AB350 Gaming ITX/ac - XMP reset on power loss

This XMP bug is somewhat fixed, but still other settings DO NOT persist after a restart or being unplugged from the wall. For someone who travels or attends LANs frequently and has to unplug my computer often, this is simply inexcusable. Namely, if I disable Bank Group Swap (BGS) and manually set the SOC voltage in the CBS area, these settings will reset when the system is disconnected from the wall. So I have to go through the exercise of booting into the BIOS and tediously reapplying these settings after every power disconnection. As a result, when Zen 2 is released, I will be searching out a motherboard from ASUS and will be moving on from ASRock. Quite simply, I cannot have a motherboard that does not have fully persistent BIOS settings that are unaffected by AC power.

Two months later and no new non-beta BIOS with the latest AGESA. This is getting ridiculous...

I agree

Good call if you're in the return period window. The Strix B350I doesn't have any video out for some odd reason so that won't work for my 2400G. I'm still curious how the board works for you though as there's an X470 model with HDMI so I'm guessing a B450I will eventually surface and not be drastically different than the 3XX series. These boards hardware wise look great and I have more stock in Asus delivering a proper BIOS than AsRock.

My 2400G and XMP 3000 G.Skill B-die has the same behaviour. I believe there's a bug with the memory training option (even if disabled) getting re-enabled after a long shutdown. If I set my memory past XMP 2933 the issue is easily reproducable. This has to be one of the worst AsRock motherboards (AB350 ITX) I've ever owned. So many small issues that aren't being addressed with a simple BIOS update it's ludicrous. Going to sell this POS board at a loss and grab something better for my 2400G. If anyone has good experiences with other ITX boards please let me know. The only way ASRock will learn is if we take our money elsewhere hurting their sales. I will be recommending everyone I know in this space to stay away from these board period. Garbage.
