my GA-AX370-Gaming 5 has a BIOS update with the following info

Before update BIOS to F40, you have to install EC FW Update Tool (B19.0517.1 or later version) to avoid 4DIMM DDR compatibility on 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen™ CPU.

tools hosted on the same page, anyone else see similar on other boards? Curious about this requirement

Nothing for my board when I updated although it only has two slots.

Negative, but that is interesting... mine hasn't had anything since last month either though and I'm still on 0.0.7.2a. Though PBO in this one seemed to improve a little.

I checked out the list for your board, looks like it is a good bit ahead of mine update-wise. I wonder if that's going to be a thing across the X370's that are receiving third gen support?

I'm assuming the update tool is included with the bios download? Let us know how it goes if you do it. Nice looking board BTW, I like that cleaner design of it.. :toast:

Nothing for my asus board,ec fw update need for my other pc (b450 aorus pro wifi)

i'm looking forward to a 3rd gen board and getting PBO/some OC options

all i can do now is 102 bclk and leave it be

I could do 103 fine, but when I got my m.2 ssd, it disappears at that bclk, so I just rolled back to 100. I should try 102.

Got some performance from the 1903 update + chipset driver.

How do you change the bus clock on an Asus Tuf x470 Plus-Gaming I can't seem to find a setting to flick it up more

Also there's an BIOS update out for it to now ver: 5007

Kursah · Jul 3, 2019

Looks like Asus released a new BIOS yesterday for my ROG Strix X370-f Gaming, version 5009.

Wish there were more to the release notes...the last version was 4801. I'll have to give it a shot here soon, so far I've been pretty happy with 4801 on my 2700X.

EarthDog · Jul 3, 2019

Likely a tweak for zen2.

Be careful what cpu you plan on dropping in that thing... those vrms arent made for zen2 and pushing clocks.

GoldenX · Jul 3, 2019

My Zen2 beta bios dissapeared...

Any board capable of running a CPU of a certain wattage from the first two Ryzen gens will also be able to run a third gen CPU of similar wattage.

Same for the B350M Gaming Pro, wonder why MSI pulled the beta bios? Good thing I had already flashed it.

I hope it means they will release a stable one.

I haven't had any trouble with the beta that I could say was caused by the update.

Very likely.

And they could be turning the beta BIOS into an official release.

My temps are higher, my PBO clocks are on average lower, my CB scores went down from 1750-90 down to 1550-1630. But gaming still seems the same, and temps are fine during those. Not sure if I'm too concerned yet.

pay note to GoldenX , for the scheduler improvements that were put into win 10 for ryzen, you need 1903 with all updates and the latest system drivers from amd , this gave me a noticeable improvement.

Worked out the same for me but AMD saying they improved the chipset driver installer footprint on disk space is a negative. What good does it do me to have the Windows 7 drivers if I'm running Windows 10 nvm it duplicates the same drivers in C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming which amounts to 464 MB of wasted space for just chipset drivers.

GoldenX · Jul 9, 2019

There's also the C:\AMD folder.

Been on 1903 since it released. Did the chipset drivers direct from AMD on June 21 following @biffzinker suggestion on the previous page.

Unfortunately, I didn't see a noticeable improvement then, and what appears to be a benchmark performance degradation after firmware upgrade. So clearly something isn't quite right here, and I'll be glad to fix it if all it takes is a chipset driver update (again).

I may re-install the AMD direct drivers again...scratch that....looks like ASUS just recently (finally) released updated chipset drivers that I'm installing now. Will report back, rebooting now.

:toast:

Edit: Well initial CB15 showing I'm up to about 1650. But still a far cry from the 1780-1802 I was able to get before. Not sure that really matters. My gaming performance is still perfectly fine...but thinking this 5009 firmware changed a few more things. There are also some new PBO settings and features I may need to mess with or disable even. We shall see.

GoldenX · Jul 9, 2019

Raise all PBO settings to the max.

I did just order an Asrock B450M-HDV, 16GB G.skill Aegis DDR4 3000Mhz C16, a Ryzen 1200 and a 240GB Kingston A400 for a total of about €200. I'm giving away the computer in specs and realized I want something else and I realized the 1200's are dirt cheap. Shall try some light overclocking when I get it. May pick up a 2600 in the fall/winter if I find one used or at a big sale. My first full time AMD setup since the Athlon 64 Venice. I doubt this one will do +50% clocks.

Not 50%, but you can squeeze a 30% with a bit of luck out of that 1200. It's not hard to do 4GHz.

Installed the "lite" UEFI on my board, I love it, feels like a proper, old BIOS, fast and debloated.
Now I don't want the old interface.
