Msi MPOWER Z87 max AC OC to 4.2 or 4.3 guide?

good day. I just bought a msi mpower max AC with a processor i 4670k, I would take it to a 4.2 or 4.3 screen guide or someone who is like my settings to guide me?. Thank you.

Come on Froggy Gremlin, don't tell me you don't love your Mpower? :D
Well its overkill for the average joe and pc enthusiasts, but its a fresh break from all the red and black themes. :D I know its not really a rational reasoning since the Gaming Series are great, but isn't she a beauty?
Sorry for the photos, was taken using a mobile phone.

MSI MPOWER z87 BSOD on boot in RAID mode

Hello, I've just recently added a harddrive and was attempting to set up a raid and encountered this issue. I have 2 ssds - one is the boot drive, second for games, and I have 3 1tb hdd drives which I was attempting to put in a raid5. I installed the third drive today, went in to the BIOS, switched SATA mode to RAID and got an immediate BSOD before even booting to Windows. Previously, I've had the two ssd in a RAID-0 and never had this issue. The ssd are no longer in a RAID, I was hoping to only have the 3 hdd in the raid5. I'm now having to reinstall windows because the error corrupted a system file somewhere and I'm unable to repair it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My system is:
Windows 7-64bit
MSI MPOWER z87
Intel i7-4770k
8gb corsair vengeance RAM
2 120gb OCZ Vertex 3 SSD
3 1tb WD10ezex HDD
MSI GTX760 GPU
Rosewill Capstone 750W PSU

You cannot just change SATA modes.

(MSI MPOWER Z87) System Won't Start

Hi, a month ago I built for myself a new PC with MSI MPOWER Z87 motherboard.
For a month it worked fine, but couple of days ago, when I tried to launch it nothing would work, OS doesn't start, fans not working including processor fan. All I see is power button button(on motherboard) lit, OC Switch Led lights (one red and one blue) and Clear CMOS (blue) blinking. Debug led doesn't work either. Can anyone help me to solve this problem, what problem do I have and what can I do to fix it?

HuntKey Green Power 550W Sounds cheap and unreliable. Haswell also requires slightly different PSU than older systems did, so if possible test something like Corsair, Seasonic, Antec (and similar with GOOD quality and reputation). You could also go to local PC shop/IT services and ask for testing your system with their quality PSU.

Big problem with Mpower z87 + I5 4670K

Hi
My English is not perfect so i'll be quick :
Hardware :
MSI Mpower Z87
Core i5 4670K
2x4GO DDR3 2400 1.65V
EVGA 750W GOLD
Water cooling
Ati 7950
SSD Samsung 120GO
So i'm trying to overclock my 4670K but when my frequency is at 4.2MHZ i am obliged to fix my voltage at 1.320V.
If my voltage is under 1.320V and my frenquency is 4.2MHZ i have a boot loop or a BSOD with code : STOP 0x00000124.
Why me i need to fix my voltage over 1.320 V ???? it is to HIGH for juste 4.2 MHZ......
Please help me.
Thx

Doesn't work. I have flash the bios and try to O/C but same problème : boot loop on windows.
Yeah, 42X on the core worked but with a high voltage (1.300 V). On the internet i have see many tests where users run on 45X with a low voltage (1.140 V) Why i need a high voltage ???? and why when i change the voltage to 1.300 + i have a black screen ?? i am desesperate, first time on MSi fore me.....
Leave the CPU V. on Auto. Use the voltage offsets if needed above what gets set by default. Simply the luck-of-the-draw with Intel CPU's. Mine will do 47X on only 1.18v's, but it cooks itself to death. So the alternative? I set mine to 43X as at 45X, the performance was identical at 43X with less heat and voltage being required. If the board works perfect at auto/stock/default, then it isn't the board.

Debug code 70 , mpower z87

Hi,
yesterday a friend of mine bought the mpower z87 mobo and
everything was fine until today.
The debug leds show the code 70 and the video output doesn't come out.
I'm really desperate and sad for him, I dont know what to do.
The configuration is:
msi mpower z87
i5 4670k
corsair cx750
samsung evo 840
msi gtx 770 lightning

thanks for the reply.. but I knew that the 70 code means Late South Bridge Inizialization
but I didn't know what does it mean .
Anyway we tried with only 1 RAM plugged and the debug code sometimes is A2 (Ide detected) sometimes A0 or A3.
With 2 RAMs the code is 99 (Super IO Inizialization).
We also tried to unplug the video card and the hdd and do the CMOS, with no results .
little update:
the computer now turns on but after 3 mins turns itself off...

MPower Z87 Power connectors

Recently put together a new PC build using a MSI MPower z87, but my power supply (BFG 1250watt - modular) only had one lead for the 8pin power connection for the board. I tried to use a different connector that the power supply had plenty of, a 6pin + 2 pin that was the same size and shape with the +2 connected, but when I attempted to power on, the thinner wire to the +2 portion melted. Did this hurt the board? and Is it safe to run the board with only one of the two 8 pin power connectors connected? (JPWR1 and JPWR2) I do have the larger JPWR3 connected (the one above the SATA connectors).
I'm guessing I'll need to get a new power supply, the BFG one I have is a bit old, from a 2009 build, which may be why it only has one ATX 8pin connector. Can anyone recommend a power supply that defiantly has 2 (or more) 8 pin ATX power connectors?
Thanks

that may have fried the board as a 8 pin CPU power connector has different pins (a live and a ground on the side) but a 8 pin PCI-E power connector has 2 grounds there so you may have blown something on the board or damaged the PSU itself if your unlucky!
try with just one 8pin CPU power connector and and hope to hell you haven't blown something and you lucked out there and haven't damage something (It only needs one unless your using LN2 cooling and doing massive overclocks and huge over voltage's to push the CPU way above its design limits)!
also if you have damaged something and its broke your in a bad position here as you will have voided the warranty as its classed as user error because you made the mistake of convecting that!

[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.

Try this one, v1.2B8;
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=169759.msg1240621#msg1240621
Mine originally came with v1.1 and had no problem booting or restarting problem of holding settings above stock/auto/default.
Quote
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.

MSI Mpower Max 4770k Help tweek it

Hi there,
this is my first seriouse MSI board in last 3years and i have encountered few problems with overclock
My Pc Specs are:
Intel 4770k
Corsair H70 with 2xNoctua 14FLX p/p
MSI Mpower Max
Kinston Hyper X DDR3 1600mhz 9-9-9-27 2x4GB
Corsair AX860
Intel SSD 510 250GB
Seagate Barracuda 3TB
Samsung F4 2TB
Corsair 650D
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?

MSI Nightblade z87 question

Would the MSI GTX 670 OC Edition fit inside the MSI Nightblade z87?
Also, the Z87 nightblade comes with a 600w PSU, right?
and, does the Nightblade z87 012-BUS come with the special CPU cooler?
Thanks.

Hi
According to the spec available >>HERE<<:
1. Card is of dimensions: 242x111x38 mm and this desktop: Quote
VGA Support Dual slot, max 290mm lengt graphics
So should fit no problem.
2. Quote
Delicate and Powerful ID
290 mm ATX Graphics Capability
600W 80+ Gold Power Supply
High Efficient Exclusive OC CPU cooler
Supports DDR3-3000(OC) Memory
Super Raid Armed
Easy Assemble
OC Genie Ready
Great Thermal Design with System Fan
Sufficient and Flexible Internal Storage Capability
Audio Boost: Reward Your Ears with True Quality
Killer Ethernet - Kill Your Lag
Military Class 4 - Top Quality & Stability
PCI Express Gen 3 - World's 1st PCI Express Gen 3 Motherboard Brand
So it should come with 600W PSU, yes.
3 and most important: above may not be applicable, as it's mostly dependant on the seller/retailer itself. Ask them if it comes with special CPU cooler, and if it's indeed 600W PSU fitted inside, as it shows as this on the website, but also about this:

MPower Z87 - strange bahavioure with SSD - Unable to upgrade BIOS

SSD:
Samsung SSD 840 (256GB) - ACS2-SATA III
Toshiba THNSNS128MCP (128GB) - ATA8-ACS-SATA III
*According to this: http://www.msi.com/file/test_report/TR3_2851.pdf
PC - Windows 8 x64bit
Laptop - Windows 8 x64bit
Strange thing happens yesterday, I did run above setup for over a month now without any issue (excluding HDD A2 detection that took around 30sec-45sec). I did copied some video files (3files - around 2GB) from WDC WD20EARX to my Laptop over network (SMB - or whatever proto. Windows 8 x64 uses these days) and copying just stopped - no error or anything - just progress stopped. So I tried to kill Explorer process - without success. On my laptop I couldn't access these directories with the error "Unable to access...". So what I did was to restart PC - not hard restart but windows Restart. I did same on the Laptop. Laptop boot up properly but my PC did not.
   On PC during boot I can see 99 -> 9C -> A2. At first 9C was fast, after some reboots it's taking now 30sec+, and A2 ... takes 10minutes. Strange part is that after that time everything is working fine. After Windows 8 turns on I did scan drives and non of them had an error.
   And now it's a kicker - I did copied all my data from mSATA drive (Toshiba one) and removed partition and reformatted drive - PC now starts after A2 like - 30 sec.
   But still booting up takes like 9C (sometimes its faster) - 30sec, A2 - 30sec -> 10min.
   Also I did tried to update BIOS from 1.3 to 1.5 or 1.4. After selection in BIOS file motherboard just freezes.
So questions:
1. How long it takes on MPower Z87 to detect drives for You guys? (on my 9C - 15-30sec, A2 - 15-30sec - total boot detection time is around 1min)
2. Why I cant update BIOS?
Thanks for reply
Regards

I almost brick my mobo. I did got my USB drive prepared and after reboot on "Do You want to run Mtest before update" I did press Y, although instead of running Memtest it went back to my boot chain - so boot into OS, and halfway during boot power was turned of...
Now after disabling setting up 1 drive for boot device (was that before update) I can see that speed increased.
EDIT:
Ok it did not helped at all, now its even longer to boot.
What's strange is that after 1st boot after BIOS update everything went OK == fast, then after reboot from Windows slowness starts again. No changes to BIOS settings...
I had exactly same situation with WD EARS, repartitioning helps but if this occurs again on that drive then I'm in big trouble as I don't have any more 3,5' USB HDD bay.

MPower Z87 - long board start up

Hello,
I purchased MPower Z87 board and after yesterdays assembly I stumbled upon strange board behaviour.
Spec:
CPU - i7 4770
RAM - 2x4GB G.Skill
HDD's - 1x WD EARS 2TB SATA2 - 1x WD EARX 2TB SATA3
SSD'a - 1x OCZ Vertex 90GB SATA2 - 1x Samsun 250GB SATA3 - 1x Toshiba 128GB mSATA
PSU - Seasonic 620W
Problem:
AFAIKT - Debug codes:
9C - SCSI detect
A2 - ATA detect
Long board start up. When I power up PC then I can see debug codes:
9C - 20sec -> 2min
A2 - 2sec -> 5min
So in worst case scenerio board boot up up to 5minutes !!!
NO HDD/SSD - 9C - 20sec -> A2 - 3sec = 23sec to BIOS !!!
This is on 130 BIOS, same on older one that's why I upgraded from 100.
Any idea what can cause this?
Any adivce more then welcome.
PS> Some complains:
I must say that I'm not a fan of MSI at all. I did purchase this board only because sound was better then the one in ASUS ones. My bad and now I regret it because this on my speakers won't be noticed anyways.
6xSATA slot - congratulation on adding to the Mobo L shaped connecters and not streight ones, now I can't connect upper ones when lower ones are used !!!

Well ... I don't know what debug code mean because well.. no entry in manual on this one... so. But that's not important.
Tests, now I see only A2 debug codes (9C is either super fast or not present at all) and time is related to that code:
Legacy+UEFI
SATA3 - boot very fast (SSD Samsung 840 - clean - factory state)
SATA3 - WD EARX (HDD - clean - factory state) - slow (around 5-10sec)
SATA3 + SATA3 - (SSD + HDD - factory state) - very slow
UEFI:
SATA3 connected - boot very fast (SSD Samsung 840 - clean - factory state)
SATA3 connected - WD EARX (HDD - clean - factory state) - very fast
SATA2 connected - WD EARS (HDD - partition data) - very slow
Ok.
That's deal breaker for me, as I won't juggle drives when new ones will be purchase later just to get acceptable boot speed.
In old days (Pentium 1 to 3 times) MSI product were portrayed by me as cheapest one and cr@9ies ones, now only first one changed as it's still cr@9 but cost now much more.
Going to the shop for ASUS one <- that's probably faster solution.
UPDATE:
Sometime when I press power off after some time (5-10sec) PC turns ON automatically, maybe I did turn on some "auto wake" feature - although I have all this disabled.
A2 - on drives still with long wait.

MPower Z87 stuck at A2 when Fanatec wheel connected

Hello,
I've been experiencing a strange issue with your MPower Z87 motherboard, BIOS already updated to the latest version available. Long story short, I have a Fanatec steering wheel
eu.fanatec.com/RacingWheels/ClubSportWheelBaseEU
and everytime I turn on my PC with my steering wheel already on, the motherboard shows the usual codes on my monitor, then get stuck at A2 status without even reaching the MPower yellow and black image. As soon as I unplug my wheel's USB cable, PC runs fine and reaches Windows without a problem.
My configuration is:
Intel Core i7-4770K
16 GB DDR3 RipjawsX 1600 Mhz
Samsung 840 256GB
MSI GTX 780 Lighting
Enermax Revolution 650W
Do you think that this procedure might help? What's strange is that this happens with an Asus Z87 motherboard too, while everything works fine on my notebook, which mounts a Sandy Bridge CPU instead of a Haswell one.
Let me know if you have any suggestions or if you need further informations.

When you update the bios use the method here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=172772.msg1257570#msg1257570

MSI MPOWER Z77 Drops frequency

I have a INTEL 3770K along with MSI MPOWER Z77, I am running BIOS at Default settings with no major changes to Overclocking section. When I boot up the windows for first time the CPU frequency goes up to 3.9Ghz when in TURBO. But when I Put computer in STANDBY MODE for overnight and start the computer backup in the morning, the CPU Frequency only goes up to 3.5Ghz in TURBO ( It just wont go above 3.5GHZ). I am using latest BIOS v17.7 and Default settings at BIOS.
To Fix the issue and I have to restart windows and then 3770K will go to Max 3.9Ghz turbo and idles at 1.6Ghz, which is suppose to happen all the time. is there something wrong with my BIOS or installation of Windows 8 ?
Need Assistance

Flash to the latest bios and retest:
