ASRock X399 and AGESA SummitPI-SP3r2 1.1.0.5

Hi all

According to Bulletin ID: AMD-SB-1031 the AGESA version required to mitigate vulnerabilities in 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen Threadripper Processors ?œColfax??CPUs is SummitPI-SP3r2 1.1.0.5

https://www.amd.com/en/corporate/product-security/bulletin/amd-sb-1031

At the time of writing this ASRock still doesn't offer BIOS versions with that AGESA version on any of the official support websites for its X399 series motherboards, so I opened an ASRock support ticket asking about it and they quickly responded to me attaching the BIOS version 3.94 for X399 Taichi.

If any user/owner of ASRock X399 motherboard is concerned about it should contact technical support

PS: Seems like a conspiracy, neither ASRock nor MSI nor Gigabyte nor ASUS (except for ROG Zenith Extreme and ROG Zenith Extreme Alpha) have released new BIOSes with AGESA 1.1.0.5

Thank you

Just my guess but I think it's complicity with AMD

It seems that AMD has made several AGESA versions sent to the AIBs and they have hidden them from us (or maybe they have also hidden them from the AIBs), according to CPU-Z the BIOS version 3.94 for X399 Taichi was released on January 2022

Yes. Resizable-BAR option is also available in 3.94 version.

I don't know.

No problem in my case to reactivate XMP with my DDR4 not included in QVL.

According to ASRock tech support 3.94 is also Beta and is possible go back to any other/previous BIOS version (I have not tried going back).

Very good question

My advice is to ask AMD and ASRock for technical support, only they can give you the right answers.

I am not a user of 1st Gen Threadripper but if you share here the answers of both technical supports you'll be welcome, also hoping other users share with you their experiences about RAM custom values under AGESA SummitPI-SP3r2 1.1.0.7

Good luck

Upgraded my 1950x Fatal1ty X399 from 3.92->4.01

Had to disable AMD TPM to use new flash in bios.

Smooth upgrade. New settings. Used my previous 14-14-14-28 saved settings with 8x8GB sticks.

Had to reenable resizable bar. Everything works fine.
Installed latest AMD chipset drivers.
I was unable to run Ryzen Master even after disabling VBS in windows. But I never got it to work under windows 11.before either.
