Based on my experiences with Asus I will not be buying from them again.

New AMD Microcode AGESA 1.0.0.5 on the way

Hah, yeah, I have the board and I though they'd just abandoned it. It took so long.
It'll be next year sometime that it gets this update.

Has anyone with X570 and AGESA 1.0.0.5 tested if Ryzen 1st gen now work?
Apparently it's working on some gigabyte boards with version 1.0.0.4b or greater according to some reddit comment but would be nice to get some confirmation!

Updated my Mortar Max over the weekend (to 7B89v27) - no new* issues so far.
Only updated as I was on v25, and v26 included some smart fan improvements
(* Still have the same issue where it's really hard to click and change the fan ramp up/down times in the bios)

Change your mouse pointer speed in the bios first to 1, makes it much easier, I cant remember which menu its in so you'll have to have a quick look through.
As for first Gen RyZen, all boards are different, so which ever board you are interested in, have a look on their website at that board and check the CPU supported list, they should update those lists with each major bios update, I know Gigabyte have not yet released 1.0.0.5, but supports the 1600AF versions, but those are really 2nd Gen chips, and MSI in the X570 range is in beta, so the list hasnt yet been updated.

Fairly sure it was on 1 anyway, as have never changed it - but will double check
Just had to change a couple of things in the bios to test something out for myself, so the mouse pointer speed setting is in Advanced - USB configuration - Enhanced Mouse Pointer.
i have the same Mobo (MSI B450m Mortar Max) can you please tell me
when i update bios can i just take the latest one or should i go up from V21 to the V27

It does not mention anything about needing to do the upgrade in micro jumps so you should be fine with the latest version.
Thanks a lot
Don
Yep straight to latest.
I downloaded it onto a Fat32 formatted usb stick and used the M flash option from within the bios
Don
Checked this morning and was already set to 1
It's not so much the pointer that's the issue, it just doesn't seem to consistently recognise clicks into the drop downs for fan step-up/step-down times. Everywhere else in the bios seems to be fine.
Have tried another mouse as well, and still the same.

Which is why I gave up on Asus because their support in this aspect got bad. For a premium priced brand they need to sort that out.
I used to be a Gigabyte fanboy, but there bioses seem to get worse and worse, I gave them one more try when B350 came out and that sealed the deal for me, what a pile of junk that board was, so I moved to an MSI B350 Mortar back then, that was about 2 years ago and fell in love with it, whilst everyone else was struggling to get there ram to run at rated speeds, I had non of that on the MSI board, been MSI ever since, I have an X570 Ace now, but I do fancy grabbing an X570 Tomahawk just to have a play about with, see how it performs etc, i'll either sell it on after a month or so or build a system out of it.

This is the problem I think - the support is unofficial, I've not found an x570 board yet that lists 1st gen on the CPU support page for any board - do you know of one officially listing support?
Why would you want to even put a first gen chip into an X570 motherboard, you could get a 2nd gen chip for the same price, or even wait for the 3100 & 3300 to be released which are budget 3rd gen chips.

I have a spare 8 core first gen - If I can get an X570 board cheap I'd rather go that way that B450 (need more than a single x16 slot)

did a fresh format yesterday and installed the 1005 V3.60 BIOS on my B450 Tomahawk MAX. BIOS mouse movement has been sorted , also there are 2 XMP profiles shown as well. Performance wise , its more or less the same from what I can see so far. Getting 4800 score on Cinebench R20 on everything Auto is similar to what I got on v3.50 BIOS.
