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

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

So anyone recomends the latest bios? i'm still using Bios 3008 Ram 3200MHZ 16-18-18-38-69 1T

I have always wanted to attempt something like that but I swap cases and sometimes parts a lot. Thanks for also showing us your rig. It is that prospective that can sometimes be overlooked. Most of us here have AIO's or air coolers. By comparison, your custom loops really go above and beyond, which definitely explains your results by comparison, especially sustaining higher voltages at reasonable temperatures.

Correct temps in regards to what? Idle temps were agreed with. What is supplying the load when it reaches ~ 62c? No one was called a liar. Darth Ender asked a simple question and was hosed for it. There was nothing submitted that suggests how stable the rig is. All that can be garnered from what was shared is that all those programs are able to have an open window and a screen shot taken along with successfully submitting information to obtain a validation that it held together long enough to obtain the validation. That is it. There was no information shared about what temp is reached while stressing the cpu utilizing avx. It is a nice share to see what is possible but nothing more. Any question is met with the same general response...I'm not going to offer any kind of assistance. That has been the pattern so far.

if your smart enough to click this link https://valid.x86.fr/p7k5fj you will see what a load temp on this cpu looks like
and yes ....i do not offer any more advice to things ...because when i do ...i get flamed for it or i get some dick acting like my post and scores are a lie...... i have posted tweaking tips and tricks and plenty of them .....and every time i get $hit talked ....so yeah man ....i dont care about peoples problems here ......as i said before ......i only post so those at ASUS who do work on making this better can see ...not every one with a Ryzen is having issues! .....my rig is a power house and there is reason for it! but no one wants to listen or admit ...hey this guy may know more then me...or us!... and actually listen to what i have to say.....and you to and any one else that is bashed or $hit talked to is bound to say screw it and just give up on the idiots of this world who can't admit they need to shut the hell up and learn something!!! am i a little salty ...damn strait .....i got sick of the bull crap a long time ago.....so while every one sites around and cry's and wines about how bad there ryzen sucks ....im smiling from ear to ear ....this is by far the fastest ever and best rig ive built for myself in a long time!!! ......every person in this forum needs to learn how to speak to and with some one with some damn RESPECT if they think your going to get any from me!! and thats the way it is jack....don't like it .....i don't care......feed up! we'll so am i....... i post for ELMOR and RAJA to see what im doing and how my rigs running....... im not here to make your PC"S RUN BETTER i tried that and wuz told i don't know what im talking bout....hmmmmmm.....well ....something must be right ....this is the fastest RYZEN 1800x on water ......and thats a fact jack!

On current 6001 bios Q-Code 64 likes to hang longer than usual and also incorrect reading in Task Manager for CPU speed.

There's no internal version of 6001 for C6E or C6H WiFi, can't check why until Chinese New Year is over (middle of next week).

[Darth_Ender]

I'm running 6001.

Stress testing in linux right now and then i'll reboot into windows and see how it behaves.

If all goes well, i'd say it's the best bios yet that I've tried (all of them from back when the thing was released).

Update:

this bios makes it easy to get an initial setup booted, but i had to play with settings to get my system stable at even stock 3.6Ghz with my ram at their set 3200Mhz rating. There's definitely room for much more improvement in how the ch6 manages it's voltages by default. Things should be fairly stable these days using stock cpu clocks and the rated specs of the ram you're using with adequate cooling. Still asking too much.

64GB F4-3200C14-16GTZSW @ 3200Mhz 16 16 16 2T

You should have no problem getting 1T single rank to get those numbers if it's spec'd accurately.

[Red_Core]

Existing problems:

# Bus speed jumps btw 98~100.
# Taskmanager reports 200~300mhz higher than the real core clock but mention the real core clock in the base clock. Wrong and right in same time.
# Temp offset still exist.
- with the bios 3008 + Sense MI enabled @ 3,925ghz 1,35V it reached 55C.
- With the bios 6001 it goes to 75C @3,925ghz 1,35V, even Sense MI was/is enabled.

Btw.. new amd x370 driver appeared. version 18.10 since 12.02.2018.
