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.

Hmm, the c6h wifi latest bios ver. is still 6302 until now. They're surely forgot to update it.
Does anyone know whether I could flash it to my c6h wifi?

c6h bios c6h is incompatible with wifi

[skline00]

gupsterg, thanks for the tip. In Bios 6401 at Level 1 I get @ 94000 in Aida64 Queen whereas I get 96100 in Bios 6302 with PBO enabled.
Both Bios settings allow me to run my Flare-X 3200 ram at 3466 speed solid.

I’ll stay with Bios 6302 and PBO enabled unless and until they release a 6400 series Bios where PBO is enabled for the C6H mb.

[gupsterg]

Yes due to PE1 having EDC of 150A it will not boost as much as plain PBO Enabled, as that is EDC 168A. On CPUs I have used on C6H/C7H I hit EDC limiter prior to PPT/TDC in profiles I tested.

[Falck]

Updated without a problem. Flare X @ 3466 14-14-14-14-22-36-1T 1.4V and 1800x @ 4GHz all cores in P0. Will test with games later.

[PwnSensei]

My workstation is watercooled and it needs to be reliable.

Have updated to 6401. I skipped 6302.
Have issues with the WMI I didn't have on 6201.
I monitor temperatures with HWiNFO and set fan speeds with Ai Suite.
On startup HWiNFO64 fails to update sensor information from ASUS WMI.
I ran Fan Tuning in Fan Xpert 4: Fan Xpert 4 crashed, Ai Suite became unresponsive, fans and water pump were stuck at 0 RPM (neither fans nor pump were spinning, I looked and heard, my PC is sitting on the desk next to me). I had to press the hardware reset button to prevent overheating and possibly leaking.
I ran into this problem 3 times and then rolled back to 6201.
This is not a joke, this bios update could have caused thousands of euros of damage. I'm furious.

According to HWiNFO forums the new bios versions have messed up the WMI hardware monitoring support and unpredictable things happen when the chip is queried for data. They're waiting on Asus to fix the problem.

I am still waiting for asus to fix the broken power-led and Hyperx ram Aura support, to me problems seem to be increasing not to diminish.
