ill use this thread to collect some new test bioses for the boards, maybe also to explain some less understood options

to disable cores ccd go here and choose ccd xx bit map down core.
each ones stand for an enabled core
best to disable from the back, ie:
110000
instead of 0011000
after selection press downcore apply changes or discard if made mistake

FAQ:
7950x not boosting pass 5.5G -> check that CStates is not disabled
Detailed Explanation on CState Boot Limiter


Test BIOSes:

new:
X3D OC Preset for those MB with asynch BCLK Support: (for simple slight perf boost for X3D)


DOCP/EXPO Tweaked: (for simple timings tightening)

explanation of segment2 Loadline:

customize a heterogenous loadline for a dual segment workload range.

example above shows loadline=L6 when current is in range of 0~40A, and Level4 when current is above 40A.

Adds for x3d

dynamic ccd priority switch with core flex, os / driver agnostic so win10 win11 ok





Algo as follows:
If condition reached and ccd0 specified, then check current mem/cache activity > threshold and hysteresis reached, if fulfilled then switch
If condition reached and ccd1 specified, then check current mem/cache activity <=threshold and hysteresis reached,, if fulfilled then switch
Default hysteresis =4

Can combine multiple algos for ccd priority so combinations are wide

works on non x3d too but of course senseless on it. detailed explanation here.

Latest 3030 on X670E-I, ram stability seems OK, tested a few preset profiles for 2x 24Gb and all seems fine so far.

Modern sleep still completely broken.

If this is correct and they used the base of ZEN 2 for ZEN 5 microcode and merged afterwards  the other branches then we are in for a bit of wait until things will be OK.

Unfortunate, i might need to revert to 2613 for the time being.

At least they got Linux done right... I don't know why you would buy this CPU for windows anyway. If you're a gamer, you buy X3D, for everything else, Linux is better these days anyway by my experience anyways.

And these days even many Windows (sic!) games actually run smoother and faster in GNU/Linux. Not to mention how even faster properly made/supported native GNU/Linux run, e.g. grand strategy games from Paradox (e.g. Stellaris, Europa Universalis IV). All that legacy/obsolete code and  "AI"/spyware/ads and other bloat in Windows is really starting to show its ugly side

I presume these are beta? Where are these posted on AMD site? 

Also you mention 6.07.15.126 but AMD has 6.07.22.037 on their site. So which one is which? 

[WagxCWB]

direct from the AMD website, X670E chipset version.

[Falck]

These have older drivers, compare release note versions on AMD site on their current drivers vs in this zip file

[lordberti]

Strangely ASUS has Today old Driver uploaded to the support page. I think they don't seem to understand the drivers and bios anymore.

I have ROG STRIX X670E-F GAMING WIFI, and ever since I bought it a few months ago, the system keeps resetting when it's idle.

I have changed all the hardware around it (most notably, both PSU and GPU - twice), tested every possible combination of BIOS settings (cstates, PSU idle power, etc...), nothing has helped. The system is rock solid as long as it is being used, I can literally play any game on highest detail for days, with zero issues. But if I leave my PC idle, and allow the monitor to suspend, the machine just randomly reboots.

There is nothing in the kernel log (I use Arch btw😉), there is no way to trace anything.

I know the MBO/BIOS is the culprit because I've tried updating the BIOS to 2124, and it made things significantly worse. When I am on 2007 (as I am right now, had to flashback), if I set my desktop power settings to never switch off the display when idling, the machine remains stable. If the monitor is allowed to go to power saving mode, the machine will randomly reboot within a ~48h window.

However this "don't turn off the display" trick/workaround stopped working with BIOS 2124, and it would randomly (but very reliably) reboot within a ~6h window, sometimes hours later, but most frequently literally minutes after going idle.

I honestly don't know what to do anymore except complain here, I just wanted to have a stable PC, and now I have a system that can either crash unattended, or waste power by having my monitor always on.😑
