Can anyone share a step by step instruction on how to use M-flash?MSI 970 Gaming

I've been researching online and alot of the information regarding on how to do this are really inconsistent and outdated. even the video shown here stops at the end and doesn't explain what you need to do once u get back into the bios. I've also pinged MSI tech support and they are very vague and sound speculative in their answers. HELP! this is for an MSI 970 gaming board.

procedure same as the Xpower video.
1. Put the bios file in the root folder of your USB pen drive
2. Go to bios --> Mflash --> Select one file to update bios
The system will then start to flash the bios.
3. After flash success then just remember to go to bios and press F6 then F10
Note: there is always risk in updating bios, if you don't encounter any issues at all then there's no need to update your bios

Help with msi 970 gaming

I have a msi 970 gaming, I am having some problems with it, I made a usb bios stick which has now become corrupt, so I got in touch with msi and am still awaiting a reply. I was told to clear the cmos jumper of which I have, I have also taken the battery out for five mins and that hasn't changed anything.
so I am sat with a board that powers up okay but have no video output. anyone willing to help me with some suggestions please I have tried everything from taking my two gtx770 and amd fx6300 and amd phanom ii x4 black edition check all power outputs to the board and cards and hd and dl dvd, so any help would be most appreciated. Dave

The bios update failed and due to not having a backup bios the board is now bricked. You need to rma it as it is beyond things you can try yourself.

MSI 970 Gaming Hardware Monitor FAN profile not working in windows

Hi,
Not sure how this is supposed to work but when I'm in the hardware monitor and I set a min max temp for the fans, it works great in the bios you can see the speed increasing with the temps.
However when I'm in windows the it is stuck at the lowest RPM and speed doesn't increase when the temps raises.
Anyone know the solution to this?
Windows 8.1 x64 using Aida64 to test.
Thanks

I'm guessing this isn't my lucky day. I put the BIOS on a mem stick, go in to the BIOS select M-FLASH > Update BIOS > Select the USB stick and BIOS file and BIOS just freezes. I waited for a while because I was afraid it was somehow doing the update and I would interrupt thus breaking the BIOS/Motherboard. Eventually I Hard reset and thank god bios came up again so I tried again, same problem.
I think i'll wait for release notes, it works now and unless there is something worthy in it I'd rather stay away from it. If it ain't broken don't fix it
I admit this thread is puzzling...I have the MSI "970 Gaming" motherboard--and it is so named because it houses the AMD 970a core-logic chipset...It doesn't appear as if the "M.33" bios at the above link is designed for my board--but maybe it is, I can't tell... Current bios is 2.22 (no "M" anywhere)--Just in case we are actually speaking of the same motherboard, I have the same experience with my fan controls in that they seem not to work with the Command Center in the way that you'd think they should work. Command center is theoretically supposed to run at boot, and any setting you save for system fans 1 & 2 (plus the cpu fan, of course) *should* run when the program runs at boot and you have saved your system fan settings to "smart mode"... (Says he who is wondering if he's just made a dumb post...) At least, that's what I *think*...Anyway...that apparently does not happen so I pulled Command Center out of my boot-up routine.
You know, if you and I don't have the same motherboard then why do two completely different motherboards bear the same name? Eh?
Of course, I just may be thoroughly confused about all of this somehow...!

MSI 970 Gaming and AMD 8350 only 2 ghz

So I just finished my new build. Did lots of reading a research to build a budget machine. My amd 8350 will go no higher than 2.09 ghz. Can someone help me out. I do understand the 970 chipset isnt the greatest for 8350's, but the build supports it, and I don't really do OC'ing to CPU. Im a gamer on a budget. any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks!

make sure these are set as such in BIOS
go to Settings\Advanced\Power Management Setup
EUP2013 = Disabled
go to Overclocking\CPU Features
AMD Cool and Quiet = Disabled
C1E = Disabled
if you do not mind your computers CPU running hotter all the time Enable HPC Mode (High Power Computing Mode) as that will auto max out the clocks it uses and will not let them drop below Base clock speed (4GHz for the FX8350)!
All of this is done, and it freezes on win 7 splash art loading screen, and never moves. That is with the HPC enabled. I do have High performance set as my power mode inside of win7 as well.

What BIOS version do you use? What does Current CPU Frequency show under BIOS? Have you tried clear CMOS by taking out the battery with power cord unplugged?
I am on bios version 22.2, cpu freq at 4000MHz. I also did clear the CMOS, I was embarrassed caue i couldn't find it, then I saw it setting under my GTX 970.

MSI 970 Gaming Mobo Issue - 5 beeps

Hi Guys,
I've trawled the internet for answers, and I still dont know what to do.
I have built a new system. Ive put an MSI 970 Gaming Motherboard and an AMD FX8350 CPU and a Sapphire Dual-X Radeon R9 270X 2GB GDDR5 GPU. The rest is irrelevant at the moment, as nothing else is plugged in other than these 3 parts.
I booted up the machine, and I got no video, and nothing happening at all. Thought this was a bit strange so I headed out to Maplin to buy a Motherboard test kit. Plugged the speaker onto the motherboard, and it is giving me 5 beeps.
So... I contacted Amazon and swapped my CPU for a different one, as this was the information I was given through a different forum.
Just put the CPU into the machine (taking all static care etc.) and switched it on. 5 beeps again.
Literally stumped as to what I should do next? I would have thought replacing the CPU would have fixed this issue, but apparently not!
Is 5 beeps definitely the CPU? No video either, so if it isnt, why is this still not working?
Cheers,

My apologies - just a bit desperate for an answer I suppose

So you keyboard doesn't work with the usb 3.0 port either? All usb devices don't work with these particular ports? Which BIOS version did you update from? using what way?
Try download the VIA usb3:

MSI 970 Gaming + AMD FX-8350

Hello,
I want to upgrade my computer and by searching around I stumbled upon the new MSI 970 Gaming mainboard. I'm really looking forward to the isolated audio PCB and even the ramdisk software integrated in the MSI Command Center would be nice to have.
But I want to upgrade to an FX-8350, too.
Officially the FX8350 has a TDP of 125 Watt. But I know that it can draw more, even without overclocking. At least 140 Watt under certain circumstances, e.g. when using burn-in tools like Prime95.
I heard of problems with a few 970 chipset mainboards, when used with power demanding CPUs like the FX8350. They usually start throttling, if the TDP exceeds a certain limit. Avoiding an early death of the mainboard, caused by the overheating of the used MOSFETs. As far as I know the throttling isn't always an issue with mainboards with 'bigger' chipsets, like the 990FX, since they usually support a higher TDP.
The 'FX8350-issue' is known for quite a while, so I'm not sure if it sill applies to the new '970 Gaming' mainboard. Besides the 'military class 4 components' nothing is said about the used components, e.g. something about the power phase, which could give somewhat of a hint.
Now what would you say, based upon your experience? Do you think that the new '970 gaming' is a viable option for the FX8350? Or should I buy a mainboard with a 'bigger' chipset, like the MSI 990FXA-GD65? And if you say 'yes' to the 970 Gaming, would it be still a viable option if I want to overclock the FX8350 (not sure if I'll do it).

Thank you both for sharing your thoughts.
@Nichrome: You're right that the mobo is vital. So getting a 990FX just makes sense. It's just because the hardware features of the 970 Gaming are just so good. Nice onboard sound, integrated headphone amplifier, nice network card, etc. It's mouth-watering so to speak I just need to be certain
@flobelix: I hoped that someone would say that, being it the last chapter of AM3+, they would make a better thermal design.
I'll think I have to give it a bit more thought. Or probably wait a bit until something is said about the thermal design. It's just that I really like the hardware features of the 970 Gaming
Again thank you!

MSI 970 GAMING CPU Voltage

Hello all.
I have a problem with my CPU voltage and OC'ing.
First little backround, I did have Gigabyte GA-ma770-UD3 (rev2.1) before i upgraded to MSI 970 Gaming. I was able to OC The 1600T CPU to 4000MHz with 1.55V and it was prime95 stable 24h, but i kept CPU clock at 3800MHz 1.45V prime95 stable 24h as i didnt want to kill my CPU beacause of high voltage, oh and was using 4x1gb DDR2 900MHz.
Sooo. Now i've been playing with this new mobo, and im little confused. My CPU VCORE is 1.392V, voltage setting set AUTO on BIOS, my previous build with gigabyte mobo had this set to 1.350V on AUTO in BIOS.
Could the "wrong voltage" value be because of my prosessor is "AMD Processor Model Unknown" in CPU-Z and BIOS says the same.
Also the whole overclocking is not fun anymore, seems that i cant achieve any higher STABLE OC than 3700MHz and that takes too much voltage, around 1.5V.
I really feel that there is something wrong with the mobo or the bios, as i have tried OC'ing with my old motherboard and i can OC my CPU well better than with my current MSI 970 Gaming. And i think this mobo should do better or atleast equal to my old mobo.

you have to make sure that your CPU could be properly recognize in the bios first

MSI 970 Gaming motherbaord temperature parameters

So here is the deal I've been using MSI 970 Gaming motherboard for a couple months everything is OK except it's very annoying to measure temperature for AMD cpu and processor. I'm using four different programs to determine the approx value for temperature.
1. HwInfo
2. CPUID HWmonitor
3. MSI Command center
4. Core Temp
Certainly reading from Hwinfo and CPUID HWmonitor is matching with MSI command center reading , so I assume that it's CPU and Motherbaord temperature , but what is the TMPIN1 in CPUID HWmonitor or CPU (green boxed) in HWinfo. I know that different board has different sensors for that purpose. So anyone can help with that confusion?

Quote from: Chike on 01-March-15, 12:49:26
3rd party software is generic and has no knowledge about which sensors are actually connected and which are not.
There is no point worrying about it. With HWiNFO it is easy to hide irrelevant sensors.
What is more disturbing is the fact that "CPU0/Package" temperature is much lower than "CPU", obviously that is not possible, or shouldn't be as the core is where the heat comes from. CPU may be 1c above due to sensors accuracy but not 30c off.
This seems to a bug/error in both HWiNFO and Core Temp (I don't see thos sensors in HWMonitor). You can direct this issue to the developers.
I know it's a common issue with AMD for lower temp reading but what is the general idea about that green boxed reading? is it socket or northbridge? Certainly two of them are matching with MSI command center reading so i guess MOTHERBOARD is MOTHERBOARD and CPU is CPU but there is a confusion with that middle value.

MSI 970 gaming g4 overclocking question

Hi,
I'm OC'ing my new MSI 970 card with Afterburner and have a few basic questions:
1. GPU-Z says I'm limited by Vrel. What does this mean exactly? My interpretation is that this is the max boost clock at the set voltage (provided there are no temp/TDP limits too)?
2. Even at 99% GPU load and 1518Mhz boost clock (my max stable), my max TDP is around 94%. Does this sound right?
3. Is it possible to reach a better overclock if *I don't* apply overvoltage? Just wondering if lower voltage / temps could actually result in better results and whether I should experiment with stock voltage.
Thanks.

1. GPU-Z says I'm limited by Vrel. What does this mean exactly? My interpretation is that this is the max boost clock at the set voltage (provided there are no temp/TDP limits too)?
Your interpretation is correct. Indeed the gpu can't boost without limits. At a certain voltage it can't boost higher without getting unstable so stops itself at this point. GPU-Z's perfcap information displayed is then Vrel.

2. Even at 99% GPU load and 1518Mhz boost clock (my max stable), my max TDP is around 94%. Does this sound right?
Yes, it is and it is very good as well considering the high clockrate. Your card has a great boost potential.

3. Is it possible to reach a better overclock if *I don't* apply overvoltage? Just wondering if lower voltage / temps could actually result in better results and whether I should experiment with stock voltage.
Not really. Of course a lower voltage will lead to a lower TDP value but as you are below 100% anyway you are not limited there. You should simply check for the lowest voltage you can run oc and clock it further until it gets unstable then apply extra voltage until it gets stable again. Once you can't get the gpu stable either way you are at it's total limit if temps or TDP won't stop you before.
