XMP Profile with H87 G43 Gaming

Hi, I just purchased Mainboard H87 G43 Gaming for my new rig.
I just notice that my Corsair RAM ( CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 2x4GB DDR3 Timing 9-9-9-24 ) is not run its full potential.
It should can run at 1600Mhz. Instead it just run at 1333Mhz as default.
After that I decided to enable XMP from BIOS. But my CPU will not boot if I enable it.
Fyi, I just enable XMP without touching other options in BIOS and I have experience in enabling XMP with the same RAM sticks in another board without problem.
I already update BIOS using version B4 and B3. But still no success :(
Please refer to the screen capture for the setting in BIOS :
Do I miss something?

Disable XMP, set DRAM Frequency manual out of Auto to 1600, set DRAM V. to 1.565v's or so, if need be, set Dram Timing Mode to Link, set timings manual CR 1, 9 9 9 24. That should do it.
Thanks for the response.
I just test each RAM stick and found out that 1 of it is faulty.
Its a bit strange that 1 month ago it worked great in my old Mainboard.
Anyway, I just RMA the RAM sticks and get the new one. now works perfectly

MSI H87-G43 Gaming
Question
1.Is "VGA Boost" feature = overclocking?
2.Can MSI VGA Boost feature work with other brand graphics card? or it only work with MSI Graphics card ?
3.If I only play games with out overclocking which board should i buy for worthiness? MSI H87-G43 Gaming or MSI H87-G43
Thank you

Yes, although just a little oc.

2.Can MSI VGA Boost feature work with other brand graphics card? or it only work with MSI Graphics card ?
Only with MSI vgas of the Gaming series (= even other MSI vgas won't work)

3.If I only play games with out overclocking which board should i buy for worthiness? MSI H87-G43 Gaming or MSI H87-G43
Choose what you like. Both are H87 boards hence no cpu oc possible anyway. VGA boost is not really worth buying a board for. The Gaming board features other extras like Killer LAN and enhanced onboard sound.

H87-G43 Gaming and i5 4570 max turbo on cores

hello all.
Iam trying since yesterday to max my turbo mode @ all cpu cores via bios. I did put enchance turbo on auto/enable and i also tried to put manual x36 in each cpu multi. Every time the cores went up to 3.4 . I have read that with old bios it is possible to push all cores @ maximum turbo speed on H87-G43. My bios version is v11.0 . If anyone could help me out i will be very happy.
Thanks and nice to meeting you all

You have a 4570? Not the 4570K?
Only Z87 boards can overclock.
Early H87 BIOS versions could overclock but only with K CPUs. Those BIOS versions were update with a new microcode from Intel to fix a loophole in the B and Hseries boards.
If you had a K series CPU and you were prepared to flash a BIOS pre August 2013, then you had a chance of doing this. Even then there would have been no guarantee.
If you wanted to be certain of OC'ing, you should have opted for the Z board and K CPU.
Here you can find the official Intel high level differences between the chipsets. http://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Z87-H87-H81-Q87-Q85-B85-What-is-the-difference-473/

R9 270x Gaming 2G with B84-G43 Gaming Black Screen running win 8.1

Hi,
My system was win 7, upgrade to win 8.1 clean install with AMD Catalyst™ 14.4 for a day then problem occur the same way which many are having "Black Screen" even restart in normal mode but not to Safe Mode.
so i decide to downgrade the system to win 7 clean install, with no display driver install/update "Microsoft Standard VGA Graphic Adapter" in high resolution the system work fine but not with MSI Graphics Driver 13.101, "Black Screen' occur during driver installation detecting VGA card.
which i believe got to be some bios malfunction during the upgrading OS & Driver. by following here i attach the link below as technical details for assistance in advance for this troubleshooting.
here is the picture for the S/N

and
here is the current vbios version

*(Sorry, you are not allowed to post external links.)
Thanks.

even i tried it on downgrade and upgrade motherboard bios for both OS by getting a clean/clear default setting.
by using these method, clean OS installation with each of these driver "AMD Catalyst™ 14.4, MSI Graphics Driver 13.101, and the older link by previous post" and on-board vga as main display output;
OS win7 as a result the MSI Graphics driver both version successfully install, process for reboot after the installation of the driver and log into desktop "Black Screen" meanwhile the AMD Catalyst™ 14.4 "Black Screen" during the installation of detecting VGA card.
on the other side of;
OS win8.1 as a result three of these three driver "Screen Freeze" during the installation driver process of detecting VGA card even mouse pointer can't move. picture as link below capture using smartphone;

Slow power on b4 seeing MSI logo (MSI Z87-G43 GAMING)

My question is, why it takes up to 10 seconds to power on before seeing the MSI logo.
My rig boots in Windows 8.1 Pro UEFI mode with RAID, see summary of rig below.
When booting it sometimes takes up to 10 seconds for the MSI screen to appear, the one with the MSI logo. Once the MSI logo appears the boot is fast, usually between 6 to 8 seconds.

MSI Z77A-G43 GAMING with CORSAIR Vengeance Pro CMY8GX3M2A1866C9

HI,
I need to know please if i can use this ram kit ?
if yes, can i get the max ram freq (1866MHz) by enableing xmp in bios ?
cpu: I5 3550 Ivy bridge
thanx

XMP will not be found under CPU support. Its not a CPU function. Its a pre-defined memory SPD profile that can be used by board manufacturers as a BIOS feature. A sort of a one-stop shop to apply a certain overclocked memory condition.
The RAM manufacturer will have predefined JEDEC SPD profiles programmed onto a EEPROM chip on the mem module. If its overclocked memory, then additional XMP profile/s may be added. This XMP profile can be applied by enabling the XMP feature in the BIOS. This enabling of the XMP then tries to apply the pre-programmed profile to the CPU memory controller. The mem controller may or may not work at this desired XMP setting. It saves you the effort of setting the overclocked mem profile manually.
With Ivy bridge CPUs the mem controller can apply 1600 as default. Anything above that is not guaranteed.
Thus if you have memory with a XMP 1600 profile, then its most probably 1333 memory with an overclocked XMP profile of 1600.
XMP also will only become visible in the BIOS if the memory actually has a XMP profile.
If your memory has a 1866 XMP profile, then that will be applied to the IMC, or at least an attempt will be made. The IMC may or may not work at that OC'ed mem setting. Further tweaking maybe needed, i.e. increased voltage to stabilise. Experience though shows that most of the memory controllers on Ivy will not have a problem with 1866.

Z87-G43 GAMING with Killer E2205, interrupted internet connection

Motherboard Z87-G43 GAMING with Killer E2205 Gigabit LAN controller
I am using the latest Killer Network Driver (driver only) 8.1.0.23, from MSI website.
The issue:
Occasionally my internet is interrupted and my network card needs to be disabled and re-enabled again to re-establish internet connection.
I am quite certain that it is the network card or driver fault. The logic of this is that other users in my home connected to the same ISP modem has uninterrupted internet connection, while my interruption is happening. Also, as soon as I have disabled and enabled in “Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections”, the internet connection is back up. The process of disabling and enabling takes less than a few seconds.
My internet connection is automatically connected through the modem, I do not dial from my computer.
This problem has occurred ever since I got the motherboard, however it hasn’t really bothered me that much until now.
I recently started playing Counter-Strike Global Offensive, and for those of you who plays CS:GO, also knows that it is not cool to have interrupted internet connection during a competitive match.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
Thanks

try a different network cable, different router port, try reset your router and/or load its default config and/or update it firmware

Z87-G43 Gaming - Random rebooting & strange CPU temps

Howdy.
Since building this system I've been having constant problems with system reboots. It seems completely random, but I've had a few this morning which is unusual (and I hope; unique!). It can be doing anything, or even nothing, for days and suddenly the power goes completely for a few seconds (I'm almost certain it isn't the power supply itself dropping, other things plugged into the same surge protector are still running).
When it returns windows log just shows Error 6008, with no other information. It happens infrequently enough for me to think I've cured it by doing something suddenly to get a surprise again. Things I've tried:
Re-installing OS (several times!).
Changing/stopping startup programs and services
Unplugging USB devices (for a while I honestly thought it was an iPhone cable! There seemed to be some correlation between it being plugged in and not plugged in. Not so).
Updating BIOS
Using Microsoft drivers instead of MSI supplied drivers (went back to MSI)
Using the Qualcomm Athero drivers for LAN instead of Killer
Monitoring CPU temps (see below!)
Tuning BIOS
etc, etc.
It is really frustrating, there is very little evidence to point towards one thing. It can go a week without rebooting, including lots of heavy gaming, and then I'll be doing something non-CPU intensive (i.e. browsing, or typing) and it suddenly restarts, then maybe another later that day, then another two days later, then nothing for a week again. Arggg! The one thing I have noticed, is that it rarely, if ever, goes down when doing something very CPU/GPU intensive, so I doubt it is thermal or that the PSU isn't coping.
Having said that, this morning has been a bit unusual, it has restarted more than ever (3 times I think, maybe more when I wasn't sat in front of it, I haven't checked the logs). The last time I fired up openhardwaremonitor and it reports something really odd, it says one core is running at nearly 125c and another is running at -35c . Speed fan is also showing these temps (but not Core temp, which shows them as being around 30c on each core). I totally understand that this is a misreading/bug, but it makes me wonder if the OS or motherboard is also misreading these temperatures and cutting the power supply?
I have found others with the same problem with the same motherboard (although to be fair, I was searching for the problem with the motherboard specified). Anybody else seeing these problems with this motherboard? Any suggestions?
Any help would be very much appreciated, and I thank you in advance.

Every other time (apart from today) it is instant, like a reset, this morning when it went off I honestly thought it had died, but it came back about 30 seconds later.
TBH; I'd rather it had died! I know it sounds like strange logic, but at least I could have tested individual components and found out exactly what was wrong and had it replaced while still fairly new.
Event Viewer is just full of: Error 6008 "The previous system shutdown at <time> on ‎<date> was unexpected" (logged when it comes back, nothing significant before the reboot).

Should Enhanced Turbo still work on H87-G43 for non-k i7-4770?

Having a similar issue to the one described here ( https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=172887.msg1258722#msg1258722 ) but this is on a H87-G43 with a non-k i7-4770. The feature used to work fine with all 4 cores going to 3.9 GHz on turbo but, with the stock cooler that I was using, thermal throttling became an issue on high workloads (e.g. AIDA64 stress test, handbrake, etc.).
So, I disabled Enhanced Turbo and I ordered a Hyper 212 Evo which I only recently installed. I turned Enhanced Turbo back on but now it seems that Enhanced Turbo is offering nothing extra over normal turbo with the 4 cores only hitting 3.7 GHz under load and not the 3.9 GHz that they used to reach. Hardware is the same (except the cooler, which has no effect) so I presume that it must be BIOS-related.
I'm running latest v2.5 BIOS for the board and have changed the Core Ratio Limits manually to value of 39 but still no joy. Does anyone else have this issue on H87-G43 with a non-k i7-4770? Can anyone confirm that the feature is working for them with a non-k i7-4770 (or any non-k CPU) on a H87-G43 with this latest v2.5 BIOS?

Ok, so I've done numerous BIOS flashes and here's what I have found:
Rather like the user in this topic ( https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=172887.msg1258722#msg1258722 ), I found that the Enhanced Turbo worked correctly on the H87-G43 and i7-4770 with default Auto settings up to BIOS v2.3 (2013-06-07). The clock multiplier was set to 39 allowing turbo operation at 3.9 GHz on all cores.
With the introduction of BIOS v2.4 (2013-08-16), again similar to the other user, it is necessary to manually set the 1/2/3/4-Core Ratio Limit values (found in the CPU Features sub-menu of the OC Menu) to the value of 39 in order to allow turbo operation at 3.9 GHz on all cores.
Using BIOS v2.5 (2013-09-23), no matter what settings, it does not seem possible to allow turbo operation at 3.9 GHz on all cores with an i7-4770. It would seem the feature has either been accidentally or deliberately disabled in this latest BIOS. I'll raise it directly in a support ticket to MSI and in the meantime I will stay on BIOS v2.4 which is the most recent BIOS that allows me to get the most out of my CPU and new cooler.
Thanks again to xmad for his help and advice. Hopefully this post will save time and effort for other users with similar issues.

MSI Dragon on a Budget - B75A-G43 Gaming

If you are tight on your budget and MSI “Z77A-GD65 Gaming” is out of the picture. Try instead MSI’s more affordable Dragon line – “B75A-G43 Gaming” motherboard.
The board uses the Intel Chipset B75 Solution which actually is for Small Business Computing. With this, users can enjoy the “Small Business Advantage” Software Package which enhances the security and the productivity of your PC. Below are the said softwares:

Aside from this two, Sound Blaster Cinema makes the Audio quality top notch.

MSI B85-G43 GAMING. Almost without audio

Hi guys !
I just bought a motherboard model B85-G43 GAMING. And I almost have no audio =(
I tried:
- Install the driver that came with the CD;
- Downloaded and installed the latest driver from the MSI website;
- Downloaded and installed drivers from realtek website.
Nothing works... I'm desperate ! I can't find a solution... PLEASE, if anyone could give me a hands up.
Really appreciate !

What would exactly be "RMA the mobo"?
it means to send the board back to reseller or msi for repair/replacement

have you checked mixer settings, volume control?
what audio you've played? maybe the volume is low from the player?
have you tried to re-plug the speakers jacks to ensure its filled all the way to the audio ports?
have you tried a different speakers set?
