Will updating my BIOS update the BIOS UI software?

r0eladn · Oct 13, 2018

hello,

I currently have bios version 2.7 with a H110m ECO MSI 7994 motherboard.

I am looking to set XMP profile in bios, however my bios ui software (with ui software i mean click bios 5 for example) does not have an OC section.

Does my bios ui software upgrade when i download the latest (7994v2D) bios upgrade? (in the hope this version does give me an OC section with me being able to enable XMP profile)

cause if not i do not want to risk the flash going wrong/it can save me some time.

thanks

What speed is your memory modules advertised speed, the speed it LISTS and has on the XMP profile? What speed are you TRYING to run it at?

What are your FULL system specs, including the memory module part numbers, CPU, power supply , etc?

I used CPU-Z, i got 16GB (2x8gb modules) of DDR4, NB Frequency says 3180Mhz or so, DRAM Frequency says 1060Mhz.

I do not know the advertised speed, i think i just mentioned the speed it lists, and there is absolutely nothing on XMP profiles in my bios, so i cant tell you what the XMP profile says.

I just want to optimize the speed because of gaming.

I can give you my full system specs, but i think that goes a little beyond the specific question that im asking.

please let me know why you need that info, and if its absolutely necessary i will open my rig and get your answers.

That is low end motherboard. Supports ram modules up to 2133mhz. XMP is not supported.

Actually, it does NOT go beyond the criteria of the question you are asking because that board supports different memory based on which CPU is installed. Which is weird, and not how memory compatibility is usually reckoned.

Unlike the answer SkyNetRising gave you, I actually did the research to find the correct answer (Sorry SkyNet) and it seems that on Skylake only 2133mhz is supported, but depending on the memory module, 2400mhz memory speeds are supported on that board with a Kaby lake CPU. This, according to the MSI QVL list for that board.

i have an i5-6400, for more specs on the memory modules i think i have to open up my pc(?)

Darkbreeze · Oct 13, 2018

That is Skylake, so you are limited to 2133mhz with that CPU.

r0eladn · Oct 13, 2018

ok, so am i utilizing the maximum out of my modules right now? My DRAM frequency in CPU-Z shows as 1060mhz.

edit: nevermind, i think i do!

and thanks!

Yes, they are double data rate, hence, DDR, so 1060x2 is roughly 2133mhz, give or take a few mhz.
