AMD AGESA & BIOS help

[Andrei87]

My spec:
AMD Ryzen 5 3600
Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite
G.Skill Ripjawz 32gb 3200MHZ
Powercolor Red Devil RX5700 XT
Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500gb - win drive
Samsung 860 Evo 1tb
Corsair AX650 PSU

F10 is the latest bios revision for this motherboard, does it also contain the agesa firmware? Or am I reading it wrong? Thank you!

It does indeed. Mentions it in point 1 of description in right column (it’s telling you what it has, not what you need)

MAke sure you have the latest chipset drivers for X570 too.

Reinstall gfx drivers after too.

Thanks guys!
Also another thing: I have to rename the bios file name right?

Why would you rename it? It needs to be extracted on to a FAT32 formatted USB stick that's all.

For some reason some mobos and especially the x570 range on the download page it says you have to rename the file before flashing it.

Baffles me also.

Ah weird. I have a Gigabyte x570 Pro and I just extract it and choose the BIOS file and it seems fine. It's already named in a format that has 'xxxxx.f10' for example so it's easy to identify.

you only need to rename it if your using the bios reflash button.
for bios updating though bios with full system cpu ram etc all conected you dont need to rename it at all.
the bios flashback can't read number or file versions so a single name is need but thats the only time
