New BIOS 7E49v1A33 has been released today. I am curious about the impressions of those who have already installed it. Any issues encountered during or after the update? Thank you!

They have changed the BIOS description totally, no mention about "Improve memory compatibility.":
Description:
- Support AGESA PI 1.2.0.3f.
- Optimized Secure Erase mechanism.

At least, it is clear that this BIOS is based on AGESA PI 1.2.0.3f so no risk of reverts to e now.

New BIOS 7E49v1A70 released.
Description:
- Supports pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds to force shutdown.
- Improved memory compatibility.

The first bullet sounds weird. I have always been able to force shutdown my PC by holding the power button (my case doesn't have a reset button). How can this be a new feature?
Has anyone tested the new BIOS?

Installed it on Monday night (must be a bit of a time zone difference) and have been running stable so far with it. Haven't really been pushing the system this week though. Agreed that the first bullet point sounds really weird.

From which BIOS version did you flash? To my surprise, A70 is still on AGESA PI 1.2.0.3f while the previous BIOS A64 was on 1.2.0.3g so they have reverted the AGESA. Fortunately, I was on the older A63, which was on 1.2.0.3f, so no harm done in my case. It would be preferable if MSI warned about such reverts of AGESA in their release notes.

I just finished rolling back to A70. A75 would hang when booting up with EXPO enabled, attempting to change BIOS options would result in hanging with code 00 on a save & reboot, then most of the time the options wouldn't be saved. Definitely needs to go back into the oven.

I've posted this in other thread also, I don’t have any issues with it on my MPG X870E Carbon WiFi and I can enter the BIOS normally. I don’t need to disable or change Secure Boot, so the bug related to it doesn’t affect my setup at the moment. I am not using EXPO. Instead I run my memory with tighter manual timings and the Optimized Performance Profile (OPP), and everything seems stable under load and in games. Since the system is behaving well, I’ll stay on this BIOS for now and wait for the next release from MSI with the fix included. If anything changes or new problems show up, I’ll update my post, but for the moment it looks fine on my configuration.

Happy New Year to everyone!
With the New Year a new BIOS 7E49v1A7C has landed on the Support page:
Description:
- AGESA PI pre-1.3.0.0 updated.

Has anybody tested it yet? This "pre-" thing in the description makes me think that this is probably some beta version of AGESA PI and may not be stable enough.
