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

Lo tienes activo en BIOS? Comprueba que no este deshabilitado.
Para la próxima, intenta postear en ingles, aunque sea tirando de traductor xD

Hi guys!

I'm running my CH6 with BIOS 1001 with an 1800X at 3.8ghz and 1.3v.

I cannot boot with anything higher than 2805mhz memory speed. Sadly I got a 2 rank 2x16gb kit.

Corsair Vengeance Black LPX 32GB (2x16GB) / 3200MHz / DDR4 / CL16 / CMK32GX4M2B3200C16

However, I'm running them at 2805/14-16-16-31/1T.

No matter the setting I cannot get them to boot above 2805mhz. Completely stable at 2805 though.

I've got the same memory, had cold boot issues running above 2400 on 0902, currently on 1001 with it at 2666, but haven't tried going higher, want to see if it copes with cold boot a few times yet...

When I factory reset the bios, I change only this:

CPU voltage: 1.3v
CPU multiplier: 36.25
BCLK: 105.2Mhz
Memory speed: 2805Mhz
DDR Voltage: 1.35v
DDR Boot Voltage: 1.35v
Manual set DDR timing: 14-16-16-16-32

Other than the fans being a bit fubar, I managed to get a kit of Corsair Vengence LED Red dailed in rather well, all I did was make sure the memory voltage was set to spec voltage of 1.35 and set to DDR4-3200 in the bios and crossed my fingers and rebooted, here are the results.

The real test is if that will cold boot. I can run 3200 if I boot into windows at 2933 then reboot into the bios and change to 3200. I get error '15' if I try to cold boot 3200.

Cold booted fine this morning.

HI!

What BIOS were you using to make this work? I HAVE THE EXACTLY SAME RAM AND IT WOULD NOT GO PAST 2666MHZ.

i have noticed on my rig when SoC voltage is too high i will get errors just like that ......i got above 2666 by setting 4 ghz on all cores running 1.375 or 1.378 vcore ...i can't remember what the settings says in bios right now ...i switched up to 4.1 ghz just now .....but anyway ....i set my 4ghz setting up and set ram to 2666 and i also set ram voltage to 1.30 in bios even though my ram calls for 1.35 for 3000 mhz because llc will bring it to 1.373 in windows .....very very important piece of this puzzle is SoC voltage .....start with a flat 0.95 ....you can then raise bclk one click at a time and test....but try keeping your cpu to a known stable clock while raising bclk
i do not know why but to much and over volting the SoC will have the same effect as not having enough Soc very hard to determine the right amount that is why i use Aida64 cache mem test so i can see the effect the voltages are having on the memory systems of this set up.....i can not post pics or i would be posting the cache mem test results showing the big ...VERY BIG difference even just one click too much SoC will cause...
i got my ram to 2725 with 102.200 bclk and timings of 14-14-14-14-32-cr1(1001 bios).....and it seems stable as a rock on ram still working that 4.1 ghz setting trying to get it stable ...i do not like the amount of vcore i need to get it stable but raising SoC more then 0.96 on my system seems to have harsh effects on overall scores in the cache mem test...thats why i say this beast of a cpu has a very strong imc and it does not need much SoC voltage at all for the speeds i am currently running ......with this set up i get 400+GB/s across the board on my l3 cache in aida64 if you're under that at 4/4.1 ghz you might be pumping to much SoC voltage.....SoC also seems to affect l2 cache as well but not as much as l3 it seems ......i have also noticed the 1.8 pll voltage if to high can cause crashing ....
i do not know why but this voltage if left on auto seems to want to run 1.87 volts....i turned it down to 1.85...i tried 1.8volts and it did not like that ...lol.
i do not know if my ramblings are even helpful..lol....but i love the hell outa this system and i want to help all who have one enjoy it as much as i do!...

hopefully this new microcode with a bios update really opens this beast up!!!! not that it really needs it ...lol.....even at the settings im running now this thing is very very impressive to me!..... but yeah man ...3000/3200 or higher ram will make this thing untouchable by intel man .....and i cant wait to see the faces on my intel fan boy friends when it does destroy all!!!! lol...and i have a lot of diehard intel freinds....lol...i already converted two of them to Ryzen..lol...but i want to convert all of them ...lmao... AMD is back to the top and never had any doubt that someday they would be !....

yeah your ramblibings are suprising making alot of secnce lol
i've got 1001 working. i have a clock speed of 4.09 gig 100 multi 40.75 multiplayer cor voltage in windows is saying 1.41 SOC is 1.09 ( may be a tad high) ram timings are 16 18 18 18 36 atm i should start to bring down soc voltage a bit more
i'm running stable at present on this.

i think i should lower SOC voltage a little more.

Guys, are you trying to torch our Ryzen CPUs on purpose?
With this and previous BIOSes stock voltage is set to 1.438/1.46v. The thing is 1.35v is more than enough to feed at least 3.8ghz (haven't tested more yet) all cores with AVX work load.
Also I have this weird temperature issue where CPU is idling at 56C(even at 1.35v) while actual Noctua radiator is cold to the touch, but since under load sensors report 70C Noctua fans go berserk spinning at maximum rpm, and I have to tell you, its not silent anymore 😄

Also, is there any plans to let loose RAM frequencies for us to play around? Like on x99 platform we have memory frequencies far beyond what CPU memory controller actually is capable to drive stably. Why not do the same with AM4 platform?

Regarding memory timings and speeds, had no issues with RAM clocking 3200Mhz in previous BIOSes and this one is no exception.
