X99s sli plus Mac address 88-88-88-88-87-88

Hey all,
I just built a new pc for work with a brand new msi x99S sli plus mobo.  It works great but i have a small problem, I have to installed licensed software which requires a valid mac address for my provider to give me a license.  My mac is 88-88-88-88-87-88 which does not work.  Is there any way to change so that it is thoe one on the mobo sticker?
Thanks

  • Random shutdowns X99S SLI Plus, ms-7885

    Hello,
    I'm trying to narrow down some random shutdowns. These seemed to be completely random and could happen with the computer idling. The computer just shutdowns and reboots. Nothing in the log, no BSOD. I have tried to trigger the problem by running CPU and GPU stresstests without success.
    Until wither 3 came out. With witcher 3 the problem is 100% reproducible. Start witcher 3 => shutdown.
    I can play other games for hours without any problems.
    Can someone give a hint on how to find the problem?

    Some updates...
    Tried to run with only two memory sticks, no problem with that. Even if I switch one it works. But with three it crashes after I exit witcher 3. Wierd since I can play the game without problem.
    Ran some memtests one only one stick in. Only got errors in the "hammer test" which I guess is ok.
    Put all four memories in again and ran memtest over the night. It ran one pass and after that the comp shut down and rebooted.
    Downclocked memory to 1333 and ran 4 passes memtest without any crash. Some hammer test errors only.
    I'm now trying to run at 2200 and it seems fine. I can play witcher and exit without any crash.
    Is it the memory or the MB? Or just a bad combo?

  • 4-pin CPU-PWR connector on x99s SLI Plus

    I'm attempting to install a Kraken x-61 cooler into my Corsair 780T case and the MSI X99S SLI Plus mobo.  One step says:
    Connect the 3-pin power cable from the pump to the 4-pin CPU-PWR connector on the motherboard.
    In the MSI x99S SLI Plus mobo and the manual (En-6) I can't find anything called CPU-PWR.  The 3-pin power cable fits into the 4-pin CPUFAN1 connector, but I don't know if that's the correct connection.  Could someone tell me where the CPU-PWR connector is on the MSI X99S SLI Plus motherboard?

    it can be confusing to start with but you get used to it once you have done it a few times!
    so yes connect it to the fan header for CPU as that line has a sense pin that will detect if your pump fails and will shut the computer off to prevent the CPU overheating to stop it breaking the processor! just take your time and anything your not sure of feel free to ask us!

  • X99S SLI Plus losing drive connectivity

    My new X99S SLI Plus is losing connectivity to drives in SATA ports 5 & 6 (the two Sata Express ports).  They are ADATA SSDs.  The Intel RAID controller is in RAID mode, and I was trying to get 4 of these drives on ports 3-6 into a RAID5 array. 
    At first, the controller wouldn't even see the last two drives.  I've flashed to latest BIOS and latest Intel drivers and now it sees the drives, but the array constantly goes into rebuild.
    Any suggestions?
    Thx!
    --Ashmite

    Hello,
    Did you try to change other cable to test? What does BIOS show under Settings--System Status, you see 2 of your SSD or all of them can be detected?

  • X99 Sli Plus WHEA 17 Errors.....Again

    So I decided to go back to MSI and bought my second X99 Sli Plus board. Thinking that by installing the latest bios (5 revisions since I had the first X99 Sli Plus) that of the kinks would be worked out. Sure enough after updating everything and reinstalling all of the newest drivers. WHEA logger 17 errors are once again flooding my System logs.
    Is there a fix for this?
    I went to an x99 Asus board for a while, and had no issues. After searching around, both Evga and Asrock have fixed this with Bios's.
    Please for the love of god someone tell me how to make this stop other than disabling event viewer. It's annoying to no end.

    Hi I have the same whea logger 17 issue again and again on my MSI X99 SLI PLUS!
    I have the latest nvidia installed, the bios is the version 1.8, the graphic card is galax gtx 980 SOC (factory overcolocked).
    For now I found a solution which is not a real solution. If you force from the bios PCI-E to GEN2 (in place of auto or GEN3, that is PCI-E 3.0), the whea logger errors suddenly disappear.
    That's why I think the problem is a bios problem. Maybe next bios update must be focused on solving the issue. It's like we are not able to run gen 3 cards in this way.
    Please MSI fix this issue in the next bios update!!!!
    (or If somebody know how to solve this issue in a different way please help us out)

  • X99 SLI PLUS VT-d

    Hi,
    Was wondering if anyone knows if the X99S SLI PLUS motherboard and its BIOS supports VT-d?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Newest motherboards support pretty much everything, as long as the CPU allows for it. So check spec of the CPU you want to buy and it should tell you whats supported.
    Though for 2011-3 I guess its supported even with cheapest CPU available for it

  • Can 1st and 3rd slots of X99S SLI Plus be used for SLI?

    Can I use the 1st and 3rd full size PCI slots for SLI on the MSI Global X99S SLI PLUS mobo?
    Specs:
    * i7-5960X, intend to OC
    * Corsair H100i cooling
    * Corsair AX860i pu
    * 32gig 2400 DDR4
    * Samsung XP941 256GB Ultra M.2 PCIe
    * 2x Gigabyte GTX 970 Gaming, intend to OC
    I'd like to not put the 970's on top of each other when there's so much extra space - will i get PCIx16 if I use the 1st and 3rd full size slots? Any downside at all?

    yeah its a shame, makes for a bad design if using sli on air imho, one card runs 20-25c hotter than the other :(
    if I had known of this design problem i would have gone for a different board :(
    can't understand MSI's reason for this?
    not looking forward to the summer heat coming, might have to try water cooling (if there is room) but even that looks a tight fit?
    has anyone run wwater cooling on the MSI GTX970 Gaming on these boards?

  • MSI x99 SLI Plus Unstable

    I just finished building my new PC with the following specs:
    MSI x99 SLI Plus
    I7-5820K
    16GB Corsair LPX 2666-15 Ram
    Evga GTX 980 SC
    Evga G2 SN 850W
    I have been experiencing system instability. I updated the bios to the  latest 1.3 firmware. XMP Profile 1 enabled.
    My PC randomly freezes unable to recognize keyboard or mouse inputs. I must hard reset at which time it reboots normally.
    I ran Memtest86+ & it returned 8 errors during the first pass on test 6. Memtest86+ would also freeze during testing. I subsequently ran Windows Memory Test for 10 passes with no errors or freezes. I ran Memtest86 with all 12 logical cores in parallel for 25 passes with no errors or freezes. I reran Memtest86+ and have not been able to replicate the errors or freezing.
    Today the PC froze & rebooted on its own. It was as if the power was being tripped as it would die turn on die turn on and then finally booted to a blank screen. The strangest part was that the on-board motherboard reset wouldn't work. I pressed the switch and nothing happened. I was able to reset the PC via the front panel switch. When the PC rebooted it displayed an error message about an overclock instability. I HAVE NEVER OVERCLOCKED the CPU! The only change to the bios was enabling XMP. The problem is very random and intermittent. Is it the Motherboard or RAM?

    I upgraded my PC  a month ago with this bundle
    http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-023-OG&groupid=2833&catid=2512
    which has the same MB/CPU combo and have been experiencing similar problems regarding stability. I've updated the BIOS to 1.3 and have run the Windows memory test without error.
    I've tried several OC methods - the Overclockers UK setting, OC Genie and my own modest OC which involved just changing the CPU ratio to 38.
    The Overclockers OC has never run successfully while the other two seem to run for one session OK but when I switch off then restart I get the 'Overclock instability' message.
    It seems to run OK at the default setting though booting up can sometimes be problematic with it freezing intermittently at the MSI Logo page or at the Windows screen just before the animated logo starts.
    Resetting then either solves the problem or produces the Windows error screen and selecting  'Start Windows normally' solves the problem.
    BIOS B which I have never updated seems to run without issue.
    I'm reaching the conclusion that this MB is inherently unstable at anything other than default settings.

  • Starting BIOS first time after build with X99S Sli plus

    Is there a tutorial for the basic BIOS set up for this mobo?  I want to just set the computer to boot up tfrom my ssd.  Is there anything else I have to do in BIOS  before I load Windows 8.1?  I don't want to get into overclocking, just the basics.  Should I try to connect the computer to the internet right after I change the boot drive priority in BIOS? I'm thinking automatic updates to the BIOS via The Web.

  • MSI X99 SLI Plus - Won't Post

    I've got:
    Motherboard: MSI X99 SLI Plus
    Processor: Intel Core i7-5820K
    Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR4-2400
    Power Supply: EVGA 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX
    It's a new build and I can't get it to post. When I try to turn it on, a red LED located next to the 24 pin ATX power connector comes on and will not go off until I cut the power at the Power Supply. I can't find anything online concerning the red LED. Is it some overvoltage protection? An issue with the memory? I'm at a loss trying to diagnose this. Please see the images below:

    Hello.
    I'm having the exact same issue.
    My computer was running with no issues for over 1 month and today when i tried to start it this exact issue happened.
    The lights on the rest of the motherboard are working (CMOS, Power, OC Genie) but it won't post.
    I have tried to reset the CMOS, re-seated and tried various configurations for the RAM, tried both BIOS and OC Genie on and off and the issue remains.
    Could this be a PSU issue? If so, would the remaining lights work?
    Anyone else had this issue and how did you fix it?
    Thank you in advance!

  • Build question about the MOBO msi x99s sli Plus

    I just started to build a new computer for the first time.  I have two questions (at this point, anyway) which I hope someone can answer.
    1.  When I attached the mobo to my new case (Corsair 760T) with the screws that came with the case, I noticed the middle riser is not like the other preinstalled risers.  It's more like a centering post.  I watched tutorials that said as much, but what I'd like to know is: Does that center post just stay as is?  Because unlike the other 8 risers, there's nothing for a screw to go into for the center post.  The mobo seems to be positioned correctly, but I'd like to know if that center post just stays as is.
    2.  My other question has to do with installing my new Kraken X-61  cooler over the cpu.  In several tutorials I've watched, it was stated to remove the back plate on the mobo behind the cpu and replace it with the plastic backplate that comes with the Kraken X61. cooler.  But when I look at the backplate behind the cpu on the MSI X99S SLI Plus mobo, there isn't any bolts to remove.  I also  noticed that the plastic backplate that came with the Kraken X-61 when adjusted to its widest dimensions, lines up with the socket on the top side of the MOBO where the Kraken X-61 heatsink gets connected with thumb screws iinto the socket on the MOBO.  Can I use the socket that's already on the MOBO?  If no, how do I take off the back plate on the bottom of the MOBO?
    Hopefully you will understand what I am asking.

    Thanks for responding.  I used the wrong term for the backplate in one sentence, calling it a bracket.  I meant plastic backplate.  But no matter, I got it installed.  You gave me a lot of relief, because there is no step-by-step directions with parts from four different manufacturers, so for a first-time builder with practically no technical know-how, it's not easy to know what to do.  Once done, I realized how simple it was, though.  The bracket on the Kraken x61 was already set and attached to the pump.  I just slipped it over the posts I installed for my socket type, and affixed it with the thumb screws.
    Thanks again

  • MSI X99 SLI Plus won't power up

    Hi, here is what I got:
    Motherboard: MSI X99 SLI Plus
    Processor: Intel Core i7-5820K
    Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 series 64GB (8 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2800
    Power Supply: CORSAIR RM Series RM1000 1000W ATX12V v2.31
    GPU: ZOTAC ZT-90101-10P GeForce GTX 970 4GB 256-Bit DDR5
    The symptom detail is this:
    1.If I power on (either through power button on case or MB) for the first time, only the fan that connected to PSU directly will spin for half of second. And then it stop and system is total slient.
    2.After that if no matter how many time I push the power button nothing happen.
    3.If I clear the CMOS and try power up, then step 1 happen.
    4.The only thing that lit-up in MB is the built-in power button
    Here is what my system look like
    So far I have try to switch out different GPU and switch around the RAM stick but still does nothing. Any suggest will be very helpful tome. Thank you.

    Take it all out the case and inspect the board for any visual defects.
    Place it on non-conductive surface (wood, cardboard, NOT antistatic bags) and test with one stick of RAM (try different odd numbered slots) and VGA card. Make sure all power connecters are well connected.
    Next step, test with another PSU if you have one.
    Check CPU socket for bent pins, either with magnifying glass or you can take clear macro photos with good light and inspect them.
    Best not to install anything in the case until you made sure it's working, at least the main pats (CPU RAM VGA) and main hard drive, it's nearly no overhead and saves a lot of time when turns out bad.

  • MSI X99S SLI PLUS boot error A2

    I upgraded my PC two weeks ago with the  MSI X99S SLI PLUS, an i7 5820, an M.2 SATA SSD and 16Gb of DDR4
    I have no problem booting up with the second BIOS (B) but booting into the primary BIOS (A) goes as follows:
    Codes 99, 0C, B4, 9c and A2 appear in sequence at which point it freezes
    I reset and it goes through the above but gets to the MSI screen where again it freezes (pressing DEL or F11 on the menu screen has no effect)
    Reset again and it gets to the Windows screen and freezes before the animated logo starts.
     'A' BIOS is updated to 1.2 and uses the Overclockers UK 3.8 overclock profile
    'B' BIOS is at stock (1.0 and 3.3GHz)
    I did get BIOS A to work for 2 days but after shutting down the PC it failed to boot the next time I switched it on (nothing had been changed either software or hardware).
    I understand that A2 indicates a SATA error but I don't understand why BIOS 'B' works OK if that is the case. Surely a hardware error would cause both BIOS to fail.
    I haven't yet tried clearing the CMOS as presumably that would delete the Overclockers UK overclock profile. But should that be my next step?
    I should mention that under 'Devices and Printers' there is an error indicated at 'PCI bus 0, device 17, function 0' - 'The drivers for this unidentified device are not installed. (Code 28)' Running the Update failed to find a driver for this device (whatever it might be)
    The only PCI device that I have attached is the GPU (GTX680OC) which has the latest driver installed.

    Regarding Profile that OC has made for you: I believe BIOS is same/similar to Z87/Z97 and you can save profile to USB. But in addition I would just use pen+paper and write down all the OC info they have change (i.e. voltages, RAM timings etc) to be able to revert this if you would clear CMOS.
    Also if you could specify more accurately what speeds are RAM currently at, and what is their "stock" speeds sold as (e.g "I have 4x4 Corsair 1600MHz but I run them @1866MHz).
    What is the GPU make? MSI/ASUS/EVGA? I suggest you contact this brand regarding possible vBIOS update.
    Try using BIOS A while having only Keyboard and Mouse attached. So other USB devices disconnected.
    You can safely clear CMOS of B since there's no profile on it right? >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
    Also I would contact OC'ers since it's their responsibility to make sure OC profile is stable and safe. Apparently they are meant to test the system for stability. And ask if in case you lose your OC profile, if they will be able to provide info (or BIOS saved file) so you can get it back.
    Is this whole system made by them, or you have added something (e.g. SSD or M2 drive) ?

  • Msi x99 sli plus issues

    Hi, i have a problem with usb 3.0 and the ethernet of the motherboard, not work properly...i resinstall windows and the problem persist. If i tried to put a mouse or keyboard on any of the usb 3.0. Not function. And the ethernet in windows, tell me that could not work properly...dont take the driver.
    If i put an pcie ethernet works fine. But de integrated not.

    I dont now how i fixed...
    Any suggestions.
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi
    Try to install drivers located on this website:
    http://uk.msi.com/support/mb/X99S-SLI-PLUS.html#down-driver
    Make sure to pick correct operating system.
    Which exactly USB port do not work?
    Also, does device manager show any errors? Like here:
    Within device manager you can try to run "Scan for hardware changes" (or something like this) and see if that helps.

  • MSI X99 Sli Plus can't boot Quad Channel

    Hello,
    some days ago i bought my new x99 Sli Plus.
    I installed everything, right now it's running with a 5820k and 2x4 Gskill 2400 Mhz ddr4.
    The main problem is that the system can boot only with 2x4 Block in the DIMM 1 and DIMM 5 position.
    If i try to use all my DDR4 modules ( actually 4x4) the system wont boot.
    I put in triple channel (3x4GB ) in DIMM 1-3-5 and in quad channel (4x4GB) in DIMM 1-3-5-7
    No Signal and no boot image.
    I've tried some Corsair DDR4 running at 2666.
    Same problem.
    It only boots in dual channel on DIMM1 and 5.
    that's how i insert the modules.
    Thanks for the reply.

    Hi,
    Is my understanding towards your post correct: your system boots only in Dual Channel, but also only when using slots 1&5?
    Try each slot individually with only 1 RAM stick.
    Check around the CPU socket and RAM DIMMs looking for any colour changes, smell, scratches or anything like that. If you find nothing, then my last suggestion is you check the CPU socket looking for bent pins (make sure to use magnifying glass and bright light).
    As additional,possible, solution:
    There was someone with pretty similar issue. From my understanding, what they did is that for every time they've inserted a SINGLE stick, they went to BIOS settings, saved and shut down to insert another one (saved just to make sure BIOS/motherboard recognised the RAM stick inserted).
    So my suggestion for now is:
    Go to BIOS as with 2 sticks.
    Manually change timings to: 15-15-15-35, 1.2V (check box of the RAM to make sure what they are, but according to GSkill that's timings used for 2400MHz DDR4)
    Save and Shut Down.
    Insert 1 stick (to appropriate slot). Try to boot.
    If boots, go into BIOS, check that timings remained unchanged, save and shut down. Do the same for 4th stick.
    If you find nothing, and nothing works, I suggest you contact the seller.
