Yes, I have it working.



Odd. Have you tried manually installing it from the AMD provided .zip file?

Yes, but because i've installed it once it won't let me try to install it again. Might have to find a way to go through registry or something to remove power plans and try again.
 
just curious, but are you able to OC on Auto VCore? my Vcore and CID gets stuck at 1.23v when i manually change the freq with ryzen 5. I am on mortar but i have this on both 1.2 and 1.3 BIOS. did not try older revisions.
Yes, something weird going on with MSI's mortar. Now running with 1.1 bios which allows 3000MHz memory (1.2 and 1.3 worked with 3200MHz 🙁 ) but at least I can OC the processor fine. Still if I try to do all OC on bios, memory speed will usually be defaulted after reboot to 2133MHz...but CPU OC clock stays. Now I have set memory OC to 3000MHz on bios and CPU is just around 3,2GHz or 3GHz, then I set CPU OC on Windows/RyzenMaster to 3,7GHz which doesn't require reboot and now it works with 3,7GHz/3000MHz...

Have ticket open with MSI, hope they find something out. Tried to build a little bit different looking rig this time and MSI had the only white mobo + they had good memory support, but feeling little bit disappointed now.

I'm struggling with their Tomahawk board myself. Warm boots simply don't boot. If I restart the board shows a debug on the boot and the screen says the drive is not found. Cold boots aren't a problem.
 
I'm going to be swapping air coolers this weekend and I realised I didn't have any "new" thermal paste on hand. What I do have is probably around 5 to 10 years old. Which would you choose?

Ceramique - opened
Artic Silver 5 - opened
Zalman - unknown version
Mystery packet probably from Swiftech, Asetek, or maybe it's just Kraft mayo.

Go buy something new and decent.. Unless the arctic silver is opened but sealed?
 
Warm boots simply don't boot

Funny, on my Asus B350 Prime even running my ram near 3k @14-15-14 timings it will reboots warm mode fine but when its a cold boot it says oc failed and I have to go into the bios, buy simply hit save and its fine at the same memory speed and timings.

Just some real weirdo bios thingy's going on I guess.
 
Got my Ryzen 5 1600 today - a day earlier than anticipated. Unfortunately wasn't able to abuse test the chip today, but I'll get a chance soon enough...

after a brief back and fourth with ASRock support, I was able to use my board with the FlareX memory XMP profile running full speed 3200,

worked for a few days no problem but then just decided that it didn't want to POST beyond 2667 again. wth.

they suggested clearing CMOS, loading the mem profile, and then leaving mostly everything alone except for the LLC levels. it worked the very first time I tried it up until earlier today when the system would just restart itself after powering on. really thought that I had it working for good, but it looks like I'm still stuck until they sort out the BIOS code. the strange part is the computer was completely stable even under heavy load when the memory worked full speed, so it's anyone's guess I suppose.
 
Is the current bios still booting at 1.2V? If so its impossible to get good working and boot conditions. Is this part if the may agesa fix?
