Yeah sometimes a new BIOS is not better.

A new BIOS came out for my motherboard with the latest AGESA 1006 and it's definitely better. I enabled DOCP and it's booting reliably. I'm still having the GPU fan spinning fast for a few seconds at POST but I'm becoming resigned to putting up with that until the next CPU and motherboard...

Thanks for the advice. I got these for £33.50 total: Stellaris Leviathans Story Pack Utopia Synthetic Dawn Story Pack Apocalypse Distant Stars Story Pack Lithoids Species Pack Ancient Relics Story Pack I'm into the end game (I think) of my first game of Stellaris and I seem to be winning but...

Well the steam sale is here and Stellaris got it's discount. I'm looking at the bundles as I'm playing stellaris on an Xbox game pass I got with my new CPU and that will run out and I want the full game. There are a few different bundles: Summer Sale Starter Pack: Stellaris, Leviathans Story...

I had a look and there's a lot of DLC for Stellaris! I may go for the starter pack or similar bundle.

So I finished Plague Tale: Innocence and it's a good game and I can see why it's well thought of and some of the gameplay is done in a fresh new way but I just didn't enjoy seeing Amicia die so many times to get through the whole game. I gave Totally Accurate Battle Simulation a go and I...

Maybe it's because your CPU and motherboard are better than mine. In another forum it's been suggested that flashing to an older BIOS with AGESA 1.0.0.3 ab might fix this issue. I think I'd prefer to wait for a new BIOS to come out than use an old one. I shouldn't have to do all this and it...

I'll have a look at zentimings in the morning, thanks. I'm going to clear CMOS as well before trying anything else.

So I ordered some 3600 CL14 Samsung b-die RAM and it's arrived and installed. I got this one: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team-group-8pack-ripped-edition-16gb-2x8gb-ddr4-pc4-28800c14-3600mhz-dual-channel-kit-black-my-001-8p.html This is what Thaiphoon shows: I enabled DOCP and this is...

This standard behaviour for Ryzen 3000 feels like a downgrade from my 10 year old PC. I had high hopes for for fast booting with UEFI.

You don't even hear youtubers that favour intel mentioning this issue with AMD platforms. It seems strange. I haven't seen a video explaining this issue and promoting a b-die kit that resolves it. You would think that was a good video to get sponsored by a memory kit maker! Could be a problem...

I can understand a less premium kit not overclocking so high but for it to cause my PC to never boot as it should? It actually overclocks well, I got it to 3600 and apparently it will do 3800 and yet it seems impossible to get it to boot quickly from cold: I'm disappointed that reviewers and...

Have you run a memory test to see if it's your RAM causing the issue? If it is then maybe you need to look at your BIOS settings. If not it could be a motherboard fault or a driver issue. It also sounds like you OS install is corrupted and will never be right again. At this point I would back...

It's not there on mine: My guess is they removed it as it has potential to make your system fail to boot, leading to too many RMAs of non-faulty boards. That's one of the things that used to happen on mine until I used settings from the 1.7.3 calculator. QVL is not the be-all and end-all of...

So I tried upping procODT to 53.3 and VDDG CCD voltage to 1.06 and that didn't help. The guide and the calc don't have info on these settings in my BIOS: TRCPAGE, TRFC2 and TRFC4 and I'm wondering if those will help. Also I'm wondering if any of these voltages at the bottom of my bios screen...
