I need help to oc and to update my bios

funnydavid99 · May 22, 2018

Hi i have an amd r5 1400 and a MSI - B350M GAMING PRO Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard.
Im not sure to do a bios update on this motherboard at all and i need some help with the r5 1400 oc to at least 3.8ghz. If your able can you guys write steps on how to do the bios update.

To perform BIOS update head to:
https://msi.com/Motherboard/support/B350M-GAMING-PRO
Download latest BIOS package, unpack it and move .G20 file on your pendrive.
All the steps from your motherboard manual:
1. Press Del key to enter the BIOS Setup during POST.
2. Insert the USB flash drive that contains the update file into the computer.
3. Select the M-FLASH tab and click on Yes to reboot the system and enter the flash mode.
4. Select a BIOS file to perform the BIOS update process.
5. After the flashing process is 100% completed, the system will reboot automatically.

how oc this cpu

To perform OC you can either change your multiplier or cpu frequency but besides pushing the clock you need to have some more knowledge about voltages, stability etc.
Video about overclocking on your motherboard:

Keep in mind that overclocking may lead to damaging your CPU and if you're not familiar with this process you should stick to the "automatic" overclock options. As far as i can see on your BIOS there is a button called GAME MODE, just turn it on and it should apply a maximal stable clocks for your CPU.

BIOS Overclocking

The Guru3D reader-base overclocks mostly from the BIOS to try and find the maximum stable limit. The generic overclock procedure for multiplier based overclocking is as follows:

-Leave base clock (bus) for what it is right now (100 MHz)

-Set the per core multiplier at a maximum of your liking:

-Example 1: 100MHz x 39 = 3900 MHz
-Example 2: 125MHz x 31 = 3875 MHz

-Increase CPU voltage; often the AUTO works fine on many motherboards you can do it manually as well. Start at 1.40 volts (or voltage offset (start with +200Mv)) and work your way upwards into a state of equilibrium in perf and cooling temps.

-Make sure your processor is properly cooled by adding voltage = more heat

-Save and Exit BIOS / uEFI

What we did:

-Enable 3900 MHz (39 Multiplier)

-Left Voltage at AUTO

-Enable XMP on our memory kit (3200 MHz CL14)

-Locked the GPU in at 1500 MHz / 1.2v

As a 20 year builder and overclocker, I would strongly recommend *NOT* using the motherboard's software to overclock. Generally it pushes more voltage than is necessary. Overclocking is an art by trial and error and it takes patience. This also means you need to do your homework and read up on the basics of what it really is on your hardware and advanced techniques to fine tune a custom overclock where the best balance between overclock, voltage, heat, and stability are met. Nobody can give you exact step by step direction and input numbers here because every build is unique and may perform differently or at worst case destroy your hardware in overclock scenarios.

my memory is oc to 2600mhz not sure if i wanna increase it more than i should.
its base clock was 2400mhz i believe i did a modest oc to the memory.

Overclocking memory is not worth it. All it does is decrease stability. Ryzen chipsets are even more sensitive than Intel to memory overclocking.

i know how to oc on most mobos except msi. i have a fx 8320 and i was able to push it to like 3.6ghz on stock cooler.

The OC principles are all the same. The interface and language may be a little different than what you might be used to. This is why you need to read the BIOS navigation section of your manual before even doing anything. When I upgraded from my Core 2 Duo ASUS build with the old blue background and white lettering text based BIOS to my first i-Series build (Sandy Bridge i5 2500K), the BIOS menu was completely different and more visual more like a Windows interface. It took some getting used to but I caught on pretty quick.
