This is a FYI for whoever have problem with memory error on AM5 platform.

Early this year, there are multiple reports on this forum about no post and memory error on AM5 mobo including me. such as
https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25520&title=b650m-pg-riptideno-post-after-reset-on-new-bios" rel="nofollow - https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25520&title=b650m-pg-riptideno-post-after-reset-on-new-bios
https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25460&KW=pg+riptide&title=b650m-pg-riptide-no-uefi-post" rel="nofollow - https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25460&KW=pg+riptide&title=b650m-pg-riptide-no-uefi-post

I had several emails with Asrock support and they believed my memory is not on their QVL list and won't help further.

I have to stay with old 1.11 until someone with memory modules on QVL also had similar problem( https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25758&KW=pg+riptide&title=x670e-pg-lightning-bios-1-18" rel="nofollow - https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25758&KW=pg+riptide&title=x670e-pg-lightning-bios-1-18 ).

This time Asrock fixed it by updating BIOS, which is now available in ver 1.21 for all AM5 mobo. It works for me even memory module is not on QVL.

I also play a little overclocking igpu of a ryzen 7600x after upgrading to 1.21. At least 2200 M -> 2400 M is stable for me.
