MSI Z77A-G43 crossfire?

i got a quick 1
can the MSI Z77A-G43 run dual crossfire yes or no?
can't find a soilid answer on the main website saying yes or no but looking at the express slots i think
just don't want to make a mistake.
i'm doing some searching for a clan mate not to well known in pc building.

I have the same question...? Do you mean 'dual' Crossfire as in 4 Videocards.. or 2 Videocards in PCI_E2 & PCI_E4?
The answer is... this board can run 2 cards in Crossfire. In E2 & E4 as explained in the owners manual.
You can not use the other slots for CrossFire.
Tell your Clan Mate..that All are welcome here, and not to think any question is unable to be asked. We were All newbee's at one point in time.. and a lot of us still are not experts. We just like to help and be helped.
Plus if the posting guide is read, it will be learned that going to 'Profile' and listing the PCs equipment will give us better information about the PC, to be able to help better.
Welcome, Good Luck

Can i crossfire two radeon 7950's with msi Z77A-G43

Im looking to buy MSI's version of the Radeon 7950 twin Frozr to complete my system but im not sure if i will eventually be able to crossfire two of these cards in the future. I know that this MB only has one PCIe3 slots. Does this matter in crossfire? or will I have to replace the MB in order to corssfire?
MSI Z77A-G43
8gb Corsair Vengence
600 Watt Corsair PSU
Intel Core i5 3770k Oc's at 4.2 ghz

Cooler Master hyper EVO 212

that should work but at PCI-E REV 2.0 speeds just make sure you have gen 3 support turned off or it will not allow crossfire!

Black screen at boot MSI Z77A-G43 with HD7850

Hi,
I've tried everything You suggested in this topic. I've upgrade and downgrade bios (official 2.3, 2.4, 2.8, 2,9 / beta 256, 281,296) few times but still is black screen at boot. Now i'm on the newest beta bios 296 and still same issue on Sapphire HD 7850 with my Z77a-G43 board. I know for sure that sapphire working well because I've checked on other mobo with even worst PSU (400W instead 550W Volcano). Before hd 7850 I had gtx460 and swith those few times and always gtx460 works fine, so I don't understand anything right now.
Tried different slots, also clear cmos.

Do you see the same problem on bios 2.90?
The Z77A-G43 seems the have difficulties accepting HD7xxx AMD VGA cards lately.
It seems that the problem is gone. I thought of it being an ATI driver issue ~ but not even the latest didn't fix it. But since I flashed to BIOS 2.9 I haven't encountered the problem anymore. So I believe something is fixed between 2.3 to 2.9.
However my problem was a bit different that the OP has.
Oh, and I said this on other thread so I say it here too: MSI and Asus 7xxx cards haven't faced the kind of issues Sapphires are having. I'm so glad to my choice... as I almost picked Sapphire but then read comments on Newegg which weren't in favor for Sapphire.

Three beeps when booting new computer with MSI Z77A-G43 Mobo

I just built this pc and pressed the power button. Nothing happens for a few seconds and then I hear 3 beeps from the PC speaker. It powers off by itself and opens again, with 3 beeps again, and repeats this until i press the power button to close it down forcefully.

3 beeps is a memory failure!
try each stick in slot 2 individually as you may possibly have a bad stick?
if the first suggestion doesn't work remove the CPU and check the socket as you may have a bent pin in there causing the issue?

I bought a MSI Z77A-G43 and 1st PCIE(3.0 I guess) slot doesn't work?

I bought a MSI Z77A-G43 and 1st PCIE (3.0 I guess) slot doesn't work? I mean when I put my gf card in it , my screen wont start. BUt when I put it to other blue Pcie (2.0 I guess) it works. What will be the reason? Do I need to do anything in bios ?

I had a similar situation recently.
1.) Check the cpu/ socket for damage
2.) Remove the mobo and make sure there are no extra stand off's under the board.
3.) Check the pci/e slot for obstruciton or debris
Other than that it's probably going to be an rma issue.

MSI Z77A-G43-memory problem

Hello
I bought lately new cpu,mb and memory. When i turned it on it was still rebooting after few seconds after start. So i treid to put just one memory in slot. It worked but only if memory is in bank 3 or 4. In 1,2 computer is still rebooting. Also it works with two memory modules, but putted in 3,4 slots only. And just in single channel. I saw that many people have the same problem and shop service wrote them that it works like that. First You put memory in slots 3,4 and then in 1,2. It is strange for me. I don't have two another memory modules to check if this is true and I want to that it works in dual channel, not single. So, is this true or mb is broken?

Hello. I have the same problem, except, I use 4 Dimms in 4 slots on my MSI board. I installed speaker on MB to see if there are any beep sounds during the booting, but all seems ok. The problem is the PC keeps still rebooting after about 5 sec. from the start. There aren´t any visual information on screen, since the start is so short. I tried to install dimms in 2nd and 4th slot first. Then to 1st and 3rd. In both cases the problem was still the same. When I put all rams in all 4 slots, the result is the same (restart for ethernity). The only way that goes is the PC runs with only 1 dimm in either 1st or 2nd slot. I tested all the memory modules and all of them work fine. I even tried this on a differennt mainboard from ASUS P8Z77-V LX. Now I tested it on MSI Z77A-G43. Both mainboards are new. There is a very slim change that both of them would be defective. Before I got MSI MB, I ran couple of days on the ASUS MB and everything was perfect, so I don´t think that CPU is defective. I even ran a few benchmarks on it. But I still don´t understand why can´t I run the system with all 16 GB of RAM instead of 4 GB in one slot. Please help me.

MSI Z77A-G43 GAMING LGA 1155 MOTHERBOARD

Does anyone know where I can get one of these in the UK, everywhere I look it says out of stock/discontinued..... I mean everywhere
I have no choice to get a z77 version of the motherboard as im running an i5 3350p ivy bridge which is a 1155 socket.
any help or location of this product would help.... I wish MSI would just sell their stuff too.

was easy as just typing it in on amazon enjoy!!!!
Thanks for the reply I did see that one but I was looking for the red and black dragon emblem one, its seem everyone of these I find is somehow discontinued.
prefer the red and black as its goes with the colours scheme I have also matches the 2 msi GPU's I have, just wondered if anyone knows of a UK retailers of this version
As a side note the blue and black doesnt look as impressive XD

MSI Z77A-G43 UEFI Overvolt+Intel Exteme Tuner Overvolt combo

Hey all,
I just wanted to run past you an experiment I did and I think worked.
I currently overclock my i5-3570k with an every day overclock of 4.4 at no offset voltage and a benchmark overclock of 4.7 at +.14V - however my benchmark overclock isnt exactly stable.
I noticed in Exteme Intel Tuning Utility There's a slider there for additional mV turbo voltage. I'm multiplier overclocking for my benchmark overclock with no power saving features and my voltage tops out at around 1.34V but when I add additional mV on Intel Extreme Tuner it goes to 1.38V. It also made me pass my 3dmark at 4.7 which is hit-or-miss but now worked every single time and also passed IBT.
Could this truly be modifying my input voltage on the CPU beyond the motherboard's limited offset mV overclocking?
Is this super dangerous and should I never do it again?
thoughts/opinions
also obligatory 3dmark link

1.400v's on the CPU is the industry recommended limit for an everyday machine, so whatever way it gets there shouldn't make any difference.

If not doing a 'Turbo' OC, I don't see the connection with mV turbo setting. If raising the mV on the Intel utility raises the voltage to the CPU, and it is confirmed, then it must work as you have described.

MSI Z77A-G43 and mixed drive types

Hi,
I have an own-built desktop using a MSI Z77A-G43 motherboard. The OS boots from an SSD but all documents, media, etc, are stored on 2x1TB HDDs, configured as RAID.
However, having performed a benchmark on my SSD I'm finding that it's speed is half what it should be. It's connected to the SATA 3 connector on the MB.
I'm wondering if the issue is that, because of the RAID drives, I have the SATA mode as RAID in the BIOS. Is it falling back to IDE for non-RAID drives? Is there a way to force it to use AHCI?
Any thoughts/help on this would be greatly appreciated.
David.

Well, checking you manual will clear up your confusion. SATA 3 is the connector number while SATA III is a terminology for SATA 6GB/s. Some say just SATA 3 meaning SATA III but that's just wrong terminology. The SATA 3 connector and all others but SATA 1 & 2 are 3GB/s (1-22 of the manual by the way)

MSI Z77A-G43 DRAM underclocking

hello guys, for some reason my DRAM on my MSI Z77A-G43 board underclocks itself.
i went into my bios and set it to run at 1600 mHz but when i use CPU-Z to check my actual DRAM speed it is only at 800 mHz.
so here is my questions, how does this happen and how can i fix it?
link for my current settings:

if not already done, update your bios to the latest.
then after that, go to bios, disable x.m.p., set (relating ram) everything auto, but select 1600 mhz for your ram, and then remember to LINK the timings if u have 2 or more ram sticks, now set the timings, 9-9-9-20 (or 22, or 24), and u should be fine.
x.m.p. is crap, 1) it feeds too much voltage 2) it sets the worst timings.

MSI z77A-G43 - After Shutdown - Fans will not turn off

Just installed a new MSI Z77A-G43 Motherboard for my husband since his old motherboard died. The one thing I've noticed though is that the fans will not turn off after I do a shutdown and I'd have to do a manual shut down instead. Any ideas what could be happening? Also it will randomly restart when not shutdown completely with the fans still on.
Here are the specs of the PC.
MOBO: Z77A-G43
Processor: Intel i5 - 2500k Quad Core
Video Card: Geforce - GT 610
Ram: 8 Gigs
Hard Drive - 128gb ssd and 1.5 tb hdd
It's really barebones since I'm trying to just get it to run then get it back to normal working order with the next pay check
EDIT!!!!::
Forgot OS is Window 7 Ultimate X64

If you are sure that your CPU is seated properly and that the PWM fan connector is seated correctly, then you may want to test with another known working PSU. I am not saying that your PSU is faulty, but before exhanging the board, I would definitely test that as well.
EDIT: Just a question, did you disconnect the power switch and the other front panel connectors of your case and started the PC by shorting the Power switch [pins 6 and 8 on JFP 1]with a screw driver tip ? The remote possibility exits that the cables may have been connected incorrectly or may have a short.
