MSI x570 Unify lower performace with latest Bios

[ussssss]

Hi, have MSI x570 Unify paired with 5900x have it well over 1 year , decided to flash the latest bios and peformance has dropped across every benchmark, compared both at stock

flashed 7C35vAE2(Beta version)

• Description:
  - Update to AGESA ComboAm4v2PI 1.2.0.7. - Change the default setting of Secure Boot.

temps/power use are the same clocks are lower with latest bios

I want to flash back the previous bios one below this but I dont see it listed on support page anymore can anyone help where to find it please

Thanks

Found it with help of googling 7C35vAD

dont know why they lowered the performance with new bios

How much of a drop
I'm on 1.2.0.6
And did not notice much of a difference between 1.2.0.7 and 1.2.0.6

Yeah the previous bios was final 1.2.0.7 was fine with bench scores its not on the site anymore after I decided to flash latest bios which is 7C35vAE2(Beta version) on the support page and ended up giving lower scores

I found the previous bios by googling 7C35vAD flashed it back peformance seems to come back slightly lower but that could be because the weather has warmed up its 30c+ in room

have you set anything for PBO limits ? I prefer to have it off and work with having 139watts at max to cpu increasing I dont feel its worth it for what peformance difference with increased power and temps, CPU at max multicore stress doesnt go above 63c

is that -30 negative on all cores ? I would be surprised if that is stable I can run benchmarks and will complete but it isnt stable can randomly restart and real test when in idle

even at -25 few times a week it would restart mostly when in idle or when hardly stressing it , I cant get my head around how people fine tune and test and adjust curve per core

even with PBO disabled I still get core staying mostly 4900mhz-4950mhz when gaming which is mostly single core

Yep -30 all cores and PBO limit is on Auto

PBO is more for your Multi Core loads than single core.

WE do have a on the fly PBO and Curve app that will set it for you with out making changes to the bios I will add it to this post

yeah I have that seen it in another forum also CoreCycler-v0.9.0.0 which can test and show if core failed so can adjust seems very time consuming

wow them limits you should be pushing some watts through that chip ? I get around 22k on multi on CB R24 with chip using 139-145watts and around 1620 in single chip using around 72 watts . temps dont go above 63c

this is with PBO disabled I dont gain much with it enabled unless I play with the power limits which only just pushes more power and heat

is not to bad this is after 3 runs of R23 and Aida 64 for 5 minuets I also set PBO to a bit more realistic value.

And now have the correct setting needed for PBO settings Each CPU will need slight different settings,

PPT will be set 190 Watts
TDC will be set to 125A this will drop voltage a tad as well as max wattage under all core load.
EDC will be set to 230A
