I updated from 1.0 to 1.6 without issue.

I can't remember the last time I did a BIOS flash to be honest, how easy was it? I really don't want to brick my expensive motherboard!

I updated mine to 1.60. Don't see any problems.

What settings are you guys using? I left everything in default and just put XMP on.

Voltage is still fluctuating but apparently that's "normal behaviour"

Would be good to share bios settings to find the best settings.

im on bios 1.60 myself also

on my 3900x i turned on xmp for my 3200mhz ram

changed core ratio to 43.00

chanded vcore to fixed with value 1.300

only 2 things i have done on this mobo

So chuck it on a blank USB stick, select the BIOS flash option in the BIOS itself, and the rest takes care of itself?

Cheers mate, much appreciated. Now I just need to find a blank USB stick!

do you put the .ZIP file on the USB stick or the file contained within the Zip? (X570TC1.6)

Extract the zip to your desktop and drag the bios file over to the usb stick.

The file within the zip

I emailed Asrock about the CPU fan curve and Destiny 2 yesterday. They emailed me a new BIOS, version 1.65 with AGESA 1.0.0.3AB to try out. I'll give it a shot once I am home. Im In 1.60 at the moment which seems to be the latest one on their website.

Now you can overclock IF and it actually works. The fan thing still not fixed but I think Im going to change the 3 side fans to a Chassis port instead of CPU fan 2.

Zernath · 19 Jul 2019 at 17:42

Is it possible to alter the chipset fan speeds on the stock BIOS? The whine is starting to get to me!

Yeah go on the monitor section, all the way down you have SB fan, put it on Silent. You have to be on BIOS 1.60 though, that option is not on previous versions from what I heard.

Okay, I'm on the factory BIOS still, would you believe I can't find a single unused USB stick in my house! I'll have to buy or borrow one ASAP, because I can't put up with it much longer!

I notice this board has an 8pin power with an additional 4 pin aswell. I'm sure I remember buildzoid saying you don't need the extra 4 pin for general use so I didn't bother plugging that in, does anyone know if that will cause problems or am I good with just the 8pin?

It shouldn't since your CPU is not going to draw that much power unless you are overclocking the 3900X with LN2.

Thanks, I thought that was the case but I figured I'd best check beforehand

Put it on the root of your C: drive and try to browse to it from Instant Flash in the BIOS .. worked on my last board.. not tried it on this one though.

I'll have a USB stick by Sunday, so I'll just do it the recommended way and fingers crossed I don't brick the board!

Strange they have uploaded that bios into their server.

I've put it on Windows balanced and the voltage drops under 1 idle.
