bump it up = overclock

anyone here using msi gaming 970 amd mobo? how is it?

people suggested to used the XMP for an easy RAM overclock, but I cant find my XMP menu on my mobo...
I'm using MSI Z97 Gaming 5... saw from net there should be the menu somewhere in the bios on the advances setting...
funny, it wasn't there... is it because of the RAM itself? The vids I saw was using the same mobo but using a different RAm which is Corsair Vengeance 1866MHz

Hello,

I owned a MSI Z97 Gaming 5 mobo which had been bought way back in May 2015... and had use it happily with a single-channel mode of Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB 1866MHz... in last few days, had some budget to topup the memory module for another identical piece... when I put the new memory module for a dual-channel mode, a "loop-restart" happened... and this happened again and again...

I had test both memory modules (one modules per one slot test), everything work fine... system powered, boot in windows... but only limited to RAM slot 1 & slot 2 only. While both slot 3 & slot 4 are not functioning... thus, I'm not able to use dual-channel mode either with slot 2 + slot 4 OR slot 1 + slot 3... atm, I'm using both memory modules on slot 1 + slot 2 for 16GB single-channel mode

RIG INFORMATION
Mobo: MSI Z97 Gaming 5
CPU: Pentium G3258
GPU: N/A
RAM: 2x HyperX Fury 8GB 1866MHz
OS: Windows 10

Were my ram slot 3 & slot 4 dead? If YES, what is the proper way to do a RMA for MSI product?

Hi Sue Cinta,

Sorry for the late reply.

May I know what is the version of your BIOS?

Can I have your RAM model?

And is it possible that you can provide us the BIOS debug code which showed on the motherboard when the loop restart happened?

Thank You.

Hi Sue Cinta,

Sorry for the late reply.

I think its better you send the motherboard to us for further troubleshoot.

Is it ok?

Thank You.

yeah, sure... I'm intended to do so... but, where is exactly the location I need to send the mobo for inspection?
the shop where I bought the mobo says it was in the Plaza Pantai nearby the LRT Kerinchi... am I correct to assume it's there?
Usually how long would it take for the inspection? and what should I bring along during my time there?

Thanks in advance

Just bought a MSI Gaming M5 motherboard, enjoying it but there is no beep code sound(post codes beep) even though I have installed buzzer speaker on JFP2, is this normal? Is there away I can enable the post beep sound in the bios or something?

msi 980 ti gooding?

Can i know where can i sent my card for rma? GTX 670 P.E OC
i have two 670 P.E in sli and when i enabled sli the driver keep on crashing and recover. im using the latest driver. i test both card individually and one of the card make the driver crash and recover. The other card seem fine. Already sent the card for rma previously and this is the second time it have problem

Very gooding

Hahaha... indeed... very the gooding and goodinger... unless u can pay more for Titan X...

Fml cant decide 980 ti // fury x. Thanks guys

if u looking between 980ti with the hybrid one with the fury x, that should be decent comparison...
980ti have more vram compare to fury x... 6G compare to 4G...
imo, if u're looking to get a good 4k exp, a higher vram should be the solution..
but, also depend on what u gonna use the gpu for...
fury x does have higher Memory Interface bus... more 10x faster than the 980ti...
this should be important for media contain creator... not sure for gaming though...

Any thoughts on MSI GE72 6QC Apache????

Which M.2 SSD is best to slot in?

False
State n show that fury x has 10x faster memory ..

Joining MSI family for 1st time with Z170A Gaming M3 mobo~~ very handsome board indeed.
