Only install these beta BIOS files if you dont care about the risk of bricking your motherboard. Don't phone overclockers to RMA said board. Try to reflash it first. If not then get it reflashed in a repair shop to unbrick with an older bios version. Or contact asrock for repair. https://www.asrock.com/support/index.asp?cat=RMA BIOS $15.00 + shipping

Reports are that the BIOS boosts core speeds even in prime95 by people that have the beta BIOS installed.

For those with a Master and an iron stomach I have an AGESA 1004b BIOS for the X570 Master you can try. You can consider this an "alpha" release as we are still working on testing it internally. If you want to wait for an actual BETA BIOS (F#x) I should have those very soon for all the X570 boards. Expect to be flashing over this BIOS very soon. This is not a daily driver. Its intended to test and play around with the new code. Don't spend a ton of timing dialing in settings / overclocks if you aren't willing to re-do all that work very shortly .

I don't know which boards will support 1.0.0.4. Only the ones that have a beta BIOS in the links above.

DO NOT USE THE X570 Taichi BETA 2.30 BIOS FOUND ON REDDIT.

If you do not want to spend the next 1 hour of your life trying to roll back to 2.11

Thanks for the feedback Panos, we are grateful for the warning. Is it corrupt, cant boot or just really badly unstable? Or is rolling back very hard? Did you try the one at https://shop.jzelectronic.de/news.php?id=1571896680&sw=AM4 If not no worries.

Tried the one from reddit as it was a safe zip file. The one you link is .exe and rather not use it.
The system boots very slow, after 2 self restarts. Setting XMP just hangs there trying to restore it for 1 hour. As every time it reboots and you think great, before it loaded windows was gone.
Then wasn't booting even after continuously reseting the bios. Had enough and rolled back to 2.11 on the first opportunity that let me load the bios.

When there is a proper bios, released directly by Asrock I will use it.

Thank god you were at least able to downgrade to 2.11. Sounds like an issue with the ram. Thank you for trying the bios and sharing the results.

my RAM hasn't an issue. Because this beta bios wasn't loading even without XMP. The 2 self reboots of the bios after the update were the sign of the issues with the bios.

And is the beta bios and not my RAM, because this same kit is been used at 3800C16 1800IF with tight timings, is been used also as 3600C15 with DOOP (XMP is 3600C16) on a 1800X the first week game out.
Why I point that, is because was one of the few were working 3600 ram kits with the 1800X when came out, when the significant majority couldn't pull over 3200 even months later.

You can always edit them yourself but I think there are more refined ways of doing this with Intel BIOSs than AMD ones right now. I updated my ancient X58 board with the last microcode updates with the security patches relatively easily.

Edit a bios file and flash it? Never heard of this. What is there to be gained?

Beta BIOS, are use at your own risk and the main source is a shop. Most of the time you can just restore the old BIOS, its no big deal. Some boards have dual BIOS's. You can just switch back to the old bios if the new one bricks the board and then reflash to another version. In this case there is just one bios, so there is a small chance of completely bricking the board. Then having to wait weeks for the board to return from asrock after they reflash the chip for you. Sometimes a repair shop has the equipment to reflash the BIOS ROM chip for you.

The cost is approx. $15 in the USA + P&P. If you are fine with the risk then try it out. If not dont touch the beta bios. 99% of the time you should be fine if the bios is a real beta bios for your board. Sometimes beta bios are just buggy as hell and will not work for some people.
