Crosshair VI Hero: UEFI build update thread

[rsquires]

Has everyone seen this update? https://community.amd.com/community/...-and-destiny-2

Nearly thought I had a motherboard issue when going from R7 1700X to R7 2700X and my temps spiked to 85+C on idle.. A few hours of looking thought uEFI settings is dawned on me the issue was not the bios, not cpu or motherboard issues... my H115i is in process of RMA. But on a CM Hyper 212 EVO with a Corsair SP120L, I'm impressed that is stays under 65C at load when gaming and off-time mining.

So question is when we get 1.0.0.4 ?

[mvmiller12]

LOL. We don't even * officially * have 1.0.0.3 (or A or AB or ABB) yet...

Yesteday ASRock rolled out 1.0.0.3ABB for mostly all B3xx/X3xx/B4xx/X3xx Boards. Asus is a shame right now... truly! The funny thing is that they call the Crosshair/Hero Series "premium"...

correct. System boots fine with my 1800x installed but fails to post with 3900x installed regardless of bios versions available. CH6 rev 1.03 *Post code hangs on 07

Have you tried the new beta bios that seems to fix this issue. 7304. I am running this version and it solved my 07 post codes. Its still a beta bios and some things dont seem to work, but my boost goes to 4.5 and my memory oc'd to 3600cl14

Hello Community,

just wanna ask, if there is a reason, to upgrade from my 6903 Bios to 7201(C6H).
On the support/download site, there is "ZERO" information about changes.
I heared the 7106 has some problems with over-voltages. So I didn't concider to update jet.

But if there are features, that are worth to do so, I would give it a try. And only, if I could finaly run my DIMM's at 3466, as they're named.

Thanks and have a great week

Hey there =)

The thing they say about UEFI/BIOS updates is one of the hardest lessons I could learn in this industry - and I'm not trying to be a smart ass here: "Never change a running system!". And that's true. If you do not have any issues and your components work according to your expectation - leave it be. Especially if you do not use a Zen 2 chip. I went from a 1600X to the 3600X and I was on 6903 for the majority of it's life - after it became available. The fan smoothing does not work at all but I just abandoned it and worked around it with a T-Probe. So - in all seriousness - leave it be. Wait until the truly mature Zen 2 UEFIs are out and then you can consider it.

Hey!
Thanks for your comment!
Yes, my system is running cool, fast enough and stable.
So there is no real reason for me to update the Bios. Its only, I would like to run my Dimms at the specs say.
There is also no real reason to hunt the last mhz. 3200 or 3466? Who cares.
So yep, I leave it. I'm still happy with my 1800x

Maybe later this year, I'll do a full upgrade. Or next year, when prices are going down.
So I have more time to consider about, what CPU I shall buy.
Just to mention it.

Thanks again and have a great week!

The only thing these 7000 series BIOS updates are doing is adding Zen 2 support (Ryzen 3000 series). If you don't have one of these chips, there is no advantage to upgrading for you.
