Question Motherboard Error Codes - MSI - MEG - UNIFY - X Z690

[JayBas]

Hi!

I have MSI - MEG - UNIFY - X - Z690 motherboard. It's working fine and I haven't had any issues whatsoever in 1 year and 4 months.

However, I have rotating error codes that are being displayed.

30-31-59-60.

I'm able to use the XMP 1 profile without any issue, and the ram detects fine.

I have updated to the latest bios.

Just wondering, should I be concerned and what/ if any are my next steps?

Thanks for helping out!

When are you seeing these "codes"?

The Z590 Unify boards with the display show CPU temperatures when in the OS environment. Is this what you are seeing with the newer model?

 

[JayBas]

The code numbers are appearing once Windows is loaded. For example, I'm in my browser right now and writing this. The code is shifting between 30 & 31. It was code 58 roughly 1 minute ago.

I have CPUID HW Monitor active, and the CPU temperatures are steady between 29 & 33 Celsius.

I restate, once you are loaded into windows that display is showing CPU temperature. These are NOT error codes.

Thank you so much for the clarification!

I really appreciate the help. I have been very antsy with the 4090 and concerns with a potential fire.

Your answer made my day!

Enjoy your Sunday!

You are welcome.

To be fair, if I had not recently purchased the ATX version of that model board (different chipset), I probably would not have known without hunting.

Hey, I'll take that win any day!

Sharing knowledge is great - I won't forget this tidbit of information!

Cheers to a successful hunt!
