AHCI is almost mandatory if you use an SSD. Mine runs 50% slower under IDE mode.
If you do not have any SSDs, you can improve compatibility by running in IDE mode, specially for older setups, as spapakons has suggested.
Also, back on topic. OP seems to have a newer AMD chipset so, in theory, running AHCI should not pose any issues.
To OP: Check to see if there is any BIOS update available. A friend of mine has got a not so old Phenom II PC and we updated its BIOS after some minor issues with storage. One of the BIOS updates had corrected some compatibilities related to AHCI/storage.
PS - Later BIOS for your mainboard is v2.0
The only remarkable changelog note is Windows 8 support. As Windows 10 is akin to 8, maybe you should consider updating, but keep in mind that it can be dangerous business. MSI says that you must run BIOS update from USB pendrive and that the system will restart SEVERAL TIMES. Do not remove the pendrive until the process has succesfully ended.
