MSI SLI -5v issue help

Hi peeps
I have obviously found out the hard way about the -5v sound issue on this motherboard,  you guys dont know how frustrating it was installing drivers reformating lol i just couldn't figure it out :p
Anyway i guess to solve this issue is buy a sound card? right that will give me sound back!
And any other issues i should know about b4 hand?
Forgot to say im using the antec neo power psu

You can get a OCZ 520 power supply which has a -5V rail & sell yours on ebay. I've also been told you can have the board modified but I'm not sure in which of my threads I got the suggestion.  It might be in https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=e0a58bd39846e41ae63a3f38ebf05ecd&topic=80108.0 or in http://forums.amd.com/index.php?s=2c8d6af48cd26186e0a37cfcabde728c&showtopic=47162

  • MSI: SLI Plus Eight

    Anand Tech has a review of the MSI K8N Diamond Plus:
    Quote
    During our testing and general usage of the MSI K8N Diamond Plus we found the board's stability to be superb and it delivered class leading results in most of our synthetic and game benchmarks. Unfortunately, although the latest 3.0a BIOS release has generally improved the board's stability, overclocking options, and performance, we still incurred issues trying to get our particular sample to overclock in a similar fashion to our nForce4, ULi M1697, or ATI RD580/480 boards.

    I saw that a couple of days ago....
    Another example of good hardware being slightly borked by a funky BIOS.
    Of course it could be production variation. People with the same parts I have, routinely exceed 300HT with Neo4 Plats - Something I have yet to accomplish. Oh well.

  • Msi Sli plus and E5-2620v3

    Hello
    I am Irene,
    i am a new member,
    i need help please
    it's a long story to explain
    my desktop is broken.my brother bought a cpu and ddr4 to build a workstation but he had to left  and he will back next year.he told me"meanwhile you use this cpu until i come back"
    the cpu is
    Xeon E5-2620v3 (2011-3)
    it's an oversized cpu for me,i don't have a server, don't overcklocking,don't gaming,don't videoediting. but now i have it.
    i'm choosing a mobo. i'm thinking to get MSI SLI PLUS. a very simple mobo.but on ,on Intel page and in "CPU support" there is written "Intel Xeon Processor Family is designed for servers. Some features may not support when installed on X99 series chipsets."
    what does it mean?
    if i put this cpu on this mobo can i install windows 8.1? can i surfing the net (facebook,youtube,instagram),watching movies in streaming, blu ray,using Word?
    if i buy this mobo,have i to flash immediately the BIOS before to install cpu or i don't need it
    Let me know please
    Thanks

    This Xeon cpu is supported on X99S SLI Plus out of the box and will work like any other 2011-v3 cpu used on this platform. It just can't be overclocked as it - unlike 5820K/5930K/5960X - does not offer an unlocked core ratio.
    Because X99 is a desktop platform it will also not support server technologies like ECC Memory Support that Xeon cpus would support on a Server board. As the desktop 2011-v3 cpus would not support this technologies anyway you won't miss it.

  • Hello.I wanted to upgrade my iPad 1 to iOS 5.1 Over the Air.I was running iOS 5.0.1.It said it had an error connecting to server.It is already 5 hours i cant install this update.I also have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1 with the same issues.Help please!

    You're probably running into the servers simply being swamped. Thousands of people are all going for the software update at the same time. Give it a try again and if that doesn't work, then try plugging it into your computer and trying it that way.
    I didn't get a notion of the size, it doesn't seem to be as big as the 700 meg 5.0 update, but it did take me 20+ minutes to download via cable internet so it's a large file. That in and of itself takes a while.
    If you're trying to download it directly to your iPhone, you'll need to be on wifi since I'm sure it's well over the 20 meg file size limit for 3G.

  • MSI 990FXA GD80 audio help

    Hello I'm sorry if this has been mentioned before but i was hoping anyone with a MSI 990FXA GD80 could help me out please, i am having audio problems with my new motherboard when play a video or some music if i open msi control centre or scan for hardware changes in device manager i get terrible sound distortion, i think its happening because my bios is being scanned but this is the first motherboard its happened to me on, could anyone else with a MSI 990FXA GD80 play a video or some music and scan for hardware changes in device manger while its playing to see if it happens to you, thank you for any help.
    p.s i am using the latest v11.5 bios and on-board audio, my CPU is overclocked to 4GHz but it still happens on default settings, thanks again.

    Quote from: BR4DDERS on 30-September-11, 09:57:21
    Hello i have finally fixed my audio problem i use a wireless usb adapter for the internet so i disabled the onboard LAN controller in bios, i disabled it before i even installed windows so i didn't have any drivers for it,
    anyway i have it enabled now my overclocks applied an no audio problems what soever. Uncleblitz check to see if you have you're onboard LAN controller disabled.
    thanks for all the help guys
    [update]
    I just tried control center and it still does it, i checked it by scanning for new hardware in device manager because it was quicker to open it doesn't do it there anymore just in control center, so its half fixed

  • Msi sli plus x99 bios long bootup time

    Hi,
    I have the msi sli plus x99 motherboard and when I start my computer it takes 15seconds to see the bios window (before that there is a black screen)
    I have an ssd so it takes me 10 seconds to load windows so the waiting for the computer to start loading it is annoying.
    Is there anything that I can do about it?

    Quote from: Chike on 03-June-15, 22:50:15
    Try disconnection the SSD and any other peripherals see if it make any change.
    What is the BIOS version and what VGA card are you using?
    I updated the bios version to the latest one (1.8)
    The card im using is the HD5750

  • Msi Sli and a Neo power Psu

    Hi peeps
    Well i kinda figured out the nasty no sound while using the Neo power psu,  which imo wasn't so bad as i brought a sound card
    but now im faced with booting problems!
    Basicly the system gets to loading windows screan and halts,  ive try'd different settings in the bios without success after around 1 hour of fiddleing decided to try my hiper PSU and system loaded first time
    What can be done i need the extra power of the Antec so i cant stick with my hiper
    A54 3500
    MSI SLI
    ATI X800XL
    1GB GEIL
    Audigy 2
    2x250gig raid sata
    80gig back up HDD

    hmmm, funny, I'm running the Neo4 SLI and A64 3500+ combo with 2 6800GT's, 2 80 GB SATA Drives, 2 Optical Drives, and 1GB of Corsair RAM with no problems at all on the Neopower 480.  My sound works great.  It sounds like something was wrong with the PSU or something else in your system.  But if you replaced the PSU and everything is fine, then it sounds like you just got a bad Neopower PSU.

  • MOVED: MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (HELP!)

    This topic has been moved to AMD64 nVidia Based board.
    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (HELP!)

    Well we now know the motherboard... what about the rest of the components in the computer. When including specs on the powersupplies (post both the 400w and the 480w) include max amps for the 3.3v 5v and 12v rails. This info can be found on a sticker on the side of the PSU.
    Do you have the D-Bracket installed? If so where is it hanging at?
    Good Luck

  • MSI GTX560ti TwinFrozr2 (SLi) - Plz FFS Help :)

    **Problem**
    MSI GTX560ti TwinFrozr2 (SLi)
    Straight from box - never overclocked anything tbh
    275.33 Drivers
    Samsung SM 2693HM 26"
    Corsair TX 850w (recommended)
    Win 7 64bit Ultimate
    Other system hardware:

    Ok, until last week, I had a EVGA GTX295 card with no problems whatsoever but after installing the latest drivers - 275.33, completely at random times I would get the error: Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered. This generally happened when I played either Fable or Dragon Age 2. Got lots of artifacting, black screen, the error and the game stopped responding. It has also happened whilst browsing Firefox or simply opening a folder in my PC, but generally in games. Anyway, obviously searched the net for possible causes and attempted to fix but nothing worked. As I am Mr Impatient, I drove from the NE of England to Scan and bought 2 MSI GTX560ti TwinFrozr2 (SLi) thinking my EVGA card was faulty. Installed the 2 new cards, 275.33 drivers (without the nvidia update or HD Audio drivers), fresh install of Win 7, same problem. I have tested my system memory, 3 passes on each stick with no errors. The PSU is a recommended one, although it is 2 years old, possible decrease in power and peformance? I am thinking it must be a driver issue and will rollback to a previous version later tonight and see if that helps. I have also heard that a possible problem with stock voltage? I have never OC anything before so am a little wary of changing voltages as I am not sure how to do it without screwing cards up. In MSI Afterburner Core Clock shows as 2100Mhz, Shader Clock as 1760Mhz and Memory Clock as 880Mhz. Apparently certified voltage is 822mhz, Factory out of box is set to 880mhz, but have no idea how to change this and tbh I shouldnt have too after spending all this £ on hardware.
    Rolling back to 266 or 270 drivers did nothing. Temps are fine using 3d Mark/Unigine Heaven although I am getting the errors in 3dMark. I now reformatted, yet again, installed all latest hardware drivers, Mobo etc and the 270 nvidia drivers and I am still having problems. I dont have the facility of trying them in another PC but have tested cards one by one in PC and still get errors. Rang Scan up and all I got from there techs was, "me and a mate are running GTX460's in SLi using latest drivers and we have no problems". FFS, all I want is this sorted out. I spend loads with Scan and Overclockers and tbh support is rather cr*p (not you OC ). They say it is not the drivers, ok, the ONLY change I have done on my PC was install the nvidia latest drivers on my GTX295 and thats when the errors started happening. New cards and same problem. I am seriously considering taking my PC down to them and getting them to see the errors and damn sort it for me :(
    Further, memtestG80 and memtestCL both reported zero errors on both GPU's. Ran Unigine Heaven again and got as far as stage 20 and got error again, can hear the music in the background, system then crashes alt tab wont work, ctrl alt del wont work and reboot only option. 3DMark errored with some kernel error. Formatted again installed 266 drivers again same errors but this time when I try to update to 270/275 drivers I get a failed install.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated guyz

    Svet you were correct, I took the 2nd card out and ran Unigine Heaven and 3DMark and it passed twice no problems. Switched the cards over and I got the error within 20 seconds of Unigine Heaven and couldnt get past Test 2 in 3DMark, tried that one twice too and failed both times. Just spoke to Scan and they said bring it back and they will actually test the replacement card for me before I leave
    Damn what a simple solution all this time :/

  • PLEASE HELP! Restarting issue with K8N SLI. need bios help???

      Hi people,
    I would really appreciate some help this this problem im having. It’s a bit long winded but ill try to keep it short.
    My pcs spec is as follows –
    MSI K8N SLI (model MS-7185) motherboard
    AMD Athlon X2 64bit 4200+ cpu
    4 x 512mb ram
    Running with a Radeon X700 256mb graphics card.
    Ever since I purchased the machine ive been having problems with the pc loading up XP (or any OS for that matter!). Sometimes it would freeze on the loading screen and sometimes it would freeze on the black screen just after the loading screen.  Sometimes while running windows perfectly normally, a blue screen with writing describing the error came up and then the system restarted, however, I would only ever manage to read the title of the blue screen as the pc restarted so quickly. I remember seeing the word hardware though,  so I guessed it was a serious hardware issue. I lived with this for a few months thinking it might be something im doing that’s making it be so unreliable, such as a software issue, but I recently went on a mission to sort it out. The BIOS of the motherboard was password protected and I wasn’t aware of this until I had lost contact with who I had bought the system off, so I decided to restart the motherboard’s settings by pressing the reset button on the board itself. Next time I booted it up it told me that the defaults were restored etc and continued to boot windows, however now I can hardly get windows to start at all, the system restarts on the loading screen 8 times out of 10, and if it does boot up fully then it doesn’t last long before crashing on me. I messed about with a few of the BIOS settings, but to be honest I have no experience with working with these settings, its all very new to me. I have an idea  that it could be the processor or the graphics card causing the problem, just an inkling though!
    If anyone can help me I would appreciate it greatly. Thank you. Adam

    Can you furnish us some additional info on the 4 sticks of memory that you have?  Also on the power supply?  There is a label on the side of it that lists the manufacturer of the power supply and the amperage output for the 12volt power rail. 
    Thanks for your reply. here is some more info:
    4 x Kingston 512mb model no - KVR400X64 C34
    The power supply is a Sweex Advanced Gold 650W [BA000110]. max currennt on 12v rail is 25A
    Hope this helps. Thanks again for your reply.

  • MSI GT780DX Serious keyboard issue - Help Needed

    Hello everyone,
    I have an MSI GT780DX and a few months ago it started to fail the x key when I pressed it...
    After sometime it started failing the W key...
    Then it was the arrow down key...
    So I bought another keyboard and I managed to install it in place, the led lights worked just fine but I'm with a terrible issue now.
    The keys are all wrong, for example the space bar = backspace when I press it, the a = ; the  j=l and so on... all the keys are mixed up...
    Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this and how to fix it?
    My notebook is the msi gt780dx with Win 7 (its the original Win7 that came with the notebook)... The new keyboard has the same part number but its symbol for the windows key is different (it's the Win 8 logo)
    Please any help would be gladly appreciated.
    Best Regards.

    Hi I tried resetting the EC and no change...
    Then I try installing Win 8  but at the serial number screen the keys are already messed up...
    Tried with ubuntu also and the same.
    I'm assuming its not an OS related problem...
    And yes, warranty was already off when I switched the keyboards.
    Any other ideas?
    Does anyone also know where can I find a Win7 keyboard for this notebook?
    I'm running out of options...

  • MSI G41M-P23 FSB/core clock issue (HELP!)

    Alright, so a few days ago I bought an MSI G41M-P23 with 8 gb of DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) RAM (the standard for this board). My CPU is an E8400 (3.0 ghz). At first I wanted to maybe fiddle with some overclocking, which is where I realized that this mobo fails at. Not a big deal...but every time I attempted to up the FSB above 336 or so (this CPU's default is 333... x 9 = 3000 mhz), the system would not POST, instead it simply would loop on/off until eventually going back to defaults.
    That was fine with me -- I don't need to overclock, really. However, I noticed something odd in the BIOS. The CPU speed, which according to the fsb multiplier was the correct speed (2997 mhz), was very not correct in the CPU info section of the BIOS. There, it listed the speed at 1.8 ghz. Thus I decided, for the heck of it, to take at look at CPU-Z at this time.
    This is what CPU-Z is currently telling me (I have a screenshot, but I can't seem to post it here):
    In the "Clocks" section (bottom left of the main tab in CPU-Z)
    Core speed: ~1894 mhz
    Multiplier: x 9.0
    Bus Speed: ~210 mhz
    Rated FSB: ~842 mhz
    The RAM speeds and ratios are correct, though, given the FSB:RAM ratio (it would seem). Ram clocks in at ~333 mhz, which with a 5:8 ratio should put it at 1066...I think.
    So now CPU-Z and part(?) of the BIOS is showing me the wrong CPU speed (1800 mhz). It's also listing my FSB at 200 mhz despite the fact that my I set it in my BIOS at 333 mhz. The 200 Mhz adds up with the incorrect core speed, as 200 X 9 = 1800. If I go back to the BIOS, it lists the FSB correctly, and the POST screen displays the correct FSB and multiplier, but again, the CPU info screen of the bios is reading 1800 mhz, while listing the FSB as 333. I don't have any speedstep/CE1/other modifiers turned on, and this reading is currently under normal load (read: not idle). I'm at my wit's end here.
    Is this board not saving my FSB speeds in the BIOS? Is there any way to fix this issue? I apparently have the most up-to-date BIOS according to CPU-Z and MSI's support website. I have not tried every setting of the OC switch yet, though I have tried a few (200 -> 333, for example) and all have resulted in a system that will not POST, and leaves me having to reset the CMOS jumper in order to get it to boot again (as opposed to the looping/defaulting cycle mentioned earlier).
    Can someone PLEASE help me? I just reinstalled Windows 7 x64/all my programs because of this new board...and I really, really don't want to do that all again.

    Well, I heard back from MSI. They are just as confused over the BIOS version as I am, apparently.  V30.8 is not what is supposed to be on the board. So, rather than flash it and hope that it works, etc., I decided to simply return the board, as I've only had it for a few days, and bared used it. Something is clearly wrong with it to have an "unknown" BIOS installed.
    I went ahead and ordered a new CPU and mobo entirely...Core i5, too. No MSI board this time...only because they didn't have a board in my price range. I wanted this upgrade to be something easy and simple so I wouldn't have to do that.. oh well.
    I do find it very strange what's happened with this board, though....I've never before heard of ordering and receiving a board with an unknown BIOS on it...even according to the manufacturer. Maybe an out-of-date BIOS, but not something completely off the radar. Still, thank you again for your help.

  • Msi x99 sli plus issues

    Hi, i have a problem with usb 3.0 and the ethernet of the motherboard, not work properly...i resinstall windows and the problem persist. If i tried to put a mouse or keyboard on any of the usb 3.0. Not function. And the ethernet in windows, tell me that could not work properly...dont take the driver.

    I update de bios but the problem its still there...
    I dont now how i fixed...
    Any suggestions.
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi
    Try to install drivers located on this website:
    http://uk.msi.com/support/mb/X99S-SLI-PLUS.html#down-driver
    Make sure to pick correct operating system.
    Which exactly USB port do not work?
    Also, does device manager show any errors? Like here:
    Within device manager you can try to run "Scan for hardware changes" (or something like this) and see if that helps.
