AMD response to AGESA/BIOS query.

I had a phone conversation with AMD support today.  They have tried 128 GB and it works at 2133 MHz - memory and board not stated.  They made it clear this is really a main board vendor task.  In our case ASRock should test and qualify memory to be used and I assume when it does not work for a user, ASRock should fix or explain why it does not work.  As I expected, I got no information about future AGESA/BIOS or any ramifications of Ryzen 1.0.0.7.  We are in a wait and see as we have been.  Enjoy, John.

Share the YT link, I could ask him.

While AMD apparently feels it is fine to throw the mother board manufacture "under the bus", and make it their responsibility, I know that ASRock will not do the same to AMD. ASRock may know why it won't work, but won't reveal it is AMD's problem, if it actually is. Of course, how could either party explain and prove why it can, should, or will work or not work without going into a highly technical explanation that is beyond most user's understanding.

Yes, a board should be able to work at the specs provided by the processor manufacture, which has never been a problem with Intel processor boards using DDR4 memory. DDR4 memory over clocks on Intel boards are simple compared to Ryzen.

When AMD themselves said 128GB works at 2133, while the TR processor stock guaranteed spec is 2400, that was an acceptable response?

Great!  Thanks much SoniC!  Enjoy, John.

So the results are in after the testing of ver 1.80.: 1.80 BIOS :  Same old, same old.... Virtually nothing changed for me... nothing... nada. On my 64GB G.Skill Ripjaws V kit the 3200 speed is still unreachable. 4 sticks, Sammy B-die. The only stable speed is 2933. Move along, nothing to see/cherish here...

2933 is the same top speed for the theadripper optimized newly release flare x-wondering if maybe the theadripper IMC tops off at that frequenct regardless of the AGESA implementation
