keep using old BIOS or update to 3.25

   I've been on 3.25 for almost 3 weeks and not a single problem but time will tell if the CPU degrades and ends up dying. Fingers crossed!

As your Kataton's issue with the latest BIOS, I'm with NDRE28 assumption. It sounds like a hardware incompatibility problem. Did you try to reinstall 3.25?

	Hi, I to had to revert back to 3.20 but didn't run into any issues during the downgrade. What was the problem that you encountered?

	Hi! Sorry to hear that. I had no stability issues with BIOS 3.25 (or any other previous BIOS version). Maybe it's a hardware combination that leads to your problems.

	So not able to revert back to 3.20 without some hassle so it looks like I'm stuck on 3.25 with random shut downs. Really frustrating.

	After installing 3.25 I have had nothing but problems. Computer restarts everytime screens auto shuts down or randomly when working. Will revert back to 3.20 and hope the problem goes away.

	From ASRock support: It?�s normal behavior. Loading BIOS settings saved from BIOS 3.20 will be invalid in BIOS 3.25. It needs use BIOS 3.25 to save the BIOS settings to a USB flash drive to verify. ----------------- Not too happy about that I have a lot of settings ??

	Hi! One suggestion by YouTuber Brian, from Tech Yes City: Enable this parameter, in order to achieve stable voltage: 1. Advanced 2. AMD Overclocking (Accept) 3. SoC/Uncore OC Mode 4. Change "Auto" to "Enabled" 5. F10 (Save) / Yes

	In my case (B850M-X, 9800X3D), I had to force FCLK (to 2GHz) and UCLK ratio (to 1:1 against MemClk at 2800MHz). Otherwise nothing special. My RAM is 100% JEDEC spec (ECC UDIMMs), so they have no XMP/EXPO profiles. LOL I don't trust various "saving" features, especially across different BIOS versions, so I go through important ones and make a physical notes of them, so I can go back to the settings I want. I generally don't need to change all that many settings from the default, so it's not that big of a deal. The biggest mess is the fan % setting values. LOL

	After upgrading the X670E Taichi from 3.20 to 3.25 BIOS I was unable to load the user BIOS setting from the UBS drive. Only after downgrading back to 3.20 was I able to load the user BIOS setting.

	I went ahead and updated the BIOS to 3.25. You guys are right. I guess there's no harm at this point. Are there reports of decrease in performance after the update? I run a few benchmarks and found no difference from before. Maybe a bit higher CPU temp. Do you guys change the DRAM profile setting to EXPO? It is on Auto now (whatever that means). My RAM is not that great so not sure if there will be an impact at all.
