In a move to future-proof their platforms, MSI announced BIOS updates that will enable support for Intel's new 14th generation non-K CPUs on their 600 and 700 series chipset motherboards. "By supporting these CPUs, MSI protects their customer investments and ensures a smooth upgrade path." On the technical front, MSI's B760 motherboards stand out with features like an extended aluminum heatsink on the VRM to keep power delivery cool under load. Power users will also appreciate per-core overclocking and other utilities in MSI's Click Bios software.  With 14th gen support ensured and competitive specs, MSI's 700 series provides an enticing upgrade option for those seeking increased CPU performance without the cost of a new platform. Only time will tell if the non-K strategy pays off for Intel, but early adopters can feel confident about the future with MSI motherboards. According to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), ASUS has recalled 10,000 ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Hero Motherboards as it is a fire and burn hazard. Consumers that purchased flagship ASUS motherboards for the 12th Gen Intel processors before December 2021 can check if the motherboard is part of the issue by simply inputting their serial number through ASUS support. The report initially came in from a YouTuber earlier this year.
