ROG STRIX X870E-E GAMING WIF New Beta 1001 Beta Version

[sikvdila]

New beta bios and new AGESA 1.2.0.3 version. This update should fix EXPO profile problems after 0606 bios.

Waiting new Filal bios.

EXPO 1 loads EXPO speeds and primary timings. EXPO 2 loads EXPO speeds, primary and secondary timings

I was getting constant BSODs after updating, had to downgrade back to 0804. Hopefully they fix that before they decide to release a stable BIOS.

with expo profiles or anyway?

Just set to defaults, I have the RAM set to PC5200 (it's PC5600, but I don't want to overclock the memory controller).

On my corsair kits, DOCP/EXPO works, but it still looses M.2_2&3 or pretends to loose only 1 until you power on and off, so for me at least, its as good as a no. Though I am guessing if you aren't gimping the GPU like me, then it is working.

I've been using this update since yesterday, and something curious is happening: while it still shows errors in OCCT, it’s not causing any issues during actual use (with the latest stable version, I was constantly getting BSODs). This is true even when running demanding games like Forza Motorsport or Starfield, both on ultra settings. Let’s see how it performs over the coming days. I have a 9900X and two 32GB Dominator Titanium modules.

I have updated to 1001 from 0804.  I am seeing lower memory latency and a slight overall improvement, pretty much like 0606.  Asus has been hard at work, they have been responsive to me and taking feedback (as best as I can provide it). 

I may be brave and enable Memory Context Restore.  😆

I've had difficulties since starting this build with 0804, and was tempted to roll back to 0606.  However, I went ahead with 1001.  Repeated issues with lower than expected 9800X3D Benchmarks and 0d errors on reboots which always followed using hardware related apps (e.g., Armory Crate, L-Connect 3, Samsung Magician).

It all resolved with two simple options.  First, confirming Turbo Game Mode is Disabled, but the single biggest item removing all 0d errors has been TweakersParadise>MonitoringSoftwareRebootWorkaround>Enabled.  

What a change.  Had some fun with early PBO testing also, taking Cinebench R23 to 24173 which appears pretty good.  I'll back off some from that, but CPU never went over 1.26V, so has headroom (PBO, +200 Mhz, Scaler Auto, Curve -20).  Can run better with curve -30 but backed off a little due to good temps and headroom.

Now, one new item just popped up after turning PC back on.  I had an Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed).  This was my TL fan connector, as the fans weren't lit up or spinning.  I tried reinstalling USB drivers but no change.  I then uninstalled device, and rebooted, and it has worked since.  Weird one.

Is the consensus to try the 1001 beta or wait for the next non-beta release. Currently on 0706 which is working with EXPO but has a slower start for me compared to 0606.

Things are running well for me on 1001. In fact, best yet. However I now see there is a 1003 (non beta). Tempting, but also reading a couple users with post code 00 errors (although unsure that is 1003, just thought I read “latest”).
