ASUS has now rolled out its second AGESA 1.0.0.7a (Patch A) BIOS firmware for AM5 motherboards following the AMD Ryzen burnout issues.
ASUS's 2nd BETA BIOS For AM5 Motherboards Has Been Released: AGESA 1.0.0.7 Patch A But Patch B Is Already In The Works
ASUS rolled outs its first AMD AGESA 1.0.0.7 BETA BIOS firmware at the end of April. This rollout was to ensure that the SoC voltage was limited to 1.3V to avoid any burnout issues with the AMD Ryzen 7000 CPU lineup. However, information we received pointed out that all initial AGESA BIOS firmware based on 1.0.0.7 will be riddled with bugs and it won't be until sometime before they get resolved.
It looks like ASUS has now rolled out its second AGESA BIOS firmware which is labeled 1.0.0.7a. This is the Patch A BIOS which according to ASUS updates the AGESA to ComboAM5 PI1007a & improves system performance. But based on what we have learned, this BIOS once again has the same DDR5 limitations associated with the previous AGESA and doesn't include the new thermal limits.
But for those who want to try out the new BIOS, you can grab the new BIOS from the following links:

It looks like AMD motherboard vendors have missed the initial deadline to roll out the proper BIOS firmware that was meant to introduce PROCHOT Control and PROCHOT Deassertion Ramp Time functions which would have fully eliminated the burnout issues. Although there has been no major report since the SoC voltage was limited to 1.3V by BIOS vendors, the full solution is yet to make its way to AM5 motherboards.
So far, the internal memory and stability issues are causing the delay of these two functions and it looks like it will be some time before we get to see them in a public Non-BETA BIOS. With that said, a Patch B of the AGESA 1.0.0.7 is already in the works and there's also info regarding a Patch C immediately after that.
