Hiya!
I see many UEFI updates for many other Ryzen boards but not for our beloved X370 Taichi! According to https://www.asrock.com/support/index.asp%3Fcat=BIOS most of the AM4 boards are getting various goodies, but not the Taichi... I think most of the issues in the changelogs are also applicable to the Taichi as well. My issues with the Taichi are the untapped potential of otherwise excellent board, namely: - no new AGESA - no IOMMU pass-through groups fix/SR-IOV improvements (still requires SW patch) - no fix for the default Vcore spikes @ auto (P-states OC work but what if I want auto?) - no hard disable for WIFI/Bluetooth - no PSP disable switch - fTPM issues applicable to the Taichi? - Sapphire boost still buggy here EDIT: - what about AMD's Transparent SME for Ryzen/PRO? Is everything really working just fine with that board and it needs no further fixes/improvements? What about the upcoming Win 10 FCU? AFAIK AMD systems are still dead in the water for FCU. Is the mobo ready? Edited by zlobster - 14 Dec 2017 at 3:47am |

Don't want to hijack the thread but some simple Googling shows that it's either hit or miss for Ryzen owners and 1709. Not necessary a mobo issue, but maybe UEFI optimization would help. And what about the rest of the things? |

As for Windows 10 1709, there are other reasons to stay away from 1709 for the moment. I am usually a late adopter to things, so am staying on 1703 for the time being, unless a dumb update forces me (but I already played with updates via group policy editor).
To be honest, I don't think I have any real issues with the TaiChi / Ryzen 7 1700X combo. It's certainly meeting or exceeding my expectations in being a solid and trustworthy platform and being my first build that makes me even more happy. Sure, I haven't worked out how to sort out the voltages just yet, but I would expect that it's likely quite safe running at stock "Auto" settings, if for the fact that it maybe a few degrees warmer that possible with tinkering. A general lack of information outlining the detectable voltages from AMD is what is a little concerning. However, on my old Core2Duo chip, I saw similar things to what I see here, Auto settings always but always safely over volt a chip when it runs flat out. When I say over-volt, I doubt that it really is as such. Temporary higher than 'advised for overclocking' voltage?
I dunno... I hope you get the issues you are having fixed. Sorry I can't really be very helpful. |
