1. I am still on BIOS version 17.4 and which one is (for now) reconmended?
The E7751IMS.H53 version ?

17.4 is the latest official, you can use the latest beta H:57 if you feel the need to, these H:5* beta's will more than likely be included in the next official release 17.5 in the near future.

2. Is the BCLK settings anywhere in the BIOS?
For some reason I can not find it. Although you can do that by "ControlCenter", but that isn't picking up the BIOS settings. It keeps on been set on 100.5 and I like 100.3 more.

BCLK is on the first page of the BIOS screen. MSI as well as other manufacturers default the BCLK slightly higher on some boards, this gives a slight advantage over the competitors, especially when they are reviewed on various websites.

CPU Base Frequency needs to be retyped as 10000, this will then set the Bus Speed to exactly 100.0 MHz in CPU-Z, it will keep as this all the time then, unless you load defaults.

3. Is the "beta h54" been pulled back?

Just not updated the list in a while that's all, I usually try keep tabs on a weekly basis.

One question, im sure it will but will my Corsair H50 fit this board OK?

Will fit fine, no problem.

 

[Nelly]

Thank you so much for the great answers and taking time for them.

"CPU Base Frequency needs to be retyped as 10000" : How do I have to see that, is it to have 100.3, to type is as "10030"? I just want to get it right, thank you.

No problem. Yep you would think it would be showing as 10050 on default, just type 10030, and it will show up as 100.3 in CPU-Z, or if you want exactly, 100.0 retype 10000.

I've not tried overclocking with the BCLK - I need to get some new RAM - will probally get some Kingston 8GB (2 x 4GB) HyperX Predator 2400MHz - seen some dirt cheap, or similar G.Skill Trident, might have a go when I get around to it, I'm still using the MPower at the moment, got a Gigabyte Z77X-UP5 TH to play around with at some point.

 

[Nelly]

Do you know, if I am going to flash it to the newest beta, that I can load my saved OC Profile from my USB drive? Or should I re-set everything?

It should work fine, I've not tried with this board, but on the MSI Z68A-GD65 (G3) if I updated the BIOS, and loaded from USB my settings it would usually work, give it a go.

As far as planning to get new RAM, look for the quad kits from G.Skill. Mine is in the signature and it was actually cheap for a C9 quadkit. I had it on 2400Mhz with no issues or you can set them on 10-10-10-30.

I'll need to get some by Friday, will have a good look at those, thanks.

(Ps: I returned my Gigabyte, as you can't use the USB on the backplate(VIA USB chip). That bothered me to much and went for the MSI MPower)

I had some issue with my UD5H updating BIOS, found out I wasn't formatting the USB stick to FAT32. lol

 

[Nelly]

Ok, it went to 100.33, via the latest CPU-Z here http://valid.canardpc.com/2581679 I tried to get the RAM on 2400 Mhz @1.72v, but 'he' didn't ike it
But I don't understand the "Auto", "Linked" or "Unlinked" part of that.

I just had to double check, but if you use [Auto] it will just set Jedec, something like 1333 MHz @ 9-9-9-24, then if you click enable XMP it will set to your actual spec of your RAM.

If you click [Link] then you can manually set your RAM to whatever you wish for overclocking etc. Don't bother with [Unlink], because you will have to set each channel for each RAM slot manually.

Again, you are very helpful and I thank you for that. Hopefully I can post some results soon, to help out people here, on the forums.

Maybe we could share some saved profiles. Sad, that you can't download them from the MSI Support site. Although it is very tricky and risky*.

*Someone could have the VCore set to 5volts to troll

Check this on page 2 of this thread, my settings for 4.8GHz on a 2500K >> http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=22950351&postcount=55

I've got quite a good 2500K, so depending on CPU it might not be stable with those settings, I'll post some more settings using a different method probally tomorrow.

I've still got a 3570K, which I haven't even opened yet, will wait for new ram, and possibly new cooler, then will do more clocking with that.

You have changed you post, but what I was saying with the Gigabyte motherboard; I have a case with only two front USB headers so meaning that I use my keyboard and mouse in front and it was full. Basicly, when I had to enter the BIOS, I always had to change the cords arround and my PC is in a, some kind of a closet(air'd). I was within 8 days to return it so I picked up the MPower. I have been a fan for Gigabyte for over 15 years and for Gigabyte to pick VIA for USB, sound and limitations, I switched to MSI.

What keyboard was you using? Is it something fairly new? I use a basic Logitech Elite Keyboard from 2002! lol, never had any issues with any motherboard with it, with the latest keyboards, sometimes the motherboard manufacturers need to know so they can update BIOS to pick them up for going into UEFI BIOS.

You could try a 'USB to PS/2 Adapter', that would possibly fix the issue. Otherwise, for anyone with a very latest Keyboard, buy a basic keyboard for a few £ - will probally do the trick.

OcUK don't sell them, but if you check that well known famous auction site, or the place that sounds similar to a jungle lol, they cost about £1

hey folks was wondering if you could help shed some light on a small issue i'm having. have got all the latest drivers installed for this board that are availabe for win8 but in device manager i've got an unknown device UB93, any ideas what this is??? have let windows search for new drivers and reinstalled most drivers already.

1st time post from Canada

Had that same issue when installed this board

I forget which item solved it but maybe load the driver cd and see if it tags it/picks it up, try update driver button and point it to cd

Or alternately have windows search for the driver online
I had a heck of time but finally it loaded up and was okay wish I could remember exactly what driver of file it was

Hi Tyreman, welcome to the forum, have you installed the Intel Smart Connect Technology driver? It could possibly be this, have a check and let me know.

You can actually disable this in the BIOS, I don't personally use it. More info here >> http://www.intel.com/support/services/smartconnect/sb/CS-033108.htm

 

[Nelly]

I looked in the start menu and programs........don't show it but will look some more

EDIT: I looked in bios/cmos and have it disabled too.

2nd Edit: Found Intel Management Engine Components, 20.47 mb/ version 8.1.10.1300

My board doesn't show clockdown with msi control but does go down by real temp to 2700's odd.
thought they should do from 16x to my multiplier of 45x

Have you looked on the first page of this post. I have up to date driver list on there, better than the ones found on the MSI CD >> http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18441627

It could be possibly the Atheros Bluetooth, Wifi Driver's - if you don't use these, you can also disable these in the BIOS to.

Check with the latest CPU-Z, see if it's clocking down on that, I'm guessing you have these set for power saving features, if not set them as follows:

EIST = [Enabled]
Eup 2013 = [Disabled]
CPU Phase Control = [Auto]
C1E Support = [Enabled]
Intel C-State = [Disabled]

 

[Nelly]

Voltage only went up to 1.285 during test so I think it is sorted now.

Nice, when clocking using auto volts, what is your CPU Core Vdroop Offset set at? if it's 100% try it at a lower setting if the voltages are too high.

As an example, at 4.6GHz with CPU Core Vdroop Offset Control set at [100%] my voltages would be around 1.408v, now if I drop it to [25%] the voltage would be around 1.31v much better.
My 2500K only needs 1.28v using manual voltage to be stable, but we don't have Voltage offset to fine tune it, Due to IC & BIOS design, MSI cannot implement offset mode on existing products since the BIOS needs a major overhaul, and a proper Super I/O that can supply info to the BIOS - UEFI.

Hi there,

1 quickie. What's the disadvantages of using an i5 2500k with this board if any?

Cheers guys

Well from my opinion, none.

Only real feature missing off MSI motherboards is DVID/Offset, but this isn't really a big deal, because on the MSI Z68 their was only one settting for Vdroop on/off, with this MSI MPower you can set CPU Core Vdroop offset Control as a (%) percentage, so if you use CPU Auto Voltage, you can tweak Vdroop really well at high overclocks, well upto 4.9GHz I've tried.

As an example my 2500K VID at 4.8GHz is 1.41v this is what it would set at Vdroop offset Control = [100%], if I set it to 12.5%, the Auto voltage sets @ 1.31v

Here is one way of overclocking it, see my post >> http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=22950351&postcount=55

Check this >> MSI GD65 Z68 (G3) Quick Auto Voltage OC Guide and Reference for using turbo boost overclocking, this is how I overclock, once I roughly know what voltages my CPU needs at various multipliers.

Using turbo's to set to whatever as this needs slightly less voltage for stability, so for 4.5GHz.

1-Core ratio Limit 45
2-Core ratio Limit 45
3-Core ratio Limit 45
4-Core ratio Limit 45

 

[Nelly]

Will the nature of this board being fixed voltage, impair the life of the CPU when compared to using offset?

It's the only reason that I didn't buy one a couple of months ago.

Just use auto volts, along with vdroop offset, works well for me anyway - see my post below back from October last year.

I've currently got my 2500K now on Auto Voltage with power saving features clocked at 4.8GHz, the vcore is at 1.31v (1.32v real) using 12.5% Vdroop, I will post screenshots later.

That's the good thing about lowering the Vdroop if you have a high VID like mine, which is 1.411v @ 4.8GHz, but only needs around 1.3v (1.31v real) in BIOS to be stable.

I think the majority of Ivybridge have a really low VID i.e. <1.2v> you cannot increase Vdroop above 100%, this is when Voltage Offset would be required which the board doesn't have, you could then increase the offset to match the VID required at higher clocks. Obviously it doesn't matter if your using Manual Voltage to overclock because you can choose whatever voltage, I prefer power saving using auto voltage with voltage offsets.

Heart was in my mouth yesturday as I flashed my BIOS from 17.3 to the latest 17.12, Never done a BIOS flash before but went through absolutely fine...Forgive me I used M-Flash.

Nice one, M-Flash works usually anyway, the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher does it through a DOS made program, so should be more reliable that's all, either works well for me to.

I updated the page with the latest 17.11 BIOS, then a day later they released the 17.12 BIOS lol.
