My system has ben running perfectly stable with the following hardware:
MB: Zenith II Extreme Alpha PROC: TR 3990X RAM: 128GB G,Skill Trident Z 3600Mhz GRAPH: EVGA RTX3090
I multiboot diferent OS's mainly Windows 11/ Proxmox 7.1 / VMware ESXi 7 and had been fine since I built the system almost two years ago and about 8 months with BIOS 1502.
Since the update to BIOS 1603 with AGESA 1.0.0.7 I'm having spontaneous shutdowns and restarts without any pattern and with any of the OS I boot, in Proxmox (Linux) I can see the following messages preceding the crash:
These voltages helped me to get the system stable,
testet with:
tm5: 9 hours Adia64 Stresstest: 4+ hours Karhu RAM test: 12 hours and still running.
Edit: it must be VDDG IOD instead manually using 1,000v the board sets on AUTO = 1,1000v which seems to be high (with 1603 bios maybe the voltage is even higher as shown).
Lowering VSOC to 1,00625v dont seems to be problem here - but atm i stay atm @ 1,05v think this should be ok for 256GB ram (to keep stability).
Sadly i got still problems to running 256GB RAM 3600 CL16 stable.
Test running really well but installing Windows 11 when i enter the product key the system hangs or reboots.
When i finshed installing Win 11 the reliability and maintainability surveillance shows lots of errors - when i tied to install Creative Cloud/Plugins Tools and so on...
so i have to run the RAM @ 2.133Mhz - even 2.666mhz wont run stable.
This is the first time that i installed win 11 without any errors and nor errors was found by sfc /scannow.
Since updating to bios 1603 i got massive problems too!
MB: Zenith II Extreme Alpha bios 1603 incl. dedicated asus TPM 2.0 module PROC: TR 3970X RAM: G.Skill Trident Z Royal gold DIMM Kit 256GB, DDR4-3600, CL16-22-22-42 GRAPH: PNY RTX A6000 power supply: Corsair AX1600i Asus Hyper Card with 4x Samsung 970pro 1TB / 2x 970pro 1TB on board
1. When installing Windows 11 Pro Workstation and entering the product key the system hangs (forever) 2. or later when i select the partitions in the setup using diskpart the system hangs too 3. sometimes during installation the pc reboots.. 4. after installing win updates there are "red" errors in the reliability monitor in Windows 5. even installation of creative cloud gives errors in the reliability 6. sfc /scannow gives errors after fresh installed windows and all updates. 7. created a new windows 11 image via HP Zbook does not helped (workstation 100% stable)
First i thought it has something to do with the voltages of: VSOC: 1,05v VDDG IOD: 1,000v
but its NOT the solution!
I replaced the mobo (same model) using another graphics card PNY T600, changed the power supply (same model), removed asus hyper card, and the errors with bios 1603 are all replicable !
I got the system over two years and never got this hard issues before.
Even undervolting the memory can help here: 3200Mhz wont work stable, 2.666Mhz wont work stable only at 2.133Mhz the system "began" to get stable.
Interessing on load the systems looks stable tested with: tm5: 9 hours Adia64 Stresstest: 4+ hours Karhu RAM test: 12+ hours
But on low load or during installing windows 11 the system crashes/reboots and so on..
Going back to bios 1502 fixes all.
@Asus please fix bios 1603 for a newer agesa version which works, thank you.
Just like to chime in, @Mappi75, you are a ******* for having the very video card I was drooling over yesterday (an A6000). Here I am, stuck with an EVGA 3090 with 24GB of VRAM...
But more seriously, and I know this isn't the advice you want to hear, but buy this memory (256GB (8x32GB) DDR4-3200 Mhz PC4-25600 ECC UDIMM 2Rx8 1.2V Unbuffered Server Memory by NEMIX RAM) & use it: https://www.amazon.com/2x32GB-DDR4-3200-PC4-25600-Unbuffered-Memory/dp/B09GGX77TH. It's ECC, you own a Threadripper, show that motherboard some love and get it some ECC RAM. Works fine with the latest BIOS, don't even need to configure anything for it to run stock at 3200Mhz. And one guy on there, in the reviews, has apparently gotten it to run at 3600Mhz (on a Threadripper). I'm tempted to do the same, after I resolve that ACPI 15 problem (and after I order up some RAM heat spreaders, fans, and graphite thermal pads).
