Will not post at 3200 no matter what I try. Keep in mind that for AGESA 1.0.0.4a and before, the max it would go was 2400. Command Rate 1 or 2 doesn't help matters for me so I just leave it at 1.



Hi what setting you use? i have a similar kit F4-3200C16D-32GTZSW
and no luck in more than 2800, 2933 is unstable

Thx for the tips but it didnt help(((( i could start on 2933 cl16 2t/1t with soc 1.1 but get blue screen 0xd1 on simple work. I wonder if it is my memory issue or bios issue. On auto on 2.40 i get blue screen even on 30x100, all auto, memory auto(2400). I guess some work needs to be done in 2.x0 next bios. I just rolled back to 2.30 and now on 3800, ddr 2400 no blue screens and such under aida stress test full night]]> Tue, 13 Jun 2017 14:33:44 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5342&PID=31035&title=taichi-bios-v2-40-agesa-1006-is-out-feedback#31035 <![CDATA[taichi bios v2.40 (agesa 1006) is out, feedback : CMU16GX4M2C3200C16RRevision 5.39...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5342&PID=30959&title=taichi-bios-v2-40-agesa-1006-is-out-feedback#30959 Author: Velajan

My ram, Corsair Vengeance LED CMU16GX4M2C3200C16 (SK Hynix), went from being able to do 2666Mhz at 18-18-18-36 to being unable to do anything over 2133mhz 15-15-15-36. It doesn't matter what timings I choose, it will not boot past 2133mhz with the AGESA 1006 update, and responds even worse when I switch the command rate from 1T to 2T where it won't boot at 2133mhz.

Voltage is at 1.35, which I have played with up to 1.45, SoC is at 1.1, which I have played with up to 1.2.

Nothing. Works.

Did I just manage to pick the absolute worst ram available?


What rev are your RAM? cause same ram run at 2933MHz.

Bad experience on this 2.40 with my Hynix LPX 3000 C15 5.30 .
3200 was not stable in anyway at any setting I've tried (and trust me, I've tried EVERY setting I could).
Weird and anti scientific behaviour changing ram settings. Had to clear cmos to start clean everytime and still getting strange Debug Codes especially in cold boots.

3066 stable but not only I didn't get any noticeble improvements, with all the agesa 1.0.0.6 betas and this stable release I get a stuttering experience on Battlefield 1. 

Seems like data flaw to the cpu is not as smooth as 2.30 agesa 1004 in any way, and I already reported this for the previous betas.

Benchmarks and numbers seems not to show this actual drop in smoothness showing a little bit higher values, wich however do not correspond in any way to actual performance in games.

I invite you guys to test your rig not only in stress tests but also in you real world usage, with real software you use every day.
Higher numbers in FPS counters do not mean anything if the experience they give is disappointing.

Back to 2.30, exact same settings, everything smooth. 
What a disappoint.

So, summarizing, no improvements over agesa 1004 2.30, only hiccups and negative effects for my system and my Hynix ram.

Also, BankGroupSwap setting not applying at all with this "stable" release.

Could @wardog or @Xaltar please report to asrock engineers?
Thank you for sharing your experience and help each other

another update here
after 12 hrs switched off/total off
the cold boot issue returned with /14/14/14/14 timings (its a bit better than earlier bios which wouldnt cold boot anytime even 30 secs after switching off)
trying again with a few more tweaks to bios e.g.
ram up from 1.35 to 1.375
soc up from 1.0 v to 1.1 volt
procODT now 60 ohms from auto
command rate 2T
geardown disabled

lets see if it lets it cold boot now

quick update 3333 for ram wasn't stable, it would even freeze the bios and forced me to reset. Also 3200 with 12-12-12 or 14-12-12-12 was a no go, so have it "standart" at 3200 14-14-14-34 which is what we wanted right but a pitty that further overclocking doesn't work
still finally we got pretty much sorted

cool stuffClap
with beta one I knew I can run 3333 with my 2x16GB RAM so this time after enabling XMP I went straight 3333Mhz setting, 1.385v for dram, Soc 1.0, 60 Ohm, gear and power down disabled, command rate 1.
I may do some memtest later
