I notice AMD have updated their X570 sata/raid drivers. I'm using a raid10 on my board currently without raidxpert2. So if I upgrade my bios it potentially could mean my memory overclock is unstable (happened last time from F12f to F12h), and I could lose my array. I lost my array but it came back again after I booted into windows (I think aslong as you don't delete it in the bios it picks itself back up)(I lost it after leaving it running for over a week I believe booted from the array itself). It may be that raidxpert2 helps with stability, it rechecks the array when you install it.

I installed F30 today - computer is running OK but am getting some strange errors when trying to install new applications or open certain applications. "windows 10 error 0x80004005". Anyone had a similar experience after updating BIOS?

Totally forgot about my bios.
Checked it after reading through this tread, I was on F10.
Upgraded to F20.

Just a few settings to tweak, that's okay for me, settling into the new bios.

F30 is the only one that matters if you're upgrading to 5900x/5800x. I've never upgraded a bios whilst running raid 10. I have a backup 2 backups of my data so not an issue if it goes **** up. Also I've experienced memory tuning to not carry over from f12f to f12h, so I need to wait till I've got time to potentially redo my RAM settings. Only 3600Mhz 16,16,15,32 1t 288tRFC (4 x 8GB b-die @ 1.35v) geardown mode enabled.

Yes, timings always need to be redone after a flash. I've been on f30 for 2 weeks now and not had any issues. 3800MHz 16-18-18-18 1t.

Having said that, I've not had a real issue with any BIOS version on this board, even betas.
