Brick anecdotes abound concerning flashing, period. Add you can believe only a small portion of what get's posted to the 'net. ie: Is it as they posted, or is it more User Error If your system is running fine atm, there is no need to flash. BIOSes, fickle things they are, and flashing present a danger to even seasoned veterans. Me doing it here is to be able to provide forum support. My doing so here is commonplace and I accept the risk. It's just something I must do. Yet if a system is running fine, I always preach to leave well enough alone. It's not like you'll/they'll up some synthetic score by leaps and bounds in doing so. |

I appreciate that, but I do find it rather disturbing how (in my case) 4.20 was released only to be retracted, and that the ab350m already got a new bios *again* after 4.30 was released for it last week, with no indication as to why and what was changed/fixed. ------------- AB350 Pro4, Ryzen 1600, 3.8GHz@1.35625v, Vengeance LPX 4x8GB b3000c15 2666@1.35v |

I have an AB350 ITX-ac running an R3 1200, DDR 4 is 2400 and nothing is overclocked. The BIOS is 3.10 and it runs flawlessly. So no desire to upgrade the BIOS. I also have an X370 ITX-ac and have been saving this waiting for Ravenridge to install on it. This is on BIOS 3.00. I thought I would swap the 1200 etc from the AB350 and onto the X370, see it all runs ok and then when the Ravenridge is available just do a CPU-APU swap. But now this bridge BIOS and 4.4 APU BIOS make me think the Raven ridge will not run unless I install the latest BIOS.. I find BIOS upgrades nerveracking, even though the 6 or so I have done over 15 years have all gone well, so what are the chances I can just run Raven ridge on the 3.10 and 3.00 BIOSs I have without updating to the latest, which do seem flakey. ------------- ASRock X370-ITX BIOS 4.50 R5 2600 Cryorig C7 EVGA GTX 950 75w 2x8GB Ballistix Sport LT 2933 960Evo M.2 256GB, Firecuda 1TB Win 10 Pro 64 1803 G-Unique Archdaemon 300 Watt Lian-li Q21B |

After updating my BIOS to 4.40, DRAM voltage keeps changing back to 1.35V. I was able to get stable OC on my RAM on BIOS 3.40 at 3466MHz 1.45V, but now with the new BIOS I can't, even with the exact timings which are all set manually.

" rel="nofollow - I think a lot of the issues we see stem from the fact that AMD are playing catch-up. Intel is not without it's issues but where it comes to platform support and stability they have a lot of experience over AMD. AMD has not had a new architecture for over a decade before Ryzen hit, they got used to the simplicity of releasing minor UEFI tweaks and microcode updates during that time. Ryzen was nowhere near ready at the time of it's release. The firmware alone needed another 6 months to a year of vigorous testing and tweaking in conjunction with other hardware manufacturers. This never happened. Now they are pumping out AGESA updates like crazy trying to catch up and mitigate performance and stability deficits when compared to intel. AMD are not being as careful and thorough with their testing as manufacturers are used to. On top of that there are users clamoring that updates are not flowing fast enough, X or Y vendor already released updates for this, why doesn't my board have an update yet? etc. When intel releases a major core platform update it is fairly safe to assume it has been thoroughly tested, it's changes documented and distributed to hardware vendors and major bugs and tweaks have already been addressed. I can only guess but I am almost 100% certain the same is NOT true of AMD with Ryzen. Yes, we are seeing some fairly high instances of bricked boards via UEFI update issues and failures but this is not happening to all boards. This indicates either an issue with particular hardware combinations or users not following the proper procedure when updating. I frequently find that a user has failed to restore factory defaults before updating for example. This alone can easily cause issues, especially if the system isn't completely stable at the overclock the user has set. In a fair number of cases with the newest updates however it does seem that certain hardware seems to be resulting in failed (bricked) updates. I have passed this information on to ASRock and they are looking into the issue. They have a lot to deal with regarding Ryzen with the demand for updates being what it is. They must walk a fine line between trusting AMD did their due diligence in testing and not trusting them and running more tests in house before updates are released. This takes time, often resulting in angry users over slow update releases. It does not help that users flock here or use the ticket system to demand updates ASAP. This is not an ASRock specific issue by any means and my post applies to other brands too. I am not defending ASRock or just pointing fingers at AMD. AMD did what they needed to in order to remain viable and now are shoring up the issues that move caused. It isn't surprising and I don't hold it against them, my Ryzen system is the best system I have owned in years.

I wish all the different BIOS versions had proper release notes. It's hard to judge whether an upgrade is worth the risk, when different versions of the BIOS can even have the same description. Also, "enhance the system compatibility" is too vague for my taste. I'd like to know how it has been enhanced. Also a list on known issues - there are bound to be some - would be nice. ------------- Ryzen 5 1500X, ASRock AB350M Pro4, 2x8 GB G.Skill Trident Z 3466CL16, Sapphire Pulse RX Vega56 8G HBM2, Corsair RM550x, Samsung 960 EVO SSD (NVMe) 250GB, Samsung 850 EVO SSD 500 GB, Windows 10 64-bit |

Honestly, I am not sure even the manufacturers know all the details with AGESA. A lot of the time it seems to be exactly that "enhanced system compatibility" for seemingly random RAM models and components. Listing exactly which ones would be nice but I am not sure AMD provides these details. As I said in my last post, AMD is clearly playing catch-up and as a result, cutting corners to get there faster. Fortunately Ryzen is a brilliant addition to their product stack and worth the teething problems. It sucks to have to RMA your board for a bad flash but at least there are no issues in doing so. I browse most of the manufacturer forums and ASRock is not alone in the bricked board department by any means, in fact, some manufacturers (not getting into names) are being hit a lot harder. -------------

ASRock Gaming k4 x370 here.. going to try revert to 3.4 too. No XMP profiles work on 4.5, so my Patriot 32GB DDR3200 is stuck at 2132 (stock speed). Manually setting AMD CBS timings dont save or apply (and I did set "OC Switch" to AMD CBS from ASRock). Completely crap bios, very annoyed, will likely ditch this board as its been terrible with both sets of DDR4 I tried (both on compatible lists).

 I do know better, but the lure of those larger numbers is too stronk... ;) So far I've been patient and stuck with the 3.30 I installed the minute I powered up my new rig, though. I haven't even really though about trying out older versions to see if I can push my rig furhter than its current state. However, it may just be a matter of time before I find myself flashing the BIOS to some other version...------------- Ryzen 5 1500X, ASRock AB350M Pro4, 2x8 GB G.Skill Trident Z 3466CL16, Sapphire Pulse RX Vega56 8G HBM2, Corsair RM550x, Samsung 960 EVO SSD (NVMe) 250GB, Samsung 850 EVO SSD 500 GB, Windows 10 64-bit |

I will not OC this system to max it possibly can, mild OC is fine for me.

I am having the same issue. Using the XMP profile for 3200Mhz. I need adjust the voltage to 1.4v to be stable. But every time I restart, the voltages are set back to 1.35v. I didn't have this issue before updating my bios to 4.40 |

If you use the "AMD CBS Setting", you should deactivate XMP and set it manually under UMC. Then the set Vdimm remains. At the moment do not mix XMP with the switch "AMD CBS Setting" !!! ------------- Kind Regards, JZ https://shop.JZelectronic.de - Der Shop mit ausgesuchter ASRock Profi Hardware https://www.facebook.com/asrock.de |

I spent couple of hours last night trying 4.4 and 4.6 BIOS on my PRO4 CPU OC either with asrock or AMD CBS settings seems not as stable as it was with 3.3.either when I OC in the BIOS or via the A-tuning software, it would eventually crash on AIDA64 stress testing after few minutes (OC at 3.8Ghz, Ram at default 2133Mhz) or freeze after few seconds with extreme OCing (3.9Ghz, again RAM at default) I have not done any in game testing, will do later this week now with my Corsair RAM OCing, 4.4 BIOS would not give me any better results than the 3,066Mhz I was achieving with 3.3.just repeated cold boot and no post in windows But with 4.6Bios, AMD CBS and UMC specific RAM settings have allowed me to post in windows at 3,200Mhz for the very 1st time since I have built this rig I didn't have the chance to do any monitoring or stress testing though because windows froze after a minute he had reached the desktop it could be that I didn't set the Ram voltage higher than the 1.35V default this BIOS gives now. with 3.3 Bios, I had to set my RAM at 1.375V to be stable at 3,066Mhz so that could be the root cause will also do more investigation here because there is lot more fiddling in the BIOS ram settings I had no time to make last night that could bring my system stable so I wont bash Asrock for now, it seems a step in the right direction ------------- 3500X 4.4Ghz at 1.25V B550M Steel legend; 16GB CORSAIR LPX-3200 C16 running at 3333Mhz; 248GB NVME; VEGA 64 LC GPU OC 1700Mhz core 1150Mhz VRAM |

" rel="nofollow - Hello there, (Make sure you read update at the bottom.)
Just wanted to report my experience with new BIOS version 4.6. l built my system back in August 2017. It booted up and worked fine right away. No compatibility issues or such, just functioning fine. A few days ago l updated from 1.0.0.6a (version 3.00) to latest BIOS (V-4.6) and ever since then the MOBO does not save the OC settings. With V-3.00 l had the 1700x OC to 3.7 (1.25V). l never had a crash, it was stable. l have no idea about OC so l was happy l could manage (no big deal at this mild OC level). When it comes to OC the memory, with both BIOS versions it was as simple as loading the XMP profile... That was all it took. To sum up, it seems that l cannot OC the CPU (so far?) with BIOS version 4.6. l personally don't care because l mostly work on my pc (Word) and soooometimes play Battlefield. As a PC enthusiast l have a better system that l need, and l OC it because l can... Again, l just wanted to report my experience in case it helps. *Almost forget: I have a Samsung 960 EVO (M.2 - NVME) 250GB. With BIOS V.3 Samsung Magician software reported 'system incompatibility.' With new BIOS V.4.6, Magician reports 'no compatibility issue.' UPDATE: l was taking a screenshot of Magician, Task Manager and CPU-Z when l saw the core speed displayed in CPU-Z being 3.790. It seems that the OC was indeed saved by the MOBO, yet not recognized by Windows Task Manger? Interesting... Unfortunately, l cannot attach the screenshot l took, probably because this is my 1st post and l just registered to this forum :-( ------------- 1700x x370 Gaming K4 EVGA 16GB-DDR43000 STRIX 1070 |

" rel="nofollow - Hello, i think i found bug in bios 4.40-4.61 (x370 taichi). When select oc mode "Asrock settings" then dram timings configuration\data bus configuration and other cad bus not applying even if i choose different parameters they always stay auto. Settings applying only if select oc mode "AMD CBS Settings" and set them on advanced\amd cbs\umc common options\data bus configuration. Can you check this and fix in next bios?

Thanks for pointing out the issue, but we can`t change a thing with the BIOS, we are a user forum, helping each other where we can. Very occasionally an ASRock techie will drop in , but no guarantee. Also one or two of the mods here have contacts within ASRock and will do their utmost to bring issues like this to their attention. Might be a good idea for you to send your finding direct to ASRock Technical support. ------------- ASRock X370-ITX BIOS 4.50 R5 2600 Cryorig C7 EVGA GTX 950 75w 2x8GB Ballistix Sport LT 2933 960Evo M.2 256GB, Firecuda 1TB Win 10 Pro 64 1803 G-Unique Archdaemon 300 Watt Lian-li Q21B |

Can you try to set Gear Down Mode to disabled and check after if you can change the parameters? Also Ryzen timing checker 1.03 need latest SMU version to report correct clocks for advanced parameteres, ASRock latest AM4 UEFI versions do not have latest SMU version, they are 1 version behind

Same goes for me. Overclocking RAM isn't improved at all. Possibly a CPU limitation more than anything in that aspect.. I think they're trying to improve the Auto sub-timings, with this BIOS it seems more sub-timings are actually what they should be than before. Might just be my bad (brain) memory. I've noticed that the "boot training" behaves differently now as well. It seems to actually kick in about half as much on bootup as before, which is noticable as I got 3 Noctua 140 3k rpm fans on and it doesn't go full blast twice now. ------------- AMD 2700x | G.Skill 16GB Flare X 3200 Mhz | EVGA 1070Ti FTW Ultra Silent | EVGA G1+ 750w | ASRock X470 Taichi |

" rel="nofollow - Well, here's what i've been able to get so far with p1.5 Before p1.5, anything over 4.2Ghz was unstable (but bootable). Now I was able to pass Cinebench once at 4.3, but only once. 4.25Ghz is now stable, even under 1.4v. (My CPU seems to be average-to-weak silicon?) I toyed around with RAM some more. 3600Mhz is not happening. Not bootable at all. I used every suggestion the calculator had for me after importing the stock XMP profile and tuning it for 3600Mhz. The same tuning allowed for a 3466Mhz OC, but was not aida64 stress stable. 3333Mhz with optimized sub-timings seems to be my limit. In A-Tuning, which seems to be the most reliable source of info for voltages, i'm hitting 1.4 volts on CPU and DRAM even though they're at 1.385 and 1.35 respectably. Level 3 LLC all around. 1.1v SOC. I'm not sure how to get over these seemingly pliable overclocking walls. I have a Kraken X62 with Noctua fans and at these settings i'm getting 80-82*C, so I don't want to increase CPU volts beyond 1.4, which at 4300Mhz is bootable.. Any advice?

82*C after about 15 minutes of full aida64 stress testing at 4.25Ghz - 1.4v I'm also using MX-4 thermal paste, which is very "comparable" to Kryonaut. Not sure what STH is?
After fiddling around with BIOS so much I noticed something and it seems to fix loading profiles.. Enable CSM. I know it makes booting slightly slower and UEFI with lower res, but it is smoother - and will actually let you load profiles no problem for now. ---------------------- I'm genuinely concerned with RAM sub-timings.. Everyone seems to love tightening down their sub-timings, which for our motherboards seem to have it worse than others due to our janky "auto". I've noticed that indeed, I can re-produce higher results across the board (Cinebench, 3DMark Vantage, AIDA64 Memory/Cache benchmarks) simply tightening down the timings and doing nothing else. In the calculator and even "The Stilt's Ryzen Timings", certain values have decimals. tRFC, tRFC 2 and 4 have values like "307.2" that I can't enter in the BIOS. I type in 307. and it locks in 307 before I can get to 2. How do I get around this? If I leave it at 307 is it fine? Or should it be 308 as it should always round up? Leaving 2700x completely stock seems to be the way in my books. If you can get 4.35Ghz all-core, and that's a big IF, you'll be reaching what avg-silicon can do easily just bursting on it's own on 1-2 cores. I enabled Precision Boost Overdrive, and it allowed more cores to hit 4.35Ghz at the same time more consistently, but it seemed to be an either-or situation as it was ONLY hitting 4.35Ghz or 3Ghz. I can be stable 4250Mhz and lose some performance in games but gain everywhere else, or be stock, stable, and genuinely not tell much of a difference, whereas RAM Mhz and sub-timings seem to be most beneficial. Sorry for wall of text lol

I just do simple rounding, i.e. 307.2 becomes 307, or in my case 3066mhz, recommended tRFC 536.6 is rounded up to 537, and tRFC4 245.3 rounded down to 245. these tRFCs are so big in values the decimal don't make or break in boot-up nor stability issues. from another perspective 537/536.6x100% = 0.07454% whilst tCL from 17 vs 16 = 6.25% [significant], low numbers are much more sensitive than big numbers, example dram 2933mhz up to 3066mhz 4.53%, even 3200mhz up from 3066mhz is 4.37% versus tCL one digit jump causes 6.25% hence ignore the decimal of big numbers !!! no worries here. ------------- x370taichi@3.50gen4 AX750 Optane900P SN770 3800x PosdonZro4 BarrowPWM-17w>420x140x28 XFX SWFT319 6900XT MSI RX560 LP to get Fluid Motion BlueskyFRC 75hz |

" rel="nofollow - Well thank you for the words advice. I?™m looking for performance but stability and longevity is also important to me. What I?™m worried about in rounding up/down decimal values is possibly having a situation where because it?™s .2 off, it wasn?™t ready and has to repeat the whole process, and because it?™s such a high number I feel like it would be extremely detrimental. Are these numbers connected in any way, like in a ratio where it has to be specifically those values ? Maybe I?™m thinking too much about it. Is there a way to easily import sub-timing profiles?

I also checked the Main page in my BIOS and its the latest BIOS installed 4.80... 1.Update PinnaclePI-AM4_1.0.0.4 2.Keep the XMP setting after system restoring from G3 state.* If the current BIOS version is older than P3.50, please update BIOS to P3.50(Bridge BIOS) before updating this version. https://www.pic-upload.de/view-35620775/20180713_053319.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  Is it possible they did something wrong with the AGESA Version or is it just a typo on the website and we didnt got the PinnaclePi-AM4 1.0.0.4 yet ?
