I/O Backplate upgrade option for MSI Big Bang X79

Is there anyway to purchase a padded MSI I/O Motherboard backplate? EVGA makes a really nice I/O padded backplate for their EVGA X79 FTW Motherboards so i was hoping MSI had it available has an optional purchase or upgrade? The padding is on the back side where the motherboard presses against the I/O backplate inside the case.
Also, my brand new retail box set did not come with the M-Connectors has shown. Should i contact MSI via support and have then ship a kit to me free?

The padding does nothing useful, other than look nice.
Same goes for the M-Connectors, I don't find them that useful, maybe they would be for people constantly changing mainboards in their case, but the front-panel connectors can still be directly connected to the pin-headers. If you lived in the UK, I'd happily post you mine!

MSI Big Bang XPower II X79 release date

Whats the release date for this motherboard to the UNITED STATES?
MSI Big Bang XPower II X79 LGA 2011

We don't know, we have nothing to do with MSI marketing. We are MSI product users the same as you helping each other with problems and have nothing to do directly with MSI. You would need to ask MSI. Question like that my typical answer is that you will know the release date after you see it for sale in the stores.

As a matter of fact if we knew the release dates of products like that we would post it in the forum to avoid those kind of questions all of the time.

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..

Quote from: Wigo on 21-March-14, 02:45:54
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.

MSI Big Bang xPower II PCI-e 3.0 Problem

Hey Guys
I´ve got a big problem with my Big Bang Xpower II Mainboard. Although i´ve got at PCI-e compatible (Gigabybte GTX760 OC) which is placed in PCI-e Slot 1 and PCI-e Gen 3 activated my Board doesn´t activate PCI-e 3. I´ve already tried to install the UEFI on several ways but nothing helped.
My specs:
Mainboard: MSI Big Bang xPower II
CPU: Intel I7 4820k
VGA: Gigabyte GTX760 OC
Soundcard: Creative Soundblaster Z
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Tactical 16GB 1866MHz
sry if there are Mistakes my english is not so good because im from Germany and and im still a student
thanks for your help

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 - 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?!

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 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 II can only run with 3 memory modules?

Hello there! I've just got my new system up and running. But it cant boot with 4 memory modules when there is a module in slot 7? I have a 4x8gb kit from corsair (CMP32GX3M4X1600C10), and a Msi Big Bang Xpower II..
When i start it, it just shows me the debug code "67" which is "Late Cpu Initialization" according to the "User Guide".. It stays there, for about 15 seconds, then it shuts down, and does the same, over and over..
Atm, i'm running with 3 modules, and there's no problems at all! I've testet ALL memory blocks, in another computer, and they run just fine..
What should i do?

Also, what cpu, bios version , memory type etc
Make sure the mem mods are in the proper slots for tri channel operation.

If everything comes up clean, update to the most recent bios. Only do this if your computer is stable in bios. IE You are only having crashes in windows etc.

MSI Big Bang Xpower II did not post - Debug LED Code #67

I need HELP...!
I have a problem my board did not post , did not start and i have the DEBUG LED CODE # 67 displayed.
There is my build
MSI Big Bang Xpower II X79 LGA2011
Intel Core i7 3820 LGA2011 Processor
Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 CPU Cooler System LGA2011
G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series memory (F3-12800CL-32GBZL) DDR3 1600 PC3-12800 - CL10-10-10-30 (8192MB X 4) - 32GIG located in DIMM 1-3-5-7
Gigabyte GTX570 OC Edition video card in slot PCI-E2
Western Digital Velociraptor 300GB 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s 10,000 RPM
LG BH12LS35 Blu-Ray Writer 12X BD-R 16X
Ultra LSP-750 Power Supply
Cooler Master HAF X EATX Tower Case
When I put the power on, the power supply activated fans and drives spin, all the LEDs on the motherboard light up but nothing appears on the screen.
No video signal at all and the computer stop and restrart every 15 seconds. When these reset occurs there is no beep on the speaker , nothing at all, no flashing screen either, nothing.
The DEBUG LED display a sequence of flashing numbers 19 - 60 - 19- 60 - 67 and stop showing still the number # 67 for about ten seconds and then he reset again.
I carefully followed the instruction manual for the installation, I installed the memory modules in slots 1 3 5 7, i put my video card in slot PCI-E2. all the power wire are connected correctly 1 x 24 pins ATX, 2 x 8 pins ATX, 1 X 6 pins , all the wire from the front panel are correctly connected to the m-connector in JFP1 & 2.
Did i forget something, I don’t know what the debug led code # 67 exactly mean and what i have to do to fix-it
Someone has an idea what is wrong or have any suggestion to solve this issue.
Thank's all for your help.

I followed some advice to remove the memory modules and this is actually caused by the use of memory but you will see I still have a curious bug.
I referred to the instructions manual to the letter for the choice of DIMM SLOT to put the memory module in single, double, triple and quad channels.
If I install 1 memory module in the DIMM SLOT 1 to operate in single channel, everything is normal and the motherboard POST normally and show the SETUP SCREEN.
If I install 2 memory modules in DIMM SLOT 1 & 3 to run in dual channel, everything is normal and the motherboard POST normally and show the SETUP SCREEN.
If I install three memory modules in DIMM SLOT 1 - 3 - 5 to run in triple channel, everything is normal and the motherboard POST normally and show the SETUP SCREEN.
As soon as I install four DIMMs modules mémoiredans SLOT 1 - 3 - 5 - 7 to run in quad channel, the motherboard freezes and does NOT POST and show code 67 on the debug led and has reset itself every 20 seconds.
I tried all my RAM modules alternately in both single channel and everything works normally.
I did the same thing in rotation for both dual and triple channel and everything is still normal with all fourth memory modules individually.
As soon as I put a fourth memory module it freezes and displays the code 67 or L9 dependent side as you look.
So my bug is my motherboard MSI Big Bang Xpower II do not want to work in quad channel.
Do you have any idea where I should look for, is a setting in the BIOS , I have flashed the bios to the latest version V1.5
I included the screenshot of the BIOS to see if you can notice something wrong.
Thank you

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.

MSI Big Bang XPower II - Corsair H60 Water cooling issue

So I am using a Corsair H60 water cooling on my MSI Big Bang XPower II mainboard. I have followed the correct instructions on installation but every time I turn the computer on once it its 31 it shuts down. Everything seems to be working correctly except the cooling. There are no instructions that really relate well to installation for this water cooling to this mother board so I have tried placing the pump power and the fan power on various different inputs. I have the pump just on a sys power fan and the 120mm fan blowing through the coils on the back of the machine connected to the CPU 1 head fan (as instructed in their videos). I am not 100% sure the pump is working but I know that the fan is working and the hardware overview shows it recognizes the fan.
anyone have some ideas to try to see if I can get this to work? I am also wondering if it is a faulty pump or something but it seems to be working.

Quote from: seth.eckert
I have the pump just on a sys power fan
The pump is not working. The 3-pin connector for a fan header is just for reading out pump speed. You need to power it with the molex connector.
