Anyone try either of these?

Hi, I'm using 1904, seems very stable, I changed my ram to 2 sticks of Corsair Dominator Titanium, 2x32 64Gig 6800 and 32 cas, and runs ok

In my case, the 4 sticks of DDR6400 running at 5600MHz became unstable with these 2 BIOS revisions.

Reverting back to 1801 restored stability ay 5600MHz.

Update: after a few adjustments, 1904 works fine at 5600MHz. It has a lower tolerance for overclocking it seems, but it can be stabilized.

I am going to wait on 2001 until it goes to release. Beta BIOS is a risky proposition. Also, I already have a K processor so the proposed update wouldn't benefit me much.

Hi glad it seems to be working for you, as you said Ill miss 2001 Beta, as I have a K CPU as well, I'm guessing as a beta, when it becomes non beta, it may not have much more to offer, just system performance improvements
