MSI releases new BIOS for Ryzen 7000 series

MSI announced that it will release a new BIOS for Ryzen 7000 series CPUs. MSI said that it maintains close cooperation with AMD and follows its official technical guidance to provide users with a more secure and optimized hardware environment.

According to AMD’s design specifications, the Ryzen 7000X3D series CPUs do not fully support overclocking or excessive voltage adjustment, including CPU Ratio and CPU Vcore voltage. However, AMD EXPO technology can optimize memory performance by appropriately increasing the CPU SoC voltage to ensure system stability at higher memory frequencies.

The AMD team has recommended in the report that the CPU Vcore voltage of the Ryzen 7000X3D series CPUs be set within a safe range to reduce the potential CPU damage caused by improper overclocking or overvoltage. For safety reasons, MSI also limited the CPU SoC voltage of the regular Ryzen 7000 series CPUs.

MSI strongly recommends users who use Ryzen 7000 series CPUs update the BIOS and provide sufficient cooling for the CPU, such as using a 280 or higher specification integrated water cooling radiator, to achieve optimal performance.

In addition to the recent hot issue of Ryzen 7000X3D series CPUs suddenly burning out, MSI’s new BIOS also has another important update feature, which is to support DDR5 memory with a single capacity of 24GB and 48GB. Earlier this year, major motherboard manufacturers released BIOS for Intel’s 600/700 series motherboards, allowing motherboards with 4 DIMMs to increase the maximum memory capacity from 128GB to 192GB, and motherboards with 2 DIMMs to increase the maximum memory capacity from 64GB to 96GB.

Last month, there were reports that AMD was preparing AGESA 1.0.0.7 microcode for the new BIOS, so that manufacturers could provide new firmware for AM5 platform motherboards in April, providing the same support. With the release of the new BIOS, MSI also fulfilled its promise.
