BIOS 3.50 for AM5 Boards
Is there any source with further information about changes since Version 3.40 (or 3.30)?
ASROCK homepage writes only "Update AGESA to ComboAM5 1.2.0.3g." - which means all and nothing.
As some had troubles with 3.40, I am not happy with flashing BIOS every 4 weeks, without knowing what was changed.
Currently I am running 3.30 on my X870E Taichi lite, but my DRAM is set to really slow JDEC (4800, 1.1 V, ...), for not toasting my CPU (9900x). I would love to switch to EXPO (6400), like stated in the Asrock support list, but still afraid of damaging my CPU.
And releasing every 4 weeks a new BIOS version without saying, what was modified, does not support my trust in proper programming.

well, i am running 3.40 and had no issues. I have a 9800x3d with DDR5 6000 and expo enabled. I also have PBO activated, in the bios, using the max temp at 85 deg.. its been fine. Gamers nexus released an update yesterday on the subject of the burning cpus. I watched it all and they gave no conclusion other than not to let your pc use sleep...it continues. i will try 3.50 today.

Thanks for the hint on the Gamers Nexus YT.
But - as usual nowadays - 52 minutes with lots of words and some ads, and only 7 or 8 screens with relevant information.
The best is his conclusion @ 47:40 :
"Now, unfortunately, without a replication to mach the problems, we?™re not exactly sure what advice is best to give to people who already have an Asrock board. If you don?™t have one and you?™re worried about it, then don?™t buy Asrock."
How did your update to 3.50 work?
Everything still runniung stable?

Hi!
One change that I've noticed, going from BIOS v3.40 to v3.50, is the "SoC/Uncore OC Mode" setting location:
On BIOS v3.40, it's in the "Advanced" page, under "AMD Overclocking" (Default setting: "Auto").
On BIOS v3.50, it's in the "OC Tweaker" page (Default setting: "Enabled" / Fixed voltage: 1.2V).
