The beta bios with AGESA 1.0.0.6a is available both for Asus Crosshair Hero and MSI, it's on their forums. Just saying. And I've read the feedback for Asus CH beta bios and haven't seen anything about bricked boards. I've seen a lot of happy overclockers with their ram working at its rated speeds finally. The Taichi costs more than the top Asus board. I hope we don't have to wait month extra on the new bios.

hope this solved the Ram issues. Still on the fence tho, many of the other brands got the Common high speed ram running at rated speeds without 1.0.0.6. so i feel their is more to the ram then just AGESA.

It's a shame that happened to you, but you know that bricked AM4 boards have happened to at least one other mother board manufacture (MSI), right? So how can you guarantee to yourself that will never happen again? |

i would tend to agree partly here with you asus has flashback ON SOME motherboards the crosshair being one (allthough there was one bios that would still brick it ,and be unable to use the flashback usb device) gigabyte has dual bios msi used to have something called M bios or something (it was similar to the crosshair flashback via usb) im not sure am4 msi still has it so yes if i were to give any feedback about the asrock taichi it would be to suggest a form of bios recovery on a £230 ($230ish) mainboard, other than that im happy with the taichi (of course im one of the lucky ones to have my ram working at full 3200 from day one,and locked in a 1700 overclock to 3.9 within minutes) but hell did i do a lot of pre-planning with what ram to buy and read lots of reviews on the taichi before i choose that |

Asus has bios flashback feature so not too risky to flash a beta bios for testing. I don't know why Asrock doesn't offer such a feature like that.

as i mentioned before
asus have plenty of bios releases................... these mainly being beta bios released by elmor (who is sharing with the ROG community) he has his own intrests AS WELL as sharing findings with the rog guys if you read through the history of the crosshair am4 bios history it would make you a bit more inclined to WAIT for proper manufacture approve final releases the crosshair board was and is more relevant to guys pushing testing and often having bad issues as a result including bricking boards, killing ram sticks unstable volts into cpu mis reported temps and volts and a whole host of other issues i ask you guys one thing who among you wants to be a test subject and risk a dead board ,dead ram, dead hard drive or dead cpu just to be one of the first to say hey i overclocked my ram over 3200 on an asrock board ive been following and reading a lot of posts from you guys 'real users' and some of the issues you have what is common (not everyone but common) is the usual hey i bought the cheapest ram i could find (despite widespread internet gossip to try and select samsung b die ram for best results) and i cant get it to overclock to the roof and back ,then slate AMD/board makers/the world for lack of the very best result .............. seriously ! chill out the bios will get released when its ready ,we can then apply it in the background we have ppl writing bios ,testing bios ,learning lessons from the code good or bad and at the same time the framework they write for this bios will in some way have to be suitable for the forthcoming release of future bios for threadripper etc (so they have the groundwork for the threadripper owners early bios updates) |

For this update there are some posts appearing on Reddit(queue the horror scream...) and AMD community forums about many achieving success with higher DDR4 speeds. Even though these are 'unconfirmed posts' I now have been to several that appear to be finding:
1.35v to 1.47v VRAM is common. 1.1 to 1.2 SOC is common. 53.3ohms to 96ohms ProcODT is common(I believe 53.3 is standard/auto) ...also one or two more changes have been made for successful results. Another 'surprising' thing is the timings allow superior options - no complaints here!! - Of course all of the posts I read were on motherboards that were not mine!!! Still a positive turn of results for those allowed to beta test this update... again if these posts are to be believed. |

Firstadopteritus - Being the first to move and very soon after whining for the next best thing.
Our X370 Taichi had AGESA 1.0.0.4a way back on Apr 6 2017! ASUSs ROG C6H? Those users didn't get 1.0.0.4a until a week ago on May 15 2017 ! That's 5, FIVE, weeks difference people.............. Edited by wardog - 23 May 2017 at 11:45am |
