X670e Taichi Carrara Bios 3.10 problems

Hi Asrock,
recently I updated my X670e Taichi to the latest BIOS (3.01) and I encountered a severe regression for my DDR5 ram kit.
I am using a Ryzen 7950x and a Corsair 96GB KIT (CMH96GX5M2B6000C30) that always worked like wonders with XMP 6000 AGGRESSIVE profile (wich gives me a NICE performance bump) until the 3.10 bios.

Firts thing I noticed is that with the latest bios there is a sort of "double boot": first there is memory training (code 15), then the system reboots and goes again in memory training , while with the previous bioses it would usually boot to windows. After this second boot, I usually have a 00 code after a minute or so of memory training. And the system fails to boot if using XMP 6000 Aggressive profile.
The funny thing is that if I press the reset button when the 00 code appears, the system reboots, goes into memory training and then it boots to Windows normally and the system is rock stable (mem-tested overnight).
However I am not confident in using this BIOS because when a memery training will occur again (usually in a couple of weeks or so if I am not changing settings) I will again get the 00 code at boot.
This behaviour never happened to me with previous Bioses with the same settings...

Finally, please Asrock, fix that damn bug that prevents the Waterpump fan Header from working during Memory training, making processors overheat and force the system to shut down! I had to completely change fan headers and settings with my Arctic Liquid Frezer III if I want to use individual controls on CPU fan, waterpump and VRM fan.

I have a similar problem, specs down below. Restarts work just fine, but a cold start I get memory training-double boot-memory training before booting into Windows. I contacted tech support, and Eric just offered the standard copy and past solutions instead of passing my issue along to their bios labs. I said that that is of no help, he told me to RMA the board, nothing at all helpful.

If the board or memory, CPU or GPU was the issue I would most likely have problems with previous bios versions as well. I currently use 2.10 and it works fine, so did several other versions.

Tech support refuses to acknowledge some of their bios versions are flawed, and while they have nice boards, their tech support is of little help.

Yeah, in fact I suspected that my problems were due to the latest AGESA update. I've been in touch with support with a ticket and they confirmed my doubts saying that most probably it's an AGESA problem.
I see that yesteray a new beta bios was released for X670e Taichi (wich update to AMD AGESA 1.2.0.0) but strangely that beta versione hasn't been released for my Carrara variant so I can't try it at the moment.
What I don't like is the poor memory QVL support for x670e Taichi/Carrara: as an artist I need a lot of RAM for my workloads and there is not a single big size QVL kit at 6000 MT/s speed for my motherboard, wich is strange since is the AMD recommended sweet spot. But at the same time a cheaper model like X670e Steel legend has the same kit I am using (CMH96GX5M2B6000C30) in the QVL list.
I love Asrock products, really, but this is not good support in my opinion.

Honestly, motherboard QVLs are a waste of time. I always check the RAM's QVL to
look for compatible boards. I have yet to see a manufacturer update their RAM
QVLs once a board's product page has gone live. To test every new RAM kit on
every single board, current and up to 2 gens old is a logistical nightmare. Not
to mention the same RAM kit can change from one production run to the next. I have
often seen Corsair (one of the good brands IMO) kits come with completely different
memory ICs despite being labeled as the same model. It is by far easier for RAM
manufacturers to test each of their new kits on a selection of boards from each
manufacturer than it is for the board manufacturers to do the same. Especially now with so many RAM manufactures and kit models.

Talking about the Steel Legend, odds are, if one board supports a RAM kit then all
boards from that manufacturer with that same PCH (chipset) will support it. Generally,
while board designs vary from one model to the next, the underlying architecture
of the boards will be the same, it doesn't make sense to use wildly different
RAM pathing from one model to the next, R&D something that works then design
the rest of the board around it.

So, the TLDR: if you are looking at QVLs for RAM on your board, look for the
newest board released on your chipset and check it's QVL, it will likely be more
up to date. Obviously I mean the newest board of the same manufacturer, this tip
tends to work for all manufacturers.

Hope this helps

I was told the same thing, even though I use Gskill Flair X5 F5-6000J3038F16GX2-FX5, they said it's not on the list so they can't help. It's not like I'm using some no-name brand of memory, it's Gskil which is some of the top memory for high end system builds.
