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

I had the same event and found a bent pin hiding on the 2700X. Like a surgeon I corrected it and it now boots fine. The only issue I have on the 6004 bios is bad temp readings for the CPU in 3rd party software like CAM. When I run the AMD RyzenMaster software or look in the bios the CPU temperatures are normal. I am getting 80-105C in CAM and other software. However the CPU is reacting as if the bios and ryzenmaster are correct. I have been able to overclock it to 4400mhz on all cores however it is very sensitive to extreme voltage draw. For example, when I run a benchmark that instantly takes all 8 cores to 100% it will lock in 2 seconds. If i run a benchmark that does that ramp up even slightly gradually then it does not lock and runs for hours like PIE. I have been working on the VDROOP adjustments trying to find the sweet spot between voltage and voltage flux. Other than that it has been rock solid.

Damn not sure what to do. Just looked over 2700X and there is no bent pin.:mad: But thanks for the input.:)

^ 3600 is still a no go for most. But with UEFI 6004 have gotten the closest to getting a BCLK of 101 stable.

Have always disabled Sense MI Skew. So therefore no temp. readout differences from previous versions with my 1700X

Thank you for the info!!
With 6001 i managed to get past the cold boot isseus with ram @3600 but system was unstable as .......

In my case (1800X), if i disable or enable Sense MI Skew, the temperature stays same with an 20C offset.
There is no way, that my cpu reachs 82C° at 4,025Ghz, if it reached before 54C° at 20min 100% load at 3,9Ghz.
If its clocked now at 3,9Ghz it reach 74C°. At 82C°, the cooler would be at least warm, which it isnt. All checked, the cooler is installed right.
In real it would reach arround 64C° which is just fine but with 82.. the fan keeps annoying and it cant be turned off.

My 2700x with the 6004 BIOS on my CH6H is working fine.

[PCPanamaCrew]

Bios 6004: now i can run my Corsair Dominator Platinum 64gb(4x16) ver 4.31 at 3200mhz(normal speed) stable at 98% whit auto timmings, before the maximum reached possible was 2933 using the 4 dimms. if you have a gskill bdie you can try... maybe reach 3600mhz or more stable is possible?

i own a Crosshair VI Extreme and a 1800x

Memory stability on AMD Ryzen is a unicorn. :p:(:rolleyes::eek:

Got a new 2700x I must say that UA 1807SUS perform worst than 1803SUS. Need 1.375 voltage for 4.1ghz though with cpu usage drop one time toward 15-20 %, Is that a sign of unstable OC? I have done many test with 1803SUS, if there lot of cpu drop usage there is high chance pc end up freezing .

I am thinking about getting silicon lottery one. Anyone has experience how much time it takes to Netherland adress?

Edit: What is up with 4.2ghz max??

Anyway can't complain if they highlight 30 more dollar my guts telling if using luck in Dutch shop I will receive bad sample. Means people doing on purpose.

HnS-CHH, It appears the 2700x at stock is pushed darn near to the OCing limit. I played around, both from the BIOS, and then with AMD Ryzen Master for Overclocks. Sure they score as high as 1900 for CB15 vs 1795-1800 stock and yes all cores can run at 4200 but at stock all of my cores run at 4 which was my best OC on my 1800x plus some of the cores, per Aida64 run as high as 4334.

I have an EK AMD4 waterblock with 2 360 rads so plenty of cooling capacity. I have an Asus CH6H with 6004 BIOS and I'm running Flare-X 3200 ram.

I decided that running stock multiplier settings and tweaking the memory made the most sense for the 2700x since it is near max on cpu multiplier to begin with.

Probably not what you wanted to hear but to me it is the reality.

Perhaps, If I accept that 2700x near OCing limit. What AMD practice doing is evil. Giving review sample 2700x 4.4ghz all core prime95 stable. They will continue and I expect for up easily all the processor generation until subdue.
