MSI b85m g43 questions

i was supposed to buy the model mentioned above a few weeks ago but had a few problems ...now im planning to buy it and have a few questions after reading customer reviews-
1.does the board support this memory-Corsair DDR3 4 GB(1 x 4GB) PC RAM (CMV4GX3M1A1600C11)?also, if i install one of these now and another(same one)later will they work together properly?
2.i saw that the msi gtx 750 2gb oc edition(i have this one) is not in the MB's vga support list...is it really not supported?
3.i have a seagate barracuda 5400 rpm attached to my current ms 7525 mobo....will the hard drive be compatible with a newer SATA 6 gbps?
4..does it have a slot for a dvd writer(which is already inside the case) connection?
Thanks for the help

got it...another thing-i have a retail win 7 ultimate...i know ill have to install windows again but can i custom install it to a partition without having to delete the rest of my files?or do i have to format the whole disk?
Upgrading from Windows XP (probably Windows 7 Home etc.) should also be possible
Depend on what you had before, you may not need to format the whole disk but you will at least need to delete the windows directory an Programs/Programs(x86) (somehow, this cannot be done from windows).

MSI B85M-G43 can't install Windows 7. Hard disk not detected.

Hi,
I just built a new computer for the first time. I followed the instructions and did everything correctly. but am unable to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. Hard disk isn't always detected during the installation.
But when it appeared in the "Where do you want to install Windows" list along with system, I tried to format the hard disk and got a message "Failed to format the select partition. [Error 0x80070057]."
Then I restarted the computer, the hard disk no longer displayed in the list, so I put motherboard driver disc and clicked on Load Driver and opened Storage\Intel\PCH_12.0\f6flpy-x64. It loaded, then I got a message saying "To continue installation, use the Load Driver option to install 32-bit and signed 64-bit drivers. Installing an unsigned 64-bit device driver is not supported and might result in an unusable Windows installation."
I restarted again and disabled Driver Signature Enforcement, but it didn't help. I still got the same message.
In the computer case I have these devices:
- MSI B85M-G43, Socket-1150
- Intel Core i5-4430 Processor
- Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 8GB
- MSI GeForce GTX 650Ti BOOST 1GB
- Cooler Master GX 550W PSU
- WD Desktop Green 1TB
- SuperMulti 16X DVD(+/-)R/RW 12X RAM (+/-)R DL LightScribe SATA drive
Everything is plugged in correctly. Hard disk connector plugged in SATA 1 and DVD -> SATA 2.
The installation is pretty slow, regardless if i install it via USB or x16 DVD. All except DVD and hard disk are disabled. It's also worth to mention that even DVD and USB aren't always detected in the click BIOS.
So I'm wondering if anyone here can help me? Thanks

Hi and
1: What BIOS version you have? .. Have you tryed to downgrade/upgrade it already?
2: Have you tryed it in those SATA 2 ports? ...is it same strory?
- On SATA there aint any master or Slave like on IDE so if you are under same controller it dosent mutter what port you use on what device.
Note: SATA 3 Ports are faster then SATA2 ports, but even SATA 1 can handel your DVD or HDD. So no lose if you need to use SATA 2 ports.
Hope this get you foward! Cheers Mummy

MSI B85M-G43 could not detect Gigabyte R929OC 4GB 3X Windforce

I recently build a new PC a month ago and have been using it for 3 weeks then random black screens problem started to occur.
It started right around the time after I updated to catalyst 14.4 w/o the beta. At the same time i noticed windows update has updated some files which i did not note down what it was. Also Noticed that startup list had some new programs running.
I proceeded to disable the programs in startup, undo the latest windows update and finally reinstalled windows 8.1
Nothin works and I am left with black screen, which i realised that to be actually the mobo not detecting the card once i got a vga screen plugged in to mobo onboard graphics and went to BIOs to see.
Previously my BIOs were updated to latest through the liveupdate 5 program, which itself updated to liveupdate 6. For some reason I dont like programmes sitting at the back constantly checking for updates, so after updating those, I deleted all those programs. The updates also took forever to download, I figured i will download/install individually in future. Now that I do a search there is no live update 6?
Just to make sure, I have reflashed the BIOs to E7823IMS v3.6 again through the m-flash inside BIOs, but did not choose the BIOs + ME option as i dont know what it is. After reboot, BIOs version remained there, checked for ME and there's the version number 9.0.21.1462.
BIOs version: E7823IMS v3.6
ME version: 9.0.21.1462
Prior to the Win8.1 reinstall, my OS was sitting on my SSD in non UEFI mode, I chose to install in non-uefi as i dont know what it was then. When i tried to reinstall, somehow the boot priority identified the SSD as UEFI first, so i wanted to give it a try and proceeded to install win8.1 in UEFI until reboot failed. Then I decided to installed my win8.1 on my HD in non UEFI instead. The system, as usual, works using the integrated graphics and mobo could not detect the graphics card in the only PCIe 3.0 x16 slot. Should I plug it into the PCIe 2.0 x16 slot and try, It never occur to me until now as I thought that was the only slot my graphics card could use.
Please help
Here are my specs:
MSI B85M-G43
Intel i7-4770 3.4GHz
G.Skill Ripjaw 1600MHz (2 x 8)MB Blue
SSD Samsung Evolution 240GB
WD 1TB Blue
Gigabyte R929OC 4GB 3X Windforce
LG 24x DVD Writer
Corsair Carbide Air 540 Case
SeaSonic G-750 80+ GOLD Power Supply
ASUS PCE-N53 PCI-E Adapter
Windows 8.1 OEM
Qnix QX2710 Evolution II 27" matte PLS monitor (uses dual-DVI-D connector only)

try to update your bios again but use the BIOS + ME option as it will flash not only your bios but Intel ME at the same time.
Note: Don't remove your USB during bios flash as the system will restart for I think around 2 times and plugging out USB might kill the MB bios.
Did you modify any settings in the bios setup??
If updating bios not can't work, try to plug your card to second PCIE slot and see if it could boot or not.

You should be able to, with BIOS v3.7 or maybe later though there is no mention of it on support page.

Re: dmidecode reports more PCI slots than available in MSI B85M-G43 motherboard

Odd then that it shows correct info for those slots on my MB and not yours.

1866mhz Memory in B85M-G43

Hey,
I was planning to purchase a B85M-G43 motherboard soon. My question is, with an i5-4670, will the motherboard work with 1866mhz memory at that speed.
Thank you.

Dear Gg61,
Based on Intel SPEC, B85 does not support CPU overclocking. That is, the system will run 1600Mhz even when you populate 1866Mhz.
If you want to run 1866Mhz, please choose Z87M-G43.

Hope this information is helpful for you.

MSI H87-G43 Gaming VGA Boost?

I'm not good at English

2.Can MSI VGA Boost feature work with other brand graphics card? or it only work with MSI Graphics card ?
3.If I only play games with out overclocking which board should i buy for worthiness? MSI H87-G43 Gaming or MSI H87-G43

1.Is "VGA Boost" feature = overclocking?
Yes, although just a little oc.
Quote
2.Can MSI VGA Boost feature work with other brand graphics card? or it only work with MSI Graphics card ?
Only with MSI vgas of the Gaming series (= even other MSI vgas won't work)
Quote
3.If I only play games with out overclocking which board should i buy for worthiness? MSI H87-G43 Gaming or MSI H87-G43
Choose what you like. Both are H87 boards hence no cpu oc possible anyway. VGA boost is not really worth buying a board for. The Gaming board features other extras like Killer LAN and enhanced onboard sound.

B85M-G43 CPU Support

Hi all I'm thinking to buy mobo B85M-G43 along with celeron g1820.
The problem is that in CPU support list there is no celerons but in spec page I see this
Supports 4th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 / Core™ i5 / Core™ i3 / Pentium® / Celeron® processors for LGA 1150 socket
It is intresting because all other mobos with b85 seems to have celeron suppot in official msi cpu list.
If there is some tech guy form msi in this forum could you check this?
And if this mobo doesn't support this cpu what all you could recommend with similar price and features?
Thanks

MSI B85-G43 and i5-4460

Hello
I'm planing to buy a new computer set with that motherboard MSI B85-G43 and i5-4460. On official MSI site I read Haswell-Refresh processors
are supported from Bios v3.7. There is my question here. Will the i5-4460 boot with a MSI B85-G43? I mean can I able to enter to BIOS and update it with a new version?
I don't have an older processor which work and supported on 100% on this motherboard.

Thanks for answer and I think I will take standard Haswell instead Haswell Refresh. I don't want to have any problems. i5-4570 should be fine.
Anyway or btw. Is RAM memory Crucial Ballistix 2x4GB (BLS2CP4G3D1609DS1S00CEU) supported on this motherboard? I didn't see them on list (maybe is out of date) so I want to ask before buy.
edit// I found Crucial Ballistix is supported https://pcpartpicker.com/parts/memory/?compatible_with=msi-motherboard-b85mg43

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 Z77A-G43 DRAM underclocking

hello guys, for some reason my DRAM on my MSI Z77A-G43 board underclocks itself.
i went into my bios and set it to run at 1600 mHz but when i use CPU-Z to check my actual DRAM speed it is only at 800 mHz.
so here is my questions, how does this happen and how can i fix it?
link for my current settings:

if not already done, update your bios to the latest.
then after that, go to bios, disable x.m.p., set (relating ram) everything auto, but select 1600 mhz for your ram, and then remember to LINK the timings if u have 2 or more ram sticks, now set the timings, 9-9-9-20 (or 22, or 24), and u should be fine.
x.m.p. is crap, 1) it feeds too much voltage 2) it sets the worst timings.

MSI Z77A-G43 crossfire?

i got a quick 1
can the MSI Z77A-G43 run dual crossfire yes or no?
can't find a soilid answer on the main website saying yes or no but looking at the express slots i think
just don't want to make a mistake.
i'm doing some searching for a clan mate not to well known in pc building.

I have the same question...? Do you mean 'dual' Crossfire as in 4 Videocards.. or 2 Videocards in PCI_E2 & PCI_E4?
The answer is... this board can run 2 cards in Crossfire. In E2 & E4 as explained in the owners manual.
You can not use the other slots for CrossFire.
Tell your Clan Mate..that All are welcome here, and not to think any question is unable to be asked. We were All newbee's at one point in time.. and a lot of us still are not experts. We just like to help and be helped.
Plus if the posting guide is read, it will be learned that going to 'Profile' and listing the PCs equipment will give us better information about the PC, to be able to help better.
Welcome, Good Luck
