No ETA right now. I asked MSI to make me aware as soon as the BIOS is available for internal testing.

Looks like MSI has released their production version 7E06vAF

Picked up a lightly used B750 yesterday, and am about to dive in. As far as I can see, the installed bios is the one you have listed here for MSI Pro Z690-A WIFI DDR4 (E7D25IZ1.MF). It says it was installed in March 2023. I’d like to be recent going forward. Do you know which MSI build it’s based on?

@raeshao

It's based on 7D25v1K.

What is the latest bios/UEFI for a POWERSPEC B944? I need to run virtualization on it and I'm having some issues with the current bios (MicroElectronics B944/PRIME Z790-V AX, BIOS 1645 03/15/2024). Can I get any help updating this to a recent bios/UEFI version? Thanks

I have a Powerspec G482 and my computer keeps restarting because of a Kernel-Power Event in the event viewer. I hope it has something to do with the BIOS driver which hasn't been updated since October '24 - before the 5090 it uses came out.

Can we please get an updated BIOS for it?

Emailed it to you this morning, but unlikely to be the issue. Most likely a defective or failing PSU.

Hi Mike, could I also get the latest bios for the Gigabyte Z890 AORUS ELITE X ICE? Mine shipped with bios version F9c

When I attempt to update using the packages directly from Gigabyte, I get an OEMID mismatch or a BIOS version mismatch from Q-Flash.

I am pursuing the bios update as I upgraded the RAM to
G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 96GB DDR5-6400 PC5-51200 CL32 Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit F5-6400J3239F48GX2-TZ5RK

but it seems to be running at a slower clock speed of 4400 MT/s instead of 6400. When I enable XMP, the machine is unable to boot until I restore defaults.

F16c. That's hard on the memory controller. Stock behavior is to downclock below the JEDEC on 2DPC configurations, so the 4400 is to be expected.

Got it, I thought I read something along those lines on the packaging so I appreciate the clarification. Thank you for the download and the info!
