They didn't work at all until the update - not just for TB3 devices, but even for c-type USB devices (note: the front panel usb-c port on my case - fed by the mb - worked fine)...]]> Tue, 19 Nov 2019 05:05:55 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12907&PID=70160&title=x570-aqua-1-60-bios-report-all-good#70160 <![CDATA[X570 Aqua 1.60 BIOS report - All good! : Sadly, I do not have any TB3 devices...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12907&PID=70147&title=x570-aqua-1-60-bios-report-all-good#70147 Author: midnightcruise

Sadly, I do not have any TB3 devices to test... Did your ports not work till the update to 1.60?]]> Mon, 18 Nov 2019 22:39:04 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12907&PID=70147&title=x570-aqua-1-60-bios-report-all-good#70147 <![CDATA[X570 Aqua 1.60 BIOS report - All good! : Awesome - did your tb3 ports work...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12907&PID=70121&title=x570-aqua-1-60-bios-report-all-good#70121 Author: grrnmo

Just a quick report in on the new 1.60 BIOS with the AQUA motherboard.

New BIOS: 1.60 released on 2019/11/15 (AMD AGESA Combo-AM4 1.0.0.4 Patch B).
Original BIOS: 1.41

Flashed my ASRock X570 AQUA with 1.60 BIOS yesterday and:
1. Benchmarks are a few % better.
a. Cinebench R20 score went up from 7204 to 7220.
2. CPU temperature is 5-7c cooler under load and at idle.
3. CPU clock was rarely hitting 4.2GHz before the update, now I see 4.5GHz often.
4. Memory latency has not improved, but I was not expecting it to.
5. Boot time has greatly improve. I have not timed it, but it's very noticeable.

With 1.60 BIOS:
UserBenchmarks: Game 116%, Desk 169%, Work 159%
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X - 100.1%
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2070 - 110.4%
SSD: Nvme Samsung SSD 970 2TB - 403.9%
SSD: Edge NextGen SSD 2TB - 312.7%
RAM: G.SKILL F4 DDR4 3600 C16 4x16GB - 126.2%
MBD: Asrock X570 AQUA

With the 1.41 BIOS:
UserBenchmarks: Game 113%, Desk 155%, Work 153%
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X - 95.4%
GPU: Nvidia RTX 2070 - 109.5%
SSD: Nvme Samsung SSD 970 2TB - 375.7%
RAM: G.SKILL F4 DDR4 3600 C16 4x16GB - 124.6%
MBD: Asrock X570 AQUA
