ASUS X870E motherboard BIOS exclusive: Heavy Load Dynamic C0 Stabilizer for overclocking Zen 5

AMD will launch its next-gen Zen 5-based Ryzen 9000 series "Granite Ridge" CPUs on July 31, with ASUS and its beefed-up X870E motherboards ready with some exclusive BIOS support for the Zen 5 chips.

A member of the HardwareLuxx forums who created the popular thread featuring AGESA updates, has provided an overview of what ASUS is cooking for its new ROG STRIX X870E-E Gaming motherboard, with features not yet supported by ASUS on its motherboards. This includes:

• Heavy Load Dynamic C0 Stabilizer: "Enable to switch over to PBO Mode from OC Mode during periods of very high loading.
• All Core Safe C0 Svalue to Switch to: "Set an appropriate fallback Curve Optimizer value for periods of very heavy loading".

ASUS will allow increases to fan point adjustments to 8, compared to 4 on the previous-gen motherboard in the ROG STRIX X670E-E mobo. ASUS will also include new DDR5 memory OC and Curve Shaper support, which will also be coming to the 600-series motherboards.
