MSI Z87-G65 adding PCIe cards, how will the GPU PCIe remain?

Hi,
I'm about to to buy a MSI Z87-G65, but currently having issues with Realtek 1150, while its really much better than past sound cards, i have issues with drivers, since MSI also run the same sound card, i want to run a HT | OMEGA eClaro 7.1 Channels 24-bit 192KHz PCI Express x1 Interface Sound Card and im also not too keen of the choice of MSI on the network card, i had issues on my GT70 on my lan and wifi, that has been worked out but i hate the Killer software/panel, this PC will also transfer a lot on gigabit so don't want to deal with poor performance, so im planning on a good trusty Intel EXPI9301CT Desktop Adapter Gigabit CT 10/ 100/ 1000Mbps PCI-Express 1 x RJ45.
I know when you run SLI on PCIe 16x, the first goes to 8x and the second to 8x, when 3sli is ran it goes 8x4x4, but im using the layout like the following, wondering what speed will the first 16x PCIe slot will run with the configuration below, 16x or 8x or 4x?

You can't run nVidia graphics at 8x 4X 4X. Tri-SLI is not possible. Crossfire is though. Download the pdf English manual at an MSI Website. It gives all the information of the lane assignments.
To answer the question, if other PCI-E 16X33 slots are used other than the primary for graphics, the primary will indeed drop to 8X.

MSI Z87 G65 Killer E2200 Ethernet Problems

I'm currently having a lot of trouble with the Killer Ethernet system while trying to set up my internet. I built my computer with an MSI Z87 G65 motherboard that has "Killer Embeded Ethernet E2200" and downloaded the drivers for it. I also have a Rosewill WiFi adapter in order to pick up wireless internet.
Now my problem is this: My computer will always pick up a wireless connection, but the wired connection will only work once I install the drivers. After any type of reset or reboot, the computer doesn't pick up the wireless connection anymore. Here's the situation in a nutshell:
All the drivers have been updated to the current version for Windows 8
The connection HAS worked in the past, but simultaneously seems to just not show itself
The Wired connection WON'T be shown in the Network and Sharing Options of Windows if the computer doesn't recognize it being plugged in (when it really is)
Disabling Wireless settings DOES NOT show the wireless connection (I've been able to connect to both Wired and Wireless before)
The Wired connection seemed to be working for a few days until a Windows 8 update seemed to raise the problem again.
And that's about it. Uninstalling and Reinstalling the drivers has worked in the past, but then there comes a time where Windows just "decides" that it doesn't want to recognize the connection anymore. I'm wondering if there is a more permanent fix or a way that I can see the wired connection in another way to connect directly to it. Thanks for your help!

Killer network is 'killed' under windows 8, otherwise, borked!
There are a few threads about it, mine being here:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=172930.0
Gave up, and going to pick up a cheap network card today, one that will just work.
I actually read through that same thread when I was still searching for answers. It's a shame that we have to resort to getting a new network card. That's a huge disappointment. I'm going to try and go to Killer's chat support and figure it out this morning, but I probably will end up doing the same. Thanks for your reply!

MSI Z87-G65 Gaming BIOS causing RAM problem?

Hey
I updated my bios something like week ago from 1.7 to 1.8 and seems like it is causing ram to behave oddly. I installed the BIOS via live update 5 and flashed the computer via USB. Seems like the ram usage climbs to 100% at span of few hours, usually something like 2-4h. Also my SSD usage also is very high at the same time, around 50-100% changing rapidly. Haven't had the problem at earlier bios versions. Also task manager won't show any specific process that is using all that RAM/disc. Kinda annoying that can't use computer longer that that because it gets so laggy :(. I'll include some screenshots from task manager.
Thank you!

After the flash, was a PSU power cord removed, battery removed CMOS clear performed? Also, was the ME driver re-installed with the latest available? If none of that helps, then I would suggest to contact MSI Technical about the problems encountered with the new UEFI/BIOS revision. A reflash can be accomplished as well back to a version that was working. There is no real need to keep updating a UEFI/BIOS if all works without any problems with the exception of a specific improvement of a particular function that may have been less than optimal.
No I didn't, I'll try it that way and check out if it works. Tough ME driver is a latest but I didn't re-install it.
Thanks for response!

Will be building with an MSI z87-g65 and 4770K cpu and Windows 7 Pro

I will be building a system with an MSI z87-g65 and 4770K cpu and using either an MSI 460GTX or an MSI N6970 HD (both never used VGAs).
I read this topic and how it was solved:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=169759.msg1241119#msg1241119
I wonder if using the "onboard" GPU in the 4770K would be simpler to load Windows 7? I did a search and didn't find posts relating to this.

The listed cards will work fine. The integrated gpu won't work better or make it easier for Win7. Just don't enable Win8 features in UEFI.

MOVED: ram compatability msi z87 g45

This topic has been moved to Intel Core-iX boards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=171226.0

I also have a MSI Z87 G45 motherboard.
I tried 1 working RAM module in all 4 sockets while testing and my memory only works in the 2 sockets closest to the CPU. I get no display when putting RAM in the other sockets.
I have 4x4GB DDR3-2400 modules, Kingston HyperX Anniversary (KHX24C11X3K4/16X).
I also tried the flash the BIOS to the latest but no improvements.
I got older Kingston HyperX (DDR3-1866) that do work in the other sockets.
Do I need to configure my BIOS first before inserting the RAM in those sockets?

How far do the MSI z87-G41's OC capabilities extend?

First off; hi! I'm new here, but not to forums or PC hardware. I'm active over at anandtech and THG, and some gaming forums.
My question relates to my brand new MSI z87-G41 PC Mate. I'm a bit new to overclocking but not without a clue, however I just can not get the motherboard to let me change any voltage or multiplier settings.
Main Board: MSI z87-G41
Bios Version: Don't know. One that came in the box.
Video Card: PNY GTX 770@1332Mhz
PSU: Rosewill HIVE 550w. (38A, 456w)
CPU: i5 4670k
Memory: OEM 8GB (4x2GB) 1333Mhz 9CAS
SSD/ HDD: OEM Seagate 1.5TB 7200rpm. 4 years old
CPU COOLER: NZXT respire T40
Any Additional hardware plugged into your system: NAXT sentry 2 fan controller, OEM DVD burner, netgear w900 USB wi-fi stick
OC: Attempting
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
I am trying to increase the voltage just a tad as I am game stable at 4.2Ghz but not p95 or F@H stable. (stock 1.12v) I have a good cooler and voltage is low so I am looking to push to ~4.4-4.6Ghz. I'd been adjusting with the Intel Tuning Utility to get it to 4.2, but it doesn't change voltage.
TIA
EDIT: Oh. Looks like this belongs in overclocking. :|
EDIT2: Well don't I look stupid. I needed to use numpad +/- and not the ones near the 0 and backspace. Nevermind then!

I tried multiple version of CCC, including old one and the new beta one, not one of them is working.
The card does show in the device manager but in a strange way : it is called in safe mod "Standard VGA" but if you follow those instructions :

Hello Mr. Sil3nt,
Thank you for your post. It is best to get your drivers from the hardware manufacturer, have you tried going to www.... ? You will need to know the make/model of your card in order to get the appropriate driver for your device. To do this, try the following:
Click 'Start' > Right-click 'Computer' > Select 'Manage'
Click 'Device Manager'
In the right pane, expand 'Display Adapters'
Below, you should see your video card, it may say 'Standard VGA'
Right-click this device and select 'Properties'
Select the 'Details' tab and scroll the bar to 'Hardware ID's'
You can then copy this info and put it into a web search that should yield results for your video card type.
From there, you can go to nvidia's website and download/install the latest driver for your card and operating system. Please let us know if this did or didn't help to resolve your problem.
Cheers
You find :

Using 1800*-2133(oc) ddr3 for the MSI NF980-G65

I have been trying to figure out what the fastest STABLE ram for this Mobo is. The MSi tests only go up to 1600 MHz. I've been looking at the brand/series of modules that have been tested at 1600 and are available with higher speeds. Does anyone have any experience using 1800-2133MHz on this board? If so, what kind and how's it running? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

You can use ddr3 2133 if your ram is ddr3 1600 and you use the easy o/c switches and set them to + 20% and there you have it

Hey everyone, so I have a NF980-G65 mobo with the kingston hyperx mem (KHX1600C8D3K2/4GX) and I'm trying to find stable clocks for the ram. Also I'm runnin an AMD Phenom II 955 @ 3.8ghz. Anyways take a look at my picture here..
My question is, are my timings acceptable here for stability purposes? I read in another forum that the Phenom II's run better with lower "tighter" timings. However as you can see in my pic I have a LinX stress test results showing it passed all 20 loops with ALL memory selected @ timings of 8-8-8-24 @ 1.67V. If I pass this test, does this mean I'm very stable? Also, if someone else has this mobo with this ram, have you overclocked any higher? Thanks everyone
Too much voltage brother
you should darn near never hit above 52*C on a Deneb... anything above 50*C and you start to loose performance. Your borderline Max hitting 57*-58*C

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.

Try OC mode.
If you want more:
Set Gaming App to game mode (default clocks).
Run few different benchmarks and record GPU clock it states there, mem clock and temperature.
With Afterburner add +10 to mem clock and re-do the above (benchmarking, temps, clocks). If it dont crash, make note that memclock on +10 didnt crash. Rinse and repeat until crashes on mem clock, for example +93 didnt crash at all within few benchmarks but 94 did.
Then proceed to GPU clock with same technique: small rise, test for crashes, record clocks and temps, repeat until you find crash point, and go slightly lower until it dont crash.
Mind the temps! If your gpu without OC hits 70C, then max 5C will be safe to go. If hits around 60, then even 15 should be ok ! Keep it under high 70s/low 80s under load

I recommend searching the threads that specialize in the 'Turbo' OC method. Ivy CPU's are not super OC'ers on conventional cooling solutions, but excellent performance can be pulled out of them in the 44X-45X range and still keep all the power saving features intact as well. CPU V. left alone to work on Auto is recommended. Initially for testing, set VDRoop to 100%. Disable EuP 2013, Overspeed Protection, and Spread Spectrum.
