As an ex-owner of MSI X570 Unify I can confirm the max vcore is locked at 1.425v.
All I had experienced was much lower temps overall on the same PBO settings than before.
I knew something was wrong with this version of bios but I used it happily without any problems with lower temps
AGESA v2 1.2.0.5?
I'm already in the version AGESA V2 PI 1.2.0.6b (ASUS)
and has new pbo options,the only negative I have so far is that when I change a setting in the bios it restarts my computer 3 times (and I mean normal boot), and the positive is a slightly lower power-temperature reduction when I overclock the processor compared to the older version 1.2.0.3 Patch C.
I am on AMD AM4 AGESA V2 PI 1.2.0.6b right now, and had some weird issues during the first boot and continued in BIOS. There was a weird glitch where it would show half of the text in French/ Chinese / English.
Afterward, it wouldn't detect Windows and Freeze randomly.
What helped me was to reset everything to factory defaults and re-run my routine tweaks again.
We really need dual bios on more Mobo's.
I'm on Agesa 1.2.0.5 and performance seems the same.
I'm using the same settings as before updating, with memory/IF at 3800/1900. But I did notice that memory training took much longer.
ASUS issued final versions with AGESA V2 PI 1.2.0.5 over two months ago. The article should be rectified.
Also with ASUS Crosshair VIII boards, you can downgrade to 1.2.0.3c to restore 1.50v VID with PBO enabled (to exceed 142A EDC).
The issue with lower clocks on later AGESA's is because CPU can no longer request 1.50v when PBO is enabled and exceeding 142A EDC (my board goes up to EDC 200A on Auto). The 1.42v VID thing is being discussed for months in OCN, which also persists in the latest 1.2.0.6b.
Some users found ways to improve performance around that. I personally don't care and leave PBO disabled so standard boost patterns apply. My 5900X works better this way.
The whole 1.2.0.4 series specially the first revision was utter garbage. Never went out of beta thankfully.
B550 Unify-X owner and been running AGESA 1.2.0.5 for a long time, ever since it was released as a beta bios and don't have any issues.
5800X with G-Skill 4000MHz memorykit (16GB) @3733MHz, with all clocks running in sync, so 1:1:1. Beyond 3733MHz has always been, on every single bios since release, a no boot till 4000MHz. 4000MHz will boot, but with tons of WHEA's, had really hoped that 1.2.0.5 would solve that, but unfortunately the IMC is not a good one on this chip.
thank you !! ... as I was starting to become mad. I updated to bios F35 some time ago (based on AGESA ComboV2 1.2.0.5) on my Gigabyte X570 AORUS XTREME and I immediately witnessed some perf degradations (I scored between 650 and 660 in CPU-Z single core before, and after the update I now sit with 620 to 630 ... that and many more benchmarks or games that perform a little less than before)
And I just wondered where was the problem and scratched my head to figure it out ... Now I understand where the problem is !
I guess I'll have to wait for the next BiOS update then ^^
CPU : AMD Ryzen R9 5950X
GPU : AMD Radeon RX 6900XT
MB : Gigabyte X570 AORUS XTREME (rev. 1.1)
RAM : 64 GB DDR4 3600 (CAS 16)
Yeah, this is really really old news.
AMD 5800-x
Gigabyte b550 Aorus pro ac
bios f14
The entire Aorus system information viewer ceases to function.
You can not depend on using smart fan as temperatures are not accurate and whole groups of fans cease to show or function.
The BIOS was recommended for WIN 11 for many months and has failed to function in all versions of BETA through this final "stable release"
So, I do a couple of work arounds.
1. set fans in BIOS rather than using the WINDOWS app supplied by GIG/Aorus
2. turn on and off trusted platform before/after updating WIN 11.
Everything works MUCH faster with trusted platform off
AND MUCH Cooler.
On my intel notebook, the fan noise with trusted platform is so loud that it makes zoom meetings difficult.
(and this is with the laptop on a dedicated rotation stand with perfect bottom air flow.) Turning trusted platform off of WIN 11 in bios causes the fans to run much more quite.
TLDR: BIOS Version and WIN 11 both combine to greatly reduce clocks/ ssd speed and increase temps and noise.
Somewhat difficult to figure out which is the worst contributor.
