X670 / X870 resource thread

[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

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.

[magix86]

thanks for new driver.

so far, all seems to run well, on beta BIOS 2702. (strix x670e-f, 7950X3D, some g.skill ramkit ^^)

i also for the first time managed to flashback my BIOS to an older version, after trying clear CMOS 3 times.
third time, it suddenly worked.
CMOS button pressed for 15 seconds every time, also disconnected the power cord every single try. good to know that for the future, as i could use EXPO again on 2505, after the last BIOS (2604) turned off my PC after 30 minutes into a state of complete disfunction.

now why i actually post, anybody tested that Gaming Adaptive CCD Parker yet, maybe in a face off with process lasso?  the gaming turbo mode has videos finally, but a total comperasence would be cool.
like i said, i have some incredibly long boots (i turned on everything, didn't do a dent in boot time, EVER, also, i have some SSD bug with windows, which some magical m2 drives can get, which extends it over double the time, a new SSD is waiting for my new mainboard to arrive), so it's pretty tedious to test it, as the boot times are robbing me of my will to live.

I wrote this already in the past but you might want to check your USB devices too or unplug them before doing CMOS reset.

Reason: I found at least on my X670-P any powered USB device could "back-power" the mainboard via USB 5V line. So if you got any USB device which has its own power supply like USB hubs, USB ports in screens/monitors or powered USB harddrives etc. you might want to disconnect them as your Mainboard will potentially still be powered via the USB device on 5V even if the main power cord is unplugged. And yes, actually USB devices should perhaps have an input diode to prevent feeding powerd back to the host device and also the host device (your mainboard) should perhaps have a diode to protect from inrush current on external device but obviously budget-cuts will cause all this protection to be missing and you end up the 5V rails of your chinese plugpack powering your USB hub directly being hocked up to your mainboard.

I mainly noticed this as my Mouse and Keyboard LED would not go off even if the PC is completely disconnected from the wall socket while having a powered USB hub connected. So the Hub power supply was feeding power to the mainboard and all attached USB devices.

I finally ended up eliminating all USB hubs in my setup anyway. Making sure to directly connect all peripherals directly to USB ports on the mainboard. This helped a lot in many other USB problems. So if you don't absolutely have to I recommend not to use any USB hubs. Neither desktop hubs nor hubs in your monitor or any other sort of USB hub. Rather use some extension cords from the back of your PC to hook up some devices directly on your desk.

[Maddeniels]

thanks for the headsup on this, i actually do have one 24 USB hub, cause i use plenty of USB devices. guess this explains why i had to CMOS multiple times until it worked. and yes, your solution sounds rather clever regarding PC, if something like CMOS needs the battery to be the one thing having juice.

now hoping i hear someone tell me if the BIOS core parking is better than the windows one, and if that makes process lasso obsolete for the most part.

there's always some program that tries to iceskate on x3D CCD, which has to be stopped from doing so. i run a dual monitor set up, and try to cut out all programs running whilst i game, from using the X3D, but i wonder if the gaming solution on board, would work better for games, or process lasso still tops out on that, as it gives you full control. it's kinda annoying to always set up every game, as i play many games at the same time, and i often forget if one is on the X3D list already.

I use a combination of "DDU"(Display Driver Uninstaller) and "NVCleanIntall" to remove items like Nvidia Telemetry service from being installed and run in the background. Although, unless they updated "NVCleanInstall" recently the last version had a little issue with the Nvidia App installation on my PC. Just some tools that help cut down on bloat services running in your background services.

CHIPSET_AMD_v7.01.08.129 updates AMD Application Compatibility Database in system devices that was showing as unknown device by upgrading to AGESA 1.2.0.3

[X_Disturbed_X]

Reporting for beta 1001 bios with my X870E hero;

-Looks like as stable as bios 505 with my 8000 mhz 1:2 mode.
-Pcie gen 2 bug looks like solved.
-I can even bench 8200 Mhz. looks promising needs some adjustments to be made.
-Core Tuning is LVL-2. Legacy mode gave some better latency results in some tests but LVL-2 has best performance in overal.

It took a while but looks like Asus nailed it.

Thank you.

[GabcamMT]

hi ... can you indicate what/where i can understand more regarding the PCIe  gen 2 bug  ? 

[X_Disturbed_X]

It does not happen to everyone. But for me, sometimes my gpu was booting with pcie gen2 speeds. (Check with GPU-Z)
