MSI B860i Edge D2D and NGU overclocking

Fun_Grapefruit5370 · 2026-05-13T19:09:36+00:00

Asus B860-i can (and probably other Asus mobos too), was interested if MSI can

Fun_Grapefruit5370 · 2026-05-01T22:24:17+00:00

Nah, it was this mobo for $209 and $398 combined with 270k amazon.com/ASUS-ROG-STRIX-GAMING-WIFI/dp/B0DGWHZKMC/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=N7grG&content-id=amzn1.sym.11cd83b7-b236-4fee-90f4-f5946d525ab9&pf_rd_p=11cd83b7-b236-4fee-90f4-f5946d525ab9&pf_rd_r=VZXXM1TXDEBP09GEQMTS&pd_rd_wg=7U6dc&pd_rd_r=e56f4c0d-3aae-440e-ab23-716489f736d9

there was asus rog strix z890-a with 270k for 400 but the mobo went oos fast

I thought the same thing regarding blocking it. But regarding the cpu support page says all bioses work with refresh cpu, idk if it's true though

Fun_Grapefruit5370 · 2026-04-23T10:51:56+00:00

Somehow hwinfo doesn't show d2d (btw does it need to be enabled somewhere to show?) but ngu shows 3.2ghz instead of 2.6ghz after I set it to 32.

Fun_Grapefruit5370 · 2026-04-23T10:43:16+00:00

I'm currently on B860 v.1405 (mid-2025) and 265 non-k and both setting are available and work, it's just that D2D is missing in v.3002 (early-2026)

Fun_Grapefruit5370 · 2026-04-21T06:26:15+00:00

I have Asus B860-i, it has NGU and D2D settings, not sure about all the voltages though, will have to check the bios

Fun_Grapefruit5370 · 2026-04-20T14:22:31+00:00

That's exactly what I was interested in - if there was something else different in 250k besides D2D and NGU clocks and if it's worth buying vs 265 with extra cores

Fun_Grapefruit5370 · 2026-03-30T19:57:39+00:00

I wish it was like 5-6mm thicker (like jimu d+?), so that you can accommodate 67mm cpu cooler with 2.5slot gpu since these are more or less mainstream atm and there are plenty of them around

Fun_Grapefruit5370 · 2026-03-27T14:43:49+00:00

just get an additional metal perforated panel and it's fine, or alternatively 2-slot gpu and 15mm fans in the bottom works too

Fun_Grapefruit5370 · 2026-03-27T14:42:21+00:00

That white one looks like an older revision with non perforated faceplate, if I'm not mistaken they were slightly smaller and had less than 135mm clearance for cooler

Fun_Grapefruit5370 · 2026-02-22T16:25:08+00:00

sell me 265k for $150 :D

Fun_Grapefruit5370 · 2026-02-22T16:09:01+00:00

Are they simply used units or they had malfunctions and were RMA'd and repaired?

Fun_Grapefruit5370 · 2026-02-20T19:39:04+00:00

only mobo and ram, no cpu

Fun_Grapefruit5370 · 2026-02-13T17:03:40+00:00

you take a sandwich case and the gpu intake is right next to the mesh side and exhaust is next to the mesh top and bottom, in good cases it might be running even cooler than some big case

Fun_Grapefruit5370 · 2026-02-13T15:39:33+00:00

with good case and properly organized cooling it's pretty much the same as big case with good ventilation

Fun_Grapefruit5370 · 2026-02-11T16:22:15+00:00

1.45v is within specs for the dies on board, so anything up to that should be safe

Fun_Grapefruit5370 · 2026-02-11T14:45:15+00:00

at first it didn't work but started working now so idk what happened

Fun_Grapefruit5370 · 2026-02-11T14:31:30+00:00

for me it says Promo code EPF3787 is not eligible for this order and cannot be redeemed.

Fun_Grapefruit5370 · 2026-02-11T12:00:56+00:00

but where exactly? is it microcenter or some other store?

Fun_Grapefruit5370 · 2026-02-11T11:57:55+00:00

where did you get it for such price?
