[Shamino]

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

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.

From what I can see, he'd just asked you to confirm stability prior to enabling MCR and you only mentioned Memtest86.

Perfectly logical for someone to ask you to verify the system is stable first, you only mentioned you'd ran TM5 later on 🙄.

Asus did ****** on bios 2506 , ruined my gaming time!

This works for me on myROG X670E Hero . Thank you!

Expensive product but Asus did 5h!t , ruined my gaming time!

This works for me on myROG X670E Hero bios 2506 . Thank you!

Bios 0606 on x870e hero give me BSOD with the exact same settings like the beta 0605.

Following the recent discussion, does this mean that MCR&PD is broken on latest 2506/3057 for everyone?
Still waiting for a BIOS where nothing essential is broken so I can finally update from 2413 on my TUF X670E 😂
I don't even care about the .cmo export bug ^^

For sure not for everyone. BIOS 3057 is working just fine for me on ASUS PRIME X670-P with 7950X. I did also switch MCR from Auto to Enabled which automatically Enabled Memory Power Down. I did not have to deal with any AMD Overclocking menu, just used ASUS advanced DRAM tuning menu.

However this does not mean that the issue does not exist. Perhaps it only affects some builds and models. Also it is a known issue of mainboard manufacturers which seem to struggle integrating their custom menu items with AMD AGESA-controlled menu items. Perhaps CMOS reset (remove battery, short pins or use CMOS reset pins) might help resolving some of the issues.

In the long run I guess AMD will have to improve things here as AGESA seems to be responsible for the issues many mainboard manufacturers have building custom menus. I hope mainboard manufacturers push heavy to get OpenSIL ready also for desktop processors which potentially will allow much more customization and better integration into custom BIOS/UEFI code. In best case even allowing fully open source hardware initialization.

Hi,

I use myself the last BIOS 3057 with my motherboard (ASUS ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming WiFi) with an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D & G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5 6000MHz CL30 - 32GB (2 x 16GB) - F5-6000J3038F16GX2-TZ5NR (which are in QVL) @ 6000Hz 1:1 (UCLK=MCLK) and I don't have any issue with MCR & PD with this BIOS 3057 nor with any previous BIOS (Beta or not) since I have this motherboard for over a year now.

My AI Tweaker tab :

Ai Overclock Tuner : EXPO Tweaked
DRAM Timing Control :

Power Down Enable : Enabled
Memory Context Restore : Enabled (enabling MCR will enable automatically Power Down Enable)
UCLK DIV1 MODE : UCLK=MEMCLK

Note : As reminder, you will still have a long boot once a month for the RAM training.

Agree with @SkyBeam, I don't understand why people are looking to AMD CBS to enable MCR & PD, enabling MCR & PD in AI Tweaker tab > DRAM Timing Control is enough.

My finding is that the issue stems to multiple "Power Down Enabled" entries in BIOS 2506 settings pages, while only one does matter (the one in the AMD overclocking pages), overriding all the others (that may even say "Enabled" when the setting that actually applies is "Disabled").

Also, with this BIOS, "Power Down Enabled" may automatically get set to "Disabled" when you turn on "Soc Uncore OC Mode" or set "UCLK DIV1 MODE": in this case you need to go back to the AMD overclocking page and reset "Power Down Enabled" to "Enabled" if you also enabled MCR (MCR and MPD must be enabled together or you will get crashes).

See my post on this page , dated 2024-11-06 11:02 PM.

I cannot confirm this at least for UCLK DIV1 MODE. I am using this as well and my MPD remains auto-enabled. Never touched it in AMD Overclocking menu, just in DRAM tuning ASUS menu.

For reference here's a list of settings I touch (only those I touch):

• Memory mode: EXPO Tweaked
• Memory timings: See ZenTimings screenshot
• Power Down Enable: Enabled
• UCLK DIV1 MODE: CLK=MEMCLK
• Memory Context Restore: Enabled
• Memory Frequency: DDR5-6000
• FCLK Frequency: 2033MHz
• PBO: Eco Mode
• Eco Mode: 105W cTDP
• PBO Curve Optimizer: -16
• GFX Curve Optimizer: -2
• DRAM VDD: 1.33V
• DRAM VDDQ: 1.33V
• SoC Voltage Mode: Offest
• SoC Voltage: -0.05
• Advanced / Onboard Devices Configuration / CPU PCIe  ASPM Mode: L0 And L1 Entry
• POST Delay Time: 0s
• Fast Boot: Enabled
• USB XHCI Handoff: Disabled
• Setup Mode: Advanced
• BIOS Image Rollback Support: Disabled
• Publish HII Resources: Enabled
• Downlaod & Install ARMOURY CRATE app: DISABLED (!!!!!)
• Serial Port: Disabled
• HD Audio: Disabled (I am using HDMI audio only)
• WLAN: Disabled (don't even know why this appears, the X670-P does NOT have WiFi)
• Bluetooth: Dissabled (don't even know why this appears, the X670-P does NOT have Bluetooth)
• Disable all fan controls and ignore fan speeds (Fanless system with no fans at all)

That's it.

Hardware:

• ASUS PRIME X670-P
• AMD Ryzen 9 7950X
• 2 Kits of G.Skill F5-6000J3038F16GX2-TZ5N (4 modules total, 64GB)
• RX6900XT

ZenTimings:

No issues with MCR or any stability (Memtest86+, y-cruncher VST, various applications and games...)

Try "SoC/Uncore OC Mode" Enabled...
