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

18MB is the size of the zip file that contains a 32MB file.

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

I run a Ryzen 7 5800XT in my X570D4U (the plan, non 2L2T version) and it is properly recognized and runs well.I am on Bios 1.5 for that board ( ComboAm4 V2 AGESA PI 1.2.0.7 )

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

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

Well, 5900xt didn't boot after updates. Back to original CPU.

Both updates were applied (BIOS/BMC). Mobo start spinning, but no reaction on screen. Turns off after a while. BMC was unable to read CPU in System info (might need a proper boot to populate, which didn't happen).
Back on old CPU: BMC picks up CPU and Microcode in use.

System show 1.2.0.11 AGESA. I might do another shot at it later.
Bit sad, snagged last 5900xt on sale in Microcenter.

AMD AGESA 1.2.0.7 seems to be the one that added support for the 5900XT in about 2022.

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

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

the question stays: do you go the risk of beta or use the last official BIOS 2.50 from 10/21/2022 with all the bugs and vulnerabilities found since left in.

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

I looked on the cpu support list for my X570 board and it says that support for 5900XT was added in BIOS 4403 which is dated 2022/05/31 and uses AGESA 1.2.0.7. Apparently they were thinking ahead.

5900xt need Agesa 1.2.0.7 and VMR-B2 microcode in BIOS.
5900xt is nothing new.

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.

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

 

[Chudinheimer]

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

For homelab? Risk the beta of course.
I figured out what was the issue: I ran my old CPU with Pico PSU that comes with 4 wires: fits 8-pin CPU power connector right in the middle. Worked with Ryzen 2400 but apparently doesn't work with 5900XT. May be 8-pin requireoement is hardcoded somewhere, may be it senses 105W CPU and refuses to boot, IDK.
Swapped PSU and off we go: All PBO settings are present. CPU run fairly cool (unlike 9850x3d next to it). Will play with it tomorrow.
