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

First you need to update your system spec in your profile. You are having 16GB single rank kit ? If so, 3466 is easy. I am running 2 x 32GB F4-3200C14D-GTZ and getting 3200mhz with 14C is great for a duel rank 64GB kit *

Updated, Also going post 3200c14 setting


1.35 memory voltage, 1.15 soc voltage. I don't remember the last auto setting names but it was disable/disable/5/40/40/40/20/20/30/30. enable 3/3/1 on first numbers will not boot. Anything less than 40 will not boot. I think this one ran with 1602(?) bios. Well it was stable on 1501.

The other post in memory topic has 1.40 voltage, 1.15 soc voltage. auto/auto/auto/40/40/40/20/20/30/30. Cause I got error within 100 % if mock those 3 first setting. And it was on 1602 bios, Now 1701 I am getting mouse click skip so it will probably pc restart if running memory benchmark.

Edit: VDD on 3466c14 setting is 875. Anything less or more would difficult to boot.

thanks for updating specs. I wish everything can do this to avoid confusion.

. I don’t think I can use those settings as I am on 2 32GB duel rank kits. I am planning to buy a threadripper and will move these rams to that and will buy 4133mhx ram 16GB for gaming and will convert this as a gaming rig.*

One more suggestion is that it will be really easy if you can export the settings as text from bios and post it here. End of the day it’s easy to copy everything than just the timing. *

the settings file you shared is for 3200mhz. I already am running 64GB at 3200mhz* * *

[HnS-CHH]

Hmm, bad luck cause I don't have that setting anymore since 1701.

I tried 1701 and jumped back to 1401. *9945 and 1401 are the best. 1401 is better allrounder.*

1701 bios good or bad I do not understand, please answer

1701 bios not good same Problem no cold boot fix

4 Bios no fix Why??

its very bad. not stable at all. its better to revert back to 1401 as I did and now I got back good OC . for some time I was running 1501 but CPU was not happy with it. 1401 is the best. 99 one was good but uses more CPU v no matter what you do. 1401 is good with everything. good all-rounder...

Running 40.25 all time and stress test wont go above 59c .. I am on custom loop now.
EK block and XSPC 360mm with Corsair 120mm brushless Fan 12x DC 0.36A 31-002319 x 3.. Max RPM 2900...

with 1401 at 40.25 it my power usage is 1.31 to 1.35v

[Culley40]

this latest bios works perfect for me, i can use all 4 sticks at 1.365v on the ram and 1.375v on the cpu, no cold boot issues, i guess i am just lucky, it also feels a little more peppy than before, my ram is set to 3066 because one kit is 3200mhz and the second is 3000mhz, but both the exact same timings, so it's looking better for me.
