@MIETAS - Thanks, have to start over on this now I didn't realize there was duplicates of entire section of 10-15 settings below that, that goes with one PBO or another (both w/ different options), until I had already edited all the stuff for the PBO + set of these that you don't see
You have the one with most options, and of course I was editing the set all above this bundle, until I got to the bottom and seen PBO repeated again and noticed all this.
So sorry, slight delay again I will try to get this done for you today as time permits. I'm the cook for Turkey day, so not sure how much free time I will have today, maybe I can get done now before I get started (pies just came out!)

* Edit - Ohh! Nope, you're set IS the one I was editing, so I don't have to start over after all, nice!
* Edit 2 - I see what it was now! One set for CPU with integrated graphics, and the other for CPU without integrated graphics (yours)

@Lost_N_BIOS

oh my... so many obstacles. Thank you for doing this, that's amazing.

@MIETAS - Well, it's my fault, for not looking it all over, but usually there is not so many dupes of stuff, more MSI rubish I guess
Many of the options hidden at CBS, will be revealed on AMD OC page, since I already did it there first. And there is default dupe of Numa Nodes Per Socket - do you want me to hide one, if yes, which?
You're welcome! Almost done, wrapping up CBS now

@Lost_N_BIOS

No need to hide those, choose whatever is easier/quicker for you

@MIETAS - Here you go

@Lost_N_BIOS Hey, I might be getting a bios for the B550 Unify-X soon. Do you think you could HPET mod it if the option isn't already available?
I'm not entirely sure if I'm allowed to release it publicly (in the case I even get it in the first place), so how could I get it to you?

@Lost_N_BIOS

Thank you so much, ure an awesome person. CBS/Overclocking is visible now.
Besides all that great work you've done for me im kinda starting to doubt in that HPET setting @ that MSI board.

with BIOS disable and useplatformclock true i should be seeing QPC timer at 3.580. Thats what im getting with those settings:


Perhaps HARD disable would fix this?

@MIETAS - You're welcome, and thank you
On HPET, yes, it may be that hard disable is needed vs just giving you user access to change, I'm not sure I've ever ran into issues with doing either way.

But maybe, giving you access isn't disabling it and I need to hard disable it by default instead? It may just be due to there is two areas of the BIOS and I've only been editing one for you based on your CPU
I'm not sure, maybe both need edited, but I think that would only matter for an actual change of the default applied value, which I've not done until below. Up till now, I just made it visible to you, for your area of the BIOS based on CPU

Here, try and see. Flash via M-Flash, clear CMOS after flash, boot into BIOS, load optimized, save/apply/reboot back to BIOS, then make all other changes you want
Then check out HPET stuff and see if any different. - http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...069747232060630

This has HPET (Both settings) hard disabled at all NVRAM areas (top/bottom and internal for both CPU families), Setup revealed and disabled by default for both CPU families, and defaults set AMITSE/SetupData for both CPU families as well)
Can't get anymore disabled than this, unless you remove the CPU and then use the system

@LOST_N_BIOS

This is very interesting, lets give it a try! Thank you, thank you !

Maybe this will be the one
You're welcome!

There is one more HPET related setting (MsiDis in HPET) left, set to auto. But, google leads me to believe this is used when actually using HPET, to adjust some effect or use of HPET
I would surmise, that with HPET disabled, anything that says xxx in HPET would not matter/be used, since HPET disabled, so I thought it would be moot point to disable this as well

* Edit - Gotta run and do some big chow fixing, be back in maybe 8-10 hours

@Lost_N_BIOS
Looks like that HPET is broken for this board and its not working (timers remain the same), but hey - it was worth a try
Good thing is - all other settings seem to be working

@MIETAS - Wow, for real?? I've done same edit, Hard and make visible, for other MSI X570 and X490 users and they do not have these issues
Are you using Admin CMD Prompt when you change stuff with BCDEdit? Did you test both True/Yes, and false/No. And, do you reboot after each change to test?? Not sure if it's required, but I always do to be sure change takes effect
Maybe they never check timers, only changing the setting and or hard disable directly solved whatever issue they were having that made them look to disable it?

Sorry, but yes, at least everything is is working properly!
