@barisuraz if the board is rebooting 3 times you have a DRAM problem. The board after first setting up the memory, along with any XMP profile etc, will POST, cycle where the DRAM is training, then boot as normal. It’ll only do this when changing DRAM frequency it should not do it every time.
I agree about editing all the UI, for each image you had to do the actual image edits, then add/correct a header each time too, on hundreds of images. I looked at that, and wow, I knew it would be a major painstaking process!
I hear you on the options too, some options no one will use, but some people peek in there and then see settings they can’t see in BIOS, so want it “all unlocked” so I tend to start there sometimes to avoid those that see missing options
@ket @Lost_N_BIOS is there any way to unlock memory speeds not available in the BIOS like 3000/3066/3133 Mhz? 2933-3200 is a quite big gap.
There is more options in the CBS, but adding more options not present in setup module already, I’ve hit a wall on that this month already trying to add another larger entry for someone on DVMT (iGFX) memory size options too.
Maybe ket knows, and I should have asked him already and forget to ask him to help me on my similar situation?
Adding memory dividers is complicated its more than just adding a selectable option I don’t think adding something like that will be possible. I will look at this though as there are a lot more memory divider options in the hidden memory configuration of the CBS module. Only reason I can think of why Biostar haven’t added the extra dividers is simply through being lazy.
There was a memclk option in MSI CBS which has 1500,1533,1566mhz options. It’s worth trying to enable it IMO. Not sure if it’ll work or not tho. @ket
The option itself also needs to be in the custom Biostar module unless all AMD memory options are unlocked and you try your luck with overclocking through CBS options instead. Theres so much that needs addressing in the Biostar firmware I’m none too keen to go potentially opening up more cans of worms.
I guess we can’t do anything else until Biostar releases a new BIOS. I contacted support for a beta BIOS so if I get a new file I’ll share it with you guys.
@ket The first bios with AGESA pinnacle 1.0.0.6 has been released for the C7H 2 hours ago. Will let you guys know if there’s anything notable. https://www.overclock.net/forum/11-amd-m…ml#post27664556 Here’s the link if you want to check it out.
@barisuraz this is Biostar, it’ll take them months to release a firmware with AGESA 1006, that is if they bother at all. Theres only so much myself and my contact can do to get them to do what they should already be doing; which is to say actually supporting the products they are releasing. I’ll prod them where I can but lets put it this way; I won’t be using the GT7 much longer.
Yeah me neither, probably going to buy a C6H.
@barisuraz @ket Give me/point me to this Agesa update from another BIOS source, or on it’s own not in a BIOS, I think I can put that in for you guys (I think )
According to some rumblings I’ve read on various sites this board has 1-2 fewer layers compared to others. That seems to be the main cause of terrible memory overclocks.
Out of the X370 boards; Asus Strixx, Asrock Fatal1ty Gaming X. From X470; MSI Gaming Pro Carbon, Asus Prime Pro. These are the best all-round boards with worthy mentions going to the X470 Fatal1ty K4 and the MSI X470 Gaming Pro. Theres more expensive boards you could buy but it is substantially diminishing returns with boards more expensive than these.
I wouldn’t say thats the case with Gear Down enabled the kit I use for testing OCs as well as it does on any other board automatic weird timings not withstanding. If Biostar fix the broken Gear Down so it works with frequencies above 2400MHz it would be one of the better boards to OC memory on but Biostar seriously need to fix memory compatibility it is completely shit.
Send him your fraken-fix method, for the memory, he wont get confused like we discussed public might
Expose AMD Command Rate and 2T options, you can then fiddle with and hoodwink 2T with GD disabled to work, at least in my testing. The memory settings between the AMD CBS module and custom Biostar setup don’t seem to be in sync properly which appears to be where the problems are coming from.
@barisuraz can you give me a link or something to this 10006 AGESA update you are talking about? Its might be new, or you might be getting confused with an old 1006 update that was released last year. Once I’ve checked this out I can try to do some prodding.
