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.

For me, 1.2.8.0 works better than 1.2.0.3G, which had higher CPU temperatures and reduced performance. Before that, I was on 1.2.0.3f.
It’s been 24 hours now on 1.2.8.0, and there are no issues on the X870E Extreme + 9950X3D, running 6200 CL28.

@SAFEDISK , the only question I have is this: after versions newer than 1.2.0.3d (1504), I can no longer run my memory at 8000+ CL36 with 1.45–1.5 V in 1:2 mode.
Dual BIOS still allows me to boot the kit at 8200 CL36 on 1504, but anything above that crashes.
Increasing voltages (even above my previous stable values) does not help to stabilize 8200 anymore.
Were there any changes after this version?
Do you have any recommendations on what to tweak?

6200 CL28 1:1, with manual settings, works flawlessly on all BIOS versions.

Memory kit: XTREEM ARGB DDR5 Desktop Memory — FF9D532G8000HC38DDC01.

I set a base settings like before, actually without setup my ram, without dGPU and switched ramsticks, the Signal is blackscreen and the LED on Mainboard are Green. Its for "wait for boot"

Edit
My Setup is:
Asus Pro Art X870E 1901
AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D
Asus Tuf RX7900XTX - Actually not in PC
4 Sticks Corsair DDR5 6400C32 48GB XMP Ram = 2Kits of CMH96GX5M2B6400C32
2 WD Black SN850X 2TB
1 WD Black SN850X 4TB
2 Crucial MX500 1TB
Arctic LF3 420 AIO

Edit 2

I think i found the reason for no Boot, when i only Change the BCLK to manual with 100 and not other, the system not start anymore. Idk but thats not normal, normally i have so many different Profiles on My Bios, like a base setting with fixed 100Mhz BCLK

Hello,
I guess I'm really blind.
I can't find the ARdPtrInitVal P0 (or other) option for setting tPHYRDL on my ROG Crosshair X670e Hero board, because I don't have a match between the channels.
Bios version 3402, CPU 7950X3D.
Please advise.
Thank you.

[Cosminnn]

As far as I know, ARdPtrInitVal P0 setting is only available for 9000 series CPU's.

@SAFEDISK Is it better to wait for an update like the one for the Hero? I have the x870e-e, but I saw that they already released an update based on 1901. Should we wait? There seem to be several issues mentioned in the forums.

[ImpetuousRacer]

Have x870E Hero BTF. Flashed 1901 and my secondary drive went missing (the secondary drive is in a PCIE4 slot). Flashed back to 1805 and it's back.

I have a TUF GAMING B850-BTF WIFI and every single BIOS will not flash. It says it needs to reboot to finish, then it reboots and loads into Windows and never continues the flashing process. I tried turning off Fast Boot, but that didnt help. I have to use BIOS flashback for every update. Any idea how to fix this?

[gupsterg]

Using flashback is best method of flashing BIOS. You are using HW flash method, this is better and non issue.

[Exostenza]

Hard disagree, including myself there are three of us with 2 x TUF X670E and 1 x TUF X870E and none of us have been able to get flashback to do absolutely anything whatsoever and we each followed the Asus instructions to the T separately on separate occasions (different BIOS versions and USB sticks) and not one of us have ever gotten it to work - never. According to the three of us it is a completely broken feature. I also don't see it being a PEBKAC issue as all three of us followed the official Asus instructions so if their own instructions don't work then what else can we do?

It is, by far, the most useless feature on our motherboards and we've all learned to just never use it as it never works.

@gupsterg @SAFEDISK Should we call it stable tRFC2/tRFCsb 90/55 ns at H16M 1.74 VDD, no change at AIDA latency also. I set tRFC1 to 1, that means no register for it anymore? Thanks for your help!

@SAFEDISK  Can you tell us if we are in Mixed mode or Pure-FGR right now, please? Thanks for your help!

With this 6400 C26 2200 FCLK profile, I was able to reach 259 MB/s in Karhu.

Additionally, it seems that tRFC1 is currently ineffective or not being used. tRFC2 didn’t boot at 85 ns, and 87.5 ns gave error in TestMem5, whereas 90 ns remained stable for 2 hours.

For tRFCsb, 50 ns didn’t boot, but 55 ns is stable. Looking forward to your feedback, thanks.
