MSI Releases Firmware with 105W TDP Option for Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X

[Nomad76]

MSI is excited to announce the upcoming release of the AMD AGESA BIOS PI 1.2.0.1 update, designed to enhance power delivery performance for the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X processors on our 600 Series motherboards. This new BIOS will include an option that allows users to increase the original CPU TDP to 105 W on these two Ryzen processors, providing an extra boost in performance.

With this new feature allowing the TDP of the new Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X processors to be increased to 105 W, as seen with the picture below, performance actually gain at approximately of 13% compared to the original 65 W TDP.





Motherboard Models

• MEG X670E GODLIKE MPG B650 CARBON WIFI
• MEG X670E ACE MPG B650 EDGE WIFI
• MPG X670E CARBON WIFI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI
• MAG X670E TOMAHAWK WIFI MAG B650M MORTAR WIFI /
• MAG B650M MORTAR
• X670E GAMING PLUS WIFI B650M GAMING PLUS WIFI
• PRO B650-P WIFI

In the coming weeks, additional BIOS updates for all AMD 600 Series motherboards will be released.

Yess!! Running Cinebench R23 all day long!!!

And finally catching up to the the legendary 12700k from 2021.

The actual real-life performance increase would be more interesting than just one synthetic benchmark.

I like what MSI has been doing with their motherboards, they will go in my next build.

1-3% higher than the 7000 series.

Amd fanboys right now.... After two years of bagging on Intel over power consumption lol.

105w is not a 1kw, knock it off bro.

 

[HOkay]

Typo in the title btw.

So, you gain 13% for a 60% power increase. Not very good efficiency in CB atm.

More testing is needed (games and workloads) to be worth the 60% more power consumption, from my perspective anyways.

 

[A Computer Guy]

Let's hope it doesn't devolve into an ironic CPU degradation issue.

 

[Minus Infinity]

I haven't owned an Intel cpu since Ivy Bridge 3570K, but barring a total fluster cuck from Intel, I'm almost certainly going Arrow Lake and would take even 225K over the 9600X, let alone 245K(F).

并最终在 2021 年赶上传说中的 12700k。：拉皮条：

No, you only raise the allowed TDP from 65W to 105W. Only in extreme conditions it will tick against the 105W TDP - in Games there's likely a slight uplift, but not much. Games don't tax CPU cores as multithreaded cinebench does.

Its just a simple OC, nothing more.

Hense..

13% more performance for 61.5% more energy ..... and people wonder why there is pollution and climate change ‍

That's why these CPUs have a factory 65W TDP, it's optimal for their silicon. The same is true for many other CPUs, such as the R5 5600X 65W where any OC results in a far disproportionate increase in power consumption and TDP. In my setup, both the CPU and GPU have been pushed to the highest power efficiency, this gives good performance and sweet silence even under full load, even on warm summer days. An efficient and quiet machine, that's sexy.

Have you seen the news lately? Intel is in a complete meltdown.

 

[phints]

Should be 80W, these Zen 5 cores have great efficiency at about 10W per core. But their idle power consumption remains a bit high.

State of the world.

Also much more would be saved if people stuck to 60fps caps which for the majority of games and people would provide as good a experience. The GPU pulling almost 300w e.g. in the starfield run on that video.

 

[Neo_Morpheus]

As usual, power consumption only matters when it can be used against AMD.

Well Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake are still on time and Lunar Lake launches this week.

 

[ARF]

Not needed. The CPUs should be kept under their default power ranges - 55 - 75 W.

 

[Chrispy_]

This is only relevant to the A620, right?

Every other model has PBO where you can set your TDP to whatever you want, and MSI has usually provided various 45W/65W/95W eco modes across the last few generations of B-series and X-series boards.

That's a 3-week old video without the 11% improvement to gaming that the Windows patches have provided.

AFAIK, the scheduler patches that Microsoft have applied to W11 invalidate launch day reviews entirely if they haven't been updated. You can definitely blame AMD for not timing the launch correctly if these patches have been in the works for a while, but you can also blame Microsoft for failing to get branch-prediction code right for YEARS. The gains to Zen4 are almost as significant and prove that all the work that was put towards Intel for Alder Lake's launch was omitted for AMD. Call it bias, call it favouritism, call it foul-play - I don't care. What matters is that AMD CPUs have been artificially held back by Microsoft for an entire product generation.

 

[Chry]

Funny so AMD releases their new line, all the reviewers review the CPUs and THEN a couple weeks later:
- Windows update with 10% uplift
- BIOS update with 10% uplift

Meanwhile most reviews won't change. Kinda feels bad.
