After some gaming and streaming, I can confirm that I haven't heard anymore pops or clicks, and a lot of performance issues completely disappeared after applying this firmware, like microstutters in the system under load and such. Kinda makes sense, since PciEx is basically the main bus where everything is connected on a modern PC; I guess better late than never.
I'll keep monitored the situation, but I think that at least for me after this firmware update the issue has been finally fixed.
