What problems ? In general, you need a 1st or 2nd gen Ryzen to upgrade BIOS for 3000 series.Are people having just as many problems w/ bios update for Ryzen 3000 on boards for the above manufacturers as on MSI?
Thank you.
The problem is, a lot of 3000 series are not boosting to advertised limits for example;What problems ? In general, you need a 1st or 2nd gen Ryzen to upgrade BIOS for 3000 series.
Yes, AGESA and BIOS are to blame. Ever since BIOS 5007 I have seen steady decline in boost speed, from pretty regular 4.375 on one or two cores to barely 4.316 on one core and even that holds for very short time, visible only when I shortened polling interval to 500mSec in HWinfo,The problem is, a lot of 3000 series are not boosting to advertised limits for example;
my 3600X is supposed to boost to 4400mhz only getting @4316. This is with the Bios to fix the issue

My 2600X would boost crazy with precision boost overdrive on this same set up, it started at 5ghz gaming worked all the way up to 7ghz all cores on air(CPUID Hardwaremonitor) don't care about the validity but had to screenshot because huh? 5g on all cores? 6,7? probably some glitch however switched to 3600X and an AIO and this 4241/4316...Yes, AGESA and BIOS are to blame.

I thought I might not have very good CPU sample but I can OC to 4.4GHz at 1.416v just fine so boost on one or 2 cores should be a cinch. Another problem is voltage, if left to it's own devices (auto) it would jump to over 1.525v on idle causing temps to jump over 70c at the beginning and going over 62c during the load at which temperature boost gets lowered.
