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

Rma complete on my original board. On receiving a brand new board and cpu I installed 1107. Temps running off the clock towards 90. Checked thermal paste etc. I will try 1106 see if it helps. I wasn't sure if I had a dodgy cooler until I read the post above this one. Good luck fixing the problem.


Sorry I couldn't give more info, I was typing on an ipad. I have tried 902,1102 and 1107 now. All are showing extreme temps 90 was where I stopped it. this was sitting in the bios only. with no OS loaded. Since 902 is also showing high temps, I am asking for advice.

Does 902 revision onwards still display temps that are 20 degrees higher than reality?

what sort of temp should I be seeing in the bios screen?

not that high im afraid my bios shows 20%+ temps at 54-57 with a 4ghz OC (REALLY 34-37) im on bios 1002, your temps clearly indicate tha something is not right

I truly doubt if your temp problem is BIOS related......I have tried all of the available BIOS to include betas and 1107 is the most stable to date.....

No it is not revision related since 3 revisions gave the same result. I changed the thermal paste and reseated the cooler. What I need is info for what is normal results, so I have something' to chew on. Since there is discrepancies encies with actual running temps with ryzen. I need to know what I should be seeing.

What cooler are you using? Either way, at the bios screen it shouldn't be much above ambient. If these chips get about 75°C and stay there for a minute, they will shut down. At least that's what I've read and experienced myself. Since getting the artic water cooler 240, my temps never get above 54. With the stock cooler and running the gpu at 100% (folding at home) the hot air from the gpu was being blown on the cpu and it would get to 75 and shut down. Is your gpu running hot and doing this too?
The discrepencies I think you are referring to are related to the 1700x and 1800x that were reporting 20 degrees hotter. I believe the newest version of softwares report the real temperature now though. I can't confirm, my chip is the 1700 (non x) and has always reported the real temp

Corsair 110i
gpu fan isn't running at all. This is purely the bios screen. My 6700k levels around 40 and most cpus sit around 45.

I will be back home from work in a couple of hours. I will work at it then.

I think the the cooler is fine. And as I said I have already had replaced the thermal paste just in case it was a bad seat.

The only thing I can think is of now is that the cooler may not mate flat with the cpu.

I will feed back in a bit.

Thanks for for the response.

sounds like to me ur cpu cooler aint sitting right. so i take it u have got the am4 bracket from corsair for the 110i ? also 1 thing i found using the Alphacool CPU block is that u find the screws seem to screw in a long way aswell so also make sure ur screws for h110i are fully done up. as i am using the CH6 running Ryzen 7 1700X @3.90ghz and my idle temp is mid 20's and under load around i think around 52'C without check and running memory @2666 @1.35V with timings of 14-13-13-13-30

Thanks for the help from everyone who posted in response to this issue.

I found the issue and its running fine now.

The corsair hydro 110i uses a sata connection to drive the water pump. The Sata lead was not inserted correctly at the PSU side. I had a horrible feeling I had over tightened the cooler or something stupid like that.

Eitherway it is not down to bios revision, so ignore any posts from me before this one.

Finally have a ryzen system to play with. I am a happy lad.

Happy with 1107, thanks god asus :3

There are rumors about a microcode update any ETA on when we are getting a beta bios out with this update?
