AMD Ryzen reminiscence troubles to be eased with new motherboard beta BIOS updates

A put up on Gigabyte’s own US forums claims a brand new replace will repair the present flaky reminiscence compatibility blighting some AM4 boards and a few Ryzen CPUs. When? Well, it ought to seem within the subsequent spherical of beta BIOS updates.

This yr has seen a seismic shift in gaming processors, so right here’s our choose of the best CPUs round as we speak.

Currently it may be a little bit of a lottery as to which boards play properly with which reminiscence, and the identical might be stated for the processors themselves. When I used to be testing the Ryzen 5 1600X towards the R5 1500X the wonderful hex-core chip simply managed to function with its DDR4 reminiscence working at three,000MHz whereas the quad-core chip might solely attain 2,667MHz with the identical Crucial DIMM package. Yeah, awkward.

The put up by one in every of Gigabyte’s US technical marketeers although claims the AGESA 1.zero.zero.6 microcode replace will beef up Ryzen’s reminiscence compatibility with over twenty new reminiscence kits registered with computerized assist out-of-the-box. There are different fixes within the upcoming code, however no less than for us the reminiscence compatibility is probably the most attention-grabbing.

Just to recap these are the opposite points reportedly additionally being labored on:

*For these in search of IOMMU fixes we’re hopefully going to have an choice to power boot off a selected PCIe slot. Its not the grouping repair, however a piece round for now.
*Disable LAN (Per request)
Disable Audio (Per request)
“ROM Image replace” (Being labored on with AMI, no ETA)
Cold boot / Wont boot. Have to re-flash BIOS. (individuals have referred to this as “mushy brick”)
*AGESA 1006 –  enhance reminiscence (Got excessive hopes for this one. Going to allow 20+ reminiscence register)
(Edit) P-State overclocking / downclocking whereas overclocked.

* Should be included in subsequent spherical of BETA BIOS – however no guarantees, simply the newest I heard from our BIOS guys.

The newest microcode replace from April was the AGESA 1.zero.zero.4a launch, so if the put up is correct then this replace is what the engineers are engaged on for the discharge after subsequent (which I might anticipate to be 1.zero.zero.5). Quite when the subsequent spherical of beta BIOS releases goes to be although continues to be up for debate, so we could also be ready some time for 1.zero.zero.6 to floor.
