOS very rapidly if necessary.
Luckily the bios UI looks fairly easy to navigate through and I believe myself to not be an idiot and easily guided.
I believe it is necessary for you to know theese things:
1. I do drop down to about 20 FPS in a standard StarCraft II 400 food fight in a very late game situation, but more than 95% of the time I will be above 80 fps. I have GTX 560 TI, 8 gb ram, so I believe only my CPU is causing issues with fps.
2. My CPU temperatures goes around 30 degress celcius in bios, and 40-47 (mostly around 42) at windows with background programs running.
3. My current CPU runs at 4.2 GHz, the standard, obviously.
4. I intend only to increase my CPU performance to an amount where I bottom to 40-50 fps at max.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you!

I mostly use it for gaming, but I'm full screen so can't see how high it gets. I do plan on getting the Cooler Master Evo. I went back to the stock settings so that means Intel EIST and Turbo Boost are on, but Enhanced Turbo is not. Right now it idles around 32c-35c but can and does instantly shoot up to about 50-60c if I do ANYTHING that maxes out a core. Multithreaded video encoding can easily get up to 80c. OCCT easily 90c. I shaved some heat by dropping the PLL voltage to 1.65v.
I understand that having the CPU increase the voltage when the multiplier changes is smart, but I would rather lock the multipler at a lower voltage. For example, if I lock at 34x, it really runs 1.1v. I'd like to be able to control that voltage and see if I can run 34x at 1.0v, or even 0.9v.
Honestly I guess it is fine since I have been running it like this since I built the machine in February. I was just curious why the board ignores the setting. I would expect it to with EIST and Turbo on, but when locking the multiplier at a set rate, I would expect it to respect the user voltage setting. Then again, I haven't tweaked settings like this since the Q6600 days so I guess these chipsets act differently.
On the subject of voltages, I been experimenting with my RAM. I have G.Skill SNiper 1866. Most people say they can get theirs to 2133 but mine only goes to 2000 (ways of manufacturing I suppose). But the curious part is I have to set the RAM voltage to about ~0.02v under what I really want it to be. For example, 1.48 = 1.505v, 1.58 = v1.602v. I manually set this because Auto jacks my RAM voltage up to 1.65v when I overclock it to 2000mhz, but it is not needed (v1.60 is running fine and passed a complete memtest cycle). Anyway, is the voltage drift normal?

MSI Z77A - G45 - CPU multiplier problem

Hi,
I recently bought this PC:
Intel Core i5 3570 k
MSI Z77A - G45 - with BIOS V 2.5
Seasonic S12II-620 620W
Corsair Vengeance Low Profile White 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600
Amd HD 7850
My problem is following:
If I change CPU Ratio (multiplier), in standart mode to 40x and leave CPU core voltage auto, it cause instability, even if use Cpu core voltage 1.25 V for ratio 40x.
But that's not all problem. I could understand, why I cant OC my CPU, but this instability is even if I change multiplier to 30x from default 34x and this makes me uncertain.
Now I will describe you that instability...
OK so, when I change ratio to 40x or 30x it doesn't matter, it runs to windows successfully but after using windows something about 3-6 hours pc turns off.
I also discovered second problem by coincidence. If I hit F11 (Boot menu) , when I am starting pc and I have set ratio 40x or 30x, I can choose what I want to boot only for 10 secs and after that PC restarts by itself....
But if I set default 34x ratio I can choose what I want to boot forever and pc doesnt restart.
I know that boot menu is not some test of stability but it is very strange... Why If I change multiplier, it doesnt matter, if it is higher or lower then default settings it just cause instability ? :-/
Thanks for help.

I was just saying that the beta caused a vga problem, latest release the f11 problem so try the release prior to that, but if you got it working don't touch it! lol
Are you still using the beta bios?
No clue, we are just users like you are, just keep checking the website. You should report the troubles you had with 2.4 to msi too.>>How to contact MSI.<<
Yeah iťs working now. As I said, I wanted flash older Bios 2.4, so for sure I click on restore defualts in bios (for sure before flashing) in that 2.64 Bios version...
PC restarts and my graphic card started working =)...
So now I am running on that the latest Bios as you refered mi (2.64 beta).
I am running some test of stability on @ 4 GHz with 1.070 V (IBT,Prime,memmaxx,linx,cinebench,occt,super pi, 3d mark) temps are 62 C max...
So I guess it's ok now =)
At the end I have one question :
My Cpu is now running on 40 x ratio all the time, there is no some underoverlocking ratio (16x etc.) when it's in idle. I was thinking the Ivy Bridge overclocking is overclocking of turbo only...
I know It's detail, because I have good temps even in idle with 40x ration (33-39 C) but i want to be assured if it is ok.
EDIT:
And btw I didnť have 2.4 bios flash on, I wanted put them on... But before flashing my 2.64 beta started working right with HD 7850 as is wrote upper.
I had Bios 2.5 before 2.64

MSI z77a-G45 Infinite Reboot Loop

Hello,
Here are my system specs:
Core i5 3570K
Hyper212 Plus
Intel 330 180 GB SSD (with OS on it)
WD 1TB Black (for data)
MSI z77a-G45 motherboard
G.Skill Ripjaws 8 GB RAM
EVGA GTX 660 FTW Signature 2
Corsair TX650m PSU
Lite-on iHAS124-04 Optical DVD Drive
Corsair 200R case
I should mention the following up front: I don't know what is causing my problem, but my guess is it's either PSU or motherboard.
Nothing in my system is overclocked (except for the fact that my GTX 660 card comes factory OC'd). Here is my issue. Yesterday, I shut down my computer and everything was normal. I didn't change anything at all. Today in the evening, I tried to power on my computer, and it simply goes into an infinite reboot loop. I don't see anything on the monitor, nothing comes up. The computer powers on for about 10 seconds, and then powers off for about 5-6 seconds, and it keeps repeating this process. Actually getting this process to stop is a bit tricky (I think I have to hold down the power button for several seconds when the computer is off). Does anyone have any ideas? I've tried a few things, like checking to make sure the 8 pin and 24 pin cables are tight. I've tried resetting CMOS and taking out the CMOS battery. Ideas? Thank you.

Hi guys. I know this thread is 2 and a half months old but I need to find a solution to this problem. It may have been better to start a new thread, excuse me for not doing it as my problem is quite similar.
Well, my situation is a bit different and I will explain it shortly but first I'll give you my PC specs.
MSI Z77A-G45
Intel i5-3570
Corsair DDR3 8GB (2x4)Kit 1600MHz Vengeance
Nvidia GeForce 9800GT
So when I assembled my PC I put one RAM in DIMM2 and the other in DIMM4. This led to an infinite reboot loop. The fans and the leds were working but nothing was displayed on the screen. After doing some tests removing and inserting again the RAMs with different combinations I came to the conclusion that this infinite reboot loop is occurring when a RAM is inserted either in DIMM1 or DIMM2. My PC works fine if I connect the RAMs in DIMM3 and DIMM4 but not with the DIMM1-DIMM3, DIMM1-DIMM4, DIMM2-DIMM3, DIMM2-DIMM4 combinations.
At first I thought one of my RAMs might be corrupt but after the tests I see that both work fine and I'm starting to believe that the Motherboard has the problem.
Any ideas? This is really frustrating.

Msi z77a-g45

Hello,
I got a new build with a msi z77a-g45, Intel core i5 3570k and 8GB corsair 1666 DDR3 and a MSI 560GTX TI
this is not my first build so i went for it.
after i put it al together it did boot up and just kept running without giving me any form of beeps and my screen stayed black.
i went to troubleshoot some things and it all didn't help. after an hour i found out that when i push down on the (stock) cooler on the right corner it would boot up ( the phase leds all turn up) and when i let it go it just shuts down immediately. same goes for when i push down on the right corner of my gpu it would boot and when i let go it shuts down. i dont know what this is. i replaced the cpu for another one and this didn't help either. i also went for another cooler ( scythe mugen 3 ) still the same problem. i now fixed it with some tie wraps to pull it all down and it starts. do you guys have any idea what this is? i obviously want this fixed and I'm not sure if this is a rma problem or not. i also tried it out of the case ( on the desk ) to put down only the motherboard, CPU and gpu.
thanks in advance,
Wessel van Waas

You have a damaged CPU socket, and the board should be RMA'd.

MSI Z77A-G45 and Samsung 840 Series weirdness

Ok so here's the thing
about a week ago i decided that it was time to build a new computer with a Z77A-G45 motherboard
put it together, installed windows 7 64-bit and everything was working just fine - for about 5 days -
but then one morning when i turned on my computer it decided not to boot and just sat there with fans running with an A2 code at the bottom left of the screen
i tried taking out the ram leaving just 1 in and moving it to different slots and trying a different ram block boots thinking it might be faulty ram,
when that didn't work i tried removing the graphics card and boot with just the onboard VGA, reset the CMOS jumper, and even replaced that battery on the motherboard thinking the shop might have shipped an almost dead one, took everything apart and booted it outside the case on a glass surface to make sure it wasn't some sort of short
but the only time it actually wanted to get past the A2 code was when i booted with only 1 of my hard drives, so i started changing my drives around using various combinations of SATA cables and ports (luckily had an extra 5 SATA cables lying around)
eventually i narrowed it down to it wanting to boot with 2 of my 3 drives but the 3rd one (a Samsung 840 series 500 GB SSD, that has no system files or anything fancy other then music, movies and a few games at the moment) getting it stuck on the A2 code
so i set it up as an external USB drive with a SATA/USB converter i had sitting around but then it would get stuck on B4 instead if i booted with the drive connected
however everything would work just fine if i connected the drive after the system had booted up (or even just unplugging and replugging it when it got stuck on the B4)
once back in windows with the drive connected i ran all the diagnostics i could think of but nothing showed anything wrong with it
(and the only thing i had done with the drive before it stopped wanting to boot was to defrag it)
eventually i decided to copy all the files from the drive to a different drive and reformat it as sort of a hail-mary
and to my surprise that actually made it boot up just fine
so i moved it back inside the case as a normal drive just to make sure it would still work (which it did) and then moved all the files back to see if any of them were the culprit - that turned out not to be the case however
it booted up without complaint with all the original files on it
so now my question is why?
what the heck is going on?
did defragging cause some sort of data fault that caused the bios to not be able to read the drive properly or did i just buy a haunted computer?
like i said everything is back in the state it was the day before it didn't want to boot and bios and been defaulted so it's not really an issue at the moment but I'd still like to know what's going on so i can hopefully avoid it in the future
any answers or comments will be appreciated

This is strange
I have Z77A-G43, and have exactly the same problem with one 1GB sata drive, that works just fine in every other PC.
In my case PC run into restart loop, but with same code A2 as yours.
Strangest part was PC was restarting even if I put HDD into PCI Sata/Raid card !?
So I am guessing here its not a hardware problem, but a software (BIOS) problem.
Now whole pc with Z77A-G43 is at Service because of faulty DVI output (not working).
Will try reformating drive, but need first to buy >1gb hdd to backup that one
Drive is currently working just fine in this 10y old MSI PC =.=
It seams they have stopped making things as they used to, this old mb is one durrable dog.
which was the main reason I went to same company when in question was mb...

MSI Z77A-G45 RAID Issue

Greetings...
Just got a new MSI MoBo and wanted to RAID1 my two WD Caviar Black HDDs. However, everytime I enable RAID and reboot it goes to a black screen with two "Z"s randomly placed in the middle. Once I get to the "black screen", it will only boot to that screen afterwards and needs a CMOS reset to fix. I have tried everything I can think of, but always get the same results. I have successfully installed Windows 7 on one of the drives with AHCI mode enabled, and have also had IDE mode work fine... but as soon as I enable RAID - black screen.
Everything else on the board seems to be fine. Anyone have any ideas?
SYSTEM:

XFX 260GTX XXX Ed. (Physx)
2 x WD Caviar Black Dual-Proc HDDs
LG DVD Super-Multi Burner
Silverstone Decathalon 850W PSU
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

FIXED - Ended up reflashing the BIOS, which restored the RAID utility. BTW, my G15 keyboard would not register the CTRL-I to get into the utility... I had to use a PS/2 keyboard, which required a CMOS reset in order to recognize. Just posting this in case anyone else runs into this.

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?

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?

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

MSI Z77A G45 boot loop

Hi everyone!
I just tried to flash my MSI Z77A G45 today from the bios version 2.1 to 2.A.
I had blackscreens all the time when i tried to flash it with the M-FLASH utility from my bios.
Then everything just started normaly (after each blackscreen), but there wasn't any update, i tried to force the update with LiveUpdate.
And now when i try to start the computer, i just get a blackscreen (no signal for the monitor) and a boot loop.
It just stops and reboot after 10s.
My hardware is working perfectly, i think this is from a corrupted bios issue.
Which things i tried:
- Doing a clear CMOS (nothing happens)
- Removing the CMOS battery for 10 minutes (the reboot loop stopped, but there was not any display, i restarted the PC then and the reboot loop started again)
- Cleaning my PC (from dust and things like that), it was not efficient at all
- Booting from a USB key with the bios in, and formated as FAT32, nothing happens too. It doesn't recognize the USB key and anything else (keypad etc.) so the blackscreen was there again.
My Hardware:
CPU: Intel Core i5 3570 3.4 Ghz
Motherboard: MSI Z77A G45
GPU: None (Intel graphics 4000)
RAM: 2x4Gb Corsair Vengeance
HDD: Crucial M4 SSD 64Gb
Power supply: Corsair 850W
Do you think that i need to send my mother board back to the RMA?
I hope you will be able to help me, or find a solution
Thanks in advance

You can try the steps found here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=119375.0
Otherwise, it is RMA time.
Next time use the forum flash tool and archives found on the forums.

Urgent need of assistance, MSI Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt Unknown problems

Recently I have built my first computer, a desktop with the MSI Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt motherboard, an Intel core I5 CPU and a NVIDIA Ge-Force GTX 650 TI Video Card, and a 850W PSU (way more than what is needed). The computer worked perfectly fine for about a week, I did not initially order a Disc Drive because I figured I could install windows with a flash drive (which apparently does not work) so I installed ubuntu for a while (irrelevant to the problem) I ordered the Disc Drive and when it came in I plugged it in and the computer would not turn on, so I spent a while trying to figure out why it did not turn on when the day before it worked fine, eventually after basically disconnecting almost everything and putting it back together it worked. But it had no signal to the monitor. I have no means of telling if it is a UEFI/BIOS problem, a video card problem, or a CPU problem. All 4 LED's for the CPU phase are constantly on, when before when the computer worked fine it would only have the first phase LED blink, so I believe it might possibly be a CPU problem, though the video card is what controls the output for monitors so it equally could be the problem. For the motherboard I tried just about everything to reset it, everything, except flashing the BIOS (which I don't want to try unless it is the only solution left) I tried to clear the CMOS, took the BIOS battery out and put it back in again. Please help!

I do not yet have access to another desktop in which to put my graphics card. I just tried reseating everything and still no signal to the monitor. The VGA port on my motherboard does not work, it never has for some reason, I did not get intel integrated graphics with my CPU, I am not sure if that is why the VGA does not work.

MSI Z77A G45 not detecting Sapphire HD 7950 , only integrated graphic works

First of all - sorry for my poor english,
I've build my setup today.
MSI Z77A G45
i5 3570k with Macho Hr 02
Sapphire HD 7950 Vapor-X
2x4 GB Corsair Low Profile 1600
XFX Core 550W
The problem is MOBO is not dectecting my HD7950 Sapphire when connect to HD7950 HDMI out (using SONY Bravia as display) It works only with integrated graphic on MOBO hdmi out. I've installed Win7 64-bit. System boots fine but only on i5 graphic.
I'm using nearest CPU PCIe port. Unfortunately can't try plug HD7950 in with other PCIe port, Radeon won't fit in case I own (Fractal Core 3000 usb 3.0)
BIOS version 2.9
Need your help

Has the VGA been tested in another machine to verify it works? Do you have access to other VGA's you can test in the primary graphics PCI-E 16X33 slot? If nothing works, then it can be a troubleshooting extravaganza! First recommendation would be to test outside the case on a plain piece of cardboard or untreated wood surface, barebones configuration. Inspect the case for any errant standoffs that may be shorting/grounding the PCI-E slot. The primary graphics PCI-E slot not working can also be caused by a pin problem in the CPU socket. A bright light and magnifier will be needed for socket pin inspection.

Will newest intel drivers work on my Z77A-G45 Mobo

Hi so i seen over at the win 8 forums i go to they have a new intel chipset driver that just came out found over here https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=816&DwnldID=20775&ProductFamily=Software+Products&ProductLine=Chipset+Software&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Chipset+Software+Installation+Utility&lang=eng was wondering if these newest drivers will work on my MSI Z77A-G45 motherboard figured i would update them to the more curent ones if they would work??.

OK thought so and yeah you are right my system is using that rapid storage driver i went in there and it gives me status of drives and also what drivers version its using so i won't touch it , so should i just remove this intel smart stuff its the latest one it looks like it auto updates itself lol.

MSI Z77A-G45 Motherboard Overclocking/BIOS help!

Hello everybody
I've been having quite a bit of trouble with my MB/BIOS being unable to push the OC beyond 38/3.8GHZ and the RAM won't go further than 1600MHZ.. Now i was able to do this before (Had a stable 4.4GHZ with 2133MHZ RAM speed.. i'm not quite sure what's stopped me from being able to OC more than these stated values, however in ClickBIOS i can OC higher than i can in the BIOS menu on startup itself but the settings don't apply correctly
I have a I5-3570k CPU, MSI Z77A-G45 MB, Crucial Ballistix Elite 2x4GB 1600MHZ, MSI 560ti GTX

Power supply: 700W
Ram: 32GB DDR3 1333 MHz
*** VGA card: MSI Geforce nVidia GTX 660 Ti 3GBDDR5 TF
After configuring BIOS to setup RAID 0, I was trying to install Window 7 on my 1.8TB ( which was summed of two HDD )
But I got a problem about couldn't install the O.S on.
***And about the VGA, whenever I plug it in my mobo, my monitor shows black screen as it doesn't recognize the VGA card. What happen if I install window then add the VGA card later? Will it affect on my system later?
And what should I do to install RAID 0 with my stuff? I appreciate all supports.
Thank for read and answer my topic!

The 660ti will require a bios update to use most likely.
Is the system stable enough to flash? The forum flash tool included memtest, run this an so long as no errors or crashes, go ahead a flash to the most recent bios.

Make sure in you next post to include more detail on the raid set up error. What error? When did it fail?
