MSI MEG X670E ACE

[ir_cow]

did you tried “Memory Context Restore” BIOS option?

Yep, I used it for a while with ddr5-5600 2x32GB. Eventually turned it off because every once in a while it would fail to boot. I rather just deal with 30 extra seconds than have to spend 10 minutes figuring out why it doesn't boot the next day.

This isn't just a MSI thing. All context restore works about the same and has the same issues.

I agree, I tried it on a Corsair 4x16GB SK Hynix sticks set at 6000mt/s C30 and
Context Memory Restore creates some troubles from time to time.

I disabled it too... thanks for your answer ir_cow

I love meaningless settings.
What is the difference between the profiles with star and without?

Or the Lodeline Menu ... Mode 1 vs 8 ???
Zero documentation in which steps what is controlled, not even whether % or fixed mV

I believe the * is additional tweaks to the sub-timings. As for LLC, it changes the vdroop. I forget which direction MSI does it, but one side is overshooting and the other does the opposite. You might inheritly think the one that gives the lowest drop is best, but that comes with higher transit spikes too. Auto is like 3 or 4 and sometimes changes if you play with the CPU overclocking. Just really depends on the MB. Idk about this one though, haven't looked into it.

Hi,

Spent the last 24 hours trying to get motherboard raid going on an MSI Godlike X670E board and nothing I can do will make it work. This is using the Xpander-Z M.2 expansion card with two 980 Pro 1TB drives installed in the PCI-E slot below the GPU. Both drives are recognized in bios and I can go as far as in the Raidxpert bios utility to first initilize the drives and then add them to a raid 0 array which shows up in the bios raid utility. However going into windows each disk shows up individually. Not sure why.

The only quirk was that I had to first delete pre-existing single drive arrays in order to create a new areay.

Using AMD raid drivers 9.3.2.158.

Windows 11.

Thank you

How is this motherboard doing in 2025? Bios better? Memory OC'ing better?

Picked one up new for ~$500 and will be pairing it with a 9800X3D Hoping to hit 6600 CL26 with a DR kit

I'd say about the same. But you really don't need fast memory or expensive type for 9800X3D. I'm getting 1-3fps lower with 4800 CL40 vs 6400 CL32 in testing.

Use that saved money and put it towards a video card.

I'm already half way in. New GPU, New RAM kit, and the New MB on the way.

How many CPU USB Hubs does the board have? 2 or 3? There's the 3 USB Type A, 1 USB Type C that is also Data and Display, and the USB Type C that's linked to the 3rd PCIe slot, so I'm assuming 3 different CPU USB hubs?

Ty, I have. Do you know how many it has? Asking in particular about CPU USB Hubs.. my X570 board only has one CPU USB hub, and 2 more off the chipset. If you don't know, it's cool. Just trying to find out.. I'll know when I build the rig eventually


EDIT: maybe I'm calling it the wrong thing, but here is an example. The highlighted one is my CPU USB hub, the rest are off the chipset

 

[ir_cow]

Block Diagrams points to three different CPU USB connections. That's about all the information I have. Sorry

 

[Athlonite]

• 2x USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 20 Gbps Type-C port
• 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 20 Gbps Type-C port (Display Alt)
• 8x USB 3.2 Gen 2 10 Gbps Type-A ports

But why you'd need them to be directly connected to the CPU is beyond me they are all connected to the PCIe bus in one way or another
