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

I am on bios 1401 beta and all works fine here sticking with this one for now.

[whiskey-foxtrot]

Does anyone here have any luck with 2x16GB Crucial Ballistix (Ble2k16g4d32aeea)? I'm trying to help a friend out with just about everything I can think of. This memory surprisingly works fine on a Gigabyte AB350 Gaming board, but whatever we've tried on the C6H, no luck.

Tried timings of 16-18-18-18-36-73, set voltage to 1.35, tried manual procODT settings nothing. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Also tried BIOS 1403 and now 1501.

First all i doubt that kit is single ranked, on dual ranked config is hard to achive high mems speed, try with auto latencys and 3200mhz at 1.4v

let the cpu stock to reduce fails probabilities...

Pd.: can you check if wol is working on that CH6?

try these settings I am using from the below link.. whats the module model number and whats the stock speed ?

Thank you @Saikamaldoss I'll take a look at it and pass it on. So far I see only G.Skill related info on that link. I personally only use G.Skill and I've had zero issues with it - Even their dual ranked kits (yes I get all of G.Skills memory for internal review so I've literally tried them all).

As for my friends memory, it's Crucial Ballistix (2x16GB) (Ble2k16g4d32aeea) - 3200MHz rated with the timings posted earlier (timings were copied from one of his Gigabyte AB350 or MSI boards - they both work fine there).

Does 1501 have that "Evaluation Version" text when booting?

Hey I figured I would answer your question for you. 1401, and 1403 both had that Evaluated Version in the Text on Bootup, which pissed me off, because Especially with 1401 and 1403, they were Official Bios', so I was always Yelling "No Its Not" at my TV on Boot, LOL!

I am happy to report that I believe starting with 9920 (Which was a Beta Bios so you figured it would have it) The Evaluated Version Text Disappeared, and it also DOES NOT appear in 1501, at least for me. So hopefully that answers your questions.

I See alot of people seem to have different issues with 1501, for me I thought it was the best BIOS to date, and I have very few problems with it. I just wish they would address this Fan Controller issue that a number of us our having...

[ded99]

@ MattTheTech

Ok, yes that answered my question. I was asking because I downloaded the BIOS from ASUS site, which shouldn't have beta BIOS downloads.
Only now after some week or two, I started thinking wait really? Because I'm using the 1501, successfully flashed and working - and I'm seeing that annoying text, also when posting I never see the real CPU speed, it's has always been that 3000MHz, RAM is only showing correct (I never use boot logos).

I'm running my rig maxed out. With the 1201 Bios and D.O.C.P (4) setting it allowed for 64Gig of RAM (4x16 Gig Sticks) to run at 3199 which is only 1 point below the advertised 3200 of the RAM. I don't care if you change the number but please make it an option again. See my specs for exact RAM I achieved this on.

I'd love to see whatever those settings were exactly in every form re-added the next BIOS and document it as a 4 Stick OC.

The 1201 BIOS was the only BIOS I've been able to achieve this without touching anything else in BIOS. I'd only select the D.O.C.P (4) and bingo all was golden. This has now been broken with every version since.

4 sticks of RAM profiles would be very welcome as well. 4x8GB and 4X16GB D.O.C.P's would be very nice.
