Hey y’all, i recently had to rma my gs76 stealth after a hardware thing but when i got it back, my VR wouldnt work, i traced that to probably being a bios setting that got reset when the battery was removed, however, when i went into the MSI clickbios, it looked way different and i don’t even have the setting im looking for anymore. In fact i have way, way less options than i did before for bios settings, this seems like an older version of the bios, updating from usb to the version on their website just gives me the same bios, idk what’s happening.

for reference my bios used to look like this like this

and now it looks like this  like this

    Your BIOS definitely got upgraded, what you’re seeing is actually the new BIOS version. MSI said they said they simplified the UI because the BIOS ROM size is pretty limited and they want to support as many CPUs as possible.

      Okay thats great, but now I don’t have simple options like fan settings and thunderbolt control, did my $3000 laptop just get neutered?
