The scenario I was unable to find a solution for, was:
1. Power on system via case's button
2. Press case's power button once, to let the system sleep
3. Send remotely a Wake-on-LAN command (BIOS and network settings are already setup to support that) to wake up the system
4. After system has woken up, connect to it via rdp/vpn etc. and after I have finish whatever job I need to, if I try to restart the system, it won't even shutdown.
Only solution to this, is to use prior BIOS version or initiate a power cycle through case's power button. Neither solution fits my needs.

Thanks, I had a different issue I'm trying to find a solution for. Okay so sometimes when my computer is supposed to be sleeping it will randomly wake up for no reason that I can figure out. It wouldn't go back to sleep again. But now I have added a registration entry that makes it go back to sleep 2 min after waking up instead of resetting the sleep counter again. But I'd like it not to wake up unless I move the mouse...do you think WoL is causing this and how can I get this to stop? Sometimes it happens when someone sends me a picture on facebook.

Other issue is my case fans and cpu fan and mobo LED staying on when in sleep mode? Is there some way for me to edit sleep mode for this not to happen (actually I have it set to hybrid sleep). Or do I need to switch to hibernate mode to turn all these things off? Also, would going into hibernate mode fix my PC randomly waking up in the first issue or do I need to change some settings so that it wont happen? Thanks!

BTW does sleep, hybrid sleep or hibernate cause wear or excessive writes on my Samsung NVME SSD or my RAM?

Updated to lastest BIOS using 3700X works fine. Alot more options in BIOS. Micro Center has a ton of 5800X but nothing else. Plan on getting 5900X when I can find one.

Just a quick hint to find out which device last woke your system up. Use powercfg /lastwake in the command-line just after your system has waken up and before any shutdown/restart occur.

Can you send me your html report of you ram from thaippon burner? only for comparison
What SOC voltage and DRAM Voltage are you using?


Show the timings of the memories with Zentiming as well if you are not bothered?

For those not updating their CPU to 5000 series this BIOS fixes issues with getting boost clocks on 3000 series cpus. My 3700X which is a crappy first run edition is now hitting:
Core0-4.425ghz
Core1-4.400ghz
Core2-4.400ghz
Core3-4.425ghz
Core4-4.375ghz
Core5-4.425ghz
Core6-4.375ghz
Core7-4.400ghz
All cores stay at 4.375ghz or higher when gaming.
I havent messed with PBO setting or OCing as of yet.
Memory also seem more stable. Running DuelRank 3200 32GB(16*2) @3800mhz(1900IF) 16-16-14-28-42-1T @ 1.45v

That's awesome! I've actually been considering using this "beta" BIOS with my 2700X, but truthfully, my 2700X already hits 4.3GHz on a few cores via PBO already. And I have my RAM timings manually set to CL14 @ 1.35V (32GB - 4x8).

I am curious of the extra BIOS settings though.

I did but there is some site bug that keeps telling me I need to log in and I do that (even though I'm already logged in) and then it keeps looping me back to the log in page again lol.

It would be hilarious if this "beta" BIOS is better for all CPU than all the BIOS that came before it. With all the handwringing over BIOS we have had for this board over the last 2 years lol. By the way what version of BIOS are you using? I'm still on 4208 but will upgrade to this since I have heard great things about the new gen of CPU, I just need to make sure 5900X or 5950X will work on this board and with air cooling. Is 64 GB still going to be the RAM limit for this board?
