Hi shaheer99ali

Can you tell me which exact brand and model your Motherboard is ?

Once I know what model you have, I can tell you a more specific answer.

2 days ago I had to re-install Windows, which meant I also had to reinstall my Motherboard's drivers.
So this topic is very fresh in my mind.

Regards
Derek

I have found your Support page here:
www.msi.com/Motherboard/MEG-X570-UNIFY/support
MSI has good up-to-date drivers you can download direct from their website.

I'm also using an X570 Motherboard and Ryzen 5800X, so I'm familiar with the type of drivers you need.

Are you using Windows 10 or Windows 11 ?
Make sure to download versions that support your operating system.

1. After you find out which BIOS version your Motherboard is using, I highly recommend you install the latest "official" BIOS, if you have an older version that needs updating.
There have been many bugs with X570 and Ryzen, so it's important to have best BIOS installed.
Just DON'T install Beta versions! They are too risky. Wait until it doesn't say [Beta version] and install latest version.
As of 12th March 2022, you need to use BIOS 7C35vAA (2021-06-29).
www.msi.com/Motherboard/MEG-X570-UNIFY/support#down-bios
Make sure to find GOOD instructions for how to install BIOS on MSI M/B, otherwise you can brick your Motherboard.

**SPECIAL NOTE: I was reading a few days ago, that a new bug has been discovered with Ryzen CPU Motherboards, that affects Security Chip.
Everyone is waiting for new BIOS version that fixes the problem. It won't be released until later on. Keep checking for new BIOS version in future.

2. Download and install all Drivers - set to W10 or W11.
www.msi.com/Motherboard/MEG-X570-UNIFY/support#down-driver&Win11%2064
AMD Chipset Driver is very important! This version is more up-to-date than official release on AMD website, so get version from MSI.

3. Utilities
www.msi.com/Motherboard/MEG-X570-UNIFY/support#down-utility
MSI Center is control panel for Motherboard and Fan curves.

AMD Ryzen Master
I have an ASUS Motherboard. I learnt the hard way, to NEVER use ASUS Control Panel to control CPU settings!
I would guess the same is true for MSI Center (control panel).

The BEST solution for AMD Ryzen users, is to install and use Ryzen Master.
This is 1000% better for overclocking and monitoring.

Windows Update
Make sure to install all drivers from MSI and AMD first.
Windows will try to install older crap versions of Drivers!
After all Drivers are installed, then you can run Windows Update after installing Windows.
