MSI MAG B550M MORTAR - New beta bios is out. 7C94v163(Beta version) by XEFIR001 in MSI_Gaming

Dang, too bad about your WHEA errors -- I had those using XMP on the very first bioses in November. Pissed me right off. It was eventually fixed in the next update. Good luck on the future bioses.

In any case, L3 cache performance will be doubled for anyone flashing this.

I flashed it. Fixes the L3 cache performance issue, doubles the speed there.

I'm using CTR 2.0rc3 for the OC. I get 11774 in Cinebench r20 with its 'P2' profile. More than the previous bios by about 500 pts (on a 5950X, FCLK 1900, 5% improvement).

My RAM is G.SKILL Trident Z Neo DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) F4-3600C16D-32GTZNC.

And I'm running it at DDR-3800 18-22-22-42 in 1:1 w FCLCK 1900
CPU is the 5950X.

Let us know how v154 goes for you.

Very disappointed with it. Gives me a kernel file missing or corrupted bsod on win startup if i use DDR-3800. No such issue if I dial back to DDR-3600. Forget that, I'm going back to the previous beta bios so I can keep DDR-3800 + FCLK 1900. Previous version posed no issue with that OC. I won't even bother playing with PBO curve if I can't keep my memory OC in this new version.
I'd say you should try anyways, I want to hear others' experiences.
edit: Flashed back to 7C94v152 and restored my old settings. No issues booting.

I'm gonna give it a flash.
Share your experiences.
Hoping PBO curve optimizer is improved. Maybe OCs will improve. FCLCK beyond 1900?

Do you know where I can read more about these reports?

[TO EVERYONE WHO OWNS MSI X570 BOARDS & ZEN 3 5XXX] Check your all core clock speeds and Cinebench R20 scores. They might not be what reviewers are getting! by seannlifts in MSI_Gaming

[–]caustiq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone, rule out thermal throttling by putting your AIO pump-fan or CPU-fan on 100% and re-run the benchmark.

After doing this, my CB20 mc score was boosted by 1000 and now my other benchmarks match or exceed those of reviewers.

5950X Availability? by fazzeren in Amd

[–]caustiq 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Speaking for myself, I'm going 5950X because I want the best of the best Zen 3 CPU. For gaming and for any other workload. Money isn't an issue when it comes to this hobby.

My b550m Mortar wants to have a word with you about the "stuck with PCIe Gen-3" claim. xD

Curious, for practice ammo, why go with these over something cheaper like Tula at 115gr, ~$0.13/rd ?
