Okay, I just got all my parts in last week, got my build finished on Monday, and just yesterday started fiddling with the BIOS settings and overclocks. I updated to Bios 2.4 before I made any changes to anything via instant flash over a USB drive. That went fine. But then I noticed when looking through my settings that I do not have an LLC setting. I've seen screenshots of where it SHOULD be, but in my BIOS I have no such setting. I reset to defaults a few times and reflashed the 2.4 BIOS (Freshly downloaded and extracted) just to make sure that I wasn't messing something up. I've asked users on other forums and a few of them say they DO have it, and a few say they do NOT have it. Am I just missing a setting somewhere, or do I have an extremely curious case of technical glitchery? Heres a few shots of my various settings tabs/pages. You can see that "Load Line Calibration" does not exist. http://imgur.com/a/hs0FP" rel="nofollow - http://imgur.com/a/hs0FP Setup Ryzen 1600 (Current OC 3.7 @ 1.275v) Stock Wraith cooler 16Gb G.Skill Trident Z RGB CL15 3000Mhz (running at 2400 currently) Sapphire Nitro RX 470 8Gb Under full load, Hwinfo shows a core voltage of between 1.225 and 1.231 with a minimum of 1.212 (at idle 1.262v) - Under full load CPUz shows a core voltage of 1.248. If someone could shed some light on this for me I would REALLY appreciate it. ------------- If I say I know what I'm doing, will you believe me? |

Did you Try look under Ram settings in OC Tweaker section, they should be there.

It is the same on my Killer sli/ac on P2.40. According to this review it DID have LLC at some point https://www.servethehome.com/asrock-x370-killer-sliac-motherboard-review-sleek-ryzen-workstation-platform/" rel="nofollow - https://www.servethehome.com/asrock-x370-killer-sliac-motherboard-review-sleek-ryzen-workstation-platform/ No matter though as the offset still work's but I ended up being prime95 stable for 8 hours @ 3.9MHz @ 1.35v on my 1700 without it. With the Vcore offest set to +65mv Vcore would go as high as 1.41v under load but I would have issues cold booting under 1.35v so I just set it to 1.35v. Try setting the Vcore offset to +65mv and backing off your Vcore until you can cold boot and still be stable at load.

Thanks for the repiles guys. I just updated to 2.5 today, and I have some new settings, but still no LLC. Here's some shots of the BIOS http://imgur.com/a/X2wd4" rel="nofollow - http://imgur.com/a/X2wd4 From what I've seen it seems like half the Killer sli/ac users HAVE LLC settings, half don't. Quite a conundrum. I'm going to try to get some more info from asrock themselves. Albinorhino, yes, I loaded UEFI Defaults before updating and after (both times, since i just updated to 2.4 the other day and 2.5 today) Kboxvegas, so the "Vcore voltage offset" is basically manual LLC? With my OC 3.7Ghz @ 1.2625v SOC 1.1v and now RAM at 2666 (so far) thanks to the new update, I idle at the 1.2625 but drop to 1.212 (dipped to 1.206 at one point) under load, Temps up to 80C after 30 minutes of aida64. Stable though. Just seems like a good bit of droop, and I feel like if I could stabilize it I could run lower voltages and get a stable OC, which should keep temps at idle down, as well as under load. Current idle temps aren't that bad actually sitting at 31c right now browsing Chrome, but I also have the CPU fan set to full speed all the time untill I get a better cooler. ------------- If I say I know what I'm doing, will you believe me? |

Hippie. BIOS 2.50 does have both LLC settings. I think what is happening is folks aren't using Load UEFI Defaults and rebooting BEFORE flashing. Considering the major changes in 2.50 this wouldn't surprise me to be the cause. Do me a favor please. Redown the 2.50 BIOS from the website, do the Load UEFI Defaults, reboot, and re-flash 2.50 you redownloaded please and report back. |

I've had LLC options for VCore and SOC voltage for quite a while with my X370 Killer SLI/ac board. At least with the last three UEFI versions. Granted, those two options are not shown with Auto/default UEFI settings in OC Tweaker, but it does not take much for them to be shown. All I do is change CPU VCore Voltage from Auto to Offset or Fixed, and the CPU Load-Line Calibration option immediately appears. The same is true for the VDDCR_SOC Voltage option:  I'm not aware of another option setting in OC Tweaker that causes either of the LLC options not appear. All I can see of your CPU Vcore Voltage setting is that it seems to be in Offset mode, since I can see the Offset Voltage value shown below it, otherwise it is not included in your screenshot. What method are you using to update the UEFI? I only use Instant Flash. I'll also add that I've never flashed the UEFI using default UEFI settings, and have never had a problem. ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">

I've loaded defaults before updating the BIOS both times, when I updated to 2.4 AND when I updated to 2.5. I'll try it again but I already flashed 2.5 twice. I don't use the "V-core offset", I set my voltage and frequency manually. And I update via USB and instant flash. ------------- If I say I know what I'm doing, will you believe me? |

Yes, I am quite sure I have an X370 Killer SLI/ac board. I have the WiFi module included with the board. As said above, I did not get mine from Newegg. Your screenshot of the Voltage Configuration section is weird. For example, mine:  You know the following, but I'll review. Note my screenshot has a CPU Vcore Voltage option, while yours is Vcore Offset Voltage. If I select Offset as the CPU Vcore Voltage option, I get this:  How you have Vcore Offset Voltage as an option name is the weird thing, as you know. There should be no difference between the X370 Killer SLI and X370 Killer SLI/ac UEFI versions, plus you should not be able to flash the SLI/ac board to the SLI's UEFI, IF that made a difference. Please try this: go into the UEFI, Exit screen, and click the Load UEFI defaults option. First, save your current UEFI settings is a profile on the OC Tweaker screen. After clicking Load UEFI Defaults, Save and Exit the UEFI, don't skip that step, and then go right back into the UEFI and see what you now have on the OC Tweaker screen in the Voltage Configuration section. EDIT: Just noticed something in your screenshot. Do you have a Sapphire video card? ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">

" rel="nofollow - I'm almost out of ideas myself, very strange. It doesn't seem to be that way because you are using a Ryzen 5 processor, since wardog also uses a Ryzen 5 and said he has the LLC options. I know you've flashed the UEFI several times, which does most of what I will suggest, but you might as well try doing a full UEFI/BIOS NVRAM reset. Remove the board's battery, and use the CLR CMOS jumper, in the clear position, at the same time. Keep the battery out for at least ten minutes to allow any power from capacitors to discharge, and allow the NVRAM part of the UEFI chip to clear. Do you see any problems with the clock time in the UEFI or Windows? Like you set it correctly and then it is off later? That would indicate a bad battery. BTW, removing the battery will cause the time to be wrong. ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">

Nah, no problems like that. It really seems like I have a different BIOS somehow, despite apparently having the correct one. If it comes down to it I figured a clrcmos was the last thing to try. That just resets it to the stock way it was when I got it, correct?

Cleared CMOS... Twice. Still nothing. Would having my sapphire card cause a bug like this?? I have "Sapphire Boost" option in my BIOS, but I don't see that on other peoples BIOS screenshots. Maybe this is the cause? I've only turned it on once, but never saved and exited, but that still did not give me LLC settings. ------------- If I say I know what I'm doing, will you believe me? |

The latest 2.50 UEFI version displays the LLC options if I click on Load UEFI Defaults, or after a UEFI clear. In other words, it is the default option display currently. You are right datonyb, in the past with older UEFI versions, the LLC options would not be shown until the CPU VCore Voltage option was NOT set to Auto. But the OP does not even have the same option name for the VCore mode type selection. Currently with UEFI 2.50, it looks like this with all default/Auto options:  Since I don't have a Ryzen 5 processor, I can't personally verify that the LLC options are available when one is being used. wardog has a Ryzen 5 processor, and said the LLC options are there, so that is all I have left. If you can RMA the board, I would do so. If you've installed UEFI 2.50 using Instant Flash, and you still don't see the LLC options, I don't know what else to do. Otherwise, disable the Sapphire Boost option, which is only shown if a Sapphire card is in the PC, and see what happens. I don't get that option shown at all. Do you still get the "Vcore Offset Voltage" as the only option, in one of your earlier screenshots? ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">

Before I did RMA I'd pull the processor, check for proper seating and bent/missing pins. Assuming the processor isn't damaged, yea, RMA the board. |
Posted By: T3chHippie

Sapphire boost is disabled by default and left that way. Yes I still have the "Vcore offset voltage" which only gives me +/-mv adjustments or auto. This has to be something to do with my BIOS, I don't see how it could be anything else. Does anyone have sapphire boost and llc settings both show up in their BIOS'? I'd really prefer to NOT RMA my board. Being without my PC for x weeks is out of the question and I don't currently have enough money to buy another board. Wardog, Would bent CPU pins really even be a plausible cause for a BIOS setting to be different?? I'm sorry, I just really don't want to totally tear my PC down again, I just got it built a week ago. ------------- If I say I know what I'm doing, will you believe me? |

I just noticed this earlier response. Have you done the CLR CMOS procedure, including removing the board's battery? Yes, that would be the last thing to do, and doing this does not hurt anything, or cause you to reinstall Windows. I use the CLR CMOS jumper all the time, you should do it every time you change hardware, or even move it around to a different SATA port, PCIe slot, memory slot, etc. A super basic thing that is no big deal to deal with afterwards. You can save your UEFI/BIOS settings in a profile first, to restore them with a few clicks of the mouse. Otherwise it just sets every option in the UEFI to its default setting. Every time you install/update the UEFI, it is equivalent to a CLR CMOS procedure, EXCEPT for the removal of the battery. Removing the battery also clears the NVRAM in the UEFI/BIOS chip, the only way to erase it. If you don't do this, you cannot say you've tried everything, I am sorry to say. Just for my information, what UEFI/BIOS version came with the board? It is printed on a sticker that is on the UEFI/BIOS chip. This chip is just below the first PCIe x16 slot, just to the right of "SLI" printed on the board. Most likely covered by your video card.  I suggested an RMA because IMO, after all the things you've done, there's nothing else to do that will cause the LLC option to appear. Frankly it is more than that, you don't have the same Vcore option as we do, LLC is secondary to the CPU Vcore Voltage option. That is the main option that is missing. I would be surprised if an X370 board did not have an LLC option in the UEFI, even a cheaper model, which this board is not of that kind. ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">

" rel="nofollow - I did indeed remove the battery, 24 pin connector, power cable from the rear of the PSU, and swapped the jumper, left it that way for 10 minutes. My board says P2.40 - I took pictures of everything as I was putting it together. I understand how beneficial LLC is, I utilized it on my old board with my A10-6800k to push my OC. It's a bummer I don't have it, but I really don't think it would have anything to do with the board itself, I mean it could plausibly but it's just weird that I have different and additional settings, not just a lack of them. And as I said before, there are other people that have the same BIOS options/lack there of as I do. I'm curious as to why. Newer boards maybe?

Hippie, call the below number, tell them of this issue, and initiate an RMA. When you do the RMA, send ONLY the motherboard. No nothing else, just the mb in a suitably sized box and well packaged inside. Before sending it though, check over the CPU for bent/missing pins.

Wardog, thanks for the number man, I'll keep that in mind if I end up RMA'ing. But again, like I've said, I CAN NOT be without my computer even for two days so I'm most likely NOT going to RMA it. Power supply was just purchased a few months ago, Corsair Cx550M (updated version) 550w semi modular PSU. I literally JUST redid my cooler about a week ago and didn't see any bad pins. I feel like I'd have additional problems with my computer if I had bent CPU pins. I was just reading through the reviews on Newegg, apparently it WAS bios 2.4 that took LLC settings away from some users, and that's the BIOS my board shipped with. I'm going to see what 2.3 looks like/does to the board and see what's what. I will get to the bottom of this. It has to just be a software thing, because if it was hardware I'd be having additional problems. Thanks for the BIOS file Rhino, I'm gonna give it a shot.

New member here. i've been searching all over the net. OP, you are not alone. i bought from newegg and mine does not have LLC. funny thing is, the 2.3 version bios someone posted here DOES HAVE LLC. but i want agesa 1.0.0.6, so i updated to 2.5 after downgrading to 2.3. and POOF! no more LLC. i'm starting to get very frustrated with this board. And newegg has a replacement only policy. what a pile of manure. also, my trident Z rgb 3200 c16 does not work past 2133 no matter what i do. if i change any settings on memory i get no post with 3 successive BEEP codes (i always install a 4 pin speaker to my motherboards so i can pinpoint errors). been using asus boards for 20 years with the odd nforce and gigabyte. first time ASROCK. i really wwant to like this brand for all the features you get for the price. but jesus does it need to get FIXED. |

Wardog just informed me that Asrock got back to him and said that " it is not an error but rather a change in the components used on the newer revision boards. These new components are higher quality/higher cost, same specs, yet less prone to voltage droop and as such do not support LLC settings." ------------- If I say I know what I'm doing, will you believe me? |

thank you and wardog for the update. at least i can stop pursuing this topic. i'm a little bit sour i'm not going to lie. but then again, i paid $130 for it, can't complain since this is just a backup build i did to try out ryzen. currently my 1700 is rock solid at 3.9ghz. voltage still set at 1.325 (albeit jumping all over). again, appreaciate everyone who took the time to get us some answers. |

I'm going to see if I can flat out disable any and all LLC on my SLI/ac rev1.05 and 'play' without it at OC'ing to try and duplicate what rev1.05 Owners are saying/experiencing. If there's no way to disable LLC here I plan on asking ASRock for either a custom BIOS w/o LLC or that they send me a rev1.05 board. |

Sorry for the lapse. Let me know what happens, Wardog. I'm interested to see what you can make of it. lol My OC currently is set at 3.7Ghz @ 1.2650v which dips down to 1.212/1.206v under load, hitting like 80C with stress testing on the stock cooler. ------------- If I say I know what I'm doing, will you believe me? |

| Interesting and informative thread. I was wondering about this same issue, and it saved me a lot of searching in the BIOS. |

| I got this board from Newegg when it was just launched. It's rev 1.03 and always has LLC settings. Seems like they indeed changed something in rev 1.05. |
