MSI z87 G 43 Gaming MB - Audio DAC question

I just got Beyerdynamic DT-990 pro 250ohm headset today, it is my first studio grade headset so I am quite clueless in how to properly set it up. I have the MSI Z87 G43 Gaming Motherboard - http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z87-G43-GAMING.html
Which is said to have support for up to 600ohm headset. Now, I connected my headset to the front headset jack on my PC, I can hardly hear anything, not only that, the left and right channels are outputting the same sound.
I then tried connecting on the back, it is much better. I thought this motherboard's amp was built in the frontside, anyone with this motherboard or lineup help me out with this?
And finally, most of my audio sounds low with maximum increased volume, and i never knew this headset has no build in volume controls like all other headsets I have used. Anyway to increase the volume too?
Thank you for your help, much appreciated.

Hi,
Front panel will always be lower quality than what the actual motherboard ports offer.
Motherboard's "sound card" is nothing special, it's there for a simple user without special demands. If you really want to experience something of better quality, it's always best solution to buy dedicated sound card. In many cases, almost cheapest one can offer better sound than motherboard's integrated sound.
Do you have all the drivers installed for the motherboard, and possibly for headset?

1.65v bsod as well
who crashed says amd ccc is causing the issue reinstalled with driver from asus and latest also the beta same issue is happening
this is why I think its the main board but was going to run the system from intel gpu by removing the amd gpu from system maybe even test an alt slot x8 to see what happens
currently testing r9 280z card with default gpu clock 850mhz instead of 1000mhz incase that's whats causing it
I know this is another post the other post does not have edit on the post any more so making you aware of this
any one got any ideas as to what to try next

OC Genie on the MSI Z87 GD-65 Gaming Motherboard Questions?

Hey Everyone,
My name is Mark Findlay. I am new here but came to ask a few questions about my motherboard I have had since about July of 2014.
I have overclocked with motherboards many times before but was curious about the OC Genie option when I had installed the board and
was happy to find that it overclocked my CPU to 4.0Ghz with out a single BSOD ever and has been great with temps. Just around 22c-28c
with an H110 from Corsair.
Anyways, I would like to know if when using OC Genie, is 4.0Ghz all I can get from the Auto OC feature? I mean is it going through and finding what my CPU is capable of and setting it to the best speed and settings so it doesn't have stability issues? I would like to OC it more and I know I should just take the time and go through with a standard overclock but I would like to know if you can edit or change things that OC Genie at all?
Thank you and I hope someone out there can tell me for sure either way how to do it or that it is not possible!
MSI is the best by the way~!
-PTIPPY aka Mark Findlay

Hello,
As far as I'm aware of, OC Genie is limited to those 4.0GHz (or 4.4GHz for i7 4790k), yet depending on the CPU you have( I guess you have 4670k?). So if you want anything further, you need to do it yourself.
On motherboard like Z97 MPower Max there is a little switch that increases OC Genie function's clocks even more, but not sure about GD65 (I doubt it has something like this)

Z87 GD-65 Gaming with MSI R9 280X 3G BF4 (OMG-:censored:-BBQ)

Good morning!
I built a new gaming rig last week, and I cannot get the graphics card to work.
My spec is:
Intel i7 4770K
MSI Z87 GD-65 Gaming
16GB 2400MHz RAM
250Gb SSD
1Tb HDD
1000W Modular PSU
I've managed to install all components, and successfully run Windows 7 64 without the graphics card, but as soon as I insert the card (with power off and PSU lead removed) and try to start up the machine, neither the HDMI from the motherboard or the graphics card work.
As a note, the mobo HDMI leaves the monitor searching for a signal, and when using the GPU the screen says there is a signal, but it shows either nothing, or purple or green vertical stripes on the display.
Has anyone had this issue before?
I've tried to register the items with MSI, but the product registration center isn't working.
Many thanks,
Jax C

Problem Solved(ish)!
I used a DVI cable, and it worked straight away! - Cheers Svet!
Once I had installed the drivers and CCC etc, then the HDMI started working.
I've got no idea why this is the case, but I'm just glad I resolved it!
As a side note, on start-up, nothing appears until the Windows 'Welcome' screen - no BIOS screen (as if on a secondary monitor). Is there a way to change this?

Z87 gd-65 gaming overclock and bip issue

hi guys,
i have some problems with his motherboard.
If i set the multiplier at x42 with 1.2V, Windows set temps dinamically from 0.1 to 1.35v when i run Linx 0.6.5, why?
If i load default value and after i press oc genie on the motherboard the system doesn't boot.
The initial bip of speaker doesn't ring.
I have 1.5 bios, i update this?
My configuration
Mobo: msi z87 gd-65 gaming
Proc: i7 4770k
Ram: gskill sniper 1866 4*4gb
psu: corsair tx 950w
Vga: sapphire 6950@70
the setting of bios are this
thanks

Quote from: Sea Dog on 27-April-14, 09:10:16
Newer released mainboards eliminated the POST beep, counting of USB devices, etc..
The board I got to test with didn't exhibit any problems up to 44X on Auto everything so I can't really expand on what the trouble might be on your system. Some Intel CPU's really stink, but most Haswells from what I have seen will do at least 42X with everything on Auto. Have you tried the Turbo OC method? Return the CPU Ratio to Auto and set the Core Ratios in CPU Features all to 42X? Increase the power limits & durations in CPU Features? Sometimes these settings will help when RAM is OC'd, SA to 0.970v's - 0.0975v's, I/O 1.07v's. For CPU support, sometimes PLL V. increase will help. Try 1.82v's - 1.84v's. Also, maybe try setting VDroop to 100% in the Digital sub section. 1.35v's seems an excessive amount of voltage to run just a 42X stable.
i have set the parameter how you said, but the frequency doesn't go at 4200 but remain fixed at 3500. at power limits & durations in CPU Features how much i set?
I set all at default, and after 45 second of linx avx 1 this is the result:
the temps are very high and the tension is 1.35v sets from motherboard.
Is the processor very unfortunally, Or is a motherboard problem?
thanks
i have changed thermal compound and the result is the same.

MOVED: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G + MSI Z87-G45 incompatible? Noise on speakers

This topic has been moved to MSI Intel boards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=184068.0

Used hardware
MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G (+ RMA'ed new one)
Gigabyte 670 GTX Windforce
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming motherboard (with Intel i7-4770K, Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB, and Crucial M500 - 480GB SSD)
Asus P5N32-E with Q6600 and 8GB DDR2 (Going to test this)
SoundBlaster-Z Audio card
Roccat Kave 5.1 Gaming Headphones (4x 3.5 mm jacks: Front, Rear, Center&bass, Microphone + USB amp/volume control)
Corsair B600 (600W) PSU (secondary)
Corsair RM750 (750W) PSU (Primary)
To summarize
Corsair RM750 + MSI Z87-G45 + Gigabyte GTX 670 + Roccat Kave = really faint noise only when scrolling in browser, in game not heard
Corsair RM750 + MSI Z87-G45 + MSI GTX 970 + Roccat Kave = in game loud and heavy noise + screech when scrolling in browser
Corsair RM750 + MSI Z87-G45 + MSI GTX 970 + Soundblaster-Z + Roccat Kave = In game moderate to heavy noise
Corsair B600 + MSI Z87-G45 + MSI GTX 970 + Soundblaster-Z + Roccat Kave = In game weak to moderate noise
Corsair B600 + MSI Z87-G45 + MSI GTX 970 + Soundblaster-Z + Roccat Kave with Mic disconnected = Almost no noise, ifg you listen for it, really faint background noise in game. But well within my acceptable limits.
Tomorrow I'll try:
Corsair B600 + MSI Z87-G45 (onboard sound) + MSI GTX 970 + Roccat Kave without mic
Corsair RM750 + Asus P5N32-E (onboard sound) + MSI GTX 970 + Roccat Kave with mic
I failed to mention, that the first thing I did was to remove my HD Audio Front panel connector off its header.
So I did some more searches. The noise has something to do with the capacitors on (presumably) the video card. The higher the pitch usually coincides with higher FPS. So the interference must be coming from the video card, as this is the last thing added and probably the main cause.
Both the motherboard & the SoundBlaster-Z pick up the EMI/RF interference. (I am disappointed by the SoundBlaster about this).
I'll test with the older motherboard and see how I proceed from there.

Msi z87-g45 gaming, no display, no beep.

I am building a gaming computer. When i turn on my computer the cpu fan spins quickly then immediately slows down to a slow spinning state. My Boost audio light is on as well. But i get no display. I have tried the DVI HDMI and VGA outputs. I also accidentally pressed the cmos button while the compute was on. I also removed my mobo battery for 5 mins. Oh and on top of all that i dont have my standoffs. So maybe the board is short circuiting. But if that was the case my is my cpu fan remaining on as well as my boost audio light?
Here are my specs:
Ultra 550w ATX Power Supply
2 DDR3 in slots 2 and 4
Cpu with no bent pins (that i can tell)
Thanks for your help.

Im having exactly the same problem did you manage to get it working in the end?
The board has been tested by aria computing and came back fine they have also replaced the RAM and CPU incase they were the problem. Il list all the things Iv tried so far. Thing that gets me is there is no beep when I turn it on so something is wrong and im banging my head against the wall not being able to figure it out.
Checked both power connections many many times
Check for shorts
Changed power supply
Changed RAM (and tested in all configerations)
Tested 3 monitors on all ports (onboard DVI, VGA and HDMI)
Put 3 GPU's in it as well and tested all ports on them
Tested on a low end CPU
Tried out of case with just power leads and a monitor connected (no HD,USB,frount audio)
Reset COSMOS and checked the battery

Slow power on b4 seeing MSI logo (MSI Z87-G43 GAMING)

My question is, why it takes up to 10 seconds to power on before seeing the MSI logo.
My rig boots in Windows 8.1 Pro UEFI mode with RAID, see summary of rig below.
When booting it sometimes takes up to 10 seconds for the MSI screen to appear, the one with the MSI logo. Once the MSI logo appears the boot is fast, usually between 6 to 8 seconds.
Total boot time around 16 seconds

To be clear, or at least for me to be clear, what you see in the screenshot is the BOOT and not the POST, during the actual POST (power on self-test), the user should not see anything on the display.
Is that correct or have I got it wrong.

MSI Z87-G45 Gaming, sound from USB mouse?

Hi!
I have some issue from my new computer, see spec below.
For the information I have a MSI Z87-G45 motherboard.
I have some sound that occurs sometimes (specially during the first 2-5 minutes) when i move the mouse around.
It occurs as well sometimes when I been using the computer for a while, basically random just more frequently at the start-up.
It's hard to know from where the sound occurs, could be PSU but today I read something on another forum about the motherboard I'm using:
- Higher sound quality using USB, thanks to special adapted current power.
So i wounder if this can be the case? Is that the reason why i get this noise from inside the computer?
Is there some way to disabled this "feature" in BIOS?
Greetings

The sound sounds like the old mechanics hdd kinda.
It comes inside the computer, not the speakers.
My feelings is that it can be the PSU as well, just wanted to check this first, since it most often comes when i move my mouse.

MSI Z87 G45 GAMING erratic BSOD/freeze @ 2300, stable @1600. Can't solve.

Hi All,
I would welcome some advice. I am about 4 months into a new machine build:
* MSI Z87 G45 GAMING motherboard
* i7-4770K Haswell 3.5 GHz & aftermarket heatpipe cooler
* 4 x 4Gb G.Skill SNIPER DDR3-2133 PC3-1700 (F3-17000CL11D-8GBSR)
* GeForce GTX 650 Ti w/ 2 Gb Video RAM
* Samsung 840 Pro 256 Gb SSD
* Thermaltake 700W Toughpower
* Win 7 Pro 64-bit SP1
The system seems to run fine at the default 1600 MHz RAM speed, however if I implement either of the X.M.P. profiles (which kick the memory speed up to the RAM's advertised speed of 2133 MHz), the system will occasionally (every 8 to 48 hours) freeze or BSOD. The BSOD stop codes are inconsistent in number (0x00, 0x41, 0x1E, 0xC4) and driver. When the system freezes, there is no consistent behavior. I am not doing any other overclocking besides using the X.M.P. profile in the memory.
RAM timing on the 2133 X.M.P. profile is: 11-11-11-30.
I have updated the BIOS to 1.5, including the ME, and updated all drivers in the system. All irrelevant hardware and drivers are disabled. Also I have done the following:
* MemTest+ 5.01 for over 30 hours, all 4 sticks in. No errors.
* Intel BurnTest on 'Very High', 10 passes, no errors
* Prime95 for over day with 90 C CPU temps constantly being hit. No errors.
* Unigine Valley Benchmark for 30 minutes; no issues
I increased V_DRAM from 1.60V (from the XMP profile) to 1.65V, and I also added +0.10V offset to increase the CPU I/O ANALOG , CPU I/O DIGITAL and SYSTEM AGENT voltages. Didn't seem to help. All other CPU voltages are default from [auto].
I rolled the memory speed back to the default 1600 MHz, and the system seems stable as a rock.
I don't really need to have the memory run at 2133 MHz, but it irks me that the system is not stable with the rated components, and I'm befuddled why the stress tests seem to pass just fine, then the system will randomly hang with arguably a far less demanding load than the stress tests.
Note that I have not yet:
* reset the CMOS when changing to X.M.P. Perhaps I should?
* reseated the graphics card or CPU. The latter will require R/R of the thermal grease, which I will do if needed, but it's a pain. Since the system is stable at 1600 MHz, I assumed that all basic systems are working as they should.
* Tried to work my way up in memory speed step by stem from 1600 to 2133 to see where things fall apart.
* Tested the video memory
I suspect main system memory, despite the clean bill of health from MemTest, and based on many of the comments to others with similar problems from the veterans on this board. I don't want to push the CPU voltages too much above the default/auto values, for fear of damage and reduced lifetime.
Also, the power supply is a nice unit from an older high-end gaming rig. It is rated at 700W. The PS does probably have over 30,000 hours on it (24/7 use for 3-4 years), however. Strange that it would work at 1600 MHz fine, and with only slightly more power load at 2133. I suppose stranger things have happened.
I've read the suggestions to run only 2 sticks, rather than 4, but I can't justify dropping $140 on new memory (I don't really need the extra speed benefit, it's more curiosity and just not knowing at this point).
Anyway, perhaps more seasoned souls than I can share their thoughts. The system is perfectly usable at 1600, but I'd really like to know where the lockups are stemming from. Troubleshooting is maddening because of the inconsistency in the long times before failure and lack of repeatability to reproduce the issue.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Thank you both for the prompt replies. I'm learning a lot.
Turns out I also found this from G.SKILL in going over reviews of the memory modules I have. Another user had a similar configuration as mine and was having similar problems. G.SKILL replied:

We are sorry to hear you were unable to get two kits working in the same system. It is not guaranteed two kits can operate at the rated specifications since they were not pre-matched, tested, and guaranteed at factory. With multi-channel motherboards, perfectly matching memory is necessary to achieve high frequency. This is why we must offer high capacity 32GB, 64GB kits, otherwise we can just sell one module at a time and have you purchase as many as you need. Unfortunately, memory does not work that way. If you purchase a 16GB kit rated at DDR3-2133, you should have absolutely no issues. For any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us directly for assistance.
Thank you
GSKILL SUPPORT
Not knowing any better, I simply purchased two "kits" of 2x4 GB each and installed them. Perhaps worse, if the modules were matched, I may well have mixed them up so the matched modules don't even sit in the same channels 1/3 or 2/4. G.SKILL seems to have a pretty responsive board, so I'll ask them what they suggest.
Also in the end, I really just want a stable machine. This is a basically an office/engineering machine. My initial thinking was that if the system was unstable at 2133 then there is something wrong with it that needs to be fixed. It sounds instead like getting to 2133 is not guaranteed, and is much more of an art than simply throwing the modules in and powering up the system.
I'm perfectly happy at 1600 knowing the system is stable. Indeed realizing now that 2133 requires overclocking, I may well have backed off to 1600 even if everything had worked just fine at 2300, just to trade extra stability for the (small) performance improvement that I would likely never notice anyway.
I'll put together a post for the G.SKILL forums, and if I get anything useful I'll post what I learn here for completeness.
Thanks again for the fast and informative replies. It's much appreciated.
Best,

Aha! There it is! The good old 124! That is insufficient CPU V.

MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming EIST is not working

Hi all, my EIST is not working properly, the CPU clock run between 3.7-3.9 all the time (VID 1.153 - 1.219)
Here is my setup:
Motherboard and CPU: MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming + 4770K
OS: Clean installed Win 7 SP1 with most updated driver from MSI site.
Bios version: 1.2 (All default settings)
Actually the EIST works before without installing driver ME and chipset driver from MSI site, any advices?
thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome,
to DougQuaid tip.
Allso if you have OC your system, you need to set Ratio mode to Dynamic and voltage mode to Adaptive.
Like in this picture of my BIOS settings. I marked those with yellow.
Warning: After that you shouldent stress test your CPU anymore with Prime95, Occt, or so on programs. Because they could get the MB give too much power to CPU
I just tested those (ME and Chipset) files from MSI and still get my clock and voltage down normaly.
There seams to be new official relice of BIOS 1.3v there too, so you could try that. if yours cot some bug in it.
Also make sure on task manager that your pc isnt doing anything under. Like live Spybot/virus/... -Scans.
I hope these help Cheers, Mummy

So on the Windows 10 upgrade page there are several laptops listed there without any new drivers, the ge62 included. Does this mean the current windows 8.1 drivers are fine for Windows 10?
I currently have the ge62 2QE and I want to upgrade to Windows ...
