Aurora R10, BIOS 2.2.1 update, AGESA 1.0.0.6

Good afternoon everyone,

Just noticed the new 2.2.1 BIOS update for the Aurora R10.

This is the list of fixes : 

------------------------------------

Fixes & Enhancements

Fixes:
- Fixed the issue where the BIOS cannot be updated using Dell SupportAssist.

Enhancements:
- Added Dell SupportAssist | Pre-Boot System Performance Check warning message that is displayed while booting after Real Time Clock (RTC) reset.
- Enhanced the stability of the system after installing an XMP device. It is applicable on systems with BIOS versions earlier than 2.2.1.
- Reduced the fan noise when the system is idle.





 
----------------------------------------
 
So nothing really interesting, I guess the motherboard will still report itself wrongly to cpuz as a x570. I'll eat the bullet and update it to check the AGESA (we can always dream). Same AGESA, my hopes are down again.

    I don't believe they can update AGESA without updating the micro code, and for some reason they cannot update the micro code.

    I am thinking we will be stuck on AGESA 1.0.0.6 until EOL for the R10.

    I do like how it's called "XMP device". So XMP memory. I have no issues with my aftermarket memory, so I am going to wait a bit to see how this update works out.

    On a side note, can you try out REBAR support, see if the BIOS allows it? It was not included with the previous BIOS release.

    Updated, to 2.2.1 and the fans are certainly quieter at the expense of a couple of degrees in temperature. One downside is AWCC no longer shows any info for the CPU, Frequency or temp.

    I am going to hold off for a bit on this update. I have my fans fine tuned and would hate having to change the setup.

    Same to me, no more CPU info showing on the FUSION.

    Dear DexKen66, how can your FUSION has advance view tab on CPU and memory clock? so envy of you.  Is you CPU high end X model?

    In order to enable the Resizable BAR on RTX 3080, I think the GPU BIOS needs to be updated by using NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Firmware Update Utility.

    Fixes & Enhancements

    - Supports DisplayPort to DVI and DisplayPort to HDMI adapters in legacy mode.
    - Supports Resizable BAR feature to improve the gaming performance.
     
    Version v1.0.0.2, A00
     
    Release date

    Consider the chaotic GPU market today, flash the GPU bios at your own risk.

    I already have to vBIOS updated, but Dell didnt put the RBAR in the motherboard BIOS. There is not option in it. Mainly it is due to the fact that it will require to go higher in AGESA version and we would be able to go from Ryzen 3000 to Ryzen 5000, and they don't want that.

    I'm really grateful to learn something new from your reply every time.

    CPU-Z shows no info about AGESA version for my Ryzen 5900 OEM in BIOS version, only 2.2.1

    My hands are shaking, I admit that I don't have the courage to flash the GPU BIOS. 

    Sigh.
