Questions about MSI MAG X670E TOMAHAWK WIFI

The Ryzen 7 7700X is compatible with the MSI MAG X670E TOMAHAWK WIFI, as this processor belongs to the AMD Ryzen™ 7000 series, which is supported by this motherboard. A BIOS update is not mandatory to use the processor, but it is always advisable to install the latest BIOS to ensure the best possible performance and stability.

The Ryzen 7 7700X can be used directly on the MSI MAG X670E TOMAHAWK WIFI without a BIOS update, as this processor is supported by the first BIOS version of the motherboard. However, it is recommended to update the BIOS to the latest version to ensure the best compatibility and performance.

An error has probably crept into the product images, I will be happy to pass this on to the responsible department for revision.

I only know that there is a bios update for the new Ryzen on the MSI site. I also got it for the 7800.

The motherboard probably already has the latest stable version of the BIOS (7E12v14 published on 14 August 2023). Maybe that's why the BIOS doesn't update on your system (but I'm not an expert). I received my motherboard in December 2023 with the same processor and it did have the latest version. This is displayed as v140 once in the BIOS if I remember correctly. I booted the motherboard without flashing the BIOS first because I was confident enough that it had the latest version given its date of manufacture. This can be determined by the serial number (S/N) of the motherboard. It is normally on a sticker on the box with the format 601-xxxx-xxxSBxxxx. Not always SB but always 3-4 numbers then one or two letters. After these letters is the date of manufacture in YYMM format, so if it's 2309 then it was manufactured on 09/2023. Typically when a new BIOS is released, it takes about 30 days for it to be applied in production. Mine dates from November 2023, so well after the last BIOS was published in August.

I bought it few months ago and it shipped with 7E12V13 from approx. May 2023.
