GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

But given F36 is AGESA V2 1.2.0.7. I'd hazard a guess it's 1.2.0.8. [...] Still learning UEFITool to check AGESA unless someone here is better versed than I on what to exactly look for as the information given is pretty much above my pay grade.

It's 1.2.0.7. That version appears three times in the UEFI image, and 1.2.0.8 appears zero times. I don't think I've ever seen them release a new AGESA without mentioning that in the patch notes.

I faced stuttering issue and audio stutter problem on AMD ryzen 2600x, 3600 and now 5600x on my gigabyte x470 gaming 5 wifi motherboard all these years and finally it was fixed on 5600x after updating to 63c beta bios (still waiting for out of beta release) AMD AGESA V2 1.2.0.7.
I don't know when they are going to release out of beta bios for x470 line-up.

Beta bios F37a has dropped for Aorus master x570 patch notes list "optimized performance" and nothing else.

X570 Aorus Master (rev 1.0) - F37a
AGESA ComboAM4v2 1.2.0.7

Just checked the F37a for x570 Master. Sadly its still Agesa 1.2.0.7 ond not 1.2.0.8. Gigabyte is slow af in releaseing new BIOS as always. Kinda hoped they changed their mind considering the security exposures in Agesa 1.2.0.7. My company is migrating away from Gigabyte-hardware cause of the poor security management of the said company. A bit sad, cause the hardware is quite nice. The Software/Firmware not so much.

It is strange that B550i last release was 12 months ago but luckily F15 has been an OK version - unless you actually have a 5800x3D or fTPM stutter needing the the new AGESA

There has been a new Revision 1.2 of the B550i and this comes with a different BIOS number FA which also includes AMD AGESA V2 1.2.0.7 like F16e - so surely they could release this for Rev 1.0 / 1.1

One difference in spec 1.1 to 1.2 is the BIOS FLASH size is smaller at 128 Mbit

Possible as AGESA 1.2.0.8 fixes a CVE on Cezanne according to AMD. AMD Client Vulnerabilities – January 2023 | AMD I ran the downloaded BIOS thru SMU checker and no changes as far as SMU.

It's a year today since Gigabyte released their last stable BIOS update for the B550I (F15 on 13/01/22). I wonder if we'll ever see a non beta release of F16, or even agesa 1.2.0.8? (Doubtful!)

Don't be to doubtful. The x570 Master just got a final F36 after being in beta for ages. Now today I check and we have an F37a. Who knows what AGESA it is as the changelog simply says

1. Checksum : CA0A
2. Optimized performance

Aorus B450 Pro Wifi is still in beta F63c, any news for the final version?

Yeah failure to boot a couple of times. Once the networking just stopped.
I'm thinking it could be PCIe lanes or related.
While troubleshooting issues I had Nvme drive that acted weird and effected the rest of the system, I figured it was broken and I took it out and that seemed to fix it much of the issues. Now I'm thinking the drive might be fine and it was a PCIe lane issue or similar all along. Considering it affects boot, USB devices to stop working and now networking (once).

yea.. unfortunately I can confirm some of that as well.
Weirldy though it feels like the first cold boot only causes these problems therefore when I boot up my computer the first time after it was completely shut off I go into bios, shut it off again, start it again and then none if these problems occur.
Could be placebo, but so far I had no problems when doing that.

I am usually a really patient person, but at this point it is getting annoying.. thats the 3rd F8 BIOS that still does not work. (yea I know its beta, but they do release those on official website as well without even acknowledging that those are beta?!)
Feels like in general Zen4 ist just such a unfinished product as it seem to be the norm nowadays.. Starting to get pissed thats for sure.

So far F8b worked the best for me personally besides those horrendous and ridicoulusly boot times.

Wow. I didn’t think x570 was getting more updates. I’ve been on F36d since July 2022 and to my surprise I see that F36 for the x570 pro WiFi is no longer in beta but a full release. Here’s hoping we still get a few more updates since AM4 is still an active platform.

F8h has also been a little weird for me, what was yours btw?

I have it failing to boot sometimes, unsure but it might of taken a PCIE network adapter out? but since taking it out it does load quicker, but I did have display issues wiht my 3090fe until i reset the bios... I'm thinking id rather go back to F7 and just wait at this point.

I've had weird behavior from F8h too sadly. It's way better than F8c but still rather unreliable in weird ways.

Hi,

i have tested all bios updates (beta and official) for my Gigabyte B550I Aorus Pro AX for the last 2 years. With all versions (except the beta F13i) the power consumption at idle and load is always 13 watts higher. Would like to use a current bios, but not as long as the power consumption is higher. Is there a solution or bios setting? I can't find any differences in the settings why the power consumption is higher.
