zguy85 Posted July 8, 2022 Author Share Posted July 8, 2022 7D29v14 (May 28th) and NOW 7D29v17 (July 7th) has just been released on MSI's website. Description: - Fine-tuned memory compatibility Still awaiting a single update from Corsair since January where MSI has now had 4 updates. Reliable support as always. Yes I'm bashing because it's well deserved. I'm just going to continue to wait till its time to buy another PC in a year or so and won't be waiting for Corsair again. Check that one off the list.

John Hoang Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 There will be no performance difference among BIOS updates. Or even we could not realize the changes. If your system running smoothly, keep it as is 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeDoyen Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 that "update CPU microcode" you can be sure it's security updates. these have to be applied. And with direct storage coming to use pretty soon, i bet those PCIE storage updates could be related. Corsair should just stop trying to code anything and let the OEM manage the updates honestly. They add no value by managing the BIOS updates and only make their prebuilds less reliable and prone to safety breaches that are not patched on time.

It's good to hear your feedback, and I am actively working on getting that information made available to you, our fellow enthusiasts. As much as I would like to give you more information, for now I can only reassure you that my team hears you, and we are working on it. Are you still working on it? It's really getting quite ridiculous now. Please be transparent. Why did I spent 5000 bucks on your hardware? Because of your excelent support and your loyalty to your customers, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zguy85 Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 Corsair team you said previously in this exact post to be patient and you were going to get us answers..... that was a very long time ago. Any updates or will we continue to get the silent treatment???? $4-5k for these things, this is absolutely ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zguy85 Posted January 12, 2023 Author Share Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) No Sir, this alone is a failure of Corsair that will not be forgotten and Silence from the mods whom themselves stated they would basically try to get info for us months ago and now are silent just means.... it isn't gonna happen. I've given up months ago, don't hold your breathe. Unforgivable. Edited January 12, 2023 by zguy85 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilz Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Hey Zguy, I logged a call via tech support and had the following response today I do apologize but we can only post new BIOS updates when MSI provides them for us, they have still not done so for this system. I've followed up to see if they've escalated internally with MSI or if we have the option to use MSI version without invalidating warranty, as premium unit ($4k+) I would expect better hardware support - the lack of microcode updates seem especially negligent as they supplied the unit with the newer CPU in a motherboard that doesn't officially support it - if you are going to design with parts from other manufacturers should ensure you have the associated support too for updates. *Anyone else watching this post, please reply or like, as suspect we need some community momentum with Corsair support to help clarify or address asap 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Albert Posted February 1, 2023 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 1, 2023 Hi all, A BIOS update for the i300 is available via our Downloads page. You may also find them under the "Downloads" tab of the i300 product pages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queeg Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I know some folks here have been asking for a BIOS update for some time, and I look forward to hearing how the update goes and what functionality/fixes it adds. I'm more of the not broke/don't fix school where BIOS updates are concerned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricksmet Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Loaded up the new bios 3 days ago. I have the i300 3080 edition. Have not had any crashes doing everyday work, running several benchmarking programs (PCMark series including stress tests). Will update if promlems develop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zguy85 Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share Posted February 12, 2023 I'm actually at a loss for words. Did not expect the BIOS update to ever happen. I'm not going to bash, I've said my peace in prior postings and stand by them. Grateful to all those involved in making this finally happen and curious what specific updates have been implemented. Will install this update tomorrow morning and we'll see. Thank you again to those who made this possible followed by all MSI's prior changes Necessary?... maybee........ maybe not. Appreciated?... absolutely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarKHorsEGB Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 So... was there anything beneficial in the Bios update? or shall I leave my i300 alone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queeg Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I actually went ahead and did the update...just because. Went well and system is running fine. But I can't tell any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilz Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 It would be nice to know what's contained in the update - apart from updating a revision number in the bios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToWn3r Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 E7D29IZ1.1C6 seems to have installed successfully 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarKHorsEGB Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Dont' think you should of installed the MSI one, just the one from the Corsair page. The MSI one won't have the Corsair BIOS alterations to suit the i300. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToWn3r Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Both are listed on the Corsair Downloads tab for my i300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zguy85 Posted March 25, 2023 Author Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) 1CA is the new one because that's what is listed as updated February 2023 on the downloads section of the corsair page uposed to what you see there on the product page under downloads area. https://www.corsair.com/us/en/downloads Go here and search i300 it should be the first and only BIOS listed with date.
