#223040 — Buster and motherboard

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

I aim to use the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 as the CPU and the MSI X570-A PRO as the
motherboard
with the stable release of Debian Buster as the operating system.

However i was recently given the following information by an MSI user about
the MSI X570-A PRO :-

 "See the following link :-

https://community.amd.com/servlet/jiveservlet/downloadimage/
2-2975897-167843/MSI_X570-PRO.png. png

As you can see, according to the above link, the BIOS offered by MSI is
still Beta, not the final version of
AGESA 1.0.0.5

AGESA 1.0.0.6 is usually the final version that ends the cycle for every
Ryzen generation so its a reference
(this approach has been so for 1st and 2nd Ryzen generations) offering
stability regardless of using 2000 or
3000 series.

 the BIOS should be flashed to AGESA 1.0.0.6 end of 2018 by the seller
before the computer is bought"

I have further been informed that the X570 board and Ryzen 3000 series came
out about the same time as
the stable release of Buster I.e. July 2019

As mentioned at the beginning of this email, various reports have convinced
me that the Ryzen 5 3600 CPU
will work okay with the stable release of Buster. But the MSI X570-A PRO
motherboard and its BIOS may have
a serious issue with Buster. Indeed the motherboard may fail to boot.

So I am rather concerned about the stability offered by the BIOS on the MSI
X570-A PRO motherboard.

It seems unlikely to me, but obviously you are concerned.

I can attest that my ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 booted
perfectly with an AMD 5 3600, and has been working perfectly
for the last 6 months or so. (Current uptime: 114 days.)

If you're slightly concerned, buy it from a store with a good
return policy; if you're very concerned -- well, the ASRock 
probably has most of the features you were looking for.

No, I cannot see:

So, you own a MSI X570-A PRO motherboard with 7C37vH84(Beta version) 
firmware and an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor (?).

I would install Buster and see what happens.  If it works to your 
satisfaction, you are done.


If not, please reply with what you did and the results you obtained,


David
