I built this new computer about four weeks ago now
Z490 Gaming Edge Wifi
Intel i5 10600KF
MSI GTX 1060 Armor 6G OCV1
32GB RAM - 2 x Corsair Vengenance LPX 16GB 3200
NVME 256GB - Windows 10 Pro (Legacy BIOS)
NVME - 512GB (programs)
SATA - 2TB (files)
Windows was cloned from my previous computer
As it is a retail key I have done this several times without any issues
Once cloned a clean install is then performed
All the updates are then performed
I did not really pay much attention to the BIOS at the beginning, trying to avoid changing any settings until later
I used the BIOS to set the XMP to take advantage of the RAM overclock, now set to 3200 MHz
I then had to set the BIOS to CSM in order to use MultiMonitor on the GTX 1060 GPU
I then tested a few more XMP settings, but found little benefit
I then installed the MSI Center
The idea was to allow me to test some fan curves and then CPU overclocking
I noticed the default (BIOS) fan speeds were rather aggressive, so this was the first thing I wanted to calibrate
I could then take these settings and copy them to the BIOS
However as soon as I launch the MSI Center, the following happens :
In the Task Manager the MSI Center is using about 95% of CPU (and this appears to be the issue)
The Clocks go from 800MHz / 4100MHz / 4701MHz to (all six) 4800MHz
The CPU Temperature goes from 35'C / 40'C to 80'C / 90'C
The CPU fan starts at 520rpm, then is joined by the other three fans and they all go to maximum
The GPU does not change
When I quit (close or end task) MSI Center the system returns back
I do not know what MSI Center is doing, but that does not appear to be correct!
As a result I have not used it since (except to create this topic)
However ever since this first use of the MSI Center I cannot access the BIOS
I have searched to make sure there is not something else loading related to the MSI Center
MSI Center appears in the StartUp tab, but is set to disabled
I submitted a Support Ticket to Intel, but they advised to contact MSI
As my previous topic, I have submitted a Support Ticket, but I just want to make sure I have not overlooked something whilst I wait for reply
What have I overlooked?
