Need help with info about Z87 MPOWER MAX

Im coming from LGA 775. Dying for an upgrade. Im going with the intel 4770k and msi Z87 MPOWER MAX board. I noticed the board has two 8-pin cpu power ports. Why is this? Im using my old PSU which is a 1200 watt still kicking so im saving money here until a few more months...
So the real concern is I really don't know why there are 2 8-pin power ports for the CPU... Can anyhone school me on that please. Thanks in advance..

Both EPS/ATX headers on the mainboard are to better the balance the CPU power load. The Z87 Power Max is a high end enthusiast board for serious OC'ing, etc. If the PSU does not have the ability to provide both headers, an Athena YEPS828 splitter works very well.
Some PSUs don't have the ability at low power, especially in sleep or hibernate type modes to fire up the system again. A fan connected directly to the PSU eliminates, in some cases, this problem.
Hi Sea Dog,
My mpower max will sometimes not boot up - when I press the power switch there is no response at all, no fans. Usually when this happens, both the red and blue leds (which indicate which gear the OC Genie operates at) are lit.
I get the system to boot by removing the 24 pin power cable, removing and replacing one stick of ram, hook up the power, then I can use the switch to turn on as normal.
My psu is Corsair AX1200 and is not very old. Do you think I am having the problem you mentioned? or some other issue? Bios is latest, 1.6
Thanks

Hello, I need help with info about upgrading windows.

Hi, after having my PC for almost a year, I'm now I'm wondering if it's possible to upgrade my windows 7 32-bit to a windows 7 64-bit?

If it is possible to upgrade my windows 7 32-bit to a windows 7 64-bit, then how do I do it? And what things will be required?
Thanks.

upgrade is the wrong word (you can't upgrade from 32 to 64)you can install 64 bit you can use the lenovo disc to just write over whats on your HDD or you can formate your HDD then install 64 bit using the lenovo media info is here http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=HT002492 Edit: everything you need is on the disc...drivers & Apps, windows once you get it installed run system update to get system drivers up to date

Need help with info about the possibility of altering images when saved in a different format

I am very new to the design world. I have a printing business and received and image to be printed in Adobe Acrobat (I think). I needed to resize the image to be printed and took it into Photoshop CS6 where I cropped the edges. I then resave it as a PDF and took into a printer software, Fiery. Fiery has an Impose function where you can repeat an image to layout it on the correct paper size. It essentially just copies the original image several times depending on the layout. This particular image I repeated to 3 up and 1 across. When printed it came out with a magenta streak through the center image only. I have had the machine checked and they are adamant it's not a printer issue but a software issue. That once I altered the original image by resizing it that I altered the image and that I can't expect it to come out as seen on the screen. I've printed it all sorts of different ways and it only occurs with the 3 up 1 across image. I know that images can be changed when saved from program to program but this situation does not make sense that it is only the one area and layout that this shows up. I would appreciate any help, input, answers that anyone has. Again, I'm new to this and would like to understand if this is a potential for further printing jobs so that I can do what I need to avoid this situation.
Thank you for your time.

Jessica,
Without knowing how the original graphic was created it is hard to tell you how to handle it. What is the name of the file? (Only the file suffix is important). If the file's origin was in a drawing program and/Or InDesign, then the document should be handled differently if the document is a raster image best handled by a program like Photoshop.

I need help with just about everything...........

I realize that this is a site dedicated to all things Apple, but I am hoping I can't get some honest and impartial help on building the best home network and entertainment system.
I currently have an XP Media Center desktop computer in an office of my home where all of the network stuff is at and is connected via ethernet. I also have a Mac G4 MDD 1.0 that I am using in another room for Adobe Creative Suite to do my own promotional items and I have about a 50' Cat 6 cable running back to the router in the office. I also have a Vista laptop that is connected wirelessly but believe it is only a "g" network? I don't really use this a whole lot but take it out to job sites and such so there is information I need to send back and forth to my external drives hooked up via ethernet to my router. I am in the process of getting a new MacBook Pro as well.
I have a PS3 hooked up to my home entertainment center but unsure of how to make everything work the way that I want. Here is what I would like to be able to do. 1) Networking of all computers and external drives, 2) Operate my Mac G4 Wirelessly, 3) Addition of internal bluetooth to G4 so I can get a wireless keyboard and mouse, 4) Ability to play iTunes from external hard drives on home entertainment center, 3) Ability to stream media from internet and hard drives to HDTV in home entertainment center
I am looking to upgrade my router to dual band with either the Airport Extreme or the Netgear WNDR3700. I don't know which to get and have found about the same amount of pros and cons for each on the web. Any suggestions and why?
Do I need an Apple TV or a Netgear WNHDEB111 or other Digital Media Reciever???
What else would you recommend to accomplish my goals and why do you recommend the part and brand that you do.
Thank you in advance for any and all assistance I can get.

It's probably some kind of a wax substance and if so the alcohol may not dissolve it. You could try some cigarette lighter fluid or Coleman fuel on a small section and see if that does any good for removal of it. If it works then do a small section at a time and blot it dry so as not to saturate it with the fluid. Otherwise just leave it as is and don't worry about it.
What was the % concentration of the alcohol you used?
Edit: Make sure it's at least 91% or higher.
my mother has a pharmacy and i get the IPA from there but i checked the sticker on the alcohol it doesnt say anything about %
Edit: i talked to alcohol producer and they say its %99

Need help with question about Microsoft Excel?

I have recently begun using Microsoft Office for Mac. My question is related to the Excel program. I have used this for years on a PC where when the program opens, it shows a Workbook with a single page. However, on the Mac, when it opens, it shows many pages, the first going from column A to G, the second going from H to N, etc. and each page with the text "Click to add data". This continues forever. I would like to have just one sheet as on the PC. I have not found a way to limit this view to a single page. I have looked in the Preferences and in "View", but nothing seems to change the configuration. Any suggestions?
Thanks

My zoom only shows the magnification and does not give a "one page" option. However, I did find an icon that I loaded into the menu bar which gives the one page view. This may be due to the version 2004 that I am using.
I also find that if I want to change the number of columns and rows, I change the size of each. I assume this is correct.
Thanks for the help. This is slightly different that the PC version, but I am sure over time, there will be no problem.

Need help with question about upgrading phone

Okay, so, here's what's going on:
I currently have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Verizon.
It's dying/freezing/battery life is terrible. Looking to upgrade.
I don't have an upgrade available for my line, but my wife does.
She's giving me permission to use hers, which a Verizon rep told me is fine.
I want to use her upgrade to get a Samsung Galaxy Note II.
The best price (subsidized) right now is on Dell's site ($169.99), which I could price-match at Best Buy (employee confirmed this). However, it's still a little high for me.
I could get a better price by adding a line with this device - shave off $40 ($129.99).
So here's my question: is there any way to add a line, get some immediate savings on the purchase, then immediately cancel the line (maybe only taking a little bit of a hit, getting most of the cost reimbursed for not using it)? In other words, how can I get this phone as cheap as possible?
Thanks for your suggestions!

If you add a line as you suggest, that new line will come with a 2 year (24 month) contract for service that will have a $350 Early Termination Fee (ETF) if you cancel the line immediately like you indicated. There goes the thought of getting the Note II for the cheaper than the upgrade price.
I recommend going with the price match upgrade @ $169.99 at Best Buy. I can confirm they do the price match. I bought my last phone from Best Buy and they matched the Radio Shack price I brought them and I had a good experience.
Good luck.

Need help with question about indesign 2014...

I am using indesign 6 on a pc - simple question: when I update to indesign 2014, will the update keep all of my previous and current work?

Yes. Your documents will be unaffected by any new versions you install unless you open them in the new version and save them with the same name, then you will lose the ability to open them again in the old version.

I have a "Contact" organization issue I need help with. I organize multiple customers under their account affiliation. I place the people with their contact info under each account name by their dept/role in the notes section of their account. I am looking to be able to directly dial / email from this info in yet notes section located within a contact. On Blackberry, the notes area entered in a contact can connect directly but on the iPhone those numbers/emails are inactive. I am trying to avoid having to create each of these individuals as a separate contact and keep them under their account affiliation. It is easier to find them. This does not seem like that complicated of a request and hoping someone can tell me how or share an app that will enable the "notes" within a contact be "active". Hope this makes sense.

I seem to recall that this question has been asked before and I'm pretty sure that the answer is that you can't do what you want to do with the native contact app. However, there are lots of contact apps out there that pull from the built app's data but have other features. Perhaps one of them would meet your needs.

MSI Z87 Mpower MAX Internet Issue

Hello guys!
About a week ago Ive got the MSI z87 Mpower MAX for my new build.
However, I had some stranges issues with my internet rooter. He restart almost every hour, aleatory!!!!! Only with this pc (I have another one and it works fine)
So, I changed the rooter for a brand new one, and the same problem persist, only with the mpower max... Its not always, but 7-10 times in day my rooter restart if its plugged on my mobo.
Idk where start to solve this...
Im using the Windows 8 Pro version, with Avira Internet Security.
Can anyone help me? :(

I deleted your double post. Don't try again with multiple topics on your issue: >>Please read and comply with the Forum Rules.<<
Also it is obviously impossible to help you with just the board model and the info that you have an "issue"... Add full specs and proper description of the issue: Follow >>Posting Guide<<

Need help with clickbios ii terminolgy and values. Z77A-GD65 / 3770k

Hello All
I recently purchased a Z77A-GD65 board and after searching I've found the differences in terminology between this and my previous Asus board but still have a couple of settings I cant find any info on.
System Specs:
motherboard: msi z77a-gd65
cpu: intel 3770k
ram: corsair vengeance 2133mhz 1.5v
psu: corsair 850w
First things first is I believe I am running in turbo oc mode. I've selected the oc genie tab on the center right of the bios screen and proceeded to change settings there. With cpu voltage on auto and vdroop set to 50% at 4.6ghz. (I'll try and get screenshots of bios settings soon)
The following are the terms I need help with:
In the my oc genie section;
1. Long duration power limit
2. Long duration maintained
3. Short duration power limit
In the main overclocking section;
4. Digital Compensation level (not in owners manual, options auto/high)
5. Cpu core ocp expander (enabled for overclock 4.5ghz+?)
In the CPU Features section;
6. long duration power limit w (does "w" stand for watts?)
7. long duration maintained s (does "s" stand for seconds?)
8. short duration power limit
9. primary plane current limit a (does "a" stand for amps?)
10. secondary plane current limit
11. primary plane turbo power limit
12. secondary plane turbo power
I know those are a lot of settings, but would appreciate any simple definitions as to what they do and recommended values for mild overclocking (4.5-4.80)
Also on my previous board (Asus P8P67 Pro) my 3770k was stable in prime95 for 18 hrs at 4.5ghz fixed 1.155v with only ram timings put in manually and LLC set to extreme.(or whatever max is called in asus bios) Voltage was fixed and everything else was defailts.

Well I'm back. Been digging around for a few days and found some answers to my questions.
First things first s that for some reason I could not adjust voltage values with the + or - symbols. Clearing cmos did not help this. I had to reflash the bios to get this functionality back as well as clearing cmos before and after the flash.
So I figured out the values in the oc genie section are the same as the normal section but only used when your using the oc genie. (numbers 1-3)
Digital compensation level and ocp expander should be set to high and enabled respectively when going for higher overclocks. (4 and 5)
Now for the rest of my questions ( 6 through 12) I have found suggested settings and some info after hours and hours of searching but still have a couple of questions about them.
Long/short duration power limit, and primary/secondary plane turbo limit. I see suggestion settings of 250 or 255. I take it this is simply max supplied watts to the chip? If so why the 250/255 values? Is that the highest the board will give? Is plane turbo limit related to the enhanced turbo stated and how much wattage can be drawn there while the other limit is for any non turbo frequencies?
Long duration maintained, I've seen 60 suggested a lot. Why is this?
There's not an over abundance of info on these boards as compared to asus so it seems info is a little less documented and video tutorials explaining things are next to none.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Z87 Mpower Max Wifi Problem

Hey!
So I recently built this new PC:
CPU: I7 4770k || GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 770 Gaming 4GB || Mobo: MSI Z87 MPOWER MAX || RAM: Crucial DDR3 BallistiX Sport 2x 8GB || SSD: Samsung 840 PRO Series 256GB || Chassi: Cooler Master HAF XM Midi Tower || CPU-cooler: Noctua NH-D14 || PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 720W || OS: Windows 7 Ultimate || HDD: WD Desktop Green 2 TB | SAMSUNG SpinPoint 160 GB | HITACHI 250 GB
I'm happy with everything except the Wifi connection... I've been googling and searching on forums without any help so now I'm hoping someone know how to fix this problem...
I got a low connection to the router and it's terribly slow (the router is a WNR2000v2 but I've never had problems with it earlier and I get the same result with other routers). Basically, I get about 20Mbit/s with cable and the wifi from my laptop (HP ProBook 6560b with "Broadcom 4313 802.11b/g/n ") and the laptop can stand right next to my desktop PC and get 5/5 in connection vs MSI Mpower Max Wifi (Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 2230) which only get 3/5 in the same distance. I've tried all kinds of placements for the antennas without and improvement. BUT, my problem is that instead of getting 20Mbit/s I only get up to 5Mbit/s. Now... I run the latest drivers from MSI's Mpower Max webpage and I run the latest BIOS (Version E7815IMS V1.3), but I cannot find a solution.
Thanks in advance...
Sincerely,
Dexter
(Excuse my poor English)

I think you should go through some Windows settings. Also try to configure router (this might be the problem).

MSI z87 MPOWER MAX Compatibility Question

Hi I own the z87 MPOWER MAX motherboard and have recently been receiving blue screens while playing games ~10mins in.
Not sure what the problem is at this point, but I had a look through the VGA Support and Memory support sections as stated on the support section of MSI's page
And have found that my graphics card (GTX 590) and my RAM Corsair Vengeance CMZ16GX3M2A1866C9 isnt on the list. Would this be an issue?
Please let me know,
Thanks!

Both components should work fine considering compatibility. What other components are in use? >>Posting Guide<<
Thanks for the reply, I figured out the problem. A friend of mine installed League of Legends on my computer and it installed some drivers which ive uninstalled and it seems to have solved the problem.
Sorry for not abiding by the posting guide, just needed a simple yes or no as to the compatability of my parts with my mobo.
Thanks for your help!
