Hi,
I have a problem with Dynamic Dashboard III on X870E Godlike.
Dashboard have a problem with show information such as temp, dynamic image, ... LCD flickers when show information temp.
If you have any way to fix it, please help me.
Thank you so much.
Best regard.

 
Solution
I am receiving messages that the bridge is mostly stable with the version from 16th Jan. So first of all, please make sure you update the firmware as well as BIOS and MSI Center.
Why would you not be able to?
You complained about off–topic content, yet you respond with something that I'd consider spam—contributing nothing to the conversation. But that's whatever.

The thing I actually want to respond with is—there's no need to insult them. Maybe you weren't trying to, but the comment definitely comes across that way to me. Everyone has different skill levels. If someone has purchased an item this expensive they may be uncertain and want to do things correctly, without landing themselves into a poor situation. There's no need to denigrate them for asking a question about something you consider to be obvious.



@s1rr0n
As Nichrome said—it will be fine. Most, software versions can also be downgraded, if needed.

I assume that you are concerned with the possibility that each patch is its own compartmentalized code. I've seen that happen in weird video game launchers, where you download the game and then it patches in sequence until it reaches the current version, but that's uncommon. Most software versions are built as a stack by adding new changes on top of the older versions, and then sending it out as a complete package.

As far as the bloatware—I found value in installing MSI Center's Dashboard tool. The software may be bloat, but the changes I made apply without the need for the software to run actively. As long as you don't have it set to automatically run, and your settings load as you would expect them to, it shouldn't impact you directly. Perhaps there's some background stuff it runs that I'm not aware of, but if you are running a motherboard this expensive then it's likely you have the other hardware to overpower any nonsense that MSI Center would create.

I didn't insult anyone. Your interpretation of things is your own problem. And I resent your sentiment. Talking about GPU purchase lottery tickets is way more spam than asking a simple question.

And I wasn't denigrating anyone, nor is it necessarily obvious. My question was meant seriously. Despite being able to generally downgrade BIOSes, I have no idea what the implications of doing so in conjunction with this buggy display could be. It is clear the two software devices talk to each other. On Youtube there are mentions of being on certain BIOSes prior to updating the display, etc.
I legitimately was wondering if they, or anyone else, thinks it might have an effect on the issue.

Anyway, I have decided I will open my Godlike box tomorrow and start building it. With MSI confirming they will replace displays only in the EU and most people that did not run into the reconnect loop at least seeing stable systems that boot, I have enough confidence to give it a shot.
I will immediately flash to the latest BIOS, then update the display.

Lets give it another week, and we may finally put an update with actual solution, 🤞
This sounds good to me, i'm 2 days away from it being 3 weeks on the new firmware for the ez bridge and tomorrow will be 2 weeks on the newest bios. So far everything has finally been good with no return of issues for me. I'm also not running the MSI center or any of the msi software. I want to make sure the device is working well before I start doing anything that might be a contributing factor for problems on this damn thing.
 
Well, now we know the truth of the matter. My custom GIF didn't even load at all this time. It went from loading pretty quickly right after the OS login screen hit after a fresh FW/Data update, to taking about a minute to load, and now it doesn't load at all, even after logging in. It's just stuck on the system stats. MOS Temp keeps going from ~30 back to 0, then back to the temp, but seems to have stabilized now. CHIP temp sis consistently 2-3 degrees higher than the MOS Temp.

The degradation is slower, but it's definitely slipping back into the abyss. It's the end of days and I'm the first to be culled. The last FW and Data update tool I used was when the A24 BIOS released on Jan. 22nd, 2025.

I'll restart the PC and see if it loads the GIF.



OK, so the first time it didn't load I had started my PC from cold, via the PSU switch.

Now that I restarted—which, again, didn't restart until the 3rd BIOS screen—the custom GIF loaded after I logged into the OS.

I don't feel like turning off and on my PC right now, so I'll continue to report in on this breaking news as it progresses. More at 11.

I just had a dashboard restart, but it is much better now, my findings so far:
* 2025-01-16 was stable for exactly 2 weeks until today
* when it disconnected there was USB disconnect sound and within 27 seconds the screen was back to showing the standard view, so it doesn't go into boot loop anymore
* I have MSI Center uninstalled and not using custom settings in the dashboard to minimize internal Flash memory writes
* it is not related to the PC stability, the screen has its own CPU and RAM that is completely separate from the system, only connection to the system is USB device, but with MSI Center uninstalled there is nothing writing data to this device. For me, it always got broken when windows was loaded, but more frequent computer restarts might make the problem worse.
* if you are a streamer and can't afford occasional USB disconnects that freeze your PC for a second and the only thing connected to dashboard is power/reset button you can completely disconnect it and use headers on motherboard (see attached picture), you can also connect post code display to JDP1 port e.g. TL631 mini
* I couldn't find a way to disable the USB hub to which the dashboard is connected I think it is one of the root hubs and it would disable many other ports

these headers are not documented in the manual; they are left to SATA_S3, below M2_5
Not documented? Blasphemy! MSI is Godlike and would never fail to provide accurate information!



GG, they do exist. How is it that nobody else has brought this up so far? Everyone is talking about powering on through BIOS options lol.

@RyzenRider was the real Godlike all along. He always has been.

Hey guys,

I currently have MSI x870e Carbon Wifi brand new sealed in the box. But I really wanted this godlike mobo.
Is it worth to return and just go for this mobo and address the known problems by flashing latest bios and firmware/data for the DD or just stay away from it and keep the carbon wifi?
 
Is it worth
No one can tell you that. It is too soon since the most recent "fix". You have to decide for yourself how much you like this board and if it is worth the risk of disassembling and RMA'ing stuff.
I personally have decided to take the plunge. I think there is enough evidence to show that it is a software issue and can/is being fixed.
 
What they said. ^

Additionally—as I've previously stated—we have no idea if all of the Dashboard reports are the same issue. Some of those that had hardware failure may have had a hardware issue, on top of the software issue. We have no idea if it's all the boards. There's a bias to this thread, because people are only posting here if they have issues. The people who have no issues—if they exist at all—wouldn't have a reason to post here or anywhere else.

It's all unknown. The future is not set. There is no fate but what MSI makes for us.
 
I didn't insult anyone. Your interpretation of things is your own problem.
OK cool your jets friend
This is a global site for all countries just because it may not come across as insulting in your country does not mean it will not in other locations

I wasn't going to address this, because I felt that there was no value in perpetuating it.

I understand their reaction to my interpretation, but ultimately it was their fault for posting a sentence left entirely up to the reader to fill in the missing data. They didn't use enough words to convey the intention of their statement, and therefore it was misconstrued.

Normally a statement of "Why wouldn't this be such?", with no additional context, comes across as I stated in my response. It may not be their problem that I assumed so, but it is their fault for failing to clearly communicate their intention.

I could have also questioned their statement without accusation via assumption.

Additionally, I made a critical error in this post, where I used "you" in a general sense when I should have used we, and I failed to provide the context that I was speaking from the overall conversation about customer support—which had been beaten into the ground over the previous 22 pages. The person I responded to then responded to me upset, understandably so, due to my failure to properly communicate.

In conclusion, we need to strive to be more explicit and considerate with our statements to ensure we can converse amicably.
