Hello.

I'm looking for a few things in my msi mobo. I can't seem to understand first of all.
1: Where is the different XMP and EXPO? There is for sure XMP. but does msi have something different for EXPO?

2: Eco mode on Bios settings dont seem to exist where the internet tells me it should. (does not exist in my PBO)

3: What is the difference between doing overclocking in the settings and overclocking in the OC section?

so far. those are my biggest unknowns that the internet tells me, but its not true. hahah.

thank you so much!!!

i will still get you picture

XMP and EXPO are both profiles that change a number of settings as part of a profile that was tested and deemed stable for that kit of RAM that you are using.

I see there is a high efficiency mode. Is that eco? It’s behind the drop down

#

In the xmp pic

#

Everywhere says the eco mode is in pbo

Ah, I see what you are referring to. This is what happens when motherboard manufacturers take liberties with branding and labels. Notice how there is an A in front of XMP. That just means it is for AMD.

#

XMP or Extreme Memory Profiles, is an Intel technology that allows you to change multiple memory settings, whereas EXPO is the AMD equivalent. Both methods enable higher memory speeds simply by selecting a profile in your motherboard BIOS, providing you have the correct supported RAM.

Is that why the eco mode isn’t the same? Hahah

Totally.

Like you put eco mode on and “this” will happen?

south wind
#

i'm used to doing it on other MOBOs. just got msi this time and its so backwards

#

So you are trying to find a setting that will undervolt your CPU from the typical base voltage?

south wind
#

yes. besides the AMD OC. I want to be able to undervolt, but use all the ways in which to do so. So that i can go through 1 by 1

#

not just setting the voltage

#

or does it matter?
