Change BIOS settings to turn off HPET on the MSI Mag Z490 Tomahawk.
Hello everyone, I'm trying to turn off HPET in my BIOS but haven't located it anywhere. I thought it was a hidden setting and spent a lot of time searching without success. While I understand it can be disabled in Windows, I've heard it might not work if it's not set in BIOS. Could you help me figure out how to disable it there? I'm getting really frustrated trying to find a solution.
Check the BIOS settings for Chipset or South Bridge options. If your BIOS lacks these choices, you're likely limited. But if the board model offers many tuning options, I should be able to locate details about it.
The setting wasn’t found in your BIOS. It seems this feature was available on older models but not included in newer ones. You might need to check your specific hardware or contact the manufacturer for guidance.
It's a chipset feature you can turn on or off. On older systems it was tied to SB, but just because it existed doesn't mean it appears in newer models. It seems HPET might now be a standard component rather than an optional one. I reviewed your board's manual and didn<|pad|> to find no direct settings for it. Your BIOS looks similar to the X570 MEG ACE, so the best approach is to explore further—there could be hidden options in the BIOS, and HPET is likely one of them.
You're asking about accessing hidden or less obvious features. To reveal them, you'll need to explore beyond the main interface—look for settings, menus, or advanced options that aren't immediately visible.
It's well hidden here, tucked away among the available choices. There are options with nested menus, each possibly containing further sub-menus. Don't hesitate to dive into your BIOS—remember, the ESC key is your safest tool. Press it repeatedly to exit and avoid saving anything if needed.
