MSI begin releasing BIOS update for AMD Ryzen 7000 Series CPUs

MSI has been in close contact with the AMD and has referred to their official technical guidance to provide users with a safer and more optimized hardware environment. To achieve this goal, MSI will release a new list of BIOS updates specifically for the AMD Ryzen 7000 series CPU.

According to AMD’s design specifications, the Ryzen 7000X3D series CPU does not fully support overclocking or overvoltage adjustments, including CPU ratio and CPU Vcore voltage. However, AMD EXPO technology can be used to optimize memory performance by appropriately increasing the CPU SoC voltage to ensure system stability when operating at higher memory frequencies.

In the confirmation report from AMD team, it is recommended that the maximum limit of the CPU SoC voltage should be set at a safe range for Ryzen 7000X3D series CPU to mitigate potential CPU damage caused by inappropriate overclocking or overvoltage.  With the same safety concern, we’ll also adjust the CPU SoC voltage for the regular Ryzen 7000 series CPU.

For the new BIOS release, MSI will prioritize this limitation on the CPU SoC voltage. We strongly recommend that users using Ryzen 7000 series CPU update their BIOS and use sufficient CPU cooling, such as 280mm or higher AIO cooling, to achieve optimal performance.
