MSI MAG Tomahawk X870/X870E Owners Thread

I've just joined the club after my MSI X670E Tomahawk started playing up (Lost WIFI and 2 SATA ports)

So far, so good, it's a cracking board ;) , and just in time to install a new BIOS today, which is always nice when first booting things up.
 
Anyone had an issue with WiFi suddenly not working on the x870?

Been working fine for me, then today I came out of sleep mode and no WiFi connections found.

Restarted, there was a BSOD and something to do with power issue. When the PC restarted no WiFi at all. I went to device manager and showed hidden devices and it was greyed out. Tried to re-install drivers and couldn't as thr install button is greyed out and 'Device name' box says "No suitable drivers"

In BIOS you can't really turn it off and on, only Auto/WiFi only/Bluetooth only/both off.

Very odd

Edit - Had to use the clear CMOS button to fix it. I'll see what happens after the PC goes in to sleep mode again.

Anyone have issues with loading Ubuntu on SSD? It runs increadly slow on the X870 that slow I can't even install it, constant timeouts.

I've got 2 NVMe drives and 1 SSD. NVME 1 and 4 slot, SSD slot 1. Sometimes the SSD doesn't even get detected by the BIOS.

Flashed it - let's see how long it takes this time :)

Can confirm nothing seems off on my system at the moment. Played about 45 mins of Doom: TDA, all fine.

Got drives in M2 slots 1 (samsung one), 2 and 4 (both lexar drives), all are reliably recognized.
My memory is a not-fancy Kingston kit that runs at 6000 on its 1st EXPO profile, CL36.

Anyone with a 5090 and an MSI x870 board?

I seem to recall people were saying they had long-term issues with the motherboard coming out of sleep mode/cold boot which I never experienced before

However, since installing an Nvidia 5090 FE on Saturday, the system does feel a bit sluggish when out of sleep. I wondered if it was related to PCIE 5.0 somehow?

Nope, zero problems here. Spec in sig.

Yes, but doesn't appear to be the issue you noted. I've had intermittent issues where there's no signal from the DisplayPort. Always fine over HDMI.

MSI 5090 Ventus 3X OC paired with MSI X870 Tomahawk WiFi & AMD 9800X3D, Corsair Vengeance 64 GB DDR5 6000 MT/s CL30, Corsair RM1000x PSU, MSI MAG 275CQRF-QD monitor, with the following symptoms:
Black screen on reboot or hot restart (not allowing caps to discharge in system).
"Blindly" typing my password in takes me to the home screen, where the graphics card seems to kick into life and display output.
Fine if I use the iGPU (if enabled) or an AMD RX 7600 graphics card.

What I've tried:
Happens regardless of if I use W11, Linux (Fedora), or even without any boot drive and trying to restart into BIOS, e.g. after changing settings.
Tried various BIOS versions on mobo (A40, A44, A51, A60, A61). Currently running the A61. Latest NVIDIA drivers in W11 and Fedora. Latest VBIOS (98.02.2E.40.AF) according to MSI Center.
Switching PCI-e GEN1/2/3/4/5 on the graphcis card slot.
Power cycling the monitor.
Using an alternative DisplayPort cable that is known to be high quality and working fine on other systems at this resolution and framerate.
Enabling/disabling hybrid graphics.
Enabling/disabling integrated graphics.
Enabling/disabling Re-BAR.
Ran the GPU UEFI firmware updater in W11, said I had an update available, but this didn't resolve the issue.

Current workaround:
Issues eliminated if only using HDMI from graphics card to monitor. Seems to be an issue with DisplayPort only.

Seems to be an issue with other peoples' graphics card not allowing to boot into UEFI (using the term BIOS above as it's more commonly referred to). NVIDIA released a fw patch for 5060 Tis. https://www.techpowerup.com/337331/...pdate-to-fix-rtx-5060-ti-reboot-black-screens

Thanks.

I've not really experienced that, my monitor is connected via Display Port and TV via HDMI (often not switched on)

Previous issues I had were coming out of sleep mode, but I just had my first cold boot issue. The whole PC was just laggy, I checked GPU-Z and the GPU was running in PCIE 1.1, when I did the render test the maximum it went to was 2.0 x16

Restarted the PC and it's back to running at PCIE 5.0 x16 and feels normal again.
 
The 2 issues noted above sound very similar to things I have experienced.
I have a tomahawk x870E though.

my experiences have been detailed previously in this thread...


to summarise though...
PCIe negotiating to a lower spec/rate: This was addressed in a x870E firmware update about 2 months ago. I havent noticed the issue since then.
Issues remaining through hot/cold reboots (NIC link issue for me): support advised to enable ERP in the BIOS which seems to force power to be cut/discharged from components on the board??
