MSI Gaming 9 AC Faulty Wi-Fi Card

I installed an MSI Gaming 9 AC into my build not long ago, and the wifi adapter stopped all pci devices working. I just took it out and left it out as I used ethernet anyway. I (stupidly) decided to take apart the wifi module to see what was going on in there, looking for faulty wiring etc. Now I am a little bit disappointed at the gaping hole in the i/o on the motherboard and was wondering if MSI could send me a new wifi module, or maybe even an ACK one. I'm just worried I voided the warranty by taking it apart. It isn't a huge deal if they cant do this, but it would be appreciated if they could.

contact MSI and have a ask about it: >>How to contact MSI.<<

MSI Gaming App - Uses wrong Graphics Card.

Hello. I recently bought a MSI 970 4G Graphics Card. To improve performance/unlock more features, I downloaded the MSI Gaming App.
However, it seem to default to my other graphics card, a NVidia 750TI. For example, the LED option isn't there, the cooling mode only works on my 750, etc.
The only way I can get it to use my 970 (Meaning, access the LED function, and change the mode to Gaming/run the fan at 100%, etc.) is to remove my 750TI from the computer, which I do not want to do.
Is there a way to set my MSI 970 as the "default" graphics card? Or to make the program use it instead of the 750ti, without removing the 750 from my system?
Thank you very much.

It happens every time, even after a restart.
Hardware ID for 750TI:
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1380&SUBSYS_1380196E&REV_A2
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_13C2&SUBSYS_31601462

The Crew –Racing with Your Coolest MSI Gaming Motherboard and Graphics Card

Most gaming fans are crazy about racing games, and there is a new game title just launched to fulfill gamers’ dream. We want to share with you the experience from Taiwan user who assembles a rig with a brand new MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card, along with a hardware and game (The Crew) benchmarks. You may find the original article from:

With MSI Gaming series motherboard plus graphics card, you can enable a Gaming App to overclock CPU and GPU. There are 3 modes to choose.
6-month free trail of the XSplit game caster software, free bundled with MSI gaming motherboard and graphics card
Done with assembling, quiet nice color combination and clean cable arrangement.
An overview of the very gaming look system.
Some benchmark results before racing with The Crew.
CPU and GPU info on CPU-Z and GPU-Z applications:
3DMark Fire Strike score: 6441
3DMark Fire Strike Extreme score: 3384
3DMark Fire Strike Ultra score:1262
The excel performance proof the brand new 960 graphics card comes with good a high Cost/Performance Value.
Now, check out this test benchmark score of the renowned game “The Crew”.
The game presents an ultra-quality display, 60 Frames Per Second (FPS)
FPS: Average frames is at:
Frames: 3859 - Time: 76828ms - Avg: 50.229 - Min: 43 - Max: 56
The comments of the game for your reference:
There are many types of missions that can be chosen from the America’s map.
Street racing, high-speed collision, breakaway from police, sky jumps, zigzagging, etc… make the game quite dynamic.
Now, when it comes to multi-player matches, the performance has exceeded expectations. Perhaps, it is the killer Ethernet that’s working the magic. Thus, this game is highly recommended if you have the right rig.
The downside is that the display intricacy is not as refined as GTA V and in addition, the game FPS is limited at 60 FPS. However, the overall gaming flow and performance is better than good.
The user's comment for using MSI Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card:
(The following commends are translated from user’s article, does not represent the viewpoint of MSI) ^^
Recently, MSI GTX 960 just launched so the initial price tag is still adjustable.
According to the current product line, it seems like this GPU is going to replace 750Ti. So once all the stocks (750Ti) at the store empties, we are most likely to see a price drop on GTX960.
Once the price hits the sweet spot, it’s time to try out GTX960 SLI’s performance.
The CP value on MSI GTX960 and GAMING 5 MB is pretty high. But the XSplit software that comes with the product is a bit annoying since the authentication steps are divided into 2 parts to go through for using it.
Enough said, anyways, GAME ON!

NVIDIA 960 card + GAMING 5 motherboard = best bundle for budget gaming!
it would be nice to see more testing of hardware-demanding games!

MSI Gaming 7 x99 3-way SLI plus wifi card

Hi, I'm looking at buying the MSI Gaming 7 x99 and an I7-5820k. I know the CPU has 28 lanes. Can I do 3-way SLI and use a WiFi PCIE x1 card in the last open pcie slot at the same time? I assume it would be 8/8/1/8. I don't plan to use the M.2 slot. Thanks
David

nope! what it will do them is this x16/ x16/ x0/ x8 (its weird)
3 way 28lane- x8/ x8/ x8/ x0
3 way 40lane- x16/ x16/ x0/ x8
I don't think you can use all the x16 size slots at once on that board!
to have 4 lots active you would need a Gaming 9 with 3 way SLI and 1 open x16 slot (they make it awkward with the insertion of RAM as you have to take out the upper graphics card to open the latches)

MSI GTX 970 not being detected on first PCI-E 3.0 slot of MSI Gaming 5 motherboa

Hi guys.
So I recently got myself a new build and some of the components include a MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G GPU and a MSI Gaming 5 mobo. When installing the GPU to the motherboard I found that for some reason nothing was being displayed on the screen. The screen wouldn't display a no signal message but it would stay black when I booted the PC up. However, when I plugged the GPU into the 2nd PCI-E 3.0 slot it would work and display on the screen. I read on a Tom's Hardware thread of someone with a similar problem and it was recommended to him to check his CPU for bent pins and he later confirmed that was the problem. I have tried the same, but as far as I can tell all of the pins were in their natural state and couldn't find any bent ones.
But I also discovered something else which really started to confuse me... When I plug in my old GPU (a Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti) into the first PCI-E 3.0 slot, it would work normally?! Why would it work fine with my GTX 560 but not my GTX 970?? I have tried everything. Even stripping the pc down to the most basic parts on a wooden surface and tested everything but it's still the same problem. I have also made sure that the display setting in the BIOS is set to PEG, but it would still not display anything when the GTX 970 is in the first slot, but if I plug the HDMI cable directly into my motherboard, even with the GTX 970 installed on the first slot, it would display normally. Also, in my BIOS it doesn't even detect anything being in the first PCI-E 3.0 slot in the Board Explorer menu. But when I installed it in the 2nd PCI-E 3.0 slot the Board Explorer menu would recognize it, but would say it's running at x8 and not x16. Should I be worried about this?
My full setup:
MSI Gaming 5 Motherboard
Intel i7 4790K
MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G
Kingston HyperX 1333Mhz 8Gb (2x4Gb)
Corsair RM 750 PSU
Corsair H80i CPU cooler
Any advice from you guys on what to do or what the problem could be would be greatly appreciated!

remove power cord from the PSU and do >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
also reseat the card into PCI-E slot 1 and make sure its fill very well into the slot

Can I use the MSI Gaming App OC settings in Afterburner then uninstall Gaming Ap

Hello all,
I finally bought an MSI GTX 760 TF OC Gaming Edition GPU last week. Unfortunately the OC isn't programmed into the BIOS and to get the highest Factory OC I need to use the MSI Gaming App. The problem is it does not start with Windows or remember your last Clock Selection.
I know Afterburner can start with Windows and apply your last selected profile.
So can I......
1. Open Gaming App and select OC.
Open GPU-Z and see how much the Clock Speed has increased.
Restore the default Clock (Gaming).
Open Afterburner and apply the same increase to the clock value as the Gaming App gave me.
Save the profile.
Tick the 'Start with Windows' box.
Uninstall the Gaming App.
2. Will the above effectively apply the same OC as the gaming App and therfore make the Gaming App obsolete?
3. Also I've read on some forums that Afterburner will only OC the MSI card if the gaming App is installed. I'm away from home so cannot test any of this. Maybe this was the case with the original version of the gaming app. can anyone confirm?
4. Also I've read people reporting that once the OC has been applied it is locked at this high clock and doesn't downclock when idle. From what I've seen the Gaming App does downclock depending on GPU demand. As does Afterburner. Can anyone confirm?
I don't know why MSI did things this way. It's a Gaming Edition card so there should be a way of applying the factory OC and leaving it set that way. The Gaming App is a nice simple little tool but as a bare minimum they should let us start it with Windows and automatically apply the last selected Clock profile.
Dragging the shortcut into the start-up folder doesn't work for me. And even if it did, the last profile selection is not remembered.
To be honest, the Gaming App is ideal for me but only if I can set it and forget it. There should be a box (like there is in Afterburner) that starts the Gaming App when Windows starts and applies the last Clock profile selected.
Now that would be simple. Afterburner is great and gives you lots of control. But I just want the OC that MSI have created. It should be set at BIOS level for a so-called OC Gaming Edition card.
From the official Afterburner Guide on this forum....
"Another thing which needs to be kept in mind is that maximum clockrates for the latest GeForce GTX7xx Gaming requires running >>Gaming APP<<. Switch to Gaming Mode (N770 TF 2GD5/OC (GeForce GTX 770 GAMING)) or OC Mode (N780 TF 3GD5/OC (GeForce GTX 780 GAMING)) to allow maximum boost clockrates."
Many thanks in advance,

Sure you can set these settings (clock rate etc) in afterburner and you should be good to go. Just for stability, run a benchmark. It should be same OC as Gaming App applies, but GApp might change voltages (never used it so not sure).
Afterburner works with ANY brand's card. However MSI Gaming App not.
However if you change settings in Nvidia control panel in : 3D settings -> Global Settings -> Power management mode -> change from Adaptive to Prefer max performance. After this card will neved downclock even at idle.

MSI Gaming App Not Working - Fails to open after install - Want to use OC mode

Hi, well today I just recovered my GPU from a near fry using MSI Afterburner. Luckily, with help from a moderator on this site, I was able to get it working again. I thought I fried it trying to OC it. I simply want to be able to switch between the modes it is supposed to come with. I have a MSI R9 290, and it is supposed to be equiped with 3 easy "one click" toggling between OC modes, 1007MHz, Gaming mode, 974MHz, and Silent Mode, 947MHz.
I cannot figure out how to switch between these modes. I used Afterburner and nearly fried my card. I was told not to use that, that is for advanced users, to use instead the (supposed to be bundled, but was not included in my install) MSI Gaming App, to easily switch between the 3 different modes. I downloaded the MSI Gaming App (http://download.msi.com/uti_exe/gamingApp.zip) and installed it. When I tried to run it I get this error:
======
[MSI Gaming App]
The platform does not support this application
(OK)
======
So what does this mean, that the Gaming App is not supported by Windows 7 64Bit Professional (which is what I have)?
Am I doing something wrong, did I install the wrong application. I could not find any others however.
So I damn near fried my GPU trying to use Afterburner to OC my GPU, and I am very hesitant to try using it again. At this point, I have not even reinstalled Afterburner as I fear it might, just by installing, screw me up again.
What should I do, is there anything I CAN do?
Please help this noob- Thanks for your help!
-Kris

based on S/N the card is generic, AMD reference one
those cards don't have factory OC:

Windows 7 Won't Boot After Nvidia Driver Installed, MSI Gaming N770

Hi I just bought the MSI Gaming N770 2gb and after installing the nvidia drivers, Windows 7 will not boot after my motherboard POSTs.
I bought this to replace an AMD card. I uninstalled all the AMD drivers before putting in the MSI card. I've also run the Display Driver Uninstaller in Safe Mode and everything.
After a few hours of research, I finally came across a thread about flashing a vbios, and something about these cards not working with motherboards with UEFI bios.
I'm using a P8Z77-I Deluxe mini-itx board, with a Rosewill 630W psu.
I have both 6+2 PCI pins plugged into the two 8pin power ports on the GPU.
Is this an issue that can be fixed with turning off secure boot? or by flashing a vbios onto the card? Or is the card a dud? Or do I have to re-install Windows.
If the vbios is required, are there instructions on how to flash it? I have no idea how to flash a BIOS. Thank you!!

Had to update BIOS. All fixed!!!!

MSI Gaming app causing issues. GTX 770 GPU.

I bought my MSI 770 card back in August and over the last few weeks I have noticed a problem. At random times my browser will get some strange pixels and closing the browser does not fix it. I have narrowed he problem down to the MSI Gaming App. I use this app when I play games and always overclock with this app. Lately I have been playing BF4. I noticed my BF4 game crashes less when I don't use the app as well.
In order for my browser (Chrome) to function properly again I have to close out of the MSI Gaming app. Does this mean my card is failing? I am about to buy my 2nd MSI 770 here in a week or two and would like to get this sorted out before hand.
Here is a pic of the browser after the problem occurs. My sig has specs.
Thanks

if you don't use this app. do you have such issues?
Good question. I always use this app so my time spent not using it is very little. I will stop using it starting now and see if I have this problem at all this weekend. Typically this happens daily so we shall see.

MSI gaming APP

I have fitted a MSI GTX960 Gaming 4GB in my Dell XPS8700, it is a great upgrade from gtx745 !
At the moment, referring to reviews/benchmarks the extra 2GB really doesn't make a huge difference...only betting on longer run, games will want more memory so went for 4GB instead...
The only "issue" is with the MSI software. GPU comes with 3 msi software: 3D photo viewer/ msi afterburner and msi gaming app.
XPS8700 will not start "MSI gaming APP", which allow you to choose between: OC mode/ Gaming mode/ Silent mode. Any idea why my dell cannot open this? (I have also tried the latest software from MSI)
The MSI afterburner software is quite too difficult to use for overclocking the GPU; I tried some setup, only to find black screens and crashes when playing games...It is fine when I reset it to "factory" setting.
Cheers

Hi, thanks for trying to help...
I will try to answer to the best of my knowledge :
http://eu.msi.com/product/vga/GTX-960-GAMING-4G-LE.html#hero-overview
I first installed the software which came with the card: didn't work
Then installed MSI Gaming APP from here (it says 06/02/15) 4.0.0.2:
https://gaming.msi.com/article/msi-gaming-app-article
Uninstalled/deleted folder, reinstalled as suggested still didn't work. Even if I right click on icon "run as administrator", I get a pop up window then same again, just nothing after that.
I checked: Microsoft.NET Framework, it is up to date: 4.5.1
Windows is up to date....
Many Thanks

MSI Gaming App Issues

Could you post your full configuration?
It depends your MOBO support the Gaming App or not.
Better you can also post the screenshot...

MSI Gaming App Will NOT Start

If this is the wrong forum I apologize, I didn't see any other place for topics about MSI software.
When my PC starts, the MSI Gaming App doesn't start automatically, I have to manually start it by double-clicking the icon on the desktop. However, it is a crap shoot if the program will even run; usually it doesn't and I have to completely restart my computer and cross my fingers. I've re-installed, updated, etc., but it keeps doing this. Any help would be fantastic.

Are you mixing RAM?
Did the software ever worked before? Try to uninstall it (Programs&Features), remove any folders and registry files that Gaming App have made (you can also use CCleaner to clear registry errors). Then reboot and try to install+run Gaming App again. What was the version you have tried? From the CD included with the card or from MSI website? If possible, tell exact version.

MSI gaming app and GTX760

After latest update for my MSI twin frozr gtx760, when i start MSI gaming app and turn gaming mode i get blue screen. I rly don't know what to do. Anyone else got some bad experience with it?

I have the latest version of the Gaming App. I am using the current driver for this card from the MSI download section for this card. So Nvidia prohibited putting more than 3Gb on a 780? That is depressing and frustrating. I got this card because I enjoy PC gaming on big monitors with high resolutions (not 1080P TV's) and I figured the high VRAM would help run games at high settings on the kinds of monitors I prefer. I was gaming on a 30" Samsung monitor @2560x1600 and now I am using a 34" 21:9 LG monitor @3440x1440. I'm starting to get a bit of a feeling like I wasted my money buying this card. I mean Nvidia is going to poopoo all over having extra VRAM on a 780, the MSI Gaming App won't work for an MSI card and even MSI Afterburner won't read the VRAM correctly on this MSI card.
Oh well, it's the card's fault and the card seems to run alright, but it doesn't seem to be running much better than the 3Gb EVGA 780 that the 6Gb card replaced. I am starting to wonder if I am not getting the best performance out of the card that I should.
