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

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

You can try to lower the voltage and have lower temp, but it depends on your CPU. Not all CPU created equal.
And I dont see anywhere to have official 1501; if you dont see a version bump, you can pretty much assume they are the same unless noted.


It looks like their is in fact a new 1501 bios posted to the U.S. Asus site but it is kind of hidden. I'm not sure if it identical to the beta one and I haven't installed it yet. I will let one of you guys be the guini pig because my system is running great and I don't want to risk it.:)66724

Karimento, is this the same bios that you have installed?

"improve overclockability" - for real ASUS?

If it is anything like the 1501 beta, I'm going to call bullcrap on that. Every BIOS after the 9945 has not lived up to how stable my system was and the overclock it reached. The 9920 wasn't bad but became very unstable for me after a few days of use.

Edit: The 1501 BIOS does not show up when the OS selected is Win 10 64bit and Win 8.1 64bit. It's a BIOS though so the OS shouldn't actually matter unless there are some unlisted compatibility issues that Asus isn't sharing.

Both the beta and official release of 1501 is unstable at 3.8GHz for me. Same settings as I used in 1403 and games blue screen or crash to desktop. I'm debating going back to 1403.

Yes. I tried bios version 1501 and went back to version 1403 because of the issues.

Thanks. I'm glad a held off as it seems that so far everyone who has tried the new 1501 has had issues with it. I am very happy with 1403 and with my current bios settings I have solved the two big issues I was having. On my Ryzen 7 1700X running at 3800 MHz I am no longer having a slow boot problem and my G Skill Flare-X RAM overclock is holding its 3200 MHz speed and 14-14-14-34 timings after booting. Before the boot time seemed way too slow and for some reason my RAM would revert to 2400 MHz and 16-16-16-? timings. It would do this after a cold boot. The only thing is. I am not exactly sure which settings that I changed in my bios has solved these issues.:)

Comparing to 1403.

And I solved it now neva problema. I forgot the set same q fan control while i was using on 1403.

I always follow ASUS-US website. Because i guess all other countries (like Turkey) gets their update later. (bec of language translation i guess)

Can any one tell me why my AMD RyZen Power Plan written in Russian like i mentioned in my previous post please ?

I'm running 1501, no issues other than an occasional cold boot. I have my 1700 running at 39.25 GHz, 1.34v and Samsung b-die memory at 3333 with super tight timings, 14-14-14-28-42, 1.375v, SOC@ .98v. Cinebench says my single threaded performance is on par with a broadwell at 4.4Ghz and hits 1770ish multithreaded. If it's randomly crashing, you either need to crank voltage, increase LLC to level 4, possibly 5, or just drop your overclock a bit. I can run my cpu at 4ghz, but it takes over 1.45v to do so, even 3.95ghz is not really manageable. The trick with ryzen is to find the best stable OC you can get without having to crank voltage much past 1.35. The minimal performance increase does not justify all the extra heat and power draw. Getting your ram running as fast and as tight as possible is a bigger bump than a small bump in CPU frequency.

I swapped my CH6 out for a Asrock Taichi, it's voltage is stupidly more stable than the CH6, but even with the super stable voltage I couldn't get as much out of my CPU and RAM as I can on this CH6, so I went back. Honestly I'm surprised they have released as many bios updates for this as they have, they have a bazillion motherboards, it seems they have spent a fair amount of time working on this one and are continuing to do so. While this board is still not ideal, take a look at all the competitor boards and you'll see complaints everywhere. This isn't really an Asus problem as much as it is an AM4/AMD problem in my opinion. Regardless it's possible to get this thing stable and running great, you just have to work at it.

I flashed 9920...still crashes. Luckily there are cash dumps. This is the error:


WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR!

I searched a bit online and most people say that disabling CPU overclocking solves that. Thing is, I want the extra performance (from 3.00 to 4.00 Ghz there is quite a gap). CPU voltage is 1.375 and it is stable with temps between 55-65 C.

The observations I have made so far:
1) It started happening after BIOS 1201 (so it is clearly bios related - doesn't have to do with CPU cooler pressure)
2)Happens mostly during gaming and very rarely while surfing, idling etc....
3)Happens a lot more frequently when the XMP 3200 profile is active but it can happen with just about every memory setting combination as well.
4)Happens about 4/10 times I try to load FIFA 17 (as soon as the exe is loaded into the memory). If it happens once and I try to open FIFA again after the restart without going in the bios it has a much higher chance to happen again (crashed on that spot 4 times in a a row once - so 4 restarts just to open a game :mad: ) GTA V also makes it happen usually during gameplay.

Any comments?

I could be wrong but that whea uncorrectable error could be a faulty cpu look in event viewer and see if there are any whea loger errors or warnings in there if there is then the cpu has a problem. i had one do that to me and amd replaced it
