Moar VSOC, and more power limitEvery time I try and do expo, all my benchmarks get lower.

Moar VSOC, and more power limitEvery time I try and do expo, all my benchmarks get lower.
Tried this today, the BIOS update and DRAM training process remain tests of patience: the update process itself went fairly smooth and was able to apply the saved settings on usb drive, but ram training on expo took 2-3x longer than previously and initially kept going into a boot loop, then a window .efi missing file error on boot (didn't like that one bit), finally rebooted again where it seemed to train ram again for 2 mins, then threw the error again so I selected recovery but thankfully it just rebooted to regular windows this time around. Wtf is the process so arduous still (and one reason I have reduced updates to once in 6 months on my end)? And having to RMA memory or SSDs in this environment also means placing outrageous holds on credit cards for 'current market value' while the process plays out (should you need it), not fun...
reset the bios to optimized defaults and no settings import from prev versions on this one due to the agesa update.https://rog.asus.com/us/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-x670e-e-gaming-wifi-model/helpdesk_bios/

1. Updated AGESA ComboAM5 PI 1.3.0.1b Patch A to support the GNR Transparent Secure Memory Encryption (TSME) feature.
2. Enhanced memory performance, system stability, and compatibility with CXMT memory chips.
IIRC: memory tuning is a bit tougher in general, after the late spring/summer updates which change how bank refreshing works by default. It plugs a security hole. But...means certain sub-timings are either no longer valid or a lot more sensitive, etc.Man.. I have pure problems with tuning when I run the latest. I get all kind of problems running anything written in the last year lol. I am back to 1.2.0.3a and it is smooth sailing.
I am only running this version because I upgraded from my 7800X3D to a 9950X3D and this was the earliest bios that supported it.. Glad I did not get X3D2.
I had this problem running some early hi-po ddr3 on my R3F. Newer bios versions were just problem after problem. Old bios, could overclock with 3 different kits of ram lol.
