Great, cybrnook! Thanks for posting really good news. I apologize for my redundant posts. Enjoy, John.Absolutely!
For fan speed, when game boost is enabled or overclock memory above 2900Mhz, BIOS will automatically change CPU/PUMP fan to non-smart fan mode. If you want to use smart fan mode while overclocking, then please change OC settings in BIOS, change fan mode in BIOS, save and exit and do not go back to BIOS.
I believe this is extremely strange decision...both because this is professional and high-end board, so every user will know how to set it to its best settings. Right now simply booting in bios completely overrides my own settings by turning Fan control off and putting some arbitrary behavior (quite often...jet engine of full RPM on fans).Agreed %100
I've sent support ticket for this, but wanted to bump this thread so it gets more recognition. I consider this to be very serious issue.
| For fan speed, there are two options in BIOS that will change your CPU/PUMP fan speed to non-smart mode. 1. GameBoost 2. When memory frequency is over 2900MHz The reason of that is we want to keep CPU temperature low while overclocking, otherwise the system would become unstable. If user wants to set custom fan curve while overclocking, please adjust the fan curve in BIOS, save & exit and do not go back to BIOS. Boot straight to OS so BIOS will not check GameBoost or memory frequency to force CPU/PUMP fan back to non-smart fan mode. |
Outside of my gripe with the blanket call for CPU and PUMP to shoot up when actually "using" the board, I don't really have any complaints on 125.
Did you run into anything new while on 125?
As far as publicly released beta bios's go, I believe the linked 125 in this thread is the latest.I asked svet last Friday if there were newer beta bios files available and he mentioned that 1.25 is the latest he sees. There were some changes related to how memory is handled in 1.25 vs 1.24 as with the latest I can't post with all my memory (8x8GB). I noticed also that in 1.24 there physical location of RAIDXpert is slightly lower in the list than it is in all other bios builds. Also since 1.20 precision boost overdrive setting is present in the settings as it seems to have been missing prior (in 1.1). Those are some of the changes that I have seen as I tested each version.
No official changelog outside of this release hopefully addressing wake from sleep issues. I will say though that my 4 x 8 GB 3200 has been running fine with my 2950x. However wake from sleep issue is back with Windows 1809.
With 1.25 bios system is pretty stable and starts fine, but it goes to the loop reboot if i put all 8 memory slot, with 7 just fine.Same here :)
p.s. sry for my bad english
Guys I need a favour I'm coming from a gigabyte extreme with 2950x but I'm having issues with all my high end USB connected devices like a motion simulator racing chair and fanatec wheels etc (15 usb dev'S) bandwidth so if somebody could kindly use USB Device Tree Viewer 3.2.2 (http://hthttps//www.majorgeeks.com/mg/getmirror/usb_device_tree_viewer,1.htmlp://) Utility and take a snipping tool image as I need to see how the USB host controllers add up on this board before I move to it please?Hope this helps buddy:
With the gigabyte even the addon pci-e usb 2.0 & 3.0 cards get overload by any usb inserted perif's, could this be a AMD chipset usb issue as I've not got an Intel board available at the moment to test the cards in?

Just like to ask a few questions before I purchased this, #1 can you confirm that this board has no issues with Intel teaming on the NICs? #2 what is the situation with boot times on the later stable 1.25 or 1.27 latest BIOS? #3 anybody in the UK bought from newegg UK with shipping coming from the USA and they're only been a 15 day returns replacement policy?I haven't checked teaming but 1.27 is a whole lot more stable than 1.25. Looks like it has a newer Agesa.

Something like a "Before I buy" type thread. I don't use teaming and the boot times have been, what I would call, fine for me on either bios with 4 x 8 GB and a 2950x.

cybrnook, AMD has release RAID drivers DriverVer=09/21/2018,9.2.0.00087. I still have testing to do but so far they have corrected Restart, Sleep and Wake. Be sure you install it on all RAIDs you may have. I ended up with it installed on about half my SSDs and it was a little sweaty for a while. Please let me know it they help. Enjoy, John.It looks like some of the driver is also baked in the BIOS itself as well. When you go to the RAIDXpert menu you can see that in there. I am waiting for MSI to release a new BIOS with the updated driver.
bogdi1988, in general drivers do not come in UEFI releases. There is a new RAIDXpert2 (w10) released with AMD RAIDXpert2 Driver Version: 9.2.0-00087. It can be DLed with the latest chip set drivers. I suggest you update the chip set and you should get what you need. All is going well here. Enjoy, John.Take a look in your BIOS and you'll see a reference to the version of the RAIDXpert firmware and that is the older build.
OK, absolutely the UEFI must contain drivers. I know that and do not think I said they didn't, certainly did not mean to say that. I have never seen a case where a user had to correlate updating the driver in the UEFI with the one in Windows. The MB vendors I have had release UEFI updates so seldom, and this is the first I have heard a user say they were going to wait. It may be a very long wait. The 9.2.0.00087 in W10 is like a miracle to me. All my Shutdowns, Restarts, Sleeps and Boot to UEFI required a manual Reset. With the 9.2.0.00087 update, NO MORE! I must be taking a chance, but so far, so good. Enjoy, John.I for one still have issues with shotdown, restart etc with the new driver...
bogdi1988, I am completely failure free but I almost ended up with only some of my drivers updated. How did you update yours? Here's my device manager:Right click on each inf file and install. All devices have the latest version of the driver. I checked 3x :D
(http://<a href=)(https://i.postimg.cc/52PrVwxk/RAID-Drivers.jpg)" />
Please double click all the marked devices and check the driver. If it is not 9.2.0.00087, then update it. Please let me know what you find. Good luck and enjoy, John.
bogdi1988, I am in the middle of a W10 install and stuck. I think you are correct and I am having a conflict between the old drivers (070) in the UEFI and the new drivers (087) I am using in Load Driver. Should I go back to 070 completely until this is resolved? Is my pessimism justified - long wait? I will e-mail AMD and MSI support. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and enjoy, John.i was using 1809 and now running 19H1 early builds.
Thanks, bogdi1988. I know a couple of good people at AMD and am still hopeful. Thanks an enjoy, John.BTW, I see you are using your MSI Xpander card... I highly recommend getting the ASUS one instead. It's technically the same thing, but it is in a 1x PCIe wide slot instead of 2 and it is not as wide of a card so it does not stick out as much, especially if you want to do a vertical GPU, or if you have a crazy case setup like I have (Corsair 1000D with 2 systems inside)
Thanks, bogdi1988, but I am quiet happy with the Xpander and do not care about the width. Thanks and enjoy, John.Just to double check, you have Xpander in PCIe1 and GPU in PCIe4?
Hi folks, I'm building a new 2950x system with an X399 Creation and currently have the 127 beta bios. Does anyone have a link to the 129 beta version?https://we.tl/t-t3anYRf71G
bogdi1988, mine is just the opposite. Is that causing me problems? Seems to have been fine so far. Where is this written? I was concerned about not seeing any real instructions. Thanks and enjoy, John.It was in the manual that specified GPU needs to go in PCIe4 if 2990WX. Page 36 talks about PCIe arrangement for multiple and single video cards.

optical10, I have not and will continue to use 1803 (patch 376) until MS releases 1809 and it has been updated a few times. MS Media Creation Tool is DLing the 376 patch level of 1803 and it is stable. Version 1809 is at patch level 55 and has not been updated in over a month. I suggest users stay far away from it. I tried it when it was first released and it had plenty of problems. I suspect it has not been re-released because of many more problems. What drivers are you looking for from MSI? You should get all your AMD drivers from AMD DL site (https://www.amd.com/en/support) and other vendor drivers from them. AMD released a new RAID driver (9.2.0.087) and I think MSI needs to release a new UEFI with commensurate support. I am unable to do an install on RAID of W10 using the new AMD RAID drivers. Enjoy, John.
jhchris2, Okay good to know. I previously had a gigabyte motherboard with similar issues with 1809. It's mainly the AMD chipset and the Realtek audio drivers I want to get sorted. Also with me having an RTX 2080 I'm just getting ready for the ray tracing direct X functionality with in 1809 that I need certain titles so I wanted to see if MSI had a heads up on future release dates for 1809 Sam ahead of the curve. It's a shame that live update isn't up to scratch as it would make it a lot easier. (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=307570.msg1787239#msg1787239)
bogdi1988, it really contains AGESA!V9.SummitPI-SP3r2-1.1.0.2. The .txt file is all wrong. The UEFI is E7B92AMS.120. It was posted as a Beta recently. Thanks and enjoy, John.
jhchris2 (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?action=profile;u=682027) Is bios version 1.20 the same as beta 1.29 or have 1.20 been upgraded over beta 1.29?
Can somebody check to see if wake-up LAN (WOL) is present in biases all newer than v110, I'm using the original BIOS due to memory compatibility issues, I could have swore I saw when I previously updated the BIOS but obviously I'm not upgrading now I've got things stable?In the Wake up section there are 3 options:
For whoever is curious, I tried out the modded 1.31 bios. It opens up the AMD PBS and AMD CBS menus and it is fully unlocked. If anyone wants the file I will gladly share it.I already have it posted in the beta bios section, but here it is again:
Thanks, cybroonk. where is the Beta BIOS section - link? Is it MSI's, yours, or what? Is there any information on these files, like who created them, etc? Is 1.31 an MSI Beta BIOS or what? Thanks much and enjoy, John.You can download the file from the link he shared in the post above.
