Crosshair VI Hero: UEFI build update thread

[Maximusst]

You can check your current and recommended RAM settings with this tool http://www.softnology.biz/files.html too. And you can check VDD Voltage and SoC voltage with HWiNFO64 too, this is the best tool monitoring.

You can try to rise BCLK to 100.2MHz or 100.4MHz, to get RAM @3200Mhz, but I would recommend to set in DRAM Timing Control -> DRAM CAS# Latency to 15 and Cmd2T to 2T, and everything other to auto. Values with 'Auto' should be higher than you set and you will lose little speed which you will not see, but you will get more stability. You could even try to set CAS Latency to 'Auto' only Cmd2T to 2T. From my experience everything you set to 'Auto' will go to more than needed, which is good starting point.

And that tRC setting that you have at '51', for my RAM it is recommended that value too, but I got my stable at '71' value. So you can try that too.

Thanks for these further tips , i will try them out tonight

I need some help please, it appears I either have a problem with my setup, voltages or bug with the latest Bios update, see attached! Any advice will help.

Good news sbakic, i've jumped up a few steps in memory speed ! Thanks to the Ryzen DRAM Calculator. Not sure if i filled out all the values correctly ,but when i set the ram according to the Voltage Block, Termination Block and CAD_Bus Block reccommended settings it finally booted @ 3200mhz, unfortunately , getting a bsod about storahci.sys (maybe driver related, i will try updating the chipset drivers). For now i'm scaled back one tick above the rated speed to 3133, which is now working like a charm !

specs:

Crosshair VI Hero 6
Ryzen 1700 @ 3.88Ghz
2x 16GB G.Skill Trident Z ( F4-3200C16D-32GTZKY)

Wow thats some pretty crazy latency you have there! I would double check you entered everything correctly from Typhoon burner program.....

Not noticing the issue from viewing screenies .

So far i see its at 3,8ghz and in the other picture 1,8ghz.

First.. start cpu z and compare then the cpu frequency. If it has still 2ghz difference..
Look at ur power plan under system control, power settings.
Choose high performance power plan or amd power plan, check the power plan and make sure cpu stays always at 100% of its speed.

I also use the bios 6001 and oced through bios settings. it always stay at 3,88~3,9ghz as set. (bus speed jumps btw 98~100)

I previously had 1602 bios, upgraded to 6001 and see a few issues, and only 1 fix, but not sure if it's worth it.

Fixed:
Cold boot issue and resetting of RAM SPDs (any cold boot with power off yields reset of SPD to higher timings, even though my XMP is rated for the ones set)

Broke:
BCLK shifts between 98-100
Resuming from sleep lowers BCLK to 85-86,
Some sort of timing/micro lag when gaming (PUBG rubberbanding)
Had to step up CPU voltage by from 1.3975 to 1.4 to get the same stability as 1602 for my OC (39x100)

Conclusion
Overall I think the 6001 is not worth it for me and will be rolling back to 1602. Cold boot isn't an issue as much for me as I mostly sleep my machine, and now resuming from sleep is a no-go.

I figured out what was wrong and took your advice, I went back to bios 3008 and re-set everything up, the new bios is buggy! I even ran 3dmark no problems! This issue needs looking at, as before my overclock in task manager under performance was reading 4.5ghz and this caused the CPU to throttle back.

I have a weird problem ever since I updated to bios 6001 every once in a while my HDDs will disappear I have to shut down to get them to come back all three 3tb HDDs

Yeah the disappearing HDD, had that 2 BIOS version back. lost my 6 disc raid. Had 6 256GB SSDs in the array but on boot one drive would randomly not show up but the system would still boot. that array eventually crashed after a windows update and never boot after.

So that is another thing i do not trust with this setup.

I have used a 2 or more disc raid setup in every system i have build for the past 10 years with no issues. using Onboard RAID/SATA.

Well it's definitely a bios problem but I am sure they will iron it out soon!
