It just means that there are no specific enhancements for Pinnacle and Raven Ridge
in that BIOS version. In other words, no benefit to be had. It's mostly to help prevent pointless BIOS updating. There was a trend of updating to every single new BIOS version when Ryzen first launched and it caused issues. A lot of people mistakenly thought that a BIOS update was an upgrade/free performance. If your system is stable and working properly there is never any point in updating outside of security feature updates when a new exploit comes to light. |

Well most ppl would run away and hide in shame but nope, my mistake I own it...
So.... A320MHDV... I had been getting my BIOS from the standard A320MHDV BIOS page when google put a link up to HDV R4 underneath the standard one and woops the BIOS for the R4 is not the same... so all my cussing at Asrock was pretty unfair on my part and apols... Dilemma though the last BIOS install crashed so puter was taken to the kitchen worktop which is my PC workbench and I had to do a crash strip down, new 2032 cell (I'm a watchmaker I have whole boxes of batteries and decent quality ones too) clrcmos with a set of brass tweezers, installed a brand new cooler for the CPU as the thermal paste despite me doing it before Xmas was rock hard and only cheap Ali stuff so out with the decent stuff, dedust and just fired up back to normal, no slow BIOS loading. Oh and my RX570 is throttling correctly, goes up from x8 to x16 when under the hammer so all good. Can someone explain why Asrock put a disclaimer on the later BIOS's for Pinnacle, Raven ridge etc? I mean all those listed as a bit of a no no is pretty much all the AM4 range. |

Board model: A320M-HDV r4
BIOS version: 1.90 CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 RAM: 2 x 8Gb Corsair 2666 DDR4 Well, where to start on this stupid rabbit hole, seriously... W11 updated a couple weeks back and my BIOS has gone into super sluggish mode, 2 mins the Asrock screen shows and more often than not Windows starts and it takes 30 secs or more for Asrock screen to go away. Went from approx 8-10 secs start to desktop to 2-3 mins. So armed with a brand new USB stick I tried and found a whole new level of cobblers in computing (been doing this since late 70's) known as BIOS flashing, it does not matter what I try Instant Flash in UEFI or BIOS flash utility via F6 it says "Image not detected", I have turned off TMP settings, the PC sees the fast USB stick nicely, good throughput, quick format, slow format, redownloaded bios images... yeah I have been through thick and thin with Asrock but this motherboard sucks :( Once it is in Windows it runs pretty well, seems a bit slower than usual just I am now not wanting to turn it off unless I really have to as it is slow slow slow and I jotted down the "click" when Windows actually starts and its only a few seconds. |

Forgot to mention: The shutoff only happens when setting the RAM to XMP profile at 3200. If left at base clock, the system boots as normal with rx 7900 xtx and bios 2.40 |

Board model: Asock b550 phantom gaming-itx/ax
BIOS version: 2.40 CPU: Ryzen 9 5900x RAM: 2 x 16GB Kingstone Fury 3200 MHz GPU: Rx 7900 XTX I had to revert to bios 2.30 since on version 2.40 PC kept hard shutoff when loading Windows (or any OS). It would post, but as soon as an OS started loading, it would shutdown. What is of interest here is that prior to installing the RX 7900 XTX, i had a RTX 2070 card which showed no problems on BIOS version 2.40. As soon as i installed the new card, everything went downhill. On version 2.30 seems that everything is working properly. Anyone with the same problem? |

Board model: Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming-ITX/ac
BIOS version: 7.4 CPU: Ryzen 5 5500 RAM: 2 x 8GB Patriot 3200 MHz GPU: Rx Vega 56 Notes: I upgrade my CPU from Ryzen 5 2400g to Ryzen 5 5500, and my current BIOS version + CPU seems to be working great. I had 2 minor issues with certain BIOS versions / CPUs along the way, and I had 2 minor issues due to poor instructions / installation notes. See below. Documentation issue #1: I had to flash my motherboard from version 4.6 -> 5.3 -> 7.0 beta -> 7.4. The version 7.4 BIOS notes say you need to update to 7.0, but the BIOS notes for version 7.0 and 7.4 both fail to say you need to update to 5.3 before you update to 7.0. I thought this might be the case because notes versions before 7.0 do mention the need to update to 5.3. Thankfully, the flash process simply did not allow me to install 7.0 directly. BIOS version 4.6 + 2400g : My graphics card would not output a signal during the boot process. I could only see my boot screen when I connected my monitor directly to the motherboard. BIOS version 7.4 + 2400g : When I would "restart" my computer, this combination would not post. Thankfully, I could do a full "shutdown", and then my computer would boot correctly. Documentation issue #2: I followed the BIOS upgrade instructions precisely (https://www.asrock.com/support/BIOSIG.asp?cat=BIOS10). I checked to see if my system had fTPM enabled, and it appeared to be no. However, after I installed the new CPU, it would not boot. The error message I received said that fTPM was enabled, and it was asking if I wanted to permanently make some changes and risk not being able to boot anymore. I said no. I was able to solve the issue by changing the BIOS fTPM setting from "auto" to "disabled". After this, my computer could boot with no errors. I believe this was an issue because the instructions told me to load the default BIOS settings. I assume that doing so is probably a good idea with a new CPU, but the instructions gave no warning this could cause a scary error message about the fTPM and no instructions on how to resolve it. |
