[MSI Z97 Xpower AC] Confusion about about BIOS updating...

So I am a newb who has just finished his first build, using the "MSI Z97 Xpower AC" motherboard (purchased last month).
The first thing I want to do is update the BIOS.
But I am a little confused about how I should proceed.
In the manual, it describes the "M-Flash" method for updating BIOS.
But as I was reading reviews of this motherboard, there was some talk about the manual being "out-dated" in regards to BIOS update instructions. Some people suggested using some "forum method" for updating. I also see this topic which provides an alternative method for updating the BIOS:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=172772.0
So how do you think I should proceed with updating the BIOS?
Really, what is the safest method?

Forum tool is safer, M-Flash is easier. (my pov..)
I agree with that. Although for this motherboard (any with Dual BIOS), it should not matter whether it's safer or not, as you can always restore bricked BIOS by using secondary one
As you are using very first version of BIOS (v1.0) you can either use >>This One<< for MFlash which is latest official available v1.7 from MSI's product website OR for latest official/BETA BIOS to be used with Forum flash tool, you have to ask Svet to prepare a file for you (simply ask for it on current topic)
But the real question is: do you have any issues with your system that BIOS will fix it?? Because if your reason to flash is "I want latest", then forgive me, but that's the worst "reason" you might ever have.

  • [MSI Z97 Xpower AC] Confusion about odd/even Sata port number sides

    So newb here, performing his first computer build.
    Problem is that I don't see any numbers on my motherboard's sata ports.
    My manual is a little confusing, as the diagram and video shows the odd/even numbers on different sides.
    Due to the large number of drives & cable management concerns...I'd like to know the exact SATA port numbers before connecting & running computer.
    Can anyone tell me what side the odd/even Sata ports are located on?
    Are the odd numbers located on the motherboard side (while even are on case side)?
    Or, are the even numbers located on the motherboard side (while odd are on case side)?

    Thanks HenryW! 

  • [MSI Z97 Xpower AC] Question about "optimum performance" for single card...

    This is my first PC build. And I need some clarification about something I read in my manual for the "MSI Z97 Xpower AC" motherboard.
    In my manual, it says:
    Quote
    For a single PCIe x16 expansion card installation with optimum performance, using the PCI_E2 slot is recommended.
    I would just like clarification...does this refer to all types of PCIe cards? Or just graphics cards?
    For example, suppose I install my graphics card into the "PCI_E2 slot" to take advantage of "optimum performance".
    Would the "optimum performance" go away if I installed another (non graphics card) device into another PCIe port?

    Quote from: Chike on 27-March-15, 09:23:57
    Although the table refer to CrossFire/SLI configuration you should still follow those rules when installing any kind of cards.
    e.g. if you use more than one card you should not use slot PCIE_E2 at all.
    Yes! This is what I was getting at...but I forgot to quote the following part (that confused me):
    Quote
    The table below shows the correlation between the PCIe slots bandwidth and multiple graphics cards.
    It talked about "multiple graphic cards", so I wondered whether the rules still applied if the other PCIe device was something else.
    So, yes, I will take your suggestion to follow the rules...regardless of what type of device.
    And, yes, like Nichrome & yourself have stated, I will consider the speed of the device & prioritize graphics card.
    Thanks alot guys! 

  • Help a newb connect his power supply cables to the MSI Z97 XPower AC?

    My Background
    I am mostly a software kind of guy, and this is my first time building a computer. I saved lots of money, did lots of research, and picked my parts.
    So far, I've installed my CPU & Fan to the Motherboard, and mounted them to the case.
    Now it's time to install my Power Supply. Mounting it to the case is easy. The problem comes when I have to connect the cables. The manuals don't explain the purpose of these cables or provide "step-by-step" instructions.
    I've been searching for over an hour, but can't get a clear idea of what I'm supposed to do. So I'm hoping someone can help me here.
    Hardware
    Motherboard: MSI Z97 XPOWER AC
    Power Supply: Seasonic X-1250
    (EDIT: Forum does not let me link to the manuals, so for anyone who needs...please look online)
    Problem
    On page 29 of my motherboard manual, it shows 4 different power connection slots (JPWR1, JPWR2, JPWR3, JPWR4). Unfortunately, it doesn't explain what goes in them. 
    On page 59 & 61 of my Power Supply manual, there is listing of all the key cables.
    I think the "Mainboard 24/20 Pin" cable goes into the "JPWR1" slot.
    - So I am mostly confused about the other slots (JPWR2, JPWR3, JPWR4).
    - Also, it's confusing that there are two CPU cables called "CPU 8/4 Pin" & "CPU 8 Pin".
    Can anyone help me?

    Hi guys, I have a follow-up question about my Seasonic PSU "PCI-E cables".
    The way my PCI-E cables are designed is...
    There's one end which is a single cable with a 12 hole connector...that goes into the PCI-E port on my power supply.
    But then the other end splits out into two different cables, with each having a sort of 6/2 connector.
    So regarding the end that splits out into two different cables...
    Can each be used on different PCI-E devices?
    Or is it the case that because my PSU has 3 PCI-E ports (and 3 of the cables I described)...that only 3 PCI-E devices can be powered?
    all can be used however you plan to use them! all them connectors are tied to a single 104amp +12v Rail so they are getting power off a single Rail!
    as long as what you plug them into do not exceed the Rail's ratings your fine (would take quite a few Graphics cards to get above that) (basically if it works it works) (would take like 2 R9-295x2's or 4 R9-290X's to get to that point)

  • [MSI Z97 Xpower AC] What driver enables "Wi-Fi" from the module?

    I'm having a strange problem with the Wi-Fi module that comes with the "MSI Z97 Xpower AC" motherboard.
    Some background...
    The module itself seems to be physically installed correctly.
    I saw my "Windows 7 Ultimate 64" detect the bluetooth hardware.
    I was able to install the "Intel BlueTooth Driver" package from my motherboard's driver page:
    http://ca.msi.com/support/mb/Z97_XPOWER_AC.html#down-driver&Win7%2064
    In my "Device Manager", it displays as "Intel Wireless Bluetooth" in the section called "Bluetooth Radios".
    The problem is...
    I can't seem to get any "Wi-Fi" functionality from the module.
    In my "Device Manager", there is an item called "Network Controller" in the section called "Other Devices".
    It has an exclamation mark over it, and in the properties it says: "The drivers for this device are not installed".
    I suspected that the driver package called "Intel Wireless Display" might solve this problem.
    But when I run it, it says: "This platform is nor compatible witgh Intel WiDi...Your wireless card is not compatible...Your wireless driver cannot find or load necessary components..".
    I am really confused. Can anyone help?

    Okay, another strange update.
    So as I explained in my original post...no driver from the MSI website works for Wi-Fi.
    Then I tried the special USB that came with my board, which contains drivers.
    Using the autoplay, I had same result...bluetooth and network installed fine. But Wi-Fi still didn't get installed.
    But I found a solution using a strange method...
    I must explore the contents of the USB.
    I must navigate to "\Network\Intel WLAN\WIFI\WIN7 PLUS\Win7Plus\Win64\Drivers\Win7"
    Then I must double-click the "iProDifX.exe" located in the folder.
    This will display an icon that animates for a couple of minutes.
    Then the WiFi icon will appear in Windows taskbar and Wi-Fi starts to work!
    What is strange is that I don't think this component is available through any of the drivers offered at the MSI website.
    Also strange is that all the normal installers of the USB fail at installing this.

  • How to disable Toshiba TEMPRO alerts about new BIOS update

    Hi just installed TEMPRO on my W8 Satellite L875 laptop, ant it's saying there's a new bios update available - (1.60-WIN) which is the same version as I've already got.?:|
    Q: how can I make this alert go-away ?
    -Tom

    Thanks, but that's not quite what I had in mind ...
    I would have expected tempro to examine my system & installed components, and to alert me when a new/updated driver is released. I would then install the new/updated driver, and then tempro should dismiss the alert - or perhaps I'm just not understanding how tempro works ?

  • Qosmio X500-11U- Question about new BIOS update

    Hi to everyone
    I need to clarify a matter, the BIOS update that was released December 2010 was the 2.90 now a new release march 2011 is named 1.40! Is this an upgrade a downgrade or a joke? Should I proceed with the newest 1.40 or stick with the old 2.90?
    I forgot to mention that I own a X500-11U and thanks in advance

    Hi nick73,
    On Toshiba European driver download page there are two different versions available:
    BIOS-Update 1.40-WIN for X500 PQX34E models
    BIOS-Update 2.90-WIN for X500 PQX33E models
    Your model the X500-11U belongs to PQX33E series and that means only BIOS Update 2.90 is compatible and 1.40 would be the wrong version.
    So its not a joke and before you search for BIOS update next time, also use the correct part number ;)

  • MSI Z97 XPower AC Intel PCIe Lane 2 issue

    Im really disappointed with MSI. Iv gone through 2 of these motherboards and they just keep having faults.
    The latest one being that PCIe lane 2 doesnt even recognise my GPU which works perfect in the other lanes. Is there anything im missing in the bios?

    Thanks for the great help RemusM. You kinda have put my mind at ease but its really terrible from MSI to make such a mess up of this.
    Surely they would get loads of RMA's because of this since the no graphic cards works in PCI E2 slot
    Don't blame them so much.

  • MSI Z97 XPOWER AC - Form Factor?

    I have this board being shipped right now. I saw a question on Newegg asking whether this board is an E-ATX as mentioned at MSI, or XL-ATX as listed at the Egg.
    Hopefully, it's E-ATX as my Corsair 900D apparently doesn't support XL-ATX. I thought it did, but when I saw this question, I checked and it doesn't.
    If this motherboard is actually E-ATX then fine. If not, then I won't even open the box and will have to immediately return it.
    This board has every single thing I've waited and looked for, ever since the specs for the new Devil's Canyon cpu were announced.
    I also have an i7-4790K pre-ordered. They're supposed to be released June 25th.
    TIA.

    Thanks for confirming my suspicion.
    Any idea what an M.2 ssd is used for? Most Z97 boards, including mine, are M.2 ready, but what good are they?
    If, IF, you can boot from one, then it would help in making a benchmarking system, I guess.
    Just put a basic OS on it, along with your benchmark programs and nothing else. Not even a security program.
    All I'm after is a stable 5GHz with the Devil's Canyon cpu and a full water cooling loop.
    I know I've read that they won't easily do this, but the ones mentioned were all marked ES for Engineering Samples.
    ES models never have benched very well since they're for helping the motherboard manufacturers design their new boards.
    The faster cpu's will be retail versions, plus the ones that are binned for the company sponsored OC teams.
    It's been quite a while since I hit a stable 5GHz, http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2350918, 2 years & 1 month, and it's high time I did it again. That was either on air or some Corsair water cooler. I'm hoping a full water cooling system this time around will make up for all these overly hot cpu's Intel has stuck us with these past 2 years.
    Unless something drastic happens, this will be my last quad core system. Right now I'm running 2 Intel 6 core computers and am looking forward to X99 and, hopefully, an 8 core system with DDR-4.

  • Sound Blaster Cinema 2 Msi Z97 Xpower? Where?

    Good night
    I recently removed the sound card to test the sound of the motherboard and have to say that the sound is very poor, lacking punch and bass.
    I have read that the sound quality is very good but I do not see it.
    I have read that using the Creative Sound Blaster Cinema 2 software but once I install it tells me it is not compatible. Does this benefit?
    I use headphones Philips Fidelio X1 and the difference with my sound card is beastly.
    My previous motherboard, Asus Maximus Formula V had better sound but do not see it this time.
    Help me because you might place the sound card in another computer to the living room.
    Thank you.

    I had this problem before, try uninstall the Sound Blaster Cinema 2 software, and reinstall again.
    When installing the Sound Blaster Cinema 2, it seems take longer time to complete the installation.
    Maybe it not installed properly, cause the not compatible problem.

  • MSI Z97 XPower AC - 4 pin fan headers - PWM or voltage control?

    The instruction manual states that the 2 CPU 4-pin fan headers are PWM control rather then voltage control.  The rest of the 4-pin fan headers say "NC" on the fourth pin.  Does this mean that the fourth pin has "No connection" and that they use voltage control of the fan's RPM? If so, this seems like a big oversight not to have PWM control on all the fans like another well known motherboard manufacturer.
    My second question is...  does this motherboard control the fan speed by using variable resistance to the fan headers or produce variable voltage?  The following FAQ copied from Noctua's website states that there is a difference and the fans may not operate properly if used with resistance based fan control rather then the MB actually producing variable voltage.
    Can Noctua industrialPPC fans be used with fan controllers and resistor cables (Low-Noise Adaptors)?
    Noctua recommends not to use industrialPPC fans with common PC fan controllers, resistor cables (Low-Noise Adaptors) or other devices such as potentiometers that work by applying (variable) resistance rather than actually generating different voltages such as a laboratory power supply does. Due to the higher internal resistance of the industrialPPC fans’ three phase motor, applying additional resistance will cause the fans not to start (e.g. with Low-Noise Adaptors) or to have high starting speeds (e.g. with most common PC fan controllers). Please note that the industrialPPC fans feature starting voltages between 5.5V and 6V and can be run at these voltages on devices such as laboratory power supplies or mainboard fan controllers which actually generate lower voltages rather than applying resistance. Noctua thus recommends to use either PWM or voltage based mainboard fan control or laboratory/industrial power supplies for controlling the speed of industrialPPC fans.

    Indeed only CPUfan 1 + 2 are PWM controlled according to the manual. Also yes, NC means not connected on the other headers what is why speed control is shown among the three pins left. That of course means that voltage control is used for these headers.
    Controlling speed with resistor between power (12v) and fan is an aftermarket solution while on mainboards the voltage applied to the header is already of the voltage needed for control (generating lower voltages than 12v). So also in case of your board the lower voltage is generated and not lowered later on.   

  • MSI P67A-GD53 (B3) Boot loop after BIOS update

    Hi,
    I've just updated my BIOS to 7681v42 from an earlier version (can't remember which one exactly) and after the update I am stuck in a boot loop. The computer turns on for about 5 seconds or so and then switches back off, the CPU fan, motherboard fan & video card fan spin for a few seconds then power is cut.
    I've tried booting up with nothing else connected (no vga, memory, hdd, empty USB slots) to no avail. I have tried resetting the CMOS as well but I don't get any further than the reset loop.
    Can anyone suggest something? Is there any way to force the MB to use the backup BIOS?
    Thanks in advance.

    You can try doing this again with a single stick of ram or some different ram, but more than likely you will need to rma the board for re-flashing.

    I have saved the GPU BIOS as a file "Hawaii.rom" using GPU-Z and I have my S/N for the card.. what do I do next?
