So what is this bug in the 3007 bios ?....I updated to it a few days ago and have not encountered any problems with my system , My overclock is working fine , Memory XMP is working normal , voltages look normal , boot times normal .
Hey everyone, first post here, so, hi. Registered here to see if I was the only one having issues with 3007. Guess not
🙂Dannyboy - the symptoms in my case were a system that wouldn't cold POST unless I dropped the memory speed right back. This was despite using exactly the same (mildly overclocked) settings that had been running with 100% stability on previous BIOSes since I set the system up in September.
If I could get it into the OS it seemed to run and benchmark alright, but getting that far was a right pain - that usually involved a few boot loops, the system POSTing in Safe Mode and then reinputting the faster settings. Oh and then a few more POST loops. It felt like having a G*g*b*t* board all over again
😄 The debug display was hanging at 0x55 most often, with the occasional 49, and regular loops in which it would cycle between 01 and 03 without going any further
I didn't do a huge amount of troubleshooting prior to flashing back to 2202 but despite playing around quite a bit with the memory timings/XMP, voltages, Maximus Tweak settings and more, there was just no way I could get it to run stably at previously attainable speeds. Dropping the memory speed (down to 2440MHz from 3260) got it cold POSTing consistently - but with an obvious perf hit. Given that it seemed to run stably once in the OS, experience here seems to suggest that the bug is in the memory initialisation/checking. However with so many different combinations of hardware out there, mileages may well vary. Hope the next one's a bit more usable
