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
ocpak/octools
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)
strixe-e 1515
for crosshair and strix e-e:
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.

Hi, I am aware of this, however, in the old bios, when I unplugged the power supply and held down the power button to turn on the pc, I saw the keyboard lights turn on and off for a moment and this made me understand that the electrical voltage it was discharged, now this doesn't happen anymore...

My system refuses to start even with a regular CL50 at 6000MHz in a 16x4 setup (A-die, 7200Mhz XMP).
I also observe errors at 5600 with JDEC timings.
1807 is incredibly bad for a 16x4 setup.
On version 0922, this memory produced the following results

I think this generation of AMDs is bad at running 4 sticks of RAM at decent speeds that's why I went for 2x32GB myself

No. Memory sticks can do 28-36-36-28@6000.
They have already done this on bios version 0922.
Literally nothing has changed in the system.
The only thing that has changed is the BIOS version.
The problem is 100% in the firmware.

Looking at your screenshot from ZenTimings, you used to have 1.4V SoC, which I don't think is possible anymore in the latest BIOS. There was this thing where CPUs got damaged due high SoC and AMD worked with board partners to lock it to 1.3V max.
Maybe that is the culprit reason?

Here is 1709 with lower voltages.

@ksenchy Purchased a new A-Data kit (AX5U6400C3232G-DCLABK, Hynix A-die, 2x32Gb) with built-in EXPO profile for 32-39-39@6400.
Did a full CMOS reset, only chose EXPO I.
Here's a screenshot of Zen Timings.
Voltages are even higher than on my manual overclock for 6000 at 4x16.
P.S. - based on the tests I ran, it's super stable, no errors in any test - TestMem5, anta777@extreme, y-cruncher for 3 hours.

Congrats, you should lower tRFC (I think 400 should work on A-die at 6400) and increase tREFI to 50000 for some free performance

As already mentioned, applying this much VSOC is no longer possible due to AMD's revised guidelines. Changes in CPU ucode and voltage rules may impact stability with certain configurations, especially when running in 2 DIMMs per channel.
