| 4.90 is still a little buggy, but no big deal I guess. |

While I agree with the idea of not fixing something that isn't broken I would also suggest that if you are finding the older BIOS buggy then it would be well worth trying the new one - especially since, if it proves to be worse, you can always go back. It seems there was a sweet spot for 1000-series processors that was just before the big changes needed to support the 2000-series APUs. Those changes seem to have broken a lot of things. In other words, anyone using a 2000-series processor needs the very latest BIOS version while someone using a 1000-series processor might be better served by the last one before the big update. On the download site this is described as the "Bridge BIOS". ------------- ASRock Fatal1ty AB350 ITX P4.90, AMD Ryzen 5 2400G, 2x8GB Corsair CMK16GX4M2A2666C16, 250GB Samsung 960EVO, 500GB Samsung 850EVO, 4TB WD Blue, Windows 10 Pro 64, Corsair SF450, Cooler Master Elite 110 |
