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.

Interesting, my 3600mhz ram on all auto will only run at 3400mhz before I get the random reboots and this started a few bios ago.

Try to set the timings manually instead of using AUTO for 3600MHz.

Yea I played with that a bit and it needs quite a bit of tweaking, not worth it to me for the very small performance gain. It's still not ok I could run everything at auto (3600mhz) with no issues on the older bios, hopefully Asus is aware and will work on it for the next few bios versions.

Sadly, I'm pretty sure they won't. I was able to run my 3600 MHz kit with XMP profile and no manual tuning until the first BIOS with AGESA 2. Since then I have to use manual memory controller voltages or else I cannot boot my PC.

I contacted ASUS support and they were of no help. They blamed it on my memory kits and asked me to test other memory kits. They did not listen that the issue started exactly after flashing the new BIOS. Why should my memory modules break in the exact same moment? I even tried AMD certified memory modules and of course it behaved the same. I gave up and just used the following voltages since then.

It's worth a try for you, too:

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

Today I decided to update from version 4021 to 4203. After the update the motherboard stopped detecting CPU FAN

I rolled back to 4021,4203 i 4204 no stable

Yea you are probably right and I may give those a try but either way I'm waiting for the fTPM fix bios and maybe then they will have looked at ram stability.

Because they don't give us any other notes other than "improved system stability" we will never know what they are actually changing and gamble every time we update our bios.

1.2.0.5 BIOS had a bunch of issues https://www.tomshardware.com/news/agesa-1205-bugs-amd-ryzen so I guess Asus skipped it and went to 1.2.0.6 but it looks like most of the 1.2.0.5 issues are still present.

Boot bug still there with 4204 BIOS as it was in the 4203 beta. After a restart or shutdown/power on, the BIOS doesn't load until using the reset button. I can tell the BIOS isn't loading properly as the chassis fans don't spin up as per my custom settings. An annoying problem to say the least because if I remotely restart or power cycle my system it's not going to boot unless I'm there to hit the reset button the first time the BIOS fails to load up properly.

I think this BIOS has a menu/logic bug. I had a profile that could not POST anymore. I had another profile with the exact same settings everywhere that was POSTing fine. I was able to reproduce this at least 5 times.

When I switched the profiles and saved the changes summary showed that the setting "Overclock" was changing from Auto to Enabled or vice versa. But this Setting cannot be found anywhere in the menu.

With changes to the newer BIOS never reuse the older profiles from older BIOS.

Both profiles were created from scratch after the update. I think this "Overclock" Setting is not a field that you fill out but something that happens in the background when changing other settings. Somehow this did not trigger in one of my profiles leading to these issues.
