What is the S/N of the 760?
We will need to update the Vbios for GOP support most likely.

MSI mpower Max z87 problems

I have 2 problems with my MSI board
1) When I Insert my MSI 760gtx card on the 1st SLI slot the computer does not boot to windows and I get a random A? something error A6 A0 depents on what it decides but on the second slot works fine
2) Secondly when I try windows 8 fast boot it says that I have not a windows 8 logo graphic card I have the MSI 760gtx and it supports windows 8 as it says on the box how do I fix that issue ?
thanks for reading

MSI MPOWER MAX Z87 - RAID failure after BIOS update (settings reset)

I use the integrated intel RAID controller to create a 2 disk RAID-0 6TB (2x3TB), but everytime I update the BIOS, there is a RAID failure.
It does not matter if I use Live Update or the Update BIOS+ME option of the BIOS menu. All settings are lost, and after the boot the RAID controller is deactivated due to that. I go to BIOS right after the auto-reboot and re-enter my settings (RAID instead of AHCI), but the intel controller only sees 1 disk as a RAID member. Recovery option is not active when I enter the controller options (control+I). I always need to delete and recreate the RAID, which of course loses all data.
Very frustrating!
Am I doing the update wrong? I know I did it once and settings were not reset, my RAID was kept intact, but I believe it was only 1 time of 4 or 5 updates I did to my MPOWER MAX.

Hi, thanks for trying to help!
- I use Windows 8.1.
- My vga does not support UEFI so I use... legacy mode? (I'm not that familiar with BIOS->UEFI yet, sorry.)
- According to Intel RST, the RAID HDDs are on ports 2 and 3.
- This time the update was from 1.80 to 1.90.
1.70 to 1.80 also resulted in the same problem, but I used LiveUpdate.
For previous updates, I don't remember but I sometimes I used LiveUpdate, sometimes the BIOS feature.
I'm pretty sure that only once the RAID was kept intact, and I don't remember the versions or method I used, but I believe I used the BIOS method (don't know if needed BIOS+ME or not), not LiveUpdate.

MOVED: Overclocking Mpower Max Z87 i7 4770k Help

This topic has been moved to Overclocking, Undervolting.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=176021.0

Here you go. New UEFI/BIOS version seems to have improved what can be achieved on pure Auto settings. It was stable all the way to 45X on Auto, but no significant performance benefit was noted.
Next 2 images, idle, and the second one is the full load test running IBT.
Next is IBT at 43X and then 47X. Note the slight decline in performance.
43X and 2666 is definately ideal with this particular setup. During the IBT test, one core did go a bit past the recommended 72C maximum, but for regular real world stress, it's doubtful it will ever get that hot under sustained load. All of those fancy settings this particular board has with this CPU exemplar in my opinion, for the most part, are pretty much useless using conventional cooling solutions.
Added: Just played some AC III and Metro 2034 with no problems. All seems very stable. Too bad I can't keep it.

Problems with Mpower Max Z87

Since yesterday i have the following problem with my pc.
i'm using a gigabyte gtx780 windforce 3x oc als peg and for now its not working anymore. if i am turning on the computer only the fans are working and video display is only possible through the igd, even when its deactivated in bios. all other components seem to work normal, but led debug code ist showing 04 which means "power on southbridge initialization".
so i changed the gtx 780 to my old msi gtx570 twin frozr III and everything seems to work normal for now, but if i am looking into the device manager there's an exclamation mark indicating that the msi mpower max z87 isn't recognized properly and only shown as unknown device.
so, what does that mean? is there a problem with the psu, mb or the gtx780
my system specs are:
Core i7 4770k
MSI Mpower Max Z87 Bios V.1.2
Gigabyte Geforce GTX780 Windforce 3x OC
16 GB Corsair Vengeance 2133 Mhz
Corsair HX850
Windows 8 Pro x64
Edit: The exclamation mark problem disappeared after installing the intel smart connect utility.

Reseat the cpu and check socket for bent pins. If none to be found uninstall current vga driver in safemode using >>Driver Fusion<<. After reboot with the GTX570 install latest Nvidia driver (no beta!).
reseated cpu and found some bent pins. rebent them with precision tools, and for now, everything, even the gtx780, seems to work normal. will try some decent oc to check if there are any problems left because of the bent cpu pins.

I don't know if is a problem from bios or videocard.
Does anybody can help me?
Best Regards,

You just updated bios but without a proper ME update (done with correct fpt flash) that is useless. I prepared an appropiate archive for you. Follow the below exactly:
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
A.) Download the attached archive (E7815IMS_190.rar) and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
B.) Download and install the Forum flash tool.
C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
D.) Make sure that all win 8 options are disabled. (Fast Boot etc) Also make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
F.) Boot to the USB
G.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash
H.) After flashing reinstall ME drivers in Windows: http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_amt90_mb.zip

Z87 Mpower Max Wifi Problem

Hey!
So I recently built this new PC:
CPU: I7 4770k || GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 770 Gaming 4GB || Mobo: MSI Z87 MPOWER MAX || RAM: Crucial DDR3 BallistiX Sport 2x 8GB || SSD: Samsung 840 PRO Series 256GB || Chassi: Cooler Master HAF XM Midi Tower || CPU-cooler: Noctua NH-D14 || PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 720W || OS: Windows 7 Ultimate || HDD: WD Desktop Green 2 TB | SAMSUNG SpinPoint 160 GB | HITACHI 250 GB
I'm happy with everything except the Wifi connection... I've been googling and searching on forums without any help so now I'm hoping someone know how to fix this problem...
I got a low connection to the router and it's terribly slow (the router is a WNR2000v2 but I've never had problems with it earlier and I get the same result with other routers). Basically, I get about 20Mbit/s with cable and the wifi from my laptop (HP ProBook 6560b with "Broadcom 4313 802.11b/g/n ") and the laptop can stand right next to my desktop PC and get 5/5 in connection vs MSI Mpower Max Wifi (Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 2230) which only get 3/5 in the same distance. I've tried all kinds of placements for the antennas without and improvement. BUT, my problem is that instead of getting 20Mbit/s I only get up to 5Mbit/s. Now... I run the latest drivers from MSI's Mpower Max webpage and I run the latest BIOS (Version E7815IMS V1.3), but I cannot find a solution.
Thanks in advance...
Sincerely,
Dexter
(Excuse my poor English)

I think you should go through some Windows settings. Also try to configure router (this might be the problem).

[SOLVED] Configuring SPDIF for MSI Mpower MAX

Hi people of the Arch,
I would like to play music over SPDIF, while I get no errors, I also get no sound.
I have read the Wiki here Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture
Also, I've been Googling and searching here on the forum, I've followed some steps but none seem to 'sound' right.
What I have not done is creating an asoundrc file with my setup, I believe that I can test if it works first, before I create such a file. Like to hear if this is right.
And I should note that I also use regular stereo out and USB headphones.

Mine originally came with v1.1 and had no problem booting or restarting problem of holding settings above stock/auto/default.

What happens is that it will make it past the start orbs and I see the mouse with a black background and then it BSODs. The computer restarts again and then boots properly.
Usually an indicator a voltage isn't high enough. OC settings don't sound stable. Might open a thread in the OC and Undervolt forum section for help with that. I've stayed away from the DRAM Training (left it as is) and reached 2800 without any trouble. Not all IMC's are going to handle that speed though from what I've been reading. All my benchmarks so far are showing RAM speed above 1600 adds little performance value.

MSI Mpower Max 4770k Help tweek it

Hi there,
this is my first seriouse MSI board in last 3years and i have encountered few problems with overclock
My Pc Specs are:
Intel 4770k

Corsair AX860
Intel SSD 510 250GB
Seagate Barracuda 3TB
Samsung F4 2TB
Corsair 650D
all day passed and i am a bit tired of seeing bios and bsods
i think i got the lazy chip help me understand it better and learn things on the way.
this is most stable i got.
Bios E7815IMS.133
CPU ratio: x44
Ratio: Fixed
Ring: x39
Vcore 1.25v Offset 0.015V
Svid comm. Enabled
from digitall i changed only CPU Vdrop to 100%
Ram set on xmp and manualy entered timings and voltage and speed 1600
With this i pass AIDA 64 stress test for 30min no problem
cinebench pass
when i open Prime95 Blend test 15min pass and bsod..
Temps were 80-85c with room 25c
Everything else in bios is set to default (auto)
Any tips how to tweek it more?
i tried x45 with settings as above i boot into windows pass cinebench but crash on aida64.
i also tryed just x46 with voltage bump up to 1.28v with offset 0.015
I will be deliding as soon as my h220 arrives and CLU.
Also is there some special USB so i can take the screenshots?
i tried all the ports different flashes also formated to FAT32 and NTFS same its saying no usb dongle..
When i put my WD 2TB HDD it recognize it but when i want to save the Screenshot it gives this message
"allocate file system resource fail"
I would post Screanshots but as i mentioned above its annoying problem..
Thanks in advance guys.
Edit:
just to see if i have lazy chip i tryed 1.3v with settings above and x47-48 wont even post.... :(
found flash that is working

ok i tryed this also
Internal VR efficiency management - disabled in screanshots its enabled
with this i am able to make 30mind aida with no crash temps a bit high but can be managed, i boot into windows with this vcore and x45 but unstable during aida 10min bsod
i boosted the voltage to 1.275 with offset 0.015v and got me 20min aida then bsod. any way i can tweek it more?

MSI MPower Max problem

Hello
I recently purchased an Z87 MPower Max and it came present with BIOS v1.1. According to the CPU sheet on the website it wasn't recommended to use that with a 4770K so I flashed 1.0 back on since 1.1 only boots with stock settings. Now I have this annoying problem of getting a BSOD every time I boot the computer for the first time.
What happens is that it will make it past the start orbs and I see the mouse with a black background and then it BSODs. The computer restarts again and then boots properly.
These are my settings:
CPU Ratio Mode - Dynamic
Adjust CPU Ratio - 42
EIST and Turbo boost -enabled
Adjusted Ring ratio - auto (39x)
Adjusted Ring Frequency - 3900Mhz
DRAM Reference Clock - Auto
DRAM Frequency - Auto
XMP - profile 2 (2400Mhz)
DRAM Timing Mode - Auto
Memory Fast boot - auto
VCCIN Voltags - 1.900V
CPU Core Voltage Mode - Adaptive
CPU Core Voltage - 1.165
CPU Core Offset mode is -
CPU Core Voltage Offset - 0.005
Is it something to do with this DRAM training? I was told to disable it but I'm not sure how to. Can someone help me?
I have verified 4.2Ghz stable with 2400Mhz RAM with AIDA64 and Prime95 when using fixed 1.15V and used AIDA64 CPU only for adaptive checking.
I have this RAM: F3-2400C10D-8GTX - its Gskill 2400Mhz DDR3 Trident X ram

Try this one, v1.2B8;

MSI 648 Max - Display Problems

I recently bought the MSI 648 Max motherboard, as my system needed an upgrade quite badly. To cut the costs down a bit, I’ve used some parts from my previous system (eg the video card which is an 2x AGP, 64 Mb, Kyro based card) but got new RAM, CPU and psu.
I put together the system (described below), loaded Windows ME, updated all drivers with latest releases, and the thing works but the quality of the display is really bad ;( . That is, I get lots of video artefacts (shadows, fading text, vertical lines, distorted colours, etc). The video card was working fine on my other machine. Also, Sisoft Sandra says that the card is operating at 2x AGP, as it should.
I am not overclocking; some of the BIOS parameters I used are as follows (based on the OPTIMAL DEFAULTS):
AGP Aperture Size    128 Mb
DRAM CAS Latency    by SPD
Timing Setting Mode    NORMAL
MA 1T/2T Select    AUTO
Primary Graphics Adapter    AGP
Allocate IRQ to PCI VGA    NO
CPU/DRAM Frequency Ratio    by SPD
DRAM Frequency    167 MHz (for now)
CPU Frequency    133 MHz
AGP/PCI Frequency    66/33
DRAM Vcore        2.6 V
CPU Vcore       AUTO
The system temperature showed in the Health Status is less than 40 C (104 F).
I have tried the latest AMI BIOS (version 1.3), and then reverted to version 1.0, but I still have the same display problem.
I would really appreciate some help.
Ciao

Z87 MSI Mpower Max Adaptive vcore not working properly?

Hi, first time MSI MB user here.
After I finished tweaking my OC settings, I changed the vcore voltage from fixed to adaptive mode, since that is said to lower the idle temps.
However, it doesn't seem to work in the way that I thought it would.
Vcore voltage stays at the same value regardless of whether the CPU is idle or under load. I thought it would lower itself when the CPU is idle.
Am I misunderstanding something here?
Voltage check done by AIDA64 and CPU-Z 1.64.3
Below are my bios settings:
BIOS ver. 1.1
CPU Ratio Mode - Dynamic
Adjust CPU Ratio - 45
EIST and Turbo boost -enabled
Adjusted Ring ratio - auto (39x)
Adjusted Ring Frequency - 3900Mhz
VCCIN Voltags - 1.95V
CPU Core Voltage Mode - Adaptive
CPU Core Voltage - 1.25
Thanks.

Once the CPU V. is taken out of auto and set manually, the voltage isn't going to drop at idle.

That's not what I was led to believe?
Yup! Turns out your belief is correct. The rules 'have' changed with Z87!

MOVED: MSI X58A-GD65 Overclock Problem

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=141883.0

I bought the MSI X58A-GD65 because I am a complete moron who wanted a hardware Easy Switch.
It works really well,but I was pissed when I noticed that my 12GB's of RAM was no longer recorgnized. Only showed 8GB's..............
So I set the Easy Switch to deafualt ( 133 ) and decided to overclock the CPU and tweak the RAM.
I just read every forum where people had problems w/ various settings, and since I only want 3.2GHz w/ 12GB's of RAM @1.4v it was a walk in the park.
Clearing the CMOS after a day of torturing myelf and committing Human errors,I easily was able to simply undervolt the RAM from the 1.65v default,and raise the 133 default setting up by a factor of 5 and rebooting.
So this is my first OVerclocking experience and MSI seems like a worthy board..
I use this to perform hardware and virtual musical synths and instruments 6 nights a week.
Since I cam from a solid 32bit DAW that ran 100% for 3 yerars,I didn't upgrade, but actually did an entire new rebuild since I wasn't sure ofthe stability in x64.
But this DAW has worked for days on end now flawlessley.
I Declare This Dog Will Hunt.............
