I tried different GPU and memory and disconnecting my SATA devices and I still get an E6 code with no post on 4.81 with pbo enabled. I reported it to ASRock support and they said they hadn't heard of the problem so I pointed them to ocn Taichi thread.

That's classic AsRock.
I opened a new "ticket" listing the issues again and it's been twelve days, no answer. Clap



Check what this guy has to say: http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9465&title=asrock-support-doesnt-bother-replying

Basically, he's suggesting to write an email directly, as if you're going to RMA. Maybe it's worth a shot?

Also, JZ has been really quiet on the other issues. I hate this type of silence.

OK, I reverted back to 4.64, and virtualization issue is gone. So it's surely a bug in the firmware.

Can you direct it to Asrock please, or I should open an official ticket to report the bug?

I spoke too soon. Virtualization stopped working for me with 4.81 (on Debian testing Linux). Even though I enabled SVM in the firmware, qemu/kvm are not working anymore:

Error starting domain: unsupported configuration: Domain requires KVM, but it is not available. Check that virtualization is enabled in the host BIOS, and host configuration is setup to load the kvm modules.

Strangely, lscpu shows virtualization as available:

Just flashed 4.81 on X370 Taichi with Ryzen 2700X / G.Skill Flare X 3200 MHz. (2 x 8 GB). So far so good. I don't overclock the CPU, but run RAM at 3200 MHz using customized timings.

PBO boost is totally dependent on core temperature and while you may get a good boost ( 4.1, 4.2, 4.3GHz ) with a high end air cooler/high end AIO it will only last a few seconds before said cooling solutions get saturated and the clocks decreases. Long term maintaining of said PBO clocks across all cores will require a very good custom waterloop or even a chiller. No, no noctua air cooling will be able to keep these clocks across all cores while maintaining health temperatures.

Nobody advertised 4+ GHz on all cores. NO overclock is guaranteed.

What you see with other guys by no means will be also valid for you. Top GHz numbers put TREMENDOUS  pressure on all PC components. Even the slightest mistake will break your OC. Even something as trivial as coldplate not being seated properly, or poor TIM application.

This offset you're talking about is only used for fan control.

With all bioses and a nh-u14s cooler my max all core freq is 3925MHz. Should I change some settings to achieve the advertised 4GHz+ all core? I think the motherboard throttling CPU because it reaches Tdie 63C, and 73C with the temperature offset. I think that 10C offset is ruining it.

What are you using to check temps? I think we have to wait for the pbo to be fixed. 4.64 pbo works and I get about 4.075Ghz with a clc 280.

Hwinfo64, that's what im using.
