Just a thought, but you could try the HDMI out on the back I/O panel and see if that signal prompts the TV to show the BIOS in the correct ratio/sizeHey,
So here ya go,

The image would usually fill the screen, you can see numbers on the right on the black space also.
So top, bottom, left and right sides are missing, when you load in its fine, its when you start to drill down into menus.
Wonder if its because I'm using an Monitor that's essentially a TV The Gigabyte FO48U.
Never had this issue with the Intel based MSI Z790 MPG Carbon Wi-Fi
Rather predictably it does sweet FA. Which was what I thought considering there's nothing really left to tune once you start getting into custom ram sub-timings:Let us know how you get on,
Also has anyone got an overclock settings their using they would share?
No experience of overclocking an AMD chip since the tbred days
Yep, definitely think "latency killer" is tweaking the sub-timings. When I disabled it it set my custom timings in that area back to Auto. I'll maybe switch back to plain expo profile at some point and see which ones it's tweaking. Likely tREFI at least since that has one of the biggest impacts.

FWIW, I’m using a HDMI cable to monitor during setup, no GPU installed.

Not a bad shout, but I'm starting to tinker with overclocking, so don't want to be removing my GPU changing cables and such each time popping into the BIOS,
Will see what's what when I test with my mates motherboard later today or over the weekend
You can change the BIOS to activate the on chip GPU first. Then it _should_ become the default BIOS output display channel.Not a bad shout, but I'm starting to tinker with overclocking, so don't want to be removing my GPU changing cables and such each time popping into the BIOS,

Assuming that it does display on your TV correctly, you could then use another TV port for your PCIE GPU.
I've never done this so I'm not sure how Windows display management interpret this once windows is booted
Aaaahhhh I want to register the board with MSI so I can request the missing thermistor cable, product registration requires a "CHK" number, which is apparently on the board serial sticker, which is on the back of the board
If anyone reads this and hasn't installed their board yet, can they see what the CHK value is (3 characters) on the serial sticker? I'm assuming this is release version specific, like a Dell support code, so it should be the same across all these release boards.
OCUK support/customer services are really great, they wen't hunting for a replacement after MSI suggested I would need to return the whole board and have another sent out... DPD next day too, very happy.,

Nice. I found the code on the side of the 24 pin power connector.
Don’t forget to carry out the MSI shout out review of your board to get around £25 worth of steam credit.

I upgraded to this board not long ago, glad to be back on MSI. Is the extra 8 pin power connector needed at the bottom of the board ? So far i am not using it and system is fine.
At least the wifi/bluetooth solution takes it's power from this, probably more peripherals like USB-4 and it might provide additional juice to the lower PCIE slot if you pop in a hungry card.

There seems to be a few beta bios builds, atm. Safe to run or wait for official release ? Not in any rush to update the bios mind.
Soldato
They seem to be safe enough,
If using a 9800x3d best way to unlock the performance atm.
Edited just to add, id only use the ones posted on the official MSI website itself, there are other BETAs floating around which I wouldn't touch.

1A1A 21st Nov is rock solid for me so far.
As mentioned, I wouldn't go anywhere apart from MSI for the BIOS update.

Can second the 1A1A Im also using this one.
Probably no need if you don't want that stuff, you've got PCIE5 with it so no probs on future GPU cards, but tbh I'd be amazed if the 5090 can even saturate PCIE4 x16
Edit: just as an example, the perf difference for a 4090 using PCIE4 x16 vs PCIE4 x8 is 2%. But the x670E is PCIE5 anyway, so it's rather a moot point

Of course, only via their website, I would trust bios. Not running a x3d chip atm, so I will stick to non beta builds for now. I need a fresh installation of my OS to be honest, and time to run Windows 11 for the first time. Some games won't load for some reason.

Anybody have a small guide to how to do a 200mhz overclock? I'm not familiar with the BIOS so much, I can see how to set PBO enabled (but there are many other PBO presets, enhanced modes, thermal point etc), I can see where to set the cpu speed to 54.00, I could set a manual voltage, I can't find the curve optimiser, and don't know if I should change anything else.
PBO enable and CB23 is working but temps are 10 deg higher than stock, now up to 88 deg, so will disable it until I know how to undervolt correctly.
Had some shocking CB23 and 24 results, until I set prio to high and now have good results, panic over!

Would also be interested in a noobs guide for this board ta.
