Hey Everyone,
I just finished building my ryzen 7 1700. I have the msi b350 tomahawk and it is currently running on version .160 and now there is .190. Problem is that when i turn on game boost for the motherboard, it actually drops to 1.55 ghz instead of the stock 3.0. Also when i try switching the xmp profile, it continues to remain at 2133 mhz. Would you say that in this case i should update the bios? I will be mostly using it for gaming/ school work.
Also if I do update it, do i need a bootable usb to use m flash or can it be any normal usb? Some sites show bootable whereas others show just a regular storage usb. Any important thinigs i should consider when updating bios?
here are the specs:
cpu: ryzen 7 1700
mobo: msi b350 tomahawk
psu: evga 550 g2
gpu: r9 280x
ram: g skill 4 series 3000 mhz
cooler: noctua nh d15s
Thanks in advance!
