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

Unbelievable..
And what's even more incredible is that there are cheaper Motherboards from other manufacturers wich specifically supports ryzen 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000 on the same chipset!
Like this one, read its description https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B450M-S2H-rev-10#kf
Instead we are even left with the impossibility to make the pc sleep without losing my stable overclock (I need 1.05 vddg and 1.0 Vddp)

https://de.msi.com/Motherboard/B450M-PRO-VDH-V2.html

This Board has 1 LESS VRM and works well with a RYzen 5 2600 (never any problems just 4x RAMS wont work)

But Resize BAr and 5900X support ... Sad a cheapo 60€¬ Board can yet a 300€¬ top C6H cant....

Its not exactly that it dont work does it ASUS!

There was also the idea of changing the BIOS chip to a 32MB one, but some modding has to be done (3.3v -> 1.8v, etc)



I don't think you necessarily need to shift the voltages to 1.8v. A 32MB 3.3v chip would probably be fine. I think this one would work: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/winbond-electronics/W25Q256JVEIQ/6810681

WSON instead of SOIC, but the pin spacing and order is the same, so should be feasible to solder to the same spot.

Whether the board would still boot properly with a 32MB ROM with a 16MB bios flashed to it, I don't know. And who knows if bios flashback would still work.

Hi all. A doubt. In the suite I see the 1.8V PLL Voltage a red at 1V. This is normal? In the Bios it is in auto mode. What is it for? Should I set it to manual at 1.8?

Thanks and best regards

Update: BIOS 7901 fixed the problem. Thanks

I would really encourage Asus to make support for Zen3 on CH6 series - even unofficial/beta, since AMD officially doesn't want to support - shame on AMD.

It is well known there are no technical reasons that X470 could support but X370 chipset could not support Zen3, so please Asus don't let your enthusiasts be disappointed!

all zen's supported with a small 16mb bios file 😃

btw, b450 are really great mobo's nowadays, just like C6H, but vendor support is valid, even b550 have limited CPU's support (old zen's are not supported)

Does everything work and is Resize Bar availible?

If Asus doesn't fix the 7901 BIOS for the Crosshair VI boards and add support for Zen 3, then I won't be buying another Asus board ever again. I spent like at least $350 on my Crosshair VI Extreme. Asus is supposed to be the best board maker yet they are not adding Zen 3 support to their flagship X370 boards which are only a few years old. Other cheaper budget board makers are starting to add Zen 3 support to their older boards. But Asus with hundreds of billions of dollars just makes excuses? It's inexcusable.

all this time and still asus hasn't fixed the BIOS support? this is an outrage :mad:
