New AGESA 1.2.0.3e bios out for X870e Tomahawk too
Removed Link to Broken BIOS
IMPORTANT heads up - DO NOT FLASH this new bios if you overclock Memory, or care about getting back to an older bios easily:
-Had a stable daily 7800 36-45 profile at 1.43V that would not even run with this bios at 38-48 at way looser timings AND way higher voltages, all with GearDown disabled only at Nitro 1-3-1. No, I’m not interested in enabling GearDown mode, or relaxing Nitro to 2-3-1. It has never been required at 7800 on this board with my CPU sample and 3 different 2x24GB kits
-Boots way too quickly than before, I suspect it's not training long enough, and couldn't extend the training duration despite playing with Robust training, Increasing RX and TX taps, setting Nitro to 8x/8x, etc. Tried every trick in the book
-Max stable on my setup was only 7600 MHz, which is ridiculous
-CPU PBO with curve optimiser was fine in general, found no difference in CPU perf
Tried to flash back the older A52 bios I was on, and it wouldn't even enter M-Flash, kept hanging at 0d, which has never happened before. Did the same after clear CMOS followed by M-flash, clear CMOS followed by restore defaults-> save/exit-> followed by M-flash. Once entering M-flash failed, it wouldn't even post anymore, hanging at Ab, 0d, 97 etc randomly.
This is just nonsense, what kind of QA/testing do they even do before releasing a bios? Having been with MSI for a while, I know if there is an additional digit after the primary bios # (the 3 after the 7 in this case), it is a Beta bios and needs to be taken with a pinch of salt, but not having tested the ability to let users get back to an older bios is inexcusable.
Had to resort to Bios flashback to get back to A6 which seems the same as A52 and perfectly stable so far.
