Shit like this is why I'm glad that AMD stays on top of BIOS updates. Built my first AMD machine in 2022 and it's blowing my mind that my motherboard is still being supported 3 years later. (I wanted to switch sooner, but my timing between builds was always bad. Missed out on Kuma, missed out on the Athlon era when they were embarrassing the Pentium 4.) When I was with Intel, I'd be lucky to get one BIOS update, if even that.

Can't wait for the end of the AM5 platform in a few years, when I'll be able to upgrade my 7700X to the latest X3D chip, and practically have a brand new PC all over again.
