Asus ROG Strix X570-E Gaming Bios update?

[thomson1969]

Hi,

Does anybody knows when there will be a new bios for this motherboard Asus ROG Strix X570-E Gaming.
The latest one is dated 2019-07-05, an there is nothing about which AGESA its using.

Thermals should not be the problem since i have the cpu cooled by an overkill custom loop..

Using bios ver 2802 as well since it first came out without any problems until today.
I have had 3 random reboots which is beginning to worry me as well.
Thermals are fine.
Even Cinebench does not trigger it, just during the first few minutes of startup.
😞

Is it becoming a habit of Asus to release only beta versions now (previous BIOS was also marked as beta)? As long as I am happy with my current non-beta BIOS (2802), I can't see any reason why I should update to a beta version.

Do you have a 5000 series Ryzen CPU?
If yes, you should care about those updates, since they carry essential functions. And of course they are beta, this is new hardware that has to be supported. Do you want to wait additional 3 months for the launch to get a non-beta BIOS? Or do you want the products to be released on time and BIOS support rolls out the following weeks?
I prefer the 2nd approach.

On topic: just installed the latest BIOS, testing with the 5800X now.

Nope, I don't have Ryzen 5000 CPU (I have placed several pre-orders but the supply is virtually nil but this is another topic for discussion). Still, "beta" label implies to me that there is something unfinished that developers have left in this release, all known bugs are not cleared yet and they cannot guarantee the stability or that there will be no negative consequences to your system if you go ahead with the update. Not that the same is not possible to happen with a non-beta version but in this case the developers put it bluntly into your face: "Do it at your own risk!"
If my current system is stable and performant enough, I don't see why I should take this risk.

The 2816 build is basically the same. Don't bother with it. Also has random shutdowns and reboots.

Tested the 2816 BIOS with the curve optimizer on a 5800X.

Does not much for me.

Yes, i was able to get the +200Mhz boost on the singlecore load (up to 5050Mhz peak) but the all-core frequency still stays at 4650 at best (cinebench R20/R23).
I managed to drop like 4°C by using Negative 10 on all cores with the curve optimizer.
Increased the PPT, TDC and EDC a bit just to give the CPU headroom - nope, still the same, not sure what limit i'm hitting here, there is enough power budget and temps are in the mid 80's (hot as hell - i know, but even with a custom watercooling i can't get much out of that).

But the BIOS is rock solid, i only had freezes and restarts when pushing the curve optimizer over 10 or doing weird stuff with the overclock in general.

Will try to bump the memory frequency higher, let's see if the 5000 is better than my 3900X - that one refused to go higher than 3200 CL16 - minor changes - crash.

But who ever complains - the BIOS is rocksolid.

I've been having double boot problems every couple weeks that I'm pretty sure are the "cold boot bug" for x570 chipsets.

I currently am on 2606 because I find it most stable for me. No random crashes or reboots in a long time.
However when I try to enable DOCP for my trident rgb ram @ 3600mhz fclk 1800mhz x 4 8gb sticks it will boot and run just fine for x amount of time but then one day just randomly do the double reboot into safe mode and all my bios settings get set back to default.

I've seen this reported across all motherboard makers for x570 chips.

Anybody know if they ever corrected this in a particular bios update? or have any other solutions?

rightnow I just manually oc'd my memory with the same settings as DOCP and it boots just fine.. until it doesn't.

Whats the current gold standard for stable bios anyway? I see a lot of people reporting different versions.

Anyone know if the asus stx works with latest bios?

I would also like to know this. I don't get reboots but get failed starts and ram light. (0D code). I reduced SOC to 1.06250 and it happens much less - but annoyingly still happens. I have to just turn it off and it works next time every time.
