Crosshair VI Hero: UEFI build update thread

[syldon]

Im still on 1403 and followed this guide

https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthrea...ance-amp-Guide

After that I didnt have a single issue with gskill flare x @3200 and pstate OC @3.8 with ryzen 1700. Is it still advisable to update the bios?

What is your CPU voltage sitting at? The maximum recommendation is 1.4. That guide says 1.475v then add load line 4 to it. You must be hitting 2v at some points. 1.6 is considered extreme over volting.

cpu @1.378v and ram @1.35v*

Finally sorted. This is my fourth post, because I was certain I understood wtf I was doing. Seems not.

Anyways got my head around what needs to be done when setting up the timings manually. For anyone who wants to spend a couple of days working through timings start by using this link. I had to make a sheet up just to keep track of what I was changing, which helped me understand it in the end.

This set up ran through memtest86 zero errors. Probably the most serious couple of hours of my life. It comes back near to the 70ns latency. I was hoping for sub 70 but it wont drop any lower without finding errors (or at least not for me).



My voltages are dram on auto (1.35), Cpu offset +0.02500, soc offset+ 0.0375. Still getting the occasional cold boot error haven't tried upping the retries yet, that is next, it doesn't defer these settings actually work now.



MI skew is left disabled
Bankswap enabled (disabled was causing cold boot errors)
gear down is also enabled. My system wont boot above 3333 with gear down disabled.
power down is disabled (still testing stuff)

Can you please tell me where to find the BankSwap setting in the bios ?

Advanced > AMD CBS > UMC common options > DRAM memory mapping.

The most common recommendation is bankswap disabled, and bankswapalt enabled to help reduce latency by a little. I was finding that it made my system a little unstable on 9920. I am not done setting up on 1501 yet to repeat that claim.

When are we actually going to see some of the important fixes make it into a new BIOS? I think fixing the cold boot issue and ensuring the AIO Pump and CPU Fan headers don't shut off are two issues that should be well ahead of what was done for 1501. I would also like to see the duplicate settings disappear, because setting them in one place and then having to double check in them in another is kind of annoying.

The duplicate settings in the CBS section is a benefit for oc'ing. If it does not take, the settings a wiped. Main thing, it is recommended that if the setting is input ouside of CBS, the CBS setting is to be left on Auto. The other area settings override what is set in the CBS section. No double checking is needed.

1201 BIOS with D.O.C.P (4) - this BIOS with this BIOS setting without changing anything else allowed for 64 Gig of 3200MHZ Trident Z RAM to run at 3199 which is as close as you can get.

From every single BIOS since I'm unable to get even close or over the 2133MHZ period.

What changed with the D.O.C.P (4) that is now not allowing this to work?

Would you be able to in future or in the next release of BIOS 150x replace the D.O.C.P (4) with exactly what was in BIOS 1201???

i am using an 1800x and corsair vengence lpx 3200mhz, with 2 sticks of ram my 1800x will run at 4ghz at 1.4v with ram at 1.35v at 3200mhz, with 4 sticks of ram it take 1.438v at 4 ghz and the ram won't go over 3,000 mhz at 1.4v, i require 32 gb of system ram for my programs, x-plane 11 specifically uses 18gb of system ram and 9gb of vram. i am using bios version 1501, we need some optimization for 4 sticks, i had 2 sticks of corsair dominator platinum 16X2 and i had to get rid of it because it wouldn't go over 2400mhz and it was a 3,000 mhz kit. is there a 2 stick 32gb that works correctly on ryzen? this is starting to get aggravating. it's costing me more for amd than it did for intel. the whole point was to have a 8 core 16 thread cpu at half the price of intel. i am starting to think it's not worth it.i also expected better from asus after 4 months, seriously.i love my ryzen build, i just want it to work correctly.

Hello!
I have Ryzen 1700x, Asus Crosshair Hero VI bios 1403, 16 gb ram Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3200C16R and Strix GTX 1080 and i have this problems:
- when it clicks on the power button(case NZXT Noctis 450) it starts 2-3 seconds, then stops (or restarts, i hear a "click", starts and stops the lights) and after starts again without problems, booting in windows.
- If I connect the Hdmi cable I can see everything on the monitor from the start and with the DisplayPort cable I can display the image only after entering the windows.
How can i resolve that problems?
Thanks!

i did everything you posted but i can't get a cold boot with ram on 3600 :S
I use the G.skil Trident Z Rgb 3600 16gb (2*8) so far i can only get it to work on 3466 (cold boot).

I can say that when i set my ram to default speed (3000mhz) i have same behavior than your system in cold boot- start, stop and start. If i set my ram to 2133mhz the mobo has a normal behavior.
