" rel="nofollow - I've been testing 1.0.0.6 for two weeks now on my X370 Killer SLI/ac. It's not stable. Well, not completely stable. The DRAM additions have a few issues that need ironed out yet. Which, to be fair, is expected seeings the AM4 BIOS is still maturing. 1.0.0.6 is/was(?) a monstrous step in the right direction. Sadly, it's still problematic. I don't foresee many if any manufacturers releasing it. Stay tuned.

A Road Map would need provided by AMD themselves. The New AGESA 1.0.0.6 thread here mimics my experiences using the seven kits of DDR4 I have. It, 1.0.0.6, just isn't the release manufacturers want to give Users, hence many releasing BETAs with it instead of actual releases. To temporarily quell the masses. I too had high hopes, and still do. |

Pretty much echos the sentiment of some Users in the "New AGESA 1.0.0.6" thread. The DRAM tweaks intro'd in it are still a wee bit problematic. Some Users see better and many call it a step back. Ryzen, last I knew, looked at what was programmed into/onto the SPD chip to use. Unfortunately, many sticks only have two "speed' timings programmed whereas again many have 3 and 4 programmed onto their SPD chip. On two heretofore unnamed brand kits with only two SPD timings things got wierd. Yet with one kit with twp in SPD it did as was expected. The kits I have that have 4 programmed fared better. |

I'm hearing what you're saying but to me this is more of an end user learning curve problem rather than a stability issue. Each user now has access to a multitude of settings and potentially RAM profiles that weren't previously available. While some profiles may not work it's a case of working through each until you find one that does, or alternatively tweak RAM settings individually for those inclined to do so. Granted this is not ideal for people who are not overly computer literate, but it does bring better RAM compatibility. |

Awwww ...... Now you've gone and done it. Did you just use "end user" and "learning curve" in the same sentence? But I believe that is hitting the nail on its head. Most Users are either plug-n-play. Then the nits that attempt to copy someones settings off a forum thread and then scratch their head and whine. Here in what we are discussing, it has to work for both. |

I should add. After "playing' for hours on end with two Hynix kits I ran them through the wringer finding speed and timings that played nice I (re-)(over-)wrote their SPD programming with these findings onto their SPD chips using Thaiphoon Burner with mixed success. Now. Were the numbers I programmed in a total success? No, yet doing so did provide some not previously "discovered' by Ryzens mem training routine speeds and timings that weren't available before re-programming the SPD chip. Though, that/those results could have been anecdotal too. YMMV |

Clarification: To my specific system and maybe more so the memory kits used the results may be anecdotal that is. Hence YMMV |

| After finally getting a chance to test 2.36 on my Pro Gaming board I echo wardog's sentiments regarding the BIOS. Once flashed I was able to get 3600 (3600CL16 TridentZ kit) to post using the XMP profile, but it quickly went down hill from there. I tried all of the higher dividers with 20-20-20-2T timings, 1.45v, and 1.2v SOC with no luck. 3600 no longer posted after reverting back to default values and then loading the XMP profile. I could get 3200 to post and boot into windows but when I applied my 4GHz OC, the computer would hang on a boot code I didn't recognize. I had to flash back to 2.3 to be functional again at 4GHz 1.42v and 3200 14-14-14-1T 1.4v, 1.2SOC. |

For my curiosity Ben, do you remember that error code? And Welcome to the forum. |
Posted By: BenRichards
Date Posted: 03 Jun 2017 at 2:07am
Thanks! I plan on flashing again tonight and tinkering around now that the work week is coming to an end; I'll follow up with the code. It was strange though since the board didn't try to cycle itself after a failed attempt, it was just indefinitely frozen. For the most part I would get F9 and be able to get back into the BIOS to change settings. However this required clearing CMOS and doing a reboot.

| The codes seem to be whatever one it lands on when it freezes when initializing. So far it's been 03, 1F, and 11. I did however get 3466 stable at 14-14-14-2T with Geardown disabled, so I got that going for me at least. |

" rel="nofollow - Actually happy to find here someone to share my experience with! I've gone trough a lot of phases testing 2.34 before and 2.36 after on my X370 TAICHI with my 1600 and CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 CL15-17-17 v5.30 Hynix M single. Spent A LOT of time on these bioses. Time wasted. First times I booted at 3066 cl16 or even 3200 I was tasting the victory. I was wrong. 2.34 noticeably had problems syncing dram timings in OC page with Dram timing configuration in AMD submenu in advanced. Manual timings couldn't even being applied correctly, it was basically trash, but let forsee some potential. 2.36 better, no sync problems. But his behaviour is "not scientific". I cannot reproduce same results everytime. I've pleayed with almost every new settings, including CLDO_VDDP, Geardown and powerdown modes, command rates and ProcODT . Simply not getting a clear scheme. My best case with my sticks was 3200 CL 18-18-18-38 with timings borrowed from Asus Crosshair VI timings with the help of some guys with same stick as mine who was running 3200 CL16 flawlessy on his Crosshair agesa 1.0.0.6 beta (enough said..) but that with SoC 1.2v, dram at 1.43 (1.5v in windows) so waaaay more than what was needed IMHO. ProcODT working better were 48ohms and 53.3 ohms but never had full stability (problems sometimes in memtest DOS, sometimes in HCI, sometimes in GSAT, sometimes powerdowns). I have experienced too a lot of new error codes, wich found to be PCH and Memory related. Also some 00 codes at stock frequencies or OC that I know my CPU is capable of. I have even tried to input manually every (I mean Every single!) timing totally avoiding XMP reading. The most important facts that made me SAD : Not only I gained pratically nothing in AIDA and Maxmemm test going from 2933 to 3200 but most importantly GENERAL PERFORMANCES OF 1.0.0.6 BETAS ARE A COMPLETE MESS. Take for example BATTLEFIELD 1, with 2.34-2.36 @ default 2933 there is lag everywhere. It's like data are not properly transmitted among Cpu-Ram-PCIEX (same conditions, gpu utilization down from 85-90% to 72% almost fixed WTF? ) something not right. And it is clearly visible in Firestrike Physics score too. Not able to get over 55 fps on the physics only. Regarding SPD, I was beginning to think about buying Thaiphoon to do the same you thought. Writing proper manual timings on a separate profile.
The point is that I don't have an Intel platform to actually verify what the sticks are capable of to be sure the custom-xmp would work properly on the best case scenario, but most importantly, based on what I've seen in these betas, It would have been simply not worth the hassle. I'm back to stable 2.34 STRONGLY HOPING that asrock engineers have some hynix M chips and got the same feedback as mine. If any of you here are reading this, please report to asrock engineers . Something is not right in communication between CCXs, RAM and PCIEX . I don't know what. But I am losing performance at the exact same settings as 2.30 agesa 1.0.0.4 bios. |

While i was secretly expecting the Agesa 1.0.0.6 in this bios. (in the secret goal to make my ram works in the XMP Profile) as you said it, the agesa make the system unstable, so do you think we will see this agesa one day or they stop working on better bios now ? |

The UEFI on all AM4 boards is still under development, both by AMD and manufacturers. Rest assured, whatever issues AGESA 1.0.0.6 has will likely be ironed out, either by AMD or by manufacturers. We will either see a 1.0.0.7 or a vendor level fix. I don't have any details other than it is being worked on by ASRock and AMD both. It will, like all things, take time. Bare in mind however that AMD is not like intel, the AM4 platform will likely be compatible with several processor generations. This means that your board will serve you for quite some time to come  -------------

But Motherboard troubles (I get 4 motherboard for my 2600K, at the end, i was tired), and the joke by intel on the consummers to not do nothing during 6 years convince me to try AMD.

You don't verify what they'll do on an Intel system. Why would you???????? It is painstakingly done on the system they are to run on. Verify on the Ryzen system you have. It's slow arduous and tedius. With you becoming very VERY familiar with reaching for the Reset switch, and clearing the CMOS |

| " rel="nofollow - I assume no beta bios for the AB350M Pro4? My only other beef with that board is the fact that you cannot edit LLC (load line control) assuming it has it, which it seems like it does. And SOC voltage cannot be changed and it appears that the second system fan header has no control as well. I assume it defaults to the settings system fan 1 uses but I cannot verify. |

" rel="nofollow - Can someone tell me where I can report BIOS bugs? I have been testing the beta BIOS for the x370 Pro Gaming L2.36, and it still has the exact same RAM OC bug that the latest stable BIOS has L2.30. It would be nice if I can report this now before Asrock finalizes the BIOS, because this bug makes memory overclocking a real pain. I almost RMA'd my board because I though it was broken until this bug was pointed out to me in an overclocking video somewhere. IIRC that guy was on a 1.xx version of the Taichi BIOS so this bug has been around for a while. I'm also going to post the bug here so that people on the forum and googling around can find this and be aware of this issue. This bug is present on the latest stable BIOS and the latest beta BIOS. This bug effects the X370 Pro Gaming and the x370 Taichi IIRC. When memory overclocking, if you choose any speed or setting that is unstable and will not pass post. You MUST clear CMOS to apply ANY memory settings or it will never pass post outside of the default memory speeds (in my case DDR4 2400). Even if you apply memory settings that you know for a fact are stable, and have passed post before. It will never pass post until you clear CMOS after failing post during the retries. For example: You set 3600MHz as your memory speed, it doesn't pass post. After the retries it resets back to default. Go right into the BIOS when it boots up after the retries. You enable the XMP profile, you will still not pass post ever. Even if you have booted with the XMP profile before. The board just gets stuck in this loop until you clear CMOS or reset to default settings in the BIOS and reboot without changing anything. If requested I can record a short video showing this, incase this doesn't make sense. It was a bit difficult for me to articulate this issue. As you can imagine this makes memory overclocking a serious pain in the ass. As I found out last night. Hopefully we can get this fixed soon. |

Also played tens of hours in different games. No cold boot issues, no crashes. 1700 @ 3900 and 1.35v. Seems pretty stable for me.

I've actually found the beta UEFI 2.36 for the Fatal1ty Pro Gaming to be perfectly stable. I've been able to run 2 DIMMs of my 4 DIMM kit at 3200 14-16-16-16-36 since UEFI 1.5 (AGESA 1.0.0.3). The beta 2.36 UEFI (AGESA 1.0.0.6) is the first UEFI where I have been able to do the same with all four installed. Previously I was limited to 2667 with all four DIMMs installed. It has been perfectly stable for days with no issues. I'm actually nervous about flashing to the full release UEFI when it becomes available. https://community.amd.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/105-14590-121630/pastedImage_0.png" rel="nofollow - https://community.amd.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/105-14590-121630/pastedImage_0.png https://community.amd.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/105-14590-121637/pastedImage_1.png" rel="nofollow - https://community.amd.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/105-14590-121637/pastedImage_1.png https://community.amd.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/105-14590-121638/pastedImage_2.png" rel="nofollow - https://community.amd.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/105-14590-121638/pastedImage_2.png |

If the beta is working perfectly for you, don't bother updating. You will gain nothing and could lose your stability if something is changed. I am on the 2.34 BIOS for my Taichi and have my 3600 kit running at 3333 without issue. My 2800 kit also runs flawlessly with this BIOS version (AGESA 1.0.0.6). Over all the board is running brilliantly so far. I have my 1600x running at 4.05ghz at 1.39v LLC lvl 1 in conjunction with the 3333 RAM. -------------

I am also having RAM issues. I didn't bother trying the OC the processor yet. Asrock Fatal1ty X370 Gaming K4 Memory is EVGA Super SSC DDR4-3200 (not on the QVL list, though I think they are relabeled G.Skill). On previous BIOS I can select XMP and then manually change from 3200 to 2933. Everything runs fine, no issues whatsoever. Rock solid stable. On the new BIOS (2.5 with AGESA 1.0.0.6) memory will not run above 2133. I had to downgrade BIOS back to 2.2, where everything works fine at 2933. This worries me a bit since I will be locked out of any future microcode updates unless I downgrade my memory speed.

Gaming 4 Fatality installed agesa 1006, after much fafing about still didnt get 3200mhz to work... -loosening timings -cas 1 cas2, geardown -ohm adjustments -voltages adjustments. This is on G.Skill F4-3200 C14 8GTZR which is samsung b die. However 3066 does work at the CL14 -14 -14 -34 1 T needed 1.45v to boot consistantly ( also makes rbg ram lighting a tad brighter i think ) :D and cinebench score went from 1730 to 1774 @ 4025Mhz. 2993 before 3066 after. so it is an improvment. If it is detectable in cinebench which dosn't benefit much from ram speed, then it is probably a bigger increase in gaming. I also tried 3333 and 3466Mhz with no luck. If anyone with this board can get 3200mhz worknig I would be really interested. |

I'm doing tests right now ;) EDIT: After 2 hours of aida64 the system looks stable .. CPU: R7 1700 3.8ghz 1.28vcore Ram Settings: xmp profile 15 (CAS bug is present, set to 16) -15-15 - 35 1.35 Vdram 1.1v_soc Ram Gskill Ripjaws 3200mhz cl15 A tip for all users who have instability with cl15 manually set the CAS to 16 and try if it is stable .. Initially the cas (with the XMP profile) was set correctly (15) but it was not stable ... because of the fake-boots .. after some attempts i put the cas to 16 manually and got the stability. I hope this helps :) EDIT2: With 3200 mhz there is a slight instability, firefox and other applications stop working >.> Now i'm testing 14-14-14-34 1.35v 3066mhz (looks stable) |

Well, I updated to 2.40. I've actually been able to push things even further. 3333 MHz at CL14 using four single rank DIMMS.   I've run the Gears4 benchmark at various different memory speeds, leaving everything else unchanged. All the results with 2 DIMMS were run with the 1.5 (AGESA 1.0.0.3 UEFI). The two 32 GB scores were run with the 2.4 (AGESA 1.0.0.6) UEFI. The large jump between 3200 two DIMMs and 3200 four is likely due to RAM latency improvements introduced in the later AGESA releases.

Pretty awesome new update. X370 Killer SLI/ac running a 16Gb set of Trident z RGB (F4-3000C15D-16GTZR) So far I've gotten 2666 to work whereas 2400 was all I could get before. Running 1.36v 16-16-16-35 (XMP profile settings) SOC at 1.1v. Haven't changed any of the other settings.. (What does "Gear down mode" and "power down enable" even do?) Haven't tried playing with anything else to get 2933 to work yet. I have my R5 1600 running at 3.7 @ 1.265v also, and saw a pretty good hike in my Cinebench scores. Question though.. In my BIOS/UEFI (X370 Killer Sli/ac) I have no LLC settings for the CPU voltage. I am for a fact updated to BIOS 2.5, and just double checked my chipset drivers (if that even has anything to do with it). Other users have those settings, but I do not.

Didn't have any luck with this update. I have am350 pro 4 with ryzen 1600 and 3000mhz corsair vengeance cl15. I hoped to get it to 2933 but it wouldn't post. It would only post at 2133 with the 2.60 update. They also took away the option to leave XMP settings on auto while being able to change the dram frequency. Went back to update 2.50 which will run my ram at 2667 with auto XMP. I guess the wait continues to get my ram to its rated speed. |

Disable both of these if you have RAM compatibility issues. "Gear down mode" seems to be related to Samsung chips only and allows T1 command rate to slow down to T2 in cases where it's needed. Just disable it and run your sticks at their recommended command rates. "Power down enable" seems to be for low-power setups where it allows the DRAM to power down. Not required on a desktop. I have a 16GB kit of Corsair Vengeance LPX (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16). The new UEFI on my Fatal1ty X370 Gaming K4 allowed my kit to boot at XMP (16/18/18/36) settings at 3200MHz. However, it's very unstable. Forcing the command rate to T2, disabling Gear Down Mode and Power Down Enable made it slightly more stable, but DOOM crashes almost instantly. Dropped the speed to 3066 on the exact same settings and it seems a little more stable. Really hope for a more stable update next time. I really wish I can use my RAM properly and it seems SOOO close.

Me too. After literally weeks I've finally come to understand this F4-4133C19D-16GTZA 4133MHz Kit. Today, 14-14-14-34 3300 1.250vDIMM and got some pop-up errors. No BSOD's just odd ball pop-ups. I have to go in and I hope simply raise the vDIMM as I had forgotten of lowering it while I was testing one of many these past few days. Last night and today I was dicking with keeping timings, MHz, and voltages as low as I could w/o BSODing. I believe I know have a handle on those three, plus CAS. Shooting today for 3600+ 1.30-1.325 CAS 15 or 16 |

As i see some RAMs which was working fine on 300-3200 now dont work, some what was not working are able to OC... Thats why would be nice from Asrock to Improve and Fill the very old QVL lists on his B350/X370 mainboards... I think most people are interested on 3000+ RAM modules as on the modules with 4x8GB and 2(4)x16 GB modules on highs speed. At the moment the Memory QVL was not updated since ages, which makes this mainboards not a verz good choice atm. Great mainbords with lack of information..... sadly

With 2.4 I couldn't get my memory to boot at any speed (But I did like how the timings could be set at xmp profil on main OC page and not have to dig into the bios to find timings) I couldn't get it to boot with = setings at all so had to go back to bios 2.3 and everything just worked |

Don't worry. You are not the only one. The taichi 2.40 (1.0.0.6) bios is a complete mess. Asrock probably rushed it out to be firsts, but they did a complete mess. 2.30 simply works. 2.40 has drafts of what they could do with new agesa.

with G.Skill Ripjaws V F4-3200C16D-16GVGB here, super-weird experience.
Before update, I had it running at 2400, but couldn't boot any higher. After BIOS update, booted fine at 3200, but wasn't stable. Games crashed (Overwatch, Rocket League) and AIDA64 memory stability test immediately threw an error. Fine, started stepping speeds down. Cannot boot until I get allll the way down to 2133. WTF, I try going back up to 2400, it's fine. It's fine all the up to 3066, but 3200 is still unstable. After a couple of loops I determine I can run at 3066, but only after resetting to 2133 after any problems. What problems you say? Well, if I reboot with 3066 set, it fails training 3x (I set it down to 3 to save time) and falls back to 2133. I can THEN reboot and set it back to 3066, but it will not boot twice in a row at that speed. Note I had to set voltage to 1.4V to get anything above 2133 to be stable, unlike previous BIOS where the XMP-set 1.35V was fine. This is extremely confusing. It's technically better than previous since I CAN run stable at 3066, but, wtf. |

I've tried the 2.60 bios for the AB350 K4. With GSkill Ripjaws 4 (F4-3000C15-GRBB) I seem to be running well at 2933 MHz. I hadn't tried pushing it past 2133 MHz earlier aside from seeing it fail with the default XMP bios setting, so it is hard to say how much improvement there is, but I am fairly happy right now. |

Well, it's always the manufacturer of the motherboard and not the manufacturer of the Chipsets/CPU that's at fault..... Come now wardog ;) Anyway...I can still hit 2933 on my Gaming K4, so no worse than before, but no better...I am not reverting..I see no point, since I still get what I got before. Then again, if you look at the specs on this motherboard, it clearly states that 2933MHz is the max memory will do ...so if I ever get my 3200MHz to do 3200MHz, I'll consider myself lucky! ------------- X99X Fata1ity 5930k 16GB Crucial 1200W Corsair evga GTX 1080 Samsung 950 Pro |

This, "DDR4 2933+ (OC)" or "DDR4 3200+ (OC)" - the plus sign... It seems to me that it' considered as "or more", but max supported OC speed is the one stated. Otherwise why put a "plus" sign at the end, right... Ok, we are still not there, getting closer, but by this I mean that number should not be a hard limit for everyone :) There are reports of Taichi owners which got their memory to 3400 or more while on spec sheet it clearly states - 3200 +, so... I hope I'm not wrong and will get my 3200 up to rated speed some day :) Currently 2800 seem to work for me since 1.0.0.6 (Gaming K4). |

I agree with you in the last part. They did release one with 1.0.0.6 and that's a good thing. And yes, for some people with Samsung B-Die and even D-Die works even better than 1.0.0.4 ! But Asrock can't really worsen what was running good on 2.30 1.0.0.4 instead it seems so in my Hynix system and in many others (look over forum threads on the net) IMHO it could have been better to call this 2.40 for what it is, a beta. And release a final "STABLE" version only when this was sorted out and properly tested. IMHO it just lacked a deep base of testing, and it was like this also on the pre-2.30 bios wich was clearly not tested because settings just reverted itself oddly at every change trying to OC.

AGESA 1.0.0.6 is an all or nothing addition. ASRock is not writing the code for it so they can't just snip the best of 1.0.0.4 and hybridize the 2 to create the perfect UEFI. What 1.0.0.6 fixes for some it breaks for others. If we could just take the best bits of the bunch (AGESA versions) then maybe we would have a stable UEFI for everyone by now but we have to wait for AMD to gather the data and release the next iteration. ASRock is working hard to fix these issues but they can only do so much, most of the issues stem from the AGESA code itself. If this were not the case we would not be seeing such massive changes from one version to the next. I guess we all just have to be patient and stick with whatever UEFI version works best for us. -------------

There's not not much Gray Area that I let slide silently. Most of these are mere growing pains with Ryzen. AMD has made us Guinea Pigs in their rush to quash Intel. It's that some of us have more patience than others and I'm ok with that. Yea, it's hard to sit here and read some posts some days. Most, most not all, of these User/BIOS/Memory issues need fixes from the top, that being AMD. |
