They have very little submenus so generally you just have to scroll and you'll eventually find the setting you're looking for, and for overclocking all the more important settings are generally front and center. The Digi Power or whatever they call it menu is where you set the LLC and the other VRM related things (switching frequency, protection limits, etc.), and everything below that should be relatively self explanatory (The VCore option sets the VCore as well as the VCore mode, E core L2 voltage sets the E core voltage, etc.).īasically, just head into their BIOS and look around. Next menu down is all the voltage settings. Below that is where you have all the memory settings, if you want to do memory overclocking that's where you'll hang out frequently, though if you do just want to enable XMP that's where you do it as well. The menu below that is usually for BCLK adjustments, though this does vary depending on the board so yours may be slightly different (these instructions are based off my Unify-X, though MSI BIOSes look very similar across all boards). The advanced CPU menu has the settings for disabling C States, setting power limits, disabling E cores (if you want to do that), things like that. The first tab in the OC menu is all the CPU options, so this is the ratios, ratio modes, ratio limits per core, things like that. To be clear, I still think ASUS's is better overall, once I get used to it MSI's BIOS is always the slowest of all the manufacturer's for me to navigate when trying to overclock, but generally it has the least aggressive learning curve out of any manufacturer. Stuff is setup differently with it compared to an ASUS board, though IMO MSI's layout is easier to figure out than ASUS's if you're not used to it (I'm talking haven't used a board in over a year and trying to figure out where certain settings are and trying to dial in a quick and dirty OC). It does have some minor issues with it (for example, it resets the LLC to level 1 if you try to tweak VCore, and it doesn't have access to a couple important voltages), plus I've only ever used it on their high end boards so it might not work on their lower end stuff, but for an in OS utility it's one of the best, super light interface and super quick to navigate.Įverything you would want from MSI's BIOS for overclocking is just in the overclocking tab of the advanced menu. If you want an in Windows OS tweak tool for an MSI board, Dragon Power is generally the better bet.
Personally I'm not that big a fan of XTU, it has the tendency to break stuff on my whenever I try to use it.
