[URL=][/URL]Last few day I have been trying to get the custom Pstates working, so yes have been using the AMD Mode. Pstate OC seems broken on this board so today I went back to "Asrock Mode" -I find the menu layout more convenient -and some say its faster.
(edit: Actually Pstate OC is working,but CPU-Z only show P0 frequency)

What are your XMP setings?

This Mobo sure is strange in some ways. If I OC the integrated GFX in my 2400G it breaks the Core Boost function. With stock GFX frequency, the Core Boost will drop to 3750-3800MHz when alle CPU threads are loaded. But when the GFX is OC'd the Core Boost stays at 3900MHz with all CPU threads loaded 100% -So my system becomes unstable.

Any advice on how to disable memory training in this UEFI version?


As there seems to be no option to disable the training sequence after cold boot in the latest UEFI version I would really like ASRock to include it in an upcoming update. My understanding is that other am4 boards have this option.

I haven't tested this but there is a FAIL_CNT option to set number of training retries before booting in recovery mode. Maybe setting this to 0 disable ram training? This option is located in: Amd cbs\umc common options\dram timing configuration\

Unfortunately not, this leeds to infinite loops. Tested this last week and had the same assumption.

On another note I ran the 3dmark Firestrike benchmark and it crashes now instantly. I did update the AMD display driver around the same time as the UEFI I think, so I don't know the exact issue. Definitely not a smooth sail

If your system is unstable at stock settings, I would recommend you underclock you ram to 2400MHz and test stability with prime, 3dmark and coldboot. If 2400MHz is stable up the ram frequency one step and test again. Proced until you find your systems max stable memory frequency.

Thanks, but I am just stunned that the setup is less stable than with the old bios, which ran 3200MHz just fine.

I don't know if I should open another thread and honestly don't know if the results are different with previous FWs, anyway I've found out last week that chassis fan headers behaves differently (AB350 ITX FW 4.70).

I have a PWM fan that's rated for 1850 RPM (+/- 10% according to manufacturer): when connected on CHA_FAN1 (the one that can also power a water pump) the internal sensor reports only ~1400 RPM if set to full speed on the BIOS.

I didn't cared as in idle usually 500~600 RPM are enough to keep the system temperature sensor to 44 C (25~26 C room temperature) and the fan is inaudible at that speed, the problem was that I noticed after resuming from S3 (suspend to RAM) the fan didn't spin up, not even when the temperature sensor reached ~50 C (using a customized profile).

I spent a few days trying to find a reasonable compromise with fan speed and noise and trying different options without success, until I tried the CHA_FAN2 header. Surprise: when set to full speed the sensor reads ~1800 RPM and no more stopped fan after resuming from S3.

Hi

Seems that there is just a new uefi version 4.71 out for the AB350 ITX- I have no idea what it fixes but it is online on the German vendor site I think. There is a link to it in the post 

Can't get RAM to run at rated speeds with XMP.


I am a little reluctant to just fire it up since I prefer to have others write about possible issues first ha ha- But ok- We will see what it fixes.

Just came looking for any clues on the fix for bios profile loading freezes on a X370FPG. Currently at P4.40 and can't feel the need to update again unless this issue gets finally fixed.

As for testing for wether this is related to XMP, I actually got a BIOS-level crash (code 00) when saving a profile with XMP disabled, then turning it back on.

It is a shame this bug with AM4 boards is not yet fixed, since from tests I could still get better OCing in this board than on either the MSI x370 M7 and the adus C6H, with also a good damn squeeze out the RAM timings on some Adata XPG Z1 2400C16 (running 3200 before BCLK tweak at 15-15-15-15-32-48 at 28 tFAW, 16 tWR, 448 tRFC and 15 tCWL).

Have been wondering if a x470 taichi upgrade would be worth, but as it seems this annoying profile issue still spoils the grill, I'd rather chill down and just accept this x370fpg with its buggy UEFI for now
