Beta BIOS 3008 for C6H/C6HWIFI/C6E:

AGESA 1.0.7.1, temperature offset fixed after S3 resume, GPU Post function fixed, 0d with some GPUs fixed

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

After using 9920 BIOS couple of days, I can clearly say that this is terrible and dangerous version.

1- My CPU temps are low and high on idle mode, you never know why it's going up or down.

2- I disabled/enabled SenseMiSkew. Both are same. Nothing happened, difference is almost none.

3- This morning my CPU temp was showing 28 Celcius. Which I surprised to see. I worked a lot today, after 12 hours I see that my temp is still showing 28 Celcius. That was weird. I opened AIDA Stress test. Guess what? My CPU is still 28 Celcius. It just stuck at there. Dangerous! No matter what you do, BIOS thinks it 28 Celcius and there is no alert of heating.

I checked ASUS website for BIOS, 9920 isn't even listed at there. I don't understand why.

Is it safe to go back BIOS 1403?

9920 is an untested bios version. It clearly says UNTESTED which you obviously would have seen when you downloaded it. I've been running 9920 and haven't had a single issue with it and it fixed the multiplier bug I had. Temps are within reason after setting SenseMi offset as stated in 9920 release notes.

Where does it say UNTESTED exactly? First post doesn't say anything about it.

Try finding a preset voltage for vddp.

I spend all day working timings etc. I had a similar issue as in the fan would lock to maximum speed when it hit a bad timing set up. This would only clear if I found a good setting to reboot on or powered down for a few mins. Reboots did not clear it if it was still trying to boot with the bad settings. It was like a switch was stuck somewhere telling it to keep fans on high speed.

There are numerous posts regarding vddp being set on a preset that has improved stability. For me I found 0.885v to be ideal. This persisted though multiple memory speeds. But more so I never got anymore fan lock up. Even on bad settings.

The post I have read said .9v to 1.0v max. A low voltage is said to have better results. At 0.870v I found I got boot loop errors. The stilt says 0.85-0.885 can help with memory benching problems.

is there a updated bios for the C6H (WIFI AC) the board wont let me use the bios posted in the beginning of this thread.
thank you

C6H (wifi ac) - 1800x - g.skill flare x 3200 phase change cooling - currently on 1403 - i can not set (post) @ 3200 xmp voltage and temp readings are incorrect getting the 0d post code

beta is for the non wifi version of the crosshair.. for the wifi ac version you have Asus only puts out the official bios .sorry but no beta for you

Sorry for all the posts.

I am on 9920 beta. Running 3600, which actually runs better for me than 3466, my previous. I would love an opinion on mistakes I have made. All the timings are set manually. I took some info from gupsterg's overclock.net forum post. A lot of trial and error. This still needs a longer test. But it boots 100% without fails. Stress tests in prime95 and aida64 came back ok. I will set it up for a Memtest86 after posting here.

Temps are still a bit spikey while idling (50-58c). I am running 3850MHz CPU, which should have CPU boost disabled. I have it set to disabled anyways. Is there a chance it is still kicking in for windows process requests? A long shot, but I cant think of another reason why I am seeing spikes.

The system is also hotter than 1403, but now I see how much faster than 1403 it is. This is not surprising.

My voltages are vddp set to 0.85, CPU set to offset +0.03750, SOC set to offset +0.05000 and dram on auto (1.35v).
