If it has a letter after the number, it means it's a beta version. For example, you might see F40a,b,c,d etc. Until it just says "F40", it's not GA.

I usually update immediately to every new bios but everything is working great atm so will fight the urge and not update.
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it"... but we're all geeks here, so that mantra means nothing to us, we like to break stuff
. After my last experience however, I will happily wait until GA (and I will always keep a backup of the previous release!)
AMD / security issues and new AM4 CPU's, still shocked they are knocking out new AM4 after 5800x3d."If it ain't broke, don't fix it"... but we're all geeks here, so that mantra means nothing to us, we like to break stuff
AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT and Ryzen 7 5800XT: new AM4 CPUs slated for July 31 release - VideoCardz.com
AMD Ryzen 5000XT series on same day as Ryzen 9000 series New AM4 processors next month. Although it may seem like July is all about the Zen5 architecture, the company also announced brand-new Ryzen 5000XT SKUs. This is yet another update for the aging AM4 socket, now over eight years old. AMD...

I use this mobo for my simrig.
Rehomed it in a different case and missed the opportunity to replace the fan.
My PCH fan make a noise on startup now, bearings I guess, but I have it on silent as with everything water cooled there isn’t much heat dumped into the case.
I don’t think I can get to the fan without pulling the mobo out, but wondered if there was a solid trick to pull power from it entirely, as I don’t think it gets to 55.

You could try Fan Control software to slow down or stop the fan. https://getfancontrol.com/
You have to strip the motherboard down to get to the fan.

Thanks mate.
I’ve put it on silent in the bios and max so far on the sim rig is 67c.
Will run it til it decides to become annoying in actual use rather than switch on and then go for the removal to disconnect it.
I was hoping it was possible to hook the cable under the heat sink and pull it out, but don’t think you can get to it.
I have ek waterblock for the x570 aorus pro if anyone wants it

Yeah when I said noise I mean not just the noise of a normal fan. It’s proper scrapping sound of failed bearings.
I do have a loop I could put the chipset under Tbf. Not sure which models fit or are still available.

Still on mine (since release) and it is very snappy tbh, doesn't struggle with anything
Yup. Easily another few years left in it. It’s running my sim rig real well, and the pace sims come out… if it keeps trucking I reckon I could have another 5 years out of it. My upgrade the graphics from the 3080 fe 10gb at some point.

I have a 3090 in mine, happy with the performance so no reason to upgrade anytime soon...
