Glad to have you back after your week off, hope you have rested well and had a good time.

When can we expect the new BIOS versions to be uploaded? Particularly I'm waiting for new C7H bios.

Have a nice day!

Is there any reason why the "USB Mass Storage Driver Support" was removed in all BIOS updates after 2406? With the option removed, if you have external hard drives connected through USB, it significantly increases the time that your computer takes to POST (from around 5-10 seconds to 1-2 minutes).

I've had no problem with slow boot on bios 2501, I have a USB 3.0 external hard drive always connected as well as a USB stick, a USB audio interface, a USB music controller and a watch charger.

I have 7 external drives plugged in, and if I unplug them before boot, I post in around 10 seconds, but if I leave them plugged in, it takes 1-2 minutes to POST. Its an edge case for sure; it's just weird that an option like this got removed.

i used ch7 2501 bios. How the new bios version 2606. is it good and stable? Or should I continue using 2501?

I have enjoyed stability, but still no 1002 boost speeds. 1600/1600 mem and if speed.

Thanks, So, how's the processor temperature? Extreme Tweaker > Core Performance Boost - Disabled. Other settings default.
Temperature dropped to 10-15 degrees. But still some cpu cores are running at max boos clock speeds. Maybe the bios bug, i don't know. I use it this way. Performance no problem and lower temperature.

Also find many references to what PSS Support means in OCN threads for X370 Prime Pro and other AMD threads.

It seems so.

In BIOS I disabled the next options:

PSS Support = AMD Cool & Quiet
C6 Mode
CPB = Core Performance Boost.

Cool and Quiet is supposedly Frequency scaling and Power Management, "AMD Cool'n'Quiet is a CPU dynamic frequency scaling and power saving technology introduced by AMD", to quote wikipedia. I think the confusion is that people see idle state in C-state and assume it is all Cool'and'Quiet is about. P-state Frequency is also a factor. Intel SpeedStep is a mix of Both, C and P states, if I recall correctly.
