MSI has added a “Turbo button” to motherboards to overclock the new Ryzens

Users of some MSI motherboards have discovered a useful new feature in their hardware settings after the UEFI update. It allows you to significantly increase the performance of the Ryzen 9700X and 9600X processors with just one click of an on-screen button.

By default, the TDP value for the Ryzen 7 9700X and Ryzen 5 9600X models is fixed at 65 watts. In the latest version of UEFI, there is a new menu item in the OC section, which allows you to increase it to 105 watts. According to the Tom portal; s Hardware, when tested in Cinebench R23, the Ryzen 7 9700X chip, running at “increased rpm”, scored 13% higher points (23,153 versus 20,409 with a 65-watt limit).

There is no official information about the new feature on the websites of MSI and AMD itself. Probably, the company included it in the AGESA 1.2.0.1a Patch A firmware before the corresponding announcement. Most likely, other PC hardware manufacturers will offer a similar option in the near future.
