BIOS 6.0 with AGESA 1.0.0.3 is out!

Your RAM G.Skill Aegis F4-3000C16D-32GISB with SK-Hynix chips is not in the QVL(Pinnacle Ridge, no QVL for Matisse this time) You maby will wait forever for a bios which runs this RAM with 3000MHz out of the box just by selecting XMS profile and frequency. Try lower frequencies and/or get more familar with configuring RAM. The DRAM Calculator and it's guide are a good start. https://www.overclock.net/forum/13-amd-general/1640919-new-dram-calculator-ryzena-1-6-0-3-overclocking-dram-am4-membench-0-8-dram-bench.html

I've got another kit now (swap): Crucial Ballistix Sport LT BLS2K16G4D30BESB.
Also not in the qvl, but ryzen ready according to crucial.
Still the same.

And the bootloop issues happen before any bios screen btw.
So I can't set it to default.

Tried new BIOS 3.50 on my B450 ITX/ac with 3900X. Still no luck. Bootloops all over the place.

I gave up on waiting for asrock to fix the janky b450 itx bios so I bought a x570. I should have just saved myself the grief from the start. Everything works like a charm in the new board. I have corsair non-qvl 3200 mhz ram, 3600 and an rtx2060. I waited a month for Asrock to resolve the boot loop issue but they're just blaming it on the cpu/ram which is obviously not the case.

hi There all,

I'd like to report, if still relative to anyone, that I did get my new R5-3600x running nice and normal using bios 5.81 on my Asrock b350 Fata1ity itx/ac FINALLY after days of tinkering with Corsair and Ballistics kits. To no avail even though with 1st gen Ryzen 1600, 1700 and 2400G had no probs with any reasonable setting or over clocks. Then I got a 16G kit of G-Skills 3200C16D-16GSXKB-16-18-18-38 from a friend in exchange for my Ballisticts kit. Soon after I managed to get into the bios after days of tinkering between my R5-1600 and bios' 4.70, 5.30, 5.70, and 6.0 which none of let me enter the bios with my usual AMD fore mentioned 3000 Corsair and 3200 Ballistics. Then I tried the G-Skills and got into bios 5.70 more often during boot cycles which I had let run over and over till it stopped cycling w/ just fans were full throttle and try again changing bios setting until i got less and less cycles between successful bios screens. what I realized is, Gen 1 boards or Gen 3 Ryzen 5 or the combo needs 1.4v on memory, memory set to 3000mhz because max Infinity Fabric on Gen 1 boards is 1500 max and it defaulted here setting different mem and voltage though all my attempts at successful boots. Also I cant restart the board, must be fully shut down to enable a stable boot that is and has been stable through all my test. Sometimes, i still get a boot cycle but only 1-3 times max and retain all setting as default in bios 5.81 (the ONLY bios that works for me WITH THESE G-SKILLS) Also, it improved further when after enabling XMP and setting mem down to 3000 with 1.4v, I then tightened timings from the stock 16-18-18-38 down to 14-16-16-36 and now my system is pretty consistent in all my benches and games, peppier and higher scores. eg. Cinebench before tightening was 1075 score :( to 1635 :) So, I hope this is helpful for someone out there. My games no longer experience the stuttering they once were with my R5-1600 being bottle necked. Now a Happy Camper here and new life out of my 1080ti and work bench!
