If i plug joystick my whole system freezes.I need to unplug joystick and manualy reset so i can get in my system again. I was thinking that this is probably bios problem, cause on my other computer with the same system win7, joystick works normaly. Now the question which im asking is: where can i find detailed description of Bios update, cause on the MSI webpage description of bios is very poor.And i dont wont to flash bios if my joystick problem wouldnt be solved. The system runs great now,exept for joystick.
Thank you for help.

Z87-G45 GAMING and Saitek X52 Pro HOTAS Joystick

With Intel USB 3.0 Extensible Driver that came with CD, the joystick work fine. IF I update using the latest driver (2.5.0.19) from MSI site, PC will either hang/crash or it renders other USB devices such as keyboard or mouse to not functioning. I plugged the joystick to USB2 game port, but also USB3 which have the same issue.

Roll back to the driver that worked and please contact MSI with your findings;

Z87 mpower max and intel 4770k

hi everyone may i know is it worth to enable the oc geniune for my z87 mpower max motherboard? is there any effects if i enable? (motherboard dies faster or something?)
awaiting for your reply.

Overclocking entails essentially to increase the CPU core clock above those that the manufacturer designed it for.
This process entails increasing nominal values which are in essence controls that are part and parcel of the motherboard. After all the motherboard is designed and built in accordance with the CPU manufacturers control specifications. Oc'ing also entails increasing memory speeds beyond the JEDEC standard. Components of the board also have to apply higher values to support the higher power demands of an overclocked CPU. i.e. the Mosfets amongst others.
The OC Genie is a "one stop" method that does it for you (works most of the time) and it takes due consideration of the max design values. In theory it should not affect the durability of the components. In reality it may. You could compare it to a car's engine. The manufacturer has a red line limitation for the engine RPM. Running at or just below the red line should thus be OK. It will probably last a reasonable time if operated that way, but logic tells me that it probably wont last as long as the sam engine being used within its maximum power and torque curve.
The question is, how long do you want your PC to last? With the ever new technology being released, the general user probably renews his PC every 3 to 5 years. So its a matter of deciding if you are prepared to take the risk and hope it lasts for the envisaged lifespan.

Z87 Mpower max and Command center

Hi guys just got a new mpower max and i have the WiFi and Bluetooth installed on the motherboard,Just wondered why i cant access the wireless server part on command center to use my mobile.
Or will this not work on this motherboard it was one of the reasons i got the board.

Oh well got a answer back from msi not what i wanted to here.lol
Dear sir/madam
Thanks for contacting MSI technical support.
Regarding your concern,the WIFI in motherboard is not suit for mobile control,like Mobile Phone.only the motherboard supports WIFI.
Thanks for your cooperation in advance!
Best Regards,
MSI Technical Support Team
I thought on a overclocking board a feature to remotly monitor temps would be a bonus the feature is available on the msi Z87I a £100 motherboard,Bit gutted this was another feature why i went for this board that and the virtual mvp which is not that good lol wish i went for the asus deluxe:))

Z87 MPOWER MAX and 1.35V ram

Does anybody know if this board support low Voltage ram like 1.35V ram?
Best regards.

If you want 32GB RAM on Z87 Mpower Max, here is probably the best choice:
http://www.corsair.com/en/vengeance-32gb-quad-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cmz32gx3m4x1600c10.html
1600MHz, 10-10-10-27 at 1.5V
or
1333MHz, 9-9-9-24 at 1.5V
Tested at 1333MHz (they are very stable).
Depending on your CPU sample, to achieve stability at 1600 you might need to raise some voltages.
Ok i got the whole computer, just need to order ram.I taked some time to realy consider about everything.
My specs now are:
Z87Mpower max
Intel Core i7 4770K (3.50Ghz, 8MB) BOX
[BX80646I74770K]
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 4GB WindForce 3X OC

Corsair Enthusiast Series Modular TX850M 850W
[CP-9020041-EU]
Noctua nh-d14
U recommended 1600mhz ram kit.What about the same kit only it runs on 1866?

Z87 MPOWER MAX and Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E / Extreme

Hello all,
First of all, sorry for my bad English.
As title said, did somebody tested compatibility of these two? I know that mounting-wise they're compatible. My question is will Silver Arrow's (SB-E/Extreme) heatsink "conflict" with that huge heatsink on motherboard? Will it fit?
Please help me. I cannot find any info about this. I own this cooler and want to order this motherboard as soon as I will get answers.
Best regards.

Why do people buy CPU coolers, RAM, cart before the horse, etc., 'then' ask if they will work or fit?
I bought my cooler long ago, I love it and don't wanna let him go :D
Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 09-July-13, 09:07:49
Looks like huskystafford will have an answer for you if it will fit even though it was suggested to him to get a Zalman CNPS9900Max-B which works very well without any hassles of any kind.
Yeah, but looks like I will have answer very soon too, because I've already ordered this mobo and it should be in my hands on thursday-friday.
Regarding alternatives to Silver Arrow.. In my country, the only top air coolers you can get is Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E/Extreme or Noctua NH-D14. With water coolers things being much worse: custom loops is a dream to find in stores. You can find some low-performance, high-noise cheap all-in-one water coolers, but that's not the case for me. There's something really wrong with CPU coolers distribution in my country :(

You need to turn on the Intel graphics hardware in BIOS.

MSI Z87 MPower Max won't start

Hello everyone and sorry to bother you but I don't know what to do anymore.
I bought a MSI Z87 MPower Max and yesterday I tried to start but there is no signal of life. No sounds and no fans. The only signal is the power led on the motherboard.
Another strange thing is when I press to long (about 5 seconds) in the power button the clr_cmos led turn on.
I have already checked the psu cables, if the cpu is corrected placed and with only one stick of RAM in the slot number 2.
I always press the clr_cmos between new tries and this night in take of the motherboard batery and left out over night.
If anyone can help me I will be grateful because I don't know what to do anymore

Kingston 32gb (2400mhz)and z87 mpower max issue?

Hello, i am planing to buy msi z87 mpower max board and i currently have kingston32gb( 8gbx4) hyperX 2400mhz ram .Here is the ram link:http://www.kingston.com/datasheets/KHX24C11T3K4_32X.pdf
when i checked the mainboards list i couldnt see my ram in the compability list.Is that mean they wont work together?thank you

Quote from: RemusM on 13-August-13, 19:26:49
Intel does not guarantee anything above 1600MHz.
32GB DDR3-2400 using the stock settings is impossible on any processor.
So you're going to gamble.
You need to overclock and overvolt the processor.
But it doesn't worth the effort.
The chances to get a long-term stability are very low.
Here is another opinion (from a memory specialist):
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/321476-30-1600-2400-32gb-rive
I sure wouldn't use DDR3-2400 in any density, and never with 8GB/stick density.
The chances of stability are very slim without manually increasing the voltages (DRAM, VCCSA, & PLL) to unacceptable levels.
Not to mention the gains are very small between DDR3-1600 vs DDR3-2400.
High Risk vs Minimal Rewards.
ok i understand intel doesnt gurantee anything above 1600mhz but what i am saying is i was using these rams with my asus mainboard and yes they used to work but not anymore because i damaged my cpu when i try to delided the cpu.So i will get a new i4770k platform and of course i will overclock the cpu.But i really wonder will they work with the z87 msi mpower max ? (these rams are in SABERTOOTH Z87 Motherboard Qualified Vendors List link:http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1150/SABERTOOTH-Z87/SABERTOOTH-Z87_DRAM_QVL.pdf. I dont care which speed @2400 or lower

MSI Z87 MPower Max - Bad board? Failed SATA and B2 problems????

So here's the thing, been having problems with my system, I have a SSD as the boot drive and a RAID 5 array using the intel controller as a Data drive. It started infrequently that occassionally the system would lock up with the HDD LED on solid, Then it became progressively more and more frequently while troubleshooting.
I started out thinking it was the RAID array since after it freezes it would reboot do a verification and find some errors, so I disabled the array and tried running the WD lifeguard on each drive, each one passed a full disk scan. I tried booting the system with 1 or the 3 drives unplugged, still froze so cycled through each drive, froze each time.
Started suspecting the SSD so I cloned the drive onto a mechanical hard drive, still froze.
Unplugged the entire array and just ran the HDD alone..... didn't freeze as frequently but would still freeze.
Swapped out the RAM with good ram... Still froze.
Swapped power supplies with a good supply... Still froze.
Removed all the components except the boot drive, the RAM and the CPU..... stopped freeze up completely, instead I would get microstutters where the system would freeze for .25 to .5 seconds then continue, could tell if you played a audio stream it would keep repeating (Even a buffered stream) did a latency test and interupts were flying like mad and taking a long time to process, with no specific driver or process assigned.
Plugged the RAID array back in and it was working with the microstuttering, while trying to backup data off the array it froze again.
Rebooted the system, bios would die at B2
unplugged the RAID drives, cleared the cmos the system would boot.
Plug back in the raid drives , clear the cmos and it dies at B2.
Took out a hardware RAID controller (LSI 9260) and connected the drives up to that, dies at B2
unplug the controller... Bios boots
Plug in the controller with no drives attached, dies at B2.
Take the controller out, bios boots.
Sometimes the system gets to A2 and the screen shows snowy static
What is also strange is this occurs on both bios's.... the primary bios which I have flashed to 1.5 and the backup bios which I had left at 1.1 as a fail safe and never flashed.
Thoughts?

Hi
Almost same story happened to me.
I have now 2 pieces of Z87 MPOWER boards and both have the same issues.
1. Board came with BIOS 1.5. I left BIOS B to 1.5 and flashed BIOS A to 1.7 with MFLASH method. I installed W8.1 on my onto my SAMSUNG SSD and the PC was working for 2 or 3 days.
Then I noticed strange behavior while booting. The SSD was not found sometimes. I hit F11 and the list was full of USB pen drive entries. Then I entered the BIOS and I have seen only two menu entries: Security and one more I don't remember. Inside of the menu items it was empty or some chinese letters. So I thought the Bios was currupted. Due to missing MFLASH menu I couldn't flash the bios via MFLASH, so I had to study the German MSI Forum. Then I prepared the USB pendrive with ABUDE method and I brought back BIOS A alive. Fine, I thought: It can happen but it shouldn't. But the boot problems came back....
2. The second board came and had BIOS 1.4 installed and I didn't touch board #1 anymore . So I flashed BIOS A again to 1.7 and you know already what's coming up. Totally the same story which I had with board #1.
I switched back to BIOS B and no problems at all with booting.
After a while I noticed some BSODs because of Killer EThernet driver (bwcW8x64.sys). I had so serious problems with that driver. The problem is: If the driver fails, you are even unable to go to the internet and look for a new driver, because your ethernet is dead. Very funny, but not for me. I got the drivers from antother PC and I tried to install them. During installation it was fine. The card was working, but I was forced to do a reboot. After the reboot, the ethernet card was disabled because windows coudn't load the driver. OK, that's a windows issue or a poor driver. I tried several times. No chance to get ethernet back alive. Finally I disabled the Killer Ethernetboad and plugged my former Intel Gigabit ET Dual Port Sever Adapter in. I thought, now I get rid of all the problems. Ha ha...
First was everything fine. Then the PC didn't want to boot anymore: BIOS message --> B2.
I hit del key: "Entering setup" message came up. Nothing more. Several times. Dead.
I plugged out the Intel ethernetboard. Bios came up. I put the ethernet board to another PCI slot. 2 days of working. later on, same story.
Then I switched back to BIOS B and no problems at all.
So what's up here with my 2 MPOWER boards, showing the same issues with BIOS 1.7? What I did wrong?
- MFLASH? May be. But I don't use it anymore. I use the MSIHQ USB Flashing Tool from this forum now which was also spread in the German forum.
- I never flashed BIOS beta versions, I always red articals how to flash and I think I did nothing wrong here.
- Overclocking? No. Unfortunatelly I bought an Intel i4770 CPU without K. Funny. So no overclock issues at all.
- Memory? I have fully equipped 32GB (G.Skill F3-2400C10Q-32GTX) and did the MEM86+ test successfully.
Day before yesterday I flashed BIOS 1.6 to BIOS A. All looks good until now. The intel ethernet board behaves well. No B2 messages.
I will further comment as soon there is anything new.
Do we have some issues with BIOS 1.7? I strongly belief....
I have seen BIOS V1.81 beta is out. But where is V1.8 official release? Anyway, I am tired of testing. If I do not have issues with 1.6 then I will use it.
Unfortunately the MSI Z87 MPOWER board is not yet widely spread. Otherwise we would have more user experiences.
Ok, any comments are highly appreciate it.
@ Corellon: Sometime I got A2 messages with black screen with BIOS V1.7
Which bios version had you installed when you experienced severe problems?
I guess V1.5 & V1.6 are save. 1.7 has got problems.

PCI-e wireless card causes lock ups Z87 MPower MAX

I've already asked this question once, but was part of an epic essay that I've decided to break down into smaller more manageable chunks (as unsurprisingly that one got no replies).
I've got an ASUS PCE-A66 wireless ac pci-e card. Had absolutely no issues with it in my old Z77 board, but I seem to be having a lot of issues with it in my new Z87 MPower MAX. System was locking up like mad when I was trying to install the drivers at first. Had to rip out the WiFi/Bluetooth/WiDi module to get the drivers installed but the system randomly hangs on boot up? Don't get the issues with the card unplugged and don't always get it with it plugged in, but there seems to be some form of conflict with it that I can't resolve. Has anyone else had any such issues with any PCI-e add in cards on this motherboard?
Specs are:
i7 4770k
MSI MPower MAX using .128 bios (will try the .131 later)
2x4GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 2400
Coolermaster Silent Pro Hybrid 1050w
EVGA NVidia GTX 780 SC ACX
Windows 8 Pro 64bit

Yes, old system was Win8 Pro 64 bit too and the drivers are Windows 8 certified. As I say though, I had no issues with it on the old build? Even got a replacement sent out by Amazon in case the card itself was damaged Did initially try to do a warm update of the hardware into the same OS installation but didn't play well so did a full re-install in the end. Tried standard and UEFI installs (just in case) and after a problem with my OCZ Vector 2 not being recognised I bought a new Samsung 840 Pro so was a virgin SSD installed on to as well.
I'll raise it directly with MSI but just wanted to know if anyone else had experienced anything similar with any wireless cards in this mobo.
Cheers for the reply though

Z87 Mpower Max Wifi Problem

Hey!
So I recently built this new PC:
CPU: I7 4770k || GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 770 Gaming 4GB || Mobo: MSI Z87 MPOWER MAX || RAM: Crucial DDR3 BallistiX Sport 2x 8GB || SSD: Samsung 840 PRO Series 256GB || Chassi: Cooler Master HAF XM Midi Tower || CPU-cooler: Noctua NH-D14 || PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 720W || OS: Windows 7 Ultimate || HDD: WD Desktop Green 2 TB | SAMSUNG SpinPoint 160 GB | HITACHI 250 GB
I'm happy with everything except the Wifi connection... I've been googling and searching on forums without any help so now I'm hoping someone know how to fix this problem...
I got a low connection to the router and it's terribly slow (the router is a WNR2000v2 but I've never had problems with it earlier and I get the same result with other routers). Basically, I get about 20Mbit/s with cable and the wifi from my laptop (HP ProBook 6560b with "Broadcom 4313 802.11b/g/n ") and the laptop can stand right next to my desktop PC and get 5/5 in connection vs MSI Mpower Max Wifi (Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 2230) which only get 3/5 in the same distance. I've tried all kinds of placements for the antennas without and improvement. BUT, my problem is that instead of getting 20Mbit/s I only get up to 5Mbit/s. Now... I run the latest drivers from MSI's Mpower Max webpage and I run the latest BIOS (Version E7815IMS V1.3), but I cannot find a solution.
Thanks in advance...
Sincerely,
Dexter
(Excuse my poor English)

I think you should go through some Windows settings. Also try to configure router (this might be the problem).

MSI Z87 Mpower MAX Internet Issue

Hello guys!
About a week ago Ive got the MSI z87 Mpower MAX for my new build.
However, I had some stranges issues with my internet rooter. He restart almost every hour, aleatory!!!!! Only with this pc (I have another one and it works fine)
So, I changed the rooter for a brand new one, and the same problem persist, only with the mpower max... Its not always, but 7-10 times in day my rooter restart if its plugged on my mobo.
Idk where start to solve this...
Im using the Windows 8 Pro version, with Avira Internet Security.
Can anyone help me? :(

I deleted your double post. Don't try again with multiple topics on your issue: >>Please read and comply with the Forum Rules.<<
Also it is obviously impossible to help you with just the board model and the info that you have an "issue"... Add full specs and proper description of the issue: Follow >>Posting Guide<<
