OC Genie on Z77A-G43

My previous board had a bottun to activate OC Genie. My new Z77A-G43 hasn't. How do I activate OC Genie, what items do I have to change in my BIOS ? Thanks for your answers.

Thank you. Of course I've read this direction. But is that the only thing I have to do, enable the OC Genie button operation. No adjustments to "adjust CPU ratio", "adjust CPU ratio in OS" and/or "Intel turbo Boost" ?

OC Genie and Z77A-G43
Look's like it's only fot GPU on this board
I try and it OC the GPU to 1350MHz(my i7-3770k 4000HD GPU on chip normal range from 350MHz - 1150MHz) not the CPU
And in the Bios if to put your mouse over OC Genie Button, it say to OC GPU
Some extra info before you buy :-)

Try defaulting all your overclocking etc, (Save the profile first)
Then enable OC Genie, see if it overclocks your CPU.
It's back to my i7-3770k @ 3.5GHz- 3.9GHz default
and then i enable OC genie, and it say OC genie for GPU
got some pic back in window with prime95 open and gpu benchmark, and only OC Genie for GPU
My OC Genie was on default, i set it up in bios to show the next pic My Oc Genie Option
(but it's set on default so OC GT Genie take control when i reboot back in window on the last pic, you'll see)
Here you can OC Genie GT Manually
In window with prime open and gpu benchmark, CPU at full load not OC by Genie but GPU full load Is OC by Genie(GPU normal is 350 - 1150MGz, OC is 350 - 1350MHz)
Like I said OC Genie Enable in Bios and setting in Bios for My OC Genie is Default not Custom, then I save and rest and boot into Windows 8
It's true it's a cheap motherboard but they advertise that it does OC Genie your CPU, maybe i should send them a e-mail about that...

OC Genie II - Z77A-G43 (MS-7758) Board

Hi all,
I've just bought a new PC and this board, I tried to use the OC genie but it doesn't seem to be doing much.
I enabled it with Control center and enabled it in BIOS, I get the flash screen at bootup telling me its on, but the clock speed doesn't seem to move from 3.3Ghz.
Here's some screenies:
Thank you,

However, it stays at 4.2 all the time, I assume this will decrease the life of my CPU and increase the power usage?
I'm an AMD fanboy so I can't really help you here. But I can say that if the temperatures and voltages of your OC is within the threshold of your CPU you have no need to worry about the life of the CPU. They'd probably last way after you have upgraded to the latest and greatest tech in a few years' time, even if your computer is on 24/7 with the OC in place. What is the warranty period for an Intel CPU? 3 years or 5 years?
On the other hand, if you are concerned about power usage I'm sure there is a setting in your mobo similar to AMD's Cool N Quiet. What Cool N Quiet does is throttle down the CPU when workload is light. And then, there are a bunch of power saving modes in Windows itself and also in the BIOS of your mobo. I've never used an Intel system (not counting the Pentium and Celeron) so I'll let the more learned bros here chime in.

Z77a-g43 OC Genie II.... does nothing!

Hello all.... just bought the z77a-g43 board and have attempted, several times, to use the OC Genie II function.
It does nothing. I reboot the system, am greeted by the OC Genie Warning screen, and then find I'm still running at 3.4ghz (3.8 Turbo all cores) with my i5 3570k. Once it OC'd the 3.8ghz, which is largely worthless given I can get near that with Turbo anyway.
Previous experience with the exact same CPU was in one of the z77 Intel boards where their auto OC would yield 2.2ghz+ OC's. Yet this gives me nothing.
Any experience with OC Genie II and this board? Installed BIOS is 1.3.
Thank You.

Sure, and I'll probably wind up doing that. But to also be honest, feels like very lame marketing on the part of MSI product management. As if they stuck it on a product that wasn't capable. Shame, as I'm less likely to trust MSI claims (such as OC Genie's) in the future... certainly not to pay a slight premium price!

To be honest, I don't use OC Genie, doing 100% of everything with BIOS related settings manually in the UEFI/BIOS. I don't use any Windows based settings utilities either. Other than what it says in the mainboard manual, or the pdf manuals downloadable from the MSI Websites, is about my limit as to specifics concerning OC Genie.

Z77A-G43 OC genie issues?

Hi. I recently bought a MSI Z77A-G43 motherboard and i was trying to use OC genie to OC my I7 2600K. When i went through, put it into OC genie mode, then made oc genie bios controlled; the "Customize" screen for OC genie is completely blank? Any ideas? Thanks...

When you set to OC genie mode it means that you are not allowed to do settings manually. If you think of it a bit closer the name is supposed to illustrate that the settings are being done by a genie.
So EITHER you do all the OC settings manually (customize) OR you leave it to the genie (OC genie II)!

Can i crossfire two radeon 7950's with msi Z77A-G43

Im looking to buy MSI's version of the Radeon 7950 twin Frozr to complete my system but im not sure if i will eventually be able to crossfire two of these cards in the future. I know that this MB only has one PCIe3 slots. Does this matter in crossfire? or will I have to replace the MB in order to corssfire?
MSI Z77A-G43
8gb Corsair Vengence
600 Watt Corsair PSU
Intel Core i5 3770k Oc's at 4.2 ghz
500 gb Western Digital HDD
Cooler Master hyper EVO 212

that should work but at PCI-E REV 2.0 speeds just make sure you have gen 3 support turned off or it will not allow crossfire!

Z77A-G43 OC 4.3 with power saving work, thanks xmad

Z77A-G43 OC 4.3 with power saving work , Thanks xmad
Goes up @ 4.3GHz on full load, then come down to 1.6GHz idle( perfect) try with prime95 about a hour, temperature when up to 71c then between 58-65c
Set all to auto, then enter the cpu features.
Set the power levels short / long to 255 and the power duration to 2 seconds.
Then increase the turbo speed there to w/er you wish 4.2-4.5 are typical everyday overclock settings.
( OK mine if i'm not mistaking it's 1-core ratio limit [43] ,
2-core ratio limit [43] , 3-core ratio limit [43] 4-core ratio limit [43]
Pic attached
Other settings needed.
Vdroop: 75-100% ( NOT available on mine)
Pll : enabled
Overspeed protection: Disabled
Enhanced Turbo: Enabled
Ok now i'm experimenting a little bit, i try 44 for ratio but crash after prime 95 working
Should i adjust vcore small step at a time?
or other setting? thanks

Ow hi guys
I just found this while I've been searching and reading up on overclocking and I was wondering if you guys can just help me out? I will continue to read up and learn more, but is it possible to kind of give me a step by step of what to do with this exact board & Bios?
I also have the Z77A-G43 OC & i7-3770k and from the looks of the reading I want to get to 4.4ghz
I've read the posts and see the pics, but where should I start & what exactly should I all change before starting up windows & running prime etc
Any help would be appreciated aimed at a beginner like me would help Overclocking is just something I'm really learning about now.
TY
Mine is running At 4.3GHz with auto vcore, with Antec water cooler 920 no issue so far..
On reboot, click delete to enter bios then do same setting has me but with Vcore auto, save and reboot, in window under click center , check your clock speed under load, it will give your i7-3770k stable clock zone..
Look in here, the last one https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162043.0
If you don't mind to try overclock genie first in the bios, I sure would like to know if it does anything for you, cause mine it's only capable to OC Genie the GPU only, . I wrote to company about it but no reply yet..
But it might be a cheap board but you can still overclock it anyway..

Pci-e 3.0 not showing..Only PCI-e 2.0...I7 3770k and GTX 660 TI-Z77a-G43

I am hoping this is an easy one for all of you....I just built another Msi Board...Board in the title....
I enabled Pci-e 3 in Bios-before I even installed the operating system.....so after all the updates...all the drivers....100% ready for retail..
I downloaded Gpu-Z,,,,,,showing up as Pci-e 2.0.....so i did the render test and it stayed at 2.0...did not climb to 3.0....
This is my first combo---Pci-e 3.0 board and Processor.....am I missing a setting?
speccs....
I7 3770k----Z77a-G43.......GTX 660 Ti DC2......Windows 7 Ultimate....
and yes at first i thought it was speed stepping it down....But when I ran the render test that Gpu-z has....it maxed everything and never showed at 3.0....
Thanks
Hey Mods.....I messed up and put this post with the amds......Sorry

I hate replying to my own Post..But i figured just encase, somebody else has the issue....They will know ,it is not just you..It is on most boards, with the older bios....If I would have posted in the right forum..Intel..LOL!!!!I would have found the answer right off the back...
This board need the beta Bios...Not a big deal, But as for right now..It is running great. No need for a bios update. Because there would be no performance gains at all...maybe 2 or 3 fps...Not even enough to make it worth it. My board is running great and I will leave Great alone.
Most Vid Card can not take advantage of the Pci-e 3.0 slots...and from what i read it will be about 3-5 years before we can get cards to take advantage...That kind of bite, But what can you do.........Thanks for reading if I have wasted your time...
These are not Facts--This is Just stuff I read on other post and forums...I could be 100% wrong......

Z77A-G43, ALC892 chipset no SPDIF?!

I'm trying to figure out how to connect a surround receiver to my Z77A-G43 mobo's sound card.
It's an old reciever, it doesn't have HDMI. It has 2 digital INs. Optical and Coaxial. Thing is, I can't find a SPDIF jack on the mobo, even though the on-board is a Realtek ALC892 chipset and should support SPDIF. I tried connecting to the 3.5mm jacks with a Mini-Toslink but that doesn't work or maybe I'm not doing it the right way.
Do I have to buy a sound card with a SPDIF jack? Or is it possible to add a SPDIF bracket somehow? Or is one of the 3.5mm jacks is a dual one, also being digital?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

xmad, there is no way to change the settings in the Realtek HD Audio manager to digital :(
I think XFM is right... there is not S/PDIF on this board.
What I was saying is that the Realtek ALC892 supports S/PDIF, is says it on the product's page.
So I'm wondering how come there isn't a S/PDIF jack on my board...
I was able to hook up the receiver to my TV which is connected to my graphics card with HDMI.

Z77A-G43 drivers from MSI website not working

Hi, I've just built a new computer on a Z77A-G43, running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
Specs:
i5-3570K
8GBs of Corsair RAM
MSI 7850
120GB Intel 330 SSD - system
1TB WD Green - secondary
Instead of installing drivers from the supplied CD (except for ethernet drivers), I went to the MSI product page for my mobo for newer drivers. All goes well, except that I can't install the last driver I want - the Intel VGA driver for the GMA HD 4000 that's in my CPU. I read the readme, so I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. When I launch Setup.exe all I get is this error: "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software." Running as admin doesn't change anything.
I'm thinking it must be the wrong driver. I looked through Intel's site, but would like to get a tested option here from MSI. I read some other forums of people having similar problems, some can't even boot after installing. I don't want to get into that situation. Could MSI please update the drivers page with the correct drivers? This driver isn't on the mobo CD anyway, so it's the only way to get it from you guys.
Btw, I also noticed the same problem with the Intel Rapid Start driver and I haven't tested the Intel Smart Connect driver. I'm not going to use either one of these, but it's worth noting.
Edit:
Found the VGA driver on the CD, but same result. Through the autorun MSI interface the VGA driver button in the Drivers menu is unclickable.

I finally got around to installing the VGA drivers for the GMA HD 4000. You don't even need to unplug your discrete card (PEG), in BIOS just switch to initiate IGP and make sure you have an HDMI/DVI/DSUB plugged in to the monitor and scanning for input. If you go to the Windows device manager, you'll see the system is detecting a new graphics adapter. You can proceed with the installation of the drivers as they will now detect the IGP. Then one restart and you're done. Btw, after restarting, if you have your discrete card connected and monitor also plugged in, the video input may fall back to it, so don't panic if you hear the Windows start up sound and see a black screen.
Unfortunately the G43 does not come with any support for Lucid Logix Virtu software, so that was my mistake, when I said I see it all in the BIOS earlier. In the BIOS, all you can do is switch between which graphics adapter you want to initiate and some memory size settings when multi-monitor is enabled in IGP mode. There aren't any d-Mode or i-Mode settings.
Btw, how can I mark this as solved?

5.1 speakerset not working in win8/Z77A-G43

Hello all,
New on this forum, so i will try the get my question/problem clear .
I recently bought a new desktop with a Z77A-G43 motherboard, this should support a 5.1 speakerset.
So i am trying go get my Logitech X530 speaker to work in windows 8 with specified motherboard. All goes fine with the setup, all tests run and all speakers pass the testsounds on 5.1 and thus are working. However when i start a game only stereo is given (2 front speakers work, all others in deep silence). Same goes when i start VLC to play MP3's, only stereo. After some searching i can not find anything that is wrong, soundfill is checked, room correction is on but no 5.1.
So in a last try i installed AC3filter which sovled this same problem in windows Vista. Result is not a thing, still no 5.1 working.
Please need some help in solving this.
Just downloaded a new driver for the realtek HD, will this resolve my problem? Current driver version is 6.0.1.6657.

Your issue is drivers related.
For Windows 8 use 6.0.1.6839

Z77a-G43 with I7 2600K no Video

I have been pulling my hair out, I recently purchased a new Z77a-g43 mother board and an I7 2600K processor. Everything posts fine and I installed win7 64bit and installed the drivers, but when it reboots it starts loading windows and then just shuts down. I have narrowed it down to the on board video driver. If I uinstall it then the system works fine. When I try to re-install the video driver and reboot then it then shutts off while booting. So if I press the F8 key and boot back in to the last known good time it boots up with the standard vga driver. For specifics, I am running 16gig of DDR3 Patriot Sector 5, with the mb and processor and 2 2TB Hitachi drives.
The bios on the board was 2.2e which is not even list on the website yet. Hopefully this is just a bios issue and will be fixxed in the future.

Looking at it with live update it show 2.22 as the current version on the board installed right now. I can't check remotely what is reported in the bios, but on the board I returned, it reported it has 2.22e . The one available online was reported as 2.22 . I backed up the 2.22e then reverted or assumed it was reverting to the 2.22 without any change. I returned the board thinking it was bad, only to have the new board do the same thing. On the new board, I did not check the bios version from the bios as I did with the other. MSI Liveupdate is reporting 2.22 current.
I do have the 2.22e backed up though. Maybe this was a beta released fw.

Black screen at boot MSI Z77A-G43 with HD7850

Hi,
I've tried everything You suggested in this topic. I've upgrade and downgrade bios (official 2.3, 2.4, 2.8, 2,9 / beta 256, 281,296) few times but still is black screen at boot. Now i'm on the newest beta bios 296 and still same issue on Sapphire HD 7850 with my Z77a-G43 board. I know for sure that sapphire working well because I've checked on other mobo with even worst PSU (400W instead 550W Volcano). Before hd 7850 I had gtx460 and swith those few times and always gtx460 works fine, so I don't understand anything right now.
Tried different slots, also clear cmos.
Board: MSI Z77A-G43
Bios: Version 296
VGA: Sapphire HD7850 1GB

Do you see the same problem on bios 2.90?
The Z77A-G43 seems the have difficulties accepting HD7xxx AMD VGA cards lately.
It seems that the problem is gone. I thought of it being an ATI driver issue ~ but not even the latest didn't fix it. But since I flashed to BIOS 2.9 I haven't encountered the problem anymore. So I believe something is fixed between 2.3 to 2.9.
However my problem was a bit different that the OP has.
Oh, and I said this on other thread so I say it here too: MSI and Asus 7xxx cards haven't faced the kind of issues Sapphires are having. I'm so glad to my choice... as I almost picked Sapphire but then read comments on Newegg which weren't in favor for Sapphire.

Z77A-G43 - DRAM banks 1&2 acting up.

Hey, guys. Thanks in advance for your time. I know it gets busy around here.
I am putting together a new system for the wife, and have an odd little issue. The DRAM banks 1 & 2 cause a pre-POST boot-loop when either are used. Banks 3&4 work perfectly. When a stick is in bank 1 or 2, the computer will power on, the fans spin, no video output, then it shuts itself down (regardless of what banks 3 & 4 hold). Repeats a few seconds later. All the usual trouble shooting has gone down. BIOS is all out-of-box default. All the components are brand new, but regardless were systematically replaced/removed one by one to narrow it down to these 2 ram banks. Needless to say, the RAM is fine - tested in two different computers. The memory banks are clean, new, with no visible dirt or damage. It's just odd.
Code: [Select]
1 2 3 4 <- Bank # ... X = used ... O = empty
X X X X = FAIL
X O O O = FAIL
O X O O = FAIL
X X O O = FAIL
O O X X = OK
O O X O = OK
O O O X = OK
The RAM in use is Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600MHz PC3 12800 4 GB (4 identical sticks = 16gb total) (KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX ). With RAM in memory banks 3 & 4, BIOS tones it down to 1333 from 1600, but that's the least of my worries. BIOS shows the timing as 9/9/9/24 and the voltage around 1.45 (can't remember exactly) even when it's increased to 1.65 (as suggested by the sticky). I also tried going 1 stick at a time but it started acting up as soon as I put anything in bank 3 or 4. There's just a lot of BIOS options that I simply don't know what they do.
I realize you guys have seen a lot of issues and was curious if you wouldn't mind lending a hand? I know my way around a computer, but certainly don't have the specialty knowledge particular to these pieces of hardware that you guys do. Any help is very appreciated. Please let me know if there's any information I can provide. I am dumping anything I think could be remotely relevant in this message. I really hope it's not a faulty board. Between disassembly and shipping, that would be an awful hassle.
Here's what I'm working with:
MSI Z77A-G43 (BIOS v2.2B2)
Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600MHz PC3 12800 4 GB (4 identical sticks = 16gb total) (KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX )
Intel Core i5-2500 3.3ghz
Nvidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti 2gb
PSU: Cooler Master GX 750W (RS750-ACAAE3-US)
A-Data 120 GB SATAIII Sandforce SSD (AS510S3-120GM-C)
Western Digital Caviar Green 2 TB HD (WD20EARX)
Case: Cooler Master HAF 922 (RC-922M-KKN1-GP)
No OS has been installed. I didn't want to get too involved until I knew the hardware was staying put.
Thank you again for your time.

Quote from: Jack on 14-April-12, 13:42:19
I think the potential explanations for your problems are only a few. We can, I think, exclude a memory compatibility problem, since the sticks work fine in other slots.
In my oppinion, what we are looking at is one of the following things:
1. A problem with the memory controller (which is inside the processor) = defective CPU
2. A pin-contact problem between the CPU's contact pads and the board's socket pins causing certain memory slots to be improperly connected to the CPU's memory interface
3. A short-circuit problem, blocking the functionality of the memory slots (test the board outside the case on a non-conducting surface)
4. Defective memory slots or a problem in the underlying circuits = defective board
At your suggestion, I have made a couple of attempts to reseat the CPU (regarding #2). I realize that was a long shot, and not surprised to see no difference. I just wish I had another LGA 1155 CPU to swap out and test #1. I'm going to continue to brainstorm this for a few days before putting in a RMA request.
