    MSI apparently have an issue with current BIOS which limits RAM to 3200mhz. I have one but I dont have a Ryzen 5000 yet to test it…

    • Tiigger on 10/11/2020 - 17:37

      Same here - looks like I will be waiting to next week to test it out.

        BIOS update will most likely fix this down the line. Based on the research I have done this is the one motherboard I am aiming to get as it provides the best VRM in this price range and their temperatures are very good for sustained high usage. Basically the thermals & VRM in this motherboard are comparable to the $550 to $700 motherboards.

        I am not in a hurry though since Zen 3 is out of stock right now, so will get it on later deals. Good price, cheapest it has ever been is $300, usual price is around $360.

    • scuderiarmani on 10/11/2020 - 18:44

      Thanks, just bought one today. Would you suggest a previous bios if just running a 3600 with 3600 DDR4?

      • gabos on 10/11/2020 - 19:06

        Pretty sure its only an issue with zen3 Ryzen. My 3700x runs my RAM fine at 3600mhz

      • ATangk on 10/11/2020 - 19:13

        3600 has no issues with the current bios.

    • phabez on 10/11/2020 - 19:34

      I've read that the Tomahawk is unaffected by that problem, though I also am awaiting my new processor so I can't verify.

  • ln28909 on 10/11/2020 - 17:42

    This one doesn't have the clear cmos button so bit annoying if you like to oc

    • scrimshaw on 10/11/2020 - 17:43

      Protip: Wire up the case reset switch to the BIOS clear jumper. Most people never use reset button anyway.

      • ln28909 on 10/11/2020 - 17:49

        Ah that's smart, cause yeah I always have to open my case to clear cmos when I overclock ram

      • AEKaBeer on 10/11/2020 - 18:13

        Except when a family member hits the reset button out of habbit, when some outdated pos software they won't move away from has random freeze. Sorry PTSD…

        • ATangk on 10/11/2020 - 19:13

          You surely will reach a point when your ram timings are dialed in. Then you can rewire it back to the reset switch or possibly just unplug it altogether.

        • ThatsCheap on 11/11/2020 - 08:30

          Surely there's profile save available on the MSI boards, I have been using them with Asus boards since 2016. This will be my first MSI board in the future. Once you have everything set and stable and all your settings dialed in the BIOS, just save profile (should be able to save multiple profiles and name them). These profiles don't usually reset after a clear cmos. So after accidental clicks, you should be able to just load up your profile and that should tune in all the RAM timings, overclock, HDD priorities, etc.

    Still remember when it was on sale for $300 during the prime day

  • Bappy on 10/11/2020 - 18:31

    Not a big 'fan' or active cooling (the irony)…

    I hope MSI would release a revised Tomahawk X570 board with passive cooling like Asus did

    • mckayver on 10/11/2020 - 18:46

      I'm assuming you don't have a x570 because you can't even hear the chipset cooling fan on my gigabyte master. You can at boot for a couple of seconds but that's 100% speed to blow the dust build up.

      • Bappy on 10/11/2020 - 18:57
        +1

        Hei that was not my point, a chipset cooling fan will always prone to failure (has been proven before)

        Anyway - glad to hear your boards fan is very quieter, your specific board looks very nice and has some nice features too

        • ATangk on 10/11/2020 - 19:15

          If you don’t use the chipset lanes aggressively you won’t need the fan. It doesn’t spin until you need it, and if you’re only using one PCIe from the CPU and the M.2 from the CPU, then wouldn’t the chipset not be used at all?

          • mckayver on 10/11/2020 - 19:52

            @ATangk: Yep and to honest I don't think my chipset fan has ever had to spin up above idle and believe me I've tried to max it. It's a ball bearing fan and rated for like 9 years so no need for concern. Dar8auer says in a video that you don't even need the fan as the heat sink is enough to cool it.

            • Bappy on 10/11/2020 - 20:29

              @mckayver: Kinda agree for your board mate - as you have a very decent board to be honest.
              Unfortunately some of the 'cheaper' X570 boards will have this fan failed in coming years for sure…

              I am really liking the ROG Crosshair viii Dark Hero though, they have replaced the fan with a massive heatsink and everything looks very promising.
              But its damn expensive too, I can get two of these Tomahawks for one Dark Hero, maybe if I win the lotto then I might get 5950x and the Dark Hero LOL

            • ATangk on 10/11/2020 - 20:52

              @mckayver: There are certain boards, this one included, that dont spin the PWM fan at all when not needed. So it'll be silent as the rest of the PC if not needed.

              • mckayver on 10/11/2020 - 21:29

                @ATangk: You set the fan curve how you want in bios. I leave mine at stock and it's always spinning and it's silent. I think the fan sits about 30%.

                • ATangk on 10/11/2020 - 21:29

                  @mckayver: Im saying different manufacturers can have the fan completely off.

                  • mckayver on 10/11/2020 - 21:35

                    @ATangk: Yeah all x570 chipset board fans can be turned off.

                    • ATangk on 10/11/2020 - 21:47

                      @mckayver: ASRock and Asus cant. At least as of May this year.

  • Pace210 on 10/11/2020 - 20:04

    This is a good mobo, priced at 260 or less I say go for it.

    • ATangk on 10/11/2020 - 20:52

      300 is a great price already, it hasnt been released that long and has VRM's equivalent of a $500/600 Mobo.

  • Awsam on 10/11/2020 - 20:11

    Cheers, got one. Now to wait for the black friday cpu prices
