Just thought I would post this up here as a warning for anyone experiencing issues with Ryzen 3000 on their Taichi (or ANY R3k compatible ASRock mobo for that matter).

Basically, XMP does not work with Ryzen 3000 chips, any of them it would appear. It causes black screens, reboots, system hangs, lockups, boot loops or worse, wont even post.

For the Taichi specifically this includes both versions of R3K compatible BIOS (3.40 and 3.43). There's apparently a new BIOS coming next week to fix this.

Just to also state that this is also in addition to the BSOD people (like me) are getting with the WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR using Nvidia cards.

Yup I can second that issue with XMP and WHEA errors, but on the X370 Taichi (BIOS 5.60) with an Nvidia GPU.

I did however manage to set XMP but choose 3000Mhz instead of the normal 3200Mhz, and it does now boot and seem stable (so far), but WHEA errors still happen.
