Motherboard msi B550I Gaming Edge Wifi
- Thread starter SimonC
- Start date
FYI: I chatted with a Newegg rep, and was told they are expecting stock of the MSI B550I board on 7/6/2020. The date is approximate though and not a guarantee.
Ebuyer originally claimed they would have stock on June 19th. I had some rather significant doubts and indeed that ended up being the case and they actually have no idea when they will have stock. Ended up going for a 10600k and a Z490i instead. Bit more expensive but didn’t want my other components sat sadly in their boxes any longer lol.
Third party seller listings on Newegg and Amazon in the US appeared this morning, but at +$60 over MSRP. Hopefully this means the stock is making its way over and we might start seeing first party inventory soon.
Previous estimate timed out 2 days ago. Were quickly closing in on a month of me checking in 3 times a day.
I just got this mobo. The M.2 mini fan only runs when the drive is under load. Most of the time under normal use, it's not spinning.
The only thing I dislike is MSI moved the front panel connection (power) to the opposite far end.

Country and retailer? So far I've only seen a post or two elsewhere from Netherlands having received any.
In stock at Newegg Canada but they bumped the shipping from $8 to $20 since it ships from USA.
I am from Singapore and it's released for sale here. Stocks are very limited at the moment.
I grab one. Looks like low first batch. All gone in 12 hours on Newegg. Will do mod for clearmos switch.
I can only get one from Amazon due to shipping restrictions at all the other online retailers I’ve checked. At the moment I’ve only seen listings from 3rd Party sellers which are marked up $40 - $50.
Like @NOKYARD I’ve also been checking availability a few times a day.
My choice of AIO is also going to be tough to get. I want the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240 which is never in stock ?

Yep - setting it to "-"
Should PBO be set to something as well? All is Auto/default at the moment, except for the offset
Editing my post:
I will go for buggy BIOS and poor voltage control. I installed MSI Dragon (the type of programs I try to avoid) and it obviously has profiles (changing fans, clock speed, voltages). I can't edit these (at least I can't see where).
So, here is me, sitting on the desktop just changing between Silent and Extreme Performance. Notice the fan speed and the temperature:

1.39V? Is that voltage consistent? If so, and that reading is correct, that might degrade your chip if given enough time. Shouldn't be a risk at those clocks, but still... Damn, that board needs a BIOS update.
Without the Dragon software it is even worse - it is 1.41v to 1.45v. Well, after I set the minimum CPU state in Windows, it gets down to 0.9v-1.1v while idling but this is like 20% of the time.
There is actually newer BIOS but it is still marked as beta. We will see - I already wrote in MSI forum and also I have a ticket with them. Maybe they will tell me to load this beta bios.
