Never thought the 5900xt would be such a odd ball cpu to work with before getting one on sale for $299 CAD.

If you're not using the 5900xt I'd honestly get firmware with the latest agesa version.

Consumer boards might be more flexible posting with a cpu it doesn't fully recognize even if it means not using the other 4 cores or running at lower clock speeds. Server hardware on the otherhand has much stricter vendor validation, hence why TLN couldn't post with Agesa 1.2.0.11.

Agesa 1.2.0.7 came out in 2022. The 5900xt came out in July 2024.

Love how the update with a older Agesa release has a more updated cpu id table than a update with the newest agesa release :rolleyes:

At least the 5800xt is slightly overclocked whereas a core bump will definitely require a bios with the necessary microcode.

As you can see I'm quite new to the tech world.

Funny, the 1.79 update shown for my board is 18.53mb while the version I got is 32mb.

Well it's good we're keeping asrock on their feet.

Meanwhile, the asus tuff gaming I got for my brother had 5800xt support out of the box. I got the x570 from amazon which must have been old stock, not that they probably made any newer stock since 2021.

Perhaps the P1.70 might support the b2 stepping given it's 1.2.0.7 and the earliest b2 stepping support was featured in agesa 1.2.0.3 patch c.

Sure, but the 5900xt was released in 2024 and has 16 core/32 threads, hence it'll have completely different cpu id strings/microcode that not even agesa 1.2.0.C will recognize.

Now I'm curious whether other xt variants will work.

I mean if you have a cpu thats already supported by older firmware, then I don't see why anyone would install it. I was just suggesting to leave the bug finding for people who need to use this firmware to get there motherboard to post.

As for the BMC firmware, I was told by william that it fine tunes the SLL certification, fine tunes chassis ID, fine tunes system inventory information behavior, integrating the CVE-2024-54085 patch, & CPU thermal trip threshold.

It's pre-beta but sure. I was backed into a corner having paid well below market value for a cpu in new condition that I almost destroyed. As for everyone else, the aforementioned still stands - use at your own risk.

Before I had Asrock email me BIOS version L1.79C, I accidently enclosed my 5900xt in it's plastic clamshell in a way that bent the outer pins; so after I painstaking realigned them, I was really crossing my fingers hoping it was post and it did. After reporting the news to William(Server FAE...
