MSI z77 MPOWER Poor GPU Benchmarks!! HELP?

I just installed my MSI Z77 MPOWER yesterday.
Specs
Case - NZXT Switch 810 White
Power supply - Corsair TX750m
Motherboard -MSI Z77 MPOWER
CPU - Intel -5 2500k
CPU Cooler - Corsair h80i (Love this thing.)
Memory - Mushkin 16gb Blackline
SSD - 2x 128gb Sandisk Extreme
Storeage - WD Caviar Black 1TB
Graphics Card - GTX670 Galaxy 1062Boost - 6368 Memory Clock
Fans - 4 Corsair sp120's (I Hate them, so im buying noctua)
NZXT 140's
OS 1 Windows 7 Ultimate
OS 2 Mac OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Full Video, Audio, Ethernet Support, Still working on usb3.0 its been giving me a hard time.
Now i love this board. Probably the best motherboard of 2012 hands down. Now my only gripe is im getting poor performance with unigine heaven. I have not tried other benchmarks besides geekbench and thats cpu related. Now my previous mobo was the p67 fatality performance, which was an ok mobo, i had some issues hense the new Mpower. I was gettting 1500-1600 points on heaven with everything maxed out @1920x1080p on the asrock fatality board. I have an effective stable cpu overclock of 4.4ghz and im not going further, i dont need to, my current gpu specs are above. with the msi moard im getting 1100 and thats putting lightly, one time i got 900. Now what do you suppose my issue is? I seen an option in bios settings>PCI subsystem settings> PCI BUS clocks are at 32, Is that the preferred clock for that, or is any of the other options like 248 bus clocks? Im not familiar with this bios setting as i didnt have this in my last board? I need input on this issue.

I usually set mine at 64, but unless you have other add-in cards, I don't think that setting makes much difference.

Msi z77 mpower. higher than 8gb = reboot loop. help.

Hey guys I'm posting this in hopes that maybe someone could figure out what is causing my new build to reboot loop without post if I added anything higher than 8gb of ram stick. I updated the bios to latest non-beta version, drivers all updated, and made sure that all connectors were correct and properly attached.
Here is my build:
i7 3770k
Corsair H80 liq.cooling
MSI Z77 Mpower Mobo
Corsair Vengeance 16gb (4x4gb) 1600MHz [9-9-9-24]
Asus Geforce GTX 670
Corsair AX850 psu
2 WD Black 1gb HD
Win 7 Ultimate 64bit SP1
Everything is at default options since I didn't want to overclock without including the full 4 sticks of ram. Whenever I add a stick into slots 1 or 2 while having a stick in either(or both) slots 3 and/or 4, and attempt to start it up, the mobo's debug shows 55(early memory initialization) and then gets stuck in a reboot loop. It boots up fine if I only add 1 stick in either slot 1 or 2 but if I add either a stick in slot 3 or 4 or add a stick in 2 while having a stick in 1, reboot loop occurs. I've searched everywhere for similar problems and actually did find one on this forums, https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162331.0, except that the thread starter's problems were about getting the reboot loop problem after he has overclocked his system and nothing about the number of ram he has added.
fyi: the mobo names ram slots(from left to right) as slots 3, 4, 1, 2 (in case anyone gets confused reading what I have wrote above)
Some assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Honestly, it doesn't matter what slots are what number because I cannot add a 3rd stick (more than 8gb) without pc going into reboot loop and or any variations of dual channel setup without pc going into reboot loop.

Sounds like maybe the DRAM V. is being set too low by the BIOS. Raise it to 1.55-1.575v's and see if that resolves it.
using your #1 image, if i try to add stick in dimm1&3 or dimm2&4 it would reboot loop. If I tried 1&4 or dimm2&3 it would reboot loop.
If i tried dimm3&4 it would reboot loop.
BUT if I did dimm1&2 like I have it right now, it would boot up with no problems. I have already tried raising the DRAM V with no luck as well.

MSI Z77 MPOWER ATX rebboting over and over.

Hi guys! i really hope u can help me.. i recently bought a new computer and yesterday i built it together. Everything looks fine and seems good. THOUGH!! when iam starting it up it constatly restarts after like 5 seconds? I unplugged the GPU which i putted in PCi-E slot 2 to make more room in the barebone. After i unplugged it seems to boot up normally? Anyone have any suggests? these are the components iam using:
MSI Z77 MPOWER ATX
Intel Core i5 3550 3,3Ghz (Ivy Bridge)
Corsair 16GB (4x4096MB) CL9 1600Mhz VENGEANCE
ASUS GeForce GTX 660 2048MB DirectCUII OC
Fractal Design Newton R2, 800W 80+ Modulär
1TB Seagate/Samsung Barracuda 7200rpm
//Tobias

What happens when you put the vga in the top PCIE slot?
Are the 6 / 8 pin connectors hooked up to the vga securely?
The 2x 4pin cpu connectors (JPWR)
Do you have another vga to test the pcie slots/ another computer to test the vga?
Inspecting the pins would be a good idea as well as that is a common cause for pcie lane failure.
Also, sometime the default bios for some boards don't work with the 660 vga's try the beta:

I had Already install the last BIOS from MSI support, that don't change anything.
I will be glad to get help , i barely going to send back all stuff to seller
and go back to Asus Board...
Thx for the help

Problem with starting msi z77 Mpower

Hello
i 've just bought a Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 800W
and a mobo msi z77 mpower(today)
i have this problem
i have tested the psu with 2 different mobo (the msi stated before and a asus p8z77 v pro) and in both cases the psu fan runs for few seconds and the it stops.i have tried it with and without cpu , with and without case fans , i have the same problem it turns the fans for few seconds and then it stops as if dose not have enough power.
tested the psu with the paper clip test and it works , but when i put the 24 pin connectors and the 8 pin connectors on the motherboard it dosen't. Maybe i do something wrong ?
I've speak with tech support from cooler master and it seems it's not the psu
honestly i don't know what eles to try /do
can you help me?
thank you in advance

To go a step farther, when the board is outside of the case, you should have a monitor connected to the onboard graphics or a discrete card, 1 stick of RAM in the primary DIMM slot, and CPU with it's cooler for initial startup. Be sure to test on a non conductive surface of unprinted plain cardboard or an untreated wood surface.

MSI Z77 MPower Ram issues

Hi guys
I recently installed the MSI Z77 MPower after replacing it with the Asrock extreme 4 mobo which i had before, am currently having problems with the RAM it wont boot if i place them in the correct slots for dual channel configurations but if i place them in the last two slots the PC boots up fine.
My Ram is the G Skill Ripjaw X series 1600mhz model number: F3-12800CL8-4GBXM.
Its driving me nuts two motherboards and nothing working, i just hope its not relating to my CPU or something like that.
Please...please guys really need your help with this, because without it running in dual channel configuration my first build feels incomplete due to this problem.
Thanks in advance

Hi guys thanks for the replies and sorry for the late reply has i said before my MSI MPOWER Z77 motherboard is totally brand new and i know for a fact that no bent pins in the cpu socket, from what i am aware of, if my RAM is related due to the type of RAM modules that i am using and you guys are suggesting corsair modules which ones do you guys recommend me getting. You know when i said only slot 3 and 4 only worked could that be in a result of the RAM am using or not....??
Thanks in advance guys

MSI Z77 MPower sound problem

I have MSI Z77 MPower and i have problem with sound. When i play audio i have feeling that sound automatically volume up and volume down. When i uninstall THX i have feeling that is everything OK but sound is not loud like before.I try on THX turn off smart volume and cristalyzer but problem is still here. Can you help me.

I had the same issue with an early version of THX, have you downloaded the newest version from the website?
>>MSI Downloads<<
Update all of your drivers and re-test. In my case I just un-installed THX until the next version came out and it's fine now.

Overclocking 3770k and MSI z77 Mpower

I recently purchased a new PC with these specs and wanted to get started overclocking it. I tried a soft overclock of just 4.4ghz and it seems to be hit or miss. I'm fairly new to overclocking so i'm not 100% sure what changes I should be making to increase stability or what the symptoms are of an unstable OC aside from the system crashing.
I grabbed a few pieces of software to get started, CPUZ, Prime95 and Realtemp. Not sure if I need anything else. I also noticed the motherboard has an overclocking profile feature, is it possible to share overclocks with other people and have them work?
Anyways any help would be appreciated, thank you!

I also did a bios update yesterday to h.80 or ...latest that liveupdate gave me. I used the tool on MSIHQ to format a USB stick to do it and it seemed to do it for me on restart.

First, careful with live update and bios update. Using the forum flash tool and archives here is safer. >>BIOSes<<
As for the overclocking recommendations, first we need to know what kinda of OC you want to do? A turbo type w/ all power savings intact? If so here are some screen shots of similar boards: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162043.0
The big things that people miss at first is vdroop. If you want to oc very much, you will need to manually set that to 100% for starters.
Otherwise, post screen shots of you uefi bios settings and we can look it over.

MSI Z77 Mpower + 3770K cpu doesn't clock down

Hi MSI Guys, need your help :
my back-up rig is now on duty, but cpu does not clock down, in default cpu speed or overclocked cpu speed
MSI Control Center doesn't shows cpu clock down, core temp 1.0 RC4 either, CPU-Z 1-62.0 x64 the same, only real temp 3.70 does.
In bios every thing regarding cstates and power saving are enabled :
RIG INFO:
CPU: 3770K
MAINB: MSI Z77 MPower
RAM: Corsair Platinum 16GB 2400mhz
VGA: 2XMSI Lightning GTX 680
OS: Windows 7X64 (7601)
PSU: Enermax Revo 85+ 1250W

Make sure in advanced, the min max cpu states are what you want them to be and if they are, try the newest beta. Looks like you have H53, it is up to: H57.
Also, after you flashed you bios last, did you re-installed the Intel ME drivers from Intel Downloads?
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=22092&keyword=management+engine&lang=eng
Edit: A clearing of the cmos may help as well. >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
i've update the bios as well, and made a correct clear cmos as you linked me to, and even updated those drivers as suggested, and nothing changes
Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 14-November-12, 04:36:38
Tried with CPU Phase Control 'Enabled'?
yes this too doesnt have any effect
just real temp 3.70 is reading the correct cpu speed, i went on another os installed on my system and no program reads cpu clock down & turbo mode speeds, only Real Temp 3.70 does.
why? what is wrong now?

MSI Z77 MPOWER RAM compatablilty.

Hi,
I am building my first computer and plan on buying the MSI Z77 MPOWER soon, but im not sure if the RAM I have chosen is compatible with the MB as they are not in the compatibility list.
System specs:
case: CoolerMaster Storm Trooper
CPU: i7 3770k (hopefully overclock'd to 4.6ghz)
RAM: 16GB
GPU: 2x Nvidia 480 SLI
HDD: 120GB SSD (to start with)
OS: Windows 7
RAM in question:
Corsair Vengeance CMZ16GX3M2A1600C9 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3
or
Corsair Vengeance Pro CMY16GX3M2A1600C9R 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3
Thank you in advance
mike.

Manufacturers cannot test each and every RAM in the market.
Corsair Vengeance RAM has proven to be compatible with just about every MSI board. Their RAM is normally JEDEC standard and you should not have any problems. Either one of those kits should serve you well.

Msi z77 Mpower / USB 3.0 / Windows

hey, ive just got a msi z77 mpower motherboard with a i7 3770k and i'm trying to format a samsung 500Gb Sata 2 hard drive using a kingston data traveler 111 16Gb USB 3.0 flash drive with windows 7 x64 on it. If i boot up / run the windows 7 x64 install from the flash drive when its plugged in to the top 2 USB 2.0 ports on the back of the board it runs the windows install fine and formats everything ok but if i plug the flash drive in to the USB 3.0 ports it loads up but when it gets to the part what ask's '' which type of installation do you want '' upgrade or custom. i click on custom and it says
'' A required CD/DVD device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk,
CD, DVD or USB flash drive, please insert it now.
Note. If the windows installation media is in the drive, you can safely
remove it for this step ''
I know the copy of windows on the flash drive is fine as it works in the USB 2.0 port and i have got the computer up and running but would like to know what the problem is and how i can fix it
Thanks
Mrtin

Thanks for the post Nekopito1
i had a look on google and found its not my motherboards USB 3.0 ports its windows 7 installer not supporting USB 3.0

Msi z77 mpower sli and areca raid controller

Hello, i own an Msi z77 mpower and i have recently upgraded to an SLI config (dual GTX680's)
The problem is since then i can't get my hardware raid card (Areca arc-1212, with latest bios) to work, it bleeps but i don't get the raid info screen or menu.
I've put both the graphic cards in the top two pcie 16x slots (PCI_E2 and PCI_E5) and my Areca in the bottom one (PCI_E7)
As far as i understand i should be able to run 3 pcie cards at 8x/4x/4x right?
The only slot where the Areca works is the PCI_E5 slot, and i can't put a GTX680 in the PCI_E7 slot because of spacing.
I'm also running a Xonar sound card in one of the pcie 1x slots (PCI_E4)
Running with a Intel I7 3770k and 4x4gb of ram and Windows 7 x64.
I'm running the latest beta bios.
Please help!

Thanks for the fast reply!
But what use does the 3th slot have then?
Also a 4x gen3 slot has the same bandwith as a 8x gen2 slot right?
I feel a bit mislead, knowing this i would have chose a different board.
Other boards will have the same problem. The CPU has 16 lanes to divide and Nvidia demands 8/8 for SLI. That leaves no lanes left for the third slot.
Using CrossFire should leave you 8/4/4 as AMD doesn't demand 8/8 for CrossFire.
You'll need the use the slots using the lanes coming from the PCH if you want to use additional PCI-e devices.
The X79 platform might suite your needs better. That has 32 lanes to divide from the CPU + the ones from the PCH.

MSI Z77 Mpower, screen cannot be found.

Hello!
Recently I was moving parts from my old case to a new one.
My old motherboard (ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3) stopped working, due a static shock or something.
I then bought a Z77 Mpower motherboard, PC started.
But my problem now is that Gainward 670GTX GPU cannot recognize my screen, I have tried HDMI and DVI as Ive always used.
The 670 card's fan is running, every LED light, fan inside the computer works. Cables are correct.
I tried with my old 560Ti from MSI and got picture on my screen within a secound.
Im pretty sure all the parts works together, anyways here is the setup im running:
MSI Z77 MPower
Intel i7 2600k
Gainward 670GTX
4x4GB Kingston DDR3 HyperX 1600MHz
BenQ 24" LCD G2420HD
Corsair CX 750W
Could be that the 670 GTX got a static shock as well? But then again, should the fan be running if it did?
Any suggestions, please and thank you.

The Beta's I linked are MSI releases, not hack files, so I use them if there is something in the change log that may benefit the system.
Please use the forum's USB flash method, very safe. Live Update for a BIOS flash sends shivers down my spine.
W8 huh? Well, I think we found the problem. The VBIOS needs to be updated to support GOP I think is the name of it? I am a staunch non supporter of W8, so I have not run into these W8 related problems.
Hopefully a forum mod or other user will be along shortly to advise on the steps to get your GTX 670 to work right.

Not sure what the problem is. Thanks for you help. Those over clocking charts are helpful but not specific to MSI Z77 Mpower mother board and the BIOS is different. Not sure if they are updated to include the new CPU features of "Hardware Prefetcher" item and "Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch" that BIOS 17.6 started to use.

BCLK STUCK!!! BIOS 17.6 Problem with Prefetcher???MSI Z77 Mpower

BIOS 17.6 added the new CPU features.
I think the new BIOS CPU features of "Hardware Prefetcher" item and "Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch" options are part of the problem. When I disable hardware prefetcher my memory performance shoots way down. BUGGY!!!!
I am unable to over clock my BCLK. What is going on!!! HELP!!!
