An unbiased and unsponsored MSI Z490I Meg Unify Motherboard Review

[chew*]

yah the boards a tad picky. certain settings tend to make it train. I made profiles and tested extensively to verify they worked even with shotgun approach with defaults loaded to 4000 with 32gb. My settings and profiles are rock solid. The board has some walls and i believe somewhere after 4100 it exists on 2x8gb and it exists over 4000 on 2x16gb. I imagine the walls are similar on the normal unify. if you stay in those ranges and fine tune the settings you can have a reliable booting board every time cold boot or whatever scenario you choose.

It def needs work and I could definitely help fix it but....well currently msi is under scrutiny for various reasons and I prefer not to affiliate myself as I value my rep.

Bios wise there is definitely artificial walls most when you manually tune settings. The board is capable of 4600 with DR maybe even more but the bios is interfering with the ability to do so manually tuned.

I'd share my profiles if i could but the reason I was working on the board was this company www.heliumpc.com and they have exclusive rights to my memory tuning profiles.

Of course there is enough info in this thread to make your own profile
