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

Cheers.

I got my replacement board - and immediately suffered the same random blue-screens i had before - and the BIOS reports it as something like:
7C841.20

Which I guess is equivalent to 7C84v12 - and so the CPU at least is properly supported.
 
Just got my Tomahawk, the box states supports ryzen 3000 and ryzen 5000 series. Does that mean the bios has been updated on the latest boards to fit the 5600x straight in without updating it first, anyone know?

Possibly, you would have to build it and see and if not then update the bios using bios flashback.

My much older box, does not state that.
Chances are good.

I think the shipped version is on the white label (the one with the S/N-number etc).
Mine says 911-7C84-001 and I think that means it is shipped with the first bios version. "911-7C84-005" seems to be a thing when I google it. Maybe that's a hardware revision of the actual motherboard and not the bios. I know old motherboards used to have the bios version on the sticker with the "unique" serial numbers etc.
 
I've just upgraded the cpu to a 5800x, had to update the bios to the latest stable as I was running (quite happily) on the original bios release, but that didn't support the 5800x.
All well and good so far, had to adjust all the memory settings again for my 8-Pack, and thats all fine. Everything seems stable and fast enough, zero issues in fact :)

I was just wondering what these PBO settings do? And which is best if any, to use.

I think mine is on auto also with the latest beta bios, I'll have a play at Undervolting and whatnot another day :)
 
So I tried Enhanced mode 2 just for laughs and performance went down slightly. :rolleyes:

Back on Auto and my 5800x runs all core at 4.5Ghz and Boost to just over 4.8Ghz.
Think I'll leave it at that and not worry about any further tweaks, it all just works fine, and my tight memory timings are stable just like before.
