Hi, Mike.

What profile? What profiles are available? Where did you see that profiles were available?

It’s in the action where the guy shows what’s settings to adjust in the Bios.

You’re using both an MSI MB and an MSI Power Supply. Digital Power is something intergrated into MSI Power Supplies so I assume the Motherboard identifies this.

However, I have no idea if your power supply has this intergrated. Perhaps it’s all nothing to worry about?

A reference to Digital Power

Could be that I don’t need to worry about it. I could always fiddle with it later if I want.

I’ve never known a BIOS to do this, but perhaps these profiles only show up when you have Digital Power available in your PSU

However, two things
1. I have no idea really what I am talking about
2. Allegedly, this guy in the video is using an InWin power Supply

Mike, you are right. Don’t stress any more about it. You can go back to it as the BIOS isn’t going anywhere.
if it’s available now (or with a BIOS Update) it will be available later.

As for changing BIOS settings, I barely do, if at all touch the BIOS. I set to defaults and happy days. The very minimal these days is turning on intergrated graphis so I can attach monitor 5 & 6.

I used to Overclock my little heart out once. not at all these days, Motherboards and hardware just know each other these days.

How are you, Mike?

My son is heading to Tassie early March and is trying to coax me into going. I don’t know if he has a need or wanting to go to jail but if he takes me, it’s likely to happen. It’s just how I roll.
I have only been on your good Island once about 35 years ago for a month to meet my birth father in Ulverstone for the first time, he was a tosser.
I haven’t been back since. But what I remember about the other 30 days of that month, is that the unmarked areas of Tassie are just beautiful. Went on lots of walks and rides. In fact, Tassie in general was a beautiful place. I loved the speed of everything, nice and relaxed. Well it was 35 years ago.

"Digital Power" is MSI's term for a CPU power profile. Not something I fiddle with, usually.

I wonder whether the "Wraith Stealth Cooler" is adequate for the CPU? The 7600X seems to use a fair few Watts. If it runs hotter than you'd like, there are inexpensive third-party coolers, but I don't know what's available in the Southern hemisphere.

We can basically get our hands on anything from any country. But then enters difficult warranty issues. Also, there is the matter of paying twice as much for something, on the grounds of taxes I assume.

This is where I shop in Australia. Pretty flawless site:

www.umart.com.au

Umart.com.au | Australia's No.1 Computer Store

Umart.com.au is Australia's No.1 Computer Store, with the best prices on Computer Parts, Desktops, Laptops, Tablets, Gaming, Drones, Printers and more!
www.umart.com.au www.umart.com.au

Search for something, check the price and you’ll see what I mean. Also, our dollar is worth some ridiculously low figure. For all I know these days, 5 cents on the USD lol

All I see online is a multilanguage PDF. (33.5MB.) Somewhat lacking in detail for BIOS settings.

As said, this manual has sections in multiple languages.

The total file has a size of 33.5 MB, but when you split it and only keep English, it will be 4.9 MB. After zipping, it is just below 2 MB.

So I attached that.
Now I hope that @z3r010 does not have objections posting the file here because of copyrights. John, when you do, please remove my attachment!

Speaking only for myself, I'd already downloaded the full multilanguage manual directly.

It's of no help as regards BIOS settings.

"Digital Power" is MSI's term for a CPU power profile. Not something I fiddle with, usually.

I wonder whether the "Wraith Stealth Cooler" is adequate for the CPU? The 7600X seems to use a fair few Watts. If it runs hotter than you'd like, there are inexpensive third-party coolers, but I don't know what's available in the Southern hemisphere.

How are you, Mike?

My son is heading to Tassie early March and is trying to coax me into going. I don’t know if he has a need or wanting to go to jail but if he takes me, it’s likely to happen. It’s just how I roll.
I have only been on your good Island once about 35 years ago for a month to meet my birth father in Ulverstone for the first time, he was a tosser.
I haven’t been back since. But what I remember about the other 30 days of that month, is that the unmarked areas of Tassie are just beautiful. Went on lots of walks and rides. In fact, Tassie in general was a beautiful place. I loved the speed of everything, nice and relaxed. Well it was 35 years ago.

Good morning. I’m doing well, thanks. Hope you are too this fine day. Sorry that your visit with birth father wasn’t so good. But thanks for the compliment about the island. It is a beautiful place indeed and I’m happy to live here.

It certainly can be! :-)

Question: I'm thinking about reformatting my solid-state drive. While it may not be necessary, after updating the Bios as I should have originally I like the idea of starting with a clean slate.

Do you mean the SSD you’re installing Windows on before the install, Mike?

Windows install process should wipe the drive clean before installation.

Yeah, that's the one. I thought it would wipe the drive clean. But when I did a clean install of Windows on the SSD before, Windows retained the name and password of my wifi. That made me think that Windows did keep some information from one installation to the next. Hence my thought about reformatting the drive.

I believe that’s possibly a Microsoft Account sneaky issue. Not your SSD. I’ll see what I can find out. I remember there was a long debate on this forum from someone who had concerns.
