MSI Click BIOS X: Easy Overclocking, Superior Control

 

Internally and physically, the Z890 and X870 motherboards from MSI's 800 series are built to endure even the most demanding systems. Strong power delivery, extra onboard PCIe power, a number of convenient EZ DIY features, and more are all features of these motherboards.

But that's not all. It comes with a brand-new BIOS interface called MSI Click BIOS X.

They go over the rationale behind this change, potential improvements, and some of the features of the updated interface.

Enhancements to MSI Click BIOS X: Appearance, Efficiency, Customization, and More

Even if its Click BIOS 5 interface has been efficient for years, the complexity of modern hardware is making chores more difficult. You could need access to several additional BIOS settings in order to overclock, modify basic settings, or modify functionality.

One way to do this is to bury them under other menu items. But that is hardly realistic.

Or you could do it all over again!

MSI Click BIOS X was created from the bottom up with the goal of offering a revamped and updated user interface for a better user experience. By allowing you to find the BIOS settings you need to optimize your computer's performance without having to navigate through multiple menus, it restores your control.

A Novel Look: Colors of MEG, MPG, and MAG

The Click BIOS interfaces on most MSI motherboards were similar in appearance, but they were not unique. With MSI Click BIOS X, you should expect an interface that more closely matches your motherboard's appearance.

For example, in order to accurately mimic the design of their product, MEG motherboards will have a gorgeous black and gold interface. While MPG motherboards now have a livelier, pink color scheme, MAG has chosen its characteristic yellow color scheme to better reflect the design concepts of your motherboard.

Even though the look and color of these interfaces may vary, MSI Click BIOS X offers the same user experience across all MSI motherboards.

Rethinking Click BIOS X's EZ Mode

The "EZ mode" or "simple" interface of the Click BIOS X isn't meant to hide the BIOS options you need. In contrast, it offers immediate access to every feature that most users will need to get their PC up and running.

Of course, if you prefer Advanced Mode, you may switch to it by using the "F7" key.

EZ Overclocking: NPU, CPU, and Memory

In EZ Mode, BOOST toggles are easily accessible, allowing you to overclock your hardware with just a single click.

Here, you may adjust features like Game Boost for CPU overclocking, XMP for memory overclocking, and AI Boost for NPU overclocking.

You can utilize this feature to increase system performance as long as you have the cooling necessary to regulate it. For example, NPU overclocking can increase AI performance on the Intel Core Ultra's on-chip NPU by as much as 27%.

Toggles, Toggles, and Toggles: EZ On/Off

Have you ever wished to quickly turn on a feature, such the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), but been going through a tonne of BIOS settings?

The EZ On/Off section attempts to stop this confusion by grouping several common feature and functionality toggles into a distinct area in EZ Mode. Useful toggles for features like temperature units, animations, FTPM 2.0, RGB lighting, and more are located in this area.

EZ Config: Customize Your BIOS

More seasoned users might need a bit more, even if EZ Mode is great for giving access to commonly used features.

The fully configurable "EZ Config / Favorite" function of EZ Mode is useful in this situation. By simply adding settings, options, and toggles to your favorites, you can reach them faster than ever before.

Hardware Monitor Redesign: Personalize Fan Curves and More


Setting up your fans just the way you want them should be easy. You may configure the perfect fan curves with the help of the new Hardware Monitor design in MSI Click BIOS X.

You can make sure that your system operates entirely silently when not in use and only activates to cool your hardware when your computer is performing more taxing activities by regulating the temperature and related fan speed. You can also drag the fan with your mouse to change its curve to your liking.

Screenshots of BIOS (F12)

You might wish to take screenshots of your BIOS for troubleshooting, work-related purposes, or any other reason. MSI Click BIOS X simplifies this process by offering an intuitive UI for choosing a storage location for your screenshots.

MSI EZ OC Adjustment for Intel CPUs

Overclocking is a great technique to get the most out of your current equipment. For example, skilled overclockers can pull a ton of performance out of their hardware and set world records. However, not everyone has the time or knowledge to dig down and make a lot of trial-and-error adjustments to each setting separately.

The MSI Click BIOS X EZ OC Tuning settings are designed to provide you the ability to set overclocks with ease.

Calculate Your CPU and Memory OC Potential with CPU Force 3 and Memory Force

In addition to their state-of-the-art architecture and high-quality components, MEG motherboards provide a few unique features that will help enthusiasts and ardent overclockers attain even higher performance. MEG motherboards can now detect and measure the installed hardware's overclocking potential thanks to the addition of CPU Force 3 and Memory Force!

CPU Force 3 on Intel Z890 motherboards gives you an idea of how far you've previously pushed Intel Core Ultra processors (P-core and E-core), so you can decide if it's worth going for a higher overclock.

How close you are to maximizing the performance of your DDR5 memory is also determined by Memory Force. If the number is lower, you are one step closer to achieving the full potential of your gear.

Overclocking is influenced by a wide range of factors, thus your experience could not be the same as someone with even slightly different equipment.

Recollection Give it a try!

Older MSI BIOS interfaces include the Memory Try It! option, but I didn't find it to be very user-friendly. By choosing BIOS X, which adds Memory Try It! to the EZ Config menu, you can easily switch between memory settings and reboot.

Memory Try It! now offers over 50 memory overclocking profiles with modified frequency and timing parameters. You should have no trouble finding the ideal overclock for your DDR5 RAM thanks to this feature.

Optimizing Memory Performance as Memory in Memory Extension Mode Try it out! is an excellent tool for quickly playing with a small number of variables, but it may be scary to gamers and those who are uncomfortable experimenting with many settings.

Performance Mode, Benchmark Mode, High Efficiency Mode, and Memtest Mode are the four preset modes that can be used simultaneously with a single click in MSI Click BIOS X's Memory Extension Mode. These settings improve performance in gaming, benchmarking, and other situations by optimizing memory characteristics including speed and latency.

When compared to just setting XMP and calling it a day, they found that employing Memory Extension Mode increased speed by up to 14% in many tests.

MSI Performance Preset: Configuring Power Limitation

Intel Default Settings, MSI Performance Settings, MSI Extreme Settings, and MSI Unlimited Settings are the four presets available under the "MSI Performance Preset" settings.

Each preset adjusts several parameters within preset limits to optimize the performance of your Intel Core Ultra CPUs.

Motherboards with AMD X870 and Intel Z890: Including MSI Click BIOS X

Microsoft Click BIOS X is present on all motherboards designed for the current generation of AMD Ryzen (AM5) and Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) CPUs, such as the AMD X870 (and X870E) and Intel Z890. It's a fresh take on how a BIOS ought to feel and seem, with a focus on improving user experience and ensuring you have the resources need to get the most out of your hardware.
