The user is planning to buy an MSI motherboard with a RGB graphic card and RAM, but they are concerned about the background lighting. They have tried various solutions on Google but have not been successful. The user has upgraded their CPU, motherboard, and cooler, but the Mystic Light is not detecting them.
The user suggests that the issue may be due to outdated BIOS or Dragon Center settings. Resetting the RGB lighting settings and reinstalling the application can help resolve the problem. MSI Mystic Light offers complete control of RGB lighting in one software, including the RGB motherboard, graphics card, and PC case lighting.
The user mentions that they have created nine exclusive preset lighting effects in the “Ambient Mode” tab of Mystic Light, which can be accessed without the need for the Mystic Light. They also mention that if the Mystic Light is enabled in the UEFI BIOS, they can control the lights with Mystic Light after a reboot.
The user questions whether it is possible to turn off Mystic Light in the BIOS, as they don’t want to download unnecessary apps. They suggest that the user reinstall the application and restart their system. They also mention that ESET is blocking a file from MSI Mystic Light, which always starts with is- and ends with.tmp.

Using an MSI BIOS, I show how to setup your PC to get ready for better gaming performance. In this video I go over: CPU Boost, …
I know this is an older article but a bit of advice. The overclock profile from these companies often runs with some very high voltages. I would HIGHLY recommend doing some stress testing while monitoring the temps to make certain your temps are reasonable. High temps can lead to your cpu thermal throttling; leading to worse performance and shorter lifespan.
Well, then. I am most disappointed. I stumbled onto this article, followed his advice, and went looking for future episodes. I had subscribed, and then saw there’s been no additional content for 6 months. Great editing, great audio, pleasant English voice, and well structured chapters. I’m going to stay subscribed, and hope to be notified of future content. You’re sorely missed, my man!
Everyone has their own liking for setting up fan curves, but what I did was set the CPU fan curve and one fan port curve to match. Then used a 4 pin PWM fan controller that I hook up all my fans then hook the controller up to that one fan port on the board. As the CPU fan rises so does all the other fans to match. I know some claim negative air flow is best, but for me I’d rather have zero air flow restriction as much as possible… but that’s just my opinion.
Dont forget that you need to run your FCLK at half your memory bandwidth example (3733Mhz 1867 FCLK) if you’re using a ryzen CPU. Undervolting is typically fine it’s when you start overvolting then it gets dangerous. Also overclocking memory and messing with timings can cause corruption.. I’ve had to run a few sfc/scannow and DSIM restore a few times because of instability crashes lol
I run i9 13900k and when activating that default MSI CPU OC my game freeze (sometimes the whole OS) with warzone 1 and 2. Previously i had i9 9900k with an older MSI motherboards and i also had exactly the same issue making that OC fonctionnality unusable in my case. It is also AIO cooled (previously 240mm Corsair and now 360mm NZXT)
I just found this article as I was browsing some overclocking articles. Very helpful but I was wondering if you had further details on specifically overclocking with that z 690 MSI motherboard on 12th gen CPUs? I previously only overclocked with Asus boards so the MSI layout is quite different and I’m a little nervous to do it without an instructional article.
I have a build of Msi B450m mortar max and ryzen 5 5600g. I dont have a gpu. And, i want to use dual monitor with my apu. I have checked i cannot find igd multi monitor output option in my bios. My on board HDMI is working properly and i used an display port to Hdmi convater for the 2nd monitor but its not working. I have checked Convater is working properly but not getting any output from my displayport. Can anyone help.
I have MSI MPG Z390 GAMING EDGE AC (MS-7B17) with fabric bios from 2018. and cpu i9 9900k, rtx 2070, 64gb RAM …. I never update my BIOS but now I want to instal windows 11 and I must update my bios. My question is, considering that since 2018 there have been many updates, do I have to update one by one or only the last one?
Help! I turned on CPU window below GAME BOOST, enabled “USB STDBY POWER @ S4/S5 and enabled “RESUME BY USB POWER”…saved and exit. I got a blue screen, it says: Your device ran into a problem and needs restart. We are collecting error info and then we will restart”. Stop code: Clock_Watchdog_ Timeout. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks
I prefer to build a system for a specific play resolution of adequate power/quality running stock that I don’t need to stress components with overclocking. I also build them so I don’t have to touch/upgrade them for their designated lifetime of use (or beyond to whoever will end up using it when I move to my next system). I’m currently building a 1440p system this month, & retiring my still-rocking 1080p 2019 gaming build system. My 1440p build will pair the efficient little powerhouse Ryzen 9 7900 12C/24T GPU with the cool, quiet running ASUS TUF version of the 7800 XT, since those two are a great pair for a no-bottleneck robust 1440p gaming system.
I have a problem with my MSI Z 170 A M 7 & 270 A M 7 motherboards that even though they boot up but won’t post to my MSI Optix monitor. I tried HDMI.DP 2.0 cables, but with both my Monitor only shows the Error Message DP no input. Did this Problem occur with your Motherboard too & if possible could you share how you have solved the Problem ? I have ordered an HDMi to D Sub conversion cable but don’t if this will solve the Problem. ? 😊🎬
3:28 I dont have Lanes Source .. I am on b660 tomahawk wifi motherboard and 12100 cpu. Tried to install 990 pro nvme today. But I dont have the Lanes Source option to make it communicate straight with the cpu. However put the 990 pro on the first pci slot next to the cpu and installed windows 10 on it. But I dont know if it communicated straight with the cpu if not I am losing its speed.
Hey, my MSI Pro x670-p MB is slow booting. Almost every reboot will stall, and need to be completely shut down by holding the power button down. It will then restart normal. I have a AMD 7950x with 4 sticks of the same memory. They total 64GBs. I have the latest BIOS as well. EMP profile 1 is enabled. I know that there is a memory settings on other MBs that fix this, but I have no clue here. Great vid. I will subscribe if you have a fix, Thanks again. 7:37
Game Boost – CPU is Dangerous and should not be used, Without warning it overclocks the CPU, GPU, RAM & Voltages Voiding warranty and runs them at insane temps for stability its just so MSI can win Awards from Benchmarking scores. It should never be used without advanced tweaking afterwards, Will notably shorten cpu lifespan even with a good cooler as game boost will push say 1.5 volts on a cpu rated for 1.35volts just so its stable.
I just had replaced a failing asus rog strix b450f-gaming with a msi pro b550-vc wifi board which is supporting a 5700g, 16gb ram auto running at 2666mhz, and a msi mech 6750xt gpu. only thing i have done with the bios that came with the board was turn off the igpu (was noticing some stuttering in destiny) and enable resize bar… not touching overclocking.
My msi b450 max setup my 3.6ghz cpu to 4.4 ghz by default and in the OC option i set the ram to its speed. The problem is the cpu ran fine but in games was jerky until i changed the cpu to 3.6 ghz and let turbo do all the overclocking. I don’t use xmp and my ram run at 3200mhz what it’s rated for. It also reports 3200mhz in task manager. So no, you dont need xmp at least on my mobo. The systen is now stable and doesn’t overheat. For some reason mobo manufacturers set your cpu to run at their highest speeds and burn out your system.
LOL he is full of crap/ Use the intel tuning program. Leave the bios at default install intels tuning program and make 3 simple changes and you will have 1 of the fastest 12 gen setups on the market . I know I have that . 5ghz all core . run xmp 41 or simply stated xmp1 limit boost to 5 ghz and lower the voltage 3 clicks and you will score higher than a stock set up and use less wattage by a large amount, I am a leader on the leader board at 5 ghz all core by alot, and make the reviewers of that cpu look like armatures. 240 watts is easy and 70c on a diy watercooling an easy task.
Hi! I’m about to build a system with an i5 12400. My concern is the TDP, as I have read that MSI likes to mess with Intel’s default TDP’s. Do I choose power limits when I’m selecting the cooler type? My parts aren’t here yet, so I don’t know what TDP’s will show for Tower Air Cooler, but is it safe for TDPs to be over Intel’s defaults (TDP1 65w, TDP2 117w)?
HELLO GRAY! You are my go to guy for MSI! I recently built my last system with an MSI Z390-A Pro with an Intel Pentium Gold Coffee Lake G5400 Duel Core 3.7Ghz Processor! 64 GB DDR4 3200 Ram and a GeForce GTX 1650 article Card! I use this system for Adobe article Editing! Besides ticking the XMP & GAME BOOST button with FAN set to Auto, what else can I do to Overclock this system? I was told by MSI that This is basically a budget gaming board that cannot be manually overclocked? Any advise Would be greatly appreciated!
For some reason when I enabled game boost my pc dosent want to boot up so I’ve had to manually restart bios to default by taking out power battery for 5 mins. Reason why I came across you vid is because I’m getting 60 fps in warzone I have a nvidia 3060ti 4x .. I know that fps is incorrect. I have followed multiple tutorials of in game settings, nvidia graphics settings and window setting and still no luck I’m so confused latest drivers you name it. I csnt figure out the issue if anyone can help it would be much appreciated!
I have to warn you, please do not use cpu boost in your bios. It can set your CPU voltage to dangerous levels and even cause degradation of CPU core. Any voltage over 1,4V is dangerous. You can easy watch some YouTube articles from most popular content creators about overvolting Cpu, and how to properly overclock/boost your cpu
After running game boost mode in BIOS, I get computer A2 error. The computer does not turn on. When I restart the computer, it says A2 on the motherboard, and when I turn it off and on again, the computer turns on. My motherboard is z790 carbon wifi. What do you think is the reason why I get the A2 error every time I turn on the computer for the first time? Thank you.
Hello l’ami, je suis un bleu en informatique, j’ai une carte mere asrock, j’avais 2 disque de 500Go en RAID, je l’ai fais supprimer et depuis mes disques ne montent pas, je les vois dans gestionnaire de peripheriques, je les vois dans diskpart/list disk mais je ne les vois pas comme le disque C dans une fenetre; quand je clique sur gestion de l’ordinateur ou gestion du disque ca tourne puis rien aucune fenetre ne s’affiche. Comment regler cela dans le bios ? Aussi dans le bios quand je mets en AHCI, il relance le pc et systematiquement ecran bleu, du coup j’ai mis en EDI mais bon ca mouline pas comme je veux car je voudrais utiliser mes HDD de 500Go chacun. Tu peux m’aider svp ?
Small warning to future people: XMP is an overclocking feature and turning it on can cause system instability, void your CPU warranty and may require some fiddling to get just right. Really make sure you know your CPUs maximum memory speed, as well as your RAMs max speed and its compatability (if its Intel XMP or AMD Expo). In my case, the default XMP Profile boosted the memory speed too high and caused some LEDs on the Motherboard to turn on, while also significantly slowing down boot time. And for general purpose computer usage and normal gaming, you usually don’t need XMP enabled.
Nomas habia sacado y metido el ram despues de limpiar la pc por que medijeron que me ayudaria ah que valorant no me crashee oh congele la o mas tambien von apex pero raro. Bueno y que me sale la pantalla esta que hace mucho no miro de este article y estaba intentando copiar lo que el men hacia pero no tengo las mismas opciones aunque sean la misma bios 5 … Creo que es por que este article fue hace un año. Y pues yo nomas me intente acordar que haria el yo de hace tiempo y nomas le pique ala X y me sali y ya estamos pa 🙂 todo normal
Hey everybody, new to the PC world and am still learning everything. I just built my first PC ever. I’m stuck on the bios menu and I have a PCIe gen3 x4 m.2 ssd, and it’s seems it’s not being read/detected. I tried reseated it 3 times, and now I’m buying a new m.2 If that doesn’t work maybe it’s a problem with the MOBO??? I Havnt tried updating my bios yet maybe that being the reason, I’m still trying to learn if it’s up to date or not If anyone has any solutions please give me a reply, thanks
My mpg z390 gaming plus wont keep its bios settings/wont run period with XMP on or on the correct ram speed with XMP disabled. i5-8400 & 4 matched g.skill 16g 3200 mhz . I get a boot loop or fail and it reverts to optimized settings (XMP off and 2666mhz). if I set it manually to 3200 (or any setting between that and 2666) it runs but doesn’t seem like its running well enough (I do cad and 3d modeling/rendering) and the next time I start or restart the pc it goes straight back to bios and reverts the RAM speed and repeat. I’m a total newb at messing with bios so any insight would be great.
ive been trying to get this message across to folks for literal years. OCing is not dumb. Expecting it to turn your PC into god mod is dumb. Learning how to talk to your hardware and correct these one size fits all set and forget default configs or a mobos “we need the highest clocks so it advertises better, who cares if it could blow the cpu into pieces”. Educate yaself before you conflagrate yaself. yaself.
I got a question, I recently got a new motherboard, and Ive wanted to activate my XMP profile, I didn’t do anything else but choose the profile and rebooted, but the computer did not boot, I reset the motherboard and lucky it worked again, now the question is, what could have caused this none boot to happen? and what should I do to activate the XMP profile with out risking a none boot again the XMP profile as my ram to 3333hrz but my ram are 3600 so it should be a no issue boot what should i change to that it would work
