Some comments on:
" MSI B85-G43 gaming (ATX) + post #16, OC was
4.5 Ghz... Glad to see Non-Z overclocking still working on that board in 2014)"
It seems that OC is still locked for "MSI B85-G43 gaming (ATX)" for any bios I could find around, including C0-C6 (v12.0-12.6) available from MSI support site, as well as the leak bios recently discussed on various OC forums.
I flashed all of them today with negative results. The board came from newegg recent MB+G3258 deal. It came with 12.4 bios, if I remeber correctly after all that multiple attempts.
I also have v3.3, and 3.4 bios images for regular MSI B85-G43 (not gaming), obviously it has different network controller vs gaming MB, so I did not try those images yet.
So two questions to the community:
1. Did anybody try the bios for regular MSI B85-G43 on gaming MB?
2. Could the forum members who have some personal experience with MSI B85-G43 gaming (ATX) confirm, this MB is indeed overclockable, and on what bios?
Thanks,
