Latest bios version 2704. This was a documented problem on older bios versions that was eventually fixed. But it seems to have returned since they added support for Ryzen 3000. This is the RAM i'm running. It works fine with XMP settings at 1.35v but i want to overvolt it and tighten up the timings. With older bios versions and my Ryzen 2600 i could crank up the volts no problem but somewhere along the way with newer versions supporting Ryzen 3000 i lost voltage control for my RAM.

I have a Ryzen 7 3700x with BIOS 7204 and My RAM voltage control still works fine.

I am using 16 GB G.Skill TridentZ 3200 @16-17-17-17-36-56 (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR).
I haven't tried running it at 3400 yet but I'm pretty confident it will run at that speed.
I previously had it running at 3400 MHz with my 2600 (OC'd to 4 Ghz) on BIOS 1201.

If I was you I would set the Optimized Defaults and then save and exit then power off and unplug and hold in the Power Button for at least 30 seconds to drain all residual power and clear the CMOS.
Then reboot and see if it will let you change the DRAM Voltage.

I think you misunderstand. The options are in the BIOS but Nothing happens. I can set whatever i want but the changes do not apply. Also Ryzen, hwinfo, ect master shows 0 for my ram voltage.

Fix an issue where the mouse will sometimes freeze in the UEFI.
Update multi-language string.

I confirm that the problem has been corrected with the mouse. But still giving white light error randomly at the beginning.

Hi, i recently got an asus strix b450-f to use with my ryzen 3700x, since the day i got it has been working just fine, and 2 days ago i got a new nvme drive (Toshiba KXG60ZNV512G), i have tred installing it on both m.2 sockets, but for some reason when the pc post, it just gets stuck at the rog logo, i've left it for almost an hour and nothing happened.

I already tried resetting the cmos, unplugged every other drive but the result is always the same.

The drive does work, i tested it on another machine and it was recognized without a problem, any idea of what's going on here?

I also was able to test an m.2 sata drive, with that installed the motheboard does boot into windows, but the m.2 doesn't seem to be recognized, granted that i didn't remove any sata drive from my system (all 6 sata ports used).

Do i have a bad mobo?, should i just return it or a bios update can fix nvme support?

Go in the BIOS and set the nvme manually to PCIe 3.0 instead of auto, see if that helps.

Just tried that, still the same.
No matter what i do this board doesn't like this nvme.

Ryzen 3600 here

Im on this update, no issues so far...

But I still think voltages are pretty high and my single core boosts never goes past 4100mhz, even though my temps dont go over 68

Garbage BIOS. AB is buggy, which is why AMD released *TWO MORE REVISIONS* after that in rapid succession.

I don't know why ASUS is giving us ancient AGESA revisions, when every other board manufacturer, even MSI and ASRock, seems to be getting new, working, AGESA revisions to their customers. What the hell is taking so long?
