from a quick read around on a google search
it would seem at present its not going to be cured by even using another brand of board both gigabyte and asus seem to be having the same problem with x399 its just not liking 128gb/8 sticks most users posts/feedback is cant get a boot with the 8 sticks, one or two guys have managed after many many hours of manual tweaking, to then be presented with windows not seeing all of the 128gb phrases like '96gb system reserved' i have literally found just one person stating they have had success that was a gigabyte board and corsiar dominator platinum ram at 2400mhz iif it was me guys i would use the stable 4 sticks in quad (64gb) and stay with what you have for the later bios updates (of course support tickets sent in with EXACT details of the ram kits and your board will help the bios/tech team to get the kits working) |

With datonyb's research, I agree with his recommendation - 4 sticks till better BIOS/AGESA. I would also recommend everyone affected hit AMD with a ticket. Enjoy, John.

Ahh, I must keep SVM enabled then as it is required for what I'm using this for as it is virtualization as well. 4x RAM sticks work just fine also. No hardware reserved. This only occurs with 7x RAM sticks. |

Just saw your PM and did exactly as you asked. Also to note: I've flashed to 1.5 already, and back down to 1.3 yesterday. So it is 1.3 as of the past 24 hours (and for my test to you). Anxiously awaiting your reply! |

I'm doing 4 sticks stable (no hardware reserved in windows). Does it change if you do a BIOS upgrade with 4 stable sticks VS 7 sticks plugged in)? Note: You can't do a BIOS upgrade with 8 sticks since the system won't POST. Also, the error code is always: C0 with 8 sticks. |

ONLY flash a BIOS when the system is correctly functioning. 7 of 8 sticks recognized is NOT correctly functioning and might very well result in a bricked board if you were try flashing with 7 of 8 sticks seen/recognized. BIG NO NO. I've replied to the latest PM with further instruction and an offer of Phone Assistance. |

This may not be your issue but where I have seen this behavior it was the command rate. Where 1 T works fine with the 4 sticks and even the 7 before attempting 2 quad channels. When 2 quad channels are used it probably needs the 2T timings.

wardog, I am running 1.50 and have for some time with no known problems. Is there some reason for not updating other than a not fully functioning system? Is something wrong with 1.50? I do not want to test it, but X399 boards have the Flash Back feature and should be able to recover from a failed update. Enjoy, John.

They pulled 1.60 due to a couple of repeatable issues. It was explained to me that 1.50 is stable. My recent posts are directed at 128noGB as we are also conversing via PM and I do not want him getting out in front of me in my diagnosing HIS 128GB(16GGx8) Kit issue. Note: I am not a fan of upflashing a BIOS on a perfectly working system in the hopes of only flashing in the hopes a User will gain 100fps. If it's working, IMO, leave it alone. If that 128GB Kit only works with 7 sticks installed and a recent BIOS addresses their/this 128GB issue, then by all means use Instant Flash to upflash. MisterJ, clearer now how my recent posts relate? Sorry for the confusion everyone. . |

Very clear, thanks, wardog. I agree not to update if all is OK. I have not updated my 1800X to the latest for that very reason. With TR having such trashy BIOS/AGESA, I will probably be more lenient. I never flashed to 1.60, because I was leery even though I want to RAID my SSDs. Thanks and enjoy, John.
