MSI X370 GAMING PRO

Launch Stability & Compatibility

Initial post-launch firmware focuses on stabilizing memory training and expanding subsystem interoperability. Version v41 integrates AGESA 1.0.0.4a to improve DDR4 compatibility, while v42 resolves specific PCIe Hot-plug malfunctions. Storage and peripheral support are enhanced in v44, which optimizes Intel 600P NVMe detection, improves POST times, and enables Above 4G Decoding to support high-capacity GPU addressing. The early lifecycle concludes with v45, which updates the codebase to AGESA 1.0.0.6b to further refine memory performance.

Feature Maturity & Hardware Support

Mid-cycle updates prioritize processor support expansion and interface refinement. Version v48 introduces AGESA 1.1.0.1 to enable Raven Ridge APUs, followed by v4B which implements AGESA 1.0.0.2a to resolve USB mouse polling issues and improve M.2 device compatibility. Support for the Athlon 200GE with Radeon Vega Graphics is established in v4D. Version v4E integrates AGESA 1.0.0.6 to finalize compatibility for Raven Ridge and Bristol Ridge processors while enabling native SATA hotplug functionality.

Critical Security & Power Management

Recent firmware transitions to the ComboAm4v2PI codebase to address high-severity vulnerabilities and Windows 11 requirements. Version v4K4[Beta] updates to AGESA 1.2.0.7, resolving the fTPM Stuttering issue caused by key validation latency and enabling Secure Boot by default, though this update removes support for Bristol Ridge APUs. Security hardening continues in v4K6[Beta] with AGESA 1.2.0.A to patch TPM out-of-bounds access risks. Version v4K7[Beta] specifically mitigates CVE-2024-36877, followed by v4K8[Beta] which integrates AGESA 1.2.0.Cc to resolve the critical Sinkclose SMM Lock Bypass vulnerability. The latest update, v4KB[Beta], applies AGESA 1.2.0.F to upgrade fTPM firmware for improved anti-cheat compatibility and system stability.
