Nice, my setup also features the 5930K and a 16GB G.Skill 2400 kit

Hmmmm, I've been reading up on the x99 Gaming 9 AC. Anyone receive their's yet? If so, what is your opinion on it?

My only real hesitation on this board is the NIC, I've heard that the Killer NIC can be a problem and is not as solid as the Intel variant.

Ok, nice
biggrin.gif

When i have everything ready, i will give some feedback about how things are going...
For now i can only use air cooling... a noctua u12s...

@Canis-X

I think the x99 Gaming 9, has 2 nics, one intel and one killer nic, the gaming 7, only have the killer nic.
Never had problems with the killer nic, both internal or external i used.
I think the problem is the killer nic software, if not used properly... but you can drop the software and install only the drivers.

Gaming 7 also only has the singe Killer NIC.
yes, you are right... sorry i made a confusion with the gigabyte x99 gaming g1 that was 2 nics, intel and killer.

No worries man, I've been doing the same and the x99 platform is driving me nuts!! There are sooo many motherboards that look amazing ("on paper") it is hard to make my decision. This wasn't a problem when I got into the x79 platform, the RIVE was IT....period. This time though, uggg. Still saving some cash though to afford both the RAM and the board, have the 5960X sitting on my desk right in front of my monitors reminding me daily...LOL.

Good to see the discussion starting
smile.gif
. How about I'll gather up all the specifications on all MSI boards and get them into the OP.
 
#15 ·
I've been running the SLI Plus for about a week and a half, and I am quite pleased. I jumped from a Gigabyte X58-UD3R w/ i7 920, so it was quite a nice jump, even considering I haven't gotten around to overclocking anything yet.

UEFI BIOS is a new thing to me, too, and I find the MSI easy enough to navigate. I thought XMP might be more tricky to enable, but no, all I had to do was click a button in the top left and away I went.

Just mounted yesterday, my MSI x99s Gaming 7 (16gb Gskill 2400 c15) with a 5930K cpu and for now a air cooler NOCTUA NH-U12S, inside my Lian Li PC-A20 case.

I had only few time...

CPU @ 4300mhz @ 1.2 vcore idle: 35 load: 60 (1 hour of AIDA64 stress test + winrar bechmark)
MEM @ 2666mhz @ 1.35 vcore

Because i still have low temps, I think that with 1.3 vcore (max i should go on air) on the cpu i can reach 4500 mhz easy.

ZERO problems so far.
Love this board, the board fan control is amazing, can put my system completly quiet, wich is nice because this system is a gaming and media-center machine.

Will give more info soon i have more time to test.

Hi There...
I have purchased the board X99S SLI PLUS.
But since day one, has been a real nightmare to work with it...
I have a 5820k CPU and 32GB 8x4gb GSkill DDR4 2400mhz black.

I have flashed both bios to 1.20, to try to improve my situation to no avail...
I still have random boot problems, where the boot process stops on the "B4" reference on the lower corner right...
That happens when i do some restart on the OS for exemple...
Some times it hangs there and don´t go anywhere, other times it goes to the bios screen and do the POST.
When it hangs i have to press reset to restart the system and at that time it posts normally.

The other issues, are allready inside the bios....
Sometimes the bios hangs from nothing... like when i want to the Sensor monitors, or when i apply the settings...
Last time i think the bios went corrupt, because when i pressed reset the power light and hdd don´t light anymore and there is no action on the POST...
Have to switch to the Green BIOS, to get the system up again...

This is a very bad bios product, and i don´t really understand why theses products don´t have a better quality control.

Now i have a NON FUNCTION BIOS on the blue side, and a problematic bios on the green side.
Also... There is some memory problems on Windows 8.1, because i have allready have some random BSOD (more when i activate the XMS option).

Also there is some kind of problem with Samsung SSD Rapid Option and this board, because i also get some BSOD refering the Rapid process.
To reference, my system is NOT OVERCLOCKED, the cpu are at default and so is the memories...

What can be done?

- To recover the corrupted and failed blue side bios
- To resolve the hangouts on boot sequence that stops at "B4"
- To resolve the random lockups inside the bios (THAT corrupts the damm BIOS)
- To improve reliability of this Board...

So far im not impressed with this product... I was expecting far more from MSI, after i have a good experience with my latest Z77 Gamming board.
I really need help here because i do need my system to work...

Also, its possible to help with the settings to overclock the system?
There are so many settings all over the place (OC section, then CPU Section)...

Best Regards,
Paulo Eduardo

PS: Sorry for my english, but that is not my native language...

Real bummer you're having so many problems already, all I can do is suggest to talk to MSI. Might be just a defective motherboard. As on overclocking, there are thousands of guides all over the internet, and I'm sure the lads over at the == Haswell-E Overclock Leaderboard & Owners Club ==
Also, don't worry about the English, you're doing quite good, actually. (And I'll let you in on a little 'secret': It's not my first language either.

Already ordered your XPOWER? So far I have not heard anything about a Big Bang X99 board, and haven't been able to find anything on the interwebz either. Seems like the XPOWER is going to be the most XTREME board in MSI's line-up.

And it's always sad to see old stuff go

On a side note, I have contacted $ilent, the Intel Editor to see if he'd be able to give this club the [OFFICIAL] tag.

Welll...

One less problem...

I manage to recover the "BLUE BIOS", using the guideline in the manual.
I did a USB Bootable with RUFUS App.
Then i put the executable and the bios 1.20, on that pen.

The i powered off the system. Put the GREEN BIOS Switch.
Booted by the usb pen.
In DOS i changed the switch to the "BLUE BIOS", and execute the file and bios.

In DOS the updater reflashed the blue bios with sucess...
After all process is done, i restarted the system...

And Voilá..... BLUE BIOS back to life!
smile.gif

So i have now the 2 bios fully working (or at least booting...).

Unfortunatelly, the rest of the problems still happen...

With my best Regards,

LPC

- To resolve the hangouts on boot sequence that stops at "B4"
- To resolve the random lockups inside the bios (THAT corrupts the damm BIOS)
- To improve reliability of this Board...

So far im not impressed with this product... I was expecting far more from MSI, after i have a good experience with my latest Z77 Gamming board.
I really need help here because i do need my system to work...

Also, its possible to help with the settings to overclock the system?
There are so many settings all over the place (OC section, then CPU Section)...

Best Regards,
Paulo Eduardo

PS: Sorry for my english, but that is not my native language...
have you tried testing the sistem with 1 stick of ram only?
Loaded the default bios values to check if everything is working properly?
maight be a bad piece too, try to talk msi.
All i have read about sli plus are sweet things till now.

Hi!
Allready tested with just 1,2 and 4 dimms, same problem ocurr...

From what MSI told me, maybe this is a hotplug USB thing (the B4 lockup).
As for the random locks on the BIOS... No reply yet...

Can anyone give me some insights on what settings should i use on this board if i want to overclock?

I have just alter the multiplier and add some voltage to the cpu...

No idea if i should do something more...

Best Regards,

LPC

nice to ear your solving a few problems.
i dunno if this might help or its related maybe to the chipset, but
some peoples with gigabyte are expiriencing your same troubles with bios, post, lockups, etc, give a look here :
http://www.overclock.net/t/1510355/gigabyte-x99-motherboard-discussion-club/110
they got problems with some hard drives, i gave a quick read, and they seem related to western digital drives.
Perhaps its related to your hardware too..
hope this helps.
as for overclocking, there are the stiky on the forum, just use the guideling, as there aint a specific one for sli plus.
