Question: If I need to update the BIOS for Richland CPUs, Will it be able to update through a Richland CPU? (Like without a Trinity Chipset)
Document: I just purchased this board and the AMD A10-6800k processor. I expected to have to update the BIOS however in order to do that you have to have a Trinity based apu installed. Given that this is a new build and I don't have an extra apu sitting around I had to order a $50 chip in order to use the new A10. I'll update when I am able to install the new apu.
Unacceptable. So it you ever decide to upgrade from whatever it is you are using (WinXP, Win Vista, Win7), you can kiss that functionality goodbye and you will need to go out and buy USB dongles for wifi and bluetooth. Also, if any future update of your current OS disables the drivers (this sort of thing happens all the time), they will stop working.In BIOS, the motherboard just keeps cranking up the CPU for some reason.
Some of my gripes are:1) Richland APU support didn't come around until Bios V2.0 (I believe 2.0, but may have been 2.2). In order to update the Bios, you need a last-generation Trinity APU. Seems silly and pointless. You'd think that MSI could have found a better way of doing that, knowing that most of us don't have random APU's laying around.2) The Bios doesn't display properly using HDMI.
(BTW, if you use Windows 8 it has power saving setting you need to turn off in the Device manager, it will x2 your internet speed)Besides that, it's a cheap, functional, motherboard - nothing more, nothing less.OTHER THOUGHTS:There's no CPU cover, which caused me 10 minutes of grief because I've never seen a mobo without one, and got pretty confused.The metal plate (if you know the name, please mention in the comments!)
I bought this as a replacement for the Asrock FM2 ITX board that I purchased that was unstable. This MSI board is completely stable. The BIOS is fantastic except you cannot do CPU VCORE adjustments. I would buy this again.2013-02-26 Update - This motherboard is still chugging along. I had some crashes with it recently. I did a Memtest and found that one of the memory sticks I used went bad. I removed the bad stick and the computer stopped crashing.
Got this board for my HTPC that I'm building with an AMD A6-5400K. Worked out of the box with no issue, but while installing all my driver/updates, I decided to check and see if a BIOS update was available. It said I had the latest, but when I hit OK, it appeared to try and re-flash the BIOS anyway, and in turn bricked my board.
It is a great decent mobo that comes with good features like the wifi and bluetooth.Everything works as expected and boot up. Be careful when choosing the RAM though; the first set of RAM I installed didn't work and wasn't able to post, so I had to get a new set different of RAM and it thankfully worked.One negative would the lack of overclocking function in the bios. It let you change the frequency and things but NO voltage control! ?
May 31, 2013 Update: Still running strong, changed it from a 4 star review to a 5 star just because of how trouble free it has been. Bluetooth is still working great. Only slightly irritating thing again is the voltage control, but I'm still able to run a slight (304 FSB) overclock which makes up for this downside.
I just get freaked out and turn off the computer or exit BIOS because I'm afraid it will fry my PC. Its not that I have a defective motherboard, everyone else seems to have this issue as well. How does something like that make it past MSI's QC? BIOS is never computationally expensive so there is not reason for it to do that.Because of the Wifi/driver issue, I had to return Windows 8.1 and get Windows 7 to use the wifi and bluetooth functionality.
Within 20 of the max is where it starts getting into questionable territory. Typically I get a reading around 45 while playing games with an ambient temp of ~65F.BIOS does NOT like to show up well over HDMI, switching to VGA scaled everything how it should. Apparently updated to the BETA BIOS (check the MSI forums) fixed this for a few people. I end up just using the ClickBIOS software.You currently cannot control the voltage through BIOS options.
Answer: Sorry I couldn't say. I would trust the cpu compatibilty list but if you don't, you might email the manufacturer or something like that.
