It really didn’t help that Intel BIOS updates require both BIOS and ME updates. It surprised me on my ASUS board because after flashing the BIOS a warning appeared: “Your PC will now reboot, flash the BIOS again to update the ME.” I almost missed it. As I noted before, other manufacturers need to update the ME from Windows first, then the BIOS. Once settings shift, you’ll likely need to re-enable XMP or similar features. If your system came pre-built with a retail board, there could be additional tweaks involved—how do you make sense of all this for someone new? Even though I’m fairly experienced, I’m hesitant to update my AM5 board because it’s already stable and I don’t want any issues. By the way, I haven’t changed the TDP in the BIOS yet; I just adjusted it in Linux.
It sounds interesting. Since I don’t have an Intel machine, I didn’t notice how complex it is. Maybe they could simplify things a bit or make the instructions clearer and more straightforward. You might want to consider upgrading to AM5 because recent AGESA updates have improved Ryzen 7000 performance over time. If it’s an X3D chip, it’s worth updating since early 7800X-3D CPUs faced similar problems as Intel’s 13th/14th Gen chips—high voltage issues caused failures. Luckily, AMD fixed the problem quickly with a first BIOS update, then refined it further with another update, resolving the issue completely. So while Intel isn’t alone, AMD seems to have handled this much better.
