MSI BIOS Update Unlocks Higher TDP Mode for AMD Ryzen 9000 Series

New BIOS feature boosts performance by increasing thermal design power for Ryzen 9700X and 9600X CPUs.

MSI's AGESA 1.2.0.1 BIOS update allows users to increase TDP from 65W to 105W on select AMD CPUs.
Initial benchmarks show a 13% performance increase in multi-core tests for the Ryzen 7 9700X.
The update is available for MSI's 600-series AM5 motherboards, with broader support expected soon.
This feature prioritizes performance over efficiency, with further BIOS updates anticipated in late September.
MSI leads in implementing this feature ahead of AMD's official rollout.
