As PC enthusiasts gear up to launch AMD’s upcoming “Zen 5” Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs. Motherboard manufacturer ASUS ensures its high-end X670E boards are ready with a new BIOS update. Read on to learn the details of ASUS’ AGESA 1.1.8.0 firmware and how it improves support for the next-gen AMD processors.
What Does the AMD AGESA 1.1.8.0 BIOS Update Include?
Last month, ASUS released the AMD AGESA 1.1.7.0 BETA BIOS for their AM5 motherboards, including the X670E, X670, B650E, B650, and A620 chipset models. This provided early compatibility for the new AM5 socket.

While full details aren’t yet known, this update is expected to enhance performance and stability when pairing an X670E board with the next-gen AMD processors slated to launch next month. ASUS’ prompt rollout signals their commitment to backers that top-end ASUS AM5 motherboards will be ready to unlock the full potential of the new CPUs.
