BIOS updates for AM4 motherboards

Supposedly AGESA 1.0.0.7 is already in beta, but I'm guessing it will be a while before motherboard manufacturers begin to push it. They're probably busy with X299 and X399 at the moment.

asrock just released a new agesa 1.0.0.6a bios for the taichi, pro gaming, k4, gaming X boards (bios v 3.00). nothing for the sli/ac yet. there's far to many b350 boards for me to check but the few i did don't have the update yet either.

looks like they changed the cpu temp reading so it's pulling from the tCTL instead of the sensor under the cpu socket so you'll have to redo any fan profile settings.

also looks like at least one person was able to get DDR4 3600 to work @ 1.375v on the taichi using corsair vengeance LPX 3600 18-19-19-39-58.

Finally got around to installing this over the weekend. After a long wait, I am finally running my 3200 Mhz RAM at 3200!! (prev was stuck at 2666)

Couple odd things I noticed, ran multiple benchmarks at 3.9/3200 and saw decreases in performance from 3.9/2666. Memory bandwidth increased but everything else decreased. Tried 4.0/3200 and everything went back up to where I was expecting. I prefer to run at 3.9 because the voltage to run at 4.0 is higher than I would like (1.45v), but guess I will scrap that plan.

Cinebench R15: 1770

I reset everything and started over and now am getting expected numbers at 3.9/3200. Not sure what was going on before...

I'm still having issues with my AX370-Gaming K7 with bios F4 agesa 1.0.0.6 , where is I make any changes to the memory away from native 2133Mhz. I cannot apply any overclock to my cpu, it will just sit 2.2Ghz. I've tried Vcore, Vsoc, setting Vdram to 1.35v, etc

Anyone have any suggestions?

The same thing happens in MSI X370 Titanium to some users like me. Nobody seems to be addressing it. It might be an AMD agesa code issue. The only way around it is using thee gameboost function in MSI's bios. That raises the cpu speed on my 1800X to $.) GHZ, which is to high for me. Then I exit bios post again into the bios and I can then adjust the cpu multiplier. But I must keep the game boost setting in bios active or the machine will NOT post at my chosen cpu multiplier.
 
Just a bump, but the new beta BIOS for the MSI Tomahawk gives me fast boot times instead of the repeated tests before booting.
 
https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?91766-Crosshair-VI-Hero-UEFI-build-1501

UEFI build 9920 for the C6H:

* Improved DRAM cold boot, results in slightly longer POST time
* Fix for CPU Ratio stuck at 22x on some CPUs when using Vcore override/offset
* SenseMi Skew is now Disabled by default. If you want to return to previous behavior set SenseMi Skew = Enabled and Offset = 272.
* Added DRAM profiles for Samsung B-based DIMMs with tuned subtimings, including The Stilt's settings

A bios different from the 1501 listed. http://www.mediafire.com/file/g108edb002b08h2/CROSSHAIR-VI-HERO-ASUS-9920.zip

The bios ram timings are somewhat interesting (also featured in 1501) if you have a low latency 3200 or 3600 G.skill kit (some other manufacturers have Samsung B die as well) allows you better performance on certain benchmarks even at default 1.35V

Asus Prime B350M-A, there is now 0806 if you look under "Windows 8.1 64bit" or "Other OS".
 
I edited 0806 for Asus Prime B350M-A to expose the CBS options and Zen common options, holler if you want a copy
 
Apparently the 1501 BIOS for ROG Crosshair Hero VI is now official. Removed betas and added the link
 
New round of gigabyte bioses released.
For my x370 k5 specifically, the F4 bios is out, but missing from all but the china mirror.
  1. Fix P2-state hanged issue while changing CPU Vcore of Ryzen 3
  2. Improve DDR compatibility
Click to expand...

Core stability seems much better than F2, F3, as I can get 3.85GHz (102 x 37.75) to boot without touching vcore/vsoc, and passing memtest86 with just a slight vsoc bump (otherwise core 3 would fail consistently).

XMP works with my kit now, too. That wasn't a huge deal, as I could key in pretty aggressive timing without it, but nice to have the option.

Just need to test under a real load now.
 
New updates for ASRock boards:

Gigabyte gaming 5 and k7 have a critical update for anyone who was using the version immediately prior, which fixes dynamic voltage adjustment starting at 1.55V for vcore.

The previous version has been pulled from the website and server.

basically this bios is just so you can choose which temp sensor you want to use for your fan curve profiles since the 3.00 update changed the default to the internal cpu sensor i believe it was which messed up the profiles for people running X series cpu's due to +20C offset.
 
Gaming 5!

The gaming K5, I haven't seen anything on the forums except "someone else said/reported", and I've not seen that person's post yet. I know my board is running fine with the latest bios (F4--an F5 was never released for the K5, F4 has the same release notes however), but that may not be the case for everyone.
 
I don't think I'm ever getting 3200 out of my RAM lol. Kinda toying with the idea of getting a new board, an X370, I only paid $80 for the Tomahawk so its not really that big of a deal.

changing to x370 won't make a difference.. if you're not hitting it on b350 and you have the aegas 1.0.0.6/a update that's where you'll be until a new revision is released.. supposedly there is a 1.0.0.7 revision but if and when it gets released who knows but hopefully around the time when the NVME update happens for TR.

I have the same board and Corsair LPX 3200 with Hynix chips. You can get 3200 on Ram but Samsung B-die ram is your best bet. 2933 is most stable for me but currently running at 3066.

Its not the ram that's killing me, ever since bios 1.4 it doesn't like to post without the fun 3 beeps every damn time.

I'm at 2933 no prob I'm sure if I actually set and messed with every single setting I might get there but yeah lol.

Thanks for the bump Pieter. I noticed a new beta for my MSI B350 tomahawk board also, 1.9.
On a lighter note:
A little help? Is this chart correct now? Juan? Bueller?
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/market_share.html
It's a glitch, or joke, disregard.
Edit I noticed in the comments section of WCCFtech story about R5 1600/1600X purchasers receiving 8 core parts that the graph had skewed wildly. It has since begun to correct.

RaptormanUSMC posted in the thread where I complain about the motherboard not working well. I got to say that the 1701 bios is really fast coming from 9920.
The 6 core product having 8 does not surprise me they were saying good yields in the end that is bound to happen.
 
It is AGESA 1071:

"Version 32032017/11/177.62 MBytes

TUF B350M-PLUS GAMING BIOS 3203
Update to AGESA 1071 for new upcoming processors"
 
Looks like another C6H Beta BIOS is available! I'm not sure if this requires an EZ Flashback if the 0020 Beta BIOS running on AGESA 1.0.7.2a, haven't attempted it yet myself.

AGESA 1.0.7.2a has bugs is reason ASUS went back to 1.0.7.1 - 3008 for C6H is working like a champ. It also has the cold boot start fix in it which should help those having that issue. Running at 4ghz stress testing - no issues so far.

Funny enough Gigabyte has the opposite opinion:

http://forum.gigabyte.us/post/14561/thread
We skipped an AGESA (1071) because we felt it was too buggy for even BETA... Good news is new new AGESA/BIOS (1072a) ETA is Friday.
