no it will have whatever bios was available at the time of manufacture, and being that the manufacture date is almost impossible to validate, you never know what bios it has until you power it up.
U dont no what u talking about. Auto is always bad decisions for basic settings. Like PCIE/chipset auto means. Windows can switch that a save power. In GPU-Z u can see if u do basic staff is on Gen 3 but 1.1 in some games is 2.0, but for good latency u need 3.0 every time. HD audio controller is bad panel audio..so off and use motherboard audio. XHCI hand-off can mess with mouse, better is for. Legacy for Windows 10 off. enchance mouse..0. ErP ready u can setup it only if power supply support it. In infinity fabric freg. that say FCLK = MCLK. FCLK must be MCLK for best preformace. Sufficiently high MCLK can negate or overcome this penalty and u saying "i have better ram i need go FCLK high haha I am so smart". Sorry but that do what u want is so annoying. TEST that setting and then say why u have that on or off. I dont care about IF If IF IF IF IF IF or I dont care enable it or disable.
most of the settings will have a very minimal effect but if you want to spend time checking what settings work best for your system that is great, but a lot of people just want to build a pc turn on xmp and pbo and setup the fans and thats it. I do have a deep respect for anyone prepared to spend the necessary time to learn the optimal settings

try each stick on its own in slot 2 then slot 4 if one of them gives and error it is faulty
Not even sure if this will be acknowledged… However I see you have a M.2 activated as your main drive I currently am trying to do the same but I cant get mine to be recognized and I would seriously appreciate some help..🤞🏼
Sure happy to help. Is it a new drive or an older one? If it is an older one you might need to enable csm mode
@@mikesunboxing its a new M.2 driver
My motherboard knows its in the slot it just doesnt show up in my boot drives
@@mikesunboxing is there a better way to contact you in order for this to go a little faster?

Hey, will a Ryzen 5 2600 work with MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk?

Thank you so much :)
@@AnuraagRao7 No problem :-)
Is the bios updated out the box
no it will have whatever bios was available at the time of manufacture, and being that the manufacture date is almost impossible to validate, you never know what bios it has until you power it up.
@@mikesunboxing the one I bought says the release date is 4/11/22
@@randomcsorely Should be ok, then
Hi mike, it is possible runs two ssd nmve m2?use all ports nvme ?

U dont no what u talking about. Auto is always bad decisions for basic settings. Like PCIE/chipset auto means. Windows can switch that a save power. In GPU-Z u can see if u do basic staff is on Gen 3 but 1.1 in some games is 2.0, but for good latency u need 3.0 every time. HD audio controller is bad panel audio..so off and use motherboard audio. XHCI hand-off can mess with mouse, better is for. Legacy for Windows 10 off. enchance mouse..0. ErP ready u can setup it only if power supply support it.
In infinity fabric freg. that say FCLK = MCLK. FCLK must be MCLK for best preformace. Sufficiently high MCLK can negate or overcome this penalty and u saying "i have better ram i need go FCLK high haha I am so smart".
Sorry but that do what u want is so annoying. TEST that setting and then say why u have that on or off. I dont care about IF If IF IF IF IF IF or I dont care enable it or disable.
most of the settings will have a very minimal effect but if you want to spend time checking what settings work best for your system that is great, but a lot of people just want to build a pc turn on xmp and pbo and setup the fans and thats it.
I do have a deep respect for anyone prepared to spend the necessary time to learn the optimal settings
you dont know what your talking about
any specific areas? would love to hear some feedback
