Some facts about L3.54 beta bios (B450 ITX) in my rig:
1) CPU Stability: Prime 95 max power 16 threads stress test fails instantly (instead of after a few seconds like in previous BIOS). This is with stock settings and seems to be fixed by increasing the VCORE OFFSET by 50mv (could be my sample of 3700X).
> I had some crashes playing "Code Vein" something I never had before playing this game or any other game. But again this is probably related to P95 failing in 0 seconds instead 30-200 seconds.
2) dGPU is working at 8x (1.0/2.0/3.0) instead 16x (1.0/2.0/3.0)
3) Full UEFI: If I disable CSM (something I'd like to do but haven't been doing) I need to reset the CMOS or remove the NVME SSD drive because it fails to finish the post (screen shows properly though).
In previous BIOS i was able to boot without CSM but sometimes I was getting a frozen screen in the ASRock logo / POST.
Is still a beta BIOS of course. So maybe this will be fixed in the future.
I'm mostly worried about point 1. I don't know if my 3700X sample is bad or what. Anybody knows if raising VCORE +50mv is risky?
