Latest C7H BIOS

Do you guys have ECC disabled on BIOS? Since these boards aren't ECC afaik, and Auto option seems to mean Enabled, do you think this has been causing my BSODs?

Now on 2801 and back to 3200 CL14 manual timings, i'm not getting 3-4 BSODs per day anymore, but some restarts that don't leave a minidump. Tried loading optimized defaults, booting, then loading my profile and got a familiar 0x0000000a IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, it seems those are all i'm getting now compared to previous BIOS and/or 3600 CL16 memory OC.

Will see if ECC disabled will make any difference. If not, the HyperX Predator 3000 CL15 is on the way to rule out the current Ripjaws V being bad or unsupported, although i'm pretty sure someone here is running some sort of F4-3200C14-16GVK.

EDIT: got another 0x0000000a IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, so it's seems it's not ECC. Will now try to loosen timings for 3200 CL14 a bit, although if even 2133 gets BSODs, it might be the modules.

Have you undervolted CPU?

Have you undervolted CPU?

Nope, haven't touched vcore, only RAM related voltages. Max vcore in HWinfo is 1.475v for 4400mhz or 4450 with Auto OC + 200 and PBO off.

Although I'm seeing upto 4.55Ghz and now boosting properly with agesa abba my single core could use improvement.

CPUz for example will only see one core at 4.4-4.45Ghz, is there a way (bios options perhaps) to get the single core boost as close to 4.6ghz as possible?

I have pbo on and core boost enabled, enhancer is set to auto. Have tried pbo +100-200 with an 8x scalar.

Cooling wise I have a watercoooling setup with 420mm radiator so heat should not be an issue, certainly for single core loads.

Thanks

So far 2801, for me, hasn't been all bad with my 3700x non-wifi ch7. I haven't played with any settings other than ram OC/timings. Functionally and initially, this bios reminds me of 2501 which was a good ram OC bios, imo. Only gripe is ryzen dram calculator settings do not work, I had to skip some timings. I can go into further detail if anyone asks. The other thing I had to do and is similar to bios 2501, is I HAD to set the DRAM VBOOT VOLTAGE for custom timings. I did not try DOCP.

My out of the box G.Skill Trident NEO 3200mhz CL14 is running comfortably at 3800mhz CL16-16-17-16-28 with an IF of 1900mhz. Mem test shows 63.2 latency with 3(!) cores boosting to a solid 4.4ghz but not at the same time.

I did not have any mouse issues or bios menus issues. Everything appears to be where it has always been. I will be playing with PBO settings and if anything is wonky, i'll report back.

can anyone help me ? it only rename to C7HWIFI but not C7HWIFI.CAP

Than rename it manually? Its just the name man, nothing else changes. Good luck.

sorry but im new to this im just trying to make sure if i need to rename it manually or not and if its safe to do so. thank you

yes, you can rename it manually like any other file. I have no idea why they even made that "renamer"

Exactly this above. There is no need for this tool, it only triggers confusion.

I wouldn't flash this BIOS anyway though, again lots of problems with it.. If i were you i would sell it and get Gigabyte man, much better support and BIOS quality.
