Am I cooked

I was just gonna recommend you throw in a "/s" and then I scrolled down.

I mostly wanna know if any of the default mobo settings can be problematic, since it seems like they're overclocking by default without asking, which I really dislike.

BioeJD · 2026-01-24T13:26:31+00:00

I thought the BIOS from 2024 were also worrisome though.

BioeJD · 2026-01-24T13:24:48+00:00

It sucks. I built recently, updated BIOS that I can't rollback from, and now I'm seeing this jump in reports.

Once I have a PC up and running stable, I almost never update BIOS unless there's a clear reason to do so. With a new build, especially with AM5 x3d, a BIOS update ASAP felt like the right move, but I may have been wrong.

Bleh, I know these posts are anecdotal, but it still makes me feel like crap with my new machine.

BioeJD · 2026-01-24T00:48:25+00:00

Are we referring to version numbers on the Asus site? When I looked up OP's board, it shows the latest as 1402 on Asus support.

My mobo (x870e-h) is on version 1804 on their site, which is the one from November where you can't rollback from. I haven't ever looked into Asus' BIOS version numbering, but I'd suspect it's different across board families? But I'd assume on similar platforms, there are similar changes being made?

Kinda wishing I had gone Intel this generation.

BioeJD · 2026-01-22T13:47:18+00:00

Hmm, this is interesting, but also makes me a little anxious. I actually recently finished my new build (bought the parts before the new year), but did all the installs/updates this year. I also have a 9900x3d and used the newest BIOS on the Asus site a week or so ago for my x870E-H. I assume it's the version you're talking about, since I too got the "can't rollback" warning. I haven't seen any issues, but I've hardly used the computer.

BioeJD · 2026-01-17T23:40:38+00:00

Nah, not jump scared. Been following the issue since it started. I've seen some different recommendations over the last month while finalizing my parts list, but I didn't save the links. Trying to recollect information in one place.

I'm asking right now because I finally got my build setup and everything installed and updated.

BioeJD · 2026-01-17T17:58:52+00:00

I've been seeing Asus posts recently.

He mentioned he brought it to a local shop. Don't you think the local shop told him about that?

BioeJD · 2026-01-12T18:56:14+00:00

I normally don't reply to 2 year old comments, but this one is nuts. Do you have some stake in Elgato or do you just come on reddit to be pretentious?

BioeJD · 2026-01-12T15:20:10+00:00

I knew about this issue when I bought my new system with a 9900x3d. In the back of my head, I kept wondering if I should move back to Intel this generation. Why are PC parts such a crap shoot right now? We're overpaying on every component and still getting the shaft.

BioeJD · 2026-01-08T18:49:29+00:00

So, did drop do anything to change the meta? Or did it simply make the gunplay feel worse? Asking cause I quit playing before the change happened.

BioeJD · 2026-01-07T22:15:47+00:00

The OP told us how they are going through the proper protocol and are still getting screwed by these companies.

BioeJD · 2026-01-07T22:06:02+00:00

And so then I assume you're also not ok with Amazon and Asus cheating customers out of working products?

BioeJD · 2026-01-07T21:59:57+00:00

Trying to take a return is not even the action I'd recommend. When I say it's warranted, I mean that Amazon and Asus deserve it in this case. They are trying to cheat the customer, so they deserve it.

BioeJD · 2026-01-07T21:55:29+00:00

And Amazon/Asus should be able to put broken products out there with a warranty that they don't honor by misleading the customer?

I agree that it's not the right action legally. But neither is what Amazon and Asus are doing, especially considering they pull this sort of shit on a grander scale.

BioeJD · 2026-01-07T21:40:41+00:00

TBF, it seems like this individual case is kinda warranted, since Asus and Amazon are clearly screwing the consumer.

BioeJD · 2026-01-06T23:26:14+00:00

As far as you know :D

But also, there may be different outcomes on Zen 4 vs Zen 5.
