Edit updated links to 2701
bios 2701, names in links
fixes some bugs and raises settable fmax offset.
this is still based on the same AGESA version as 250x so dont expect any difference in Fclockiness against that version.

Just tested this and there is absolutely no performance difference between disabling and auto on global c states

Agreed. I had less than 1% reduction in CBR20 single and multi-core scores. That was bad advice.

I wonder what Global C-State Control does then if there's no change in performance and no change in my idle temps?

Most applying the fix report slight increase in idle 2-3c, maybe you have good binned CPU there just waiting for you to unleach its top end power.

Ok after switching c states off I just had a blue screen weah error whilst gaming. Getting tired of this why can't they just get their s#@t together and release a stable working bios

[steverebo]

Is this an issue with running 4 sticks of memory are people with 2 sticks still getting these crashes

Upgraded from 2701 to 3003 and I still can't run 3800 CL14 memories on 3800 MHz and 1900 MHz FCLK, nor 3600 MHz at 1800 MHz FCLK stable, only at 3200 MHz 1600 MHz FCLK stable, just as on 2701 [skipped 2702]. And am having still the same weak CPU performance, as I've had on a first BiOS I ran [2311]. Absolutely same benchmark and real life results. It's like besides the WHEA errors there was nothing fixed 😕

Found first issue for BIOS v3003, when waking from sleep the inbuilt display of the mobo gets stuck on "CHECK CPU" instead of showing the CPU temperature.
System seems to be fin anyway, how can I check if there are WHEA errors?

These can be found in Computer Management Under Windows Logs > System.

Ok, so I can confirm I have no WHEA error after resuming from sleep, only the inbuilt LCD display of the mobo that shows "CHECK CPU" message instead of CPU temperature.

Baio

is that 'd3' error, if so Ryzen Master sometimes causes that to display, idk why.
