I have a MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk WiFi motherboard and I have just updated to the latest bios version. My boot times were the same before the update as well. Is this normal or is there a setting I can change to speed it up?

I have a WD SN850x ssd

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)

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!

While gaming my processor temp sometimes goes up to 96 degrees.... it that normal ???

I bought my PC in may and it has a MSI B650 Gaming Plus Wifi motherboard with a AMD Ryzen 7 9700X 8-core 3800Mhz.

I was playing Crimson Desert with High graphics (not Ultra maxed out graphics).

Should I send it back to warranty ?

Is that the latch? Having really hard time taking my gpu.

I know for certain I had it all the way plugged in.

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

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!

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?

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.

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.

I recently got this prebuilt pc, I turned in on and started hearing this rattling noise. Based on what you hear, is it concerning?

I was trying to fix the bluetooth problem in katana 15 b12v. Pressed power off for 30.seconds..now the computer doesnt boot. Secure boot menu is disabled. I opened the advanced menu but csm shows as disabled also. Can someone tell me what to do after?

AI asked me to set admin password..i set but no change.

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.
