BUG: XMP Issue After BIOS Update to 1.30.AS02

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello ASRock Community,

I wanted to report a potential bug I encountered after a recent BIOS update. I upgraded from version 1.28 to 1.30.AS02, and since then, the XMP functionality seems to be malfunctioning.

Previously, my memory supported an XMP setting of 6600MHz. This option is available in both the old and new BIOS versions. However, with the new BIOS, after selecting the desired XMP and opting to "save and exit," the system undergoes a restart, followed by a quick shutdown. After a few seconds, the system powers up on its own. Once I log into Windows, I noticed that the memory speed remains at 4800MHz, indicating that the XMP setting didn't take effect.

Here's a brief overview of my PC configuration:

OS: Windows 10 Pro 22H2
CPU: AMD 7800X3D
Memory: 64GB Corsair Vengeance (6600MHz)
Graphics: ASRock 7900XT PG
Storage: WD Black 4TB SN850X, WD Blue 510 4TB SATA SSD
Motherboard: ASRock x670e PG Lighting
I hope this information helps in addressing the issue. Looking forward to a resolution.

	Hello pangeng, I' ve got also some isues with memory speed and xmp. I had a very old bios 1.07 and updated this to 1.28 hoping it would solve the problems, but it didn't. So i installed 1.30.AS02 and it became worse. So I flashed the old 1.28 like a normal flash update. This worked fine. In the meantime I was reading that you have to wait 5 minutes after activate the XMP setting because the bios first performs a test before activating it. bios 1.30.AS02 and 1.29.AS01 are beta versions and contain some bugs, I stay with the stable 1.28.
