Which BIOS version to install

Vainsy11011 · November 18, 2020

Hey,

I just received my 5900x today and am about to start the build process. I am getting my BIOS USB ready for the Flashback feature on my ASUS X570-F. I believe the BIOS needs to be updated to AGESA 1.1.0.0 however, on the BIOS download page of the motherboard it has two versions with this version of AGESA.

One that was released on the 23rd of October and a Beta BIOS released on the 5th of November.

I am not sure which one to use mainly because I am skeptical about the fact that the latest one is a Beta.

Both have identical release notes, "Improve system stability" etc.

All help is much appreciated!

Thanks!

For the 5900X you really only need BIOS V2606 or later so I would opt for V2802. V2812 might work fine but being a BETA results aren't guaranteed. It's more for people who want to be on the cutting edge with the latest patches & features at the risk of bugs and instability.
