AMD is giving final touches to the latest update of AGESA micro-code of its Ryzen processors, which will improve DDR4 memory support, enabling higher memory clocks and tighter timings. The new AGESA 1.0.0.6 micro-code will be deployed through motherboard vendors as motherboard BIOS updates. It will add over 20 new registers for the "Summit Ridge" integrated memory controllers, to improve compatibility with "Intel-friendly" DDR4 memory brands.

Until now, AMD recommended PC builders to opt for only certain brands of DDR4 memory for best performance. These included memory modules with Samsung "B die" DRAM chips, such as the G.Skill Flare X series. The new AGESA update will let AMD Ryzen processor users to manually dial up DRAM clocks and tighten timings of a broader range of DDR4 memory kits, more reliably, and hopefully iron out a lot of stability issues associated with memory overclocking.

I really hope these higher RAM speeds can be achieved without changing the refclk from 100MHz.

Otherwise M.2 devices are likely to become useless. Fingers Xed.

Also, the next version number should be 1.0.0.5() which other sites are reporting.

I'm curious as to where the 6 came from. Could be a typo from AMD (they forgot to change the version string on 4) or maybe they did some other things that went into 5 which was not released; which would seem odd given we are all desperate to get improvements ASAP. :)

Was merely gettin' excited a bit from the fact; still miss the necessary component (1800X) for rig to be up & running. :) Got a month till i'll have one. Thanx. :toast:
