I updated to 0922 to get ready for the x3d CPUs but now if I try to re-enable AMD Expo it will almost always POST into BIOS safe mode and ask to press F1 to setup or get stuck on memory testing. I reset BIOS to default and did the update like every other time I've done it on this board. I've been using this memory for months on all the other BIOS firmware updates without issues and haven't touched it, just updated the BIOS. Is this a known issue with a fix incoming?
EDIT: Turning on EXPO is the ONLY change from default BIOS.
EDIT 2: I tried setting Memory Context Restore to off, it got past POST once and then the issue came back, windows seemed perfectly stable when it got that far.

Turning CPU SOC to manual only seems to give me the option for VDDSOC, I can't find a place for a CPU SOC value in BIOS 0922.
But I did try the rest a few times with the 6200 option(most of the options actually under Extreme Tweaker and Extreme Tweaker->DDR Timing Control). Typically it gets stuck on memory test(I've given it over 10 minutes)
Keeps doing so until I clear CMOS. One set I tested got stuck on NVMEM test and another on HDD. Also EXPO didn't work at 1.25 or 1.35 VDDSOC when I tried that too. Usually with just EXPO on testing it will goto the POST fail screen after full power reset(fans/lights off etc) instead of getting stuck in memory test.
I also have tried manual inputing the working timings and voltages I got from HWinfo when EXPO was on in BIOS 0805. Also didn't work. 1.25 VDDSOC 30-40-40-96 (146 trc, 884 trfc) fclk 2000 mhz
After all the testing I did now get my first BSOD(ever for this system) back on optimal defaults(BIOS 0922) a few minutes after windows start. Hoping it's not related to trying to boot with the 1.15 VDDP the preset put it at or the 1.35 VDDSOC(Neither worked)

Hoping the BSOD was just bad memory training for that one boot. Playing around with timings in 0805 now and everything runs nice still, nothing too high(I think, I'm new to this).
30-40-40-96 1.4v 6000mhz uclk=memclk, fclk 2000, 1.245 VDDSOC, 1.376 VDDIO, 1.110misc.
I may go back to 0922, keep the defaults and install the x3d. And if default isn't stable doing the 16x2. Also having a backup 16x2 in the future when the BIOS works again wouldn't be the worst thing I guess as I'll have a extra cpu and psu now anyway. Just bums me out not being ram that's fully stable at 0805.
Another possibility is that support page shows 0705 as first BIOS needed for x3d but not sure if 7950x3d will really work with 0805 and what would be lost by doing so.
