I have no problems with 1.2.0.3 (F34) and 1.2.0.5 (F35). But I notice lower performance and clocks with 1.2.0.5. I had stability issues with the betas of F35 (after F35b) but not with the final one. No problems with 3800MHz memory.

Ive had so many issues with its. Cant overclock cause it cause a bios reset issue. Low boost clocks with pbo on and cuaton loop. 4.4ghz all core 1.45v with auto, only 4.6 single core boost with XFR. Im buying another x570 after work cause i cant use my board for shit without issues stock. If i didnt already have a 5600x, I'd be getting a z590 ddr4 and 12900k. Its been months of issues. Different bios and its worse. New ram, new psu, etc. Over it.

This doesn't even seem available for my TUF X570-Plus WiFi, if it was ever available it was removed, the update goes straight to 1.2.0.6b from 1.2.0.3 Patch A. Regardless, I'm not updating squat until a BIOS that supports the 5800X3D rolls around, considering I have to redo my settings every time which is a nightmare.

This bios has been available since late December. PBO options were not cropped. Then again, not using a 5950. This 5800 was able to handle a much lower negative curve offset than before using the same voltages. Only thing that is consistent has been that this B550-Unify voltages are one step higher than what is set in bios so have set them one step lower than the voltages wanted. That issue has been with the board with every bios.

My ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 hasn't had a BIOS update since 1.2.0.3. I have a 3700x though so it's not really a big deal to me at the moment.
4.20 of 2021/8/5 with the 1.2.0.3C (the one i would keep if i were you) 4.25 of 2022/1/12 with the 5 the one with the 6b comming soon as we are on the same line of X570 and i have it. On other hand, if it work fine... why need the most high version released?

Working fine, so far, on a MSI X470 Gaming Pro Carbon with AMD 2700x. Updated in late January.

ive upgraded to every single new BIOS on my crosshair viii hero since its launch and had zero issues, even early beta BIOS's and not a single issue.

Hmm, I have these bios and I have noticed that I get the default windows log in screen quite often. This kind of implies the computer is randomly crashing on shut down. Think I will switch back to former bios. 🙂

I run the ASUS X570 Formula board and have zero issues with that BIOS version that carries the AGESA 1.2.0.5.

I have Asus Dark Hero with 5900x and have updated from 1.2.0.5 (i had no issues at all on my Mainboard with 1.2.0.5) which i also installed on the release day and week ago i did bios update to Version 4002 Beta Version 2022/02/09 20.67 MBytes ROG CROSSHAIR VIII DARK HERO BIOS 4002 "1.Update AMD AM4 AGESA V2 PI 1.2.0.6b downloaded from https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-crosshair/rog-crosshair-viii-dark-hero-model/helpdesk_bios so far no issues. i recommend BACKUP YOUR Bios Profile/s to the USB Stick. After i did upgrade from 3904 to 4002 1.2.0.6b all my profiles made have been deleted. That's not an issue but it can cost time (which i usual dont have 🙂) to restore all settings. But maybe i missed this information before upgrade.

Well I've not installed betas in a few years now but I've become a "BIOS junky" over the years with my Ryzen PCs.

Oh, it's majorly screwed alright on B550. Luckily I can downgrade.

My gigabyte x570 motherboard has 1.2.0.6 B so your article is slightly wrong.

I have rev 1.2 and I don't check the USA site. Still don't have it officially on my page.

F36 is the newest for my X570 Aorus Elite. AGESA ComboV2 1.2.0.5 current. And it is trash for me. Hopefully this x570 TUF i just got works better for now.

The VDDG bug is interesting. Luckily I’m stable without WHEA errors at 1 volt. I do get them at the default voltages when pushing the infinity fabric.
