For those who were brave enough to update to the latest stable BIOS, please post the following:

1. Your system's specs.

2. The BIOS version that was installed before updating, and the version you updated to.

3. Update method (BIOS/DOS/WINDOWS).

4. Your experience so far with the new BIOS.

Have you updated to BIOS v2.0?

If you read through this forum, you will find quite a few people who cannot get their RAM up to their max rated speed. Right now, you need to have compatible sticks to get the speeds you are looking for.

I'm still on the 1.6 BIOS, but all I had to do to get my sticks running at 3200 was enable XMP and set the timings.

What BIOS version were you using prior to updating to 2.0?

What RAM are you specifically using? (e.g. my sticks are F4-3200C14D-16GFX)

How did you perform the BIOS update to version 2.0?

Other then failing to get the RAM up to the speed you'd like, what else have you noticed since updating to 2.0? Is the system stable when you run your RAM at lower speeds?

1) 1.93D
2) F4-3200C14D-16GVR
3) Instant Flash
4) it is very stable, until 2933 14-14-14 I have no problem (prime95 and gaming)

but in 3200 does not boot successfully, display debug loops to F9

you have suggestions for SOC Voltage?

Nah, I'm not much of an overclocker. Perhaps someone else may have some advice for you though. There are other threads that talk about RAM speeds, or you could start your own with your specific memory model in the title..

1.
1800X @ 4000
F4-3200C14D-16GFX x 2 (16GB) @ 3200
Samsung 950 Pro 512GB / M.2_1
Windows 10 Pro 64bit / v.1607 b.14393.969

2.
v1.6

3.
Windows / UpdateBIOS.bat

4.
No major issues, aside from a few minor nuisances.

Still experiencing a bug in the Restart to UEFI app with RAM at 3200/XMP that isn't present if I cycle down to 2400/Auto. I run the App, the system restarts, but at the first post screen, it stutters and then restarts again. Then the computer boots as normal, taking me into Windows.

Also, my boot times seem higher than they should be. First boot with the updated BIOS (with most of the settings reset) returned a boot time of ~12.7 seconds, versus the ~17.6 seconds its at now. Seems odd that the time would increase with quicker RAM, but oh well. I guess this board and RAM combo has trouble with XMP profiles.

Lastly, I had my first BSOD with this system after updating. While I was watching a show or something on the TV I connect to occasionally, an email notification came in. The wonderful noise that kept repeating until it restarted was one of the final notes in the alert that had sounded. The BSOD was related to the graphics driver, so probably not to do with the new BIOS. More likely due to the speed I have the RAM at, or the fact that I had forgotten to disable CSM Compatibility after updating.


NOTE: If you are running a UEFI OS, make sure you go in and turn off CSM Compatibility after you update the BIOS. This shaved my boot time from ~20.8 seconds down to ~17.6, and the system seems a touch more stable than with CSM enabled.
