new gx620/1651 bios out

http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=135&prod_no=1529

just flashed no oc options like the last one not sure so far but seems to run great. it does allow the turbo button though if you flashed the 1651 to the 620 and as normal it allows it on the 620 anyway. just no options in the bios for anything.

 

So it's locked at 15% OC?

 

It should be 15 or 20%, thats what mine says, max oc is 20%

 

Updated , Thanks zfactor
this bios updates the Intel MRC = Memory Reference Code

Updating MRC Used to improve the reliability of certain Memory DIMMs.

no not with this bios. this bios does not have a option to pick from its set at 15%

 

Ok, I didnt update, Mine still has the option for 15% or 20%. I havent updated this bios, only the Firmware. If its not broken dont mess with it.

 

then you still have the 1.0s there has been 2 bios releases after that

 

Yeah, I just dont like messing with bios updating unless it is really worth it. My unit runs very well so at this point I will not update it, thanks again for sharing the update!!

 

There are 2 EC Firmware versions, Non Turbo and Turbo.

EC Firmware Non Turbo: 1651EMS3.431
EC Firmware Turbo: 1651EMS1.431

 

^^ correct but even with the turbo ec firmware this new bios does not allow any adjustments at all like 1.0s did

 

My Bios version says 1.0p

 

yeah anything including or prior to 1.0s had the features. yours is even older than i thought then. i would personally at least go to the 1.0s in your case if you still want the extras

 

Where do I get the 1.0s?? Whats the extras that come with the 1.0s? Thanks..

 

1.0s has the same options as you have but there were some fixes made to it over yours. ill see if i can still find a link

 

Ok thanks so much.. +rep points..

beat me to it.

 

I still gave ya a rep point though, Thanks again!!

 

Thanks for the heads up on the bios and the links. Refrained me from losing that extra 5% juice for an updated MRC I do not need.

 

I know it's been a few months, so that link is to the 1.0Z BIOS. Does this newer BIOS have the features of 1.0S? (Because I know 1.0U and 1.0V lost many options, particularly the 15% or 20% overclock option as per zfactor's experience)

 

The choice of 15-20% is still no longer available. It is set by default @ 15% for dual core and cannot be changed.

 

No, the 1.0s is the last GX620/MS-1651 Bios that has all the advanced settings, all the ones after it, including the 1.0z do not.

 

That's unfortunate... I'd truly appreciate it if someone found a link to the 1.0S. The best I could find was 1.0P, which apparently has the 15%/20% option too?

On the other hand, I bet 1.0Z has some updates that might be more worth it...

 

In the download URL of the 1.0z bios replace the z after the 1.0 with an s and you have it, its the method i used.

Edit: I did it for you : http://download1.msi.com/files/downloads/bos_exe/1651_10s.zip

 

Thanks. Rep'd you, even though I have 0 rep power

 

one thing to note for those who buy the 620 or 1651 and have the upgrade to win7. if you flash the bios to anything prior to 1.0z you will loose the slic table in the bios to activate win7 oem wise. anything prior have the slic for vista pre installed in the 620 bios but not for win7 so your win7 will go to non activated status after removing 1.0z...

just wanted people to know since they were still asking about 1.0s with the options in it. for 1.0s it will not automatically activate the oem version for you
