I hope this a27 version fixes the problem I encountered in previous versions. I have noticed that my 9950x cannot consume more than 235W, 165 TDC and 168 EDC. I tried adding manual values (250w, 180 TDC and 225 EDC) but it doesn't work, I can't reach the limits. With CPU-Z I can't score higher than 880 in single core and 18000 in multi core.
 
It seems this A27 fixed for me the problems with USB wireless peripheals. By the way I had some troubles for flashing BIOS, M-Flash doesn't show anything on my screen with DisplayPort cable, I had to connect my monitor to HDMI port directly on the motherboard. I ran some benchmarks with OCCT and all seems stable atm.
 
Hello @Svet ,

Even though my messages seem transparent.
1A27 --> same suttering mess on the evening Boot with stucked PCI express speed :

Now I know why Strix are more expensive.

It's probably BIOS related because I didn't have that issue with 1A17 and 1A1A BIOS.
I always came back to 1A1A after the 1A21 and 1A23 try.
I'm not the only one with that PCI express stuck issue particularly with cold boot.

I found a thread on the Nvidia Forum that several guys solved the PCI express stuck problem for days now with enabling Spread Spectrum :
OC -> Advanced CPU configuration -> FCH Spread Spectrum
Il will give it a try.

Back here on the forum as I had been running A26 for a few days and it appeared to fix the random issue so many have had with this MB: a BSOD and then the BIOS showing missing NVMe drive.
Thought it was fixed, until tonight when that exact thing happened. 😿
Stock BIOS settings with no overclocking, latest system and graphics drivers.

Hardware isn't fancy: One keyboard, one mouse, one web-cam, one gamepad and one USB-C authentication fob.

Only thing that may be different that a lot of common systems:
- Maxed RAM to 192Gb
- Have 3 internal hard drives: NVMe OS boot drive, an NVMe "data drive", and a SATA "temp" drive (for video editing, windows temp files, etc.)

March 8th is my return-by date for Amazon; so on the fence if I even bother with A27.
With each BIOS update I keep hoping it fixes the issue, but running for only a few days doesn't seem like a guaranteed way to trigger the bug.

I am using the X870 Tomahawk, and many others have the same problem. After trying this fix, I thought the problem was gone because it didn’t happen even after many reboots and cold boots. But just now, after plugging a USB into the back port and restarting, the problem came back.
 
192Gb is alot of ram i bet you if you ise 64 gb all your problem will go away use 2 sticks.
Bought the board for the large RAM size so if that was the fix it would defeat the primary purpose of specing it out.
My MSI board barely beat out the "ASUS ROG Strix X870E-E" in online comparisons. But if that ASUS board is stable (and these MSI BIOS updates don't address this BSOD), it still looks like a candidate I would switch to.
 
Freezes in sight. I'm looking for the reason the A27 version is freezing the PC and the A26 version isn't. I'm suspecting it's RAM configuration. It's hard to test Geekbench 6 because I'm buggy. My TDC does not exceed 165 and the EDC does not exceed 170.

I gave it a try. It doesn't fix for me. ( enabling FCH Spread Spectrum ) The issue still persist in cold boot. I have created a ticket. Hopefully, MSI reply soon.
 
I think in Bios 1A27, setting the PCIE_E1 to be "Gen 5" instead of "auto" fixs the cold boot stuttering for me. Nevermind, it doesn't work. It still happens sometime in cold boot

Seem to be getting more crashes on A27 at same settings as before, lots of PFN list.
Same here a few strange crashes at my usual speed, also poor benches performance : I reverted to A25 , last really stable firmware with good performance.(A23 was faster but causing boot loop with usb stick plugged in)
Also I'm not sure what is wrong with the PCIe stuck at 1.1 speed, but I do think it 's only when idle : below a picture of gpu-z , on the left the gpu is idle and on the right it's benching :
Do note , that you don't need A26 or + Bios to get PCIe @5.0
