These fixes are to ensure that users will have a smooth and reliable performance with the new CPUs. Additionally, the update includes several compatibility improvements and workaround with NVIDIA's RTX 40 Series graphics cards, especially the 4070 and 4060 GPUs, which were previously causing some instability issues.

It's not out for the whole product range yet. I see it available for the B650 Carbon and Tomahawk as a beta BIOS.

I wonder if this will allow WD NVME drives to work in the top M2 slots (that connects directly to the CPU). It is nearly a year since any of the BIOS releases for my x670E tomahawk can detect the drives from a cold boot. So disappointing.

I have a WD Black SN850X running in the top slot of my X670E Ace with no issues

Did it work in previous BIOS releases? Or has this one fixed it?

Yeah I've never had an issue with it. Been using that in the top slot and a Kingston SKC3000 as my boot drive in the slot next to the RAM. I did get a firmware update on the drive to version 620361WD, not sure how long that's been out.

Must be a Tomahawk issue then. No firmware updates available for my WD drives as they're up to date, and as it impacts more than just WD it is very clearly an MSI issue. Just means I'm on older BIOS that works, but AMD can't sell me a 9000 series CPU until it is fixed.

Shameful that MSI have had such a widespread issue for nearly a year.

If people had to wait 1.5 years from AMD for the fix for some 4000 series cards , then the consumers can wait another half year for the rest of the fixes. Or just use the M.2 ssd as backup disk in an nice enclosure box. Win win, you all need backup disks not always connected to the pc. See this issue as an great feature from MSI, LOOL

I run a B650 Tomahawk and WD 850X, i have no issues with the drive detection from cold boot.

ROG STRIX B650E-E
BIOS 3014
2024/07/22
"Update AGESA version to Combo AM5 PI 1.2.0.0a for optimizing next generation AMD Ryzen™ processors performance
Before running the USB BIOS Flashback tool, please rename the BIOS file (SB650EE.CAP) using BIOSRenamer"
But on MSI i read also more log like previous gen CPU too had better efficiency.

I'm on 2414 released same day as 2613 (for 9000), and not sure if last 3014 would do anything (good).
