Important

Overheating

Overheating can seriously damage the CPU and mainboard. Always make sure the cooling fans work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Be sure to apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.

Replacing the CPU

When replacing the CPU, always turn off the system's power supply and unplug the power supply's power cord to ensure the safety of the CPU.

Overclocking

This mainboard is designed to support overclocking. Before attempting to overclock, please make sure that all other system components can tolerate overclocking. Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is not recommend. MSI does not guarantee the damages or risks caused by inadequate operation beyond product specifications.

CPU & Cooler Installation

When installing a CPU, always remember to install a CPU cooler. A CPU cooler is necessary to prevent overheating and maintain system stability. Follow the steps below to ensure correct CPU and CPU cooler installation. Wrong installation can damage both the CPU and the mainboard.

  1. Open hinge lever. You can identify the hinge lever as below shown, it with a interlocking feature on the other end.
  2. Open active lever.

MSI BIG BANG-XPOWER 2 - CPU & Cooler Installation - 1

  1. Open the load plate by pushing down on the hinge lever.
  2. Grasp the tab, only it has risen away from the socket, open load plate to full open position.

MSI BIG BANG-XPOWER 2 - CPU & Cooler Installation - 2

  1. Line up the CPU to fit the CPU socket. Be sure to hold the CPU by the base with the metal contacts facing downward. The alignment keys on the CPU will line up with the edges of the CPU socket to ensure a correct fit.
  2. Carefully close the load plate and remove the plastic protective cap.

Mounting Screw Holes

When installing the mainboard, first install the necessary mounting stands required for an mainboard on the mounting plate in your computer case. If there is an I/O back plate that came with the computer case, please replace it with the I/O backplate that came with the mainboard package. The I/O backplate should snap easily into the computer case without the need for any screws. Align the mounting plate's mounting stands with the screw holes on the mainboard and secure the mainboard with the screws provided with your computer case. The locations of the screw holes on the mainboard are shown below. For more information, please refer to the manual that came with the computer case.

MSI BIG BANG-XPOWER 2 - Mounting Screw Holes - 1

Important

  • Install the mainboard on a flat surface free from unnecessary debris.
  • To prevent damage to the mainboard, any contact between the mainboard circuitry and the computer case, except for the mounting stands, is prohibited.
  • Please make sure there are no loose metal components on the mainboard or within the computer case that may cause a short circuit of the mainboard.

Power Supply

JPWR1:ATX24-pinPowerConnector

This connector allows you to connect an ATX 24-pin power supply. To connect the ATX 24-pin power supply, align the power supply cable with the connector and firmly press the cable into the connector. If done correctly, the clip on the power cable should be hooked on the mainboard's power connector.

Memory

These DIMM slots are used for installing memory modules. For more information on compatible components, please visit http://www.msi.com/service/test-report

MSI BIG BANG-XPOWER 2 - Memory - 1

Up to Quad-Channel mode

This mainboard supports up to four memory channels. Two DIMM slots provide a single channel. The memory modules can transmit and receive data with four data bus channels simultaneously to enhance system performance. Please refer the following tables for more details.

Defined Channel list
ChannelDIMM Slot
Channel ADIMM1, DIMM2
Channel BDIMM3, DIMM4
Channel CDIMM5, DIMM6
Channel DDIMM7, DIMM8

Important

  • DDR3 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR2, and the DDR3 standard is not backward compatible. Always install DDR3 memory modules in DDR3 DIMM slots.
  • Always insert memory modules in the DIMM1 slot first.
  • Due to chipset resource usage, the system will only detect up to 127+ GB of memory (not full 128 GB) when all DIMM slots have 16GB memory modules installed.

Installing Memory Modules

  1. Unlock the DIMM slot by pushing the mounting clip to the side. Vertically insert the memory module into the DIMM slot. The memory module has an off-center notch on the bottom that will only allow it to fit one way into the DIMM slot.
  2. Push the memory module deep into the DIMM slot. The plastic clip at side of the DIMM slot will automatically close when the memory module is properly seat and an audible click should be heard.
  3. Manually check if the memory module has been locked in place by the DIMM slot's side clip.

Expansion Slots

This mainboard contains numerous ports for expansion cards, such as discrete graphics or audio cards.

PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) Slot

The PCIe slot supports the PCIe interface expansion card.

MSI BIG BANG-XPOWER 2 - PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) Slot - 1

Important

When adding or removing expansion cards, always turn off the power supply and unplug the power supply power cable from the power outlet. Read the expansion card's documentation to check for any necessary additional hardware or software changes.

Video/ Graphics Cards

If available, this mainboard takes advantage of the CPU's integrate graphics processor, but discrete video cards can be installed by way of the mainboard's expansion slots. Adding on one or more discrete video cards will significantly boost the system's graphics performance. For best compatibility, MSI graphics cards are recommended.

Single Video Card Installation

  1. Determine what type of expansion slot(s) the video card will use. Locate the expansion slot(s) on the mainboard. Remove any protective expansion slot covers from the computer case.
  2. Line up the video card on top of the expansion slot(s) with the display ports facing out of the computer case. For a single video card installation, using the PCI_E1 slot is recommended.
  3. Push the video card into its expansion slot(s). Depending on the expansion slot(s) used, there should be clip(s) on the expansion slot(s) that will lock in place.
  4. If needed, screw the edge of the graphics card to the computer case. Some video cards might require a power cable directly from the power supply.
  5. Please consult your video card's manual for further instructions regarding driver installation or other special settings.

MSI BIG BANG-XPOWER 2 - Single Video Card Installation - 1

AMD CrossFireX™ (Multi-GPU) Technology

AMD CrossFireX™ is a multi-GPU performance gaming platform. By linking together two or more discrete GPUs, CrossFireX™ can significant improve system graphics performance. It allows the ability to scale a system's graphics power as needed, making it the most scalable gaming platform. This mainboard will automatically detect CrossFireX™ technology and make changes in the BIOS as needed. Follow the instructions below to ensure a successful two-way CrossFireX™ installation.

  1. Install two AMD Radeon™ HD graphics cards into the PCI_E1 & PCI_E3 expansion slots.
  2. With the two cards installed, two CrossFire™ Video Link cable are required to connect the graphics cards. Attach one side of the cable on each of the cards by way of the metal contacts (please refer to the picture below). Please note that although two graphics cards have been installed, only the display ports on the graphics card installed in the first PCIe x16 slot will work. All displays should be connected to this graphics card.

MSI BIG BANG-XPOWER 2 - AMD CrossFireX™ (Multi-GPU) Technology - 1

Important

  • Please ensure that all graphics cards used in CrossFire™ mode are of the same brand and specifications. For best compatibility with the mainboard, MSI graphics cards are recommended.
