X370 Killer SLI A/C 1.0.0.6

I tried Bios v2.5 just now to see if 1.0.0.6 would allow me to fully overclock my Corsair CL16 to its rated 3200 speed and had to revert back to Bios v2.3.

1.0.0.6 is a step backwards for my board. I tried the XMP profile with no luck. I also tried XMP profile on auto with a 3200 clock, 3033 clock, 2933 clock with no luck. It would only allow it to boot at 2133.

Bios v2.3 runs 2933 with XMP on auto so I guess I'll stick with it from now on.

Other than that I'm really liking how this board is performing.

Hey everyone, I also have this board with the 14-14-14-34 3200mhz gskill RGB memory.  I loaded up the newest bios and pretty much from day one release of having this board i cant get it to work on anything but 16-18-18-36 at 2933mhz.  Seems really weird that after all of these bios updates I havent been able to get anything different.  I can do the XMP profile after 2.1, lets me in windows but nothing is stable.  So that was the last "improvement" i saw.

While it is hard to comment on memory models when all I know is they are made by Corsair, I can say that memory was most likely designed for Intel systems like X99, Z170, or Z270. Expecting the XMP profiles designed for Intel systems to work with Ryzen is a mistake.

XMP set to Auto means the XMP profile is not being used.

Don't forget the addition of AGESA 1.0.0.6 is the CPU microcode provided by AMD. The Ryzen memory controller is part of the CPU. While AMD, etc, talk about AGESA updates "improving memory compatibility", a very vague statement that really tells us very little, what if these updates are dialing in the Ryzen memory requirements tighter and tighter? Which means DDR4 memory designed for Intel systems would not be working better, due to their differences. I was afraid we might begin seeing that occur, and now it seems that might be happening.

I have this board, with 16GB G.SKILL 3200 FlareX, "designed for Ryzen". I'm still unable to run that memory above 2933 with the AGESA 1.0.0.6 update in 2.50.

The general consensus in the forum about AGESA 1.0.0.6 on various boards is the same as it was with 1.0.0.4a. The reports are better, worse, or the same memory speeds or compatibility. So it seems no revelations in memory usage with 1.0.0.6.

I've used a Samsung 960 EVO as the OS drive with my X370 Killer SLI/ac board from day one, and although I installed Windows 10 again due to corruption of the first installation from testing memory speeds, I've had zero problems with it.

Denroth, what model of G.SKILL Ripjaws are you using? There are many Ripjaws 4 series and Ripjaws V series DDR4 memory models. We need the full model number please.

Seems really strange that AND would not just follow the standards of the ddr4. I know it's oc memory it is just really strange. Also it more feels like something with the board more so since people with the taichi or crosshair or msi titanium have had 3200 working

I can run my Team Vulcan 3000 at 2933 16-18-18-38 no issues.

If you have issues with the new BIOS, make sure you reset the UEFI settings to Default before flashing.  Seems that not doing so can cause hiccups in the update.
