Hi, i just completed building me second pc using msi x99a slip plus mobo. I tried updating the bios using msi live update and it ruin the bios. Luckily, this mobo have multi-BIOS switch. I'm trying to recover the failed bios using the suggested steps:

Preparation:

1. Prepare a bootable USB flash drive.

2. Download the latest BIOS file.

3. Copy the content into bootable USB.

 

Recovery steps:

1. Power off the computer.

2. Set the Multi-BIOS switch to the functional BIOS ROM.

3. Insert the bootable USB.

4. Boot the computer into the bootable USB.

5. Set the Multi-BIOS switch to the failed BIOS ROM.

6. Execute command to flash BIOS.

7. Restart.

 

How do i create a bootable USB drive for this case?

get the BIOS ROM onto a USB, name it by MSI's naming standard.

make sure that ROM is the only file on the USB.

 

then execute the flash.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.
