" rel="nofollow - Hello, i've updated my Bios on my Taichi X399 from 1.70 to 1.80. Everything works fine, like with the other bios updates before. On the ASRock site the bios 1.80 has the description: Update to AGESA 1.0.0.4 But after the update tools like AIDA or HWinfo showing me: AMD AGESA Version: ThreadRipperPI-SP3r2-1.0.0.3. So i'm a little bit confused about that, because i thought with 1.80 AGESA would be updated to 1.0.0.4? Marcus |

" rel="nofollow - Not good, OceanBlue72. What method of flashing did you use? You should ONLY use Instant Flash from the BIOS - NEVER Windows. After flashing did you boot back into BIOS and do F9 (Load UEFI Defaults) and F10 (Save Changes and Exit). Open a Hex Editor and look at address 0xE43E30. I see SummitPI-SP3r2-1.0.0.4. What you are seeing is exactly what I see in AIDA64 with 1.70 installed. Please let us hear. Thanks and enjoy, John. ------------- Fat1 X399 Pro Gaming, TR 1950X, RAID0 3xSamsung SSD 960 EVO, G.SKILL FlareX F4-3200C14Q-32GFX, Win 10 x64 Pro, Enermx Platimax 850, Enermx Liqtech TR4 CPU Cooler, Radeon RX580, BIOS 2.00, 2xHDDs WD |

" rel="nofollow - I always use instant flash within the bios plus after flashing i've load uefi default, save and exit and then making my settings. The tools showing me the right bios version, but the older AGESA version. By searching with a hex editor - did you mean the bios file? Marcus |

Yes, OceanBlue72. Sorry, I did a poor job of communicating. Please check the hash codes of your extracted 1.80 BIOS update: Here are mine for FGP board. I will DL the Taichi and post then in an Edit shortly:
Thanks and enjoy, John. EDIT: Taichi hash codes:
EDIT again: The Taichi file I DLed has the wrong AGESA version number in it or is the wrong file. I would strongly advise you to flash back to 1.70 ASAP! No telling what you have! Please open a ASRock ticket and report this. ------------- Fat1 X399 Pro Gaming, TR 1950X, RAID0 3xSamsung SSD 960 EVO, G.SKILL FlareX F4-3200C14Q-32GFX, Win 10 x64 Pro, Enermx Platimax 850, Enermx Liqtech TR4 CPU Cooler, Radeon RX580, BIOS 2.00, 2xHDDs WD |

" rel="nofollow - OceanBlue72, I just DLed the copy on US site and it is the same. Do you have a response from Support yet? You should know before us. Almost all of us are users not ASRock employees and have no special information. You can DL the latest on your site and see if it has changed. I hope they will change the BIOS version number - very bad practice not to have a new version.

I was sent beta v1.71 by ASRock for the Taichi X399, which also says AGESA 1.0.0.3. I had someone send me v1.71 for their board (X399 FPG) and it says 1.0.0.4. The reason I'm looking forward to this update so much is that I've seen 3 people now report that v1.71 fixed their 128GB memory issue with the X399 FPG, which is the same issue that I am having. However, updating to the latest BIOS for my board (v1.80), as well as the beta BIOS that they sent me (v1.71), neither have fixed the issue and I'm still stuck with a board that won't POST with 128GB memory. That leads me to believe that they screwed up somewhere when implementing AGESA 1.0.0.4 in the X399 Taichi, and it's not simply a matter of them simply forgetting to update some version identifier string. Of course, I've emailed ASRock regarding this issue, but I have yet to receive a response. Unfortunately, in my experience thus far, it seems that nobody responds to their support emails. It's been an incredibly frustrating experience dealing with these issues. |

You are correct, OceanBlue72, tech support can be very frustrating. It can work, though. Right now I have an active exchange with both ASRock and AMD about a RAID issue. I hope you are running your memory at nominal settings. If not, open the BIOS and hit F9 (Load UEFI Defaults) and F10 (Save and Exit). Perhaps you should open a thread on your memory POST problems. Please post your specifications in your signature as I have, including power supply and Windows version. By putting it in your signature, it automatically appears on all your pages and can be changed one time which updates all occurrences (old and new). There are several threads here about memory and several about 128 GB problems with lots of advice. Enjoy, John. ------------- Fat1 X399 Pro Gaming, TR 1950X, RAID0 3xSamsung SSD 960 EVO, G.SKILL FlareX F4-3200C14Q-32GFX, Win 10 x64 Pro, Enermx Platimax 850, Enermx Liqtech TR4 CPU Cooler, Radeon RX580, BIOS 2.00, 2xHDDs WD |

There is no updated bios version for download and until now i have no response from the ASRock support. I'm running my 64GB quad channel kit G.SKILL Trident F4-3200C14Q DDR4 since bios version 1.30 with the xmp profile at 3200MHz without any problems, the same for 1.50, 1.70 and 1.80.

Thanks, OceanBlue72, for the specifications. Sorry support is so bad for you. I have no response on one of mine, but it is a minor USB problem.

The ASRock Support from Netherlands has answered me and send me a new bios version 1.81 from his colleague in Taiwan. Wow! Now everything is perfect - the tools showing me the correct AGESA Version: AMD AGESA Version: ThreadRipperPI-SP3r2-1.0.0.4 This is really a great and direct customer support!

Thanks, OceanBlue for keeping us up. I am glad they at least changed the version number.

Do you think by chance you can send this BIOS to me? I've yet to receive a response from ASRock and I'd love to give it a try. |

For me it would be no problem to send the bios version, zipped size is only 5,5mb. But i'm not sure if it's allowed by ASRock to do this and i don't want to get in any trouble. I have no experience in that. So i would appreciate a "official" statement. Otherwise i could ask ASRock by myself.

OceanBlue72, I can understand your hesitance, but your chances of getting any "official" statement here is very low - almost all of us including the moderators are users as you. I would suggest you ask the support person who sent it to you.
