Hello
It seems some of the non-primary timings have been tightened for better performance. Manually setting these timings should allow mainstream memory to run at rated speed. Premium memory should not have any issues. The USB BIOS Flashback issue is being looked into.

There's 3 of us over at overclock.net who are having some serious issues with the new 0503 BIOS.
2 With a TUF Mark 1 and 1 with a Strix-E
Basically you can't use your ram at rated speeds anymore, they are stuck at 2133Mhz, if you tried the board will not post.
XMP or manually entering the primary timings don't work.

A member found the problem:
"It looks like 0503 broke something about how the secondary and tertiary timings are acquired (i.e. training). I manually entered the whole page of timings from what 0402 acquired, and I was able to boot with the same DRAM OC that I had previously. I then set one of the secondary timings back to AUTO, and I noticed it got set to a value corresponding to the base DDR4-2133 frequency."

The other problem is the BIOS will not let you roll back to 0402 within EZFlash, downloading 0402 BIOS from the Asus sites leads you to get a "Invalid File" error.
I was able to roll bac with USB Flash though, but people with Strix-E Boards aren't so lucky, the rollback just fails.
The ram I'm using is Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK32GX4M4B3200C16 32GB, but it's happening on G.Skill 3200 CL16 as well.

I have just tested the "fix" myself, the BIOS is most indeed not picking up the secondary timings on the ram, but Manually entering them allows you to post.

It also broke the TUF Mark 1's monitoring dongle, it just doesn't work at all after the BIOS update.

I will ask about this. Any more pertinent info?
BTW there is an official support thread on OCN: http://www.overclock.net/t/1635170/asus-x299-motherboard-series-official-support-thread

Sorry Raja, I missed that thread over there, heading back over now.
When I mean it broke the monitoring dongle, you just can't connect to it via bluetooth at all with 0503.
If I roll back to 0402 it works fine.

I've relayed the info to HQ. Awaiting a response. May take a few days, as the dude that handles this is busy.
