Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS

Launch Stability & Compatibility

Initial firmware focuses on stabilizing the X570 platform and optimizing Ryzen 3000 series performance. Update v0804 improves PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD compatibility, while v1005 integrates AGESA 1.0.0.3ABB to resolve RDRAND instruction failures affecting Linux and specific gaming titles. Critical performance tuning arrives in v1201 (AGESA 1.0.0.3ABBA), which corrects core frequency scaling to fix Boost Clock behavior. Compatibility expands in v1404 with AGESA 1.0.0.4 Patch B, enabling Ryzen 2000-series APUs, followed by v1407 which exposes BCLK Frequency and SB Clock Spread Spectrum controls in the UEFI.

Feature Maturity & Hardware Support

Mid-cycle updates enable next-generation hardware and refine system architecture. Version 3001 introduces Resizable BAR support, while v3202 (AGESA 1.1.9.0) implements Curve Optimizer for voltage tuning. Storage and connectivity stability are addressed in v3602 (AGESA 1.2.0.1), which restores L3 Cache bandwidth, and v4021 (AGESA 1.2.0.3c), which definitively resolves widespread USB connectivity dropouts. Support for the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is formalized in v4204 (AGESA 1.2.0.6b), ensuring proper L3 V-Cache utilization, while v4005 configures default settings for Windows 11 readiness.

Critical Security & Power Management

Later revisions prioritize security mitigation and long-term stability. Version 4403 (AGESA 1.2.0.7) eliminates fTPM Stuttering by optimizing TPM key validation, while v4602 (AGESA 1.2.0.8) unlocks native Curve Optimizer support for the 5800X3D. Security patches are deployed in v5003 (AGESA 1.2.0.B) to mitigate the Inception vulnerability, followed by v5013 (AGESA 1.2.0.Ca) which addresses LogoFAIL and Zenbleed exploits. High-severity SMM lock bypass risks associated with Sinkclose are resolved in v5020 and v5021 (AGESA 1.2.0.Cc). Final maintenance updates v5031 (AGESA 1.2.0.E) and v5041 (AGESA 1.2.0.F) harden SMM defenses and upgrade fTPM firmware for sustained Windows 11 compatibility.
