I was unable to use F7 to boot it but it worked when i booted the USB drive from the BIOS. The fan seems to be completely off now when booting. I did not verify what happens under load yet.

Can you tell us what was chamged with this update?

I'm not quite sure why the F7 instructions are different with this, but I think it's just meant to use F7 in the normal way to get to the boot screen, as in pressing the power button to start the unit, then either pressing and holding or repeatedly tapping the F7 button until the boot screen appears. I usually do the latter.

Since you've already performed this flashing, and because I get REALLY nervous about BIOS flashing of any kind, after the process is complete and the unit shuts down, do you remove the USB flash drive and then start the unit in the normal fashion?

I've actually not had any problems with the fan in my R5 5600U AM06 Pro, so I don't know if I'm even going to do this, but I figured I'd ask, just in case.

I remember a BIOS flash I did last year in which I got stuck, as the instructions showed how to flash the BIOS, but then stopped there, not giving any instruction on what you were supposed to do after the flashing was complete. I didn't know if it was supposed to shut down, restart on its own or if I was supposed to do something. After waiting about fifteen minutes I pressed and held the power button to force a shutdown. Thankfully, it worked. But my heart was still racing, praying I didn't brick the unit by doing the wrong thing.

When the CPU is fully loaded, the speed will increase.
