New bios released for the MSI X570 Ace

Since updating I can't get my 3700X to drop clocks from 4325Mhz @ 1.49v was idling at 0.9v before. I've tried different power plans and latest chipset drivers but no change, was working sweet before.

EDIT: Flashed back to v12 all is good again :rolleyes:

Download the new AMD chipset drivers to fix it.

Yeah I had already done that as per my post but no difference, I've even tried v13 again and the same issue with no downlocking returns. I'm assuming you are not having this issue?

Im on an all core overclock, I didnt like the high voltages in the first place, im at 4.325ghz, I have 1.37v for the cores set in the bios, however I have the vdroop setup so it droops perfectly to 1.325v under heavy load, with multi threaded apps and games etc the clocks were only hitting 4.150-4.2ghz max, OK single core was hitting 4.5ghz ish, but not a lot of what I do is single core anyway, so the all core manual overclock gives me the best speeds at the lowest voltage and coolest temps.

We should see AGESA ABB very soon.

One thing this new AGESA did bring for me was allow me to run my IF @ 1900mhz and overclock my RAM to 3800mhz, got it all stable at good voltages too, however, it made absolutely no difference in bechmarks etc, so to reduce temps, I just knocked my IF back to 1800mhz and RAM back to 3600mhz stock timings, I finding RAM this time isnt making that much of an impact on anything, especially above 3600mhz.

I've had quite good results messing with RAM timings...

CPU: 3700X - Stock PBO off
GPU: 2080ti - Stock
MB: MSI MEG ACE X570 AGESA 1.0.0.3AB
RAM: 16GB 3866C18 8-Pack

Using the Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark at 1080p highest preset:

3600MHz 1800FLCK C16 (67.1ns) = 137fps
3800MHz 1900FLCK C16 (64.7ns) = 142fps
3800MHz 1900FLCK C15 (63.8ns) = 149fps
101.8 blck x 3733Mhz 1866FLCK C15 (63.6ns) = 151fps

There's a new beta bios on the support page, 7C35v144(Beta version). Not tried it yet, updates the AGESA to 1.0.0.3ABB.

Sweet I will try that later, hopefully this will sort out high idle voltage intoruduced with v13

I've installed the latest beta, my 3800x seems to idle around 3600MHz now on the Ryzen Balanced plan. I was previously using v12 which was around 3875MHz at idle. Idle voltage seems to be dropping as well, although I didn't have that problem on v12. Other than that, I think there's a few more settings exposed, like the Geardown mode. Don't think that was there before?

A link to all MSI X570 beta bioses for 1.0.0.3ABB https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=323855.0

Im quite surprised to see the file size has also dropped by 4mb

And gear down mode was always there, it was moved to the command rate drop down menu, 1T, 2T or Gear Down.

Yeah v12 was good for me as well but v13 wouldnt drop from around 1.45v
 
Ok so the only way I get voltage to drop is if I enable cool'n'quiet in bios but also noticed this has negative impact on memory latency :rolleyes:

No because you are now manually overclocking, and hard set your bios, the only way you can get it to drop whist idle is to pstate overclock, I'm not sure if these bioses support it yet though, it's something I'm going to look into when I get time, failing that, it's set everything CPU related back to stock.

Scrap my last comment regards memory latency, I ran benchmark again and was around my usual 63.5ns with cool'n'quiet enabled so not sure what caused higher run before. With CnQ disabled my voltage when idle sticks to around 1.45 with CnQ enabled I get drops to 0.9. Temperatures are roughly the same though, idle is around 28-33° and all core load 59-64°.

I'm currently running my 3700X at stock, auto volts with no PBO and have noticed with latest bios I'm now regular hitting 4.45 across cores during either single core benchmarks or gaming, this was around 4.35 before so pretty happy with that.
