I have 2 970plus evo's, one is being used for on 12.5.1 and the other on windows 10. I have updated both in the past... they are as of now both on 2B2QEXM7, same as yours. I just checked them earlier today.I have 2 of them (Big Sur/Monterey) and never had an issue. They both came with 2B2QEXM7 and I have never update the firmware.
I did a fresh install of 10.15.7, used @CaseySJ 's opencore files from Hackindrom for the Z490 w/openintel (which uses 0.7.4). I then updated to Monterey 12.2.x. It didn't want to update to 12.5.x. There was no option. I somehow got it to 12.5.1 (don't ask how.. I know it wasn't from the appstore).
Once confirmed all was working I then updated Opencore to 0.8.3. Checked that APFS timeout was set to -1. It was.
In the process of doing all this I moved a bunch of files over to the drive from my old install... several gb's. I did delete alot after... several gb's more.
Trim is shown as supported and as I said before APFS timeout is at -1.
Boot and shutdown times have been a non issue.
Have the 970plus issues been addressed?
