Hopefully the added time between when 2.3 was launched for Taichi and today allowed the ASRock devs to make it more stable ;)
I hope that the new microcode that's on the way helps make Ryzen more accessible to consumers. I know that it's a new platform, and I know that we're still in the early days. But it is a little disconcerting to see that the 1800X has dropped $35 (7%) in ~2.5 months :\ Not quite the same feeling I had while I was sitting in an almost empty theater for King Arthur this weekend, but close.

So long as you weren't there playing the part of King Arthur. Imagine the actors performing to empty seats ........ |

I guess I should've said movie theater ;) I enjoyed King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, but it was apparently no match for Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Bombed so hard at the box office :\ There was only like ~10 people in the theater for the mid-afternoon showing I went to on Saturday.

1. 1800X @ 4000 F4-3200C14D-16GFX x 2 (16GB) @ 3200 Samsung 950 Pro 512GB / M.2_1 Windows 10 Pro 64bit / v.1703 b.15063.296 2. v2.2 3. BIOS / Instant Flash 4. Still having trouble with Restart to UEFI (ver:1.0.5). Same behavior that was present in previous BIOS: prior to loading the ASRock splash screen, the computer restarts again and boots as normal. Noticed a SIGNIFICANT bump in temperature. Used to idle in the ~40°C range, but now it's hovering around 60°C+. I know this BIOS (v2.30) is supposed to have "enhanced" overclocking, but I did not notice any new settings. Will probably revert back to 2.2.

twf85, I have the same version of Restart to UEFI as you and have never had a problem. Here are the Hash codes for my .zip file, so you can check yours:
Perhaps you have a bad DL. What are you using to display the temperature of the CPU? Apparently AMD added 20 C and some applications subtract it (AIDA64, for example). Unfortunately ASRock does a poor job of describing their BIOS releases. I have asked several times for more detail and have had no success. Enjoy, John. |

I tried uinstalling it and then reinstalling it, but no luck. I can use Restart to UEFI if I lower my RAM speed down to 2400, but no higher. With or without XMP enabled.
I'm using HWiNFO64 (v5.50). CoreTemp Anyway, I forgot I was folding :( I reverted to 2.2, and saw that my temps were @ ~50°C, so I was a little concerned. I just updated to the Creators Update last night, and thought maybe that was behind it. Then I realized I was folding, paused it, and then my temps went back down to the mid-30s. SO.. If I was seeing temps around ~60°C while folding on 2.3, that's still approximately a 10° increase over 2.2. My 4Ghz/3200Mhz overclock runs fine on 2.2, with low temps, so I'm gonna' stick with 2.2 for now. No point in using 2.3 when it didn't fix the Restart to UEFI issue. I probably wouldn't have kept it anyway, given the increase in temp.
I second your vote for more documentation, but I think it's pretty standard practice in the industry for there to be minimal explanation accompanying BIOS releases/updates. There may have been a time or two when there was more detail (comparatively speaking) for some update I installed, but nothing comes to mind. Still frustrating when trying to decide if an update is worth it.. When we have a BIOS with the new microcode, I'll give that whirl. All I really care about now is reducing my startup times and system stability. I'm beginning to doubt that we'll see 3600 on the first iteration of Zen. They'll probably use that as a selling point for Zen+ to try and lure some of the early adopters away from 1st gen, so I think I've taken this system as far as it can *safely* go (apart from upgrading to a 960 Pro, but SSD prices are skyrocketing right now and I doubt that will change anytime soon). EDIT: I just received a test build of CoreTemp (1.7.1), and the readings match HWiNFO64! I'm sure there are others who have been wanting to use on Ryzen, so this is good news ;)

OK, Thanks, twf85. I did not know about the Restart to UEFI dependence on the RAM speed. My memory is being RMAed and I will test when it gets back but will not be able to run 3200. Will also look at CoreTemp (1.7.1), thanks.
Enjoy, John. |
