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

Don't forget Level1techs, Wendell is a madman but so very helpful

7403 came back with a cold boot with bios. what is asus doing? :mad:

[Firedrops]

Thread abandoned?

There's a new 7404 released 27 Dec 2019, was hoping to see some discussion on it 😄

I'm using version 7704 published on 27 Dec 2019; the post runs faster, my 3900x in single core boost finally reaches and exceeds (rarely) 4.6 Ghz in single core with the energy profile of 1smus. I get lower scores in cinebenches (about 50 points) but I'm not entirely sure that the cause is the new version of the bios, I hope others can give us feedback.

Pretty much the same here. I have a 3900X and a 3600X two cores on both processors boost 25 Mhz above their rated boost. No more memory issues with this one. I hope 3rd gen Ryzen has a ipc gain. I am ok with the frequencies, I just want to see more work get done in the same power envelope.

[HnS-CHH]

Got myself 3700x, testing memory over and over again from reaching 100 % 2000 % ramtest over 2 days, I google search end up this link which I found interest.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/ch1kkl/3900x_memory_speeds_3600_or_above_limit_boost/

Last day was running 3400/3466 fine, night time 3533 over 20k and still ongoing, that just on 1.35v. When trying 3600 1.45v 1.1v soc voltage and still won't do(below 2000%) even sometime hitting 500 %.

Issue could be the CH6 board and its topology of slots, which are not suited for 3600Mhz and higher... Have same issue myself. Up to 3533 works perfect, at 3600MHz works ok, but its only 99.99% stable, i.e. memory test fails sometimes at 500%, sometimes 200%, sometimes 2000% etc... Same CPU and same memory tried in friends X570 board at 3733MHz, no issues, but in mine CH6 would not even boot. So it is up to the board...

So relax and enjoy at 3533MHz @1.35V, difference to 3600MHz is really unnoticeable.

i got my system back stable with it's 64GB ram setup.

for some reason i updated to 7201 (what?! why?)
and i'm not sure what did the difference, what seems relevant is:
- set ram voltage to 1.33v (instead of the default 1.35v) [because it shuts them off if loading too much current?]
- set the power phase of the SOC to extreme
and a few other things that seem to be less related...

can someone tell me wheter the extreme power phase setting is a bad idea or not even a big deal?
i don't know what it does exactly...

Extreme just has all phases active at all times. For memory, not a big deal. For CPU, it makes a decent bit of extra heat. If you have any airflow, you should be fine, but you'd have to look at your VRM temps for your use case.

If you think it's shutting off due to over current, try raising the DRAM current capability, but at 1.35v I can't really see that. You can always try it though. I run mine at 130% on a Crosshair VII. 1.4v boot, 1.4v running. 130%/Extreme, 4x8GB gskill 3200c14@3600c16, manual SoC voltage 1.05, but always reads low in software/BIOS. I also have a profile at 3600-14-15-14-14-28-42-160nsRFC @1.5v and I've never had an overcurrent shutdown, so 1.35 seems unlikely to do it. 1.5v is nothing to sneeze at, but it's not obscene for daily. It's Karhu 30,000% stable, never higher than 41c/stick in software, but I run a monoblock and a memory waterblock because lolynot.

Extreme on SoC shouldn't be a big deal unless your voltage and LLC is set high. Extreme phase control and high/tight LLC on CPU is unnecessary unless you're going ham on an all core OC on the higher core count chips. That's IMO.

Hi everyone

I am not very expert in these topics. I am using a translator, so I feel my English.

I had since 2018 with BIOS 6004 in my C6H, with the 1800x and without problems. I don't do OC or anything like that. I was able to set my memories to 3200 without problems with the automatic profile.

Today when booting I see that I have an error q07. First time I see it. Restart and boot the computer. So I started reading the forum and decided to put BIOS 6302 for stability. I just want stability. My memories are G Skill TridentZ F4-3200C14-8GTZ

I have rebooted several times before and after updating the BIOS and it has not happened again at the moment. It only happened to me once. Will it happen again?

What is the most stable BIOS version for my 1800X and my memories?

Thanks and sorry for the translate
