How To Enable Smart Access Memory (Resizable BAR) on MSI, Gigabyte, ASUS, and ASRock Motherboards
Quick walkthough on how to enable smart access memory (SAM or Resizable BAR) through BIOS settings on MSI, Gigabyte, ASUS, and ASRock motherboards.
If you are using a Radeon 6000 series graphics card (RX 6800, RX 6800xt, or RX 6900xt), either a Ryzen 3000 or 5000 series CPU, and have a compatable motherboard then your system can likely benefit from enabling smart access memory while gaming or handling certain productivity tasks.
The process is super easy and straightforward but be sure that you have prepped your system before you start.
Make sure that your motherboard is updated to the latest BIOS and is compatible with SAM and that your chipset, Windows, and other drivers are completely up to date as well!
If you need help updating your BIOS, check out my tutorial on that here:

I put together some quick gameplay video of the RX 6800 XT in Dota 2 at all resolutions with max settings. Although Dota 2 is a MOBA it can still be difficult to run at 4k resolution on older mainstream GPUs so I wanted to show that the 6800 XT is more than capable of running the title. With the RX 6800 XT you can play Dota 2 at nearly capped FPS (230 ) on any resolution with the graphics setti...

I have a r7 5800x, a rx7800xt, Mb b450 tomahawk max ii, i did exactly what you said and now my pc boot eveytime in the bios m, Windows don t load, any idea ? I tried to disabled the changes but still boot on bios 😢
What happens when the update never finishes and now you cant boot your pc? Doesnt post at all.
You are the best
I use the phantom gaming rx 6800 xt and this is sooo helpful. Thankyou!
Neither works so simply don't buy MSI. I tried for to days to update my 3 year old bios and nothing worked. From I see on the web I'm not alone with this glitch.
How many is "several" minutes? Mine is going on more than 10 minutes im not sure if its still updating
I have only option Above 4G memory don't have re size bar :/
Great. Thx
Thanks
It was enabled on my mobo with updated BIOS. I thought my new PC can be even faster 🥲
Doing this now ty
Awesome video. Thank you. I copied over the M-Flash files (both verified) into my Bios and can see today's date, but nothing shows up under the System volume information. The flash drive is formatted correctly, and I downloaded the newest BIOS for my MSI motherboard. I don't know why the file won't show in BIOS.
I have a 6800xt with a 67 to 70 core temp and 100 to 105 hotspot with 60% fan is it OK?
Was blessed with perfect vram, was able to get 2150mhz on fast timings with no issues.
Rx 6800 i5 10400 f with corsair cx550m Can run good? Please some advice
I want to sell my 6800xt but the buyer said that my GPU is overheating so he doesn't buy it. He said that my GPU should be 40-60 with 100% load 🤣. I said that he could not get that even if he buy a new one , and he said that I dosn't know what I'm talking about LOL.
THE GLASSES OF BUILDINGS ARE DEFECTIVE...ONLY ON AMD.
I tried the first method, it never showed me the updating screen, and then it’s just staring at me with: “please set the multi BIOS switch to the target BIOS ROM and then press any key to continue”.
Thanks for making me realize the Flash BIOS button IS the power button!! :)
My light turned salid after a few blinks and wont turn off
helped me twice now, thank you sir
Excellent! I have new msi b450m pro vdh max motherboard. suddenly my crucial ssd nvme m.2 is not detected. so l bought a new ssd, that too is also not detected. what is the solution to it?
I have z790 and no d: drive in win11. I changed sata port and I found ata driver 1.0. Is that my problem?
im trying to download and rename the file on a macbook, and the file wont change to a rom file, it just says its a document, what should I do?
I'm confused why you turned field of view up to max, doesn't significantly affect performance and just gives the game that nauseating fisheye effect
I'm planing to upgrade my PS with next components: AMD Ryzen 7 5800x Gigabyte AORUS Elite B550 XFX Radeon RX6800 Swift 319 (RX-68XLAQFD9) I already have: NVMe SSD, HDD 7200rpm, HDD 5400rpm + 6 x 120mm fans and 4x8GB of 3200MT/s Kingston HyperX ram. I have ASUS ROG STRIX 750W GOLD modular PSU. Is it enough power?
That is most stupid looking Fan curve I have ever seen. 🤣
you dont explain (nobody does i dont know why) that you need your hard drive set to gpt and to do that you need a 2tb hdd minimun. i wanna enable sam on an ssd but im searching on the web (and failing) if its needed the same requirements
I just knocked 100 Mhz off the core clock. Problem solved. My hotspot never varies any more than 5 degrees from the average. Fur mark running half a day my hotspot temps will not exceed 80c
what about memory temp under load?. Mine was up to 94c and im worried.
anyone else get nervous asf there power is gonna randomly shut off
M-Flash method worked amazingly. New Ryzen 7000 cpu. Games were crashing while playing them so hopefully this helps!
i put on max limit of 2.80 and stress test = crash = failed on a water cooling
Thank you bro
Thank you so much ❤
I have trouble since 2 months now.. my core ist at 60c while my junction temp is at 110c and i got a custome water cooling. I tryed undervolting. IT Just makes the temps get slower to the 110c. I added new thermalpads. No results. I added new thermal Paste. No results. Im at the ege of giving Up. Does Somebody have advice?
amazing tutorial, thanks!
My files won't open when I click them in the usb drive bios mode
There are a lot of bios update tutorials out there, but yours is by far the best!
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! I've been trying to update the bios on my MSI B450-A Pro Max for the paste 8 hours. Other videos on UA-cam said to rename the file to MSI.rom but not to change file type. I looked at your vide and a bell went off when you said to change the file type to rom. Tired that and now the little white LED light is flashing happily as the bios is now updating. Thanks, you don't know how much trouble you saved me. Again a million thanks.
really well made video thanks!
ILY so much bro thank you you saved me. IF YOU DONT HAVE A USB WITH HIS EXACT FORMAT, THE FORMAT NTFS ALSO WORKED FOR ME
Thanks!!
Hey I had your 2 method problem I bought a 550 MSI gen 3 I troubleshooting my whole desktop and found that I think my CPU driver is not right for my motherboard how do I update for my ryzen 5,700 G 8 core Radeon graphics
I have a 7600X and a 6800 XT, and I'm experiencing several watts drops during Forza Motorsport but only in that game, Cinebench for example doesn't happen, but it only use one component at a time.. I have a CoolerMastet 650W 😔
Saved my life I’m very computer illiterate ❤
updating with flash button but the red light doesnt stop blinking after 20minutes and going
Why is my pc exiting flash mode out of no where
I prefer to dont go up than 2600Mhz frequency because the GPU get such hot
Excellent content. My first and last am4 upgrade. 3700x to 5950x, MAG X570 wifi. I picked up the 5950x for $280 during black Friday. Much thanks
