Seems like 3.20 is still labeled as beta.

I'm still on 3.15 which is working fine. Probably will wait for stable release.

The language of these press releases always gets a chuckle out of me:
>"...has observed reports on Reddit from users experiencing unexpected boot issues and error codes..."
>"To enhance user experience..."
Yes, my user experience would indeed be enhanced by my machine not having boot issues and error codes :) Thank you AsRock.

In any case, glad they fixed it. I assume this is to sort out the potentially burning 9800X3Ds as well?

ASrock's press release is awkwardly worded. "Improving ... boot issue" - this reads poorly. Improving a negative? Like improving a disaster or improving failures. How about just state that this is a partial solution to an issue or a solution to part of the issue.

All Asrock updates this year were betas: 3.18 A01, A02 and now 3.20. I installed it immediately - don't want to overlook something important and then regret it. Asrock wouldn't publish bios update if it wasn't crucial for system stability.

I will receive my 9800x3d next week as well as the Asrock 9800x3d. I'm very worried.

Shou MikoIt looks like Asus' SOC is also on the lose, so people needs to check, I might need to check mine on my own Asrock board even I do not run a X3D chip.

That's not just Asrock, it's the same on msi and I think gigabyte as well. They all push upwards of 1.8v to the soc

The X870E Nova has the beta status already released from 3.20. I updated to 3.20 on Saturday and haven't seen any issues with my 78X3D. About next weekend I'll get 98X3D.
