I've been with Windows 11 since launch with a 3700X and I do not have any stuttering issues.
Bingo!... Similar situation here!

x570 Aorus Master (see sig), and I started running fTPM in the bios ~ two years before I upgraded from Win10 Pro to Win11 Pro, and that was more than 18 months ago! Time flies, so I've been running fTPM without stutter or any other related problems in both Win10 and Win11 for at least 3.5 years, through numerous bios & OS & device driver upgrades, not mentioning major changes to my hardware in that time (CPUs, GPUs)--and never had an issue with it. Except for these posts I occasionally read in various forums that speak of fTPM, I haven't even thought about fTPM. (It's been as perfect/trouble-free as a feature can be, imo.)

For people still "worrying" about fTPM these days, I give this bit of free but heartfelt advice ...instead of reading what other people write about problems they have decided are the fault of this or that hardware in their systems, if you can try the hardware feature in your own system simply by throwing a bios switch and rebooting--well, by all means, do so and worry not. You'll soon discover whether fTPM-caused stuttering is something you have to worry about, or it isn't! That's worth all the third party, armchair detective work in the world, imo!

I see this constantly in other forums--people would rather read what other people write about their systems than to take a few minutes to turn something on in their own system and...take it from there. Reading the various and innumerable opinions of other people about their problems that are published on the Internet is a great resource if and when you have already discovered that you have a problem in your system. Third-party opinions can be great aids in that situation!

But, third-party opinions about problems people don't even know if they have, are great time-wasters, imo. Good advice is to see if you have a problem before taking the time to worry about it...;)

This is indeed a great advice :)

But it's not about opinions, there was an issue acknowledged by AMD and it can be fixed via a BIOS update:


And if you are affected and there's no BIOS update the only solution is to disable or use a discrete TPM.

Well, sure...;) We'll have to disagree on the opinion part, I guess....;) What I recall is that it was acknowledged by AMD that some people had reported the problem, not all--or not even most people, IIRC. Yes, if you are affected, your advice is perfectly sound and right on the money, no question.

But a person won't know if he's affected unless he turns it on in his system and tests it himself--anticipating a problem before you know you have one seems like a huge waste of time, imo.

Indeed, I agree with this. Just screaming cause maybe you could face the issue it's not a good idea.
Problem is that this stutter/micro-stutter issue could be easily mistaken with something else wrong.
So I understand if someone could end up thinking it was the fTPM while instead wasn't.

What I recall is that it was acknowledged by AMD that some people had reported the problem, not all--or not even most people
It's in the FAQ: "select AMD Ryzen™ system configurations" means a specific combination of parts, in this case motherboard and CPUs.
Not all CPUs, not in combination with all motherboards. Like winning lotto :)

More than an opinion, like if Raptor Lake is better or not than Zen4, is a matter of wrong or right diagnosis.

Do any of the x570 owners here have any issues with the pch fan? I just found out the hard way when I bought a big chungus of a gpu which now completely covers the pch fan. Every time I game the fan ramps to 2100rpm after a 15min of gameplay. The temp goes to 78°C. Is there a fix for this ****?!

I don't know if that is really going to help... I have a waterblock on both of my x570 Aorus Masters, but you cannot fit a 2+ slot card any longer with a block on the chipset as the fittings will be in the way. Even my 1.5ish slot EVGA 3080Ti Hydro-copper just barely clears the EKWB block on the chipset.

I don't have experience with the X570 Aorus Pro, but if it is anything like the Master, removing the fan/heatsink and replacing the thermal "pad" thing they used with actual paste would probably make a world of difference temperature wise. I would probably suggest you use a longer-lasting paste though... I used a high end (that doesn't last as long) on the chipset and replacing it is a complete nightmare requiring multiple hours of tearing down the loop/removing the motherboard.

F36 - This BIOS is using capsule support, EFIFLASH cannot directly flash this and it will reboot the system to bring up Q-Flash. I haven't tried reverting it, but I would assume it is like F34 and that if you try to downgrade to a previous version it will refuse. So if you flash this and want to revert, be prepared to use Q-Flash+.

Otherwise seems mostly the same, VDDG settings still work, only thing I found was Tweaker menu is unable to add some items from AMD Overclocking now that previously worked in F36F.

Edit Also not sure why they bothered with this since AGESA 1.2.0.8 is already confirmed, but something is better then nothing.
