taichi bios v2.40 (agesa 1006) is out, feedback

its on v2.40

first thoughts ............

i opted to reset all bios back to defaults before flashing (good advice guys)
may i say when performing the actual flashing it really took a very long time .....considerably longer than usual bios flashing were talking maybe going on for nearly 4-5 mins
allthough when finished the restart was much fasting than previous 30 second long panicy delays were used to after reset cmos etc
i then entered bios directly checked whats changed etc left it all at default and rebooted into bios again (ive read to do this with ryzen)
save an exited again and was going to let it boot direct to windows
now it performed its own double boot here
e.g. it looked like it cleared bios and was ready to jump to windows log in but rebooted itself once more (i let it do its thing) and second time it went into windows

AND HERE I AM ..................STOCK !

off to play with bios now and test the usual overclock is stable eg 3.9 ghz
i will probably quickly test the ram first (it hasnt been an issue at all since first bios flash day one on version 1.6) ram is gskill f4-3200c15d-16gtz

Awesome, good luck 

Quote Austin Powers: "Yeah, Baby, Yeah!"
Gskill Ram sticks running on stock speed of 3200 and stock timings (or at least 14-14-14-36). Nice one!
Settings: XMP Profile 1, Timing Auto

I´m running these:

Evo still recognized by the board. I must admit I haven´t installed any game yet.
Now waiting for a Vega card and my build is completely finished

Good job on the Taichi, ASrock.

quicknick wrote: Good update, but I hoped for better:   I'm using four sticks of Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 (two dual-channel kits, 32GB total size). On bios 2.0 the maximum I could achieve was 2666 and SOC needed +0.1V offset. There is marked improvement after upgrading to bios 2.4, but still no 3200. 3066 seems to be stable on new bios even at CR=1T, but testing is in progress. I noticed something weird however. If I try 3200 I get the famous boot loop, after which it starts at the default 2133. But after refusing to POST at 3200, I cannot seem to make it boot again at 3066 or even lower, so I have to reset the cmos. Thus, I believe the bios is hampering my attempts to reach 3200, because after a unsuccessful try it simply disregards the changes that I make at the subsequent attempts (increasing SOC and DRAM voltages, playing with timings). Anyone experiencing this odd behaviour? Or am I doing something wrong here?

after failed boot
let it cycle beep beep beep until boots bios
then hit setup defaults/safe settings and reboot to bios
you can then try another ram setting no need to clear the cmos

if you dont reset to defaults it will keep trying the overclock falied ram speed
(its just a quicker way than resetting cmos)

Hello fellow taichi users here is my situation: on 2.30 bios i has memory 2400(auto) and all stresstests good no blue screens and such. On 1.0.0.6 2.40 bios i COULD MANAGE TO BOOT ON NORMAL SETTINGS( kingston hyper x savage 3000 at 2933). BUT stress tests failed. Even during simple work i get blue screens. On 2400(auto) i also get blue screens. So what should i do? Roll back to 2.30 or play with 1t/2t and gear down?
