Thanks for sharing your findings
I know it may seem that the lower tier boards get less love but that is not the case.
We are seeing issues on all boards from all manufacturers using AGESA 1.0.0.6. I think a lot of people overestimate how unique a UEFI is to any given manufacturer. The UEFI is the firmware for the motherboard and it's components. Manufacturers are provided with a base firmware by AMD or intel then customize it and add functionality for additional controllers (LAN, IO controllers etc). This base is the same across all manufacturers with each adding to/altering it to suit their products.
Ultimately the best the manufacturer can do with a core UEFI package is fine tune and add to it. The base code often proprietary and not accessible for changes.
So, my point here is that some of the features we may want on a particular chipset based board may be restricted by the chipset manufacturer not the board partner. I don't know if this holds true with AMD but I know it does with intel. When board partners find a workaround to add a feature that should not exist on say an H110 chipset board, intel will most often put it's foot down and demand it be removed. AMD and intel make different chipsets to address different markets, if workarounds are added to allow functionality not intended for a particular chipset then it eats into profit margins and causes problems, like compatibility issues. Allowing overclocking on a non overclocking chipset can potentially cause major issues/hardware failure because it has not been tested with or designed for that configuration.
This is not a defense for ASRock, I am just sharing some factoids regarding how these things work. I do hope ASRock will add some more functionality to the lower tier B350 boards, they have done things like this in the past, even risking the ire of Intel by adding overclocking to low tier chipset boards. I guess what I am saying is that ASRock often pushes the envelope with it's products. They will probably want to work out all the kinks first before adding more that could go wrong Time will tell.
