Updated AMD Ryzen 3000 chipset drivers and power profile

[TheLostSwede]

Well, it might not be the CPU after all.
Gigabyte just released a new UEFI with AGESA 1.0.0.3ABB (I really wish AMD would use better naming conventions for the AGESA) and lo and behold, now it goes over 4.4GHz, not quite 4.5GHz, but still...

It won't give you the individuals clocks but you will see usage for each core. You have to change the view to all logical processors. I will check again but I think it might give you core speeds too. I will confirm when i get home today.

I know how to see all the logical processors... I'm looking at it now.

What it doesn't show is each core's speed.....and there isn't a way to do it with task manager.

Big! I need to check this and update......

 

[TheLostSwede]

Well, well... The new AGESA seems to really have improved things.

Note that each of the cores were tested individually to hit 4,475. It's not an all core boost to that speed. But at least, all cores are capable of hitting that speed, which is a big jump up from what I had before flashing the new UEFI.

XMP is still not working for my RAM though, despite the manual timings being tighter...

Cinebench 20 is also up in terms of performance, best score I've gotten so far.

Ok thanks I wasn't sure but it does give you the general speed (not for each core) right?

 

[EarthDog]

How do you keep replying INSIDE other people's quotes? LOL

It does give you speed, yes, but not for each core.

Haha I have to figure that one out. Thanks I thought so too but I wasn't sure.

 

[TheLostSwede]

And it seems PBO is also doing something now, not much, but something...
Still in 3700X territory...

it is obvious that you are a relieved and happy customer.

Hahaha...
Well, it's at least a step in the right direction.
Happy, maybe not, as it's still too close to the 3700X to be worth the extra $100, but at least now, it's kind of delivering on the claimed numbers.

 

[jesdals]

Hmm the download isnt available at Gigabyte support any more

Yeah if you think about it like that you won't be happy about it. I've decided to think about it as if the 3700X never existed. If you think of it like that and the performance the chip offers for it's price it seems like a deal. When you factor in the cost of the 3700X it is just irritating.

That's the problem, AMD released a product that there really was no need for. Sure, there's that supposed 300MHz higher base frequency, but even with all cores loaded, they never seem to drop below 4.x GHz and I have a feeling the 3700X is the same. So even that brings little to no benefit.

It is all in the BIOS and power plan for me 4525 Mhz in light loads/gaming

the i9-9900 non-k boosts to 5ghz, i am wondering if i turn on max boost on a msi z390 mobo, if it will sustain 5ghz all cores no downclock... even though its just a 65w chip... if so... this is the real game changer chip imo... $440 not bad really, and temps will be great... but so far no one has confirmed this is possible. i only read a lot of people who dont make BIOS changes say all core boost is around 4.7... but MSI has that setting in BIOS that makes it easy...

honestly leaning towards this if it works over ryzen. about $40 more than what you paid, but I am not impressed with all the driver issues with ryzen at the moment. but security is also important to me, which means maybe I should go ryzen. bleh.

Managed to download the new bios from Gigabyte and tried some new setting - im not sure how to make printscreens in bios, but here is the result

A lift from 5700/530ish score

I have made a setting in bios enableing 4500 MHz and PBO, fixed Vcore 1,4 volt and XMP on mem with fixed Voltage of 1,35

I did try 4550MHz but was not stable, need further benchmarking in game to se stability, but looks interesting

Bios is the f5k for the Gigabyte Aorus Master

That's not an all core at 4.5, is it? Or is that just the individual boosts per core?

 

[jesdals]

HWinfo shows it as a stable all vore setting. I did try to make printscreens from bios, but no luck - but heres som not to sharp pics from my Ipad - sorry. But these are the settings + a higher fan curve than standard on cpu

Fixed voltage for cpu/mem

Custom setting at Pstates - did try 4550MHz, but not stable - going to try again if these setting holds

Infinity Fab set to match memory - looking forward to bether mem

Enable PBO

 

[chief-gunney]

and what would be the difference? both would go 4.4 when needed.

@TheLostSwede is that stock?cause 1.47v seems very high

1.47v is not high, they are designed to go to 1.5v. have a read of this post on Reddit -https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/cjzax5/amd_cant_say_this_publicly_so_i_will_half_of_the/?st=jysk1f3k&sh=935bb0a9

this makes no sense

My CPU is running hot during idle because of the 1.5v voltage!
Short answer: it's not due to the voltage, it's due to actual boosting, by design.

why is is boosting so high then ? and why does low load boost require same voltage as high load boost ?


the guy can say whatever he wants to defend amd,but sitting in 80s at 1.5v during gaming is not ideal for a cpu.I think amd could do it cause of the solder and low tdp and went with cause otherwise they'd achieve no frequency improvement over ryzen 2000.

he calls 50 degrees in idle "a you-problem",what an amd bot.doesn't he know the cooler will ramp up too ?

Plug in a USB drive and then it's one of the F keys, hit F1 for help and it should tell you.

You got much, much higher CPU-Z numbers than I can get, highest score I've manged is in my signature.

 

[jesdals]

Did some gaming and its stable, going to test for a longer period befor making any changes. But it seems that chipset runs hot. 80,5c will follow that closely.

Its the temp marked with red. I am not sure if its the southbridge or the chipset surronding the cpu?

Edit: well did not go higher, so cranked it up to 4525MHz all cores, going to se how it behaves here. Wanted to se if it where capped at 4500MHz in some way. My privious highest on core speed is 4604MHz but if this is stable I might leave it here

There's a manual option for setting the chipset fan now, so you can increase the speed it runs at.

If you check his max voltage numbers, he is 0.1 lower than what you got. Might help with lower temps allowing higher clocks.

I've had some many problems with this damned chip, that at this point, I'm just happy to get what I'm getting.
I'm trying to get AMD to have a look at what's going on, as my chip is not behaving like a 3800X, it's behaving like a 3700X.

Did you try manual lowing the cpu voltage at least by 0.05V in order to see if you can get more stable boost clocks?
