To be honest, for me, all this is just for fun of tweaking something. I am playing at 4K with 5090, 120fps locked with Xbox Elite Controller. Process lasso, Xbox app, core parking or without, I do not see difference ;) I am using my comps for work 90%.
Honestly, the difference is negligible in most games. Really, it's strategy games or city simulators that seem to affect the most.
 
Unfortunately manually overriding amds options are the best way to squeeze some extra performance out of games since not every game will be faster due to X3D tech. Others still have better luck with higher clock speeds which the CCD1 will provide over CCD0. It really depends on how memory is handled in some game engines compared to others too. Latency and huge cache isn't the only factor for performance. It's more of a general marketing trick. It helps performance in some scenarios but not all. The X3D dies can't always achieve the same frequency that non X3D dies can due to cache sensitivity.
VDDP .950 1.3 SOC
 
This is my current memory timings across 4 DIMM's. I think that's a plus for this motherboard, really, since it seems to handle memory quite well. Yes, that's also due to me having a pretty strong IMC on my CPU, but still, I think it's pretty good on the motherboard's end. The only thing I don't like about testing is that if the board fails posting, there is no auto revert to stock while keeping the settings available to the user. So you have to keep saving profiles and clearing CMOS. It's a bit of a pain in that regard.

VSOC 1.26-1.27 seems to be the sweet spot, at least for me. I think a lot of XMP settings put it at 1.3 though.
You're pushing your voltage a bit on those sticks (specced at 1.35v), are you seeing any temperature issues? Are you using any active RAM cooling?
ZenTimings always shows my CPU VDDIO at .8000v, but I see yours at .8500v. Did you set that manually? I assumed that it just wasn't reading the timing properly in the software...
Edit: Realized I typoed my VSOC.

can you post your aida64 mem bench scores?

No active cooling on the DIMM's apart from general case airflow. The temps, I believe, are not too bad. I forgot to turn them down to 1.43v, and yes, they are speced at 1.35, but they had issues running at that with the expo profile. As for the VDDIO, it has to be read wrong. I believe VDDIO is higher than that. On the VDDG, my IO voltages are at 1.020v and 1.060v, respectively.

Edit:
In regards to temperature, the GSKILL RAM I have found doesn't really have much issue keeping cool at highish temps. I could go down to 1.42v with my current settings, but that's not enough for these pushed timings. I'm getting no errors with my current setup, but I will have to double-check temps. I wouldn't consider, from what I've read online, that 1.45 is high compared to others I've seen by buildzoid and other RAM overclockers. They did not mention having specified cooling on the DIMM's apart from when it was running at 1.5V+
 
There seems to be a common misunderstanding about voltages, how they work, and their impact on a system. Keep in mind that some voltages should not be tampered with, as they are directly related to current, temperature, and how the chipset manages adjustments during workloads or idle states.

Agreed. Base reference voltages should not be messed with. My RAM, after reducing the voltage down to 1.37v, is pretty cool. I've seen the hottest DIMM reach 66.4 degrees, but that's on a constant AIDA stability test.
 
Same here.
Right at the SECOND MSI Logo where the OS is should load. And only on cold boot, restarts are fine.

But at least 7E49v1A3 works perfect for me.
New official BIOS, same cold boot bug as the one before. Aaaand back to 7E49v1A3.

I’m starting to think it’s because of the Agesa Version
 
can you post your aida64 mem bench scores?
Sure! Sorry for taking so long. I was sorting some stuff out. Also, my FSB is at 99.2 MHz for some reason. It changes every boot between 99 MHz and 101.4 MHz. Latency changes between 67.2 ns to 70.8 ns randomly. Thats super dependent on what ever is going on in the background.

Mine was doing same in a few BIOS versions with spread spectrum set to "auto". Change it to enabled and it fixed my cold boot issues.
Thank you for your reply. I tried this, but unfortunately, no luck. It is still stuck at the logo with error code 4d.
 
Hi there!
Any news on fixing the PCIE related bug?
Is it supposed to be fixed by the 7E49v1A4 official BIOS (the description on the download page is kinda vague)?
Thanks!

no issues with PCIe lines here but to be fair I never ever experienced any issues from day one I put this build together:
MPG X870e Carbon WIF+9800X3D+msi 5090 Liquid SOC (before msi4090 Liquid X) +48GB Corsair TITANIUM 7200@6400 + 2 GEN4 SSD +1 GEN5 SSD
