I just bought the Asrock X570M Pro4 and I do hear the chipset fan during boot, it's actually very loud. However, that's the only time I hear it - I don't hear it during gaming, when I'm using Handbrake, or any other kind of intensive workload.
This really seems like a crapshoot. I'm having no trouble hitting advertised boost with AGESA 1.0.0.2 (Asus BIOS 5008) on my R5 3600 and Asus Prime X370-PRO (NH-D15, Phanteks Enthoo Pro M TG). So I'm not sure if there's any compelling reason for me to perform this update.
Well I figured it might be an issue only on specific BIOSes. As I said I'm having no problems whatsoever on my board either.
I'd be interested in making a list of which boards and BIOSes people are using when they're running into this problem, and see if there's any trends that appear.
This might be a really stupid thing to say and I'm definitely not an expert, but could the temperature problems that @VirtualLarry and others are experiencing (since I've seen this reported else where as well) be a problem with Precision Boost being borked?
What I mean is, PB is supposed to...
I'm seeing 1.3-1.35 at idle on my R5 3600, still at the out-of-the-box settings. This is on an Asus Prime X370-Pro with the 5008 BIOS.
However, under gaming load (AC Odyssey) HWMonitor is reporting 1.4-1.45V. Is this bad?
It doesn't seem to be impacting temperatures in a negative way at all -...
@VirtualLarry do you have a different board to try? I kinda wonder if it's a BIOS problem borking Precision Boost.
That's just a guess though and I could be way off.
Anyway, I got my 3600 installed on my Prime X370-Pro and while it had a bit of a fit the first time I tried to boot, setting PBO to "auto" fixed that and I'm able to boot with my memory at the full rated speed and timings @B-Riz. Going to try some stress testing now.
While I generally agree with this sentiment, AMD shouldn't be distributing CPUs with stock coolers that can't keep the CPU cool at stock settings - which makes it seem like this is a bug rather than "just how the CPU runs." It's also not in line with what most professional reviewers saw.
Updated my X370 Prime Pro to Asus BIOS 5008 (from two weeks ago) in preparation for a new CPU, now I'm having some weird issues with memory.
I saw a small decrease in performance in Cinebench R20 on my R7 1700 @ 3.8Ghz vs. the previous BIOS I had (which was from 2017) but I'm not worried about...
