MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition

MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition
why does the mother board not come equipped with an SLI connector??

Already according to manual the board does not come with an SLI bridge. It is very aggressively priced considering being meant for modding setups (normally to be paid premium). As it is quite cutdown to make this happen packing content is like to be expected of entry-level Z97 boards of the same price range.
Unfortunately unlike Nichrome said SLI bridges are never included with GeForce vgas so you'll need to get some from ebay or such. These are quite cheap.

    Did you try clear CMOS? >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
    Also does your motherboard have modified BIOS (so it shows "ibuywpower" on boot) or standard BIOS (MSI, Asus etc) ?

  • MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition powered usb question

    Is there any way to configure this motherboard besides wake by usb to have power to my usb ports while the computer is off? With wake by usb my pc turns on every I plug something in or unplug something and it's really annoying, makes me not want to buy another MSI motherboard.
    Thanks

    I want to disable that and still have power over the USB
    I doubt this is possible. Either ON or OFF I believe.

  • Z97S SLi Krait Edition - Can't enable SLI?

    Hi
    I'm trying to enable SLI on my Z97S SLI Krait Edition. I have an EVGA 970 Superclocked ACX 2.0 in one slot, and an Asus Strix 970 in the other and I've connected the SLI Bridge. I can't enable in the Nvidia control panel. Does anyone have any suggestions please?
    Thanks

    This is what i would try;
    -make sure slowest clocked card was in top slot but should make no difference tbh
    -uninstall all nvidia drivers
    -reboot in to safe mode
    -run DDU http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html
    -reboot and install latest drivers as an admin even if you are one (right click, run as)
    -enjoy sli (hopefully)
    Edit- forgot to mention that you should also make sure you got the latest bios on the board

  • What a ....... fancontroller on a Msi Z97S SLI Krait

    Msi Z97S SLI Krait was a mb i quickly bought when my non msi mb had trouble booting.
    I regret it, what a crapy fancotroller, it makes my fans artic F12 PWM a bit to loud, sometimes when they are a bit loud i open command center and
    see fans running faster then i have set it to in bios and command center (the samme curve) and why is lower limited only 50% for case fans, i don't think it's low enough for ultra low noise fans that can rung 300-500 rpm.

    Also note that even external fan controllers (those which go to drive bay) also have minimum of 50% up to 100% of power. Or Off (which is noted by the manufacturer that you turn it off at your own risk as it may damage the fan(s) )

  • Z97 SLI KRAIT EDITION POOR ACCESSORIES

    Hey all, just purchased a white and black krait edition for a new build, was going for gaming 7 but the style of this board just fit what i was building.
    Has anybody else purchased one of these and if so did you get a bundle of goodies in the box ???
    I have always gone with Asus in the past and have always had case badges, stickers etc etc in the box, MSI Krait nothing....
    I was hoping for at least a sticker with the krait design to assist my build but nothing, also no cmos jumper on the board, support tells me thats correct and i know its a tiny piece but how do you cross if cmos needs reset, anyway minor issues but just wondered what other people received, hope the 2 x 4g gtx970s  that are due any day have something in there lol

    No current board comes with a cmos jumper due to the already mentioned clear cmos button. Regarding accessorie note that the Krait edition is focussed on the clean look of it for casemodders' demand. Besides it is an entry level Z97 board and therefor being rather low priced for a Z97 board and offering the accessories to be expected on that price level. The Gaming 7 is a lot more expensive and therefor comes with more accessories. Hence you get what you pay for.

  • MOVED: Msi Z97S SLI KRAIT Questions

    This topic has been moved to MSI Intel boards.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=254395.0

    it's 4pin fans atm i don't use any 3 pin fans (artic F12 PWM)
    The one i have in my side panel is connected with a low noise adapter and run at 50% about 700-750 rpm
    The other 3 fans are connected to my 2 cpu fans (pst) so they run with speed according to my cpu fans, which is an advantage
    since they can run as low as 20% at low loads,temps, but connected to my mb sysfan header they are limited to 50% and that is waaaaay to much if i want them to be 100% silent, with command center limited is 50%, what i can set sys fan speed to as a minimum in the bios i don't know, i think it's also 50%
    That's not good enough, since 50% won't make fans like noctuas and other low rpm fans run as low as 300-400 rpm if i want a silent pc

  • MSI Z97 SLI Krait BOOT Code A2

    Hi.
    I have run accross an alteration in my POST behavior in my computer since i installed at file disk few Days ago.
    When i got the computer i installed the OS with just the SSD installed, and it installed just fine and worked fine.
    The boot process was extremly fast, no bios codes then or it went away before my screen had time to activate.
    But when i installed the file disk, it showed the code A2 during POST for about 5s then booted into windows as normal.
    Is this something that i need to troubleshoot more? Is there a problem with the filedisk, i cant remeber it staying at A2 for this long before the little time i have used the computer(have had some problem with a different motherboard, and the gfx so the place i bought it from took a look at it on 3 different occasions)
    BIOS isnt changed much out off the box. Just windows 8 features activated, fastboot off, and back fan turned down to 50%
    BIOS version should be the latest at the time im making this post.
    SSD: Samsung 850 Pro 256GB
    Filedisk: 3TB WD Green
    OS Installed in UEFI not Legacy
    Thanks in advance

    can you test this particular drive in another PC?
    sounds like BIOS issue, if can be called issue that takes this delay at cold boot only
    do a query with MSI Tech here: >>How to contact MSI.<<
    At the moment i cant test the drive in another PC.
    I was thinking of trying this tonight:
    -unplugg HDD and SSD
    -Connect SATA Cable that the HDD used to the SSD
    -Start it upp and see if it boots as fast as it did with only the SSD Before.
    -Then connect the HDD to the SSD sata Cable and see if the startup takes as long as Before (7-8s)
    -If its the same problem then it's not the Cable or specific sata port (shouldnt matter which sata port is used, as long as i dont have a m2 disk installed which i dont)
    -Switch back the Cables as it was Before.
    I dont Think this will make any difference but can be Worth trying.
    I have filed a support ticket to MSI regarding this, i will try the computer store i bougth the computer from if they have any ideas other then taking the computer to them again..... I would like to not have to take the computer to them for troubleshooting for the 4th time.
    I can detach the HDD and take it to them so they can try it.
    Sorry if my Spelling is abit off, English isnt my primary language.
    Thanks for all the help so far.

  • MSI Z97S SLI +

    I like this board. It has 8 Sata III ports and I always liked MSI boards. But it has received mixed reviews. Should I buy this, or the equally priced ASRock Z97 Extreme4/Extreme6?
    The Extreme4/6 has USB key, where you stick a USB drive in to log in. Does the MSI board have that?
    Does it support 4-way SLI?
    Which should I buy?

    Quote from: flobelix on 03-July-14, 04:50:40
    This is the MSI HQ Users-to-Users Forum. Quite obvious that we won't discuss competing brands' products here. The MSI board is good so you can buy it if you want. As you are looking for a higher priced board too (extreme 6) you can also think about the equally priced MSI Z97-GD65 Gaming or MSI Z97 Gaming 7 which also offer a dual bios for maximum update safety.
    No Z97 board without an extra pci-e controller offers SLI with more than two cards as it takes 8 lanes per slot minimum and socket 1150 doesent offer enough lanes for more than 2 x 8 lanes. What the other brand means with quad-sli is using two dual gpu cards like GTX690 or Titan Z (two gpus on one card). To sli such is possible on any sli certified Z97 board (so also Z97S SLI PLUS).
    Thanks! I would rather spend the money on an MSI board, but the reason I chose the ASRock was because it is under $145 at my Microcenter store. The MSI SLI + isnt in my MC store  .

  • MSI Z97S SLI PLUS - How to launch RAID controller?

    Hello,
    I need do remove hardware RAID from my two disks. Both where created on my old PC.
    In manual there is info about launch hardware RAID configuration (Ctrl+I), but I don't see this option when PC is starting.
    Where can be a problem? How to go into that configuration?
    Regards
    Leszek

    Thanks Svet for an answer.
    First off - i'm trying to remove hardware RAID and I cannot go into controller settings.
    My plan is to create software RAID on those disks, not hardware. I will use RAID two pair of HDDs - one mirror on 1TB and one mirror on 3TB.
