GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

[stasio]

Stasio, until F33 was posted, the release notes on the GB main download site said F33i was 1.2.0.2. I'm completely positive that was the case as I not only ran F33i without a problem, but I checked the main GB site daily and read the release notes over and over again, I don't know how many times. Of course I would notice the change. That's all there is to it. Now running F33 with no problems.F33i *always* said 1.2.0.2--until yesterday when F33 was added and the notes beside F33i were changed. I can't understand why you would insist otherwise...;)

I kind of missed your "Added latest Beta BIOS with Agesa 1.2.0.1" remark--guess you forgot to say, and named it F33i...!...;) I understand it is a "different" bios...but it bears the version number of the former 1.2.0.2 beta bios, also named F33i. Much better for GB to have named the new beta bios "F33k" or something similar, wouldn't you think?

F33i has NEVER been with 1.2.0.2

- Agesa 1.2.0.1 Patch A

To be honest this issue doesnt matter - what matters is that there were x570 and B550 beta BIOS with 1.2.0.2 for along time and after reading

X570 F33 and B550 F13 final BIOS is coming......
Some of X570 on first page.

- Agesa 1.2.0.2
- Date 05.21.2021

we assumed those late betas with 1.2.0.2 would transform to final not for everything to jump back to March betas

F33 is final and AGESA 1.2.0.2, they also posted older F33x builds with AGESA 1.2.0.1 in case of regressions in 1.2.0.2.

Perhaps 1.2.0.2 is not good and this is why Asus is skipping it and going 1.2.0.3 directly. They said AMD told them to do so.

You are right !

Nope - for B550 at least the finals seemed to have been pulled at the last moment along with F13h and F13i betas with 1.2.0.2 that had been up for two months. The newest available agesa is now 1.2.0.1 A which had some of the USB fixes IIRC.

There isnt any info on this from GB - which is why many dont install Betas because of that lack of release info - all we know is what we see happening on the download page / servers - no-one here has any actual info.

Yup, GB has pulled the update. For instance, https://download.gigabyte.com/FileLi...us-pro_f13.zip does not work anymore.

Edit: Seems like it is back lol.

Imo its not the "newest" available, they just removed the "g" with 1.2.0.2 for example in order to upload the f13 final so for now it show f33h with 1.2.0.1A.
Just wait.

With B550i there isnt any debate as F13i was 1.2.0.2 for ages and just at the point of non-beta they revert to F13g 1.2.0.1
There are Reddit posts even suggesting the fleeting F13 was F13g based - so very confusing and not what you want after waiting so long to update from F12.
I was ready for the new agesa before fitting a PCIe 4 GPU
Those posts also suggest that the BT disappearing can come back with F13i after some days - something some thought addressed since F13h which has also been skipped over now..

F13g don't have fix for ITE Device also

Nope. Normally there is listed only one beta per number and it is usually removed just before a new beta or final is uploaded - this removal often causing "was there a problem" posts from first time users.
But in this case (for B550) the previous newest beta 13i was replaced by an older beta with previous agesa and not by the expected final,

- Agesa 1.2.0.1 Patch A

I think I have to say "mea culpa" here, at least partially...Apparently, I confused F33i with F33j, and F33j was the beta bios using the 1.2.0.2 AGESA instead of F33i. Looks like F33j was replaced by F33 (F33 being the final bios containing AGESA 1.2.0.2 not "renamed")--which begs the question of why F33j was deleted but not F33i. The only solace I can take is that apparently I wasn't the only one confused by the rather strange posting of F33 the other day. First it was up--then it was taken off--then it was restored and F33j was removed--etc.

[Hammerkeg]

Well, for me F33 can't handle 1900 FCLK (or the RAM overclock the was stable with F33i, I can't tell), very common random reboots.

One assumes that GB werent 100% sure about 1.2.0.2 even after 2 months in beta, but for X570 went ahead with F33 anyway but with the last 1.2.0.1A beta still listed if needed to revert, but for B550 no F13 final and just reverted to the last 1.2.0.1A beta

Would not be surprised if it is not very stable. I got my first bsod on the 1.2.0.2. My first one in two years.

Hi stasio
I tried looking for x570 master f33c but did not find it. Also tried adjusting URLS but only 404s. Could you provide me with a link of that old bios. For some reason it's the only stable one (for me) and I lost my copy of it. I tried f33i and f33 but both crash on with the typical WHEA error.
