OK your CPU is on the list.  It should be covered by the bios you have.  Since it's not all you can really do is complain to MSI or wait until they update the BIOS.

ahh i see to what extent does bios updating will help my system?

what are the pros and cons

A BIOS update if it ever is offered should fix the errors like this one:

 

Log: 'System' Date/Time: 08/12/2016 2:56:05 PM

Type: Error Category: 2

Event: 35 Source: Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Processor-Power

Performance power management features on processor 1 in group 0 are disabled due to a firmware problem. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated firmware.

In terms of system stability i have not yet experienced a major power failure on the system, for a while since i can remember it

I think it's basically what keeps your PC from shutting down in low power mode.  Shouldn't cause power outages.

if thats the case it shouldnt be a problem since run this pc on full power, good to know though
