AGESA 1.2.0.8

[Cowboystrekk]

Do you use bios values for reported voltages or software in windows or both?

I use zentimings and hwmon64

I tried lowering DVID. It also lowers SOC for some reason. Down to -48mv seemes to give no performancedrop, -60mv seems to give slight drop.

In CB23 with -30CO:
-No offset 15150p 96W, 74C
-60mv 14950p 85W, 68C
-48mv 15050p 87W, 70C

Quite impressive

What's your PPT btw?

In TimeSpy or TimeSpy Extreme, does CPU clock stay pegged? I've lowered all power limits, to IIRC 110, 72, 110 got 15000-15090 in C23 but on TimeSpy I could see tons of downclock spikes at the graph when you finish the benchmark even though it looked like it didn't affect the score it was worrying to see which could translate to frame pacing issues

PPT 110W, no downclocks on CB23, stays at 4450. havent tried timespy, can give it a shot

Same here on CB23 problem is when it's a 3D load (timespy or timespy extreme) 3Dmarks own graph post bench shows a ton of downclock spikes, like those really sharp that go down to 300mhz (at the worst) so it looks to be a millisecond downclocking

In the CPU-benchpart? If it's in the GPU bench it is natural due to mostly GPU-load.

No, only on the GPU load part:

This is with Power limits of: 110, 80, 100. -30 CO. Cinebench R23 = 15100

Ram and voltage:

Interesting performance. I see your effective clocks are also 4450, but 14200 is a score more typical of bone stock 5800X3D. I can't even stick to 4450 for the duration of a loop, but am always at 15000, at below 100W stock limits. Not even at -30 I think, like -25 or -28. Strange how these samples vary so wildly.

Tried Vcore offset once, didn't seem to work so great on my sample in terms of performance.

because i didnt quit anything in the background and had a dozen programs open - that wasnt a benchmark run.
This is a knife benchmark run

Nothing fancy, i just quit my browsers, discord, chat programs etc this time

If you offset too much, you lose clock speed as the CPU lowers VID and clocks with it instead of going unstable like the 2D CPUs do.
That may be an asus exclusive behaviour, i dont know since the voltage offset is rare.

New AGESA but not much information in the changelog.
- AGESA ComboAm4v2PI 1.2.0.B update.
- AMD security issue patch.

You can try the same on 1206/1208 to see if performance improves at all, but 15200 ish is basically the limit for R23 multi core without BCLK.



I had noticeably increased power and temps which I struggled to deal with but still wrestled it back to about 15100 in the end. About the same as 1207.

Others also report 1207 and 1208 basically the same.

I think it's another security patch only? Too many vulnerability names floating around these days, can't keep track of which is which.

Good for you? Matisse performance is a known factor now for......the last 3 years?

Good for you? Matisse performance is a known factor now for......the last 3 ynot picking at yu but i dont see why anyone woooould want a more than usual thermally limited cpu to game with not enough perfprmance gain to have to put up with the heat battle

You may want to add what motherboards since the vendor tend release at different times like Asus always drops bioses before Gigabyte.

When I check for my board Asus hasn't released it yet.

Thought they all released it anyway i saw it on MSI both 4th and 5th series.

Sweet clocks, it is still a slow CPU though.

Nice OC

Asus before gigabyte? Hmmmm that's a spicy one

waiting for Asus to keep up with agesa updates be like



Fortunately, not needing fTPM functionality means not needing the last 4 AGESA releases either

It seems that Gigabyte skipped the 1.2.0.A

TPM is still broken with 1.2.0.B

Broken how? I dont have any problems.

 

[tabascosauz]

Is this the TPM attestation issue?

I see it's finally available for the Asrock x570 Taichi

I noticed that the last few versions of BIOS files on MSI had the same size and only 0.02 MB compared to older ones this one is 0.04 bigger than last one, they added "a few" security fixes for sure
Not sure if its worth flashing it , too lazy to set everything up again .. memory timings etc..

I installed a hardward TPM module after upgrading to the 5800X3D due to the TPM attestation issue that wasn't there when I was on the 5800X.

now I don't worry about it.

Truly.

My board got it on October 26th, though. Definitely not "a month ago", sadly lmao

"1. Update AGESA version to ComboV2PI 1.2.0.B
2. Update AMD 5000/3000 Series CPU fTPM version, please back up Bitlocker recovery key before updating this version BIOS

Looked around and reports of ComboV2PI 1.2.0.B go all the way back to September.
