Pretty basic question. I currently have BIOS version 1.09 but I would like the keyboard lights to stay on. But I read here that most current BIOS version 1.13 throttles the cpu.

True or false? Thanks

    Nah you need to make sure that all other programs are closed then double click on the autorun, it does it all automatically. If I've answered your question please click YES

    The AMD Ryzen 5 has a core speed of 3134mhz, I have BIOS 1.13 and it is not throttled back as the pic shows. I know that the poster in the topic that got you concerned said it throttled it back to 3143 but that is nonsense since it always has been 3143 but he may be confused with the boost speed of 3600 max overclocked. If this answers your question please click YES

    Are these BIOS updates cumulative and carry over all the other previous updates?

    While benchmarking the memory I was able to hit 3.592.72 Mhz consistantly! BIOS 1.13 definitely not throttled!
    I have a screenshot saved.
