MSI Big Bang Marshall B3 RAM and VGA card compatibility question

Hello
I am thinking about upgrading my RAM and VGA card but will those be compatible with my mobo?
Zotac GTX680 AMP Edition and GSkill Ripjaws 4x8GB F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL kit.

Hello
I am using Corsair 850W PSU and my BIOS version is 1.5. I made an error by installing v3.0 BIOS but thanks to dual BIOS feature I was able to save my system.
I am thinking about buying those RAMs because there is a great discount on Turkey at the moment. (Nearly half price of other competitors)

MSI Big Bang Marshal - Questions

Hello all
I am new here and I have been doing research on components for a new computer I am making a shopping list for. I have a few questions I have not been able to find any information online. Here goes
1. Anything specific I should know about the motherboard other then whats in the specs? Problems, quirks, etc?
2. Does the motherboard only support 2x Dual Video cards like 2x Nvidia GTX 590 or can I use 4x Nvidia GTX 480s?
3. P67 motherboards with the nf200 on them support 24 pci-e lanes. if I use:
PCI_E1 - 8x
PCI_E3 - 8x
PCI_E5 - 8x
PCI_E7 - 8x
Makes up 24
But there are still:
PCI_E2 - 1x
PCI_E4 - 1x
PCI_E6 - 1x
PCI_E8 - 1x
Left. Does that mean there are no lanes left and I coudnt even fill anything in the other 4 slots like PCI-E Sound, etc?
4. If you do Dual, Tri, Quad-SLI and have a PhysX card, how many PCI-E lanes will your PhysX card consume? Is it set by the NVIDIA control panel, the number of lanes of the chipset divided by the mount of video cards or by the card itself?
5. When people say Dual, Tri, Quad-SLI +PhysX, does it mean (Dual -1(PhysX), Tri -1(PhysX), Quad -1(PhysX) or does it mean (Dual +1, Tri +1, Quad +1)?
6. I know Scalability of increasing arrays of video cards is pretty poor, but could I do Quad SLI +PhysX using the MSI Big Bang Marshal?
7. Which is most advantageous, Tri SLI +PhysX, Quad SLI, Quad SLI +PhysX?
8. Sorry, probably not related, but I wanted to do Raid with SSD's for very fast reads and writes yet have redundancy. I wanted to get some OCZ Vertex 3s and I was reading about how Raid 5 was interesting but apparently Raid 5 increases the degredation of SSD? Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions on best raid configurations?
Thank you for all of your help

By my count, that makes 32 lanes. If not done so, a lot of pre preparation information can be gathered at the MSI Global Website. All the basic & more detailed information can be found there. The downloadable pdf manual is usually much more comprehensive than the manual that comes with the board as well, & can probably answer a lot of your questions. I don't believe the board can do Quad GTX 480 SLI.

MSI big bang marshal B3 HECI pointer mismatch

Hi all
I have a MSI big bang marshal B3 with a 2600K cpu, i flashed the motherboard with 3.1 and 3.0 bios but can't change cpu multiplier
Finally i went back to 1.5 bios and all is good but now i have the "HECI pointer mismatch" at boot and can't find my secondary HDD in Windows.
I tried the MSI USB flashing Tools but same problem
Thanks to all for your help

You have this issue due to a downgrade without a special archive required. It is actually recommended to use bios 3.1 any way. Note that you need to use +/- keys of numpad to alter core ratio in later versions.

For BIOS Update: >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<

Hey guys real quick. So after updating to the new 7670IMS>310 bios so that I may use my GTX780s, I reinstalled with windows 8. Everything was fine until I was on teamviewer just last nite and upon switcing sides my bios got corrupted. How do I know you ask? Upon getting back into windows my LANS did not work so I had not internet connection. I tried uninstalling it from Device Manager and deleting it. After a few clrmos. I thought I would switch over to the other bios and see if the LAN works and it does because of the status lights because now it lights up. So I switch back to main bios and LAN works but it would not post whatsoever and just cycles through post finally ending with a " DE ". Not sure what the new LED DEBUG codes are but if someone could post it would be nice to be able to refer to it.
Anyways on win 8, no matter what it will not let me into windows And when it looks like it will...gives me "your pc ran into problems and we are collecting data and we'll restart after" message. After a few of these wonderful messages, I decided I was going to flash my bios again. It did look like I was sucessful until after restart it did the same thing. Going through post I saw 19,15 then shuts off. Does this and ends with "DE" pc still on but nothing. No windows.
I got lucky a few times and was able to get into my bios and decided I was going back to Win 7 64......I put the good ole XFX6990 back in and got windows 7 to reinstall and continue to flash my bios to an older one. I used your method before and it work> from 3.0 back to 1.5 then from 1.5 back to 1.2 for OC purposes. So i tried that method but it looked like it just reflash it with 3.1, odd.
So after a few restarts everything seems fine, no cycles just normal. When I reboot normal process no double boots or cycles this time so I thought hey, that fixed my corrupted bios somehow. I thought I gotten lucky.... So I switch out the good old 6990 and in with my 780s. Reinstalled win 7 and upon completion of windows update. Again with the cycles of 19,15 turns off does this again over and over like 5 or 6 times and ends with "DE"
And this is where I'm at atm. I remember when I DL'd the flasher and bios. I only saw 2 files which was " VALVE CHECK AND E7670IMS.310".
When I tried to do it again with the same method as the first I have "
#BIOS
#BK_6.Z7
#EFIFLASH
#MSIHQ(icon)
#MSIHQ_INFO
#MT420"
This time it does not go through the same when flashing, just tells me bios update complete. I've done this a million times and all have been successful.
Basically I'm still on 3.1 bios but I 'm curious as what other methods do you suggest I try now? I have left everything alone after reinstalling windows and updates. Everything seems okay, reboots fine no cycles and still get the random hit or miss with 15,19 turns off cycles and ends with "DE". Would like to get a resolution if possible. Thank you and I know I said real quick right, but really. Thanks for any help.
I'm going nuts!!

MSI Big Bang XPower II - Firewire and PCI issues

Hi all,
yesterday i recieved my new MSI Big Bang XPower II and got some really strange issues:
First of all ill let you know my hardware:
MSI Big Bang XPower II (BIOS v1.4) new
Intel I7 Extreme 3960X new
G.SKILL 64GB RAM Kit 1600 new
Palit NVIDIA GTX 680 - 4096 near new
3 x RME Soundcards used but okay
7 x WD 2TB SATA where 3 are OS Systems and 4 are Storage used but okay
Be Quiet Dark Power 1200W new
1 Problem:
There is absolutely no Firewire available. I tested the onboard connection (which is at the backplate) and i also tested the extension connection with a additional firewire slot. Also it seems that wether Windows nor Linux is recognizing the firewire at all. The strange thing is that i recieved this new board after i send the first one back to my reseller with exactly the same problem!!! I also take a look into the BIOS if there is any option i need to activate but as far as i see there is nothing to set for 1394?
2 Problem:
As you can read above i use my GTX680 and all 3 RME Soundcards each with one PCI Slot. But some of the slots are not working fine. If i, for example mount my GTX680 to Slot 1 and want to mount my first RME Souncard to slot 4 (2 and 3 are covered under my GTX680) its not working. If i try it in slot 6 for example, the soundcard works fine.
BUT:
The slot 4 is not damaged cause if i set my GTX680 to slot 8 and retry my RME Cards in slot 4 its working...
Never had that before!
I connected the 24pin ATX and both 8pin connectors (the 4pin additional connector for the graphics is not used).
Would be nice if someone guiding me through the dark

With so many components and shared resources, you are gambling with IORQs and I/O addressing space.
Mmmhmm i dont thought about getting interrupts, MSI is offering the board with that configration/features and if there is one user out who try to use the board near to the fullest it should of course work or not?!

MSI Big Bang Marshall (Intel P67) - MSI ClickBIOS II?

Hello, MSI related population of the planet.
I would like to ask if there is a BIOS ClickBIOS v2 for the motherboard Big Bang Marshall?
MSI only informs there is a ClickBIOS and it looks like the 1st generation. However, on other motherboards
which were launched approximately at the same time (such as Z68A-GD65 or Z68A-GD80) there is a 2nd
version of MSI ClickBIOS. My question is, if the MSI ClickBIOS II is also available for Big Bang Marshall board?
I thank you kindly for your answer and wish you a nice rest of the day!
Best regards,
lazyone1

Best way to find out may be in contacting MSI Technical directly. Only the Z68 G3's had Click II, not the first released Z68 B3's.

MSI Big Bang-XPower, Corsair AX1200W and 6-pin motherboard connector

Hello, I apologize if this has been answered but I didn't seem to find it on the forums. I have the Corsair AX1200 power supply and the MSI Big Bang-XPower motherboard. The board has two ATX 8-pin connectors. I know that the second one is only needed if you are doing serious overcloking. But I assume it's ok to plug both in whether or not I'm overclocking?? I see the AX1200 has two EPS/ATX 8-4 pin connectors so I am fine there.
My real question is that the mother board also has an ATX 6-pin connector for the graphics card. Firstly, is this needed since the graphics card has it's own power connector (I have the EVGA SuperClocked 015-P3-1582-AR GeForce GTX 580). The card needs a PCI-E 6 pin and an 8 pin connector. I see the AX1200 has six 6+2 pin connectors so I believe I'm fine there.
But for the motherboard connector, can i use one of the PCE-E 6+2 pin connectors (just 6 pins obviously), or is this not good sine the connector is not labeled as an ATX connector?
Thank you.

Hi,
Bumping this as it is the question I have. How does the motherboard access this power from the EPS? It is constantly available to the cpu? Would it not be better to plug in the 2x8 pin EPS anyway as it gives a greater redundancy?
I am sorry if this is a stupid question but I recently got flamed on a forum for carrying on about connecting the EPS cables up to my Corsair Ax850. The flamers carried on and on about how I would never need to use the EPS unless it was LN2 cooling.
I cannot see the harm in it but I would like to understand computer power supplies a bit more and how exactly they work. For example why do some vid cards have 6 pin and other 8 pin when it looks as if both plugs just have a 12 volt lead on one row and the other row a ground lead?
Anyhoo.
Happy first post to me.

My graphics lost its mojo on big bang marshal.

Things were going along quite happily until a week or 2 ago when things started lagging, programs not quite opening as quick as they used to, lags in web browser scrolling that sort of thing. SSD was getting full so it got the business ( properly wiped with ocz tools and windows reinstalled ). Things were still laggy so I run a 3dmark... I lost 1/3 of my graphics power.
Where I was getting 36k on vantage, Im now getting 24k. Ive tried all sorts of things and 3dmark scores are still low. When Im running graphics apps, both cores are working at 100% but the temps are not getting that high. According to afterburner the clocks and shaders are the right speeds. Everything seems fine but its not quite.
My rig...
8gb of mushkin 2133 ( running at 1600 )
2600k @ 4.8 ( run at 5.0 for benchies. Still not got around to water yet )

http://3dmark.com/3dmv/4064981 << the other card in slot 1
Single card speeds are about 14-15k, normal speeds should be about 20k.
GPU-Z says this http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/dzm44/
the main difference I can see between the first 2 links (besides obviously driver version ) is the amount of video ram being reported. The low score reports 4gb and the fast score reports 2gb. Its like xfire isnt working properly. Righto, if anyone has any ideas, I would be all ears and love to hear them.

i did update the firmware and reinstall the driver as u suggest and the problem persist

MSI Big Bang-XPower New Build Compatibility Questons

I am doing my first build, and do not see several components I have selected (some already purchased) for my new system in the MSI compatibility literature for the Motherboard. Can someone please advise if any of the below components will cause issues? I have done much research and believe I am OK, but would like to have confirmation before proceeding. As an FYI, I will be doing video editing with the new system:
1.) Motherboard: MSI Big Bang-XPower LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard (purchased)
2.) Video Card: MSI N470GTX Twin Frozr II GeForce GTX 470 (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card (purchased)
3.) OS Drive: Western Digital VelociRaptor WD6000HLHX 600GB 10000 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive (purchased)
(I will also have four 1TB drives in raid "10" - 7200 RPM Western Digital SATA 3.0 Gb/s for data storage, working files, etc.) (to be purchased)
4.) CPU: Intel Core i7-950 Bloomfield 3.06GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor BX80601950 (purchased)
5.) Memory: This one I would like confirmation on but I believe it will work (I like that it is Cas Latency 7 and know I will pay a few more $ for this):
G.SKILL Trident+ Turbulence II 12GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL7T-12GBTDD
DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Timing 7-8-7-24 Cas Latency 7
Voltage: 1.65V
Multi-channel Kit: Triple Channel Kit
Timing: 7-8-7-24
Model #: F3-12800CL7T-12GBTDD
Item #: N82E16820231381
6.) OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (purchased)
7.) The other items are fairly straight forward.
Any feedback on the above will be greatly appreciated, especially the memory.

I have two follow-up items from the above (one power supply and one RAM):
1.) I Am between the following 2 power supplies:
- CORSAIR HX Series CMPSU-850HX 850W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 80 PLUS SILVER Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply ($169.99)
- CORSAIR Professional Series AX850 850W ATX12V v2.31 / EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply ($194.99)
I am leaning toward the first one, I do not believe the second is worth $25 more - comments???
2.) I spent another few hours on RAM selection today. This is driving my crazy...
I spent time today with Intel concerning RAM for the Intel Core i7-950 Bloomfield - here is a cc of my log (they obviously have only one recommendation):
You are now chatting with 'Allan'
Allan: Hello. Thank you for using the Intel Customer Support chat service. We are glad to be of service. How can I help you today?
sldwaa: I just purchased in i7-950 Bloomfield and am in the process of purchasing the RAM. I have an MSI Big Bang X-Power MOBO and am running Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. I have read many posts and Intel spec sheets and I understand Intel does not recommend anything other than 1066 / 1.5v VDIMM. Now for my question as I am new to purchasing ram and building PCs. Here are my questions:
1.) I am deciding between 1066 and 1600. The most posts recommend 1600. The obvious alternative is the Intel recommended 1066. I believe if I do not over clock, 1066 will be the ticket. If I buy the 1600, then I can only achieve this by over clocking - correct?
2.) If I buy 1600 and do not over clock, it will perform at 1066 without any negative effects - is this correct? This is assuming XMP is not enabled. I will not be a heavy over clocker, but want the capability just in case.
Allan: the processor supports DDR3-800/1066 at 1.5V
Allan: no other memory is supported... no matter if the board supports 1600 or even 2000mhz
Allan: I remind you that the memory controller is on the processor, this is not integrated on the board
sldwaa: Understood. Follow up question - If I purchase 1066 with the fastest CAS Latency I can find (possibly 7), can I over clock the 1066 (understanding the negative potential effects) or would I still need the 1600 to achieve any over clocking capability?
Allan: I am afraid I cannot answer that... I cannot comment anything about over clocking
Allan: you will need to search this information on Internet
sldwaa: OK - to summarize you only recommend 1066 at 1.5VDIMM. Anything else, I am on my own, including risks of overheating and instability = correct?
Allan: that is exactly correct
Allan: Intel recommends DDR3-800/1066 at 1.5V
That being said, I guess I am between 1066 with the lowest CAS Letency I can find at 3x4GB, or go with the 1600 (I researched and agree 3x4GB is better than 6x2GB). As intel is against the second, based on what I am reading, I am leaning toward 1066. If so, can I overclock the 1066 to something higher or is this the max speed? Help!

MSI Big Bang-XPower II More MB RAM than the CPU can handle...

I understand reading in a few forum post :" By making more memory available to the system more data can be cached in RAM, so there will be less hard drive activity, and less swapping to memory so your system will perform better." But what happen when motherboard for a desktop that supports( and had install) more RAM than the processor can handle?(aka:processor Max Memory Size).
Please comment in this configuration.as I 'm looking for a MB than offer me the more SATA6 connection i found a few available using LGA2011 socket (MSI Big Bang-XPower II LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6GB/s USB 3.0 XL ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS) than support 128GB. As I understand the processor Intel® Core™ i7-3930K Processor only work with 64GB.
Is there any advantage to have a MB that hold a bigger RAM capacity than the CPU? If so, how can this be translate using in a program like Adobe After Effects, RAM preview? thank

More Memory doe's not make it faster as its Volatile Memory (more RAM but it has to be run at much slower speeds) that is very short term and is just a buffer for active Programs and files it Caches there while its active but in no way improves system speed (as it has to be clocked slower to allow the IMC on the CPU to cope with it)! more memory just allows more Active Large programs and files open at the same time and huge amount of ram will only really be of benefit for things like Video Editing, photo editing and 3D rendering as those take alot of ram to allow all the computations that the CPU does to be held for quick access but only when they are active!
having more RAM then your CPU can Handel is a VERY BAD IDEA as it will just refuse to even post or in very rare cases damage the CPU's IMC leading to a dead CPU!
why MSI have done that is for possible later 2011 CPU's that may allow the 128GB of RAM limit to be used but currently they do not exist currently as X79 is a more professional grade Platform that will probably be around for years to come (may be used for many upgrade cycles and may eventually have a cpu that can use 128GB or ram) and who knows what will happen with Intel CPU's in that time frame! (more of a possible forward compatibility thing as its a very high end platform)
as for after effects it uses RAM for holding Render Files so in theory more ram will just allow it to render Larger files that are more complex without hitting the Available Ram ceiling that your computer has but it will not render any faster as a result it just gives it more headroom to work in!
so overall more ram = more Active space available & no increase in speed (actually maybe a drop in speed as it needs to run slower causing LAG/Latency) so it all depends what is important to you here to whether more ram is of any benefit or just a hindrance but that is down to your own use case scenario!

MSI big bang xpower can't see 32GB ram

Hi,
I installed 2 sets of triple channel memory on my X58 MSI big bang board a while back. All 32GB was seen and it was running smooth. One day, I saw that only 24GB was seen by windows. I've ran multiple tests, all slots are reporting ram in them and everything looks fine. I was reading in the manual that 24GB is that max that this board can handle. Why, at one point, I was seeing all 32GB detected???
MSI big bang X58 bios v1.6, i7 950, windows 7 ultimate x64
Corsair vengeance 16GB x 2 kits = 32GB Model CMZ12GX3M3A1600C9
Corsair AX850
Sapphire AMD 6970 dual bios
Corsair F120 x2 in raid 0 configuration
If CPU, RAM or GPU is overcloclocked please include that info and the speeds.
On another note, running 4.2 i7-950 is awesome
Thanks for helping

Exactly, it is a 12GB-Kit: CMZ12GX3M3A1600C9

The CPU's memory controller supports 24GB max. and you have two 12GB kits which will give you exactly 24GB of RAM. Those are two consistant facts that indicate that your own memory seems to be inaccurate.
Quote
I was reading in the manual that 24GB is that max that this board can handle.
The board probably doesn't care as the memory controller is part of the processor. The 24GB memory limit is an Intel limitation:
http://ark.intel.com/products/37150
Also, with 6 modules, each module would have to have a capacity of 32GB / 6 = 5.333333333 GB, which is impossible (well, not impossible, but nobody builds such modules).
As far as I know, there are also no 5GB or 6GB modules out there, only 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB sticks, which means the possibilities with 6 memory sticks are only a few:
6 x 1GB = 6GB
6 x 2GB = 12 GB
6 x 4GB = 24 GB
6 x 8GB = 48 GB
So, again, your remembrance of those 32GB is pretty much an impossible one.

Aha, but how windows changes will affect BIOS PCI-e version reading?
etc: this one which you said:

You can see the PCI-e Version activated before the Xpower BIOS Screen shows off (the where it show all data about the ASMedai chip ...
or this still shows 2.0 during bios post screen?

MSI BIG BANG XPOWER II VIDEO Ooutput / BIOS problem

HELLO
recently i Bought BBXPII MOBO and I install ALL when i start it up the Mobo starts no issues but the monitor was on stand by ;/
I read some comments and i see this MOBO don't support my Processor on the original version of the BIOS crap I have I7 4820K ;/
I bought new chip with the newest Version of the BIOS i swap it with the CHIP Original installed I Clear the CMOS and press multi BIOS button then i plug in my PSU
NOTHING monitor is still on stand by i check with 3 Video cards all are working with my sec PC no issues
i don't know what to do that's sec MOBO first one was faulty and after switching it on one of the chips just spark MSI swap it for new one and that one is not working to :(

HELLO
Again ME I think its a warning for a lot of you
Finely MSI contacted me and i get my RAM nr I spend 40£ to send the motherboard to MSI in Netherland yee i was happy someone will deal with the problem I have and they will update my BIOS to make sure my CPU will be compatible with the Mobo.
Today I receive my MOBO back I was really happy i connect all and i get in SHock nothing the same issue no Video output Monitor stays black just like was before the debug panel is off nothing running
i check and the serial nr of the MOBO is different what mean its total new Mobo and probably coz i cant get it running its same old BIOS i spend 40£ probably to swap new Motherboard for New Motherboard but not to fix the issue and the issue was simple i need version of bios 2.3 or higher to make it work with my CPU I7-4820K
now I don't know what to do the shop where I buy the Mobo dont want to help me and when i ask for my money back they seid its after the 30 days period and i cant get refund i just wasted 284£ all in for nothing a big black garbage what taking only space in my room now with MSI LOGO ON IT
In MSI eyes People don't buy new rigs they just upgrade stuff
it should be like that
I was should have old PC with I7-3930K and then i decide to buy new processor that how MSI Think (Why to buy 3820k or 3930k when u can get 4820 or 4930k for allmost the same price ? )
but my mistake was i buy new processor and new Motherboard and cant get it run because in that NEW MOBO is 1.2 Ver of BIOS and without having old CPU u cant update :(
Best Regards to everyone

I have tried to run it with 1 ram stick, 1 sata. Second motherboard i have bought in 1 month. (not sure whats wrong with the other one). Thanks for anything that can help me!

Remove the graphics card, leave 1 RAM stick inside and test outside of the case. Clearing CMOS might be worth a try together with this too. >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Also you seem to mix RAM, unless you stated these to say you've tested both kits?
If still no go, take the CPU out and have a look if you can find any bent pins on the CPU socket.

MSI BIG BANG Xpower II boot issue - LED code 9A

Hello all,
I am facing to issue after BIOS update from 2.6 to 2.7. After update was machine working properly. But after one crash of OS cant boot at all. Crash was probably caused by overloading GPUs but there were no issue with cards and this board during 3 weeks of 100% GPU and CPU load. No video (connected only one GPU card), no Numlock key/led is working (this is good test if PC is reacting even no picture).
Board: MSI BIG BANG XPOWER II
Bios: Version 2.7
VGA: 4x AMD SAPPHIRE Radeon R9 290x
PSU: Silverstone 1500W (gold)
CPU: Intel Core i7-4930K 3.4GHz (3.9GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 2011
MEM: 1x Kingston 8GB DDR3 1600MHz CL10 HyperX blu Edition
HDD: WD Blue 256gb 5400
COOLER: NOCTUA NH-D14
OC: 3.9GHz
OS: Windows 8.1 64bit Professional
Tried
- switch BIOS from A to B also C (with small switch).
- cleared Cmos with onboard button.
- removed Battery for a while
System start booting and stuck always on 9a LED code.
From manual it looks like it is USB, SATA initialisation phase.
I think CPU or Mem should be fine.
Anyone who met this issue or any sollution?
I am thinking to replace this board under warranty.
Thanks for any info..

Hi Froggy,
Thanks for reply.
But I have tried disconnected all USB devices and got same LED code. If this happend because of some USB configuration in BIOS why reset of CMOS did not help?
It very well could be setting(s) in the BIOS, but I am not qualified to be of much assistance when Win 8/8.1 is involved.
