Wonder why they pulled v14, I've had no issues so far, my 3700X at stock is boosting to 4.48 with v14. Will try v145 see if any improvements or downgrades!
There were a lot of complaints with IF not being stable and memory issues.

Just noticed V14 (non-beta) now up
That will do very nicely thank you very much MSI.
Great results! What memory latency have you managed with latest bios? Lowest I've got with v145 is 63.1ns (3800GHz C15)
67.2ns with 32gb (4x8gb) 3800mhz C18, Gear Down Mode enabled, its G.Skill Trident Z Royal Silver (Hynix based)
V15 ABBA is up
Flashed it and testing, im not sure if im happy with it though, I may back flash to V14 again, after all im manually overclocking so the boost clocks fix doesnt bother me.
Either my FCLK is causing the system to crash at 1900mhz or my CPU is no longer stable at 4.375ghz, ive just backed it off to 4.35ghz to see if its stable there, but if it crashes out again, then its the FCLK and im going back to V14.
On a different note, im running the latest beta of HWInfo, on Bios V14 it was reading the voltages correctly, on this V15 bios, its not.
EDIT: Just passed 25 passes of IBT AVX standard without a crash at 4.35ghz, Ill have to give it 10 mins though to see if it decides to reboot itself, again, if it does its the FCLK, otherwise if its fine then the CPU was no longer stable at 4.375ghz.
Another new Beta Bios:
Version
7C35v172(Beta version)
Release Date
2019-11-07
File Size
14.76 MB
- Improved system boot up time.
- Improved PCI-E device compatibility.
Note: MSI do not recommend updating the BIOS unless it is necessary
What's your take on this board now that you've all had some time with it? Worth getting, hate it? Love it?
I'm thinking of pairing it with either the 3600X or the 3700X?
Cheers
Sweet, sounds great, thanks for the infoReally happy with mine to be honest. I’m currently running a 3900X on the latest beta 172 bios and the chip is boosting to just over 4600 on one core then I have several at 4500+.
All bios options are default but I am using the 1usmus power plan.
I have 4x8gb 8 Pack 3200 ram running at 3600 16 16 16 32 and it is absolutely rock solid! My main reason for choosing this board was the free AIO cooler which they ended up sending me 2!!
I can’t fault it, if I didn’t buy this one I would have gone for the Gigabyte Aurous Master.
Overall though I’m very impressed with the ACE.

hey sorry for dumb question but I have hunted and hunted elsewhere for a definitive answer and drawn blanks. How much of the ACE heatsinks and shrouds are plastic vs metal? Eg are the nvme covers metal? What about the VRM heatsink. The chipset fan surround and grill ? etc etc
the shroud over the io and sounchipset is plastic going down the left side of the mobo. Ssd heatsink are full metal shroud above the chipset fan is plastic
