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.

R-Bar for me works with my 3900x and 3080 ti, main problem with this bios is that cores don't run above 4272Mhz in my CPU under any setting or condition.
Oh and that random frame drop when using ftpm? Still there.
Please ASUS post some changelogs ffs!
Since August you are releasing a new bios 6 months later and not only it took you half a year to release it, it is FAR worse than the previous one!
What are the tests you're doing ASUS? Flash>power on>works? Ok! Publish?
There is no other explanation for this mess!

I think my next board will be MSI. GPU maaaaybe ASUS but MB definitely NOT!

After a few days running the beta bios my CPU started to go higher, reached 4550 in 1-2 cores and all that without me changing anything from settings etc.
I do not know what to make of this.
Anyway, still way behind the 4650 that I was getting to almost half the cores.
Meanwhile I've upgraded to R9 5900x this Saturday, this chip with the same settings as the 3900x and FMAX enabled was giving me 4950 to 6 cores and all the rest above 4800 to 4900!
I have disabled the FMAX though and I do not see those numbers any more, most of the time all cores are 4450-4600 but in CB23 I am getting 1000 points higher with FMAX off rather than on!
I am curious though to see when am I supposed to get the PBO max frequency that this chip advertise? Cooling is being handled by Noctua NH-D15 Chrome Black on Lian Li O11 XL case with 10 fans

I also keep FMAX off because when it is on, my score in CB20 drops significantly, as you have observed. According to the help for this setting in BIOS, it is supposed to boost the single-core productivity (I.e. when mainly one core is loaded) but my single-core scores in CB also drop and I cannot verify that.

To get higher frequencies on all cores, have you tweaked the Curve Optimizer in the AMD Overclocking settings? I personally get the best results with no stability issues at -20 on all cores (too lazy to configure it individually per core :D).

For me, this beta BIOS works on my 5950X with PBO in AI Tweaker -> PBO -> Curve Optimiser

All Cores -30 except Cores 3,4,5 & 6 -25

PBO Fmax Enchancer Enabled
PBO Enabled
PBO Scaler 1X


Adavanced -> AMD Overclocking -> PBO -> Curve Optimiser

All Cores 0 except Cores 3,4,5 & 6 -25

PBO Advanced
PBO Limits Motherboard
PBO Scaler 10X
CPU Boost Clock Override Disabled

Previous BIOS never worked for me with PBO & Curve Optimiser, but now this beta BIOS is working without random crashes on Win11 setup.

Although multicore score on Cinebench R20 hasn't really improved whilst the single core score improved a little.

Wait a minute! Do you want to tell me that you hold different settings in AI Tweaker -> PBO -> Curve Optimiser and Adavanced -> AMD Overclocking -> PBO -> Curve Optimiser? If yes, what is the point to do that and which Curve Optimiser settings take priority because as far as I can see in the first case you hava All Cores set to -30 and in the other case All cores 0 (except for the special cores)? PBO Scalers are different too.

I can only assume this is a new addition to the new beta BIOS, unless I have a corrupted BIOS during update as the update took longer than the previous BIOS updates.

To be honest I have no idea which takes priority as the previous Curve Optimiser on the older BIOS never worked for me and crashing the system randomly.

So with the new beta BIOS with the new settings, I decided to give it a try again and surprised my win11 system hasn't randomly crashed, still fine tuning and testing the new addition.

Have to say the Cinebench R20 score only improved by a very small margin.

I did try setting the other cores to -5 in Adavanced -> AMD Overclocking -> PBO -> Curve Optimiser, but this crashed the Win11 system randomly like the previous BIOS, but setting the 4 best cores to -25 doesn't seem to effect system crashes yet.

I'm also finetuning the last cores at the moment, but I'm around -23 to -30 at all cores... seems quite stable so far or at least only some more details are needed. I'm wondering how much i can go down with EDC, TDC and PPT 😄

Any reports? how low did you guys go?

I don't have any complaints about v4203 except after a shutdown or reboot the BIOS doesn't always load up properly. I have to physically hit the reset button because (a) the BIOS doesn't post properly or (b) it loads randomly into the BIOS recovery. Hitting the reset button gets my system booted normally every time. It's a hassle though because if I'm remote and have to restart my system, I'm not getting a proper boot until someone hits the reset button. It is a BETA BIOS so I can't be surprised if there are glitches with it. Until 4203, I had never encountered this issue, and I re-did all my BIOS settings from scratch after the update. It may be a particular setting I use is causing the issue...just don't have the time to go through every setting to isolate exactly what is causing the boot-up issues.

I am wondering whether ASUS will release a new non-beta BIOS to at least support the upcoming Ryzen 7 5800X3D soon. :? Other mobo vendors have already done it.

[RyQril]

official version is out 4204. Seems stable so far.

[FreakyPriest]

Just installed 4204 after the version became official today.

This is the second time that a new AGESA version for this board prevents posting with XMP DDR 3600 MHz.

This time I had to raise VDDG IOD Voltage by another 0.005 V. I need the following settings to run my RAM with the XMP profile, now.

VDDCR SOC Voltage [Manual]
VDDCR SOC Voltage Override [1.10000]
VDDG CCD Voltage Control [1.050]
VDDG IOD Voltage Control [1.055]
CLDO VDDP Voltage [1.050]

What are those AGESA guys doing?
Does anyone have similar experiences?
