Just a reminder people..... When flashing the bios in windows disable your antivirus and firewall first as these can interupt with the flashing process and run the EXE Updater in Admin mode to.

MSI Gaming 7 OC Genie button

The OC Genie button on my mobo doesn't activate when pressed. I can activate OC Genie in the bios however. Any thoughts?

Within BIOS change settings of how to activate OCGenie: either BIOS or onboard button. I believe it can be found in either Advanced ir Overclocking section.

Command centre utility crashing on x99 gaming 9 ac motherboard

Hi
I would like to report that command center is crashing on x99 gaming 9 ac motherboard bios version 1.2, I have recently built a new system with all new parts, cpu-intel 5930k, memory Corsair- Vengeance 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4. Ssd –Samsung evo 840 and a fresh copy of window 7 64bit. Windows 7 is fully updated with .net framework 4.5.2. I installed the command center from the msi website as it wasn’t included in the CD. The version I downloaded was 1.0.0.79 I have just recently updated to 1.0.0.82, and command center crashes on BOTH versions. When NO changes has been made to the motherboard eg, xmp or the OC genie has NOT been turned on I can run the command center app fine and it will not crash but as soon as any changes has been made for example turning the xmp button or oc genie button in bios to ON and after rebooting I run the command center app and it will load for about 10 second and then crash. I have included the windows log file below. is anyone else experiencing this on the x99s gaming 9 ac motherboard and anyone got any suggestion on how to fix.
Regards

Did you try use only one RAM or use another SSD or HDD?
I heard that Samsung SSD seems having some compatibility issue.

X99S Gaming 7 - motherboard temp readings in fast boot?

Hi, odd question but does anyone elses motherboard error message display/temp sensor display not display the temperature if MSI fast boot is set in BIOS?

Then try latest BIOS as TZBC suggested

If you would prefer DOS way of flashing, you can try to >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
And latest BETA for your board to be used with Forum Flash Tool:

Sometimes BETA BIOS fixes the issues that are not released yet officially.

MSI X99S Gaming 7 Won't Boot

Hi -
I just recently purchased an X99S motherboard. I put it all together, and all was fine for about 24 hours. I updated the BIOS and then started running a defrag and left the machine on while I went to work. When I got home, the machine was off. It's not responding to the power button the board or on my case. If I turn the power off on my PSU and turn it back on and hit the power switch, I get a split second flash of lights and then nothing. I initially thought that it was my power supply so I bought a new one. I got that installed and same thing. One thing to note is that the MSI LED up by the 24 pin connector is on red. I've already tried the secondary BIOS and I have removed all of the memory except the DIMM in Slot 7. I haven't yet tried to remove the board from the case yet and tried it on a non conductive surface. I just wanted to get some thoughts on that debug LED that is currently on. I believe the motherboard has just died, but wanted to run it by someone first.
Here are my specs:
Board: MSI X99S Gaming 7
Bios: Version 14.7
VGA: MSI GTX980 Gaming
PSU: EVGA 1000 Watt G2
CPU: Intel Core i7-5930K 3.5GHz
MEM: Corsair Vengeance 2666 4x4gb CMK16GX4M4A2666C16
HDD: PNY 256GB SSD
COOLER: Corsair CWCH60 Water Cooler
OC: None
OS: Windows 8.1 64bit

Take it out of the case, place on non conductive surface (wooden table, motherboard box) and run it then. Also try with single RAM stick in every RAM slot.
Try clearing CMOS >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Also make sure all power connectors are properly fitted in.
What way did you update the BIOS? Also was it successful?

Problem with X99S GAMING 9 AC - PCIE-PORT reporting V1.1 same with SLI

Yeah as the topic is saying, I got issue with my PCIE 3.0 ports, they are saying my grafic cards are running at x8 1.1
I should first mention that I had these issues for a while, and I also updated all drivers to the latest versions, but still same issues. I got the 1,4 bios version for the motherboard and the nvidia V344.65 that was released today.
I tried to change it in bios from auto to gen 3 on the PCIE-ports, but still same results.
I made a post earlier about that SLI running slow in WoW and 3Dmark Firestrike. Maybe this is the source to the issue due to the ports running at 1.1 and not 3.0?
Also, in both WoW and 3Dmark Firestrike, I get much higher FPS and results with just one grafic card activated, when I go into SLI the results drop like a rock..
The weird thing about SLI though, that it seems to work okay in games like Diablo 3 ROS and 3Dmark11.
I have my grafic cards in the recommended PCIE-ports, 1 and 4.
Here is a screenshot how it looks like in GPU-z:
Is this a known issue and is there any upcoming fix to this? Feels really bad I can't use my grafic cards to their fullest potential..
My whole computer setup:
Intel i7 5820K | MSI X99S Gaming 9 AC (bios 1.3) | SLI MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4GB | Samsung 850 Pro 512 GB | WD Red 4TB | G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4 3000MHz 4x4GB | EVGA SuperNOVA P2 1000W | Noctua NH-U14S PnP | Fractal Design Define XL R2 | 5 Noctua NF-A14 PWM 140mm fans | Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

Quote from: Svet on 12-November-14, 23:58:15
its probably because the render test doesn't handle or don't support SLI well and second card become back to idle
run something else apps., bench or games who support SLI well then check their modes
Enable sli load balancing if needs from nvidia control panel to check SLI utilization
Seems to work the correct way when I start a game, but still got issues with WoW and 3Dmark firestrike. My results with SLI is far worse then with just one single card activated. Anyone know why?
I get more FPS from WoW with one card then two, and I get much higher score in 3Dmark firestrike with just one card..

Problem with JPWR2 on a X99S GAMING 7

Hi,
Currently I have a problem with JPWR2 on a X99S GAMING 7 Motherboard. When I plug a 6 pin or a 8 pin on the JWPR2 the motherboard crash and the cable overheat or short-circuit. My power supply is a 1000W SIlent pro bronze. I tested with a new cable on another port on the power supply but it doesn’t work. I tested with without CPU too but still the same problem.
Can someone help me ?

you are using the Cooler master 1000W silent pro bronze right?
Normally the power supply should have 4 pin or 8 pin, the 6pin/8pin is normally for the VGA card and not for the Motherboard.
Please double check again and use the 4 pin or 8 pin for the MB.

X99S GAMING 9 AC Not booting - Debug 94 code - Issue with GTX 980 SLI in WoW

Hello, I bought the X99S GAMING 9 AC motherboard but have ran into some issues.
The computer won't boot when I put my second MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4 GB card in the last PCEI 3.0 port (PCIE port 5) and I get the debug LED message 94 on the motherboard. I have a SLI setup.
The first card I have in the second PCIE 3.0 port due to the Noctua U14S CPU fan takes up space for the first slot. So I have been running my grafic cards in PCIE slot 2 and 4 with some issues.
First the card in slot 2 gets really warm over 86 celsius. And second: SLI runs really poorly in World of Warcraft. I get a lot higher performance with just one card activated. I am not sure if it's cause I am not running my cards in the recommended PCIE 3.0 ports or because WoW has some issues with SLI, but I heard other people have no issues at all with WoW in SLI.
I got the same issue with 3Dmark firestrike, the cards perform really poor in SLI. I get higher score with SLI turned off..
Though SLI seems to run pretty well in 3dmark 11 and Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls.
But the main issue right now, is that the computer won't boot with the grafic cards in PCIE port 2 and 5. The solution to run them next to each other is not good, cause it gets really hot and I get bad performance in WoW and Firestrike.
Picture of my setup before I switched places with the grafic cards as you can see, it is really tight:
Any upcoming bios updates (got v1.3) that will solve this issue on the horization? Hopefully this get sorted out really soon..
My whole computer setup:
Intel i7 5820K | MSI X99S Gaming 9 AC (bios 1.3) | SLI MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4GB | Samsung 850 Pro 512 GB | WD Red 4TB | G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4 3000MHz 4x4GB | EVGA SuperNOVA P2 1000W | Noctua NH-U14S PnP | Fractal Design Define XL R2 | 5 Noctua NF-A14 PWM 140mm fans | Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

You must use the recommended PCIE slots as the manual says for your CPU type, PCIE #1 and PCIE #4 if I remember, just open the manual :P for optimal 2Way SLI, also your 5820k will limit to 28 pcie lanes only if you plan to add more vgas...the other problem is your giant CPU air cooler blocking PCIE#1, do a favor to yourself, buy a watercooler for your 5820k and your problems are gone, add some overclock in your system, low noise and better temps.
Here I use 3x980 in SLI with X99S Gaming 9 AC, going soon to WC the VGAs with EK blocks.....3way is far more temperature critical than 2way spaced one.
Cheers

MOVED: MSI x99s Gaming 7 problem

This topic has been moved to GAMING Motherboards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=184649.0

X99S Gaming 7 Literally can't install the OS

MOBO: X99S Gaming 7
CPU: i7-5820k
RAM: 8gb 2x4gb sticks
SSD: Samsung Evo 850 m2
GPU: GTX 770
I'm at my wits end, I can't for the life of me get Windows installed to this machine. I've gotten to the drive chooser for the the Windows installer, but the one time it recognized the drive, it told me it wasn't partitioned correctly and couldn't install.
I'm seriously not sure if it's the mobo or the drive. Any suggestions?
Tried Windows 7/8/8.1/Ubuntu, nothing.

You can simply press the button next to the PS/2 and USB 2.0 ports with the power cord unplugged. Or best way to clear cmos is by taking out the battery (around PCI-E_1 and 3) for more than 5 sec and then put it back, also with the power cord unplugged.
Basically like this:

X99 Gaming 7 RAM DIMM3 and DIMM4 not working

I recently purchased an Intel 5930k which required me to also get an X99 motherboard and DDR 4 RAM. I had to RMA the board because it wouldn't recognize RAM (which worked in other DIMM slots) in DIMM 3 and DIMM4. I found it kind of odd because that means that essentially the board was not responding to channel 3 of my CPU. When I removed the CPU for the RMA, I did not see any bent pins in either the CPU or the LGA 2011-3 socket. I updated the Bios to the release from 2014-11-06.
Here is my list. What do you think I should do while waiting for my new board? A lot of people seem to be having issues with RAM not being identified in this board. I'm worried I'll get the new board and take the hours to set it up again only to find that the BIOS do not support this setup.
X99 Gaming 7
Intel i7 5930k
Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB Kit (4GBx4) DDR4 2400
Corsair H100i water cooler
Gigabyte GTX 970 G1
Coolmax 700 W PSU
Carbide 300R Windowed Case

I received the replacement motherboard, and it was able to read RAM in all 4 channels. After inserting each chip, I booted to ensure that it was recognized. I did my best to boot when adding new components to make sure that they were put in properly. I'm very happy that this board works and would recommend it to others. My takeaway is that sometimes you lose the lottery and get a bad component.

MSI X99S GAMING 7 - slow booting; HDD aren´t recognized in BIOS

Hi,
i´m facing a similar Problem as it is described in "MSI X99A Gaming 7 and Samsung SM951 PCI-e very slow boot time" https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=255919.0
My rig:
- i7 5930k
- X99S Gaming 7 (BIOS h90)
- PALIT GTX 980 Super Jetstream
- OCZ revodrive 3 x2 240 GByte (System disk)
- Corsair Force 3 120 GByte (game disk)
- 2x SAMSUNG HD501LJ 500 GByte (SATA 3GB/s)
- 1 LG Electronics BH16NS40
- 16 GByte Corsair Vengeance LPX schwarz DIMM Kit 16GB, DDR4-2666, CL15-17-17-35 (CMK16GX4M4A2666C15)
- 1000W power supply
- ANTEC P193 case
- G19 Keyboard
- MX518 Mouse.
I assembled it yesterday and during the first booting sequence it restarted 3 times.
After that it took 5 minutes to be on the Windows Desktop. Furthermore I recognized that all the HDDs and the optical drive weren´t available.
I tried to activate them in the Windows System - with no result. Than I checked the BIOS, they weren´t present there.
At the end i checked the HDDs only with the power supply, they booted. As soon as I connect them with the SATA cable they stand still - no spin up hear-able.
Now The BluRay and the HDDs are disconnected, the booting sequence is a Little bit faster (still 3 minutes).
In the BIOS I only activated the XMP-Profile für the RAM and I changed the booting sequence for the REVODRIVE.
May someone has any hint for me, how to deal with this Problem - but as I stated at the very beginning: it sounds similar to me.
Best regards from Austria
Gerald
P.S.: I apologize for "hijacking" - I tried to simplify the Forum by merging similar issues.

Your explanation isn't very helpful.
Your third try you got the Revodrive, corsair, and optical running? Meaning that you could boot multiple times and have it all work correctly?
I hate saying it, but if you aren't going to be descriptive, we aren't going to be very much help.
For what it's worth, I'm starting to think that the Revodrive and the motherboard do not work well together.
Personally, I would also consider contacting MSI directly about the issue. They might be able to issue a new BIOS that improves compatibility.
