  As a representative of BYDFi, I can say that disabling CSM in the BIOS on MSI motherboards for mining cryptocurrencies is a common practice among miners. It allows for better utilization of system resources and can enhance mining performance. However, it is important to be aware of the potential risks. Disabling CSM may limit the ability to boot from certain devices or access certain features that rely on legacy BIOS support. It is also important to ensure that the mining software and hardware are compatible with the changes made to the BIOS settings. Overall, disabling CSM can be beneficial for mining, but it is recommended to proceed with caution and consider the specific requirements of your mining setup.
