Hey there, I noticed something unusual on my board and wanted to see if anyone has experienced this before or has any ideas. It seems only the first OC profile loads reliably in BIOS; sometimes the second-to-last one does too, but all others reset back to a blank profile when the system restarts. The only solution I've tried for retaining more than one profile is saving them to a USB drive, which isn't too big of a hassle since I always have a USB with Memtest86 and the current BIOS file named MSI.ROM on it in case I need to restore things later. If this points to a bigger problem, I'd appreciate your advice before the deadline passes.

Details: The board functions perfectly, OC settings work fine, and I've had two different CPUs without major issues—except for one. Initially, I saw low numbers on my first CPU, so I went back to an older BIOS (it was a Beta version) and it just halted at 50%. After letting it run for a few hours, I restarted and used the flashback feature on the back panel; everything came back. Up until that point, I'd only used the first OC slot, so I'm not sure if this happened before. Once I began memory tuning, I started using a second profile. Keeping everything on USB isn't ideal long-term, especially since I feel a bit guilty for missing a setting that could have helped.

Let me know if anyone has encountered this—I didn’t find much on Google, maybe my search terms weren’t optimal. Thanks!

Beta indicates the testing stage. Generally, updating to a Beta BIOS version isn't advised unless necessary. It might just reflect the current situation. Consider another BIOS update instead...

It seems you're wondering about the best approach for your next update—whether to focus on a particular revision or stick with the most recent stable version.

It's not uncommon for a quick glance at the BIOS to raise some surprises. You don't need to refresh the BIOS, but I wanted to remind you that Beta versions can behave unexpectedly.
