MSI's X570 Tomahawk May Become Go-To OC Board??

[freddie64]

Ran it over the weekend and no issues as yet

Should have said in my earlier post that i am on the latest bios.

Installed on Friday and everything seems ok.

I updated to the latest bios last night. No issues so far

 

[PeegeeTips]

i've had it running since yesterday without issue.

Is the Agesa 1.2.0.5+ EDC bug fixed?

Is the Agesa 1.2.0.5+ EDC bug fixed?

I don't think so after a bit of googling. What actually is the bug? I can say I've noticed any difference really with all the different bios' with my 5600x

 

[Trick]

Not sure about 5600X (or other cpus as EDC may be different), but on 5900X since AGESA 1.2.0.5 EDC is limited to 140. If you set EDC higher than 140 then boost voltage is throttled and max clocks suffer.

Btw @SpudMaster, our join dates and post counts are weirdly similar

Spooky

I'll test it tonight with my 5600X, currently have EDC set to 150

 

[SpudMaster]

So no sure if the 5600X is affect by the EDC bug but with the latest bios I didn't notice any difference to the boost voltage when setting EDC to either 139 or 150

I bought this shortly after it came out and have a 8 core 3 series ryzen in it.

Whats the sweet point at this time for upgrading the CPU, that won't break the bank and the mobo is compatible with ?

5700X or 5800X3D to top out the board (for games).

5600g/5700g in you need intergrated graphics, the 5700x if you don't. These chips offer great value for money/performance

5800X3D is the only real answer if you’re gaming.

5950X if you’re editing videos.

I'll be happy if the rumours of this fixing the EDC bug are true

Hi guys,

Just tried to flash to the latest bios and now my rig won't boot... fans spin and my keyboard lights up but thats it.

I left the room while the update was taking place but I can't imagine anything untoward happened?

I've never used the recovery method before, can someone here who has possibly guide me?

Thanks!

 

[slipd]

I think I've just about tried everything - the board doesn't seem to want to know... is there an MSI rep on here still?

You tried following one of the BIOS flashback guides? Got to do it to the letter.

I used this guide before.

Thanks! Can I ask though, did you completely strip your rig bare before you did that? - and is the flash led on the bios button meant to be white on this board? There's a lot of MSI boards that tell you to look for the red led.

 

[freddie64]

If i remember correctly, i did the bios flashback once before with all components installed and am sure the led was white.

Have you tried resetting CMOS, it sometimes needs to be done.
