Willkommen
im ultimativem Sammelthread für die
MSI Z87 MPOWER & XPOWER Serie
Vorwort zu den Mainboards von MSI Z87 MPOWER & MPOWER-MAX & X-Power
Die MSI Mainboards mit dem Z87er Chipsatz werden Aufgrund dessen,das sich diese Boards Hauptsächlich im Phasendesign unterscheiden und in einzelnen Anschlußbereichen,hier in einem Sammelthread zusammen gefügt.
Natürlich wird hierbei berücksichtigt,das die einzelnen Mainboards unter Umständen über andere Biosfunktionen verfügen,das bedeutet dann,sollte es Updates geben,wir diese hier mit einer Farblichen hinterlegung voneinander trennen werden.
Gleiches gillt für etwaige Kompatibilitätsprobleme,welche jeweils als gesonderter Hinweis unter dem jeweiligen Board aufgelistet werden.
Weiteres wichtiges gleich zum Anfang von mir,welches als Info für euch dienen soll.
Da ich selbst Besitzer eines MSI Z87 MPOWER MAX bin,werde ich dazu ein kleines Review schreiben,welches sich unter anderem dem Zubehöhr,Special Effects des Mainboards und den Overclockingbereich widmen wird.
Desweiteren bin ich nicht gerade ein großer Experte in sachen Software und Overclocking,jedoch bin ich in der Lage,vereinzelt Hilfestellung zu bieten.
Ansonsten bitte ich darum,sollte ich etwas übersehen haben oder wichtige Info's übersehen haben,das ihr mich darauf hinweist.
Sollte ich etwas nicht ganz richtig erklärt haben,so korigiert mich bitte und habt Geduld mit mir....
Und ganz wichtig,dieser Thread befindet sich weiterhin im Aufbau und wird nach und nach von mir oder einem Moderator aktualisiert.Da ich Berufstätig bin,bitte ich um Nachsicht,falls es mal etwas länger dauert,bis ich antworte oder auch diesen Thread aktuell hallte.
Danke hierfür !

!!! Biosupdates via Flash & deren Vorgehensweise !!!
Grundsätzlich soll das Bios im Bios mit dem "UPDATE BIOS & ME " gewällt werden. Immer,es sei den es wird was anderes im "ReadMe"Text angegeben.
Desweiteren "muss" der jeweilige "USB-Stick" formatiert sein und nur die jweilige Bios-Version auf dem Stick zum flashen anbei sein.
Weiterhin sollte unbedingt darauf geachtet werden,das beim flashen via USB-Stick der Stick auch im jeweiligen Port gesteckt wird. Das heist , USB2.0 auf USB2.0 und USB3.0 auf USB3.0
Nachdem flashvorgang soll man grundsärzlich ins Bios gehen und die Taste F6 drücken für "Load Optimized defaults" und dann die Taste F10 für "Save and Reset". Dann folgt bekanntlich der Reboot.
Erst dann solltet ihr wieder im BIOS Einstellungen verändern.

Als nächstes widmen wir uns der Kombatibilität von Kühlern jeglicher Art!
Da bei den Mainboards MPOWER & MPOWER MAX das Kühldesign gleich ist,fasse ich dies hier in einer gemeinsamen Liste zusammen.Ebenfalls listen wir auch hier das XPOWER auf,mit dem Vermerk (beim XPOWER] !
Bitte meldet hier in diesem Thread,welche Kühler sich einfach verbauen lassen.
Bei Kühlern,dessen Montage sich schwierig gestaltet oder gar garnicht möglich ist,weil z.B. die kühlfinnen im wege sind,bitte ich dies möglichst genau zu dokumentieren. Das bei großen Towerkühlern die RAM-Bänke überragt werden können,lasse ich hier ausser acht,da jeder wissen sollte,wenn er sich einen Doppelturmkühler kauft,das dieser logischerweise die RAM-Bänke überragen wird und in diesem fall dann Low-profile-RAM's eingesetzt werden sollten.
Kühler die also Kompatibel sind,werden in Grün aufgelistet.
Kühler,bei denen es zu Komplikationen kommen könnte,werden in Lila aufgelistet.
Kühler,dessen Monatge evtl. garnicht möglich ist,werden hier dann in Rot aufgelistet.
Weiterhin benötigen wir von euch den Herstellernamen , Modelbezeichnung und ob Luft , Wasser oder Chiller usw.
Die Kühler Kompatibilitätsliste
* Corsair H100i / Wakü MPOWERMAX
* Noctua NH-U14S / LuKü MPOWERMAX
* Akasa Venom Medusa / LuKü MPOWERMAX
* Dark Rock c1 advanced MPOWERMAX es werden zwei RAM-Steckplätze blockiert,ausser bei Lowprofile,also wie gehabt.
* Thermalright Archon SB-E X2 (TY141) MPOWERMAX
* Noctua NH-C12P SE14 MPOWERMAX , nur Horizontal(Pipes nach unten)
* Alpenföhn Himalaya MPOWERMAX / MPOWER / MPOWER-SP keine Montage möglich.
* Prolimatech Black Megahalems MPOWERMAX keine Komplikationen,Lowprofile-RAM vorrausgesetzt.
* Phobya UC2 LT inkl. Backplatte (Wakü) MPOWERMAX , einwandfreie Montage ohne Hindernisse.

Der Arbeitsspeicher
Was natürlich existenziell wichtig ist, ist die RAM-Kompatibilität ,welche wir hier auch in einer Liste zusammen fassen.Ebenfalls listen wir auch hier das XPOWER auf,mit dem Vermerk (beim XPOWER] !
Dabei wird unterscheiden zwischen RAM's ,die sofort im BIOS korrekt erkannt werden,welche dann als grün gelistet werden.
Dann folgen jene RAM'S ,die ansich laufen,aber eine manuelle Einstellung im BIOS erforden,diese werden mit lila in dieser Liste hinterlegt sein.
Dann folgen als letztes die RAM's, die mit den beiden Mainboards MPOWER & MPOWER-MAX komplett inkompatibel sind.Diese werden dann folglich als rot in dieser Liste hinterlegt.
!!! Wichtig !!!
Bei inkobatibilität eines RAM's möchte ich euch als allererstes darum bitten,die Herstellerseite zu besuchen und dort nach etwaigen Einstellungsänderungen zu suchen,die evtl. doch euren RAM zum laufen bringen.
Sollte das auch nicht helfen,so könnt ihr dann,nach diesem vorgehen,den inkombatiblen RAM hier im Thread eintragen.
Dies dient für alle User & Nutzer zur Sicherheit,das alle möglichkeiten geprüft wurden.
Diese Kombatibilitätsliste sollte nach möglichkeit zu 100% der Wahrheit entsprechen .
Die RAM-Kombatibilitätsliste
* Avexir MPOWER Core 4x4GB 1600MHz MPOWERMAX
* Corsair Vengeance LP(Black) 4x4GB 1600MHz MPOWERMAX
* Corsair Vengeance (Black) 2x4GB 1866MHz MPOWERMAX
* Corsair Dominator Platinum PC3-19200U 16GB-Kit(2x8) CL10-12-12-31 MPOWERMAX
* Patriot Viper 3 Black Mamba DIMM Kit 16GB, DDR3-1600, CL9-9-9-24 (PV316G160C9K) MPOWERMAX

Alles wichtige zum BIOS
Damit das Mainboard auf der Softwaretechnischen Seite auch Rund läuft,fasse ich hier eine Liste zusammen,die Updates für das Bios enthällt.
BIOS-Updates werden hierbei in Farben dem jeweiligem Mainboard zugeordnet,hinterlegt.Ebenfalls listen wir auch hier das XPOWER auf.
MPOWER = grün
MPOWERMAX = blau
XPOWER = rot
BIOS Updates
*MPOWER Version 7818 / 1.0 / 1.1 / 1.2 / 1.3
*MPOWERMAX Version 7815 / 1.0 / 1.1 / 1.2 / 1.3
*XPOWER Version 7811 / 1.0

Nachträgliche Anmerkung und Bitte zu diesem Thread.
Probleme die den Hersteller betreffen,wie RMA oder probleme mit dem Lieferanten haben hier in diesem Thread nichts zu suchen und werden Ausnamslos gelöscht oder gemeldet.
Ebenfalls dulde ich hier kein Herstellerbashing oder Kommentare die in diese Richtung gehen. Jedweder Post,der dieser Beschreibung hier entspricht,wird gelöscht oder gemeldet.
Ich möchte euch alle darum bitten,diesen Sammelthread in aller Ordentlichkeit und Nachvollziehbarkeit zu führen.
Dies dient nicht nur mir oder euch Foristen,sondern auch Gästen,die sich in diesem Sammelthread wichtige Informationen einholen,um etwaige probleme selbst lösen zu können.
Schön wäre es auch,wenn man sich hier mit gegenseitgem Respeckt begegnet und Diskussionen nicht ausufern.
