I restored the 10.01 BIOS and now the XMP settings work for DDR5 6400 timings. I won?™t update the BIOS again.]]> Mon, 08 Jan 2024 03:27:09 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=27295&PID=108959&title=bios-update-issue-z790-taichi-carrara#108959 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=27295&PID=108956&title=bios-update-issue-z790-taichi-carrara#108956 Author: shan2752

Thanks for the suggestions. What?™s weird about the XMP issue is that the PC turns off and then back on when it?™s posting. I then get a BIOS message that the OS failed to boot and to enter the BIOS. When I remove XMP, it boots. I was thinking about reflashing the previous BIOS, as you said.

Coming from the 6700K, I see that a lot has changed in terms of thermals. It?™s only an issue with synthetic benchmarks so I shy away from undervolting or setting power limits. ]]> Sun, 07 Jan 2024 22:52:19 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=27295&PID=108956&title=bios-update-issue-z790-taichi-carrara#108956 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=27295&PID=108955&title=bios-update-issue-z790-taichi-carrara#108955 Author: Darkje

First it's pretty normal for these cpu's to hit tjmax, that is basically the way they are designed, to fully use the envelop.

Then what thermal paste did you use? Sometimes the stuff you get with the cooler isn't that good, and it's better to use some other descent brand of paste, personally i was very happy with arctic's mx6 results, but any descent stuff of your preferred brand might do better.

An other thing is tuning the cpu voltage manually, a slightly negative offset and other LLC setting could do a lot for temperatures. Once i had setup -25mv and llc=level1 my voltages and as a result temps and watts were much better than with default settings and even allowed for a +200mhz on P and E cores (13th gen), you will have to try what works best for you.

The memory issue is strange, if you can't get it to work with this new bios, maybe just flash back the previous one. ]]> Sun, 07 Jan 2024 21:30:57 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=27295&PID=108955&title=bios-update-issue-z790-taichi-carrara#108955 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=27295&PID=108943&title=bios-update-issue-z790-taichi-carrara#108943 Author: shan2752

Hello,

I?™m surprised that there is such little activity on this forum, but I?™d figure I?™d post here anyway. I just updated to the new 11.08 Bios from 10.01 in the hopes that the voltage to the 14900KF would be better tuned for temperature. I can?™t run Cinebench without thermal throttling at 100C, even with a Lian Li 360 AIO. I have reset the thermal paste 3 times now with no improvement.

Unfortunately now the computer won?™t boot with the XMP profile active. XMP worked fine with the previous BIOS. It will boot with the XMP profile off.

The RAM I have is listed below. Oh, the cpu temps didn?™t improve at all either. I wish there was more specific information provided pertaining to Bios updates, but I couldn?™t find any. Otherwise I wouldn?™t have updated. But when you spend $3500 on a build you would expect to run synthetic benchmarks well. I chose this MB because of the white look for my build. I never had an issue with my previous Gigabyte MB?™s.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
