updated tonight and no issues as of yet.  Expo enabled no issues.  New to AMD so I have to read and learn a little more on cpu overclock/ under volts lol.   Just have the normal armory crate causing loading icon by mouse cursor to blink every so often which was happening before bios flash

My PC won’t post with this BIOS.

EDIT: Nvm, it just took 15 minutes to program the RAM I guess? All is good now.

I updated to 1203 while using a 7800X3D.  EXPO 2 and EXPO Tweaked worked fine.  I did not try my custom timings, but I am confident they would have worked.

I then dropped in a 9950X3D  (already had the newest chipset driver).  I allowed everything go through the automated process (you know...), and then only applied EXPO Tweaked and other basic features (Memory Context, personal preferences, etc).  No issues at all.  I am running 6000 cl26 (QVL listed) on EXPO Tweaked.  After a few days I will be applying my custom timings.

is there a reason to upgrade if i don't have 9950X3D or 9900X3D or use "ai tools " ?

For myself I prefer to stick with a BIOS that works well.  I would consider updating after a number of new releases or there is a security concern.

When it comes to a beta BIOS, I leave them be unless I'm desperate.

  • I have a x870e hero MB with 9800x3d, running OCd 2x16GB g.skill ddr5-6400 28-36-36-38 @1.5V.
  • With 1104 I get 69k read, 97k write and 66k copy and 69ns on AIDA64. With 1203 I got 65k read, 41k write and 63k copy and 68ns. Same OC, no other changes. 
  • Tried changing things, nothing helped. BIOS reset and Windows load without any OC or EXPO gave me terrible read and copy with latency of 98ns, but about 10k higher write.
  • Reverted to 1104, results reverted back. I also saw higer RAM instability with 1203 and microstutters in Darktide and Kingdom Come 2,  which were not present in 1104.
