it seems 4000 is added as an option as well (though ive not seen anyone reach it) also as a side note 'mindblank' on youtube has tested ryzen/ram at different speeds with higher latencies it seems even with higher latencies the ryzen with faster ram is getting higher frame rates ------------- [url=https://valid.x86.fr/jpg250] [/url]3800X, powercolor reddevil vega64, gskill tridentz3866, taichix370, evga750watt gold |

After numerous complaints about BIOS versions bricking boards I prefer to see ASRock taking their time. I have seen complaints on all the major manufacturer forums complaining that this or that update broke something, or worse, bricked a board. We have even seen a few instances of that here. As exciting as it may be to see improvements to the UEFI and RAM support I for one prefer knowing that when it is released it is safe and stable rather than being a guinea pig with a beta. That's just my opinion though  The updates will come, ASRock have a brilliant UEFI team and no doubt they are making sure all the kinks are out now that there are mostly stable UEFI versions already available. -------------

I'm fine with waiting. I would like to see them unify the Taichi and Killer AC UEFIs so that I can watch the Taichi Youtube videos and have identical options. For instance, OC Mode is not an option on the Killer. IIRC the voltage settings are also not identical so it makes following guides a bit more difficult. 3200MHz can wait, for me, since the 2900 option works just fine. |

This is what I would also like! I mean there are differences between the boards, but 99,9% of the UEFI (interface) should be the same! P.S. With the new AGESA 1006 I'm hoping to get at least to 29xx in the 4x RAM Module mode... (G.Skill 3200 CL14 64GB Kit here).

guys just to echo what has been said at the end of the day its better for all to have a tested stable bios a few days later than betas or even a week or two its not killing us is it (unlike bricked boards would) to be honest to compare to asus is a bit unfair (as they have a world class overclocker writing beta bios for his own agenda as well as asus/rog) and as for the b350 .guys come on all manufactuers release bios within a few days for all thier board high end or not to be honest im pretty sure asrock gave out later agesa 1004 for some b350 boards BEFORE the x370 taichi on at least one occasion ------------- [url=https://valid.x86.fr/jpg250] [/url]3800X, powercolor reddevil vega64, gskill tridentz3866, taichix370, evga750watt gold |

Fatal1ty is a pro gamer not an overclocker. ASRock I believe has a deal with Johnathan (Fatal1ty) Wendel that allows them to market the Fatal1ty name, likely provided certain guidelines are followed. Wendel does not work for ASRock. Also bare in mind ASRock has 13 AM4 boards listed on their product page, ASUS has only 4. -------------

With the first part I can agree.... so it's just branding.... "selling the hype". But honestly -- I cannot agree with the second part as this is no excuse to me... I would never allow myself (or my company in that matter) to release too many products that I know I couldn't handle/support. No excuse at all. I will wait, as I know ASRock will release a BIOS soon... But to be frank -- they have two of the best AM4 boards and if they could improve... on UEFI side and LAN side (Aquantia neverending issues) these would be the best boards on the market... It's a pity and hurts me personally -- as I was waiting just for the x370 Fatal1ty Pro Gamer for over a month (with the RyZEN CPU just laying on my table) because it was not in stock. Nowhere in EU. Virtually checked all the stores in EU. I finally received it in mid-April (but I seriously thought about cancelling my order and buying from the competition). I've remained faithfull... barely. But those small quirks doesn't make me feel any better...

While Asrock technically has 14 AM4 motherboards on the market, there are shared BIOS versions between some of the models, so they really only need to produce and release 8. I'm as keen as anyone else to get hold of a new BIOS which includes AGESA 1.0.0.6 in the hope of allowing me to get my RAM over its current 2400 hurdle, but I'm all for Asrock spending as much time as they need to ensure a stable release. I was actually a little disappointed by the last Taichi BIOS release (2.30) due to the way they forced you to set an XMP profile before you could change the RAM speed - a backwards step in my opinion, but in all fairness to Asrock I haven't experienced any major issues with any of their BIOS releases to date, so good work Asrock  |

Oh joy, the 'Bios' story again. Complete with some polarization and views that still shock me. The fact remains some manufacturers have achieved some highly respectable feats with this new platform since March. Please note that they didn't wait on AMD. They implemented better DDR4 compatibility, correct BCLK usability and a UEFI that doesn't constantly feel like a... well... 'fist fight'. Understandably, each UEFI/Bios still had problems. It's still a good thing that someday we will get this milestone AGESA update behind us. I am rather skeptical that anything significant will come after that for quite some time, so I am hopeful that this update resolves enough issues so that the consumer can have some confidence in their motherboard purchase. For me that is the AsRock premium AM4 motherboard - the Fatality X370 Professional Gaming. |

Asrock stills lacks fine grain bclk adjustment, can't do 100.01 100.02 yet, only 100.1 100.2 and so on. At least on the Taichi, don't know if the Proffesional behaves different. Hope they improve this, the Gigabyte K7 had fine grain bclk.

So which mother board manufactures have AGESA 1.0.0.6a available in UEFI/BIOS updates for all their AM4 boards? You make it sound like ASRock is the only one that has not done that. So I thought I'd check for myself. Please feel free to do it yourself and prove me wrong. As of Monday, May 22, 2017 at 9:00PM CDT in the USA: Asus: Zero AM4 mother board BIOS updates include "AGESA 1.0.0.6a" in the description. Many of the latest AM4 versions have the description, "Update AGESA to 1.0.0.4a". Gigabyte: Zero AM4 mother board BIOS updates include "AGESA 1.0.0.6a" in the description. Most if not all of the latest AM4 BIOS updates have the description "Update CPU AGESA 1004a". MSI: I gave up after checking eight AM4 boards, their website is clumsy, four X370 and four B350. Nothing about "AGESA 1.0.0.6a" in any of the BIOS updates. Of course we all want to get the AGESA 1.0.0.6a microcode update into our AM4 boards, but don't try to make it look like ASRock is the not doing it while others are. That is just false and wrong. I would like to ask you, are you complaining to AMD about when AGESA 1.0.06a will be released? I doubt they would give us a date, since some people would expect it to be available from mother board manufactures the next day. That of course is ridiculous. Reality check time. Guess what is happening at the end of May? The Computex2017 PC show in Taipei, Taiwan. Guess what all the mother board manufactures are doing currently? Getting ready for the Computex2017 PC show. What else is new? Intel's X299 platform and a few new HEDT processors to go along with it. Are mother board manufactures dealing with that too? Yes they are, we might even see X299 boards at Computex2017. Mother board manufactures are busy now, very busy. Late 2016 and early 2017 have been tough times for them. The last thing they need is false information about them posted as reality on the Internet. ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">

For this update there are some posts appearing on Reddit(queue the horror scream...) and AMD community forums about many achieving success with higher DDR4 speeds. Even though these are 'unconfirmed posts' I now have been to several that appear to be finding: 1.35v to 1.47v VRAM is common. 1.1 to 1.2 SOC is common. 53.3ohms to 96ohms ProcODT is common(I believe 53.3 is standard/auto) ...also one or two more changes have been made for successful results. Another 'surprising' thing is the timings allow superior options - no complaints here!! - Of course all of the posts I read were on motherboards that were not mine!!! Still a positive turn of results for those allowed to beta test this update... again if these posts are to be believed. |

as i mentioned before asus have plenty of bios releases................... these mainly being beta bios released by elmor (who is sharing with the ROG community) he has his own intrests AS WELL as sharing findings with the rog guys if you read through the history of the crosshair am4 bios history it would make you a bit more inclined to WAIT for proper manufacture approve final releases the crosshair board was and is more relevant to guys pushing testing and often having bad issues as a result including bricking boards, killing ram sticks unstable volts into cpu mis reported temps and volts and a whole host of other issues i ask you guys one thing who among you wants to be a test subject and risk a dead board ,dead ram, dead hard drive or dead cpu just to be one of the first to say hey i overclocked my ram over 3200 on an asrock board ive been following and reading a lot of posts from you guys 'real users' and some of the issues you have what is common (not everyone but common) is the usual hey i bought the cheapest ram i could find (despite widespread internet gossip to try and select samsung b die ram for best results) and i cant get it to overclock to the roof and back ,then slate AMD/board makers/the world for lack of the very best result .............. seriously ! chill out the bios will get released when its ready ,we can then apply it in the background we have ppl writing bios ,testing bios ,learning lessons from the code good or bad and at the same time the framework they write for this bios will in some way have to be suitable for the forthcoming release of future bios for threadripper etc (so they have the groundwork for the threadripper owners early bios updates) ------------- [url=https://valid.x86.fr/jpg250] [/url]3800X, powercolor reddevil vega64, gskill tridentz3866, taichix370, evga750watt gold |

i would tend to agree partly here with you asus has flashback ON SOME motherboards the crosshair being one (allthough there was one bios that would still brick it ,and be unable to use the flashback usb device) gigabyte has dual bios msi used to have something called M bios or something (it was similar to the crosshair flashback via usb) im not sure am4 msi still has it so yes if i were to give any feedback about the asrock taichi it would be to suggest a form of bios recovery on a £230 ($230ish) mainboard, other than that im happy with the taichi (of course im one of the lucky ones to have my ram working at full 3200 from day one,and locked in a 1700 overclock to 3.9 within minutes) but hell did i do a lot of pre-planning with what ram to buy and read lots of reviews on the taichi before i choose that ------------- [url=https://valid.x86.fr/jpg250] [/url]3800X, powercolor reddevil vega64, gskill tridentz3866, taichix370, evga750watt gold |

And I've read the feedback for Asus CH beta bios and haven't seen anything about bricked boards. I've seen a lot of happy overclockers with their ram working at its rated speeds finally. The Taichi costs more than the top Asus board. I hope we don't have to wait month extra on the new bios.

I personally wouldn't run a Beta Bios on my board (Killer SLI A/C), but would like to see the option for others. Most people just want to overclock their Ram to its highest OC setting, but I don't think they understand how important this is for Ryzen. The Infinity Fabric is directly tied to Ram speeds so that is my personal reason for wanting to see the new update. As it stands right now my system is blazingly fast, chews through games like there's no tomorrow, and anything work related on the desktop is snappy. I'm coming over from a MBP so obviously my case might be different than others that have been using desktops since forever and a day. |

Probably that is why everyone runs like crazy waiting for the new AGESA that _ should _ up the OC potential / compatibility with most of the RAM sticks... I also have high hopes that my quad kit will run @ at least 29xx (3000) speed. ------------- -=SoniC=- TR x1950, ASRock X399 FPG (v. 3.33A), G.Skill 3200 CL14 64GB, Enermax LiqTech 280, AMD Vega 64 LC, 10x HDDs (mostly Hitachi), 2x M.2 (970EVO,960Pro), Xonar DX, AX1200i PSU |

It's a side effect of the buggy shoddy release thanks to AMD unfortunately. As much as we all may love the product, the fact of the matter is that we probably all should have held off on buying at least 6 months while the kinks got worked out. A rushed release is a rushed release, and some of us are impatient trying to get our very expensive systems working correctly. Can't fault people for that. Especially with all the rumors circulating about the issues being directly related to the AGESA code, everyone is stomping their feet waiting for the update. I personally had no plans to touch ryzen for a while, but since DDR4 prices are on a steady rise, and the sales hit right when I had the itch, bought the parts. Only to find exactly what I expected...bugs. Lots of them. lol

About the only thing the Crosshair has going for it, is it has a lot of USB ports on the back... But the ASRock X370 Fatil1ty and Taichi have more things like the Wifi and ultra M.2.

I have to disagree with you on waiting 6 months. At most, it would have been the first AGESA update. I have had zero issues with my Ryzen rig. Every component has performed flawlessly out of the box. Win10 installed to my NVME without issue. RAID1 storage setup. It's been brilliant. AMD definitely did a poor job coordinating the ecosystem with partners and preparing its MB manufacturers, but there have been no bugs that have prevented me from doing what I need to do. No BSOD or critical system errors. Just flawless performance. Perhaps I'm one of the lucky ones. Not having a specific RAM speed available is not a bug. It's platform immaturity. If I recall correctly, and do correct me if I'm wrong, it took Intel 6-12 months to fully develop their DDR4 support. Users are accustomed to faster RAM because of Intel and AMD is admittedly playing catch-up. The only issue I have is waiting on Cryorig to send me the bracket for my AIO. Again, AMD's lack of supporting partner's prior to launch. ------------- https://valid.x86.fr/mlwde2" rel="nofollow">

Well spoken, as so many inaccurately state that some Ryzen customers are suffering from 'early-adopter-itus' syndrome. Which I believe is dismissive, as I actually love my Ryzen 1800X. I was also one of those who benefited by a $40 price drop near mid April and an additional $100 reduction when purchasing a motherboard at Micro Center so my 'beginning' experience was phenomenal. To point out also the DDR4 support(and continuous microcode releases) on the Intel side has been focused on by Memory Manufacturers, Motherboard Manufactures and Intel for a nearing (mature) '8-9th' generation' platform. As for myself, I hope the next AGESA update and the Motherboard Manufacturer implementation of it, deals with enough issues to bring about greater customer satisfaction. After that?, it may be a long time for Software/Game Devs, AMD and it's Mobo partners to release something significant. So specifically as my focus is more DDR4/BCLK/UEFI usability related, my hopes are that they are addressed in this update. |

You are correct that it took Intel time to develop their DDR4 support, but if we check the history of Intel and DDR4, it took longer than a year. There were some unavoidable limitations with the memory controller designs apparently, plus DDR4 is still relatively new. DDR4 was first used in Intel's X99 platform with Haswell and then Broadwell HEDT processors. Achieving DDR4 speeds of 3000 was a challenge and beyond 3000 is still not easy. Not many complaints about that, since the best DDR4 speeds were above DDR3, and it was accepted that DDR4 was immature at that time. X99 was launched in Q3, 2014. Next was the Intel Skylake 100 series chipset and processor generation, where initially speeds over DDR4 3200 were unusual. The latest UEFI/BIOS updates and new DDR4 memory models in high end boards can reach DDR4 4000+, but you must pay for the best to get there. DDR4 at that speed did not exist when Skylake was released. Also, at first the XMP profiles did not work well on Skylake systems, and we had to manually set the memory timings. That was fixed to some degree, but early DDR4 3000+ memory models had to be set up manually. Skylake was launched in Q3, 2015. Once Intel Kaby Lake came into production, DDR4 speeds of 3200+ became much more common and easy to reach. DDR4 3400 and 3600 was not unusual for mid range boards. If that was due to better memory controller design, better DDR4 memory design, improved CPU microcode, or all of that was not questioned. I must say that we were not waiting for Intel to release new microcode to improve memory performance during any Intel processor generation, but there was nothing to compare it with except the earlier generations, whose lower memory speed performance was simply accepted. Kaby Lake was launched in Q1, 2017. That is a good two year span of DDR4 usage by Intel and the memory manufactures to get where they are today, plus what was learned by mother board manufactures. AMD jumped into DDR4 midstream with Ryzen in 2017, and is compared with Intel's and the memory manufacture's progress over two years+. It can be said AMD did better overall than Intel did with DDR4 speeds compared to Intel's first effort (X99) but AMD is competing in a different DDR4 world. I don't recall the same memory training issues we may experience with Ryzen in Intel's X99 system, but DDR4 3200 memory did not exist when X99 was released. AMD is being held to a different standard than Intel was with their first efforts with DDR4, so AMD has a much steeper mountain to climb.  ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">

Same as you guys, I've had little to no issues with my Ryzen R7 1700X, and Fatal1ty X370 Pro Gaming. The only actual issue I had, was inability to get the initial Trident Z 3200mhz C16 ram kit that I'd bought, running above 2400Mhz. But my FlareX 3200 kit went to 3200mhz without issue, even on BIOS 2.0. I too think the 1.0.0.6 update will be the last major agesa update for a while, since RAM compatibility on other manufacturers boards appear to be improved greatly with that code in current beta bios releases. The Trident Z kit I still have. Will most likely go into my mothers computer when I upgrade it to Ryzen based. Hopefully by the time I get to build it, the memory should be able to clock at full speed. ------------- https://valid.x86.fr/r12tls" rel="nofollow">

That's because AMD setup a specific partnership with Noctua. Notice that Corsair, Thermaltake, NZXT, Cooler Master (all much bigger names that Noctua) all had to ship brackets after launch. None of them had launch-ready products. ------------- https://valid.x86.fr/mlwde2" rel="nofollow">

ASROCK has REALLY slowed down on the BIOS releases since oh about the beginning of April IIRC. In march they were releasing betas left, right, and center now we're lucky to get one 'release' a month and TBH since 1.93D the 'releases' have been regressive for my case. I'm wondering whether I be getting my 1998X(or maybe the non-'X' IF they turn out like the lower end Ryzens) + ASUS ROG X399 BEFORE I see the fatal1ty 1.0.0.6 AGESA UEFI at this snail pace... yes I/O is too paltry for me on these low-mid range Ryzen parts. FFS I have notebooks with similar I/O capabilities, and IIRC even Intel 'Z' series chipsets have more I/O let alone the 'X' series. [EDIT] To further this I think that the way things are now there is too little differentiation in the crowded low-mid range Ryzen lineup. The only REAL differences being price and core count. IMNHO the 6/8C 'X' series at least should've have 28 PCIe lanes and a chipset somewhere between X370 and X390/9, say X380. Make the 'X' chips worth something because as it is now they're not really worth the price of admission IMHNO over their non-'X' counterparts. [/EDIT] |

You may not have to 'tinker' with it all that much. You may just need to get a little more familiar with your memory sticks. Such as familiar with various timings, FSB to DRAM ratio, voltage and such. Many get these from CPU-z, though Aida 64 may be more useful to you(at least it is to me). Once you find out the timings for your memory(Corsair Vengeance LPX), write them down and 'input' them manually at the Bios screen for 'OC Tweaker' after selecting the speed you wish to try. Such as 2400mhz,2666mhz or whatever. You will likely have some measure of success, after some reboots from the trial and error method. Otherwise, you are correct, you can just wait as well... Choice is up to you. |

Of course a specific partnership isn't needed, just sharing basic information. As you noted, layout and placement of the holes are important. What about mounting height? Min/Max screw/back-plate/bracket tension? Min/max pressure on the socket/CPU? I have no idea what info is required to design and manufacture a socket bracket, but I'm confident it is more than just socket layout and placement of the mounting holes. I absolutely believe that if AMD had simply shared more information about AM4 mounting requirements earlier, more manufacturers would have ready. We will never how much information was actually shared because no one will say anything. It is also possible that as part of the Noctua partnership, AMD was required to withhold that information until a specific date, thus making Noctua the only option at launch. This type of business deal is fairly common. ------------- https://valid.x86.fr/mlwde2" rel="nofollow">

Many thanks for the beta BIOS link. Given that I've been one of the "unlucky" ones who has found themselves with Hynix RAM and unable to boot at anything higher than 2400 I thought I might give this beta a test run. I defaulted my old BIOS (2.30), rebooted into Windows, downloaded the beta BIOS and whacked in on a USB stick, rebooted and installed all without issue. After the BIOS install I checked all the BIOS settings, lots of new RAM timings available, and booted into Windows using the BIOS defaults, so far, so good. Next step was to restart, go into the BIOS, set my RAM to use the XMP profile, save changes and hold my breath........ SUCCESS!!!!! My PC booted first time straight into Windows where I could confirm that the RAM was indeed running at its advertised XMP profile settings of 3200 @ 16-18-18-38-1T  Happy days. Now I'm off to have a better look through the BIOS to see what exactly has been exposed and do some benchmarking to see what sort of improvements higher speed RAM offers me - so far a quick Cinebench and Geekbench run have shown some increases, so all looks very promising. |

some points to note from what ive been reading now about agesa 1006 overall a VAST improvement for xmp users (eg fit-click-work ) ability to make the cheaper ram kits hit there design speed (eg hynix chips) improvement on the cold boot cycling issues ( eg command rate 2t and other less agressive timings) and now something else to note from several users trying to max the ram overclocks at least three reports on one reddit thread about a memory hole/gap at 3200 sucessfully passed by trying for the 3300ish or 3400ish speed (eg good at 2933, fail at 3200, but good again at 3333/3400) so something to bear in mind (eg maybe you parsec with your flare 3200 kit) if its not happy at 3200 at least try the next speed up/higher to see if your suffering the memory hole as and when of course the agesa 1006 bios comes out for your model boards ------------- [url=https://valid.x86.fr/jpg250] [/url]3800X, powercolor reddevil vega64, gskill tridentz3866, taichix370, evga750watt gold |
