BIOS
All X570 motherboards can support the latest 2nd Gen Ryzen 3000-series CPUs from AMD, however, you might want to update your motherboard’s BIOS to the latest one. The new AMD AGESA 1.0.0.3ABBA BIOS fixes the boost clock frequency issue.
Watch out for the next BIOS update AGESA 1.0.0.4 B, which manufacturers are starting to release.
