Gigabyte B650 Eagle Ax (rev. 1.2)

Launch Stability & Compatibility

The platform establishes initial stability with vF1 using AGESA 1.1.0.1, which is immediately refined in vF2 to mitigate the LogoFAIL vulnerability, preventing malicious code execution during the DXE boot phase. vF4 updates the firmware to AGESA 1.1.0.2b, specifically targeting Ryzen 8000 APUs to enhance performance by disabling the default STAPM (Skin Temperature Aware Power Management) limits. Early system compatibility is further stabilized in vF37.

Feature Maturity & Hardware Support

Support for Ryzen 9000 "Granite Ridge" processors is enabled in vF30 via AGESA 1.1.7.0. vF31 integrates AGESA 1.2.0.0a, which introduces Curve Shaper to allow distinct undervolting strategies for varying thermal states. Performance tuning expands in vF32b with a one-click 105W TDP mode to unlock higher throughput for 65W CPUs, followed by vF32f (AGESA 1.2.0.2a) which implements X3D Turbo Mode to optimize thread scheduling and CCD parking for gaming workloads. vF36 adds support for the AI TOP Utility and vF33 (AGESA 1.2.0.3a) optimizes inter-core latency for 2CCD Ryzen processors.

Critical Security & Power Management

Firmware vF32a integrates AGESA 1.2.0.1a to patch the critical Sinkclose vulnerability, preventing SMM Lock Bypass attacks. vF32 further hardens the system against SMM exploits (AMD-SB-7027) via AGESA 1.2.0.2b. vF33 and vF35 (AGESA 1.2.0.3e) address multiple security flaws, including the Microcode signature verification vulnerability (CVE-2024-36347) and the TPM Out-of-Bounds Read issue (CVE-2025-2884). Finally, vF38 updates to AGESA 1.2.8.0 to resolve the Hynix Rowhammer vulnerability (CVE-2025-6202) affecting specific DDR5 memory modules.
