MSI announced that its latest Z790 series motherboard BIOS has implemented the "Intel Default Settings" feature and recommended configurations based on Intel's latest guidelines to improve the stability of 13th/14th Gen Core processors.
MSI said that according to Intel's official power profile, Intel's default settings provide two Power Limit configurations, "Performance" and "Extreme", allowing motherboard manufacturers to choose one of the configurations as the default setting according to the motherboard design, while MSI motherboards' Intel Default Settings use the recommended performance settings.
When booting the BIOS for the first time, users can select the Intel default settings in the "Select CPU Cooler Type" window, which can be understood as the original push-down air-cooled cooler, due to its limited heat dissipation performance, so the power wall settings will be relatively low. In order to meet the different performance needs of users, MSI offers two other power limit settings: one is a tower air-cooled radiator and the other is a water-cooled radiator.
If your CPU can run stably and you want to release more CPU performance, you can try to choose the other two settings to increase the power limit of your CPU to improve performance. Users can notice that when selecting "Tower Air Cooler" and "Water Cooler", the system will display a corresponding message to remind you that selecting the corresponding profile may reduce the stability of the system, so that the user is fully aware of the possible risks.
If you want to change the power limit setting in the BIOS, you can select "CPU Cooler Tuning" from the BIOS.
