ASUS Releases Updated BIOS for AM5 800 & 600-Series Motherboards Enhancing Security, Performance, Stability, and Memory Compatibility

ASUS has launched an updated BIOS version, AGESA “Pre1.3.0.0”, for its AM5 motherboards belonging to the 800 and 600 series, aimed at enhancing both stability and performance.

Enhanced BIOS for Improved Security, Performance, and Stability on ASUS AM5 Motherboards

In response to user feedback regarding the reliability of AMD Ryzen CPUs on its AM5 motherboards, ASUS has initiated a comprehensive investigation. Following this, the tech giant has released the AGESA BIOS firmware update across a wide range of its AM5 motherboards within the 800-series and 600-series.

While ASUS has not explicitly confirmed if these updates rectify the previously reported concerns, the new firmware introduces a significant array of enhancements. Notable features include an upgrade to ComboAM5 PI_Pre 1.3.0.0 firmware, which promises better security, improved system performance, and greater stability, alongside heightened memory compatibility for JEDEC-compliant modules.

Additionally, the new BIOS brings a notable addition in memory management: the M_Ordering feature or Bank Refresh mode. This new memory controller policy governs the handling of DDR5 refresh protocols and the permissible refresh timing pathways.

Historically, the M_Ordering mode defaulted to Normal. However, in the latest BIOS versions (AGESA 1.2.8.0+, 1.2.9.0, 1.3.0.0), this setting has shifted to relaxed. Consequently, this may cause some memory profiles to experience instability, resulting in WHEA errors, application or game crashes. ASUS has provided guidance for users to help them adjust their memory profiles effectively here:

My previous profile is now unstable!

Utilizing tight refresh values can lead to elevated instances of boot failures, WHEA errors, and application or game crashes if tRFC2 / tRFCsb settings are overly aggressive. This is because the Integrated Memory Controller (IMC) now actively enforces these values, which were previously disregarded.

Guidelines for Stability

• Set tRFC1 = tRFC2
• Utilize this value as the same “tRFC target” previously applied as tRFC1 with pre-AGESA 1.2.8.0 behavior.

This approach minimizes the risk of inadvertently transferring a profile that was optimized under the prior assumption of a singular refresh path being used.

Relaxed Does Not Equate to Free Performance

Relaxed settings do not automatically permit lower tRFC configurations. It does not inherently enable tighter refresh recovery than Normal by merely switching modes. Testing for DRAM and system stability is essential, regardless of which mode may yield the best performance for specific workloads.

Optimal Performance Recommendations

Performance can vary, but many users, including myself, generally find that Normal settings yield superior performance for gaming. Although raw bandwidth might improve with Relaxed settings, this does not necessarily correlate with enhanced real-world gaming performance.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, Normal settings are typically the preferred default for gaming-oriented systems, as they tend to provide the most reliable real-world performance.Relaxed settings may offer modest improvements in bandwidth and latency during synthetic memory tests, but these benefits do not always align with better gaming outcomes, and any differences often remain minimal. If mixed refresh behavior is not a necessity, it is advisable to maintain Normal settings for clarity and consistency during cross-BIOS evaluations.
