Ryzen 3000 series support

Hello,

Recently, I've purchased a Ryzen 3700x processor, where I'm coming from an older 1700. I upgrated my Asrock Fatal1ty x370 Gaming X mobo to the latest BIOS (ver 6.00) which you can find here https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/Fatal1ty%20X370%20Gaming%20X/index.asp#BIOS

On Linux, everything works flawlessly. The only weird thing I could've find is that when you query cpu's capabilities:

- 'lscpu' gives: CPU max MHz 5224.2178 (which is incorrec)
- 'lshw -c cpu' gives 5.2GHz (incorrect)
- 'dmidecode -t processor' shows 4.4Ghz instead!! (which is correct)

Right now, when I watch for frequencies, they are normal (from 2.2Ghz to 4.2Ghz) when I compute via OpenMP or just on gaming.

I checked P-States via zenstates.py script and these are right, from 2.2Ghz to 3.6Ghz.

So the question is: how come it marks 5.2GHz as the maximum frequency? Is it just a minor bug?

The feeling I got tells me that I don't have to care, but I ask you cos' you maybe saw something related to this issue.

Thanks in advance. Greetings

The 3400g is listed as supported with a BIOS update on all the ASRock B550 boards
listed on the website. From what I understand support was only not included for
space considerations on the ROM chip that contains the BIOS. ASRock appears to have
found a way to cut down the BIOS size and include support for a broader range of
CPUs, that or AMD's AGESA code was optimized and shrunk in size.

Regardless, if your board has the requisite BIOS version or newer it will work
with the 3400g. There would be a lot of complaints and reports of false advertizing
if it were not the case

Thanks for the heads up! ?? It's good to know that both AMD and the board partners are on it. Let's keep the vibes positive and work through these Ryzen 3000 series quirks together.

Do you hava an ability to do a full copy of bios file from the chip using an external programmer?

I tried using Linnworks software even i hired specialist but still not working
