ROG STRIX X670E-E GAMING WIFI
Latest March 2023 BIOS 0925

I noticed this Bios update on the main Asus support page, but it does not specify What the update does.
I noticed on march 3rd a beta bios got released with these details:
ROG CROSSHAIR / STRIX / PROART X670E Series Beta Bios 0925

1) UPDATE ComboAM5 1.0.0.5c BETA (before ver 1.0.0.5c RC3)

New AGESA version has been applied, but there may be bugs.
So please rollback to the previous version if you have any problems.

The new bios update does not state any Beta in the naming so is this an updated version with all fixes incorporated or is going to be a complete mess and crash every PC what runs it. I am going to hold off until i get some more info. If anyone has tried this then please share and hopefully we will get a stable Bios release which is worth installing.
Cheers

I generally suggest not to install a beta BIOS unless it has features wanted or fixed things you at having problems with.

I have the same board on 0805.. Rock solid stable.
I'll wait a while before updating mine, if you do update it, be sure to let us know how it goes

I am on 0922 with 7950X3D and I would love to update because my boot times are really long.

I have the same issue. It might be an ASUS motherboard thing with the 3D V-Cache CPUs. (I know Jayztwocents had a different ASUS motherboard that had issues similar to it. But his conclusion was that the motherboard was broken). I could be wrong, but from what I gather, the computer is doing memory training every boot, which is not normal. I forced the memcache, but I'll get blue screen if I do that. So I'll just put up with the long boot time for now.

I might end up trying the BIOS myself if no one else tries.

thats exactly my problem. sometimes its like "only" 45 seconds, but sometimes its 3 minuits as it reboots 3 times and everytime does memory training and then goes into windows.
I dont think its a motherboard defect, its just they way AMD CPUs work. They will be able to fine tune this in the future with new bios (Agesa) versions.
I am using 4x 16GB (64GB) DDR5 6000Mhz CL30 which is probably making my issues worse.
As more ram = longer training. Maybe also cause 4 sticks = longer training but not sure....i have not removed 2 sticks yet to test.
I am using EXPO II instead of EXPO I, no idea the difference but its a little quicker imo

And this is with enabling Memory Context Restore?

And this is with enabling Memory Context Restore?

have not touched this setting yet, will do when back home

But I read alot of "Computer doesnt boot when enabling Memory Context Restore" on the web

That's your problem. Almost guarantee it isn't stable. DDR5-4800 is the highest I've been able to go so far that passes memory tests. Now you could have a golden CPU or a shit ton of voltage to make it work. Us normals aren't getting 4x32 anytime soon on AM5

It is stable using it since the day my 7950x3D arrived at my door. like 10 days without any issues. it just takes long to boot.

For test purposes i am going to install the latest Bios to see what performance and stability issues happen. I will report this back tomorrow. Boot times can be really long especially if a system crash happens and then reboots. You may even notice the memory training code just sits in a frozen state on boot up. There are some strange bugs with the new platform, which is going to take time to iron out. Well here goes with the Bios update........ May God Have Mercy On Our MotherBoard

I have updated and used my saved profile and so far so good. It feels more stable and i have done some benchmarks and memory tests and whatever was causing the issue on the previous bios 922 seems to be fixed. I have shutdown , restarted and i cannot replicate what was happening previously so that must be a good thing. One thing i recommend though update through the bios flashback button as this i have found works better than going into the bios loading default settings etc. I will do more tests overnight and i will let everyone know tomorrow.

you are a hero!

 

[Ryodu]

what kind of issues you had before?

 

[Nam-A-M-D]

what kind of issues you had before?

I was getting blue screens on bootup, memory training issues and freezing, black screen refusing to show login/pin screen after restarting. It was a complete mess and no matter what setting i used even running without PBO and EXPO would still cause problems.

 

[ir_cow]

Opening HWInfo isn't considered a valid way to tell if the memory is stable.

bro 10 days not a single blue screen or system freeze or any other issue besides the slow boot time.
During those 10 Days i have played plenty of video games. Overclocked my CPU. Did run Prime95 + Cinebench R15/R20/R23 and even run testmem5 to check overclocking stability.

Believe me it works. My system had not a single hick up yet.
The Info you are sharing with 4800Mhz beeing highest possible is either old or wrong. No offence.

I did update to Bios 0925 now as well.
No difference for me since my only issue is the boot time beeing between 1min to 3min depending on how many cycles of memory training it decides to go for. No Idea why and how to stop it.
Cant say much about stability yet since I updated 30mins ago

It could be outdated now. AMD is pumping out AGEAS updates like crazy. What was impossible a month ago, might not be now.

 

[pomato]

I decided to update it.
Not much change. It does seem a bit more stable within Windows.
However, it's still doing memory training every boot up.

So far no problems running this new Bios. I recommend installing this one.

Still slow boot times. Asus is the worst this go around lmao. I did the memory context restore, it was better than last bios where that blue screened on boot, this time it lasted a bit but then blue screened random.

There is a brand new Beta Bios, but I normally dont got for Beta, only if I have to. Slow boot times are annoying but other than that my PC runs like a champ.
Maybe someone wanna try. new AGESA has potential to help with boot times and RAM stability.

cheers I will check this out. Boot speed will hopefully get resolved eventually.
