MSI Z97 Gaming 7 + Sys Temperature FAN Target

It's funny thing i discovered:
In "Hardware Monitor Tab" theres a radio button named "Sys-Temp" and when you click it... all Fans suddenly target on SYS-Temp.... but only until you leave that tab with ESC-key.
It is impossible to save it.
It is impossible to set it up individually for each fan.
When you click on help it says: "You can set CPU or SYS target temperature and adjust fan duty cycle".
The German Website says:
Quote
Total Fan Control: Individuelle Einstellung aller Lüfter
Englisch: Individual setup of all fans!
So i reflect to register.msi.com. They told me it is not the specification of the board and that they will forward my question about the "misleading" help-entry inside the bios to the relative departement? What the frakk!!!
This was advertised!
Can anyone help to activate this function?

Presume he is talking about the 'System' button on the left side?  The colored blocks in certain fan control setting configurations are also adjustable.
The specific issue of not being able to set his desired settings and save them, MSI Technical has been contacted and informed of it. I had no such problem setting up the CPU fan control or System fan control and saving it on the test board I had for awhile.

  • MSI Z97 Gaming 7 PWM Fan setting question

    Hello, right now I'm using Z87 motherboard from others vendor (as***k), and now I want to change my motherboard to MSI Z97 Gaming 7. But there's something that I want to ask first. When I'm using still using Z77 motherboard which is MSI Z77A-G45, I can set the PWM fan to change it speed automatically by change the CPU fan to auto in the UEFI. But in the Z87 I currently use I have to customize it in the UEFI, so that my PWM CPU fan change its speed as the CPU temperature changes, it can't be set to auto and I don't like it at all. Now that I want to change my motherboard to MSI Z97 Gaming 7, I'm searching the review first. And I'm seeing that it have similar fan setting with the Z87 motherboard that I currently use 
    I want to ask, is it possible that I can set the CPU fan setting to auto just like the Z77A-G45 I used to have?

    What you are seeing is mulitple breakpoints of temperature, as you do on your AsRock.
    I own a Z87GD65, and in mine i only have 1 true breakpoints, which is the temperature in which you want the fans to speed up, according to the temperature of the cpu.  I als did a build for a friend on a Z77GD43 and it was similar just didnt had the graph, as it has on the Z87GD65 nor the new one that you posted on the Z97 Gaming7, but what i see is more customization on the new motherboard, with 4 different breaking points, i see the same restrictions on the PWM %, increments of 12.5% as it is on my GD65, weather its worth it, personally i dont care, one is good enough for me, i usually just spin down my fans to the lowest i can, and set the breakpoints for the temperature i want my fans to spin up, if the temperature is reach they will increase gradually, defined by the max PWM % and max temperature, this two variables (that you can change) will make the graph with more or less inclination.  In the new Z97 Gaming 7, seems the same just multiple breakpoints, meaning you can have different inclinations into how the fans react depending on the temperature, weather its worth it or not.... depends on the level of customization you want to the fan control, personally im fine with a single, but i can see people that could like having depending on their needs, personally what i would have loved though, is to give me 10% increments instead of 12.5%, or 5% would been better, but 12.5% just seems odd number imo.
    Remember, MSI only has 2 true PWM fan headers, CPU_FAN1 and CPU_FAN2, even though all are 4pin physically the SYS_FAN are not true pwm fan headers, they are voltage controlled and have much higher restrictions than the real PWM fan headers.  And remember that if you plug 3pin fans on PWM fan headers they will spin at 12V that its the voltage that its handled by PWM fans, so be careful what fan you plug into where to have control on them.
    Hmn, so since Z87 MSI use that breakpoint system to control PWM fan, just like my asrock Z87. So there's no auto setting on your Z87GD65?

  • Can I control 3-pin fan with MSI Z97 gaming 5?

    Hello, I want to know if I can control 3-pin fan plug into 4-pin header with MSI z97 gaming 5 mobo
    Thanks
    PS: Sorry my poor english

    I own an MSI Z87-GD65, im assuming your Z97gaming5 is similar, mine can control 4pin PWM fans on the CPU_FAN1 and CPU_FAN2 headers, and can control 3pin fans on SYS_FAN 1,2,3, all of this on bios fan control (i dont like nor use the Control center).  The limitations of my bios is that on 4pin fans on CPU_FAN1 i can go to 12.5% pwm (as long as the fan can reach this low), while on the 3pin con SYS_FAN i can only drop them down to 50% (thats if you fan can start at that voltage, had one that needed 60%), the fan can be ran at a steady % = rpms or can be dynamically ramp up with the CPU temp, thats also selected on the bios.
    Here is a run that i did last weekend on a Silverstone AP182 connected on SYS_FAN3 on pure bios, you can see there the different % and rpms, and in the bottom you can see prime95 run where it did ramp the fans with the cpu temp.

  • DIMM 1/2 stopped working on MSI Z97 Gaming 5, help!

    Hello again!
    Today I was trying out a different cooler for my i7 4790K, I mounted it and everything worked fine, but results were bad, so I decided to mount previous cooler again...
    And here were the problem starts. After I mounted everything back (exactly following guide like before, thermal paste etc all done) my PC would not start the system nor BIOS.
    I wondered what could cause it, so just to check a possibility, I unplugged one RAM module from DIMM 2 (they used to work in dual-channel at 2/4 DIMMs) and it suddenly started BIOS and system up normally.
    Following this tip, I unmounted cooler's fan, because it covers DIMM 1 to check if it would work, and doesn't matter what memory I plug in DIMM 1 or 2, it won't work  Doesn't work with any combination, so I can't actually use dual-channel right now, as only DIMM 3 and 4 work at the moment (both or alone). Any module plugged in 1/2 slots doesn't work.
    All I see is that temperature monitor on my MSI Z97 Gaming 5 shows 10-55, 10-55 all the time, jumpy temps, everything works, but nothing loads. Just black screen, nothing. I work with 3/4 slots in single channel right now.
    What the hell could happen? Please help me with this! 
    Edit: Is that possible I could move a CPU from a proper pin so it doesn't connect properly with DIMM 1 and 2? My cooler moved a bit before I mounted it properly. That's only thing that comes to my mind right now.

  • Crash by gaming with MSI z97 Gaming 9 AC/ MSI 980GTX

    Dear MSI Form
    The last couple of weeks I have a very bad crash,
    This is my system:
    Windows 8.1 64
    Mother board: MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC
    GPU: MSI GTX 980
    CPU: Intel core i7 4790K 4 GHz
    CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Nepton 240M

    Power supply: Be quiet! Power Zone 650W
    Case: Cooler Master CM Storm Trooper Window
    Fans: 9X Be quiet! Shadow wings + Fan controller
    I use my pc mostly for gaming,
    I bought en build my pc on September 2015 but now and then I get a very bad crash, the crash shuts down my pc (no blue screen / no Error) just a black screen with a pc that won’t respond on anything. The lights are on at my motherboard cpu cooler and GPU, but no respond. To turn my pc on again I have to shut down the main power switch. After 10 seconds I can start up my pc again.
    I get the following windows event: id 41 kernel power
    Scenario:
    This began when I played Dragon age 3 in December, I got the crash twice in like 100 hours. (not a big deal) than I got the same crash once when I played GTA V with 60 hours more or less. But now when I playing the Witcher 3 wild hunt I get it every 5 minutes.
    What did I try to fix it but won’t work:
    - Memtest run x10 no error
    - Drivers up to date
    - The temps under full load are great CPU they won’t go over 51 degrease / GPU 68 degrees / the rest won’t go over 45 degrees.
    - I got no virus.
    - Everything is connected just fine.
    I hope you guys can help me out.
    Kind regards,
    Tijs Dragtsma from the Netherlands

    May be your PSU being too weak or going bad (I doubt though). Although you have 9 fans.. maybe try disconnecting case fans and leave only CPU cooler ones to work?

  • Msi z97 gaming motherboard displays debug led D0 (00) .

    Hello all.
    I urgently need some advice.
     I recently bought a msi z97 gaming 5 motherboard and I had it installed into my rig.  Everything was working fine. I decided to do some cable management in my case today and afterwards wanted to switch my pc on to find it dead. I switched off the power and made sure that I discharged all electrostatic power.
    The psu delivers power to the board as all the case fans spin, the light trail lights up an my fan controller works.
    My peripherals (key board,  mouse) don't   light, as well as my monitor. There is ia also no boot beeps.
    The debug led displays a code 00 which is  not in the manual. I already tried removing the cmos batery  and also cleared the cmos with the cmos jumper en still nothing.
    I even removed both my ram modules and still no boot beeps.
    If there is someone out there please help... 

    i got the same issue by chance few days ago 00 error but with dual bios chip board.
    and able to fix it,
    i narrow it down that somehow the bios chip selection wasn't switched ..
    even after power off, and flip the switch i meet 00 error and no LED on bios chip has light
    switching to the secondary bios chip worked fine,
    then when i flip the bios chip while the system was booted, switching was successfully,
    and at next power off and power up was booting with the other bios chip fine and no longer 00 error
    however for your board, i see board has 1 bios chip only
    im not sure if would have bios chip led indicator or not..
    checking high res image of your board at: https://media.msi.com/main.php?g2_itemId=110010&g2_imageViewsIndex=1
    think i can see the led indicator side by side to JBAT1
    so your board probably also should have bios chip led indicator
    and based on your second photo that you provided: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=253991.0;attach=22345;image
    i don't see this LED to light... it should be near to 00 debug code
    so probably bios chip doesn't kick in for some reason...
    and i don't know how this can be fixed since your board don't have dual bios chips..
    looks like something become damaged when you tried to re-arrange your cables..
    else don't have idea what else you can try, except to rma the board

  • HELP why wont my msi z97 gaming 9 mother board find my msi N770 graphics card ?

    have built a new gaming PC from scratch based around the MSI Z97 gaming 9 motherboard and the MSI NVIDIA GTX 770 graphics card i have installed all the drivers for the mother board and everything seems to be ok i have then used live update to update all the drivers and bios.
    i then installed the graphics card and it powers up and the fans start but my pc isn't recognising the fact that is exists helps please

    Recheck your WiFi Bluetooth expansion module connection on the board.
    Recheck your MB mounting in the case, i.e. errant standoffs. Perhaps test the board outside the case on a non conductive surface to ensure no potential short exists. Then retest with the WiFi plugged in.

  • Msi z97 gaming 5 bios update help

    Hello I recently purchased the msi z97 gaming 5 motherboard. It was working fine it came with bios version 1.0 and I wanted to update it. I downloaded the latest 1.5 bios from msi website copied to usb flash drive and flashed it using mflash. Computer powers on but black screen wont do nothing. I cleared cmos and battery and still nothing so I am pretty sure its bricked. I am going to store to exchange it for another one but I want to be able to safely update the bios without bricking again. I usually dont update bios unless needed but i need at least 1.2 bios to fully support the devils canyon cpu. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I read about the usb flashing tool in forum but also read that bios+me need to be flashed and I don't know if that program is up to date and will flash both files? I really appreciate it if someone helped thanks in advance.

    Also does anyone know if it is dangerous to update the bios with a 4690k devils canyon cpu since it is not officially supported until 1.2? Is that why my first bios flash was bricked? I would hate to go and borrow another cpu just to update the bios but if I have to I will. Sorry for all the questions but I need to get my bios updated and I will not update it until I am sure of all these things. Thanks to anyone who answers these questions.

  • MSI GTX980 Gaming sometimes not recognized by MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC

    I have been experiencing a very odd problem with my new hardware.
    Hardware
    Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC
    CPU: Intel Core i7-4790
    CPU-cooler: Scythe Mugen 4
    RAM: G.Skill RipjawsZ F3-17000CL9Q-16GBZH
    Videocard: MSI GeForce GTX 980 4GB GAMING 4G
    PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold
    SSD: Crucial M550 2,5" 1TB
    Monitor#1: LG 34UM95-P
    Monitor #2: Eizo Foris FG2421
    OS: Windows 7 Professional
    Issue description
    The thing is that with 2 monitors connected the videocard is not recognized on a cold boot, but boots perfectly most of the time after a restart. In some cases a restart doesn't do the trick. I have even seen a couple of times that the monitor shows that windows starts and then the monitor loses the signal from the videocard before I can see the desktop (rare). With just 1 monitor attached the videocard is recognized. Als the IGP works fine, it's just the videocard that doesn't seem to be recognized when 2 monitors are connected (all combinations of DP, HDMI and DVI). When the computer has booted after one or more restarts and the videocard is recognized the computer works flawlessly, no problems whatever I do with it (desktop work, stressing hardware, playing games, etc.). Not a single sign of instability.
    It's just the cold boot and sometimes the soft boot or restart that causes the videocard to not being recognized with 2 monitors connected.
    What makes it really weird to me is that when the computer goes into sleep mode I can wake it up normally within say 10 minutes. But if I wait for let's say an hour the videocard is not transmitting a signal through the videocard.
    When IGP is enabled the computer boots and windows loads normally (I hear the sound of the Windows login), although the monitors stay black when connected to the videocard. Then switching the connectors from the videocard to the motherboard shows me a normal Windows login screen, but the videocard is not visible in the device list. When the IGP is disabled to bootup sequence just hangs until a restart works and the computer boots normally with the videocard getting recognized and working properly.
    Click sounds
    I noticed the motherboard makes 4 click sounds when booting, like relays flipping. I think it has to to with distributing power to al the components, since it looks like components respond to the click by turning led lights on. But I have to say I've never come across a motherboard before that makes click sounds. Is this normal?
    Tried fixes
    - Replaced the RAM with 100% working RAM from my other computer (Corsair Vengeance LP CML8GX3M2A1600C9) -> problem persists
    - Disabed XMP -> problem persists
    - Replaced the PSU with another one (Cooler Master V550 Semi-Modular) -> problem persists
    - Reinstalled the videocard physically -> problem persists
    - Tried several combinations of connecting the 2 monitors to the videocard (all DP ports, HDMI and DVI) -> problem persists
    - Replaced the videocard with a MSI GTX970 Gaming (connected with 1xDP and 1xHDMI) -> problem persists
    Conclusions so far
    The cause can be found in the videocard or motherboard (probably BIOS issue).
    Who can shed some light on this issue?

    Quote from: JLio01 on 14-November-14, 17:02:39
    Try all PCIE slots no luck? Does the black screen always happen on one certain monitor or both?
    I tried both the first and the second PCIe slot. No difference except for the fact that in the second slot the card only works at x8 bandwidth.

    BTW - Did anybody try to remove the wifi module from the board and then test?
    I didn't install the wifi module in the first place.
    UPDATE
    I returned the motherboard to the webshop I bought it from and sent my cpu, ram, psu and videocard (GTX980) with it so they could test it. They found out that the videocard is the problem. So now I have to send the videocard to the webshop it bought that from. However, I am suspecting that it's just a VBIOS problem and not some fault in the hardware itself. On the other hand, it would be very strange that MSI would release a videocard that cannot work with one of their own top motherboards, wouldn't it?

    1.) Vbios versions vary with-in models. This is due to different variations and improvements made in time. In order for us to be able to get you the right VBIOS. We need your serial number. The serial number can be found on a sticker on the bottom of your card or on the box in which it came.

    Quote from: GOP / UEFI Vbios requests - Read Here First on 29-March-13, 22:47:26
    3.) If we need to check if thier is a more recent version. We can check your Vbios in one of two ways.
         A.) Upload a copy of your current vbios somewhere and give us a link. You can save a copy of your vbios using >>GPU-Z<<.
         B.) You can also just use NVFLASH >>Download NVFLASH for windows<<
    Syntax:
    nvflash /v >rep.txt [ENTER]
    This will copy all of the information we need into a txt file you will fine in the folder in which you placed nvflash.

    Possibly yes. But there is no real performance improvement and difference between 1333MHz (lowest DDR3 sold) and 2666MHz. 1FPS in some games, so it's not really worth $100 more, as that's common price difference between 2x8GB 1600MHz and 2x8GB 2133MHz. If you need MORE amount of memory, then yes it makes sense. But if you only want to have it "quicker" then there's no point.
    MSI simply tests certain amount of kits on certain motherboard and that's it. If it works, they say it's compatible, if it doesn't, then I think they also mention that. If they don't test something, then it's not mentioned at all.
    I tried to run my ram at 2133MHz. with memory try it. and I made it, but I do not change the settings laiinya.
    is there any other suggestions?
    =========================
    I am not looking for a FPS, but I seek the comfort of playing.

    Quote from: AranelSurion on 03-July-14, 22:02:56
    Speancer, what was the BIOS version yours shipped with?
    I got a GAMING 5, according to MSI Support it's V1.0, since I don't have a spare LGA1150 chip I'm really curious if 4790K is going to work as it is. My build is from entirely new parts, so if somehow it fails to POST, I can't know for sure if it's because of the outdated BIOS or something else, It would be great to know if it's actually going to work or not on 1.0 .
    Anybody tried 4790K with 1.0 BIOS? Does it work?
    It was 1.0  Like I said, it works perfectly ouf of the box on MSI Z97 Gaming 5 with i7 4790K CPU. After installing system and most of my softwares like it was before format, I noticed that I could not enter BIOS, but system was working normally. Then I flashed BIOS from 1.0 to 1.3 in Windows and it worked again and has been working ever since.
    Good luck with your new rig
