Hi guys, how y’all doin? I was thinking about building a new work/gaming PC in the near future and thought to myself I would go full AMD. Just wanted to ask if there are any modern motherboards in 2025 which support disabling or atleast turning of parts of AMD PSP?

Thx in advance.

    That’s fair enough. I’ll try to find out what these sorts of workloads are for peace of mind.

    As far as I’m aware, this cannot be circumvented, though my information may be out of date. Maybe OpenSIL platforms will eliminate the need for PSP for core init altogether, but this is a ways away for client systems in any case.

    A more pressing concern for me at the time of moving to AM5 was Pluton enablement, though it seems as though Pluton has mostly been abandoned by enterprise customers.

    Interestingly, my client system has an option to enable this in its SBIOS, though it is thankfully disabled by default.
