What is the best memory kit for MSI Z97 Gaming Series with 4790K?

What is the best and most stable kit in each category?
1. 4x8Gb
2. 4x4Gb
3. 2x8Gb

Not really good idea. It's temporary usage, and instead of RAMDisk I suggest you buy SSD of SATA III or M.2 depending on what motherboard you have. Go for 16Gb, and buy 120Gb SSD, it will be more efficient. Also you won't get much difference between starting game like Battlefield 4 on SSD and RAMDisk.
Or buy 2x60Gb SSD, 1 for OS and 1 for apps so OS drivers doesn't mix together with games etc.

Issue with Audio Playback and Uninterrupted Playback in MPE (Hardware Mode)

I'm currently using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 with the latest update (6.0.1).
I'm encountering a very serious problem where the audio from my video clips mute sudddenly when I'm editing and playing back. This happens when other music or audio in the audio lanes (tracks) below that particular 'video clip audio' plays just fine. It literally mutes without any parameter change. This only happens to some of the clips while some plays back normally. I have to reopen my project to fix this and after 30 or 40 minutes of editing it happens again.
And the Source monitor blacks out when it do edits while I'm playing back video. (It's really disappinting when the most anticipated feature in Premiere CS6 fails to work in my computer) I'm editing in the MPE Hardware Mode and if I switch back to MPE Software mode this problem goes away.
My Camera is a Canon XF300 and I'm using the 50 Mb/s MXF 422 format. I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with the camera because the clips work just fine in CS5.5
My System Specs are;
Intel Core i7-2600 3.4GHz
16GB RAM
nVidia GeForce GTX 570 2GB (eVGA)
Windows 7 Ultimate
Blackmagic Studio Card (Onboard but Disabled)
Alesis Firewire Audio io26
4x 1TB Segate Hard-Drives
Help is really appreciated.
Cheers Mates!

How do I do that? And just the project file would be enough?
And I found another person with the same "Audio" problem as mine but his workaround isn't working for me.

I guess you can get a better picture about the problem from that post.

Issue with ALSA softvol and reloading sound card module

I'm using a Chaintech AV710 card with the snd_ice1724 module as a driver. The core issue is that sometimes when this module is loaded during startup (or every time after a suspend), it will play nothing but very loud static. To fix this, I simply reload the module. This fix worked fine for me while I used pulseaudio: I would just kill pulse, reload the module, and start pulse after every suspend. Now, however, I'm using a system that involves an ALSA softvol plugin. The softvol device is being used by JACK: jackd -d alsa -d softvol. When I reload the module using this setup, the softvol control I set up becomes locked at 100%. amixer reports "Invalid command!" for sset Master2 10%. The audio will still play, but I can't figure out any way to reset it to make this control work again short of renaming the control, restarting jack, renaming the control back to the original name, then restarting jack again. Any help alleviating this issue on any of these fronts would be appreciated. Relevant asound.conf sections:
pcm.mycard {
type hw
card AV710
device 1
rate 44100
channels 2
format S32_LE
pcm.softvol {
type softvol

MOVED: MSI Z97 Gaming 5 and Intel Core i7 4790K

This topic has been moved to GAMING Motherboards.

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

Microphone issue with MSI Z97 GAMING 5

Hi there!.
I have just set up my new computer and i have problems with my microphone. My mainboard is a "MSI Z97 GAMING 5" and my box: NOX Coolbay SX.
I have installed the drivers from disk and tryed also searching drivers on the web of MSI. I can hear with my speakers with no problems, same with my headset. But there is no way to use my microphone. I put it in the front panel, then i checked the control panel - sound and Windows tell me that the microphone is connected, but dont work. if i put it in the back panel, the realtek HD administrator tell me that something is connected in the microphone slot but WIndows dont detect it.
in the BIOS, the HD Audio is ENABLED. I dont have any idea about what to do now. I have search on this forum but i havent seen this same issue. Can you help me?

I'd be more for RMA'ing the board.
But personally, I'm staying away from Killer Network products from now on. They are buggy and do not work very well when they don't work. Sometimes they don't work at all. Check back through these forums, and one of the biggest issues with any of the boards and/or laptops is always the Killer Networks NIC's. And there is no simple and easy fix for many of the issues.
If it was me, I'd buy a nice wireless card and use that instead. Or do the Intel mod you posted about.
I won't say that the Killer Networks device SHOULD work, but time and time again they prove to not work. In that case, I'd replace it with something that will and move on. A $40 wireless card to not spend days or weeks trying to fix the problem is money well spent in my opinion.
now im going with powerlink and all went good, but as all know, powerlink after 2 years will broke and need to replace..... but online game with eth is always better.
So im tihink to resend to AMAZON and ask for refund and ill rebuy a gaming 7 without wifi this change refund me a good 100 euro......

New MSI Z97 Gaming 3 - very strange audio issues

(sorry for the long post)
Hi, I recently bought some computer parts from Newegg and built my first gaming pc yesterday, but when everything was finished setting up I noticed a major issue with the audio. Both the headphone jack on the motherboard and the headphone jack from the front panel connector aren't working correctly.
If I plug in my headphones into the motherboard jack, the audio level is REALLY low. Like, even if I turn up the volume to 100% it sounds like it's only at 10%. I looked through the volume settings for the headphones and didn't notice anything wrong. Then I tried updating my drivers with the cd and ran the live update utility, but nothing changed. Also, the audio will sometimes make distorted/static sounds when the music itself is loud, yet I can still barely hear the music.
The front panel jack is even worse! The sound is much more distorted/static-y when I plug in my headphones there.
I know it's not my headphones fault because they work fine on my laptop. Even if I plug in a different pair, I still get the same low volume and static.
I know the front panel issue is not because of the case. If I put the motherboard in an old HP case and plug in my headphones into the front panel on this case, same issue. (I know the old case normally works fine).
I even tried running a linux live usb in case it was something wrong with Windows. It still had the same issues.
My specs:
MSI Z97 Gaming 3 ATX LGA1150
Intel Core i5-4590
MSI GeForce GTX 970
Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB
WD Blue 1TB
XFX XTR Series 550W
Windows 8.1 Pro
I would really appreciate some help. It seems like I've tried everything.

Hi
What is the BIOS version your board currently has?
Try without graphics card and with single RAM stick.
You could also try out of the case on non conductive surface like wooden table or motherboard box, and see if it works then. Might be something in either cases shortening the board.

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
Memory: 16GB 4x4 Corsair vengeance pro
Hard disk: 2 X 1TB 1 X 1TB SSD
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 3/Gaming 5 with an i5 4690k

Hi guys, I just registered here and i have a few questions if you dont mind .
I was reading a bunch of articles saying that some MSI cards wont work with the new Devils Canyon without the bios updated.
I was planning on buying the MSI Z97 Gaming 3 or Gaming 5 (whichever is better) with an i5 4690k, my question is will this motherboard accept the CPU right from the start without needing to update the bios?
Thanks.

Quote from: Nichrome on 12-July-14, 19:52:34
Well if it works out of the box, then it just works. If it doesn't work out of the box, you would have to take the board to someone who has a CPU that should work in 100% and reflash to the latest BIOS.
Yes, you will have to change sequence/prioritisation of the booting in the BIOS. If anything goes wrong, or you want to get default settings back, then here you can have a >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
PS: Make sure you have your USB Stick IN when you change sequence, otherwise it won't be possible to change this. And it's not called UEFI USB, unless you will be installing Win 8 in UEFI mode?
I guess youre right. I talked to the guys at the store im buying the motherboard from and they said they would check on monday what bios version the motherboard has and flash it if its required, even though im betting its the 1.0. Im confused here I never said anything about an UEFI USB. I always intsall my OS from a bootable USB stick that I configure with the win7 tool. Thank you kindly for your response and help.

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.

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.
Quote from: jotan.va on 24-November-14, 18:05:51
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?

You could try your device 1 by 1 and see which one of it is causing the A2 issue
about this i already suggested the same:
Quote from: Svet on 23-April-15, 21:42:28
connected them one by one, and see which is causing this hang eventually
he said any one of them alone is caused this A2 when its connected:
Quote from: sebastianmancipe on 23-April-15, 21:49:10
Already perform this test with any 3 devices, SSD, HDD or DVD's the same.
Curiously hangs on A2 code when first turned not when restarted.

¿this version of BIOS where it came from? It is official? because they have not posted on the official website of the Z97 Gaming 7? as had understood the latest BIOS for this motherboard is the 1.90
its official, but beta bios and newer than your current.
try all other things 1st that people suggested you, leave bios flashing as last option

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
