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

I did all that and nothing worked, then someone mentioned that he also had the same mb and no picture with dp, and he tried hdmi and that worked, so I tried it aswell and now it`s all good, makes no sense but that`s how it goes! Not sure why it didnt boot about 4 in 5 tries tho, that cant be dp issue.

Which gpu are you running?
 
Is anyone running a X570 Tomahawk with a 5900X or any Zen 3 CPU and not having various problems? I've got an unopened one sat here but after reading about the issues a lot of people seem to be having with Zen 3 on MSI boards (not booting with memory > 3200MHz, laggy bios, all core boost not working properly, etc.) I'm somewhat regretting my purchase.

Mine is working fine with my 5800x.
Mouse in bios can get a bit laggy occasionally but otherwise no major issues as yet.
What I cant fathom (and this is likely my lack of experience with recent AMD cpu's) is why when I set a negative vcore bios offset it appears to disable auto boost.

5900X and X570 Tomahawk here. It's fine from what I can tell...bar one issue...since enabling XMP, every other boot it seems like it decides it doesn't like the RAM. Long hold on the power button until it switches off, then powering on again and it will be just fine...RAM is Corsair Dominator 3600MHz.

Curse of the early adopter. I'm sure MSI will fix it with a BIOS update soon...
 
7C84v14 1.1.0.0 here. Most recent listed on MSI site.

Had v13 on it via flashback before it arrived but couldn't get it to post. Used flashback again with the v14 and it seemed to work, but as above, having issues with XMP every other reboot...
 
From what I've read the x570 tomahawk is doing better then the ace, unify and creation as regards to memory, not seeing as many reports of issues has them 3, so seem I made a good choice of motherboard nearly got the unify but I'm guessing in a week or 2 that will be fine too.
 
Just got mine today, Does the motherboard come with up-to-date BIOS if u bought it recently? - will i need to Flash it to the latest Bios 1st for it to work with the AMD 5900X?

It was that price when I got it.
Sorry, I have no idea if its dual or single rank.

If you get time, I would appreciate it if you could check with cpuz.

Is anyone running 4 sticks of 8 Pack Ripped ram? The 3600mhz cl14 stuff? Wondering how the board copes with 4 stick and overclocking.
If the Crucial isn't instick soon thats my second option.

I've got a set of 4x8gb sticks, a quad kit that is single rank, 8 pack stuff too and got these running at 3800MHz @ CL14 IF 1900MHz. EDIT: 1.5V daily too.

Yes.

I set mine up Friday. First Ryzen.
Bios flashed ok, had a 2gb stock fat 32 no mbr, light on stock flashed briefly, but didnt install.
Had another 8gb fat 32 mbr, flashed and installed with that one.
Os installed to a pcie 4 nvme from USB fine.

The only difference to any other build I've done, was I had to flash the bios before it would post.

Are you running your memory at stock (3200)? I think most of the problems reported seem to arise with memory > 3200, even quite a few people who were running fine > 3200 with Zen 2 seem to be reporting issues after upgrading to a Zen 3 CPU on their MSI boards. Not only failing to boot, but if it does boot having stability issues.

Hopefully if there is a problem it'll get fixed with future BIOS updates.

Yeah ran it at base 2133 during install etc. Then turned xmp on to 3200.
Haven't tried to oc it yet. Trying to figure out if I should go for speed or timings (assume I can't have both, and will have to sacrifice one for the other) not experienced with ram or ryzen oc.

Ran thaiphoon, and dram calculator. But theres a value I can't find anywhere to complete the list. So still reading and trying to learn.
