X370 Taichi with Beta L4.64

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I am losing my hope in running memory at rated (mean 2933) speeds with next stable bios.
Once again, I will let it run on 2800 up to 3-4 day without BSOD and I will let you know how it goes.
I haven't compared or benchmarked 2800 vs 2933, but in AIDA64 and Cinebench. 
I have to see what is gain/loss in benchmark and games.

My latencies improved over the ones with 1700X, on both of those frequencies.
Beta with newer AGESA push my core frequencies further than on 4.70.

I also have weird numbers considering temps and fan rpm jumps, I think in both 4.70 and 4.64.
For example - MBO minimum temp in HWInfo can get to 0 deg. C, CPU Package (I think, not die or tctl) over 100c (VRMs, are about up to 65), and pwm fan with about 2000rpms max is shown with rpms reach about 45000. 

I haven't OC my CPU yet but read about sound problems in games in few earlier versions too.

And what's with the naming politics - v4.70 earlier stable, v4.64 newer beta???

	I'm still waiting for a fix for sound cut outs in BF1 and PUBG crashing when even overclocked slightly. It's becoming a bit unacceptable that Summit Ridge is getting left out from updates and what not when the newest AGESA provides vulnerability fixes and what not. According to James Prior from AMD, the AGESA's are supposed to be a unified BIOS for all 3 product lines. Really hoping they fix this soon, otherwise I might have to jump ship to another manufacturer.

	Kerberos, thanks, I will check with Aida64 after some more testing Cuba1hr, sadly that seems to be the trend with AM4, it is extremely dependent on hardware configurations. Something as simple as different RAM chips can make a huge difference. My kit is Samsung B die. If my tests follow the same pattern as Kerberos then I may not be as lucky as it seems, those scores are worse than my kit ran at 2800 on the launch BIOS my board came with. I have only updated my BIOS about 12 hours ago, much testing still to do. I can say that it is more stable (without needing to tweak the UEFI first) than the 3.0 version I was running. I needed to alter quite a few settings with that to get my RAM stable at 3200 and the rest of my system bug free. 4.64 appears to contain the newest AGESA available for the Taichi. I decided to give it a go and see where I land with my config. Still have a lot of fine tuning to do and then I will get onto benchmarks etc to compare to my previous settings/BIOS version. If I find any interesting workarounds/fixes I will post them here. Sadly it does look like AMD have left us in the cold with the 4xx chipsets being an improvement over 3xx and no real improvements to be had with newer UEFI/AGESA versions. I guess they need to sell the new boards/chipsets. I hope I am wrong but so far, I have not seen any evidence to prove me wrong. Some reviews even show first gen Ryzen performing better and achieving higher RAM frequencies on the X470 chipset. It does at least seem RAM dependent but even if it is only a few cases, it is a little disheartening. I will have more for you all in the next few days. So far, I am not dissapointed but that all depends on my benchmark results. Out of the box stability at the cost of performance is not worth it, I would rather have to tweak things a little and have better performance.

	I wouldn't agree that this 4.64 version is more stable and allowing higher RAM speeds than previous, at least in my case. I am having so much trouble with Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000 (CMK16GX4M1B3000C15), Hynix, two 16GB sticks. I finally got it stable at 2933 MHz(13 days without BSOD) with my 1700X on v4.40 X370 Taichi. So I saw few YT reviews that new Ryzens are better with RAM so I sold my 1700X and got 2700X. THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE IT STABLE AT 2933 - including 4.60, 4.70 or 4.64. Constant BSODs with MEMORY_MANAGEMENT most of the time. Even tried it with exact same settings that worked on v 4.40. Ryzen DRAM Calculator - useless in my case. Even with looser timings 16-18-18-38 or 18-20-20-40...and other settings that I won't write all here now. The new CPU was cheaper than 32GB kit of QVL RAM is now, I am not sure even if there is 16GB module faster than 3200MHz at the moment, they are all dual rank. Currently I am running at 2800MHz with 14-16-16-34 DRAMV 1.37V, SOC LLC 3, stable for two days now. Usually I get BSOD after 3 days on 2933, interesting always on work days, at 1-2 or 4 A.M., never on weekends and during the day (not counting AIDA memory stability test for an hour or more if able, because usually I get BSOD within 5 minutes during test). Last time it ran for 100 minutes OK, thought I got settings right, moved cursor and got BSOD, so frustrating. Fighting with this RAM over an year now.

	u dont have issues with ram latency/slowpoke bandwith? mine fatal1ty doesnt fare well with that 1.0.0.2 agesa (4.63) latency around 75, bandwith in 40GB ranges at 3400mhz hmm so im stuck with 4.61 (68ns with ~53gb read/write)

	One thing worth noting, my CPU temps in UEFI report as 65.5c, this is clearly an error as I am running an 240mm AIO that keeps my system below 60c even under full load with P95 at stock settings. My idle temps in OS are sub 30c so it isn't anything to be concerned about. The UEFI usually shows higher than idle temps, typically in my case around 50c which I would consider normal due to the load the UEFI puts on the CPU. 65.5c however can't be accurate.

	So I finally decided it was time to update my BIOS. I have held off because my system has been running stable but my curiosity finally got the better of me. My RAM is now clocked to 3466 stable at CL18 with no more effort put in than enabling XMP and setting it from 3600 to 3466. Everything seems stable so far and has passed all my stress tests etc so after a few more days of testing I will get into the overclocking side of things and see how far I can push the CPU on this BIOS as well as my RAM. Any Taichi owners wondering if the Beta is any good, it seems to be the most stable version I have tested, even allowing higher RAM speeds than previous versions on my Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3600 kit. RAM: CMKGX4M2B3600C18R (R denotes Red for the color, it is identical to modules of the same number ending in other letters) GPU: Gigabyte GTX 960 G1 Gaming 2gb CPU: Ryzen 1600x That should be all the hardware that can make a difference to stability. My drives are all SATA and none of my M.2 slots are populated presently. I will update once I have done more testing and overclocking Edited by Xaltar - 23 May 2018 at 11:06pm
