Is 5406 with 1004B? If so, my Prime X470 Pro have had it since Nov. It works great.

Same here (Asus X470 prime Pro), its been great since Nov. To be fair to ASUS, I am sure others have had issues but I have never ever had a single issue with any of their Bioses or boards and have used them pretty much exclusively for the last 10 years.

Same here. I pretty much jumped on every BIOS that came out even though the last one was fine. Even the one that lowered the voltage causing to lower the boost. This board has seen three Gens of Ryzen and two sets of RAM kits. Currently with a C-die running at 3466 Cl 16 with R7 2700. BTW, i figured how to get the BCLK from downclocking from 100. If your CPU is at stock, set the CPU Core Ratio to Manual.

Ah thankyou very much, that is my only issue the BCLK running at 99.8, I assume by doing this that my 3700X will still boost correctly etc ?

Try it. Just set the Custom CPU Core Ratio to Manual. That's it. But i am doing it with an R7 2700.

hmmm annoyingly I don't seem to be able to adjust that from auto, I tried disabling XMP and Precision boost but still couldn't adjust, must be a setting somewhere. Ah well cant say its a huge issue.

Hit F7 in the bios to bring up advanced menu, this should give you more options.

Already in there, my problem is that i can only change the custom core ratio from auto to a set value i.e (40) which is no good as that is essentially overclocking. Like I said no worries and really not a problem as I am perfectly happy with my setup, Thanks for trying though

Yes. But nothing for the X370 yet.

My B350F Strix does not have it either but ABBA works fine, so no rush.

@welshrat, you don't have this option?

Sadly No, its slightly different, The CPU Core Ratio is not a dropdown but you can enter the core ratio into the box, I don't have the DID FID options. It must be due to the CPU

Could be. My R5 3600 on a B350F does not have the option either. That confirms it. But, like you said, no big deal however annoying.

Received 3950X today - upgraded from a 1700x. Still using an older X370 board though (MSI Xpower Gaming Titanium) - a bit of messing around getting it to work, once the correct BIOS was on all good - and can even run my 64GB memory @ 3200 now which is nice.

However I'm getting really high idle temps with a Noctua NH-D15 (betweeen 45-50c) and running anything like Cinebench spikes it to max and causes thermal shutdown pretty much immediately!

Journey · 10 Jan 2020 at 08:54

VRM overheating? CPU volts going crazy? Maybe set it to 1.1v in the BIOS see what happens.

alec · 10 Jan 2020 at 09:04

Noctua should be able to cope. What happens on single thread load?

CPU volts at pretty much idle reads 0.7-0.8V in Ryzen Master - Peak reported @ 1.10V

VRMs overheating - this shouldn't affect the idle temps I assume?

Will give this a go later - in the middle of doing some work for the coming hours, don't want it to shutdown just in case

Tried this just now - Prime 95 on a single thread, temp goes up to about 77-80c. Not hot enough to force a shut down at least.

Does thermal paste in a tube degrade over time? I think the paste I used is from about 6 years ago iirc (Noctua NT-H1 if it's relevant!)

It won't degrade enough to cause that much of an issue. Have you reseated the heatsink?

Phate · 10 Jan 2020 at 10:09

Without wanting to condescending, is the heatsink seated 100% correctly? Sounds like it isnt making a good contact. When you take the heatsink off check to see how the thermal paste is spread across the top of the cpu.
