Should I update to a beta BIOS?

[AmateurPCGuy]

so my Asus PRIME B350 PLUS released its latest BIOS ver. 0803 a couple of days ago under BETA status. This introduces AGESA into the system. Now, with the minor problems I'm experiencing like my Ryzen 5 1500X not boosting at all (only goes toward base clock, as stated here:) 

and the system randomly shutting down once from a very cold boot (happens once a day, Windows is likely to be the perp.) Should I enter the point of no return and install ver. 0803 even though its still in beta?

You should probably wait because it may be unstable.

The beta BIOS for my crosshair have been awesome. It is how I got fully stable months before others did on the AM4 platform. There is nothing wrong with the BETA and you absolutely want the latest AGESA updates as these come from AMD and each revision makes a substantial difference. So yes update the run at "optimised defaults" to see about your issues.

While I have installed and used beta BIOS myself, I would never recommend it. Only install if the motherboard manufacturer support sends you a beta BIOS and suggests you install it, or if you don't care if your system dies.
