Link.

Any changes with the later AGESA/BIOS updates?

 

[kayone]

So what are peoples thoughts on the news that AMD have suggested they can push out further optimisations to ensure better (to advertised) booting via the BIOS?

 

[kayone]

Why not give AMD a chance to put it right before passing judgement?

Agreed completely. It's a very bold and brave move form AMD to put their hands up and looking to rectify.

Interesting results for a beta leak of the new BIOS from zaMD.

Still no ABBA for the MSI Carbon..

 

[kayone]

I think you need to check again, the ABBA Bios has been there since the 18th.

For B450? I can only see 7B85v19 from 30/8.

 

[kayone]

Sorry Kayone, I thought you were talking about the x570 Carbon.

ABBA for the B450 Carbon has finally arrived for anyone interested.

 

[kayone]

Finally got around to switching BIOS on the B450 Carbon to ABBA - performance difference is minimal really.

 

[kayone]

It seems to have revealed different 'Overclocking' options in BIOS from what I had previously.. and 'Game Boost' seems to have appeared too, although doesn't seem to help much

Sorry to jump in and ask a question that’s almost certainly been answered. Huge thread and I’m hoping to order sharpish for delivery tomorrow...

I have an x570 board and all but case and CPU.

I’ll almost exclusively be gaming (RTX2080) too.

Is there any real value in getting a 3700x, and is it still the case that the 3600x isn’t worth the £60 more than the 3600?

TLDR: will I still get the best out of a new gaming build using a 3600 with an RTX 2080, or shall I plump for the 3700x?

Agree with @RavenXXX2, save the additional and buy some.. RGB

Just a quick update. Thus far my all core Ryzen Master profiles are:

4200MHz @ 1.175v
4300MHz @ 1.225v
4400MHz @ 1.275v

Also testing out a profile where 3 cores are 4GHz and 3 cores at 4.5GHz at 1.275v

I keep tweaking the voltage until fully stable for my needs.

This must be an insanely good chip you have. I'm way over 1.3v to reach anywhere close to even 4.2Ghz on all core.

If I got the 3600 and paired it with a MSI B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC, would I need to do a BIOS update or anything prior?

On a website it is saying this for some reason:

"Warning! Some AMD B450 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Matisse CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions"

I use this combination and a BIOS update was indeed needed. Very simple to to however on the mobo.
