[NOT OFFICIAL]-Crosshair VI (Extreme ONLY) BIOS Update thread

[Riekopo]

Okay I've got multiple problems. First, why is the Ryzen Power Plan missing from the chipset driver listed on the Asus support page? Second, I installed the chipset driver directly from the AMD website and told it to install the Ryzen Power Plan but it apparently didn't. I just went to my power settings and it's not there.

Third, why doesn't the chipset driver installer tell you what versions you currently have installed? That's like a very basic thing that should be shown.

I wonder if AMD intentionally depriciate performace on x370.

BIOS 7501 blocked pci-e GEN4.

It was possible on former BIOSes

1. Use the chipset driver from AMD 1.9.27.1033
https://www.amd.com/en/support/chips...ocket-am4/x370

2. Once installed navigate to the folder AMD on the root of C:\
C:\AMD\Chipset_Driver_Installer\AMD_Chipset_Driver s\Apps\RyzenPPKG (this file will install Ryzen balanced PowerPlan)

3. Installing the AMD driver will give you version numbers for the following
GPIO driver , PCI driver, PSP driver, SMbus , Promonotory GPIO Driver

I can confirm that 7601 bios it an AGESA 1.0.03 ABBA Not AGESA 1.0.0.4 B

Not much going on in 7601 really, think I will leave it.

Hey guys, I don't have time to read through the whole thread, but I am can get one of these boards for a decent price compared to the cost of a newer platform board, but would this board be OK for the newer higher end Ryzen 3xxx series CPUs? Also, is it OK for 64GB of RAM. I plan to start wtih 2 x 16GB kits of RAM and then maybe upgrade to another 2 x 16GB sticks when I can afford it for a total of 64GB of RAM. Should I be looking at a newer platform board.

Also, are these MBs capable of PCI-e 4.0? If not, are any other non-X570 MBs capable of it?

Anyone still left here that posts in this thread?
