MSI Releases CPU Cooler Type Optimization to ClickBIOS 5

[btarunr]

MSI, a world-leading motherboard manufacturer, announces the new BIOS feature: CPU Cooler Tuning. "CPU Cooler Tuning" is an innovative design that unleashes the processors from the thermal design power of the boxed cooler after users replace it with a better solution. It helps the users take advantage of the full potential of the processors. It is also very intuitive and easy to use. The drop-down menu shows the options to the users and lets them choose the cooling solution and the system will automatically change the power and current limit to the corresponding values.

This table shows the maximum power and current limit of B460 & H410 motherboards and how high the frequency they can achieve. It is obvious that the power limit makes a huge impact on the boost frequency when the processor is under load. As long as the cooler is efficient enough, MSI recommends users to set the power limit at a higher value for better performance.



After-market thermal solution is becoming more popular because of better noise and cooling performance. With the MSI CPU Cooler Tuning, users can get the additional performance boost for the computer.

I'd be happier if MSI promised that they'd actually provide the power to the CPU socket that they pretended to.

Trying to make a new PC quiet is getting silly because motherboard manufacturers are supplying more power to the CPUs than they're reporting to the CPUs, in an attempt to get a stealth advantage in review benchmarks.

Meanwhile, us poor consumers are just getting their CPUs pushed insanely far beyond the power/voltage efficiency sweet spot at "stock" settings.

Kind of short-sighted class separation there.
"Stock cooler", "Performance Air Cooler" and "Water cooling loop" would be more adequate and actually reflect common scenarios. With a "*" please match the dissipation capacity of your cooler's specifications.
In their logic, I have a tower cooler, for some reason.

That's for AMD and has nothing to do with this thread... this is for budget Intel...

In the picture above there's no discrepancy between the tower cooler and water cooler, and there's huge variances in performance in both categories. A 92mm single fan heatsink vs an NH-D15 or a slim 120mm vs a custom dual 360mm loop, etc.

What would be more useful is a database of coolers that have been validated with different profiles for each like XMP.

I could be wrong but I thought I read articles and watched streams saying that it affects both Intel and AMD platforms.

You should find a link then. Yours explicitly states amd. AFAIK, it was only amd.
