How weird. Yes I saw the article mentioning performance improvements on the wccf website and downloaded AGESA 1.2.0.3e dated 10th June from thereWhy does WCCF have Google drive download links to a version ASUS doesn’t have on their site?
Don't think this was posted, new official BIOS out.
I had to download it from Global site, running fine on my board.

Installed and working so far, took a long time to update (10-15mins).Don't think this was posted, new official BIOS out.

Yep a little longer then normal but no issues, I did load BIOS defaults (which it did already since it would not let me save and exit with F10 since it was on defaults already) so I just clicked on defaults and rebooted back into BIOS to change the BIOS settings in advanced section to my ram speed,thermal throttling etc, then I hit F10 for save and exit and good to go on reboot back to Win11.

Is there any explanation as to why this is the case?
edit - ah it's to do with the TPM security fix.
edit edit - people reporting previously stable OC/mem settings are no longer stable. I'm staying put for a bit, I've just got everything tweaked, tuned and stable.

I am also hanging fire on this one as I have it running how I want it and don't need any instability.
New cpu's on the way sometime then?

Can anyone help me with my issue, I have 2 x nvme drives in this board, a Samsung 980(gen4) in the top slot & a WD blue(gen3),in the next. Nothing in the bottom 2 slots. I upgraded to a 5080 a couple of months ago can only get it to run @ pci-e 5 x 8. I've swapped the WD blue about in all the bottom 3 slots,but no luck . From what I can see in the manual as long as I don't use slot 3 my gfx card should run @x16. Can't seem to get it to work
Any help would be appreciated

I have a gen 4 WD SN850X in the top slot and a gen 3 Corsair in the next one down and my 6900XT gets full 16x.
Don't know what I can do to resolve my issue, thanks for the reply

I'll check later, but I've got a Samsung 970 Evo plus & WD 850x nvme in mine, also a 860 SSD. Pretty certain my 4090 is running x16.
You can go into the BIOS and force the GFX card slot to X16, then if a drive disappears you know which one is causing the problem. Theoretically, as you say, it should only be a problem in slot 3 (bottom left), but you never know if something has changed in newer BIOS's. It also might be an idea to try both drives in the two right most slots, as they are the pci-e 4.0 slots and you are leaving both the pci-e 5.0 slots unoccupied.
Failing that, although it may be annoying, it's not such a bad thing to leave it at x8 as you lose on average 1% performance or less.

Thanks for the reply,I've got it set to x16 in the bios, I'll swap them about & see what happens. I know it's not a big difference in performance,but it's just doing my head in. I even updated to the latest bios today just in case.no luck either. As I stated earlier,my 3080 was running @x16 with both drives in the same slots,it's only since I put the 5080 in. So looks like a pci-e 5.0 issue

You're probably right, about it being a pcie 5.0 issue. Ive got a Samsung nvme in M.2_1 & WD SN850X in M.2_2 Also an 860 SSD in Sata6G_E1
The bios is set to run PCIEX16_1 in Auto Mode, and that has my 4090 running at X16 with Resizeable Bar enabled (if that even matters).
So the only difference is the pci-e 5.0 GPU. Unless theres something different about my bios, as I havent updated mine in quite a while

So you have it manually set to X16 in the BIOS and it still shows X8? When I did that, it gave me X16 but I lost use of the drive in slot 3. Obviously, the 3080 was using pci-e 4.0 X16 which is equivalent to pci-e 5.0 X8, so as you say, this is more specifically a pci-e 5.0 issue. You can also play with pci-e versions for the pci-e slots and the M.2 slots in the BIOS, so dropping slots 1 and 3 down or playing around with the versions might be an option. I think it might be scraping the barrel for ideas on that one though...

Had a really weird issue with my Strix B650 based PC.
My PC wouldn't boot. It would turn on but got stuck at a yellow light on the MB, which apparently is a RAM issue.
I tried leaving it for a good few minutes and eventually it booted into the bios screen but it was completely corrupt. Covered in speckles and noise, and completely messed up. It was still possible to navigate but you couldn't read it.
It looked like a borked graphic card, or some issue with RAM or the CPU which I was dreading trying to diagnose as I don't have spare RAM or a CPU I could swap.
Luckily it turned out just to be corrupted CMOS memory, and a resetting the CMOS fixed the issue.
I've never seen a corrupted CMOS do that to a PC before. I've seen them not boot or error on boot, but to boot into a completely corrupted BIOS UI after sitting ten minutes without any activity is really weird.

You want another weird one?
A few weeks back when I was installing my new GPU and making some case modifications, the PC wouldn't post and the displayed Q Code was for some PCH error. After looking online, all information I could find indicated it was a defective CPU so I thought the 5950X3D was faulty.
Turns out it was nothing to do with the CPU and one of the fan hubs I put in couldn't cope with the fans and wattage I plugged into it. Even more weird was it would throw the same error and refuse to POST even if the fan hub was not plugged into the board, just the PSU.
Moral of the story is, if I listened to what the B650e-e and the internet told me, a perfectly fine CPU would have been returned for what was actually a case fan issue...
