Ryzen AGESA 1.0.0.6

[Venlord]

Just saw that MSI posted a new BIOS update with the AGESA 1.0.0.6 update. The release date shows 6/23 but I did not see that yesterday. Anyway I just flashed the BIOS and using the XMP profile 1 brought my memory speed from 2667 to 2800, 2933 still not possible. Could be worth flashing the BIOS if you have a Ryzen motherboard and memory speed issues, though the update might not be available for your motherboard yet.

There seems to be more RAM speed options now and they go as high as 4000mhz. There are also other options that were not there before.

Ryzen 7 1700, MSI Carbon X370, Corsair Vegeance LPX 3000(Hynix)@2800mhz

Praying that the Gigabyte Aorus X370 Gaming K7 ends up getting it, as that's the one I ended up with.

Ripjaws V RAM sticks tend to work well with Ryzen anyways, so my chances should be good either way.

If it does not have it already it should eventually. I have noticed that the G.SKILL Ripjaw memory tends to hit higher speeds as well, had I known that would have been the case I would have used that instead.

Would be weird if any card wouldn't get it and even more so for the most premium ones like the one you've got.

I just checked the website it looks like the Gaming K7 AGESA 1.0.06 update is available for download, based on the BIOS description.

Alright. When I finish the build I'll use this. To update the BIOS, it's just inserting a USB stick and installing, right?

Yeah something like that.

You download the file onto the USB drive, unzip it.

Restart the computer and enter the BIOS and there should some sort of option to flash the BIOS . It should be able to find the BIOS file and select that file in order to flash it. It varies from motherboard to motherboard, not sure how Gigabyte handles their BIOS flashes.

Gigabyte has been the worst about this whole thing; until I see improvement from them, I will refuse to ever recommend any AM4 Boards from them, until something changes.

ASUS has been the overall best in all of this, MSI I would fair around 2nd...

According to recent reviews and such the K7 is the 2nd best board.

Bottoms up I guess

After Taichi? Crosshair VI?

Among the cheaper boards I had the impression the ASUS X370 Prime Pro (not in that order) was supposed to be one of the better.

How much worse is MSI X370 Carbon Pro? Gigabyte X370 Gaming 3 and 5 with or without K?

I don't think theres anything wrong with the K7. I was going to go with that board, but it was taking too long for the K7 and Taichi to appear in stock so I went with the MSI Carbon. This was back before Ryzen 5 was even out.

Taichi lacks a dual BIOS and the Crosshair is expensive.


Back to the original topic, how much improvement can one expect with this update?

You know what I'm not sure I just flashed the BIOS today. From what I can tell this update just allows for a lot more RAM frequency options, more BIOS options. Peformance wise I don't don't think there was a dramatic change. Cinebench scores were still the same, gaming was still the same. I think this update was mainly about RAM compablity and BIOS options.

Like you could not even clock the memory to 2800mhz until now.

What I meant was how much more likely is it to get the RAM up to a higher speed?

Sorry for the misclarification.

You never need a dual bios; never have before, never now...
Gigabyte is a joke; all their boards rank some of the slowest for Ryzen platform, period.
A majority of all the ASUS, ASRock, and MSI come way highly recommended at the very top of the Ryzen listings; no Gigabyte board comes close.

You know what I'm not really sure. I think I only got a higher speed because my memory was probably capable of 2800mhz on the Ryzen platform but the option was never there until now.

However I'm pretty much convinced now while not stuck at 2667mhz, 2800mhz is probably the highest I can clock my memory. I'm convinced now that my memory will never hit 2933mhz(there is no 3000mhz option). The best thing someone can do when it comes to Ryzen and memory is look at the memory QVL and maybe even go for the Samsung RAM since those seem to have had more luck with speeds.

When you say the Gigabyte boards are slow what do you mean? I didn't think the motherboard had a huge impact on performance in some scenarios. Were they just slow to release BIOS updates?
