What is Agesa 1.0.0.6? I've only just updated to F12h, and redid my memory overclock. The same settings between F12f and F12h did not work, so I'm not in a hurry to flash this one without knowing its better for me. I mean the last one said "memory" update. I think the real reason my scores are a tiny bit better is because the base clock is closer to 100Mhz.
 
I had to start from scatch. This time I didn't just blindly follow DRAM calculator which is a bit hit n miss. I went to the techpowerup! Ryzen overclocking guide (written by the author of DRAM calculator) and found that procODT 53.8Ohms (auto) gave 11 errors in TM5; 40Ohms gave zero. So from there it was a case of tuning. However I just wanted something stable and went with 3600Mhz. I've had Corsair Vengence Pro RGB M2Z3600C18 @ 3800Mhz and 2 kits of Patriot Viper Steel 4400C19 @ 3800Mhz but after testing with TM5 v3 (20 cycles) I think the higher ambients made the Patriots unstable (now I have a fan trained on the four dimms with a fan curve set to ambient temps).

I think tuning proODT is key for my RAM and when I shoot for 3800Mhz its where I'll start. I will probably see what I can get with F12h and then try F20a.

With M2Z I had 1.42v reported @3800Mhz and dropped it to 1.38v (1.35v set in bios). With the Patriot I was using 1.46v I believe but now I have set 1.35v @ 3600Mhz. You can click my sig for a little more info.
 
I downloaded it but I'm sticking with F12h for the moment. I have just had my Samsung C24FG73 go **** up, and I'm looking for advice on badcaps.net (where I went to repair the monitor I'm using now: a Samsung 2232BW). Also I am running a raid10 and I think I should install AMD raidxpert2 because when I came back to my PC after 9 days it said the array was failed; but booting into windows (from another drive) fixed it.
 
I notice AMD have updated their X570 sata/raid drivers. I'm using a raid10 on my board currently without raidxpert2. So if I upgrade my bios it potentially could mean my memory overclock is unstable (happened last time from F12f to F12h), and I could lose my array. I lost my array but it came back again after I booted into windows (I think aslong as you don't delete it in the bios it picks itself back up)(I lost it after leaving it running for over a week I believe booted from the array itself). It may be that raidxpert2 helps with stability, it rechecks the array when you install it.
 
F30 is the only one that matters if you're upgrading to 5900x/5800x. I've never upgraded a bios whilst running raid 10. I have a backup 2 backups of my data so not an issue if it goes **** up. Also I've experienced memory tuning to not carry over from f12f to f12h, so I need to wait till I've got time to potentially redo my RAM settings. Only 3600Mhz 16,16,15,32 1t 288tRFC (4 x 8GB b-die @ 1.35v) geardown mode enabled.
 
I just overclock the ram and leave other settings at default. Happy with 3800MT/s cl16. Only difference I've noticed is that it doesn't have 4 inputs on front panel for USB but it makes no difference as I generally only use it one at a time, thats just because its a lower tier board.
