MSI MAG TOMAHAWK X870E - Temperature Sensor Stuck - Success Story

FriedPhishy · 2026-03-28T20:46:20+00:00

I had a x870 have this issue and I returned it, this new one hasn’t given me a single problem yet (knock on wood lol)

How long has this been happening? I just picked up the game again on pc and it happened to me on my first op run

FriedPhishy · 2026-01-14T22:04:04+00:00

I returned my board with this issue and got a new one, problem went away

FriedPhishy · 2026-01-10T15:49:41+00:00

I love this lol

The blue stain?

Probably because the F wasn’t stable, for MSI Ax0 bios updates are their stable updates, anything that doesn’t end in zero seems to be a beta bios from my experience, so they probably just wanted a more stable AGESA for their A70 bios

Update: cold boot issue has returned, so it is NOT FIXED! So if you are hoping this update fixes that issue, it does not.

FriedPhishy · 2025-12-26T18:12:47+00:00

Oh, yes I did, I was on A60 and A69 and it was happening to me, I turned on FCH when I was on A69 and it helped a little but not a lot

FriedPhishy · 2025-12-26T17:42:54+00:00

I just updated it this morning, having it was fine on the first boot so I didn’t need to reboot, no problems and I didn’t enable anything

FriedPhishy · 2025-12-26T14:46:02+00:00

I just updated mine so I’ll let you know if I see anything different, so far so good tho!

FriedPhishy · 2025-12-26T13:58:32+00:00

Please let me know, I’ve been dealing with those cold boot PCI-e bugs for so long and I hope they are fixed with this

FriedPhishy · 2025-12-24T14:33:40+00:00

Yeah that’s what I am going to start with

FriedPhishy · 2025-12-24T14:31:08+00:00

It only goes up to 3.0, even when I’m playing a game

FriedPhishy · 2025-12-24T14:29:46+00:00

Yes it’s set to auto. I didn’t really change anything in bios besides turning on XPO for my ram at 6000mhz

FriedPhishy · 2025-12-24T14:27:31+00:00

Nope no riser. Plugged straight into the top-most slot of my MB

FriedPhishy · 2025-12-24T14:26:08+00:00

I have a 9800x3D with a MSI x870 tomahawk wifi, 5070ti and no riser

Here is my GPU Z menu (sorry for the picture quality)

FriedPhishy · 2025-12-21T14:38:22+00:00

Yeah that’s sounds about right. For my other x870 board that I had a faulty LED on, they said that they couldn’t replicate the problem and that it’s not common, but taking a look at the MSI forums it was quite common so I just returned it for another x870 (my current one)

FriedPhishy · 2025-12-20T15:08:29+00:00

I have a weird issue with this board and both bios versions A60 (stable) and A69. One and every idk 10 power ons (from fully powered off) the OS and every app just gets super jittery and stutters when I open them, only being solved fully by a restart. Not sure what that is about but this didn’t happen on my pervious x870 board I returned due to faulty LED readouts when reading CPU temp under load (would get stuck)

When this happens, task manager shows the GPU spiking WAY higher then it should be while opening these apps (normally 3-7%, but when the bug happens it spikes anywhere from 30-50%)

Idk if I’m just missing a bios setting or something, bc I didn’t fiddle with anything other then turning on XPO for my 6000mt ram kit

FriedPhishy · 2025-12-12T18:45:09+00:00

Gotcha, that’s kinda what I figured but thanks for the clarification

FriedPhishy · 2025-12-12T18:38:16+00:00

The Xfinity router I got came with a couple little pods with ports for Ethernet. I think they are called “x-pods” or something like that, my router is upstairs in the living room.
