Unveiled initially as an MSI-exclusive function, the 105W TDP configuration from AMD has been verified as an official attribute. Initially presented by MSI for the Ryzen 7 9700X and the Ryzen 5 9600X, this capacity has now been integrated by Asus and Gigabyte through their latest pre-release BIOS updates.
The 105W TDP option heightens the default TDP for the Ryzen 9700X/9600X CPUs, which typically function at 65W. MSI led the way by integrating this feature into its most recent beta BIOS for numerous 600-series motherboards, launched last month. Nevertheless, Asus and Gigabyte are now matching up by unveiling their own BETA BIOS founded on AGESA 1.2.0.1a for 600-series motherboards.

Asus’s well-known in-house overclocker Safedisk (via Wccftech) has disclosed the download links for the new BETA BIOS for Asus 600-series Crosshair, Strix, TUF, and ProArt boards. Meanwhile, Gigabyte has made the updated BIOS accessible through the product support page. We advise users to be cautious and avoid downloading experimental BIOS versions, instead of waiting for the official release of the new BIOS based on AGESA 1.2.0.2, which will introduce official support for the new 105W TDP mode.
Upcoming 800-series motherboards should come equipped with the new BIOS by default, eliminating the need for users to update manually.
