MSI will release the newest AGESA 1.2.0.7 BIOS Firmware for its motherboards in a few days, which will include overclocking support for the new AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 3D V-Cache CPU. The updated BIOS includes a number of new capabilities, and we now have our first glimpse at the overclock data.
MSI Prepares To Release AGESA 1.2.0.7 BIOS Firmware; Also Displays AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D Performance With 4.86 GHz ‘BCLK’ Overclocking
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard that the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D has the ability to overclock. On the MSI MEG X570 GODLIKE motherboard, we’ve already seen the processor exceed 5 GHz and record up to 12% performance increases when overclocked.
We can now confirm that MSI’s MEG X570 GODLIKE motherboard and other choices with external clock generators support 3D V-Cache chip overclocking, and MSI will release a new BIOS to allow customers to do so.
The new MSI BIOS is also unique in that it is based on the future AMD AGESA 1.2.0.7 BIOS software. According to the changelog, AGES 1.2.0.7 provides:
- Resolve the fTPM problem that is causing game stuttering.
- The 300 series chipsets support the most recent Ryzen CPU/APUs, such as the Ryzen 7 5800X3D.
The AMD AGESA 1.2.0.7 BIOS will first be released to MSI 500 and 400 series AM4 motherboards in the coming days, with a 300 series release scheduled for next month. The 300 series motherboards will now be able to handle the newest Ryzen 5000 CPU and APU lines, including the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. A snapshot from the Ryzen SMU checker comparing AGESA 1.2.0.7 to AGESA 1.2.0.6 (Patch C) firmware is shown below:
One interesting aspect of the next BIOS, particularly for the MSI MEG X570 GODLIKE, is that it will have a new ‘CPU Base Clock (MHz)’ adjustment option. This will be accessible on the AGESA 1.2.0.7-based 1H1 BIOS, and users will be able to alter the chip’s base clock for overclocking. The following MSI boards will support AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU BCLK overclocking:
- MEG X570 GODLIKE
- MEG X570 ACE
- X570 Unify
The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D delivered a 5% increase in multi-threaded performance and a 7% increase in single-threaded performance, as planned. This should close the performance gap that the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D experienced with the Ryzen 7 5800X owing to its lower clock speeds.
It is crucial to remember that CPU BCLK overclocking on AMD Ryzen CPU platforms will have an impact on the stability of PCIe, SATA, and M.2 devices.
As a result, the highest BCLK overclock you can obtain from your chip is highly dependent on your CPU, graphics card, and SATA/M.2 SSD. When you overclock your Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU, newer graphics cards, such as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20/30 series, are particularly sensitive to BCLK overclocking and may become unstable.
