MSI Z87 G45 and Intel 4670k Turbo Boost Option Missing?

In my BIOS (V1.6):
I go into OC>CPU Features and Turbo Boost is not there, I have seen the bottom setting about using Intel's Turbo Boost, to UNDERCLOCK when needed, but I see no Feature to activate Turbo Boost or for some reason has this feature been taken out of V1.6?
Also note that I accidentally reset my XMP RAM profile and is now back to 2400MHz.

Not quite sure but this should be in just OC. Also you don't have to enable turbo boost but manually increase frequency using + and -, leaving all other settings at auto.
You will find there things like Frequency mode (not quite sure how it's worded) so you can either set it to be e.g. 3.4ghz all the time (idle too) or adaptive so when idling, it goes down to 1.5ghz (around..). Look carefully.

MSI Z87-G45 and BSoD all time

Hi,
my configuration:
MSI Z87-G45,
i5 4670k
2x8 GB ddr3 Patriot Viper 3 1600MHz CL9
Radeon HD 6870
PSU Corsair 550W
HDD SATA WD 500GB
SSD Corsair Force 3 128 GB
Windows 7 64bit
...and i have BSOD all time... At first I thought that the problem is SSD, but yesterday unplugget him and put normal HDD. And still got bluescreens. I updated BIOS to version 1.4, restored default settings and I tried to manually set the memory and enable/disable XMP profile. Memtest86 passed without problems. I changed SATA ports and dunno what more to do. Help please.

no BSOD so far, so this mean that first ram piece is bad?
Have that RAM kit exchanged. Perhaps even consider a Corsair Vengeance or Vengeance Pro. http://www.corsair.com/us/memory-by-product-family/vengeance-pro-series-memory/vengeance-pro-series-16gb-2-x-8gb-ddr3-dram-1600mhz-c9-memory-kit-cmy16gx3m2a1600c9.html

IRQL_NOT_LES_OR_EQUAL 0x0000000A
This Stop error message usually occurs during installation when there was an attempt in kernel mode to touch pageable memory at too high a process internal request level (IRQL).
Ouch, I just rechecked your screenshot. That XMP profile calls for a CR of 3T. Your setting is 1T. That is one probable cause as per the error explanation above.
I would consider an alternative kit as 3T essentially points to a lesser quality memory chip on those modules. You can of course attempt to manually set your CR to 2T or 3T and see if it works for you.

Overclocking Help .... MSI Z87 G45 with i5 4670k

Hi guys first of all i want to say MSI ROCKS!!!!!....
Purchased my first ever MSI motherboard and very satisfied from it ..... the looks are killer and now i want to see if its killer in OC as well ....
My specs are as follows:
MSI Z87 G45 (bios version 1.7)
Core i5 4670k
GSKILL Rip Jaws 8gb (4x2) 2133 mhz (but running at 1600)
Sapphire R9 290 TRI-X OC 4GB
Corsair GS800 800 watts psu....
Now my goal is to get safest OC around 4.2 - 4.4 ghz with minimal voltage and fully stable ..... its my first time with K series processor and there are just so many settings in the BIOS .... I know how to change the multiplier and CPU voltage and i tried doing 4.4 ghz @ 1.15 but it wasn't stable in AIDA64 stress test .... so help me oh the mighty overclockers :D .... Screenshots of bios settings would be highly appreciated ....

Using Cooler Master Hyper 212+ with it with dual fans .... I did some overclocking on my own today (saw some OC screeshots of bios of Z87 G45 by some people) ...... 4.3 GHZ @ 1.15 voltage (but CPU-Z and AIDA 64 both showing 1.224) ...... Did 2 hours testing of Aida-64 stability and maximum temp i reached was 69c on one core and 65c TJ .... I couldn't boot into windows on the same settings @ 4.4 ghz ..... here are the screenshots of my OC profile .....
still my aim is to get maximum safest OC with lowest possible voltage ...

Problem with MSI z87-g45 and gigabyte GTX 770

Hello, I just built my new computer useing a Z87-G45 gaming motherboard and a Gigabyte GTX 770 graphic card, reason Im making this post is because I cant get a any video on the monitor useing the Graphic card, only way to get the monitor working is to use the Integraded graphic, I've tried all ports on the Graphic card same problem, i've switched monitor no succes.
Weird thing is, Inside BIOS when Im looking on the overview of the board it tells me that I dont have anything connected in the PCI-E slots, I've tried to switch PCI-E slots and same issue appears.
How do I fix this? or cant my graphic card be DOA? since my old one works in the PCI-E slots as normally

Update the bios to the most recent found here: >>BIOSes<<
Extract the bios file and place it on a fat 32 formatted usb stick and use M-flash w/ ME.
Then re-test.

Is MSI Z87-G45 compatible with Be Quiet Dark Rock 3 and TridentX ?

Hello,
I have a MSI Z87-G45 and 2 DDR3 TridentX (from 40 mm tall without heatspreader to 53mm with it) in dual channel mode.
I'd like to mount a Be Quiet Dark Rock 3 with rear air extraction, front heatsink fan, and my DDR3 in dual channel mode (slot 2 and 4). Is it compatible or will I encounter clearance issue with DDR3 ?
Thanks

I bought the Dark Rock 3 from Be Quiet and I confirm that it is perfectly compatible with both TridentX and MSI Z87-G45 but we have to sacrifice the DDR's first slot (2, 3 and 4 still available).

MSI Z87-G45 doesn't boot, doesn't beep

Hi guys,
I just received my new MSI Z87-G45 and put it in my pc with my Intel Core i5-4670K
When I first tried to boot, nothing happened, except the fans and the hard disk. It doesn't beep and I see no screen. I switched the RAM, removed the graphics card, removed the hd, nothing worked.
Just the fans are going on, but nothing else happens.
I had a look at the cpu socket and wasn't sure if it is how it is supposed to look like (my first intel board) so I attached a picture. The pins look kind of weird, not sure about them:
Any ideas what I could try?

Thanks for your replies.
I did a CMOS several times (everytime after removing a component) - didn't change anything.
I just wasn't sure if it's generally normal, that the pins are not straight upwards like on amd cpus. But I already saw on some other pictures that that seems to be normal. The pins are all equally and none of them is at another height level. So that doesn't seem to ba a problem.
Board: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
Bios: Stock (not sure which one that is)
VGA: HIS AMD Radeon R9 280X IceQ X² Turbo Boost Clock 3GB GDDR5
PSU: Enermax Revolution X't ERX530AWT
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K Box, LGA1150
MEM: Corsair XMS3 CMX8GX3M2A1333C9 (also checked with Kingston KVR1333D3N9/2G
HDD: none
OC: -
OS: none (old was win7, but I don't even get to the BIOS)
I also noticed that the case fan doesn't seem to get power. It doesn't move.
I have a speaker installed to the motherboard. My old board always beeped.
Thanks again for your help!

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
Here are the specs
Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor
MSI Z87-G45 GAMING Intel Z87 (Socket 1150)
16GB Mushkin Enhanced Silverline #997018 (2x8GB) 1333 (PC3-10666) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM CAS 9-9-9-24 1.5V

My pc freezing after i recieve a message at my phone..
Im sure about this because i ask my friend sent me a message to my phone and my pc freezing again...
Quote from: flobelix
And your phone is connected to the pc?

No..my phone on the pc table...
It looks like a PSU/grounding issue.
You might need to rebuild the entire PC.
Remove everything from the case and start with a minimal config (barebone).

Msi z87 g45 power cycling

I recently built a new pc in November and haven't had a problem with it until now. It doesn't post doesn't beep and won't boot as well. No display and it does this very thing with nothing plugged in at all (obviously the psu is plugged in).
My specs:
Msi z87 g45 gaming
I5-4670k (not over clocked yet)
Gtx 660
Corsair vengeance 2x4 gb ram
60 gb Kingston SSD
Evga supernova nex750b psu
The problem started yesterday when I had removed all of my components to route my psu cables.
After getting everything installed correctly I plugged it in and hit the power button and it came on for a second and turned back off I thought I had forgotten to plug the 8 pin cpu power in until it turned on a second later and immediately turn off. I quickly killed the power and had a look inside but nothing appeared to be wrong.
Now every time I turn it on it sits there turning on and off until I unplug it.
I've tried switching the ram the psu and reseating the cpu several times and nothing works.
I did manage to get it to stay on by shorting a jumper labeled "J1" but there's no display or anything other then the fans and LEDs being on.
Anyone know what could cause this? Everything is brand new and has only been running for a month and was running two days ago.

I have tried clearing CMOS by the button the battery and the jumper.
The only bios setting that I changed was to set my ram to run at 1600mhz which is what it's rated for (it was running at 1333 on the auto setting)
The thing that puzzles me is that J1 jumper that is right next to dim 1.
If I hold a screwdriver to it during the power cycling thing it stays on as long as it's being shorted but I don't get a display or anything everything is on and spinning but it doesn't boot. As soon as I take it off it reverts back to the cycle of on and off.
I've searched google for any possible incompatibilities or fixes but I couldn't find any.
Also something I forgot, I accidentally bent one of my usb 3.0 pins to the point where it touched another pin. Could this have caused my problem? If so rma wouldn't work cause I bent a pin. I'm totally fine with buying a new board but I'm not sure if it's the board or some other component.

MSI Z87-G45 Latest beta bios problem?

So i have updated to the latest beta bios but the core jumps to 5600mhz from 4500mhz.
Everything is set like it's alway's set.(4500 core @ 1.285v 4200 uncore/ring @ 1.19v, memory on xmp profile and the inputvoltage is 1.880v)
This only happens when using firefox from what i've seen, but i haven't done testing yet so it could happen with more programs.
Firefox becomes laggy when this happens and doesn't want to load anything unless you wait 25 seconds and then it still not load's the site complete.
IE 11 doesn't do this by the way.
My setup:
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
Intel I7 4770K
G.Skill Ripjaws X 16gb
Sapphire R9 290
Cooler Master Silent Pro 1000W
Edit: The clock's are just showing up that high in task manager, in XTU they stay @ 4.5.
But i still don't know why firefox is acting up with this bios.

Close this topic as i have found the problem.
It was a usb 2.0 stick in usb 3.0 port that was saving the cache for firefox.
But the stick was working very slowly in that port hence the slowdown.
Sorry for the thread.

Z87-G45 and 7970 problem

Sunday, I got a brand new MSI Z87-G45 and 4770k as a nice upgrade. Ive finally got the things working this evening, and the integrated graphics are running fine. However, when I attempt to utilize my 7970, no video output is available. The card is seated, the card works (last tested 2 hours ago), the card is powered, the fans are spinning up, yet still no video output is provided. Ive attempted to remedy the problem with another graphics card as well, and then with the two in crossfire, but still I have no out put. Help me msi forum , you're my only hope.

Hi and
Plz insert full spec list in next post like Svet asked.

Take the pc a part and build it without case and try again.
I hope this helps! Cheers Mummy
Edit: I dont member if that board come with power button, but if not you can use jumper(or other tool) betwean those power button pins (be careful to not jump wrong pins!) a secend to start it up.

Did you use same PSU?
If it dosent work without case, then take your system bear minimum (MB, CPU, PSU and that GPU. Mayby memory too, but you can test it. Should you need it with that on board vga and no memory in) and try again.
If that dosent help, i would ask RMA from shop that sell you that board or straigth from MSI.

MSI Z87-G45,i5 4670k can't get past 3.8ghz

I am pretty new to overclocking, I've been watching and reading tutorial but some how on the "adjust cpu ration" it stop at 3800. Even if I hit the positive key on the keyboard or manually type in number like 4000 it changed back to 3800. I wonder did I miss something? Thank you for your time guys.
Here's my spec:
MoBo: MB MSI|Z87-G45 GAMING Z87 1150 RT
Cooler: CORSAIR HYDRO SERIES H60 120MM LIQUID COOLING
CPU: INTEL|CORE I5 4670 3.4G 6M R
Power Supply: IN-WIN COMMANDER II 80 PLUS 1200W POWER SUPPLY
HD: 60 GB OCZ AGILITY 3 SATA III SSD
RAM: 4x KINGSTON HYPER-X 4 GB DDR3/ 1600 MHZ
VGA SLi: 2x EVGA|02G-P4-2765-KR GTX 760 2G
here's additional photo

Non 'K' CPU is limited to whatever max Turbo Boost frequency is for any particular non 'K' CPU being used. For yours it is 3.8.
I see your topic title says 4670K but your BIOS shows it as 4670

MSI Z87-G45 Audio Boost color LED

On my MSI Z87-G45 I was wondering if anyone knew how to turn off the LED behind the plate of the Audio Boost logo. I disabled the sound card in the BIOS but seen no option on disabling that LED. I guess it is only a minor issue but the pink/purple light is really messing up my Red and Black theme. If there is an option to make it glow red that would be perfect but it kinda looks like the plate is just turning the white LEDs behind it pink.
Also this may be a question for another thread but I think I'm safe in assuming that my X-Fi Titanium PCI-X would be better audio then the onboard, correct?

Yes, that's why I have one on my Z77.

MSI Z87-G45 flashed bios 19 now Intel Management Engine doesnt work

I used the forum tool to flash the latest bios 1,19 for my Z87-g45 and after booting back into windows and reinstalling intel ME I have a yellow exclamation mark over the Intel ME Interface in device manager.
It says the device cant start and STATUS_DEVICE_POWER_FAILURE
I tried installing the MS hotfix that comes with the latest Intel ME software on the MSI website but it doesnt install and says it isn't suitable for my computer when I run it. I tried the 64bit first then the 32bit.

I fixed this by installing the older 1.18 using the built in mflash instead of the forum tool.
I don't know if it was the 1.19 version or the forum tool that stopped intel management engine working but selecting bios and intel me flash from the built in mflash worked.
I did worry when my computer shut down and restarted at 49% complete but upon starting again it showed a blank screen with flashing percentage for intel me in the middle starting around 50%.
