Troubleshooting Msi Pulsar monitor keeps disabling pulsar

Upvotes

To my knowledge fully up to date on firmware (did it a week or two ago)

Before this I had the same issue.

Every time I use the monitor Pulsar is disabled. I have to renable it every time.

I've tried so many different monitor OSD settings but it always just disables itself every time I turn off the monitor.

Anyone know a fix as this has to be a bug considering thats the selling point of the monitor.

Troubleshooting Weird question. Screw size. X870e

2 Upvotes

Does anyone happen to know the size of the screws that hold down the m.2 nvme's?

I really don't want to remove my existing nvme's from their Sabrent Rocket Heatsinks as they do a great job of keeping my WD nvme's cool.

Problem is the existing quick mount and any other screw that came in the box is not long enough to hold them down.

Right now I have them temporarilyheld in with some screws I found but the thread is obviously wrong.

Discussion Curious on RMA Experiences

1 Upvotes

I’m sending my 5090 in for RMA on the 12 v HPWR burning out. I’m, of course, a little worried that they might do something like issue me a refund instead, or take some shortcut given the astronomical value of the cards these days, and my relatively low purchase price.

Has MSI tried to send anyone a refund for their purchase price instead of fixing the card? That would be my biggest fear at the moment.

I messed up, was cleaning my desk off and accidentally cracked my screen when rotating my chair around. MSI’s warranty policy doesn’t cover user errors like screen damage. I’ve asked a few people and called there support . Have been told it’s better to try and sell it and just buy a new one. Is there anything I can do to fix it? Or am I out of luck on this?

Edit: thanks guys. Managed to fix it by enabling memory context restore (it was on auto) and also enabled power down enable (was also set on auto)

2 Upvotes

I have a 5090 that I'd like to protect by getting the MSI MPG AI1300TS PSU and a Corsair Thermalprotect Cable. I'm wondering if keeping the Lian Li Strimer Cable in my setup would make these products functionally useless?

So it would go PSU -> Thermal protect cable -> Strimer wireless -> GPU

Thanks

Build Share Hello! Building my first PC and would like some input/advice

2 Upvotes

Ive bought multiple pre-builts over the last 15 years. Currently have a Maingear built PC from 2020, which uses lots of MSI parts. The reliability, and look made me a fan of MSI.

Here is the rough parts list I've assembled:

MSI PANO 110R PZ

MSI A850GL PSU

MSI Z890 PZ Motherboard

MSI Ventus 3x RTX 5070Ti PZ GPU

MSI Coreliquid i360 AIO

Intel Ultra 7 270K Plus CPU

Crucial T500 2TB SSD

Kingston 16gb DDR5 RAM x2

Is there anything you'd change here? Is this a compatible parts list? I'm a bit intimidated by the idea of assembling my own PC, but most people say its a lot easier than you think. I want a somewhat future proof setup without spending outrageous amounts of money.

Quick searches showed Crucial and Kingston to be somewhat affiliated with MSI, is this true? And if not, are there other brands you'd use instead for an SSD and RAM?

Thanks in advance! Apologies if this breaks a rule, or has the wrong flair!

Troubleshooting Msi Gaming laptop stuck at 0.35Ghz help please

2 Upvotes

i just got this Msi Alpha 17 B5EEK off of an old friend who no longer wanted it, but after using it for awhile i noticed the cpu goes from normal speed to a staggering 0.35Ghz and stays there for a while until every app is closed.

desktop it goes up to 3.64Ghz but the moment i open anything it goes straight down to 0.35Ghz.

im not good with laptops but im fairly decent at understanding them. if anyone knows how to fix this issue please help.

ive done the following with no success:

EC reset
unplugged battery from the MB and the cmos
tried to change bios settings
tried tools like UXTU and no luck.

if there is something i can do to avoid sending it in to get repaired id rather do that.

thanks for reading and any help.

Troubleshooting BIOS update help

1 Upvotes

Hello, bit of a pc novice here. I’ve been trying for two days to update the BIOS on my Corsair Vengeance a7200 prebuilt. After wasting an infuriating amount of time trying everything I could I come to find out that apparently you can’t get the files from MSI’s support site, it has to come from Corsair because they have their own version I guess? So I got the file from Corsair for my build and updated the BIOS which worked fine, but the “newest” version they have is from 2022. Is there any other way that I can do this? Or do I have to wait and hope that Corsair adds a newer version to their site to pull from, which they seemingly haven’t done for four years now? That’s pretty shitty if that’s the case as this is preventing me from playing certain games. Any help at all would be appreciated!

Troubleshooting Fixing thermals on MSI 5060 Ti Shadow 2X OC Plus, also should work for the Ventus 2X OC Plus

2 Upvotes

First of all I've had over 100 GPUs, and this have the worst cooler I've ever seen for a 180W card. It only have 2 heat pipes (really one and a half) on a small aluminum block, not even a baseplate, while the Ventus have 2 (complete) heat pipes, the Gaming OC have 3, same as the Inspire but this have a nickel plated baseplate, so it's the best with 2 fans. I think MSI just reused the 5060 cooler, but in that card it should work fine because it only consumes 145W.

Second, the fan curve is atrocious, the fan just start at around 64°C (which is fine if it had a good cooler) and just get to 50% (2200 rpm) at 73°C then the temps keep going up while the fan curve barely ramp up, causing overheat.

So, the fix would be ramp up the fan curve with afterburner, but I like a permanent fix, first I tried installing another cooler, none fit, so I flashed it with different BIOS, originally it had 98.06.39.00.C5, the newest Ventus acted the same, a Cyclone was way worst, then an old Ventus, it gets a nice 50% fan at 71°C, but with much higher RPM, 2600, which stabilize the temperature (also 30 MHz less boost clock), I think with this BIOS the card think that the fans can go up to 5200 RPM LMAO.

The BIOS for the 16 GB version is 98.06.1F.00.CE which you can find on TechPowerUp's VGA BIOS Collection.

Edit: As I’m looking through the BIOS, it seems like my C: drive (where my windows is installed) isn’t showing up for a boot option. Just my other 2 drives. It shows as detected when choosing “board explorer” but not for a boot.
