BIOS 3105 for X299 mobos - has anyone tried that ?

[Corna]

9980XE + R6E Omega, BIOS 3006 memory performance was significantly degraded, and it was initially assumed that subsequent BIOS versions would fix the problem, but BIOS 3105 memory performance was still significantly degraded, with the same results as BIOS 3006

Hi @Super Gnome

The 020006906 microcode was the best one for Skylake X mate.
I had testing for 4 month since release. I was OK.

So maybe it's something else that has changed in 3105 BIOS that caused my issues, RC code or I do not know what.
After recovering/downgrading my board succesfully with bios 3006, since I knew how to do it quickly then, I again upgraded from 3006 to 3105 (by pure curiosity) and same issue (with POST stuck ad 'BD' Q-code / 'Memory Detect' message) returned immediately. It went away only after second downgrade to 3006.
I have not experienced similar issues since initial BIOS release that I was using on day one with this mobo (it was 0806 I guess).

Omega here with 10980xe (previous 7980xe) and bios 3105, after bios 3006, no problems at all, manually overclocked memory.

Some mates here should not say it is bios fault, but his fault mixing xmp with manual parameters=big mistake and call for issues.

Hey Corna. I am using an AMD system currently because my Rampage VI Omega Extreme system was crashing tons, needed Windows reinstalls a few times, and the list goes on (and I blame Asus software for all of it). My 9980xe was overclocked at default settings permanently with the prior BIOS, 3006, and at least a few of us had this problem. In my case, I have limited knowledge about tweaking the BIOS (and unfortunately have a Ryujin in the system--which also has horrible issues--basically that it responds to false, bogus temperatures that are not the CPU at all but rather to much cooler [false] temperatures from a probe that is nowhere near the CPU cores). I'm also afraid of doing something wrong and degrading my CPU silicon even more than Asus's faulty, horrible software already has. We all reverted to 0802 because of this BIOS issue, and then didn't have the problem.

As for having memory issues, how would one know if they are having such issues? Also, I may be of limited help to you until confirming this new BIOS is problem free, as I am just going to use a different system until then.

This forum, along with overclock.net one is quite helpful, when the one that needs help listens (reads) and applies what is advised.

Talking about Corna, he was not long ago saying he had memory performance degradation, then I asked him about his components and configuration, and he said he was mixing XMP and manual parameters=call for issues, but he didn't listen, and still around saying problems come from bios releases... Quite funny!!!

As far as I know, only 9th Gen Cpus (like 9980XE) will be affected and others (like 7980xe or 10980XE) will not be affected. If someone owns a 9980XE +R6EO motherboard, they will definitely prove my problem

[vmanuelgm]

If that mate mixes XMP and manual parameters won't be worth, really.

I repeat, in these forums some guys know basical configuration to let the rigs work properly, also which hardware can suit best your needings, for example in case of overclocking (a certain memory kit).

Those max temperatures look super high to me. 96? I'd probably have a stroke if my CPU hit those highs. What are you doing that is getting such high temps? Was your system the same before the latest BIOS?

3105 has broke Wake On Lan on my Rampage VI Extreme. Is anyone else having that experience?

WoL still works on my RVIE Encore box though (I updated both boxes to their latest BIOS versions yesterday).
