Strange both C7H and Prime Pro has got AGESA 1.1.8.0 with the latest features for Zen 3, while my B550-F is still on 1.1.0.0 patch C which is not feature complete. Running the latest bioses from yesterday and today on all three boards, everything works fine AFAIK. 3800MHz memory with both my Zen 2 processors.

I waited long for a 5950X but eventually gave up, I have a 5900X incoming tomorrow. Much easier to get. On the flip side, it is also much easier to cool.

Makes sense that higher tier boards for Enthusiasts get the newest BIOS updates first.
Not only because they paid more for chunky hardware, but also because those people report bugs and issues way more often and faster than normal customers, so i like that approach.
I own 2 Crosshair VII Hero Boards myself (got em cheap) and a X570-E Gaming, with the 5800X on the X570. Why? Because the BIOS release was not out on day 1. And it is stable, so no way i go mess with that 😄

....sooooo... I know it says it is not reccomended but, anyone has experience with the new bios and ryzen 2000?

okay there are no 5900x available atm.... F

ASUS please release those 2 PCIe 3.0 functions (SAM support) for ZEN2 > like gigabyte did it weeks ago on x470 with full Zen3 support .

Just my $0.02. I´ve upgraded the BIOS to the 4001 beta using an old 2700X and it worked just fine and I was lucky enough to get a 5900X which is working perfectly fine for a couple of days now. The only thing is, I have two SSD, one with Windows 10 and another one with Windows 7. I cannot launch Windows 7, I´m getting a message stating that the bios in this system is not fully acpi compliant. Tried to reset the BIOS to it´s default settings a couple of times and even tried to reinstall Windows 7 but as soon as the installer launches, PUM, BSOD with that error over and over again.
Please let me know if you have any ideas about this issue.

Besides that, I have 4x16GB 3466Mhz sticks that I could never use it at that speed with the 2700x before and now it is running at 3733Mhz, so I cannot complain about that 🙂

Regards,
Ale

thank you so much for beta 4001!

Hello guys and girls, quick question for the more experienced people around. I just found in multiple reviews that a 5900X CPU , running Cinebench R23, should give between 1600 and 1670 points. Mine´s, in this motherboard, is giving 1378 points only. I know this is a beta BIOS (4001) and this is "only" a X470 motherboard, but we are talking about 15% difference here.
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

I run C7H/5900X with bios 4001, I have 1600+/21800 in CB R23. What I've found is PBO/Auto OC etc tanks performance with Zen 3. Just run like everything on Auto and the scores will come. Zen 3 har much tighter control of everything than Zen+/Zen 2, "helpful" bios settings just confuses it and as Zen 3 is extreme stable it almost never crashes with strange settings. It just lowers the performance.

Only settings of bigger interest is VDDP, VDDG and VTT which Asus notoriously sets wrong so you can't achieve a high memory overclock, just set those manual and you're good to go.

Oh. almost forgot, a BIG factor for Ryzen performance is temps as it scales dramatically when temps changes. Those with big scores have big cooling.
