" rel="nofollow - Hi

I just want to know what bios version is best currently for users with g.skill flare x 3200 ram? I currently am still using the bios version the board shipped with (1.60) and it has been fine, I can get my ram running at 3200 with xmp profile in the bios, except when I have to restart my pc because I installed something or updated something it will get the F9 error code and boot loop a few times then turn my xmp off and put it back to auto. What is the best bios I can download for it as of now so I don't get this issue

I have the X370 Taichi with Flare X 3200MHz. Have updated each release from 2.00 to 3.00 where all my problems were resolved. Still waiting to see if something useful will be released on newer versions but so far I'm staying with 3.00.

You definitely want to flash to any of the newer BIOSes listed on the MB's DL page.

Clearing the BIOS prior, you can simply downflash to an earlier release if needed/wanted.

bios version 3.1 here
ive run every bios since 1.50
my ram has always run xmp without problem

if your getting boot issues try any of or all of these suggestions

turn soc volts upto 1.1 volts
turn ram volts upto 1.375 volts
turn ON amd boot training

to be fair using bios 3.0 or 3.1 should actually have a pretty good chance flarex is smooth running by now

If I enable xmp then exit my bios I boot up the pc and it runs fine but if I have to restart I get caught in the f9 error loop

So can I play around with the volts and run xmp?

set it to xmp

and then

scroll down to soc volts
set to fixed
set voltage to 1.1000
set the soc LLC to level 2

set dram volts to 1.375
make sure amd boot training is set to auto

then save and exit reboot to windows
shut down windows /pc system off
go make a cup of tea
come back switch on pc and see if it now boots properly

but before you do this at least try one of the later bios versions that has extra attention to the ram timings and compatability

I'm on 3.0 now and my ram is still funny with xmp. It loops maybe 3 times on a reboot but doesn't disable the ram oc

Turn off/Disable Memory Training.

Check after that it's stable and still boots. This time w/o the three default Training cycles.

Post back please.

Yes this will be the next thing I try after work tomorrow. Is turning off boot training safe?

Yea.

You say Boot Training isn't changing the memory parameters(OC) anyways. Disabling it then will have no effect other that to speed booting.

as above ^

ive spent most of my time with the taichi with memory training OFF
it will boot my preset xmp fine like this

mine is now ON due to trying to find a suitable and stable ram overclock

think of it literally

boot training = making a few background attempts to use the ram at user defined settings

if the ram is on the very safe side of stable theres no need for it
