AGESA 1.2.0.2 firmware is now live on MSI motherboards, meaning anyone on that platform now has access to the Ryzen 9000 series latency fix, and the stable 105W TDP mode for the 9700X and 9600X CPUs.

MSI has now released a BIOS update “for trial use” that facilitates the new CCD patch that reduced the latency on Ryzen 9000 series processors. This patch was first released on ASUS motherboards, along with the last stable update to the 105 TDP modes for Ryzen 96 and 9700X.

How to get the new BIOS update

If you’re on an MSI motherboard, all you need do is head to the manufacturer’s website and snag yourself a new BIOS, assuming you know how to install it.

This is the page for the B650-A, one of MSI’s more popular boards, we have no basis for that, it’s just one that we see around a lot, informing the user that the AGESA update is in trial use. This tells us that it is some sort of beta, as stated in the version name.

Interesting to see that all of the motherboard manufacturers release these motherboard BIOS updates at different times. It could be model-dependent, maybe certain manufacturers have more motherboards to update than others.

Funnily enough, there are a couple of X670s missing from that list, like the X670E Gaming Plus, which is still on AGESA 1.2.0.1. We don’t know if that’s a choice MSI has made, or if it’s just coming at a later date.

WccfTech has put together a full list of MSI boards that have gotten this update so far, they can be observed below:
