AMD AGESA 1.0.0.3ABA Buggy, Company Pulls it from

The newest model of AGESA ComboAM4 microcode that permits third era Ryzen assist on AMD 400-series chipset motherboards has been deemed buggy and pulled from motherboard distributors. AGESA ComboAM4 1.0.0.3ABA (to not be confused with 1.0.0.3AB that is being extensively distributed), was initially launched to repair an utility crash observed with “Destiny 2.” The microcode inadvertantly destabilizes PCI-Express on motherboards, with customers of ASUS motherboards complaining of stability points with the newest BIOS updates that embrace 1.0.0.3ABA.

Peter “Shamino” Tan from ASUS commented that the corporate was beneath a decent schedule to push 1.0.0.3ABA out as BIOS updates, and did not have the time to correctly validate it. “We just got told to pull (was undergoing validation prior) 1003 ABA version,” he mentioned, including the basis explanation for the issue being “that PCIE speed of BXB-C downgraded from gen4 to gen2,…” He feedback “so its not surprising that bugs emerge since the source has hidden bugs that only gets unraveled with thorough testing. combine that with trying to get firmwares out in a tight time frame, kinda damn if you do (release firmware quickly) and damn if you dont (dont release firmware quickly) situation.” It’s fascinating to notice that of their BIOS replace change-logs, fairly a number of motherboard distributors omit the total model string of AGESA. You could encounter ComboAM4 1.0.0.3AB being referred to easily as “AGESA ComboAM4 1.0.0.3.”
