ha, I found this https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/msi-drops-functions-from-bios-of-amds-300-and-400-series-motherboards-to-support-ryzen-3000.html and many more articles talking about dropped features to make room for new CPU support.


I also see msi is relaunching their motherboards with 32MB chips now instead of 16MB, will asrock do the same?

should I be concerned about this "takes additional space in the BIOS blob"?

I see bios 3.43 is 16MB in size, how big is the bios memory on this board?

this looks unreal to me to lose features because the BIOS storage chip is not big enough. will there be room for 4th gen ryzen code in there without losing other features?]]> Thu, 18 Jul 2019 06:53:40 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11886&PID=64953&title=x470-taichi-upgrade-bios-online#64953 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11886&PID=64764&title=x470-taichi-upgrade-bios-online#64764 Author: xhue

It is gone for good.

This option is really not secure, prone no bricking boards and takes additional space in the BIOS blob.

Trust me on this one, you are better without an internet update option. Updating by USB stick is really not that scarry as you may think.]]> Mon, 15 Jul 2019 02:32:13 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11886&PID=64764&title=x470-taichi-upgrade-bios-online#64764 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11886&PID=64762&title=x470-taichi-upgrade-bios-online#64762 Author: ByReaL

i had bios version 1.x when i bought the board,
i did online update of the bios (basically the board connected to internet and downloaded the bios and updated itself)

now that option is gone and i can only update by creating a usb stick, downloading manually.

where did the online update option go ?]]> Mon, 15 Jul 2019 01:59:46 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11886&PID=64762&title=x470-taichi-upgrade-bios-online#64762
