Seems identical to last one, I have applied it and can't detect anything different or better/worse.

BIOS Type: AMI UEFI
BIOS Version: 1201
AGESA Version: Combo-AM4 1.0.0.4
SMBIOS Version: 3.2
CPUID Revision: 00870F10h
Extended CPUID Revision: 00870F10h
Microcode Update Revision: 08701013h
SMU Firmware Version: 46.54.0

I've had no problems with the BIOS, but as mentioned, I've noticed nothing different about things either. My benchmarking ran consistently just a tad faster with 1201 than with the old 1105, but the difference was so minuscule (half a percent to a full percent) as to be in the realm of experimental error (especially as I'm not exactly scientific in how I run those). If someone suffers from the problems it fixes (noted in the first three bullets of the description), then it's probably worthwhile. But for others, it's nice but non-necessary.

Hello Everyone,I have a simple question the 3900x has a base clock of 3800 MHZ but for some reason mine runs at 3716mhz on all cores not 3816 mhz but 3716. Why is this?

base clock is 100x38 = 3800 you have spread spectrum on giving your 99.77 and not sure about why you have 37.25 multiplier. I also don't recognise the program, perhaps check with HWinfo to confirm.

I can't find any spread spectrum settings enabled all the ones I can find I disabled.

Here is the real kicker, I cant get one core to boost at 4.6 but look at my all core boost @ 4.4 WTF ??? ON AIR !

I downloaded the bios, unpacked it, renamed it, put it on a thumb drive, tried to open it in the bios, bios tells me its not a valid bios lol. :mad: Any ideas? Also, the 1105 bios wont let me set the proper timings on my memory, it just wont boot to bios even.

Ok, so I figured it out. The registration page would redirect me to the non-wifi version of the bios. The proper wifi version is C8HW file, so watch for that if you're having this issue, I already sent Asus IT an email about this.
