I just upgraded the system to the new P4.60 BIOS, again the transfer rates are far below normal, almost 5000MB less than in version 4.40 of the Taichi X370 BIOS. The latencies are also slightly higher, appreciably higher .. Is there any explanation?

I think I got that. Note I don't have this system up and running yet, I just have the motherboard and APU and have been researching for the build.

In that case the short answer is "no". The longer answer is that the bridge BIOS was needed to prepare your board to take the BIOS that supports the 2000 series processors. Therefore, since it has that sticker it is already past the point of needing the bridge. Just update from 4.50 to 4.70. ------------- ASRock Fatal1ty AB350 ITX P4.90, AMD Ryzen 5 2400G, 2x8GB Corsair CMK16GX4M2A2666C16, 250GB Samsung 960EVO, 500GB Samsung 850EVO, 4TB WD Blue, Windows 10 Pro 64, Corsair SF450, Cooler Master Elite 110 |

Meh. Does it have this +/- instability while running at stock values? You DO have quite the OC/voltages with that OC. (1600x 4.1ghz 1.4vcore 2666mghz 2x8 gskillz ram at 3333mghz) |

I ask that as the clock on new MB's are damn stable. I'm assuming you have Disabled all C states. 4-5 Mhz. Most programs will fluctuate this on a stable system. It's inherent of SW monitoring. What aux fan do you have keeping the VRMs cool? Again I ask as I also assume you are water cooling at the voltage req'd to hit that OC. . |

Yes, it is. The latest version is always the recommended version unless you happen to experience problems with it. However, there have been a lot of updates recently and they've really been about adding support for 2000-series processors so if you are not experiencing any particular problems with your current BIOS you may not feel the need to update. ------------- ASRock Fatal1ty AB350 ITX P4.90, AMD Ryzen 5 2400G, 2x8GB Corsair CMK16GX4M2A2666C16, 250GB Samsung 960EVO, 500GB Samsung 850EVO, 4TB WD Blue, Windows 10 Pro 64, Corsair SF450, Cooler Master Elite 110 |

Hi JohnM, I'm sorry if my "useless" sounded harsh, it really wasn't the intention. But it is really useless, in the literal meaning of the word: it doesn't post, it doesn't power the USB ports (no keyboard, no mouse, no USB speakers) it does nothing. There is power going on, as the leds of the case, AIO, the fans, the HDD, all turn on. It's just dead. And yes, it showed the "programming complete, press ok to reboot" (or something like that) when updating the UEFI. My message was more of a warning than a rant. |

Plenty of people come here to rant, so don't worry about that. But if you need help then you have to give some information, which is what I meant in my reply. The fact that you got the message saying that the upgrade was a success is a good sign. The first thing I would do is turn off the power and unplug from the wall socket. Then I'd hold the power button in for a few seconds to discharge the capacitors. Then I'd use the Clear CMOS link to reset the defaults, replacing it afterwards. Your board has only two RAM sockets so just fit one DIMM in the A slot. Unplug any peripherals except monitor and keyboard. Then plug it back in and see if it will POST. The thing is, many people have performed the update successfully so your "warning" is not only unnecessary but it's incorrect. Hopefully we'll get you up and running again. Edited: Slightly more specific instructions re. DIMM slot.

" rel="nofollow - Taichi X370. Had L4.41 and down-flashed to P3.30 as there were no instructions as to whether to UN-flash (is that a word?) from the BETA BIOS. Well BIOS CPU temps are still reading 62*C at idle so this did nothing for me as far as this issue is concerned. On a "cheekier" note....Love that English......I did get my 1800X clocked to 4.0Ghz with no problems and did get my G Skill 3600 to boot at 3200 using the XMP and both times loaded Windows fine with no upticks in voltages or timing adjustments. No stress test yet as I HATE WINDOWS 10!!!!! I saw less spyware when I worked at the NSA or was it GCHQ.....maybe both! Anyways, as this is a BIOS update thread, there are no markedly upticks that I have experienced going from L4.41 to P4.60. So I just may go back to L4.41 for now. ------------- Ryzen 9 5900X ASRock X370 Taichi G Skill F4-3200 MSI Armor 2070 MSI SPATIUM 1TB M2 WD 1TB M2 Crucial 500 SSD Corsair AX860i PSU Corsair H115Pro WB Phanteks Enthoo Pro SE |

To expand on what datonyb said, any version that is stable and provides the functionalities you need, is recommended. Even if it's an older version. If 3.40 has served you well, there's no real reason to take the risks involved with updating the BIOS. My AB350M Pro4 is running on 3.30 at the moment and I haven't had any major issues. I'm interested in finding out what the newest version brings, though. Since there are no proper release notes, the only option is to install it and see. Decisions, decisions... P.S. Remember to also keep an eye on the AMD all in 1 driver and possibly other drivers as well. It's often worth keeping these as up to date as possible. ------------- 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 successfully flashed my AB350-ITX to P4.60 from 4.43 (beta). This has a Ryzen 5 2400G. I found that the CPU is running measurably better with this BIOS, particularly in gaming, which is how this box is being used. ------------- -Mike Elek http://photographytoday.net |

Good morning, yes, RAM transfer rates. They fall a lot when upgrading to BIOS 4.41 and 4.60, testing things that discovered that this is accentuated when overclocking the CPU, with the same in stock not seen this problem in this dimension. * The discussion can be found at this link: http://www.overclock.net/forum/11-amd-motherboards/1627407-asrock-x370-taichi-overclocking-thread-314.html There you can find more reports on other problems we are encountering Thank you for your attention, have a good day. Allí puede encontrar más informes sobre otros problemas que estamos encontrando Gracias por su atención, tenga un buen día.

" rel="nofollow - Handrox, the latency differences are more or less margin of error stuff. The benchmarked speeds can also vary from run to run depending on what the OS may or may not do in the background. Are these only samples from a larger set of test runs or did you just test once with each BIOS 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 |

They are tests done after each BIOS update, when I will check if the modifications made effective, functional and stable.
The differences are not marginal, with BIOS 4.60 the rates are locked around 47500 in the read, 47500 in the write and 43500 in the data copy. (approximate numbers) Do not go beyond that, then fell from 56,000 approximate to 47,000 approximate between BIOS 4.40 and 4.60, it's a lot ...

Okay, so one test after each update. Every benchmark (Aida, 3DMark, Geekbench etc.) fluctuates by some amount between runs, so you should run the benchmark at least three times for each BIOS version to get some idea on how much the results differ between each run. You should also probably wait some time before running the benchmark after booting up, since there can be all sorts of stuff going on in the background even after you have access to your desktop. Also, I didn't say the differences in speeds are marginal, but they may be explained by other things than the BIOS. The latency differences on the other hand look marginal, but you won't know for sure until you do several runs with the same exact setup. For example, back when I was experimenting with RAM timings, the L3 cache results could vary quite a bit (over 20% for transfer rates and even jumps from 12.2ns to 20ns for the latency). I'm not on my personal computer right now, but I'll see if I can post some of my AIDA results later today, just to show more accurately what I mean. The results of course only apply to my system, but they might illustrate my point better. ------------- 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 |

Yes, a lot of tests were done, even because I did not believe in what I saw, wondering why this variation down so sharply in the numbers of transfer rates. If you notice a worse performance for example when playing some games, the game that is most noticeable is the PUBG, does not change the framerate much, but if you notice gagging during the game even more when you need a zoom of the map when using a telescope sight . I spent about 2 days with this 4.60 BIOS testing things and if you notice a lower system performance than I have with 4.40, this 4.40 BIOS is phenomenal, my system is very good with it, I updated to 4.60 more out of curiosity and see if the new Agesa allowed me to reach the 3600MHz in a 100% stable way and to be able to use my RAM in its due XMP ------------- Asrock X370 Taichi + Ryzen 1700X@3.8GHz + 2x8GB GSkill TridentZ 3600MHz@3466MHz CL14 + MSi GTX 1070 Armor 2 OC |

Hmm. Interesting. I'll have to test that scenario on my system, since I haven't noticed any major issues in PUBG. These are the averages of five AIDA benchmark runs I've done on my current setup: Memory Read: 46849.6 MB/s Memory Write: 45354.4 MB/s Memory Copy: 40837.8 MB/s Memory Latency: 77.48 ns L1 Cache Read: 459.156 GB/s L1 Cache Write: 230.184 GB/s L1 Cache Copy: 459.12 GB/s L1 Cache Latency: 1.1 ns L2 Cache Read: 433.8 GB/s L2 Cache Write: 225.972 GB/s L2 Cache Copy: 388.276 GB/s L2 Cache Latency: 4.7 ns L3 Cache Read: 306.972 GB/s L3 Cache Write: 218.552 GB/s L3 Cache Copy: 292.34 GB/s L3 Cache Latency: 12.2 ns Just based on these numbers, I should be experiencing similar or worse performance issues. It may be that I'm just not paying attention to occasional stutters or that I've just never used the map while looking through a scope. I'll take your word for the change in performance and transfer rate numbers, but the whole thing just seems odd and it would be interesting to know what the root cause is. ------------- 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 |

Maybe it's some sort of a stability issue then. In any case, I had a chance to check my numbers and on my system (at its current settings) the benchmark results were actually very stable. Five benchmark runs and memory read was always 46xxx, memory write 45xxx, and memory copy varied around 400 points. The latency mostly varied between 77.7 and 77.6 nanoseconds, but one result was 76.8ns, so even more notable outliers are possible. The latencies of L1-L3 were rock solid on these settings and generally the variance was very small, except for the L3 results, where transfer rates for L3 read, for example, could vary between 257.xx and 325.xx. In short, something really weird is going on if 4.60 drops your figures by that much. I assume you double checked that the timings and everything that were set in the BIOS also showed up with other programs like CPU-Z or Ryzen Timing Checker? ------------- 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 |

By the way, 3466MHz sounds about as good a memory speed as you can get with Ryzen 1. Even 3200MHz is a good result and may be tough to achieve without Samsung B-Die memory. ------------- 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 |

Whatever you do, don't go below the BIOS rev that first accommodates whatever proc you Sig should be informing us of. |

same with me, ram at 3466, is not stable at 3600, but with bios 3.30 was more stable than with the 4.40 now, with 3.30 bios I could post to windows even surf the net but with 4.40 it doesn't even post, that is why I haven't flash to 4.60 even more since there since to be a RAM performance drop

I would like to say that it is stable in 90% of applications, I can for example install the system with RAM at 3600MHz without problems, play some games for hours, and some games like BF1, PUBG, TW3 for example do not stay stable and have random closures without time or even reset the machine. Already 3466MHz CL14 with all tight timmings work 100% solid rock. ------------- Asrock X370 Taichi + Ryzen 1700X@3.8GHz + 2x8GB GSkill TridentZ 3600MHz@3466MHz CL14 + MSi GTX 1070 Armor 2 OC |

Here's a piece of software that does it for you: http://www.overclock.net/forum/13-amd-general/1640919-ryzen-dram-calculator-1-0-0-beta-3-overclocking-dram-am4.html Of course, should you choose to you it, you'll do it at your own risk. On my system the safe timings worked but seemed to make L3 cache benchmark (AIDA64) results more unstable than normally. Furthermore, not all benchmarks showed a positive result from tightening the timings and the latency change was insignificant, so in the end I went back to XMP timings (with CL16 dropped to CL14). ------------- 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 don't know if it was a coincidence or not since it does not seem like this bios update is targeted at the new 2000G processors, but my system got more stable and I was able to achieve higher frequencies with -again- much more stability than before. I'm using my 2200g @ 3925 with perfect stability, I could go even higher but it would require 1.4 V or more so I'd rather keep it at this. |

think of it more like targeted to tweak and polish the bios update for the 2000 series eg wifi fix etc the first bios never gives the best results........... ------------- [url=https://valid.x86.fr/jpg250] [/url]3800X, powercolor reddevil vega64, gskill tridentz3866, taichix370, evga750watt gold |

Ok guys I have had time to roll back my bios to 3.00 and these new bios need some work. I only have the aid64 trial installed so I can only see "read speed" buutttt... P3.00 51700 read @ 3466 14-14-14-26 P4.7 41700 read @ 3466 14-14-14-26 Both had the same latency of 68 ns By my math that's a 20% hit to memory bandwidth...not something I would see as "small" *edit* maybe this is a stupid thought but I wonder since the newer bios are for the pinnacle ridge chips if it isnt just reserving that memory bandwidth for the onboard video even tho im not using that chip...if that makes sense. ------------- Ryzen 1700@3.7 AB350 Gaming K4 Tridentz F4-3600C15D-16GTZ@3466 |

Tried v4.6 which was released a week before your 4.4 and no noticeable loss in bandwidth. I think its just the latest version, 4.7 , that does it. ------------- Ryzen 1700@3.7 AB350 Gaming K4 Tridentz F4-3600C15D-16GTZ@3466 |

" rel="nofollow - Did you try overclocking by P-States to rule out ASRock or AMD out of the ecuation? If overlocking by P-State from /Advanced/AMD CBS is working than its ASRock at fault here, if its still giving lower numbers its AMD I would set the highest P-State to your most stable OC setting and check the bandwidth again PS: Nice numbers you got there with 3466MHz, too bad my Corsair 2400MHz kit does not like more than 3333MHz for benchmarks elese 3200MHz for 24/7 stability :( the 2400G could use some 3466 or 3600MHz memory

FINALLY, No wonder I could not find "Memory throughput decreases when overclocking CPU" (or something to that effect) on Google. BECAUSE, this a specific bios problem and not a everyday computer problem. Thank you so much for sticking to your convictions and not letting others convince you you're crazy because I have been having that exact same problem since I updated from 3.20 to 4.60 a month or so ago. (and YES I did the "bridge BIOS) Loosing 5000MB/s is unacceptable. I went from around 45000 to 38000-39000 when I OC. AND YA!!! Using the Ryzen master utility workaround worked! (Never used that before, always been bios OC for me) I have been using, and am still running 4.61 beta with no issues. (other than the slow memory. SOLVED) I don't have an OC.net account so I can't thank the poster on there but thank-you to you Handrox & Jm62383 & freestaler
