BIOS Updates, Urgent note, Please read.

Hello everyone, a couple of days ago I orderd an Asrock A320M but the supplier sent me an A320M-HDV R4.0 with the 3.7 BIOS, for that one, the page says "ASRock do NOT recommend updating this BIOS if Pinnacle, Raven, Summit or Bristol Ridge CPU is being used on your system."

I want to use that motherboard with a Ryzen 7 1700, could I make it work with the 3.7 BIOS? or maybe, could I downgrade?

I want to return it, I already notified the store who sold me the motherboard, but their customer service kinda sucks :/ and it will take from 1 to two weeks to get a proper response from them.

Thank you.

Is there anyone with 4.10 BIOS on AsRock B450 Gaming K4 with properly working monitor data? Is it possible to be coz skipping BIOS, for example if you were 3.50 and updated right to 4.10 skipping one version. Or doesn't matter and is just 4.10 bugged?

Also any info on inc AGESA 1.0.0.5 for Gaming K4, Pro4 etc.?

AsRock B450 Gaming K4 here, I have issue with my all cores boost in cinebench etc., my 1600AF boost only to 3440MHz like old 1600AE CPUs. Single core boost are OK 3700, sometimes I see even 3800+ after gaming in HWMonitor.
Yday I revert to 3.50 to check but no difference, its same. Now Im back to 3.90 again.
CPU Temps are fine, max 54c in blender, 51c in Cinebench.

Anyone has experienced something similar? Is it CPU bad piece or can be motherboard/bios. If you check userbenchmark data you can see that majority are boosting 3600+ all cores with 1600AF. So im at -200MHz at least. For now im blaming AsRock.
Im curious why cpu multiplier is reaching only x34.5 when rendering... it should reach x37. What can be the reason, any ideas?

Hello,
I'm from Germany (excuse my bad English) and have huge problems with my Fatality X370 Gaming X and the last BIOS update 5.90 . I updated for my RYZEN 7 3700X CPU and to get the latest Agesa version.
After the update from 5.60 to 5.90 the board always booted twice and reset all BIOS settings I made to the default values. Furthermore the Dr. Debug display does not work any more and shows only "AA". Even after I downgraded the BIOS to versions 5.50 and 5.60, these errors remained permanent.
After I contacted the Asrock support they sent me a bios version 5.91, which only fixed the Dr. Debug problem.
So I am sure that the 5.90 update destroyed the motherboard BIOS.

After further weeks of tough negotiations with the Asrock support they were willing to send me a replacement board in exchange for my board. For the shipping from/to the Netherlands I had to pay 30 ?? When after more than 3 weeks the DHL package with the replacement board still hadn't arrived at my place and I demanded compensation from Asrock, they sent me a replacement board via UPS for the 2nd time, which arrived at my place after 2 days.
This X370 Gaming X was already updated to BIOS version 5.90 and worked perfectly after installation - except for Dr. Debug, which still has no function!
With this and the (unofficial) update 5.91 it is now proven that the BIOS version 5.90 is not only full of bugs, but can even destroy the whole motherboard irreparably.

I have the B450M Pro4 running a Ryzen 5 3600. My original BIOS version was P3.80. I just updated to P3.90 and now my XMP no longer sticks, nor does my AMD PBO setting. When I try to set them and reboot, my screen hangs for about a minute, and then the system reboots itself. When I boot up, the XMP profile for my RAM and PBO setting for the processor have been turned off. I figured I would just revert back to the 3.80 version but when looking at the BIOS page for my board, 3.80 doesn't exist. There's 3.60 then 3.90. Did my board come preinstalled with a beta BIOS and that's why it's not listed?

I would love to be able to set PBO in my BIOS again and be able to run my RAM at the speed I bought it for. With XMP it's at its correct speed of 3200MHz, without it the board drops it down to 2400MHz. Should I bite the bullet and downgrade to 3.60 and pray I get these two things back? I'd much rather have 3.80 back since I know it worked, lol.

3.90
4.10

And why boot logo ASrock hang for 60-80 sec? It's very annoying. And after what weird bios update it's very scary to do bios update in future. ASRock why you doing that bad things with your respectable buyers. Fatality would not approve that, too shame.
