Have you heard anything about the R5 1600 AF?
They offer boards with BIOS flashback to let you update the firmware yourself, though these are pricier. If that's not an option, I'd consider their ATX A-Pro or mATX Pro-VDH models. I've seen the Mortar 3600MHz with a 16-21-24-42 chip paired with an R5 3600, suggesting the Pro-VDH performs similarly.
Zen+ handles this effortlessly. The signal at 3466 is quite weak. I can provide screen recordings for CL12/13, though they require more powerful equipment.
Be mindful, I’ve got an ASRock B450-pro4 board supporting the 1600AF. You’re planning to use BIOS 3.9, but that release suggests avoiding this CPU since it’s still a top-tier Pinnacle Ridge model. They advise against using it with the update—though you have the update, XD!
