I was just wondering if anyone has any info if MSI will make a more robust bios after 1.5 that will support overclocking of CPU voltages. As it is I can only get 2.8 GHZ on my phenom 9850 because of the inability to up CPU voltages.My friend has the newest ASUS board which has a much better bios and he's been able to overclock his 9850 to 3.36 stable with almost identical hardware to mine.
If you are refering to the newest 790GX boards: they will simply overclock the CPU higher than a 790FX board will, because of the ACC (Advanced Clock Calibration) function of the new SB750 southbridge. Not really a matter of BIOS options, but a matter of a newer chipset...
You would probably match the results of the new ASUS board using the new MSI board, the DKA790GX Platinum for example...

I would probably consider not being able to turn the TLB errata fix off a problem. Going from the original BIOS (v1.0 I think) to 1.3 lowered my computers performance by about 10%ish. This includes FPS in games and all 3DMark scores.
Now it could be something totally different causing the lowered performance as I do not know when MSI added the "fix". I never run virtualization programs so the fix does only harm in terms of performance.
I did ask MSI about the posibility to disable TLB fix in BIOS and this what they answered:

KA92 Platinum Bios Update

Hello. I have built a gaming system for a customer, and after a few weeks of use, it now will not consistantly pass the post test. I say consistantly, because 1 out of 7 or 10 times it will boot and then work fine, however most of the time it will fail the post with 1 long and 8 short peeps, which I have already researched. All parts were new, and nothing has been changed on this system. Yet the problem happened. I have cleared the CMOS, and removed the memory and have cleared all power through the system and still the problem persists. I believe that the bios version is 1.0 and the newest is 1.4. I was hoping that someone could provide me with clear instructions for doing the bios update to version 1.4 using a USB flash drive. The live update tool will not work as the system is running Vista 64bit SP1. All and of course the system does not have a floppy drive. System specs are listed below, and again please list the instructions in detail. Thank you for your help in advance, Todd.

Don't use generic noname PSU, also avoid "Apevia".
Use quality PSU with powerfull large single rail good brand, like PC & Power Cooling, Corsair, Enermax e.g.
Good PSU suggestion with other info here:

Is your problem caused by your PSU?
Unfortunatly I don't think that I can return it at this time. It has been more then 30 days. It bought it becasue it had a $50 rebate, but was still a $140 PSU before rebate. I didn't think that I was getting a cheap one, but I guess I was wrong. I usually only ever buy Thermaltake and occasionally Cooler Master. I have had good luck with both in the past. Thermaltake is worth the money in my opinion. If the Apevia goes bad again, then I will try to exchange for credit, but since I threw the orginal box away, newegg wouldn't work with me at this time. :(

MOVED: K9A2 Platinum ACPI errors after resume

https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=114100.0

You're welcome!
I had same problem with my old build; same RX1950 card but with K8NGM2-FID board. I think I may have updated the Catalyst drivers after I gave up trying to get standby to work, but it works flawlessly now in this new K9A2 Platinum system I have. Just to note, I rebuilt my brother's K7N2 Delta2 system with the old K8NGM2-FID board, and resume from standby works fine there too. So it could well have just been a driver issue.

Are there any MSI K9A2 Platinum Bios version with better V-core adjust?

Hi everyone
I wonder if anyone knows if there are some bios version to MSI K9A2 Platinum there they have change the V-core settings. I think it´s very big step between the different V-core setting.
In my bios (v.1.3) i have this settings at V-core. Auto=1.32v (AMD 5000+ BE) then 1.36, 1.39, 1.44, 1.49, 1.51. etc.
So, if anyone knows if there are som bios version that have better options to the V-core settings i would be grateful

K9A2 Platinum BIOS, are there any hard drive size limitations ?

I have a K9A2 Platinum system with version 1.10 of the AMI BIOS. Recently trying to re-initialize a Linux grub /boot partition which is near the end of my 2 TB hard drive I received the message:
"Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS"
I see nothing in the AMI BIOS limiting the number of cylinders on any of my hard disks. Is there some setting in the BIOS I should be changing to fix this problem or is this just a legacy grub limitation ?

[Athlon64] Failed Bios update with both Live Update and Dos version = badchecksum shutdown

Sometimes bios recovery is a long shot .
But the award bios v.6 is supposed to be able to do it if the bootblock is still intact.
Best way seems to be to strip it down to minimal configuration , disconnect all drives except floppy , one ram module , perhaps without video card also .
Look here :

K9A2 Platinum BIOS - Beating a Dead Horse?

I heard a rumor (posted on the AMD processor forums in one of my posts) that MSI has stopped adding to the K9A2 Platinum (V1 board) BIOS. They will not be adding a selective disable to the TLB bug, they will not be adding a northbridge multiplier setting. Any truth to this horrible rumor? My support request with MSI to add a northbridge multiplier so I can actually get my memory speed up where it is rated was met with the likes of "we probably won't be doing that". Is BIOS 1.3 going to be the last one? I don't really WANT to go back to BIOS P.0E just so I can unlock the northbridge multiplier. It has a bunch of other issues with memory. This board is priced quite low considering... I wonder if they ended up losing money on it and decided to stop supporting the V1 board?

K2N2 Delta 2 Platinum Bios update Problem

Hello All,
I just got myself in trouble again
My setup is a two sata disc raid system, which was working perfectly but with a black screen reboot every now and then, so I though a bios update may solve the problem.
So I update the bios using live update3 but I think it's gone wrong.
After updating the raid option didnot show at all and I got a ( A disc read error occurred) so I tried clearing cmos and re boot.
When I rebooted the (cmos checksum error - defaults loaded - Press F1 to continue, DEL to enter SETUP), on pressing F1 the (A disc read error occurred)
came up, so I used the rescue disc to reinstall previous bios but same result.
In bios setup I set 1st boot to hard disc, but with the platinum there is also a Priorty boot selection which you press enter to see the settings, which are -
1. Ch2 M. Maxtor 6Y120M0
2. Ch3 M. Maxtor 6Y120M0
3. Bootable Add-in Cards
I set the 1st boot device to Hard Disc as it does not show scsi, it does show Lan, USB devices and the normal cd rom and floppy.
The big problem is I can't see the raid arrey on post so I can get in to see if it's working OK.
I would be most grateful for any help
Very Best Regards
Peter T

and I want to be able to update my bios i just got the board and the bios update is need...how do i update it? When i install Live Update tells me service wasn't started and flash_mimo device control error ...not really sure where to get the bios flash utility to do it from a floppy disk...

Quote from: harmanoff on 19-July-07, 23:52:06
Alright I will try those things...do i have to put the newest bios on the USB key or is that done for me to?
no just execute tool from windows 1st and point to the bios file or bios .zip archive when asked, choice your USB letter and wait a tool to finish. then reboot and boot from it. no need to copy anythink to the usb key.

MOVED: K9A2 Platinum - HT and PCI-E speeds in bios???

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=112669.0

Quote from: Bleek on 30-November-07, 20:35:07
Firstly thanks for the quick reply!
In my experience PCI-E speeds effect stability, sometimes raising just past 100MHz actually increases stability.
AMD OverDrive seems to have a few limits (unless its user error) whereby it limits the voltage I can use, max of 1.35 which isn't enough. I take it the OverDrive does allow me to alter HT speeds however?
Is that bios tested? If I flash and it fails do I have the option to flash back to the old one? I.e. I don't want to kill my mobo! :D
Thanks in advance.
" I take it the OverDrive does allow me to alter HT speeds however?"
simply install it and go and see
"Is that bios tested? If I flash and it fails do I have the option to flash back to the old one? I.e. I don't want to kill my mobo! :D"
"Is that bios tested?"
some users is using it, without problems if you asking that.
"If I flash and it fails do I have the option to flash back to the old one? I.e. I don't want to kill my mobo! :D"
maybe yes, maybe no.. BIOS flashing is always risky, if you decide to use it do it at own risk.
else just be patient and wait for official version.

K9A2 CF BIOS update -- system freezes

hi,
just new here hopefully someone could help..
just bought recently MSI K9A2 CF mobo to pair up with my 5000+ BE, am havin a dillema regarding its chipset reading it read as RD780..is this should be 790x?right?
so what i did i updated its bios to beta 1.22 as suggested by MSI technical group after successfully updating my BIOS, upon booting up, windows suddenly freezes up..so after all the troubleshooting i finnaly gave up, i re-installed my system again..re-installed drivers system and after restarting there it goes again it freezes up...

Quote from: Russ_xp on 27-December-07, 18:18:23
@Madfaze20 - just make sure that any bios you get is for correct MB - CF is 7388 vs Platinum is 7376.
@Sake - do you have a beta bios for K9A2 CF-F ?
thanks ill keep that in mind, there is 1.21 on their ftp site

Thx to bosskiller in above topic.
Here is BIOS 121 for K9A2 CF-F that should remove message "PS/2 Mouse not found" for those who need.
Use it at own risk.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=112568.0;attach=3726
BTW Also running a 5000+ Black Editon in a K9A2CF-F. With Kingston 2x 1GB DDR2 800 ValueRAM running stabil from day one.
so were running the same setup, so how's your OC?
