Crosshair VI Hero: UEFI build update thread

[FoxTech]

I've tried every RAM you can buy:

The bottom right is on the QVL, the top right specifically says it's for AMD Ryzen, and the top left Corsair were recommended by bloggers.

Oh man =(
Well, that sucks... Ask Asus to replace it one more time... including the CPU.
Something deffenitly seems to be wrong with the memory controller imho

I give up.

I picked up a second Asus Crosshair VI today because I was sure it was the motherboard being defective. Reinstalled everything from scratch and only put in the bare minimum components (didn't even bother with the GPU). Still getting error code 46.

I've gotten generic support from Asus basically telling me to make sure everything is plugged in and tips for tweaking BIOS (when I can't even get to BIOS).

I'm returning everything and checking out ASRock instead.

Why would you think it is the second board too and NOT one of the components you have put on both boards??? Bad chassis mount (and short) or too tight cooling block or bad ram stick(s) are more likely causes now that you swapped out boards.

On 1201 I was running my G.skill 3200 [4x4gb] @2600. Which wasn't that bad. This is my leftover ram from previous X99 build. Now with 1401 I could boot up @3200. Awesome!

I can't confirm that the cold boot issue is fixed with UEFI 1401. Every time I'm using a higher RAM frequency than 2.666Mhz, the Crosshair loses the settings for p-state OC and DRAM settings in the AMD CBS section. I need a ProcODT of 80Ohm to get my Trident-Z RAM to boot. With 53.3Ohm the highest possible frequency is 2.666Mhz.

Also tried two different mobos and two CPUs:

Been building computers since I was in high school and never had trouble getting to BIOS.

View of the inside of my computer:

-CPU has power (12 pin, 8 pin, also tried connecting the additional 4 pin)
-All case connectors are in
-I push the memory in until it clicks and make sure it's not too snug or too loose
-Heatsink and all fans are working properly
-No hard drive, GPU, or any additional peripherals are connected
-Tried multiple different BIOS by flashing with a USB stick

No matter what I do, this is ALWAYS what I see:

Get a speaker and try the 0-method.
Start your PC with minimal configuration (CPU, MB, PSU).
Remember the beep code from the speaker.
Turn your PC off and put the DRAM Sticks back to their slots.
Start your computer.
If you hear the same beep code -> DRAM Sticks wrongly stuck or at least one component (CPU, MB, PSU) is broken.

Can you list your specification? Most importantly memory kit part number. The memory is displaying as 2133 due to the fact the board is booting in safe mode after training fail. Overclocking memory on Ryzen is heavily dependant on user input in most cases. Try adjusting ProcODT values from 96*Ω and below.

* It's recommended that you also test memory stability with Google Stress App test or HCI Memtest Pro once the system is training successfully.

Asus C6h 1401
ryzen 1800x (liquid cooled AIO)
2 x Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK16GX4M1B3000C15 (16x2 =32gb)
Corsair RM1000x

i played around with the AMD CBS and standard DOCP got my kit running 2697 mhz but sometimes it cold boots and sometimes just get a qcode of 8. with a yellow light flashing.

I've discovered some more issues with the UEFI 1401:

-BIOS shows wrong temperature (seems it subtracts the offset twice)
-Voltage regulation is broken. I can't change the VCore Voltage and the DRAM Voltage. If I use AUTO VCore mit LLC 3, I will get 1,308V as maximum. If I use an offset with +-0.00625V I see the same Voltage of 1.308V. If I want to change the DRAM Voltage from 1.35V to 1.2V, I will get 1.25V. If I use 1.35V, I will get the same Voltage like VCore Voltage. If I'm not using LLC for VCore Voltage, I'll get 1,26V under load for the CPU. Even if I fix the voltage to 1.35V.
-cold boot bug still there.

^^ no problem controling voltage (manual or offset w/ P-states) with 1401 here. I suspect you have some bios settings incorrect. clrcmos, change Core Performance Boost to disabled, set bclk 100, set multiplier, select Manual mode (AI tweaker and voltage control) LLC 1 or 2, and F10 to save settings and reboot. should work fine.

I have posted several times about this. No one @ asus has expressed a fix. I will tell you that bios 1002 will let you manually overclock with manual voltage and all. All bios after that will lock the cpu to 2.2Ghz. You can however over clock via P-state if you want 4ghz on bios after 1002. P states set FID to A0 will get you to 4GHZ. if voltage adjustments are needed then use vcore off set mode to add voltage. I believe the issue is only affecting 1600x owners. Check out my previous post. Hope this helps get you to where you wanna be.

Thanks very much.

Did you clear CMOS before switching to 1401? PState or through BCLK OC settings remain after cold boot or unplug/complete drain.

I don't have any of these issues and I actually just tried to reproduce it with your settings. Try to set "optimized settings", reboot, then go back in the BIOS to make your changes.
