Configuration can be done through either a multi-point curve across all fans or each fan can be controlled individually. The hardware monitor allows users to control fans installed onto any of the six available 4-pin headers. For the memory, the B450 Tomahawk offers official support for up to DDR4-3466 but for users looking to try their luck, opening up the DRAM frequency strap selector offers up to a maximum of DDR4-4200. As a consequence of being a budget-focused motherboard, MSI hasn't included an external clock generator, so the base clock frequency is locked down to 100 MHz. The list of settings includes all of the relevant settings for adjusting the processor's ratio which can be done in increments of 100 MHz. Ooverclocking related settings are in the section named 'OC'. The ‘advanced’ section of the BIOS can be accessed by pressing the F7 key and in the middle panel features some MSI Arsenal range of branding, the series this board hails from. The advanced section offers the OC section for overclocking the CPU and memory, an M-Flash section or updating the boards firmware to the latest version, a hardware monitor for setting and creating custom fan profiles and board explorer which allows users to get a birds-eye view of the board and its installed components. It should be noted that the B350 Tomahawk would apply an extra 200 MHz than this model which in our overclocking testing equates to around a 14 ☌ with the 3.2 GHz at 1.2 V that Game Boost applies compared to 1.4 V which when manually overclocking, allows our chip to hit 4.0 GHz a massive improvement over 3.2 GHz at 1.4 V. This marks a massive improvement in terms of voltage over the B350 Tomahawk which would apply a much heftier voltage of 1.4 V on the CPU. With the Game Boost applied, the B450 Tomahawk put a total of 1.2 V on the CPU VCore of our Ryprocessor when at full load. For reference and first-generation Ryzen users, the Game Boost applies a 3.8 GHz overclock to a Ryzen 7 1800X, 3.6 GHz to a Ryand a very modest 3.2 GHz to a Ryprocessor. The Game Boost button applies different settings based on whichever model of processor is installed. Throughout the whole of the BIOS at the top of the screen is the Game Boost one-click overclocking button as well as a one-click A-XMP memory profile button the settings applied depends on the installed CPU and RAM respectively. Core and key details such as CPU frequency, CPU core voltage, DRAM frequency and even the RAMs XMP profiles can be viewed using the coinciding menus on the left-hand side. The EZ mode offers users with basic information on installed components such as the CPU, memory and storage devices. When users turn the motherboard for the first time and enter the BIOS (pressing Del or F2 during POST), the initial entry screen is the first one to come up. ![]() ![]() The firmware is separated into two main areas which include an ‘Easy’ mode for the newcomer and an ‘advanced’ mode for more competent users looking to tweak and change settings such as voltages and frequencies. The previous RGB effect which was configured with RGB Fusion 2 will be replaced with a static red color.Most of the following analysis on this page is taken from our MSI X470 Gaming Plus motherboard review as both models use the same MSI Click 5 BIOS and feature a near identical software bundle.Īll of the AM4 socket motherboards we have seen so far from MSI all feature Click BIOS 5 firmware and like the rest of the gaming branded MSI offerings, the B450 Tomahawk’s variant of the Click 5 BIOS has a dominant black background with red accentuation and white text throughout. When both software are running simultaneously, the selected RGB effect on the product will follow the last adjustment.įor example: When you attempt to set the LED effect to Static mode with a red color through the RGB Fusion in GCC. The two software can be installed and executed in the same environment at the same time.īoth RGB Fusion in GCC and RGB Fusion 2 can be used to control the RGB effects of supported products. RGB Fusion 2 : Can be downloaded directly from RGB Fusion 2 page or the products' page. RGB Fusion in GCC: Is available for download and install through Update Center when supported components are detected. ![]() For supported RGB products and motherboard models please refer to the RGB Fusion 2 support page. RGB Fusion 2: GIGABYTE's earlier RGB control software which is capable of running independently without dependence of other software. RGB Fusion in GCC: Includes newly designed UI with optimized RGB Sync methodology that comes with Gigabyte Control Center (GCC).
