MSI MEG X570 ACE BIOS Options

[empty sable]

I couldn't find any discussion about this, so I thought I'd ask here: How come popular settings under advanced overclocking are hidden? In particular, I would like to tune tREFI on my RAM to get better performance, but even though I know the timing exists, it's invisible. Would MSI un-hide this in a future Agesa update?

i wouldn't expect any more BIOS updates for X570 unless something is REALLY broken, the only likely update is the secure boot certs as it's an old platform

AGESA 1.2.0.11 for AM4 boards are starting to show up this week, but hidden options will stay hidden as this BIOS only fixes security vulnerabilities. So you might have to resort to Ryzen Master or Smokeless_UMAF to tweak tREFI ...

The last update in late 2025 was TPM stuff. It was left on beta

I'm on Linux. No chance. They should just include AM4 in openSIL

Or do something to improve the BIOS overall, since they're rereleasing the Ryzen 7 5800 X3D if the rumors are true. It's not legacy if it's still in production.

[lofty zephyr]

beta just means it hasnt been through full QA, MSI leave older platforms like that because they're older platforms

[empty sable]

Hard to see it as an "older" platform when a lot of the components cost more than AM5

[lofty zephyr]

i mean

it factually is 🥲

[empty sable]

Perhaps, AMD and MSI should reconsider that classification

I'd argue openSIL for AM4 is the best compromise

The AMD X570 motherboard chipset was officially released and launched on July 7, 2019, alongside the 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen desktop processors (Ryzen 3000 series) and the Radeon RX 5700 series graphics cards

that's pretty damn old

And even so, it's an absolute workhorse. Look what I did with my RAM tuning: That's 4 DIMMs and 8 ranks on the X570 daisy-chain

And my RAM has CXMT C-dies, some of the lousiest in the game

Here is the before/after

[lofty zephyr]

i used my old X99 board for 10 years

i didnt expect BIOS updates 6 or 7 years into the prodcuts life

[empty sable]

I would feel the same if this weren't the RAMpocalypse

[lofty zephyr]

good news

DDR4 is rising, especially because samsung are closing production lines because a $340k bonus for workers isnt enough apparently

[empty sable]

Then, we must demand openSIL for AM4 💁‍♂️

Because I ain't buying Samsung's excuses. Prices are higher than ever. They are making money

The B550 VDH has AGESA 1.2.0.11 in the current beta but it isn't documented. Has an mid April build date but dropped a few days ago.

[empty sable]

IDK if that does me any good. My chipset is B450. But still interesting

Sadly, that VDH is sort of ugly compared to my ACE

[grim lotus]

I have had an A-Pro for 5 years now in my living room. My office has a B650e. I doubt openSIL will get backported to 600 and 800 series. It'll launch with AM6 most likely ...

AM5 from my research
