Crosshair VI Hero: UEFI build update thread

Ram Timing

When using DOCP and Geardown is disabled CR functions at 2T even when CR is set at auto
DOCP sets pretty much all the timings correctly except tRC, tFAW, tRFC1, tRFC2, and tRFC4
tRRDs and tRRDL do not function as set

F4-3600C16D-16GTZ with DOCP @ 3600: The timings themselves are set to auto and just utilizing DOCP in the main section, Bios 1401 even 1403 sets tRC to 85 even though 52 is written in the XMP profile. tFAW is set to 38 when 44 is reflected in the XMP profile. tRFC1 through 4 are set close enough @ 630,468, and 288. The main cause of instability is that tRRDS & L do not function as set even when the bios itself shows the effective setting as manually entered or as reflected in the XMP profile when setting is at Auto. This failure to function as set occurs at all speeds. Have no idea if another setting is causing the effective timing to be overridden.

• tRRDS can be set to anything, when speed is set to 3600, always functions @ 15 according to Aida64
• tRRDL can be set to anything, when speed is set to 3600, always functions @ 4 according to Aida64

Something very weird when functioning at 3600. Aida64-the read portion of the benchmark drops drastically to 28K. All the ram settings are set as reflected in the XMP profile as documented by Aida64, CPUID, and Thaiphoon Burner. When using the same kit and running it at 3466 and 15-15-15-15-35-50-7-9-43-5-13-26-607-451-278-CR 2T, which is perfectly stable-completes Prime95 24hr run, the read portion of the benchmark is at 50~51K. Even 3200 gets better read speeds. running ram @ 3600 still needs bios improvements.

*The secondary timings are able to be mathematically derived because of how Thaiphoon Burner shows the settings (tWTRS, tWTRL, tWR, tRFC1-4) Do not have access to the tCCDL setting even though is present in the XMP profile.

This has been a major bugbear point of many posts. The information is there, but the CH6 bios is unable to read or implement it.

Just wondering why CH6 not has an official agesa 1006 BIOS and other boards ROG STRIX X370-F and PRIME X370-PRO
to be specific has their official update since 6/26.

If somebody can answer this it would be great!

Thanks in advance

Since you are using the default 1201 bios I would suggest just using one of the pre-set D.O.C.P settings. I think it is either 2 or 4 for 3200MHZ. I use this setting and I have 64 Gig of RAM in my system and it lets your RAM get to 3199 which is only 1 point off of proper setting. Remember since it's Double Data Rate - Windows will only show it at 1599. The 1201 bios is the only one I can use to get my RAM to run properly without changing any other settings. Just by picking which ever one goes to 3199 . You will see this as one of the selections in drop down for D.O.C.P settings.

Thanx for the reply...

I updated to 1403, and tried also changing docp setting from standard to 2 and 4. Memory stays at 2133. I think this bios update fixed my temp reading though... My temp will read now between 19 and 25 before it was in the 40's. I still can't get my fans to slow down on my AIO... still blasting full power even after temp adjustment. I tried the qfan control optimize option but the fans on the radiator are still way too loud. I use fractal design s36 Celsius. Is there a setting anyone can suggest for the qfan control. No way fans should be blasting this loud with temps in the 20's?

Maybe a bit OT but I'm asking myself, if its possible to flash the Bios without a installed CPU?
Its working on other mainboards too.
Does anyone have actual infos?

Hello all.

Using the UEFI build 1403 on CH6 Hero with Ryzen 1800X with Vengeance LPX 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C14 Memory Kit - Red (CMK32GX4M4B3200C14R), I finally managed 2933 MHz.

With the UEFI build 1201 I was getting 2666 MHz, so, thank you for the improvement. Now, how about making it to 3200?

If you need any more info for "beta testing" the UEFI build 1403, let me know.

Last but not least, I work mainly with Adobe Photoshop & Premiere CC 2017 and game+stream with a 980 Ti on a 4K display (waiting on RX Vega). The system was and still is rock solid with my 4-12 hours projects of Premiere or gaming+streaming for 4-6 hours or so.

//EDIT:
1800X runs @ 4.0 GHz

I think the "reason", if you really need one, is probably that this board is owned mainly by enthusiasts and hardcore O/C owners and thus there is a lot more room for beta testing and feedback than on other boards. It probably could have been put on the main page weeks ago but if you have knowledgeable people constantly/consistently testing it and reporting every single tiny bug and you can keep fine-tuning it, then why on earth would you "push" it out? At this price, with this board, us owners of it (I own it as well) expect only the best quality, most thoroughly tested and stable product on the market, so if it's not there yet, then it's not there yet. If it was released and had any appreciable amount of bugs, you same people would be right here *****ing about the bugs, so....

This thread is FULL of high quality info and feedback so maybe just read and learn rather than troll....

But I HAVE to ask, why whine about it? lol if you want it, it's THERE, so download it? You are both posting in a thread with the link to the 1.0.0.6 in the OP so it's a little puzzling to me why you would ask why it isn't available if it's right there for you to download if you wish to do so. That's not fanboy-ism, that's just common sense? Who cares if it's "official" or not? If you have enough knowledge and/or want to continually update your bios and find this thread then I think this should all just kind of make sense to you... so I guess I fed the trolls?

[whiskey-foxtrot]

What bios are you using ?

Did they release a new one (except those betas 1401 and 1403) which they were supposed to release it before yesterday ? (agesa 1.0.0.6)

F4-3200C14Q-32GTZ,

im gonna buy that but it is possible to reach 3200 with 32gb kits. I mean is it too troublesome ? (or needs hardworking) (or needs expert oc knowledge)

thanks.

That's the exact memory I've been using since day one. Since 9945 I did not have to revert to BCLK OC'ing to get to 3200MHz and the drop down simply works.

Using stock timings of 14-14-14-34-48
