The best thing usually is to reply with "Sorry if you misunderstood my request, I know this is currently not possible, I am asking for it to be added to a future update" or similar and then see what the response is. Likely "Sorry, I can't comment on future releases/features" but at least the right message has been received. :)

Very, nice. You are to be commended! A response with such manners and politeness may be used next time by me. Give yourself a 'politeness badge', because 'achievement unlocked'!

Yet it's my understanding that the CR setting is microcode, so they would apparently be using a new/diff code just relabeled a prior, like, say, 1.0.0.4 But its been AMD that has a tight grip on the CR adjustments. As we've all read most microcode for a while now will begin to address memory issues. Or I should say Ryzens dislike of memory

Yes, I know Intel, AMD and NVidia keep a 'tight grip' on things... Yet their partners find 'work-a-rounds' to achieve things or outright customize what is given by the Chip maker. - to our benefit!(usually)

As for my tech support ticket regarding memory timings, I thought it was a real 'basic' request to not only have the Command Rate displayed but also changeable from 1T to 2T(or reverse). As(not this again.... ) other AM4 manufacturers have been able to accomplish things despite the 'tight grip' of AMD.

So when I received the response that I did from techsupport@asrock I could only say..."hmmm".

When gather make firmware on the basis of agesa 1.0.0.6?

Yes, I even opened a Technical support ticket hoping that the CR could be not only 'displayed' in the UEFI/Bios but also 'changeable'.

I received a response from john@asrock:

Hi Kevin,
Thank you for contacting ASRock support.
Unfortunately, this setting is not available in the BIOS.



All I can say is, "hmmm..."

I believe it is still 1.0.0.4a given that I don't think 1.0.0.5 or 1.0.0.6 have been released yet, maybe next week???

Yes, they've definitely enabled hot swapping for the drives but I couldn't find anything in the BIOS to allow me to enable/disable this feature. It looks like this version defaults to having it enabled while earlier versions defaulted to disabled. If anyone knows specifically where you can control this feature please let me know.
