Motherboard [New BETA BIOS - 30/03/2023]ASRock DeskMini X300 BIOS "L1.80D" - AGESA Combo V2 PI "1.2.0.A"

[HydrAxx747]

Hi all, a new Beta BIOS Update has just quietly arrived on the official ASRock DeskMini X300 BIOS support page, has just quietly arrived on the official BIOS support page of the ASRock DeskMini X300, the Beta BIOS "L1.80C" which has the only description: "Update AGESA", so I thought it must be the update to AGESA ComboV2PI 1.2.0.8 but in fact I was not there at all, because according to the software "Ryzen SMU Checker v1.2.2.0", the versions of the SMU firmwares for the Renoir and Cézanne APUs are respectively the versions 55.93 and 64.71, and therefore more recent versions than those present on the AGESA ComboV2PI 1.2.0.8, so after some tedious research on the web I was finally able to determine the version of the AGESA firmware present in this Beta BIOS and it would be the very latest and very recent AGESA ComboV2PI "1.2.0.A".

So don't ask what's new and other updates in this version "1.2.0.A" compared to "1.2.0.8", I don't know and I couldn't find any post about it , I can only assume it's still bug fixes, maybe slight performance and stability improvements, I haven't even had time to test this Beta BIOS yet, I'm coming to you talk about it and put the download link just to share what I learned and saw with you. If you ever decide to test it, do not hesitate to share your feedback.

Im still using the 1.70 BIOS with a 5700G and 32gb of 3200mhz Corsair ram. What benefit is there going to this new bios? I know with 1.70 there is no sleep function available. Does this resolve that issue? Is it worth the upgrade?

The notice that X300 does not support S3 state was removed from the asrock website..
That's probably why they are currently releasing new beta bios every week.
In my opinion, this is a sign that S3 will work soon.

It would be weird if S3 worked. Asrock support wrote to me a few days before the release of the bios " S3 is not supported by hardware limitations. BIOS Update will not help to get it work.".
