Updating bios to the newest release is usually safe, but consider the device model and manufacturer guidelines.

As long as it isn't marked as a BETA BIOS, it's fine. If you have an extremely old BIOS on specific motherboards, check every BIOS update released after the version you're using. Some updates depend on prior upgrades, especially on AM4 boards. I haven't noticed this on any AM5 boards yet. This information will appear in red or yellow text. Certain updates might also need specific chipset drivers installed first, which I've noted as well. This has mostly been observed on older AM4 boards.

Can you link me to where you have seen this, and what was the issues?

It seems the update affected a 9800x3d device. The discussion revolves around the ASUS ROG Strix X870e BIOS version 1804.

Consider upgrading to BIOS Version 1715. I usually hold off on BIOS updates unless compatibility or security issues arise. Systems can run for extended periods without changes if everything functions well.

I've noticed some voltage problems with AM5 too, so I'm being careful.

This has mostly focused on ASRock motherboards paired with X3D CPUs. Personally, I’m using an ASUS TUF B650 PLUS WIFI with a 9800X3D overclocked to 5.6Ghz, up from its stock speed of 5.25Ghz. I’m completely fine with it. I’ve been running this setup since January, and I even overclocked before launching Windows for the first time. I was also using the older BIOS version from December 2024, which supported the 9800X3D until last month when I updated it again. Keep in mind, you’ll likely encounter negative feedback from others because they’re outspoken. No one posts on forums saying your X870E works perfectly with 9800X3D—just stay aware. It’s definitely worth doing some research and staying informed, but you also need to set boundaries eventually.

I fully understand and share your thoughts. I plan to try the 1715 tomorrow. Regarding PBO, disabling it in the BIOS should prevent the CPU from overclocking itself.

The PBO is correct; it will remain off by default. Ensure Ryzen Master isn't running in Windows either, unless you wish to use it. No worries if you don’t have the software—nothing to stress over. I use PBO with a minor voltage reduction, called Curve Optimizer.
