MSI MPG x870e Carbon WiFi Owners

Is there an issue with the 4090 and this board?

In the BIOS i get some screen rendering issues with my ASUS TUF 4090 using display port to my screen, using the onboard via HDMI its fine.

My 4090 has never had these issues with 2x Asus and 2x MSI Intel based boards though.

That’s strange. Is it only in BIOS?

Yup, only in the BIOS.

No issues anywhere else,

There are no issues with my GPU, I've tested it funnily enough on my Z790 Carbon WiFi /14900k setup

I found this post on Reddit. Perhaps a similar situation, with a different board and GPU though. Might be worth trying different cables? Reported fixed for this user.

I have this board arriving this week. I've a 7800x3d now but will eventually switch to a 9800x3d.

What memory kits are people running?

32gb or 64gb. Thank you.

I'm currently using Corsair Dominator Titanium 64GB
30-36-36-74
Part No is CMP64GX5M2B6000Z30

No issues at all with it so far

Just a heads up, MSI support have provided me with a link to an un-published BETA BIOS,
Just testing it now to see if its fixed my mouse/kb issues and also the graphical issues

Will share the link in a bit once tested if any good.

 

[Datamonkey]

Ok Beta BIOS linked to me by MSI Support.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PPPfT26bXIYkf9gnlVq1j2-5NMHuT591/view?usp=sharing

BIOS is dated E7E49AMSI.1A1D dated 4th December 2024

This is a try at your own risk obviously, its resolved my mouse and keyboard issue, can now use both wireless devices in the BIOS, but not the graphical issues.

New question, didn't notice this before,
After enabling PBO does Game Boost get enabled automatically?
In this BIOS it states enabled by PBO.

Thank you. That's what I've gone for. ETA early Jan, nobody seems to have stock.

Can there be issue with Dual Rank vs. Single Rank RAM? Is single "better / faster" or is there no diff now?

 

[Datamonkey]

Dual is actually better and faster from what I remember and the CMP64GX5M2B6000Z30 kit is dual rank.

I could well be wrong, a lot more knowledgeable peeps on here than me on RAM

Just to add, the above kit is on the MSI approved list for the mobo.

I enabled PBO with the settings posted in here previously and it didn't automatically enable Game Boost for me. It's still set to off on the Home Screen.

See that is what I thought also, but with the newer BIOS its been enabled.

Going to disable it now.

Have you checked to see if PBO is still enabled on manual, and not set to Auto now? As soon as i turned off Game Boost, it set PBO to auto removing the settings id also applied that were posted in here.

 

[Datamonkey]

Hmm, yeah as soon as I put back in the settings posted in here CPU Game Boost is back on.

Yeah I've just rebooted to have a quick look. Gameboost off, PBO still on. So I'm guessing that's been changed with the newer beta BIOS you're using.

 

[Datamonkey]

Yeah certainly looks that way.
If i turn off game boost it reverts my PBO settings. If I go and set them as per here, it then re-enables game boost.

Hi all, I am having an issue with this board. Often, when my system wakes from sleep I get a crash (blue screen). This only happens when the Wi-Fi is enabled in the BIOS though. Also, sometimes when I boot into windows the wifi adapter does not show in device manager even though it's enabled, other times it does show and then disappears. I suspect there is an issue here. I am running the latest BIOS and drivers and I have both power connectors hooked up. If I disable wifi in BIOS I have no issues. Has anyone else noticed this issue?

UPDATE: Seems to be a known issue: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threads/no-wi-fi-mpg-x870e-carbon-wifi.404670/

Would be interested to hear if anyone else if having this problem.
