Msi MPower MAX AC Power Saver Question

In the msi bios how do you enable the power saving feature so when the pc is idle or under light load it throttles down to 1.6 ghz.I am using offset now 4.7 with +35 offset for 1.264volts.Any help appreciated.

i think he wanted freq. to drop when the CPU is in idle
if this is correct you need to enable  "EIST" and "C-State" states
also you can try switching within windows power profile to "Balanced"
[in some machines when its set to high performance this prevent CPU freq. throttling at idle]

  • Msi Mpower Max AC Z97 Watercooling Question

    I have a Swiftech H240x watercooler hooked up and wonder when I try to controll the swiftech cpu pump on manual its all greyed out under 75 %,when i move it to 75 from 100 the pump speed is still running at 100%.The only way I can run the pump slower is in smart mode and move it to 26% and it gives me 1600 rpm pump speed,not 3000 at 100 .Is this normal not to have the manual pump speed work and have it greyed out under 75% with only smart mode working.Just wondering why smart mode is a no go for me.Any help appreciated..Oh ya,my rad fans,and case fans also no go in manual mode,but can be adjusted in smart mode.

    I am useing a NZXT Sentry 3 now to control all fans in my pc.Works darn good,looks good too.Just the Swiftech H240x watercooler is hooked up to the mb.I still can not make manual mode work to adj the waterpump.It stayes at 100% no matter where I put the ajuster,and all greyed out below 75%.To control the adjustable swiftech waterpump the rpm's are at lowest 1200 rpm and the highest is 3000 rpm.I have the waterpump pluged in to cpu fan-1.Is this not the right spot to hook it up to.If anyone has ideas for me to try to get manual control working please let me know.

    all day passed and i am a bit tired of seeing bios and bsods
    i think i got the lazy chip help me understand it better and learn things on the way.
    this is most stable i got.
    Bios E7815IMS.133
    CPU ratio: x44
    Ratio: Fixed
    Ring: x39
    Vcore 1.25v Offset 0.015V
    Svid comm. Enabled
    from digitall i changed only CPU Vdrop to 100%
    Ram set on xmp and manualy entered timings and voltage and speed 1600
    With this i pass AIDA 64 stress test for 30min no problem
    cinebench pass
    when i open Prime95 Blend test 15min pass and bsod..
    Temps were 80-85c with room 25c
    Everything else in bios is set to default (auto)
    Any tips how to tweek it more?
    i tried x45 with settings as above i boot into windows pass cinebench but crash on aida64.
    i also tryed just x46 with voltage bump up to 1.28v with offset 0.015
    I will be deliding as soon as my h220 arrives and CLU.
    Also is there some special USB so i can take the screenshots?
    i tried all the ports different flashes also formated to FAT32 and NTFS same its saying no usb dongle..
    When i put my WD 2TB HDD it recognize it but when i want to save the Screenshot it gives this message
    "allocate file system resource fail"
    I would post Screanshots but as i mentioned above its annoying problem..
    Thanks in advance guys.
    Edit:
    just to see if i have lazy chip i tryed 1.3v with settings above and x47-48 wont even post.... :(
    found flash that is working

    ok i tryed this also
    Internal VR efficiency management - disabled in screanshots its enabled
    with this i am able to make 30mind aida with no crash temps a bit high but can be managed, i boot into windows with this vcore and x45 but unstable during aida 10min bsod
    i boosted the voltage to 1.275 with offset 0.015v and got me 20min aida then bsod. any way i can tweek it more?

  • [SOLVED] Configuring SPDIF for MSI Mpower MAX

    Hi people of the Arch,
    I would like to play music over SPDIF, while I get no errors, I also get no sound.
    I have read the Wiki here Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture
    Also, I've been Googling and searching here on the forum, I've followed some steps but none seem to 'sound' right.
    What I have not done is creating an asoundrc file with my setup, I believe that I can test if it works first, before I create such a file. Like to hear if this is right.
    And I should note that I also use regular stereo out and USB headphones.

    What happens is that it will make it past the start orbs and I see the mouse with a black background and then it BSODs. The computer restarts again and then boots properly.
    Usually an indicator a voltage isn't high enough. OC settings don't sound stable. Might open a thread in the OC and Undervolt forum section for help with that. I've stayed away from the DRAM Training (left it as is) and reached 2800 without any trouble. Not all IMC's are going to handle that speed though from what I've been reading. All my benchmarks so far are showing RAM speed above 1600 adds little performance value.

  • Z97 MPOWER MAX AC power connectors... are all required?

     I am building a system with an i7-4790K and the Z97 MPOWER MAX AC board.  I see that it has 4 different power connectors:
    24-pin (manual calls it JPWR1)
    8-pin (two 4s side-by-side JPWR2)
    4-pin (JPWR3)
    6-pin (JPWR4)
    As I understand it, JPWR4 (the 6-pin) is optional and can supply power to things. 
    My question is: are the other three REQUIRED?  What is JPWR3?  I do not have a 4-pin connector that I can see in my Seasonic X-560 Gold which is Haswell compatible according to Seasonic.

     
    It's very nice motherboard I have to say, will serve well

  • Z97 MPOWER MAX AC RAID Setup Question

    Apologies if this is in the wrong place; I wasn't sure if I should stick this here or in the Windows x86/x64 board.
    Essentially, what I would like to do is this:
    Set up a RAID 1 (disk mirroring) array using the integrated Intel raid controller on my Z97 MPOWER MAX AC motherboard using two 1TB WD Blue drives. After setting up the array in BIOS, I'm wanting to do a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate (OEM).
    My question is this: If I wanted to set up a software recovery partition (like how OEMs ship most systems these days with an OS recovery partition), how would I go about setting up this partition in relation to setting up the RAID array and installing Windows? Is it even possible to do what I'm trying to accomplish, or am I giving the "department of redundancy department" a run for their money?
    Many thanks.
    EJ

    isn't that you will still need the bios to be modified first so it will point to your OS recovery?

  • MSI MPower Max problem

    Hello
    I recently purchased an Z87 MPower Max and it came present with BIOS v1.1. According to the CPU sheet on the website it wasn't recommended to use that with a 4770K so I flashed 1.0 back on since 1.1 only boots with stock settings. Now I have this annoying problem of getting a BSOD every time I boot the computer for the first time.
    What happens is that it will make it past the start orbs and I see the mouse with a black background and then it BSODs. The computer restarts again and then boots properly.
    These are my settings:
    CPU Ratio Mode - Dynamic
    Adjust CPU Ratio - 42
    EIST and Turbo boost -enabled
    Adjusted Ring ratio - auto (39x)
    Adjusted Ring Frequency - 3900Mhz
    DRAM Reference Clock - Auto
    DRAM Frequency - Auto
    XMP - profile 2 (2400Mhz)
    DRAM Timing Mode - Auto
    Memory Fast boot - auto
    VCCIN Voltags - 1.900V
    CPU Core Voltage Mode - Adaptive
    CPU Core Voltage - 1.165
    CPU Core Offset mode is -
    CPU Core Voltage Offset - 0.005
    Is it something to do with this DRAM training? I was told to disable it but I'm not sure how to. Can someone help me?
    I have verified 4.2Ghz stable with 2400Mhz RAM with AIDA64 and Prime95 when using fixed 1.15V and used AIDA64 CPU only for adaptive checking.
    I have this RAM: F3-2400C10D-8GTX - its Gskill 2400Mhz DDR3 Trident X ram

  • MSI 845G Max-L power problem?

    My system is about a month old as follows:
    MSI 845G Max-L (MSI-6580)
    P4 2.26 Northwood 533bus w/stock Intel fan
    512meg Corsair XMS 2700

    16X10X40 Lite-on CD-rw
    420watt PS
    It was bought and assembled from Ibuypower.com with the harddrive formatted only... no OS installed. I installed WinXP Pro and installed all necessary drivers . Everything was running GREAT until about a week ago, something strange began to happen. When using the shut down option in WinXP, and using "turn off" my computer will power down and sometimes spontaneously reboot instead of the power shutting off completely. Sometimes it will delay 3-4 seconds with all power off, including the case fans, lights, cpu fan, then powers back up. Last night, I powered down before bed and it stayed off...at least that's what I thought... when I woke up this morning, it was back on again. I can't figure for the life of me what is going on.. any help would be appreciated.   ?(

    make sure all wake on options are of in bios

  • MSI MPOWER MAX Z87 - RAID failure after BIOS update (settings reset)

    I use the integrated intel RAID controller to create a 2 disk RAID-0 6TB (2x3TB), but everytime I update the BIOS, there is a RAID failure.
    It does not matter if I use Live Update or the Update BIOS+ME option of the BIOS menu. All settings are lost, and after the boot the RAID controller is deactivated due to that. I go to BIOS right after the auto-reboot and re-enter my settings (RAID instead of AHCI), but the intel controller only sees 1 disk as a RAID member. Recovery option is not active when I enter the controller options (control+I). I always need to delete and recreate the RAID, which of course loses all data.
    Very frustrating!
    Am I doing the update wrong? I know I did it once and settings were not reset, my RAID was kept intact, but I believe it was only 1 time of 4 or 5 updates I did to my MPOWER MAX.

    Hi, thanks for trying to help!
    - I use Windows 8.1.
    - My vga does not support UEFI so I use... legacy mode? (I'm not that familiar with BIOS->UEFI yet, sorry.)
    - According to Intel RST, the RAID HDDs are on ports 2 and 3.
    - This time the update was from 1.80 to 1.90.
    1.70 to 1.80 also resulted in the same problem, but I used LiveUpdate.
    For previous updates, I don't remember but I sometimes I used LiveUpdate, sometimes the BIOS feature.
    I'm pretty sure that only once the RAID was kept intact, and I don't remember the versions or method I used, but I believe I used the BIOS method (don't know if needed BIOS+ME or not), not LiveUpdate.

  • MSI Mpower Max and Team Group LV 2400 Memory (Samsung)

    Bios 1.31b is fine, but afterwards seems to have a problem with my memory modules, even at XMP settings they are difficult to boot. I am pretty sure it is related to a single value called tWR. For some reason the tWR value in the later bios are limited to be adjusted between 0 and 16. My modules need it to be 18 to boot at XMP.
    I really want those later bioses, because of the faster PWM and the Legacy optimizing for benching. Please tell me where to post these to get my memory modules working.

  • Z87 MSI Mpower Max Adaptive vcore not working properly?

    Hi, first time MSI MB user here.
    After I finished tweaking my OC settings, I changed the vcore voltage from fixed to adaptive mode, since that is said to lower the idle temps.
    However, it doesn't seem to work in the way that I thought it would.
    Vcore voltage stays at the same value regardless of whether the CPU is idle or under load.  I thought it would lower itself when the CPU is idle.
    Am I misunderstanding something here?
    Voltage check done by AIDA64 and CPU-Z 1.64.3
    Below are my bios settings:
    BIOS ver. 1.1
    CPU Ratio Mode - Dynamic
    Adjust CPU Ratio - 45
    EIST and Turbo boost -enabled
    Adjusted Ring ratio - auto (39x)
    Adjusted Ring Frequency - 3900Mhz
    VCCIN Voltags - 1.95V
    CPU Core Voltage Mode - Adaptive
    CPU Core Voltage - 1.25
    Thanks.

    Quote
    Once the CPU V. is taken out of auto and set manually, the voltage isn't going to drop at idle.

    That's not what I was led to believe?
    Yup! Turns out your belief is correct. The rules 'have' changed with Z87! 

  • MSI MPower Max Command Center Error ver. 1.0.0.59

    Hi everyone! I apologise in advance for my poor English.
    I was very pleased with my new PC (and also with the motherboard!) until command center made me upgrade to ver. 1.0.0.59. Every time I open it I get this error message and sometimes (1 on 4 sessions) it significantly lowers CPU's clock.
    The part in Italian says: " It's impossible to find part of the directory ...... \LU5_LMU.xml"
    How would you fix it? Should I reinstall the previous version and, in that case, where can I download it from?
