C6H Test BIOS 0020 with AGESA 1007 (405200c4e299c1eed9a0044edec9aba51f37cee1d70caabe40b9485b0604521a)

In order to get back to an older version after flashing, you have to use USB BIOS Flashback.

Let me know how it works for you, especially regarding cold boot issues. Any confirmed bugs in the bug report form please




Beta BIOS 1501

* Workaround for some CPUs stuck at 22x ratio if using override voltage
* Fixes PCIEX4 bandwidth setting getting lost after power is removed
* Same DRAM boot behavior as 1403 (no cold boot fix)
* Same DRAM profiles as in 9920
* Still has the Vcore value issue when booting with Offset Mode and switching to Manual Mode

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



C6H beta UEFI 1403

* Fixed W_PUMP and AIO_PUMP speeds during POST
* Fixed Fan tuning sometimes failing
* Fixed a few issues with AMD USB3.1 ports
* Some tuning on DRAM settings, let us know how they work for you. tRDRD_Sc is still at 5 above 3500 MHz as it helps with stability. For performance you want to force this to 1. We'll consider changing this in future releases as the performance impact can be quite noticeable in certain applications.

An update on DRAM Boot Voltage, currently it should be 1.35V by default if the DRAM Voltage is changed. So if you're setting DRAM Voltage to above 1.35V, you might want to sync this setting. Additionally there might be scenarios where you will have better luck by syncing DRAM Boot Voltage to DRAM Voltage even at lower values.




AGESA 1006 RC4 official UEFI 1401

Just tested quickly 3600 memory and cold booting, seems good but you guys are going to have to help me test this before we have a judgement. Seems CPU temp reading from SIO now has -20*C offset for XFR enabled CPUs.





UEFI build 1107





Older test builds:


Test BIOS 0079

Test BIOS with new AGESA 1004a, with a couple of bugfixes. Up to 5% performance increases in specific applications. Also has P-state overclocking working with BCLK increase. If you want to keep C-states, make sure to set Advanced\AMD CBS\Zen Common Options\Global C-state Control = Enabled. There are two new settings under AMD CBS\UMC Common Options\DDR4 Common Options\ you might want to take a look at, Fail_CNT and ProcODT. Fail_CNT decides how many times to retry when DRAM training fails (F9 -> 0d), default is now 1. ProcODT can help improve your DRAM overclocking. There's a setting available also on previous BIOSes under AMD CBS\UMC Common Options\DRAM Memory Mapping named BankGroupSwap. If you have 2x Single-Rank modules you can try setting this to Disabled and you might see some performance boost in certain applications.

Test BIOS 0081

Same as 0079 but has ProcODT default = 53.3 ohm

Test BIOS 0082

Same as 0081 but with a DRAM compability patch for the below part numbers

Hello, I am new here. Though I have been my own system since the days of AMD K6 (I still have my I, II, and III), I have very little OCing experience. I am hopping someone can point me in the right direction with my issues.

First let me give you my setup:

C6H with 1800X
Stryx RX480 O8G
NVMe OCZ RD400 512 GB (Boot Drive)
G.Skill Tridenz RGB F4-3200C16Q-32CTZR I know not on QVL. Aida64 reads these as F4-3200C16D-GTZR (8GB per stick Single-rank Hynix SK memory) Tried with both channels and just one channel.
1 TB WD-Black X4 (one used as user data drive)( other 3 blank for now and currently not installed.)
2 TB WD-Black X1 (Boot Drive Back-up images)
6 TB WD-Black X1 (media files for a PLEX video server)
Pioneer BLUray reader/writer Drive with M-DISK support on QVL
Kraken X-62 AIO
OCZ ZX-1000 PWS Also not on QVL
Also have tried with a Corsair AX1200i
QNAP CLOUD/NAS
CPU Voltage on Auto
DDR4 timings 16,18,18,18,38 1.35 V and tried at 1.365 Volts as AIda64, AI Suite3 reported that the actual voltage was 0.075 lower that setting i bios.
Multiplier at 36-39
BCLK at 100-103
SOC at auto,tried manually setting to 1.0, 1.05, 1.15

I have used all of the official and beta BIOS since I got my board. including the 0038 that is no longer posted in the forums. Aall BIOSflashes have been done through the Flashback feature as I was afraid that it would rest during as EZFLASH 3 attempt in BIOS.

I have 2 PCIe 1x cards. One a dual Gigabit LAN card the other is an USB 3.0 Expansion card used to gain additional internal 19-pin header. Both worked on my CrossHair V Formula-Z/9590 system I am replacing. The motherboard 1x and 4x slots do not recognize these and they are only recognized if placed in PCIe 2_8 so right now they are not in the system. I eventually want to settup a crossfire so I really need to get the other slots to work o these.

Tried the D.O.C.P. profiles but on the betas these are giving me really weird timings and BCLK settings. so I am not using this feature with the BETAs. I am just manually setting the timings, BCLK, multipliers and voltages on these BIOS.

On 0902 Bios OCd at 4.02 GHz and RAM running at 2666 with all 4 dimms for 48Hrs straight without issues. (6 hrs of this time it was constant stress tests) Then on the 3rd day restarted the system due to installation of new GPU drivers. After the restart it ran fine for another about 2 days then started getting random restarts with out a BSOD. Tried rolling back to the original driver had no effect. The issue would progressively get worse happening more frequently until I could not even boot into BIOS fo than a few seconds before restart. Once BIOS 1002 came out I upgraded and system became stable and was able to get back to the same OC but could only achieve 2400 MHZ on memory. ( Even with on one channel populates.) (On the PRIME X370-Pro, that I bought while waiting on the the C6H to arrive from back-order at amazon, I had all 4 working at the 2933 setting with no issues at all on the 0511 BIOS)

About 3 days later same issue again with no changes to software or hardware. Again issue got progressively more frequent. Clearing BIOS and resetting the values did nothing. Then switched to 0079 back stable at eh same speeds for 3 days or so. then issue repeats.

With each time switching to a new BIOS. Once I got to 0083 and the issue returned I tried flasing back to 0082 again everything calmed down only to come back a few days later. I am pressing F5 and exitting BIOS with each flash before making any changes to BIOS values.

It then started telling that my OC failed. I switched everything to Auto no OC of boosted Memory speed. Again it tells me OC failed. figured it was the XFR. Set multiplier to 36 BCLK to 100 and Ram to 2133 (No OC). It still told me OC failed. I did oticed that in AIda64 and Ryzen Aster that the Memory timings BCLK and Multipliers are changing from what they are set to in BIOS. Also noticed that the CPU V which has always read a little over 1.4 is now reading at 1.99 and 1.77 Volts

Again I re-flashed the BIOS to 0083 instantly the problem goes away for a few days.

Secondly If I have the REAR IO, CHIP-SET, GPU, or memory LEDS turned on the Score in Cinebench R15 drops by more that 50% on the FPS. Weird. Is this just me or is this suppose to happen?

Anyway I am afraid that I am going to flash my BIOS two many times. Is there anything I can change in the BIOS to resolve this it is really weird. I am thinking maybe the CMOS battery is bad. I have removed the board from the case to see if maybe the board was shorting somehow. This was a fresh install of Windows 10 and I even retried a complete fresh reinstall of the OS with no change to what was happening.

Frankly, I really do not know what half of these settings in the BIOS even DO. I just want to get it stable for more that 2 to 3 days right now.

Any Ideas any body could give me would be greatly appreciated. And If somebody knows where I can find out more information about the hundreds of settings listed in the BiOS could you please let me know. Thanks in advance.

33GB/s is pretty slow for 3200MHz ram. Should be between 40-45GB/s... Linux fault?

Hello

Slow? GSAT is a memory testing program not a benchmark. The speeds shown are while testing the memory compared to just copying/moving data as with a benchmark. 4500MB/s in GSAT requires quad channel memory.

Any luck with 2x16GB gskill 3200mhz ram 14c ? I am still stuck st 2666 and with help of BClk I can do 2799 max. I tried lowering timing to 18,16,16,16,36 as suggested but no good for me.*

there are too many options and I have no clue what they do. Menu under mem training.*
* I do have a question. There is a 8pin and 4pin connector on board. I am only using 8pin. 4pin is not connected. Does it have anything to do with my ram speed struggle ? *

I've read that some users are not plugging in the 4 pin cpu. I personally have but that has very little to do with ram comparability. I'm running at 3200mhz oc and have oc to 3466 mhz + but that's due in part the ram being supported, g.skill flare x. I wouldn't worry too much because it's possible that your ram would be supported in the next month or two. With my other 3 sets or ram, f4-3200c16q-32gtzr, f4-3200c16d-16gtz & cmd16gx4m2b3200c16 those are only able to oc to 2666 with the latest bios. It's a wide spread problem due to early adaption but should be ironed out in the near future. The difference from 2666 to 3200 theoretically shouldnt be that big of a difference but for me 3200mhz brought more stable frames while playing andromeda on the ryzen platform.

* I forgot to mention that there are a few youtube videos about training ram in the ch6 bios but i personally wouldn't mess with them if you're not 100% sure what every setting means. Yes you could give it a go and if your system hangs, you could always flash cmos and or flash your bios. Spending an additional $170+ for the flare x ram has helped but i litterally have 3 sets of perfectly good ram sitting here doing nothing. I would suggest waiting until the end of may to see if your ram set is supported. If not, get the flare x set. 64082

Oh ok. If it will supported later then I will be happy. I don't want to get stuck with 2666 for ever. I was thinking of gong to ASRock board as many with my same ram successfully running at 3200mhz. It's big deal for me as I only use this pc for gaming and VM and speed makes big difference for me **

To stand a chance of DDR4-3200, you need to set ProcODT manually. It can take some time to tune. My 32GB GSKill kit (2x16GB) needs 80 ohms. Set this way, the board POSTs consistently.

Thanks for the reply Raja really appreciate that. If you can be more specific like which setting and what values. It will make it easy. Do post some screenshots and value that think will work well is greatly appreciated **

With BIOS version 0083 memory run stable @1800MHz
