It'd be a plus now looking at SFF or at least smaller chassis cause GPUs are getting larger and it's impossible to fit them in 2-slot or larger height/length limited cases.
What AGESA you on? I noticed my scores are much lower with the more reason updates but when I looked back at my CPU-Z Bench scores from a year ago it was much higher thanks to it boosting higher. I cannot achieve that with anything higher than AGESA 1.2.0.3B.
