Step 1: Open MSI Afterburner and click the gear button. In the General tab, check Unlock voltage control and Unlock voltage monitoring to enable detailed control of your graphics card. Step 2: Set the sliders for Core Voltage, Power Limit and Temp Limit all the way to the right and then click the Apply button. Please note that setting these sliders to their max values is completely safe as the values are defined by the manufacturer of the graphics chip to be considered safe. Step 3: Click on the button left of the Core Clock (MHz) to open the Voltage/Frequency Curve window. At the top right of window you will see the OC Scanner button. Step 4: Click the OC Scanner button to open the OC Scanner window. The OC Scanner window will show two options: Scan and Test. Click the Scan button and the tool will increase clockspeed and then stress the GPU. This process will be repeated four times to cover 4 different Voltage levels.

Step 5: After running the Scanner, please run the Test option.

The option will verify the stability of the profile generated by the OC Scanner and provide the results in a ‘ confidence level’. If the level is above 60%, the OC configuration should be fine to use. Step 6: Close the MSI Overclocking Scanner and go back to MSI Afterburner main interface. Just something to keep in mind.You will see the value of Core Clock has changed from ' +0' to ' Curve'. You will need to delete that extra partition on your primary drive, shift the over recovery partition around (because it will be wedged between them), and expand the C: partition. Just be advised that if you have a second storage drive, and choose the option to restore ONLY to the C: drive (meaning that you don't want the stuff on the extra drive wiped), then the image will install a separate partition as part of your primary drive. Might have worked!īut anyway, worst came to worst, I used BurnRecovery to make a bootable USB of the MSI factory image, and reset the OEM image. I had to actually sift through the settings in the Killer networking console, and disable them to see which was causing the problem.

And apparently, the one thing that I didn't try (but learned about AFTER I reset) might have helped. It was a Killer wifi driver preventing hibernate, and eventually BSOD when attempted. I in fact just did a complete factory reset on my MSI last weekend. You can always do a clean install of Windows 10, as long as you get the appropriate drivers yourself.

Is msi burn recovery worth it
