MSI increases the BIOS EEPROM of its motherboards and renames them MAX
MSI motherboards are updated to add 32MB of EEPROM BIOS to improve support for the Ryzen 3000, with the MAX tag added
The arrival of processors AMD Ryzen 3000 has been a major problem for MSI. This manufacturer has chosen to use 16MB EEPROM BIOS, while the rest in the X470 and B450 have already switched to 32MB EEPROM BIOS. This problem is that having Ryzen's three-generation microcode is not possible on 16MB. This has forced MSI to release a Lite BIOS with many cuts.
To solve this problem MSI has announced the MAX motherboards. These the only difference that they have with respect to the current models is a 32MB EEPROM BIOS. Something that is being highly criticized by users who already have their current motherboards in their systems.
MSI launches MAX motherboards with 32MB EEPROM BIOS
The latest BIOS for the X470 and B450 has been seen to have clippings in the graphical interface. But it is not only cut back on that, different APUs and support for RAID configurations have had to be left out. These new MSI MAX motherboards should have no problem supporting all the necessary microcodes.
These new MSI Max motherboards should no longer have a problem supporting all three Ryzen families. We must bear in mind that the fourth iteration of Ryzen should also be able to be installed on current motherboards. Also, they are a great solution for users who are not interested in PCIe 4.0.
The updated motherboards are:
- A-320M-A Pro Max
- B450M-A ProMax
- B450M Pro-M2 Max
- B450M Pro VDH Max
- B450-A ProMax
- B450M Mortar Max
- B450 Tomahawk Max
- B450 Gaming Plus Max
- X470 Gaming Plus Max
- X470 Gaming ProMax
It's funny how MSI updates the size of the A320 motherboard. AMD already said that the A320 chipset would not support the XNUMXrd generation Ryzen, so this update does not make sense. It seems quite strange to us, really.
