Good morning all, its getting cold here and some light snow out
A few days ago I noticed MSI had a link for a BIOS update for my AM4 x370 board, '7A32v2E' released Nov. 2018. The link wouldn't work, it was broken and I couldn't download it. The link would only lead me to the MSI Live Update page. I did open a ticket and emailed them asking about it but no help there. I finally tried to use a link from an older BIOS download and just changed the latter part of the link to… See More
the name of the newest BIOS release and it worked and made the file available for download to me.
So first, this BIOS version (2E) is pretty awesome, it features newest AGESA code, RAM compatibility update and BCLK overclocking (finally?).... I haven't had much time to play around with it yet because I had to do brakes and rotors the other day on the car but so far its a great BIOS and performance is awesome..... Today I noticed they have removed this version of the BIOS from the MSI website and I can find no mention of it on Google or their website or anything. Luckily I saved the file after I updated my board so I still have it. Does anyone know anything about this, I am curious what's going on. I did add a screenshot of their website from around Nov. 3 when I was able to get the file versus today Nov. 13. Thanks!
The only thing I can gather after looking and digging into the forums is that it may have something to do with the Raven CPUs as to why they removed it.... apparently if you are using a Raven CPU and update to this BIOS (7A32v2E) without first updating to the latest video and chipset drivers, the machine will POST and go into the BIOS but Windows will no longer boot and will have a blank image on screen.... maybe that's why initially the link led to MSI Live Update because they could try to control… See More
through their app and identify if the latest chipset drivers were first installed before the BIOS updated.

Maybe they removed it because it was unstable?
