I have got B450 Pro4 with Ryzen 2600, you reckon it's a good idea to jump from 4.10 to 4.80? I noticed too 4.80 has no warning for pinnacle, while 4.10 had.

I have no issues with 4.10 other than that weird flashing (which is only during POST, rest is all normal): https://streamable.com/vjps8y

Lol, tell me about it?

Thing is now nothing is broken, been 4 days with no issues. Only 'issue' is the weird flashing at the start. I tried reinstalling GPU drivers but nothing really worked.

Yeah, it's Legacy, not UEFI. I googled a bit how to convert to UEFI but I saw there is a chance of data loss etc so I wouldn't want to take the route.

What I am 99% sure about is that this latest BIOs update caused the flashing, because when (the same day) I updated to 1.80 and then to 3.10 the flashing did not exist. I am just afraid jumping from 4.10 (current) to 4.80 because it might make things even worse.

I tried newest bios (4.70) for X470 taichi ultimate an ryzen 2700 with 2x16 GB 3200 Mhz RAM. Unfortunately on newest bios i Couldn't set RAM to work on 3200 Mhz.

I used again 3.3 bios for my motherboard. Maybe someday I will again try new corrected bios (or when I change my CPU to newest model)

A note for someone considering updating to Bios 4.80. Worked OK on Fatal1ty B450 Gaming K4 with Zen+ (Pinnacle, no APU). I was concerned about issues that others have had with previous versions. I had updated to 3.90 without issue, and have now updated to 4.80. Windows 7 took a short time to load drivers afterwords, but everything is working good (after rebooting with driver changes) and now there are some new bios options. Only thing that is off is the trc clocking in memory XMP profile, but thats it and not a problem.

Thanks for answering. I will do the BIOS update test initially.

My version of the 2700 Ryzen 7 is not the "X". I'm thinking of replacing it with the third generation, using Ryzen 5 (3600), again without the "X".
