XraySRL Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Hi, It is my understanding that this should be possible. Can Corsair confirm that the Vengeance i7200 with RTX 3090 using the Z490 motherboard will receive an update to enable Re-Size BAR? And, if so, where will this update come from and when will it be available? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XraySRL Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 I see a BETA BIOS update from MSI here: https://us.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z490-A-PRO Can we apply this BIOS update to the i7200 RTX 3090 system? Or, should we expect this enablement to be done via an RTX driver from Nvidia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windows 10 already have this support for a while. I can't find V2.CO version on MSI BIOS page, so that suggest this is a customized BIOS from Corsair. I suspect we can only get validated BIOS updates from Corsair as it appears our systems are locked down to their custom BIOS. Since that specific MSI BIOS with resizable bar support is in beta testing, we'll have to wait until MSI finish testing it, ship the stable BIOS update and then we wait for Corsair to finish testing it before they ship it. At the same time, we need vBIOS update for our GPUs, it's not clear if this comes from Corsair or from your GPU card's maker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XraySRL Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 That would be great! Really should not leave any performance on the table with the RTX 3090. That would be a shame when it is just deploying an existing software change. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike_ttt Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) It looks like the BIOS update from MSI has been officially released, so it isn't a beta anymore. Corsair still has time to test and validate the bios since Nvidia is scheduled to release the drivers in March to enable the full support. Finger crossed that we'll get the bios update around the same time. Edited February 14, 2021 by mike_ttt fix lack of emoji support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_ttt Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Nvidia Drivers and vbios updates are out. https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5165/~/nvidia-resizable-bar-firmware-update-tool @corsair, would love to know when bios updates are coming from you?

TheNewMeta Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 +1, I spent an hour trying to get M-Flash to see the BIOS updates only to find out that the BIOS is locked to Corsair releases only. I would very much like to see this update. It's part of unlocking the full power of my top-end Vengeance PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_ttt Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) Corsair needs to step up and do better than this for sure. I understand locking down for QA and warranty reasons but give us the option to opt out if you're not going to maintain decent updates. What are we going to do after warranty expires? It's a wall garden system. I should've done more research before I bought this. I've paid a lot of money for this and frankly, I'm starting to regret it. Unless Corsair improves, I'll be removing it from my list of brands. Edited March 31, 2021 by mike_ttt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewMeta Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Yeah, when the specs said it was an MSI board and not some in-house brand I thought "hey, this is a real mobo I can do with what I want" and then it turns out I can't. That makes me sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Mint Posted April 1, 2021 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 1, 2021 Sorry everyone, I don't have more information at this time but I did previously provide your interests to the team working on Systems so they definitely know there is an interest for a BIOS update.

mike_ttt Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 A new BIOS update is out. Does this contain Re-Size BAR support? I checked the downloads page, it's still 2CP; created back in Oct. Where did you see there was a new BIOS update for Z490? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NPCNL Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) I checked the downloads page, it's still 2CP; created back in Oct. Where did you see there was a new BIOS update for Z490? They're mistaking the a7200 BIOS update over the i7200. a7200 is AMD and i7200 is Intel. Choosing an AMD Ryzen CPU comes with a MSI B550-A Pro motherboard and choosing an Intel CPU comes with a MSI Z490-A Pro motherboard.

Corsair Employee Corsair Caliente Posted June 4, 2021 Corsair Employee Share Posted June 4, 2021 Hey Guys, Please update your BIOs to the latest version. They should now have support for Resizable Bar. In order to utilize it, you will need to download and update the VBios from the GPU manufacturer's website as well as have the latest NVidia Drivers as well.

Kaolinchemist Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Hey Guys, Please update your BIOs to the latest version. They should now have support for Resizable Bar. In order to utilize it, you will need to download and update the VBios from the GPU manufacturer's website as well as have the latest NVidia Drivers as well. So the BIOS for the i7200 is updated for resizeable bar now? That is great news if true. I will definitely check it out tonight after work. It would be nice if Corsair would do a detailed video/walkthrough of exactly how to do this with links to i7200 BIOS because I for one have never flashed a motherboard BIOS or a GPU BIOS. That would be of great help to many of your customers myself included. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StridingCat Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Sounds good. Yes, can someone please post a walkthrough or guide on how to flash the BIOS with our i7200 systems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElendilAndurilz Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Just attempted to flash to 2CA as provided by the official page for my i7200 and ended up completely bricked couldn't boot into bios computer was resetting itself constantly. I had to manually reset the CMOS and was able to re-flash back to 2CV. Not sure what's going on but I'd proceed with caution before flashing this new bios.

Kaolinchemist Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Sorry you had issues, mine went without issue thank the Lord. First time ever doing it. I dowloaded the Bios file and extracted it to a nrwly formatted FAT32 thumb drive. I then booted into MSI Bios and plugged USB into a motherboard USB slot and clicked MFlash utility from Bios screen. I then selected my file on the thumb drive and it took about 5 min to update and restart. This was nerveracking waiting. It all did fine. I searched youtube for videos on msi mflash bios to help me prepare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElendilAndurilz Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 My process was the same just so everyone knows. Flash completed successfully but upon reboot just started power cycling endlessly until I reset CMOS. I'm on a 3090FE with an 11900k so might be build differences or I just had some bad luck.

Kaolinchemist Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Mine cycled on and off at least twice right after the bios update but i was away from my pc at the time it was rebooting so I'm not sure what the total was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renebonvanie Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 It would be very helpful if someone (from Corsair?) could post deep links to the latest BIOS versions here. I am unable to find one for the 10th Generation Intel family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
