Gigabyte B650 Gaming X (AX) Owners

Has anyone had an increased occurrence of hanging on the Gigabyte logo recently? No response trying to enter BIOS and does not post beyond it. I've put it down to the latest release of Win 11 (with the co-pilot feature introduced) but that's only a guess as I haven't altered anything else. It's almost a 50% hit rate so something is not right.
 
New BIOS released in May >> https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B650-GAMING-X-AX-rev-10-11-12/support#support-dl-bios

Since the previous post on F21a, it looks like it was dropped for F21, then F23, F24a came in April and F30 released a few weeks ago.

  1. Checksum : 1DD1
  2. Update AMD AGESA 1.1.7.0 Patch A
As mentioned before, there's now a rev. 1.4 and rev. 1.5 of this motherboard. Also Gigabyte have released a B650 GAMING X AX V2 (rev. 1.x) version now.
 
How stable is this board? I'm considering it for my wife's build as the price it's a very nice price (though hoping to grab a sale). I'm looking to pair it with a 7600X and 2x16gb Corsair Vengeance 6000 C36. I was looking at the Asus Prime, partly for aesthetic purposes, but seen a couple horror shows on VRMs with the Prime.

I've had one from release with no issues.
 
I've been using this motherboard for almost a year now, I am kind of concerned that there hasn't been a stable bios release since FC bios back in November 2023, the duration between the first 3 bioses was about 1-2 months. Beta bioses have been a hit or miss for me, I would prefer a stable one. Anyone know why it's taking so long?
 
Seems like Gigabyte removed all the bios newer than the May 22, 2024 release today.

The latest current bios for download is now:

I also recently noticed only revision 1.5 has support for Ryzen 8000/9000 series cpus but the older revisions did not. I contacted Gigabyte support and they told me Rev. 1.4 lower revisions support Ryzen 7000 series cpus only. Since I'm on Rev. 1.3 I'm SOL for upgrading to future AM5 cpus, so much for the promise of AM5 support until 2027...

That's pretty crappy of Gigabyte if Rev. 1.4 and lower will only ever support Ryzen 7000 series CPUs only. Who will ever early adopt Gigabyte motherboards in the future now, if they keep messing around with different revisions every so many months, only for the earlier revisions not to be compatible with newer release CPUs?

I noticed the Gigabyte B650E AORUS MASTER, which came out at the same time as the rev. 1.0 B650 does have support for the 9000 series CPUs.

Edit: Just to add, 1.2.0.0a Patch A, is supposed to give support for Ryzen 9000 CPUs, so who knows, maybe the website pages will update in due course . . . ?

Yeah, i think it's more them not updating the website/data sheet rather than the boards. But it's kind of ****** for people trying to work out if a chips actually supported or not
