Crosshair VI Hero: UEFI build update thread

[usernameistooshort]

reports that 7106 giving POST errors, and supplying too much voltage to the CPU, risking degradation or permanent damage.

Could you provide some links or additional info on this? I'm using the very first C6H mobo released with a Ryzen 1800X CPU. Apart from the no-mouse and no-keyboard detect issue in the BIOS itself, my system has been stable. No issues with posting or anything else. But I would downgrade the BIOS if there are voltage issues.

It's all over the place, though I did come across a comment chain posted recently by AMD's Robert Hallock suggesting that the reports of high idle voltage are nothing to worry about:

As for issues with POST there are several reports on the overclock.net thread, starting around here:
https://www.overclock.net/forum/11-a...read-4115.html
The issue seems to be consistently occurring after powering down the system.

It would still be nice for Asus to officially support the 3000-series CPUs on the C6H, otherwise ASUS support will not help you.
Oddly enough the X370 Prime Pro has 3000-series CPUs on their officially-supported list.
Even the $700 Crosshair VIII Formula doesn't officially support anything past the 3600x. It's definitely an oversight, but when those lists are what support is using to decide whether or not they will help you, it's a big deal.

Even a "we're aware and are working on it" would be better than nothing.

Thanks! So the voltage thing seems to be a Microsoft vs AMD issue in Windows. I run Linux, so I'm guessing not really an issue I should be concerned about. Even then the post seems to clarify that it really isn't an "issue". As for posting, I don't have any issues with cold boots.

Couldn't agree more and now when Ryzen 3000 series availability has improved, there are more and more threads popping up with C6H and Ryzen 3000 having "NO POST" issues, e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/com...3700x_and_c6h/ and https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/com...shair_vi_hero/ + overclock.net forum posts users reporting...

Asus would need to think this long-term and user point of view; C6H was high-end, one of the most expensive boards when it came 2017. If I don't get soon support for new Ryzen series, I'm going to buy a new MB but it isn't going to be Asus. There are a lot of C6H users out there so please fix it.

In my case I am coming over to AMD from Intel for the first time in over 10 years -- I bought a C6H brand new specifically because Asus said 3000 would be supported. If I don't see some sort of progress in the next week I am going to return it and buy something else, and it won't be Asus. I don't mean this to sound like a threat, it's just reality.

At least MSI has come out and communicated about the BIOS being a beta and that it is temporary. They've also said to expect a BIOS with AGESA 1.0.0.3AB by next week. What information has Asus given us?

Bricking RAID configuration is worst than not having the last PBO options for a 3 day old released CPU.

While CPU has been available for end-users (consumers) for 3 days, that doesn't mean vendors like Asus wouldn't have had chance to use/test Ryzen at least for a month. Also, it should not come as a surprise that launch was 7/7 so planning etc everything needs to reflect that. If they can't keep up with BIOS releases for each MB/platform they still support, they need to add more staff, reduce number of available models or sell MB's shorter period of time so they would go EoL quicker. Simple as that.

Btw, Asus is doing same mistake again with 570X launch, ROG Crosshair VIII Hero and ASUS ROG Strix X570-E don't have much difference, yet it adds complexity to their lineup and will cause issues with future upgrade.

PS. This launch was extremely easy for MB vendors, compared to e.g. Ryzen 1st gen launch (Q1/2017), during that time Intel also rolled out their Kaby Lake which I can understand created timing etc issues but nothing from Intel now so MB vendors were able to focus 100% on AMD.
EDIT: Not to mention X570 was designed in-house by AMD without any 3rd party involvement so collaboration between MB vendors and AMD was seamless compared to previous releases.

I am curious to see if the 3700x will work with my crosshair vi hero, has anyone else had any positive experiences with the new ryzens?

I've seen great results with CH VI on other forums, high cpu clocks, high memory clocks. No need to worry, overall a fine board!

Bioses from Asus still buggy though, expect some quirks.

What forums are those? For each person saying it works fine there is another person saying they can't even POST.
