Hi, I built my PC about a year ago and I've never updated my bios. I never had a want/need to do so until now and if it ain't broke, don't fix it right?
I'm still on the version from April 2020 (not sure which exact one), but since AMD just released support for AMD Smart Access Memory for 5000 series GPUs, and since I have a R5 3600 I figured I'd enable it.
I'd need to update my bios so I could enable it, so I'm asking you guys what you think. Is it worth doing so?
I don't have anywhere to backup my data either and I have 4 drives 3TB total, 1.8TB filled currently.
Should I just wait to see how it works for others? Is it too risky to try? I wouldn't mind if it wiped my computer if I had somewhere to backup my data, but I don't currently.

You should watch idle voltage, if you think its too high then disabble the PBO. or leave on Auto.
Asus boards usually give higher voltage when PBO is on . why do you set the multiplier? its not Intel.

When I set the CORE MULTIPLIER setting in bios to "Auto" the core voltage (as reported by bios in the main screen and HWiNFO64) jumps to 1.48V. I'm guessing that's not healthy for my 5950x. It also stays high while idling and drops under load, down to 1.28V (roughly) while running Cinebench R23.
Same behavior running prime 95. Core voltage (reported by HWiNFO64) drops under load. Ryzen Master Core Voltage reports differently (lower) than HWiNFO64 or the voltage reported in bios.
This can't be intended behavior???
I've also noticed that turning the multiplier up, say from 40 to 41, directly affects the core voltage.
[SOLUTION]
Just disconnected all my HD’s and it posted so I could jump in the bios and change the version. 4005 worked just fine 👍

So skipping the title I’ve searched online for answers but I seem to be the only person having this problem. The pc was working just fine (I think I was on one of the 3000 bios updates) then after updating it refuses to post.
I’m able to get to the Boot LED in the booting process but then it stops there and the light remains on telling me that’s where the problem lies, but I can’t get it to post to flashback or fix the OS or any bios settings.
My model doesn’t appear to have a flashback button either.
CPU: Ryzen 7 5800x

Troubleshooting methods I’ve tried:
Reseeding CPU
Troubleshooting RAM
Clearing the CMOS
Shorting out CLRTC (both with and without the mobo battery)
Booting without GPU

But nothing seems to be working and idk what to do at this point. Help would be overly appreciated.
