[MSI] B450 Tomahawk Update
Hello everyone,
We understand many of you have had issues booting and flashing the Beta BIOS for various motherboards, especially in the B450 line. As a PC builder myself, I understand what it is like to have spent money on expensive components and not be able to use them. This is frustrating to everyone including us, even more so when our test boards are playing nicely making it hard to replicate these problems. I personally apologize for the lack of communication regarding fixes for these issues. This was mostly the case because up until now there has not been much information of substance that we can provide to you. Trust me when I say this subreddit and social media avenues are monitored daily and your issues are being passed along to our engineering team.
Our BIOS team is working very hard to release stable BIOS versions for all motherboards compatible with Ryzen 3rd gen processors. Please understand that this is no easy task especially for so many models, and is certainly not as simple as copy/pasting code. We estimate that new BIOS with the new AGESA will be released closer to the end of this month for most board models.
It is clear that the largest community concern at this time is for the B450 Tomahawk. Our BIOS team has provided another Beta BIOS v.191 for the B450 Tomahawk which is still undergoing testing. As a disclaimer, this is still a work in progress so some features like XMP may not be working correctly with some RAM models and stability is not 100% guaranteed. So far from our testing, we were able to boot fine with this version (though the same could be said for the previous one) using an AMD RYZEN 5 3600 but YMMV. This is definitely not the final version so any feedback is greatly appreciated. Hopefully more of you are able to at least boot your systems with this.
