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

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

1-3% higher than the 7000 series.

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.

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

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).

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.
