ASUS PRIME X370-PRO BIOS update

thanks for looking it up,

but I bought it before i was sure about the the platform choice (x99 was still an option), the price was already climbing end of june last year, got agood price, it was the right financial choice :wink:

Anyway the the 16GB was on a compatibility list from corsair (or in the corsair forum), and the list growth with newer bios

With ryzen being more productivity oriented, the 32GB kit will not go out of fashion, so full support might still come.

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I should be getting my 2700 today and I will run some tests on that board.

I have gone for it. No idea what it does for my measly 1600, though. :stuck_out_tongue:

Says AGESA update. My guess is for the 2000 series, I’m running 1600 and haven’t updated because everything is perfect but I probably will. Chipset has an update, I updated that but from AMD not ASUS.

3805 can boot Ryzen 2000 series chips, haven’t tested further than that yet.

You are talking windows there, right?


I said it over on the Ryzen whatever thread but it might be more relevant here:

Ok I’ve updated to 4008, no worries on my end. DRAM still runs at rated 3000 MHz and lowered XMP/DOCP profile voltage from 1.4 to stock 1.2.

Tried to push above to 3200 MHz at same timings etc. no boot, so be it.

Forgot to reply myself. I also updated to 4008. 32GB Hynix still running at 3000. I did manage to boot at 3200 using Ryzen DRAM Calculator timings but it froze twice in a row almost immediately. Didn’t feel like pushing voltage so leaving it at 3000 with tighter timings works for me just fine.

Running now stable 4008 with RAM at 2933MHz

Really tought I could get 3000MHz stable, but not just not quite.

The experience was different though

  1. I did not lost the FAN settings after the upgrade (Ok I did not forced default settings neither)
    => edited fan where reset but PWM was not enabled on non PWM capable
  2. before I reset manually the settings I noticed thath contrary to previous BIOS, some auto settings where tighter than the Overclocking SPD value, that is remarquable !

3)I also tried the automatic settings for 3000Mhz, no success, while the 2933MHz automatic where quite looser

globally not a bad experience, as my memory still is not in the QVL …
I saw that Gigabyte X470 motherboard does supports it, though not the New ASUS :confused:

More remarquable news with new BIOS

I do not now if the power saving improved greatly, or if the temperature sensors are now wrong under linux but the CPU temp. plunges in intactivity period

see a graph showing light activity (one browser tab open, then closed)

the ambiant temp. is about 20°C

Activity (6 VM opened and checking for update) temp. look normal

let me know if you also see this, maybe we will save some power :thermometer:

@noenken

Are you running a 2700X on this board? Thinking about upgrading and getting rid of a superfluous watercooler with the 1700X at the same time (too much junk hanging around).

hello Steinwerks

Noenken is, I beleive, running a 2700 on this board,

For my part I still am with my 1700x oveclocked to 3,95GHz at 1.35V with NOCTUA NH-12S

I’m actually running the 2700 in my ITX system but I still have work to do on that one. I am running a 1700 @3.8 GHz with a fury but that rig is not at home and will stay like that. The second one is curruntly running a 1600X, I might replace that base system completely. And then there is the Taichi Ultimate that I am waiting for…

Yeah, fist world problems…

Damn, was hoping to hear how the new CPU’s were doing in the older board. Oh well.

JFYI - @Azulath is running a 2700x in an ASRock x370 Taichi, as noted here: Ryzen Pre-Week 25 fabrication RMA issue

Yeah that’s true. Thus far, it works without any problems :slight_smile:
XFR seems to work as well, it clocks itself up to 4.3 (almost 4.4) GHz.

That’s great news! Wasn’t sure how effective it would be on X370, but not having to replace the motherboard would be nice if I decide to upgrade.

I think it comes down to whether the mainboard’s VRM are able to deliver enough power or not. (And the BIOS ofc :wink: ). As far as I can remember, the Taichi had the best VRMs when compared to the other X370 boards, with Asus boards following. Which is why you should be fine with the Prime. That being said, I haven’t tortured tested it or anything, it just noticed the clock speed going up the same amount as on X470 boards according to reviews.

The next thing I’ll do with the 2700X is undervolting it - once I have results I’ll create a corresponding thread on this forum.

Yet another new BIOS! 4011 this time.

Again, notes are trash, same as before but SMU 43.18? Not sure what that is…

@dominiquew What did you use to obtain those temperature graphs?
