Taichi X399 Bios 1.80 and update AGESA to 1.0.0.4

Not good, OceanBlue72.  What method of flashing did you use?  You should ONLY use Instant Flash from the BIOS - NEVER Windows.  After flashing did you boot back into BIOS and do F9 (Load UEFI Defaults) and F10 (Save Changes and Exit).  Open a Hex Editor and look at address 0xE43E30.  I see SummitPI-SP3r2-1.0.0.4.  What you are seeing is exactly what I see in AIDA64 with 1.70 installed.  Please let us hear.  Thanks and enjoy, John.

Yes, OceanBlue72.  Sorry, I did a poor job of communicating.  Please check the hash codes of your extracted 1.80 BIOS update:  Here are mine for FGP board.  I will DL the Taichi and post then in an Edit shortly:

CRC32: D3CA27AB MD5: B822F51ED203C0CDF605B48FBF275301 SHA-1: 5D5003957DAB300F3D0AFFE6778C3BDC7D104F05 SHA-256: A07FD5214F6E912CB413B5BCEA0DC16A872BA98C7011CCC361F162A5D5686AD5 SHA-512: 3C3D383E3AD7208F4EDDF3179796297E822FF33182FBE917C5123EF38794AAD798888A320BFE1E7471D15489FB27E6C20E5EAD5CD7B48824A47700FDBD890EF8 72

Thanks and enjoy, John.

EDIT: Taichi hash codes:

CCRC32: 20A4BE6F MD5: AAC68DA3704C101D0EB13268B6164008 SHA-1: 8F0AF619CF9206C9A64AD9D5789877F10FFD0AE3 SHA-256: 5B8EAD094CBB2D40C58BA3AD2661ACAD02D141946D086F72953A30D567FAA70C SHA-512: 564043DA22ECA171AC22F5B48FD6CB05B483EDBD151EB2A547D78A0E58AC9DAE5FD48F4FAAB06DED728C5B59205B2012C6424D6E8720B34465F35F886AC0CFFE

EDIT: I posted the wrong hash codes - good now.

EDIT again:  The Taichi file I DLed has the wrong AGESA version number in it or is the wrong file.  I would strongly advise you to flash back to 1.70 ASAP!  No telling what you have!  Please open a ASRock ticket and report this.

Ticket / form via the german ASRock website is done.

Any updates on this? I too see that AGESA is version 1.0.0.3 in BIOS v1.80.

I was sent beta v1.71 by ASRock for the Taichi X399, which also says AGESA 1.0.0.3. I had someone send me v1.71 for their board (X399 FPG) and it says 1.0.0.4. The reason I'm looking forward to this update so much is that I've seen 3 people now report that v1.71 fixed their 128GB memory issue with the X399 FPG, which is the same issue that I am having. However, updating to the latest BIOS for my board (v1.80), as well as the beta BIOS that they sent me (v1.71), neither have fixed the issue and I'm still stuck with a board that won't POST with 128GB memory.

That leads me to believe that they screwed up somewhere when implementing AGESA 1.0.0.4 in the X399 Taichi, and it's not simply a matter of them simply forgetting to update some version identifier string. Of course, I've emailed ASRock regarding this issue, but I have yet to receive a response. Unfortunately, in my experience thus far, it seems that nobody responds to their support emails. It's been an incredibly frustrating experience dealing with these issues.
