Just saw it this morning.......Probably out fot AB350 ITX as well.
Probably the BETA 4.51 after being tested  and found acceptable.

Let us know how it goes Wink

I would imagine it is a completely new revision. Betas, particularly the ones that include "fixes" tend to be based on older versions.

Xaltar......I am sure someone will let you know!  I am happy nuff to see someone who thinks they need it try it out first......If it is mainly a wifi improvement then not much use to me........I do not use Wifi and have had none of the wifi issues that have plagued others..........
Sticking with 4.50 for the forseeable..........at least until 1002A is out..and that is imminenet.

" rel="nofollow - I have installed it, nothing was fixed like I mean nothing, they just moved the version number up from beta,
All the bugs I reported a month ago and they confirmed all of them... none were fixed, besides that its the same UEFI with the same SMU/Chipset/AGESA/GPU firmwares as the older 4.51 UEFI, it has all the bugs, all in all nothing changed, 
All the bugs reported here, still apply to this UEFI, this a dissapointing to say the least. Like a mean nothing was fixed, the same CSM bugs, same FAN speed bug when using DC mode control for chassis fan 1, you still cannot disable the sata ports and Wired LAN, same throttling occurs.
All in all, do not bother installing this UEFI version people its the same as 4.51

All bugs listed bellow still apply to this UEFI version, all of them no exception, Wi-Fi was always working for me also

EDIT 2: I also lost between 1GB/s to 1.4GB/s of memory bandwidth for read/write/copy, repeatable test after test, so from 4.40 to 4.60 in total there is a loss of almost 5GB/s of memory bandwidth across the board for Raven Ridge
its like having 3200MHz memory vs 3466MHz, if you have 3466MHz memory with 4.40 UEFI it will perform like 3200MHz memory with 4.60 this is unacceptable for a platform with a IGPU that is so starved by bandwidth.... WTH ASRock? Its like the other poster from a thread aroudn here that was loosing almost 10GB/s when overclocking the CPU ever so slightly

Cheers and have a nice day

If you're using AIDA64 to benchmark bandwidth it is probably reporting erroneous numbers.

With 4.50 and 4.60 I've noticed i get 5k+ bandwidth reading in AIA64 after hitting apply within f-stream tuning, as well as after awaking windows from sleep.

However all other memory benchmark software is uneffected.

 I also noticed this same thing occurs with 4.40 but even with strictly bios overclocking and not touching f-tune or windows sleep. Therefor I don't believe the bios versions effects memory bandwidth and it is merely a glitch in AIA64 or compatibility issue related to the motherboard and AIA64. I may however be only partially correct, I manually set all of my memory sub-timings, it could also be that memory subtimings are autoing to different values depending on bios versions, that I do not know.

In my experience I am not able to clock my dual-rank samsung e-die ram at 3333 mhz in bios versions 4.40 and older and can only achieve 3200 mhz. So I am able to get better memory bandwidth in 4.50 and newer only.

The fan tuning does certainly seem quite buggy however and I would love a load line calibration option!

Testing 4.60 more fully now will report back later probably.
