Setup Tips
Update Your BIOS First
Before installing your operating system, use the Flash BIOS button or enter the UEFI to update to the latest BIOS version for optimal memory compatibility and Ryzen stability.
Enable AMD EXPO
Navigate to the Click BIOS 5 home screen and toggle your RAM profile to EXPO to ensure your DDR5 memory runs at its advertised high frequency rather than default JEDEC speeds.
Connect the Dual 8-Pin Power Plugs
Ensure both 8-pin CPU power cables from your power supply are plugged securely into the top-left of the motherboard to prevent power throttling under heavy multithreaded loads.
Utilize the Gen 5 M.2 Slot Carefully
Install your primary operating system NVMe drive into the top M.2 slot closest to the CPU socket, ensuring you peel off any protective plastic film from the M.2 Shield Frozr thermal pad.
Install MSI Center Selectively
When installing MSI Center in Windows, choose custom installation to select only the monitoring and utility tools you need while omitting bloated optional modules.
