Z77A-G43 OC 4.3 with power saving work, thanks xmad

Z77A-G43 OC 4.3 with power saving work , Thanks xmad
Goes up @ 4.3GHz on full load, then come down to 1.6GHz idle( perfect)  try with prime95 about a hour, temperature when up to 71c then between 58-65c
Set all to auto, then enter the cpu features.
Set the power levels short / long to 255 and the power duration to 2 seconds.
Then increase the turbo speed there to w/er you wish 4.2-4.5 are typical everyday overclock settings.
( OK mine if i'm not mistaking it's 1-core ratio limit [43] ,
2-core ratio limit [43] , 3-core ratio limit [43] 4-core ratio limit [43]
Pic attached
Other settings needed.
Vdroop: 75-100% ( NOT available on mine)
Pll : enabled
Overspeed protection: Disabled
Enhanced Turbo: Enabled
Ok now i'm experimenting a little bit, i try 44 for ratio but crash after prime 95 working
Should i adjust vcore small step at a time?
or other setting?  thanks

Ow hi guys
I just found this while I've been searching and reading up on overclocking and I was wondering if you guys can just help me out? I will continue to read up and learn more, but is it possible to kind of give me a step by step of what to do with this exact board & Bios?
I also have the Z77A-G43 OC & i7-3770k and from the looks of the reading I want to get to 4.4ghz
I've read the posts and see the pics, but where should I start & what exactly should I all change before starting up windows & running prime etc
Any help would be appreciated aimed at a beginner like me would help Overclocking is just something I'm really learning about now.
TY
Mine is running At 4.3GHz with auto vcore, with Antec water cooler 920 no issue so far..
On reboot, click delete to enter bios then do same setting has me but with Vcore auto, save and reboot, in window under click center , check your clock speed under load, it will give your i7-3770k stable clock zone..
Look in here, the last one  https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162043.0
If you don't mind to try overclock genie first in the bios, I sure would like to know if it does anything for you, cause mine it's only capable to OC Genie the GPU only, . I wrote to company about it but no reply yet..
But  it might be a cheap board but you can still overclock it anyway..

  • Overclock with power saving states

    Hi
    3770K + MSI Z77A-GD55
    I had previously a Gigabyte board and I could overclock my cpu and still enter power saving states automatically lowering multiplier and voltage. But with this MSI board it seems I can only get full OC frequency (4.5Ghz) or I could go with no OC and use turboboost to 3.9Ghz. Is it possible to have 4.5Ghz overclock and also automatic power saving states that lower the multiplier and voltage? Eg 16x-45x multi
    I think I have all the power saving options enabled in bios.
    Thank you in advance

    I got it running correctly now. Liveupdate installed some outdated bios. Installed manually the newest and now I have turbo multiplier settings for each core in clickbios.
    I'll be honest, personally, I would stay away from Live Update.
    Nothing against MSI's utility, but I can't tell you how many times we've dealt with issues related to MSI Live Update causing the problem.
    Better to do it yourself.

  • Z77A-G43 (MS-7758) problem with Win x64 install

    Hello,
    Motherboard is Z77A-G43 (MS-7758) latest bios v2.7.
    I would like to install Windows x64 on 3TB GPT disk.
    In accordance with the product description "3TB+ Infinity is not only breaking through the limit of traditional BIOS, but also enhancing the utilization of hard drives efficiently. In addition to supporting the latest 3TB hard drives, MSI 3TB+ Infinity technology can use the 3TB hard drive as boot disk when installing a 64-bit operating system. Compared to competitors, MSI 3TB+ Infinity is an industry-leading technology which substantially presents an advantage of development and application in the future."
    HDD is ST3000VX000-9YW166 connected as SATA AHCI. The device is recognized by the bios.
    To make sure that I use EFI, I boot with EFI shell and run BOOTx64.EFI from Windows install disk. I select the ST disk. It has one system partition of size about 128mg, the rest of the disk is unallocated. When I attempt to install Windows on the ST disk, I get the message "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu."
    What should I do to make Windows install on this disk?
    Thanks.

    Did you turn Infinity on?
    I believe Infinity is always on. At least I don't see such an option in bios.

  • WRT610N with power saving spin down hard drive

    Hi,
    Has anyone used the WRT610N with a storage drive that auto spins down?  I find the router works fine accessing the HDD until left idle when the HDD spins down.  The next time I try to access the HDD and of course there's a lag as the drive spins back up, I get some type of freezing, usually the USB light on the router turns off, the HDD light stays on and the router loses connection the HDD.
    Any help here???
    Also, despite gigabit ethernet and 802.11n speeds, I get around 2 Mb/s speeds to the USB storage port.  A little slow no???
    Yes, I have the latest firmware.

    Connect your HDD directly to a computer and check if you face the same problem, I think there is a problem with your HDD...

  • Z77A-G43 cant access BIOS with USB keyboard

    Hello guys,
    I`ve been running into a bit of trouble.
    It seems that I can no longer access the UEFI / BIOS menu at boot time by means of DEL key.
    Even though my USB keyboard is powered and lighten up, the motherboard won`t take input from it. I can`t use ANY of the keys (DEL, Pause, F11 ..) until OS is done booting.
    On the other hand, and old PS/2 keyboard apparently works just fine.
    Now, I did tried the usual steps for troubleshooting: reset bios, then update to the latest version (2.12) / clear CMOS, etc.
    So far, no luck.
    Whats boggles me is that I know FOR SURE that the keyboard used to work some time ago. I mean, it`s  the only one I have and I know I used it to set up the BIOS when I initially put the PC together.
    Any further advice will be most welcomed.
    Thanks.

    Thats it man, turn it off and it will work. The same happened to me, now I can acces it without any problems.

    hi,I bought this video card but now I began to twitch screen sometimes when switching video card power saving modes
    it all happens in a game, or at the sites but not on the desktop
    how to disable power saving mode so that it always runs at maximum frequency?

    2. Tried installing the cd version of the AMD drivers same problem.
    3. Installed the latest version of the driver, as well as, beta version same problem.
    4. Removed the graphics card and put it back in booted up, same problem.

  • Three beeps when booting new computer with MSI Z77A-G43 Mobo

    I just built this pc and pressed the power button. Nothing happens for a few seconds and then I hear 3 beeps from the PC speaker. It powers off by itself and opens again, with 3 beeps again, and repeats this until i press the power button to close it down forcefully.

    3 beeps is a memory failure!
    try each stick in slot 2 individually as you may possibly have a bad stick?
    if the first suggestion doesn't work remove the CPU and check the socket as you may have a bent pin in there causing the issue?

  • Z77a-g43 and power save mode

    All parts are new.
    ASUS gf gtx 560 ti dcII top, corsair 8 gb memory, intel core i5-3570K, 3,4GHZ soc 1155, corsair 600w, msi Z77A-G43 Intel Z77 1155 ATX
    Everything was running just fine for one hour. Loaded windows 7 /64 and some servicepack. Then suddenly I got the "power save mode". I´ve tried a different graphic-card with the same result. Took out the bios battery but that didnt hlp. Then tried another corsair 600w but no... The comp. starts, but with a black screen. No usb is working. Tried the blue vga on the motherboard but still a black screen. No beep.
    So, what to do? Buy a nother mb?

    Here are some other ideas:
    1.) repeat the process with a single stick of ram try each stick / try different dimms to see 1 stick is fault or a dimm is faulty.
    2.) Remove and re-seat the cpu, while the cpu is out, check the pins for damage.
    3.) Remove the mobo from the case and check for foreign objects shorting it out, while it is out, build the computer on a non-conductive surface with 1 stick of ram, cpu, cooler and psu and test.
    Pay careful attention to extra stand offs under the motherboard.

  • Z77a-G43 with I7 2600K no Video

    I have been pulling my hair out, I recently purchased a new Z77a-g43 mother board and an I7 2600K processor. Everything posts fine and I installed win7 64bit and installed the drivers, but when it reboots it starts loading windows and then just shuts down. I have narrowed it down to the on board video driver. If I uinstall it then the system works fine. When I try to re-install the video driver and reboot then it then shutts off while booting. So if I press the F8 key and boot back in to the last known good time it boots up with the standard vga driver. For specifics, I am running 16gig of DDR3 Patriot Sector 5, with the mb and processor and 2 2TB Hitachi drives.
    The bios on the board was 2.2e which is not even list on the website yet. Hopefully this is just a bios issue and will be fixxed in the future.

    Looking at it with live update it show 2.22 as the current version on the board installed right now. I can't check remotely what is reported in the bios, but on the board I returned, it reported it has 2.22e . The one available online was reported as 2.22 . I backed up the 2.22e then reverted or assumed it was reverting to the 2.22 without any change. I returned the board thinking it was bad, only to have the new board do the same thing. On the new board, I did not check the bios version from the bios as I did with the other. MSI Liveupdate is reporting 2.22 current.
    I do have the 2.22e backed up though. Maybe this was a beta released fw.

  • Black screen at boot MSI Z77A-G43 with HD7850

    I've tried everything You suggested in this topic. I've upgrade and downgrade bios (official 2.3, 2.4, 2.8, 2,9 / beta 256, 281,296) few times but still is black screen at boot. Now i'm on the newest beta bios 296 and still same issue on Sapphire HD 7850 with my Z77a-G43 board. I know for sure that sapphire working well because I've checked on other mobo with even worst PSU (400W instead 550W Volcano). Before hd 7850 I had gtx460 and swith those few times and always gtx460 works fine, so I don't understand anything right now.
    Tried different slots, also clear cmos.

    Do you see the same problem on bios 2.90?
    The Z77A-G43 seems the have difficulties accepting HD7xxx AMD VGA cards lately.
    It seems that the problem is gone. I thought of it being an ATI driver issue ~ but not even the latest didn't fix it. But since I flashed to BIOS 2.9 I haven't encountered the problem anymore. So I believe something is fixed between 2.3 to 2.9.
    However my problem was a bit different that the OP has.
    Oh, and I said this on other thread so I say it here too: MSI and Asus 7xxx cards haven't faced the kind of issues Sapphires are having. I'm so glad to my choice... as I almost picked Sapphire but then read comments on Newegg which weren't in favor for Sapphire.

  • MOVED: P55 does not support power saving technologies with OC?

    I heard that when EIST, C1E is working, then the voltage is lower then 1v on 9x mode.
    Since your OC'ing, Spread Spectrum should be disabled. Your particular CPU (whatever one it is), may require more than 1V. at 9X. The only power saving feature I usually use when OC'd is EIST, with C1E & C-State disabled. See how it does in that configuration. If you don't get any BSOD's or other problems, CPU V. on Auto should be fine.

  • Msi bing bang 2 power saving with overclocking

    i just found out that the mobo doesnt have the vcore offset function which was how i overclocked my last chip last year. How can you overclock and keep power saving functions? is it possible? i will have a 4930k will it mean i can only change the multiplier if i want power saving features?

    Many prefer the 'Turbo' (Core Ratio in 'CPU Features' sub section) OC method over the CPU Ratio. To keep power saving, OC on CPU V. of Auto, get what you can out of it with VDroop set to 100%.

  • MOVED: Z77A-G43 no SpeedStep with manually set multiplier

    This topic has been moved to Overclocking, Undervolting.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165305.0

    I was told that Z77A-G43 should be just fine for my needs. Couple years ago I bought high end MB and it was a mistake, they are putting there so many useless stuff for which I need to pay ... (like firewire which I never used).
    Z77A-G43 is fine for me but I was not aware before buying about all of its limitations. It is quite ok now when I figured out in UEFI where the needed options are hidden. Probably on better board I would be able to get from 200 to 400 Mhz more from CPU but to do that I would need to take off the IHS and pay almost 2 times more for the motherboard. (and pay for useless stuff like two quick PCIE ports (I am not planning to have a SLI/Crossfire), dozens of SATA ports etc.) If there were good board in decent price I would bought it but I do not need a motherboard for a homemade datacenter
    Regarding Lucid earlier I had Abit (also the lower end) and I am not used to be virtually limited by having minimazed bios options or lack of software support. Of course this was different vendor with different business approach.
    Asus cheap boards like P8B75-M have support for Virtu MVP ... so it's doable and affordable but MSI wants to have an argument over selling more expensive boards. Now I totally get their marketing strategy.
    Thank you all for help, this topic can be closed.

  • Overclocking Z77A-G43 with i5 3570k, stuck @ 38x

    Hi guys,
    First, my configuration:
    Intel Core i5 3570K - Unlocked version
    MSI Z77A-G43 (BIOS v. 2D)
    GSKILL DDR3 1600 Mhz
    Windows 8.1
    Since 2 days, I flashed my bios and now I have a unsolved problem.
    Before it, my O/C was at 4,3 Ghz (100 x 43). Thus, MSI Live Update showed me a update (v. 2D) for my BIOS (MSI Z77A-G43 aka 7758) and I flashed it.
    After the first boot, Windows crashed with a BSoD and I went to BIOS. But now, I can't adjust CPU ratio as well, only 38x maximum whereas before 16 to 61. So I look up into this forum and can't find solutions. I have made energy savings changes, Clear CMOS and more, but nothing working.
    I note that "Core Ratio Limit" option disappear of my BIOS ...
    I downgrade to my former version v. 2.6 and more (2.7, 2.8, 2.A ...) and hope that everything was back to order but ... No.
    I don't know what to do, if someone has a idea ... Thank you in advance for your answers

    After 2 or 3 BIOS flashing, downloading of 2D version and installing Intel ME Driver 2 times (Both MSI's and Intel's Servers), I hope it will be a success and it's nice !
    Honestly, thank for you answer, you make me feel happy not to blast my mainboard because of a bad upgrade ^^.
    Thank so much for your help.  Sea Dog
