Crosshair VI Hero: UEFI build update thread

[Raja]

Directly from Elmor:

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

Test BIOS 0083

Same as 0081 but with "2T" DRAM Mode when using above 2666 DRAM Ratio.

Unfortunately this bios doesn't allow anything for my setup. 1201 is still best bios for my setup.

[looncraz]

Using BIOS 0020 I have achieved 3200 CL14 (The Stilt's safe timings) and 4.1GHz @ 1.4125V (it shows 1.373, but that's not right). I blew past 5000 MT and about 480 ST in the CPU-z benchmark, but it's showing my results from ~4GHz or so.

Previous to this BIOS, I was unable to exceed 3.8GHz with 3200MT RAM - and I couldn't tolerate using 3200 RAM frequency because of the stupid double-posting on cold boot. With that gone, I think I will use 1.375V 4GHz 3200 CL14 for 24/7.

I basically got 200MHz on the CPU and 266MHz on the RAM with this BIOS update. I have nothing bad to say about it - I'm very pleased!

Just Wondering what about AGESA 1072a:

https://overclock3d.net/news/cpu_mainboard/amd_is_set_to_release_agesa_1072a_bios_updates_for_am4_mo...

didn't found any thread regarding list of possible changes, also a few forums said that agesa 1071 has too many problems to came out and AMD release agesa 1072a.

Have somebody info regarding what fix this new agesa version ?

Test BIOS 0070 with AGESA 1.0.7.2a, guys who got stuck at 0d see if this will work better. SIO Temp offset after S3 resume still not fixed. (sha256 ab5c7a5e92dbe453e34d9eda64d78df23a2db0f6928eb9f577 a63869fe7e308b) http://www.mediafire.com/file/avk4aere9e460b7/CROSSHAIR-VI-HERO-ASUS-0070.zip

CPU Ratio adjustments in BIOS does not work

The exact contents of this new AGESA iteration are unknown, though the promised increases to stability are certainly something to look forward too. Previous AGESA updates have improved memory stability, though it is hard to know whether or not this new update will deliver more memory compatibility enhancements.

I had flashed to 3008 and was experiencing problems with P-states using Zenstates not working. Beyond the P-states issue, subsequent testing using manual settings revealed stability issues as well. I then reverted to 0200 and all was functioning fine. Then I mentally reviewed what I had done in flashing to 3008, and realized that I had not cleared the CMOS prior to flashing. A rookie mistake.

I flashed using the proper method to 3008 today, set up my memory with 3466 MHz Stilt settings, and Zenstates to 3.95 GHz (which has been my "Go to" configuration for some time). Ran some testing to stress the System/CPU, and MemTest64 to look for errors. Everything is good to go.

Posted this as a reminder to both new folk and the experienced, don't forget to clear that CMOS! It can prevent many of the issues people post each time a new Bios version comes out.

Flashed back today to 1701 deu to unstableness of 3008.
Bios update looks verry promising can't wait for the stable release!!!

I cant go gack to 1701.

This is first time im getting " this is not a proper bios." error.

CMOS cleared -> fat32 usb with no file inside excapr .cap file

Have you tried USB Bios Flashback method after renaming the 1701 file with BRenamer?

[Eremita]

Have tried both these latest beta BIOSes, both gives blue screens on windows 10 within first 30 minutes, when 1701 works fine except that cold boot bug.

Since 1701 is older BIOS, you need to update it via USB BIOS Flashback method.

No need to use that BRenamer, just rename cap-file to C6H.cap (for non-WIFI/non-Extreme -version).
