X99S Mpower + I7-5930K Vcore Voltages?

Hey guys,
Been working on getting this system stable for the past week on my bench. For the most part I have had success, minus a few issues with DOA video cards.
I am curious as to what my Vcore voltages should be on this system, currently in HWinfo64 my Vcore voltage ranges from a min of 0.008v to max of 0.216v (load). This number seems low to me! When I run OCCT, VIN7, VIN8 and VIN9 are all well below 1 volt, is this normal?
I have had some weird intermittent issues with some random crashes and sometimes Win8 won't boot properly (Black screen and keyboard loses power). However, I can run Prime95 and FurMark (4K resolution) at the same time while surfing the internet and not have a single issue. I suspect that my power supply may be taking a dump, which is entirely possible as it is well over 3-4 years old and I used to push it pretty hard.
System:
Windows 8.1
I7-5930K
MSI X99S Mpower
MSI GTX 980 OCV1 x2
Crucial 256gb M.2
32GB G.skill DDR4-2400
Corsair TX850V2

Okay will do.
I just want to recap the issue and include a new one:
1. Vcore on HWinfo64 reads from 0.008V to 0.216V. VIN7, VIN8 and VIN9 on OCCT read as low as 0.01V when idle. (I will post photos tonight.)
2. Windows 8.1 hangs on boot after the blue window logo loads, keyboard and mouse lose power. (This happens occasionally, 1 out of 4 restarts)
3. Using memory kit F4-2400C15Q-32GRR, even when set to 2133Mhz Windows will only recognize 20.9GB to 28.9GB. Ran memtest and found no faults.
I own a Thermaltake DR. Power II and I checked the PSU, all voltages are normal.
NOTE: I am currently NOT using J_PWR3 (4-pin EPS12V) only the J_PWR2 8-Pin EPS12V. I am under the assumption after speaking with MSI technical support that the additional 4-pin J_PWR3 is for overclocking only and is not required for normal operation only J_PWR2 8-pin is required. If this is wrong and it IS needed for normal operation someone please correct me!

  • Problems with MSI X99S MPower

    My setup:
    - Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100i GTX
    - Corsair RM850 850W 80 Plus Gold Modular
    - G.Skill Ripjaws 4 DDR4 2133 PC4-17000 16GB 2x8GB CL15 Roja
    - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 OC 3GB GDDR5
    - Intel Core i7-5930K 3.5Ghz Box
    - MSI X99S Mpower
    Here is my problem so far:
    At first I thought it might be a ram problem, but after doing a CDOS, I was able to boot with 4 RAM sticks to windows, using my SSD.
    However, after I resetted and connected my other two HDDs, the computer doesn't boot.
    Now, the computer will only get past the Boot phase if there's no hardrives attached, (Doesn't matter if it's one of the empty ones, or the SSD, or another HDD from another computer with windows in it that works)
    I wont even get into the splashscreen!
    I am unsure as to what might be causing this problem or how to solve it, I am not tech savy, and honestly, after the problems last computer gave me, I thought my bad luck was out and than building this one would be a breeze!
    I suspect the MOBO might be defective, since it's weird that it gets past bootphase alright, but doesn't accept any SATA devices.
    I tried to change the cable 3 times, (PSU one, and SATA cable) even to a different version that didn't come with the MOBO, I also tried two hardrives, an SSD and an HDD but neither will let me get to splashscreen if connected to the Motherboard.
    I need all the help I can get! Thank you!

  • MSI x99s MPower: who is selling it?

    I guess the subject says it all.  I'm looking online but can't find the x99s Mpower for sale anywhere.  Any ideas if, when, and where it is for sale?

    Yeah, I got my eye on this one two.  I already own a Haswell based system so I don't need to upgrade now.  But, my nephew is wanting to buy the guts of my system (motherboard, memory, CPU) to replace the older components in his system.  He knows he can get the stuff from me relatively cheap.   
    If I can talk him into waiting after the new year starts so these motherboards can get BIOS and driver updates, then I may purchase a Haswell-E/x99 system. A 2011-3 based system with the i7-5930k CPU would last a LONG  time thanks to 3.5 Ghz speed and six cores.
    The MSI x99s Mpower board uses an Intel NIC (I hate the killer NIC, what a joke...) and has multi-BIOS.  If this board is priced right, it could be the x99 board to get, IMO.
    I know MSI sells the x99s xPower AC which is the big brother to this board.  I would like to have wireless networking, but it's just priced way to high for a feature I hardly ever use.  If the Mpower is a priced high for my tastes, I'll settle on the x99s SLI Plus, if I go with MSI that is.
    I'll just keep a look out for this board then and look for reviews.
    Thanks a bunch!

  • X99S MPOWER Very slow to POST

    Just built a system for a friend who supplied all the parts.
    X99S MPOWER
    Intel I7 CPU
    16Gb GSKILL RAM
    240Gb SSD
    MSI GTX 970 GAMING Twin Frozr V 4GB
    Windows 7 HP
    The machine takes an age to POST. I have to wait for up to one minute before the MSI splash screen appears. After then the machine boots to Windows without problems and is stable in use. NO overclocking settings have been set and the bare minimum of BIOS settings have been applied.
    As the machine is starting I see some changing letters and numbers appear at the bottom right of the monitor.
    Can anyone help diagnose this very slow POST behaviour? or is this a trait of this particular motherboard?

  • MSI X99S MPOWER won't boot (Debug 00) after installing Transcend 256 M.2 SSD

    Hey all, as the subject suggests I bought a new MSI X99S Mpower mobo. I put together a new system with it without any problems using my old SSD. I received a new M.2 SSD (Transcend 256 GB) once I installed it the system would no longer boot. I removed the M.2 SSD and the unit will now still not boot. I power on and the LED just displays 00.

    what bios version you are using?
    can you list the exact M.2 SSD (Transcend 256 GB)  mode/part number?

  • Question about Vcore Voltage with 2400XP

    Hi i have been to amd site and looked up what VCore Voltage i should run my processor at and it says 1.65v and the FSB at 133MHz
    The think is the default in the bios is 1.800 and the computer works fine when bios set at "AUTO" for this.
    I changed it to 1.65v and computer will get to just before the windows logo comes up and restarts.
    If i put the FSB at 100Mhz the computer boots up fine.
    Any Ideas on why i cannot run the computer at full speed with the recommended VCore voltage of 1.65v

  • X99S MPOWER and 780 Lightning 2-way SLI

    Hi,
    After more than 4 years I'm thinking of replacing my beloved i7 930 @4.2GHz and MSI X58A-GD65 with a i7 5820K and a MSI X99S MPOWER.
    However, I currently own a MSI GTX 780 Lightning and it is my intention to get a second one to go SLI, so I am a bit concerned regarding the spacing of the PCI-E 3.0 slots on the latter motherboard.
    According to the mainboard manual, tha I downloaded, the X99S MPOWER only supports 2-way SLI on the slots named PCI_E1 and PCI_E3 slots, which are spaced 2 slot apart. Given that a 780 Lightning basically covers 3 slots, the configuration recommended by the manual is unusable. What I would need instead is to use the slots named PCI_E1 and PCI_E5 in the manual, which are spaced 4 slots apart.
    Would that be possible???
    I cannot believe that MSI has designed an enthusiast-oriented board that cannot be used with a 2-way SLI configuration based on their flagship nVidia graphics card... so, please, tell me it's not true!
    P.s. I have checked the X99S XPOWER manual and with that board I would be able to set up the 2-way SLI the way I need, but it costs almost £100 more than the X99S MPOWER...

    The layout of X99S Mpower is indeed quite bad. If using recommended slots PCI_E1 and PCI_E3 for 2-way SLI thermal issues are a sure thing for the upper card if it fits at all as there is just one slot in between. Still you can use the 2nd card in PCI_E5 without a problem (if SLI bridge is long enough and can cover three slots). This will just change the lane setup what is irrelevant in your case. Your 5820K just offers 28 lanes anyway so 2nd card would be at x8 in any case. The only difference when running in PCI_E1 and PCI_E3 would be that first card stays at x16 in 2 way SLI but that's irrelevant if 2nd card is at x8 none the less. Using PCI_E1 and PCI_E5 both are running at X8. That's would be the maximum possible on a socket 1150 board and SLI works fine in this config. For the nvidia driver the populated slots are not relevant for enabling SLI, both slots just need to run at x8 minimum.

  • VCore Voltage problems

    Hello, again...
    I've been silent for a while(after I had to RMA board once to MSI and got new one back), just being happy my machine works. But now, after a while, I just wanted to try to get my CPU to a bit more faster settings.
    Problem is, I can't get beyond 253 FSB without raising VCore voltage from 1.6 -> 1.7. When VCore is at 1.6, CPU-Z and BIOS Health monitor shows it is nicely near 1.6 volts. But when I raise VCore voltage from BIOS to 1.7 it starts to jump between 1.8 - 1.9, both BIOS and CPU-Z shows same behaviour. It wont drop below 1.8, so it's like I did set VCore to 1.8, but I didn't. I did check..
    Now, of course, I could run it at 1.8, but it is a bit too much for my liking, I would like to use 1.7 volts setting. Does anyone else have this same problem?
    Is this BIOS problem or what? I dunno, and I do remeber that my last board(which broke) did the same thing.
    Thanks.

    Hi Lamy. 253 is nothing to complain about. I assume you are at a 5:4 ratio since your ram is only DDR400, which means you are at it's max rating. At that degree of overclock you are probably overloading your power supply at times. Have you tried dropping to a 3:2 ratio to see if the ram is the problem.
    ryede, I'm getting tired of threats from people planning on switching motherboards. Read the rules - there are no MSI rep's here; we are all users. You have one post to your credit with minimal information supplied, and to top it all you are trying to hijack someone elses post. Besides, exceeding 250 FSB is an accomplishment that few achieve.

  • P55M-GD45 Vcore Voltage Help

    I've read the sticky, I know about pg up/pg dn and the +/- keys.
    My problem is that I can't manually set the vcore voltage in the Cell Menu. It says Auto (greyed out) and when I do pgup I can increase the voltage up to about +.303, but it doesn't allow me to manually set the voltage, nor undervolt it.
    I've updated the BIOS to 1.8, but still no luck.
    If anyone has any suggestions, please help.

    Quote
    I honestly wish the mobo had manual vcore control.
    Well, it does.  You said so yourself:
    Quote
    "Cpu Voltage" it is either Auto (Grey) or increasing the voltage in increments.
    Quote
    I didn't increase it +.303, I was only specifying the limit of what it would allow me to change.
    To be honest, I fail to see the problem you are having with the voltage.  That means that either I am terribly misunderstanding what you are trying to say or that you are misunderstanding the way the voltage settings work. 
    Can you please try to elaborate what exactly it is you are trying to do with the system?  It is irrelevant at this point, what the system will be used for.  What is of importance is what clock speeds you are trying to run the system with, what exact settings result in an unstable system and which settings have been working for you.  Within a certain clock speed range from the default settings, increasing the core voltage of the processor may not even be necessary.  It all depends on what you are actually aiming for.
    In terms of current system settings, you have not really told us much so far:

    Failed OCCT during a 2hr test.
    Under what operating conditions? Base Clock Speed?  Memory clock speed?  Memory voltage?  Memory timings (post CPU-Z screenshots [SPD & Memory]? CPU Voltage [as shown by CPU-Z]? Other Cell Menu Settings you modified? etc.

  • Vcore voltage

    Ok just curious, what should the voltage on my vcore be?
    i think it's set at 1.5 but speedfan shows the low at 1.39 the high at 1.44 and the average at 1.41.  This is after several restarts and I'm not gaming at the moment.  Might this cause instability?

    Alrighty,  I just downloaded Speedfan 4.16 and ran a test on my system to see what results I get.
    I have:
    K8N Neo2 Plat
    Athlon 3500+
    Ballistix PC 4000
    Antec True 550
    Yadda, Yadda, Yadda....
    In my bios, I set my vcore voltage for 1.60 volts (slightly over default), yet Speenfan reports it as 1.49 - 1.52 volts ---- with cool n quiet disabled
    So it would appear your Speedfan readings would be right on par with what would be the standard default voltage for your CPU (considering the slight error reported by Speedfan)

  • Vcore Voltage setting

    Hello everyone. I recently had a failed overclocking. I set the BIOS setting according to another user on  another
    forum with similar setup. Only thing is I didn't set the Vcore voltage on my board as it is greyed out not letting me
    make adjustments. Why is that. other users are adjusting theirs some kind of way. I have the X58 Platinum
    which was brand new when I built the PC. 3 OCZ 2gb three channel memory dimms,Vista 64 bit, Intel i7 920.
    Anybody care to share a guide to overclocking this board successfully. Tryin to see at least 3.67 or 3.99Ghz.
    Well 3.67 for now.  Also guys watch those Radeon 4870 graphic boards. Seems that the double start up issues
    I was having after I built my computer was due to a defective graphics card. Just so happens when I went
    to pick my PC back up from doing a diagnostic at Microcenter another customer in line had the exact graphic
    board and his did not work for him either. Both versions were from Diamond.

    Bios 'Set Up' page 3-3. Use your keyboard arrow keys & number pad +/- keys.

  • New PC on MSI X99S Mpower frezzes

    Hi,
    My brand new PC assembled on MSI X99S Mpower board is randomly freezing very often. Sometimes 5 minutes after start and sometimes after few hours. Even when CPU is not in stress (only internet browser launched). It's freezing when it's overclocked and on default settings. I've tried to remove one RAM memory and replace to another but it's still freezing. I am really confused because I can't figure it out what is the source of a problem.

  • Vcore voltage problem.

    How come it doesn't post evertime i raise up the vcore voltage. But when i press the reset button it post up fine. It only happen when i power up the computer. I have a MSI 850 pro5 mb | 512 rdram | 550 antec ps | g4 ti 4400. This doesnt make any sense, and I'm not even overclocking it. I try everthing, even update the bios. I think msi board suck. Assaf please help :]

    I did try to overclock, but im trying to say it does the same thing even i dont try to overclock. I have a watercool system and i want to overclock it some more. Its just that it bother me when it does that.

    First I don't think you or anyone should put up with having only 3 channel memory when they paid for 4. If the board or CPU are faulty they should be replaced.
    You can start with MemTest86 or MemTest86+. MemTest86 has multi CPU test option that is more real life like, I don't know about MemTest86+, haven't used it for quite long time.
    Before using Prime95, make sure you have CPU/Core temperature monitoring software  such as RealTemp, Core Temp, HWiNFO, or CPUID HWMonitor.
    Prime95, I assume th 64-bit version, but this create a lot of heat, what cooler do you have?
    You can choose to run 6 threads instead of 12, it should be stressfull enough, also you can add the line Code: [Select]
    CpuSupportsFMA3=0 to local.txt to disable FMA3 instructions that are more stressful on the CPU but not necessarily on memory.
    If it is still too hot (>70c) add Code: [Select]
    CpuSupportsAVX=0Do not close the window to stop the test, select exit from the file menu.
    Or you can try OCCT which is all-in-one, stress + monitoring in one program. Select Large Data Set to stress memory. It also runs somewhat cooler than Prime95.
    trust me i agree i talked to msi support and got no help they just kept telling me they know about the issuse and should have a fix for it soon, But yet i have seen many people say they have the same problem over 5 months now.......  So i just talked to amazon and they said no problem they will give me a refund so now i need to find a good board to work with my i7 5820k 2011-3 pcu

  • Msi X99 MPOWER SATA problem

    Hi There
    I Have Build a system including Msi X99 MPOWER, intel i7 5820k, corsair hydro h100i, Corsair AXi860, 2x8 gb kit crucial ballistic sport ddr4 2400, Samsung 840 evo 250gb.
    The system post normaly and i can access bios if nothing is connected to sata ports. As soon as i connect a hard disk or a dvd player the motherboard won't post and i have the a led error code "00". The next step was to update bios to version 22.3 with a usb which was successful but the problem remains. I have tried to clear cmos, different sata cables, sata hard drives,  memory sticks and power supply but the problem remains. Is there a possibility to fix this with an future bios update or should i RMA it?
    Regards Dounis

    Hi there
    "have you tried to take mainboard out of PC case and to place it over non conductive surface?"
    It didn't make any difference taking the motherboard out of the PC Case.
    "Which SATA port did you use to plug the HDD and DVD?"
    Initially i tried 1st and 2nd SATA port but i also tried the rest of them.
    "you cannot see the device even under bios setuP?"
    ok There are two cases
    1st Case No SATA disks connected.
    I switch on the power supply and press power button of the motherboard, the system post normally and i can access bios if nothing is connected to SATA ports,
    2nd Case WITH SATA disks Connected
    I switch on the power supply and press power button i get "error code 00" the motherboard won't post.
    Then if i press the power button to shutdown and then power on again then the system post normally and it recognize the hard disk and DVD and i can install windows. It seems that the sata controllers cannot initialize the first time the motherboard is powered up by the power supply
    regards
