Question RAM frequency downgraded after updating the BIOS ?

[hamid7508]

Hello,
I have an MSI MEG Aegis Ti5 12th Desktop PC.

After updating the BIOS to version 870, the XMP option was removed from the BIOS and the RAM frequency was downgraded to the base speed 3600MHz. Before the update it was at 4800MHz.
Is there a way to re-enable the XMP option?

I would try and clear the CMOS and see if that has any affect on your default ram profile in BIOS but all fingers tend to point towards the BIOS update being the cuplrit. Please be wary that downgrading the BIOS to the version prior to 870 might leave you with a bricked platform.

If you were yet within the return window, I'd have asked you to return the prebuilt and build something from the ground up since the 12th Gen Intel platform's sweet spot was with DDR4-3200MHz/3600MHz dual channel tight latencied ram kits. Even if you were on your prior ram speeds, you're leaving performance on the table.

Please be wary that downgrading the BIOS to the version prior to 870 might leave you with a bricked platform.

The only version available for download and installation is version 870. and there is no way to revert back to the previous version.
