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

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.

Hi, now I have removed my GPU Nvidia 4080 FE and when I try to enable the CSM support, the optinon is grayed...

Is it normal or not ?

Thanks in advance.

[JronMasteR]

I don't know if its normal, but I know when you enable CSM support, the iGPU gets disabled automatically.
Why I don't know exactly.

But in your case, you can't enable it because you have no dedicated GPU installed.

I still having issues with USB. It's very weird also. When I write to USB memory stick the transfer speed vary wildly (from 100MB/s to 0MB/s in ocassions, stoped and crash) and allways (just a few seconds from start, others in the middle, others near the end, but usually in a few moments after starting) in very large files (mainly big videos, about 200GB large video files) throws an error. The error is allways the same: Error 0x800703ee. Windows 11 installed from scratch is the same.
I use to work in this way to provide video files to clients, and now it is not possible. The point is if I conect to USBC front or rear conector, with an card reader this does not happens, so it seems is limited to USB3.1/3.2 ports (tested USB2.0 front pannel and works well but limited to about 30Mb) I already tested the back ports (3 not all of them) and the same issue is present.
Something in my board: ASUS Crosshair X670E Hero is definitevely wrong. I even today do a backup and install from scratch complete Windows 11 system, but the issue is still present (in case drivers or apps were implied in the issue).

Does anybody try (or willing to try) to copy large files (200GB) on a USB stick or memory card with an USB 3.0 adapter to test what happens please?

This issue is driving me crazy.

[iamgarffi]

You’re not the only one. For me it started with 17xx bios’s. My bus powered USB disks fail to copy files screaming that resource is no longer available. And indeed no issue when connected to rear ports. 

[mgmate]

But I have the same issues on the rear ports. I tested with 3 of them, not all of them, but the issue is still the same. So issue is, in my case, with all USB ports. And on the other hand,  I have issues from the beginning (I think first bios version was 14.01).

What's more, is that I got my Motherboard replaced (original was November 2022) with a new one from October 2023. So either all the motherboards have the issue or the issue could be AMD/SW related (yes I install from scratch, formating disk again).

One important point to support what I said is starting in Safe Mode, I have no issues copying files to the USB. Speed is maintained without issue and goes to the end without errors (tested several times).

[iamgarffi]

Then it could be a conflicting driver. 

[mgmate]

I continue with my reported issue testing and I will be adding a little more light to the issue: If I fomat the external card to NTFS ¡¡there are no errors!!. So the culprit is located to exFAT  driver (exfat.sys. that I checked and it is Microsoft Genuine) and AMD (because it does not happens on my old Intel computer) . So probably drivers. 

Screen capture with NTFS formated Card. Already copyed 140GB without error (I did the test 3 times, this is the 4th time)

The problem for  me is that the external memory card, fomated as exFAT, is used within the GOPRO so I can not leave it as NTFS. So.... no I see no solution as of now, but at least it is clear is not a HW issue.

My HW is:

• Asus Crosshair x670E Hero
• 7950x3D CPU
• 64 GB Kingston memory (VQL)
• No overclock
• Windows 11: 23H2, installed from scratch.

Please, if someone can do the test to copy a very large file (more than 100GB) to an external sd card , fomatted as exFAT,  through USB 3.0/3.1/3.2 adapter or card reader to confirm the same issue will be great.

@mgmate 

Can you try this? https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/

[mgmate]

Thanks Olav, but I think, well actually sure that is not the root cause for the issue:

1. from USB-C or USB2 headers the issue is not reproducible.
2. Formatting from GOPRO have the same issue (I detected it first time this way).

So the issue is located at driver level (It seems or some other weird app interfering). I reported the issue to Microsoft, but I doubt they do something about it. It is a very excepcional (I think) use case .

Dear Readers,

I'm trying to run 4 DIMM's of Corsair 32GB (CMK64GX5M2B6200C32), on a ROG Extreme x670e, with DCOP at 6200MHz, but for some reason the system won't POST, and returns to safe boot. When i only run with 2 DIMM's this run's fine with, DCOP I, II and Tweaked. but 4 won't work. Also tried various other RAM configurations, but anything other than the stock, won't POST.

Are there any hints to solve this?

Thanks Olaf
