Asus X670E-I Bios 3263 completley instable

[Blizzard99]

Hi everyone,

since the end of March, the following system has been running smoothly with BIOS 3222... :

• Ryzen 9 9950X3D
• ASUS ROG Strix X670E-I
• GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 5080 Aero OC SFF 16G
• ASUS ROG Loki Titanium SFX-L 1200W
  
• tryded RAMs:
• Corsair 96GB DDR5-6000 CMK96GX5M2B6000C30 (not on supported list of mainboard) on XMP I
• Kingston 64GB DDR5-6000 KF560C36BBEK2-64 (on supported list of mainboard) on EXPO I

I tried BIOS 3263 and it has endless problems, i.e. RAM from Corsair and Kingston DDR5 6000 have errors in Prime95 right at the start after a few seconds. The system is unstable and crashes randomly.

I then used Flashback via Hive to revert back to 3222.

What could be the problem? As I said, I only run the RAMs in the standard profile XMP I or EXPO I and nothing else.

What exactly was changed in 3263, apart from the update of AGESA to ComboAM5 PI 1.2.0.3e, and of course, how was the ‘enhanced system performance and stability’ achieved?

• AMD 9600X
• ROG X670E-I
• Corsair RM850X ATX 3.1

• G.Skill Flare X5 F5-6000J3636F16GX2-FX5
• G.Skill Flare X5 F5-6400J3240G16GX2-FX5

from the website,bios version 3263 states it's irreversible,how can you rolling back to previous version?

bios 3263 from my X670E-i is nightmare,totally can't boot into windows,

single ram in one dimm ,

clear cmos from FPS-II card,

unplug cable from CMOS battery for 5 mins,

reinstall cpu,

tried and didn't work, turn on power and the vram fan in full speed immediately and ROG HIVE stuck in orange ram led forever,

last step i make USB 2.0 and 3.0 drive to flashback bios,but the bios led on HIVE keep blinking,that means bios flashback failed....

strange thing is when i only install 1 ram in DIMM-A (near CPU) red,orange,white led took turns to light forever

single ram in DIMM-B only orange led lights forever

just 1 step to RMA....what can i do now...

I rolled back using Flashback via HIVE with a FAT32-formatted stick. Otherwise, the flashing stopped after three blue flashes and remained blue. If everything is working correctly, it flashes blue until the light goes out, and then the flashing is complete.

Hi I just wanted to say that I too encountered issues with that bios version, mine in fact were even worse.

I run a ryzen 7 7700 with orico Raceline Champion 2x16gb ddr5 kit and the strix x670e.

I noticed in the bios that the motherboard was trying to set the cpu clock to 0 Mhz and the computer would just not start unless I pressed f8 and manually selected the boot drive every time(sometimes it would just reset the bios values randomly). If the power were to run out when it came back up again the motherboard just wouldn't start the boot process (I tried with two different power supply blocks out of the desperation so I know that wasn't the issue) until it randomly started working again.

I am wondering if things improved with BIOS 3278

[vozzzz]

Nope, i just updated few days back from 3222 to 3278 and this is disaster now even on stock memory settings 😞

[Blizzard99]

Don't you mean from 3278 back to 3222? Otherwise, it doesn't make much sense.

[vozzzz]

No. 

I skipped 3263 and moved from 3222 directly to 3278. First few days it was a disaster with stability, reboot in web browsing every hour or every couple of minutes. I tried different settings and all  D.O.C.P. I wasn't stable, but it turn that out D.O.C.P II seems to be fine, but also i need more time to test it, maybe over weekend.

[vozzzz]

Nope, it's still unstable. I need go back to 3222, hopefully motheboard will boot up after downgrade.

I mean this with best of intentions and not to be sarcastic.  If your system is running fine and doing all it is supposed to, unless a new BIOS offers some great new feature you feel you need, it is simply best NOT to flash the BIOS to a newer version.  If ain't broke, don't fix it as grandpa used to say.  And this applies more aptly to our pc hobby in the last couple of years.
