If anyone is having random lockups when the x399/threadripper 2 is idle, it seems to be because the CPU voltage drops too low and locks up.

I just applied a manual OC @ 3.5ghz with 1.15 volts and it has been stable for 24 hrs.]]> Sat, 30 Nov 2019 00:00:09 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6615&PID=70581&title=important-windows-10-information-for-x399-users#70581 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6615&PID=69810&title=important-windows-10-information-for-x399-users#69810 Author: Dcmegacab

Ok I see. If I purchase and download a fresh updated win 10 install and transfer it onto a USB memory key is there anything I need to format first or will the win 10 download be good to go, say if I make the purchase directly from the Microsoft website.]]> Sat, 09 Nov 2019 18:24:50 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6615&PID=69810&title=important-windows-10-information-for-x399-users#69810 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6615&PID=69805&title=important-windows-10-information-for-x399-users#69805 Author: Xaltar

If you download and install the latest installation medium from Microsoft you
will not have any problems. Even the version you mentioned should be fine but as
a matter of course I always grab the latest from MS when I do a fresh
installation, it saves updating time and avoids potential compatibility issues. ]]> Sat, 09 Nov 2019 16:57:43 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6615&PID=69805&title=important-windows-10-information-for-x399-users#69805 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6615&PID=69797&title=important-windows-10-information-for-x399-users#69797 Author: Dcmegacab

Quick question. Would this cause a corruption in the install if it crashes during install? I've been having problems with my machine using windows 10 and it crashes during install but then when I reload it goes into the normal setup of windows 10. I'm really close to giving up on my machine I've had so many problems with it :\]]> Fri, 11 Oct 2019 15:31:29 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6615&PID=68845&title=important-windows-10-information-for-x399-users#68845 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6615&PID=43280&title=important-windows-10-information-for-x399-users#43280 Author: HappyChubb

My experience precisely.

Appreciate your thorough assessment of this issue. Additionally, I had to disable the CMS setting (bottom selection under "Boot" tab) in order to get Windows to boot & load properly.

All BIOS settings returned to their defaults after flashing the BIOS, so I had to manually disable these settings again.

Great advice, parsec.

If you are installing Windows 10 on an ASRock X399 board, please read this information to potentially save yourself from your new installation failing to boot for no apparent reason.

If your version of Windows 10 is 1607 (RS1) or earlier, please set the IOMMU option to Disabled in the UEFI/BIOS before you try to install Windows 10. The IOMMU option is in the Advanced\North Bridge Configuration screen. The default value of Auto for this option is Enabled. Don't forget if you do a UEFI/BIOS clear, the IOMMU feature will be reset to Auto/enabled. You'll need to reset it to Disabled if you want to use a Windows 10 RS1 version.

If the IOMMU option is enabled in the UEFI, after installing Windows 10 RS1, the PC will begin loading Windows, but freeze at that point. That is caused by the Windows 10 RS1 versions not supporting the IOMMU feature.

Windows 10 RS2 versions support the X399/ThreadRipper IOMMU feature, so won't have this issue after the installation.

If you have an older Windows 10 disk or ISO download USB installer, please go to the Microsoft page below, and use their Media Creation tool to download the latest version of Windows 10. When you run this tool, please be sure to select the Create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file) for another PC option. You can then select the creation of a USB flash drive installation media, or saving the download as an ISO file. You may use the license key from an older Windows 10 optical disk, etc, to activate the new version of Windows 10 downloaded with the media creation tool.

The issue with early versions of Windows 10 not supporting the X399/ThreadRipper IOMMU feature is also true for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1. While those versions of Windows are not officially supported by the X399/ThreadRipper platform (for other reasons), if you choose to use any of those versions of Windows, you also should (must) disable the IOMMU feature in the UEFI/BIOS.

Users of other OS types, such a Linux, should disable the IOMMU feature if you are unsure that the OS or version of that OS supports the X399/ThreadRipper IOMMU feature.
