HELPING A VIEWER WITH HIS 2 RARE MSI BOARDS || repairing Z170A XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM EDITION

[@MarcoGPUtuber]

13:18 I recently picked up a coffee lake board from the scrapyard. Was told it was broken. I took a stab in the dark and reflashed the BIOS chip and it posted.

Exceptional content as always!

[@Takashita_Sukakoki]

A well implemented dual BIOS gigabyte take some notes. 350€ in 2015 feature up the wazoo (post code display, dual bios, cpu/ram´less flash, jumpers, ports with LED´s..)

[@dr.hinneredv932]

Very good to emphasising always connecting an USB keyboard. At startup you also see all the LEDs flashing once.

[@gravedigga71]

Nice, easy fixes. Gut gemacht.

[@aelaan12]

MSI has a separate ME (management engine) file to update with the version of the BIOS. You get the ME error because the bios is either missing the ME or it has been flashed back and is not the right version.

heya , could ya do a video explaining how you started doing this and with what you started really interested in starting probing soldering checking but idk from what to start , proly some shitty low end board a320 b350

[@MainboardMedic]

There is really not much to tell here, i started with Z170 and then worked on from there! I started by watching others do repairs and then trying it for myself! It is connected to a lot off hours staring at a board and wondering what could be wrong!

[@MarcoGPUtuber]

Hi there! I'd love to know where I could I find that little current meter after 8:35

[@MainboardMedic]

It is self build i just searched for a amp meter and voltage meter on aliexpress. It is ust inline with your 12V!

[@MarcoGPUtuber]

@@MainboardMedic Thanks!

[@MasterJediSean]

Hi Buddy, I looked up those BIOS codes and I think you are right. It mostly points to a bad DDR4 Stick or possibly a Bad CPU but most likely it's the RAM Memory. Good Luck!

[@maklogetrich2378]

it's weird because the owner seems able to do soldering and why not even testing a new stick of ram?

[@101pcgamer]

Can you do indeep video about your power setup?

[@MainboardMedic]

I am currently working on that video, i want to make some different setups and show them all in one Video!

[@vlastyhipolito4176]

sir what is the model of your thermal cam want to buy like that

[@MainboardMedic]

Its the infriray p2 pro!

[@2009numan]

you could have found out which one was the first one, as one of the boards had the locking mechanism missing off the top 16pcie socket

[@TheFurrry]

to fast on the voltage checks at the beginning, none of the voltages updated on your onscreen voltage display before you removed probe. so although you said 12v looked good it didn't even show up on the onscreen voltage display.. happened a few times

[@labeatjasiqi6649]

I got a z170 and bought it for 10eu. And it has a shorted 3v0 on pch. I thought I was done with this pch but its chasing me all the time

[@MainboardMedic]

I feared that for these boards too, but got lucky!
