MSI MS-16F2 Barebone Bios Updates

[sparker]

3.0P seems glitchy to me. can't really put my finger on it, but it's just off. One specific thing is MSI Afterburner would just crash, I'm not even using it to overclock... Just monitoring temps. After rolling back to 3.05 it hasn't done that again.

By the way, is there any chance of changing the splash screen on 3.05?

sparker msi after burner is working ok to me.

3.05 was white and that can't changed!


When you say glitchy what do you mean? I haven't had a issue and i used the same file. Try loading Setup Defaults after the reboot or cleaning the CMOS some times the EC and NVRAM gets glitched!

@hacktrix2006 - I installed the BIOS today and while I have full EVGA Precision (MSI Afterburner) support, the microcode update is again back to 1A, i.e. back to the original microcode. Is there perhaps a BIOS setting that I am missing, or should the BIOS just apply the microcode automatically? As flashing is inherently dangerous (although almost always safe), I don't want to flash over and over. Is there anything to think that BIOS then the EC flash would cause the microcode issues? Therefore, would a reflash of the BIOS only fix this issue, or are the two not linked?

Right no panic i have it now working on Mircocode 1B. Updates are ment to be at point 1 will update the above files with the new set. So re downloaded when the first post states Updated!

[hacktrix2006]

Right the Files on 30P have been reuploaded and updated with the 1b microcode working correctly please can all download and reflash.

Just flashed the reuploaded 30P, no issues.

Also, I found out in this thread--The ThrottleStop Guide--that the turbo limits in the BIOS don't actually write to MSR 0x1AD.

I checked 305, and it seems that it also had turbo limit options.

Sweet nice one 5482741 with the link to throotlestop downloaded it but can't get it to play dice.

Can you verify that the Microcode in CPU info is that of 1B please

[5482741]

Microcode Revision is "Not Loaded".

Probably because it's an ES.

ok thanks for that bud.
