Bug Type: BIOS

Applicable Software/Bios Version: BIOS 0901

Windows Version & Build: N/A

Bug Description: Thanks @elmor for the bios I think it is more ram friendly, considering i am using hynixM

However fan controls is still funky. 3 hours into AIDA64, the chassis fans 1 and 2 spins DOWN to minimum
When i found out, i stop aida stress test, the fans doesnt return to normal state
just stayed that way

so i ran aida stress again. now cpu fan went down, temp went up.. and windows crashed

PS: on 901

To add: CPU temp stops updating itself after some load test
tdie is up to 64+C but cpu temp stays at 43C
back to bugs

@elmor

current corrupted uefi 902 with missing led firmware

Un-reproducible BUGS

(Click To Reveal)

Bug Type: BIOS

Applicable Software/Bios Version: 0804 (Beta)

Windows Version & Build N/A

Bug Description: Another issue I've run into involves the CMOS reset button. That works, but the OC profiles remain and become unusable. For instance, reset CMOS then attempt to load the profile saved previously and the UEFI hard locks. I have to power off and on again and save over the top of the profile to use it again.

Steps to re-produce: Have an OC Profile, Reset CMOS and try and reload said OC Profile.

Comment by elmor: Not seeing that here, might be board/CPU specific. CMOS memory is located on the CPU
Bug Type: *Software or BIOS*

Applicable Software/Bios Version: BIOS 0901

Windows Version & Build N/A

Bug Description: Still can't switch PCIEX8/X4_4 to X8 mode in 0901.

CPU: 1950X
GFX: 2 x RX Vega 64 in PCIEX16_1 and PCIEX16_3
Memory: G.Skill 32GB (F4-3200C16Q-32GTZR)
Storage: 3xSamsung 960 PRO (1 x Under ROG cover, 2 x in DIMM.2 adapter)

It does the same thing it did on 801 and prior BIOSes. It resets the board/CPU a few times and reverts it back to X4

Steps to re-produce: Try to enable PCI-E 8X, It will reboot the system and revert to 4x speeds.
@elmor

901 Issues *updated form 801 - re-flashed 4 times - cleared cmos each time

1) still no lights *present since updating to 804 then reverting back
2) fan issues still present (min fan power percentage is all over the place regardless of settings) *present since start
3) usb storage plugged into back usb ports no longer read after update *first noticed in 804 but now it seems to only apply to usb ports on the back
*If i plug them into the usb using the headers on the motherboard they are found
*windows has no issues seeing/reading storage drives

NEW to 901
4) Temperature reading is inaccurate
@4.1 I usually hit 70c v1.41 - 801 previous
with 901
The board never reports higher then 42c
(@.4.1 during testing at v1.45)

*water temp for both test would raise from 25c to about 30-35c
*external reading for 901 showed 70c ish temps (not accurately tested but far from 42c)

Image of bios settings and fan curves gonewild
*what I am trying to show is the min power% all fans are the same fan1 has a fan extender with 5 fans *I have removed the extender with the same results)

settings for 801 Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

@Raja@ASUS

Hello all,

So I wanted to document an ever growing issue with Asus and the X399 Flagship motherboard, the Zenith Extreme. First however, here is a small story that many here will likely relate to.

When I heard of the Threadripper platform, I was super excited to a see a well priced consumer CPU (compared to other products) that featured a large core and thread count. Needless to say I started my product research journey to choose a suitable motherboard to pair up with the Threadripper CPU. There were a few to choose from, all with a fairly good feature set, however I had owned Asus ROG boards in the passed and had been impressed with the support given. With that in mind I went searching for the Asus champion motherboard. ALAS ! I found the Zenith Extreme. Looking at it's feature set it was a no brainer....but it was an EXPENSIVE product to say the least at approx £500, but if I am spending approx £1000 on a CPU then why would I skimp on the motherboard right ?

I get the motherboard home, I build the PC. Loving the build quality and feature set of the Zenith Extreme ! Super excited to get everything running especially with our ASUS Rog Zenith Extreme Zenith Overclocking/Support Thread.

Unfortunately a few weeks later, the excitment started to falter and my disappointment and buyers remorse grew like many others here on OCN and likely around the world. So with out further delay lets point out some of the issues we as Zenith Extreme owners are facing that Asus REALLY need to fix.

The Support Page

As per the support page here:https://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards/ROG-ZENITH-EXTREME/HelpDesk_Download/

Where is half of the software ? When you buy any product, let alone a very expensive flagship product such as the Zenith Extreme, you would expect all the latest up to date software,Firmware and BIOS''s to be present right ? WRONG.

What baffles me is that the Zenith Extreme is a feature packed motherboard, yet some of the software, or at least the latest software versions to take advantage of these features are not present. Even more so, the latest BIOS releases are not event present.

This is fairly shocking. What is more baffling is that the latest BIOS releases as well as the patched AI Suite, Aura and Livedash software have made there way to disorganized threads on the ASUS ROG Forums. So why have they not found there way to the centralized support page that EVERYONE will visit. Nobody wants to sift through a forum to find the latest software for a product they have purchased. That is simply poor customer relations and support, no excuse for it.

Asus, Why ?

The BIOS

Where is the BIOS that will hopefully remedy some of the memory issues we have been facing ? The new TR AGESA 1.0.0.4 Code from AMD has been out for a while now and other motherboard manufacturers have already released their BIOS's with the lates AGESA code, and they are final as well, not even BETA.

So I have to ask, why is it taking so long for Asus to release the new BIOS with the latest AGESA Code that would fix or at least help your consumers with their Memory and other BIOS woes that seem to plague this platform ?

We have been given test BIOS file here on the forums and luckily a modified BIOS by Stilt that have helped. The issue is, why are we using these test BIOS files and custom modified BIOS's when we could have a new BIOS on new and very important AGESA Code ?

Asus Why ?

The AI Suite & Utilities

The AI Suite is the hub when it comes to taking advantage of your motherboards capbilities within Windows. So we consider it fairly important right ? Unfortunately we still do not seem to see much forward facing progress on this piece of software and its tendencies for bugs. I cannot recall all the bugs I have seen others mention, however one obvious bug is the FAN CONTROL. On many frequent occasions trying to set a fan speed via AI Suite will be ignored, leading you to restart your PC and trying again further to this even if you have performed the fan calibration...the software seems to forget and at times asks you to re-perform calibration...even though NOTHING has changed in the system at all.

Why has seemingly little to nil progress been made on this software, as I say it is the HUB of the Asus utilities.

Asus Why ?

Further to this I see complaints about the Aura software frequently with its inability compatibilty wise with LED Strips etc, while I do not use this software it comes up often with complaints from users. Yet we still do not see too many updates. I know there have been updates but again the complaints are the same.

Again, as mentioned above....these utilities are hard to find, having to sift through the ROG forum rather than going to the main support page is just ridiculous.

Asus, you have responsibilities !

Like with any product purchase, you expect that the support given for the product will be easy to find and up to date. Even though it should be the case across the board from entry level to flagship level, Consumers have a higher expectation of support for flagship products. That is a no brainer when you are putting down hundred of pounds/dollars on a product, I mean why wouldn't you expect the best of support !

What I dont understand is that from my experience with ASUS ROG Products is that the support has been well maintained, updates were frequent, this lead to a happy customer. However admittedly these were Intel platforms in the past. Now I have moved to a Flagship AMD platform product, my experience is totally opposite and hugely disappointing.

In reality there should be the same level of excellent support across any product, whether it be Intel or AMD based. However this is not the case here.

Asus is there a reason for this disparity ?

Conclusion.

I would like to think that Asus will step up and get to working on the issues stated in this thread and the various threads across the internet. Admittedly the experience with this Asus ROG product has REALLY put me off Asus motherboards which is a huge shame. The features are there, the build quality is there....but the support isnt.

We all know a product is only as good as its support !

I am hoping we can make some progress, not just so I can be happier with my purchase but so so many others with this motherboard can be.

Greetings,
i found my way here to this forum because of issues with the ROG Zenith Extreme.
The Asus product support for the Zenith Extreme is disappointing to say the least.
I bought this new platform right when it came out and things started out terrible.
The Ram i bought didnt work with the Zenith Extreme, no configuration worked. I couldnt even enter the bios, so i had no choice to return it and get another, different ram kit.
Gaming performance and performance in general was so terrible, even my notebook yielded better FPS despite me using a 1080Ti.
I again found help here by discovering that the Asus Ai Suite was the software responsible for this dreadful performance but not before i reinstalled windows 3 times.
Why did Asus release this faulty software in the first place? Dont they have a test lab?
To this date i am unable to use my Ram at its default speed of DDR4 3600 because of Bios issues.
The latest Bios on the support page is from mid August. Whats the deal with that? Other vendors already released final versions with the latest AGESA code.
Why cant Asus do the same. I paid more than 500€ for this board and i really expected better support. Back in the 90s Bios support was faster than this.
I bought a lot of Asus products including my monitors and the graphics card but this terrible support makes me think that it might me time to switch vendors completely.

None of AMD Motherboards are working as they have to even after 6 months ryzen motherboards does not have stable enough bios , there are bugs in every single one of them i think asus does not have enough people working for them right now and they put their hands in everything now they can't finish anything

Very well said @ENTERPRISE. A much needed thread to address our frustration with the current status of the Board.

I don't think i have much to add on as of currently, with the exception of my frustration with the Old AGESA that we are stuck with and the Many important features that are Disabled on the BIOS there.

I can only hope that ASUS will listen and provide better support for this Motherboard, more ASUS people on the Zenith Thread as there seems to have lots of them on Intel's ones would help too.

Thank you for pulled trigger, it needed to be done.

I'll have to add myself to this, really disappointed there's been no movement on the BIOS front for months now. 0801 is old news and leaves many things unfinished. Not to mention that we still can't run AI Suite at all due to it's inherent ability to break everything in Win10 (HPET being the culprit I believe).

I am in full agreement with @ENTERPRISE.

There is no excuses that I would find acceptable in this particular Zenith situation.None.

Asus is a very big company, actually the biggest "in this game" and if they manage to find resources to design and assemble and put out the door this products, they can also find such resources on the software front. They have to, one does not work without the other.

Smaller vendors have managed to have x399 motherboards more stable and with updated AMD code (AGESA).

Asus likes to release motherboards with a myriad of functions only to then never have them working properly. Zenith is a clear case for this.

I understand having a platform like the ROG Zenith with extended options for the overclocker on top of everything else can at times get complicated, specially on a new platform, but this was their option, no one obligates them to release products in such a way. But those options are what they advertise, and are what we paid for. So they better stand by them.

On this product official page we cant find the most updated bios (BETA), only a BIOS from the release month of the Threadripper platform. Just imagine some clients that do not frequent this forum and do not see or want the BETA bios..... and even those are lacking in quantity or quality, it's not like those BETA bios are "the good stuff".

We cant also find the most updated AISuite, Aura and other software that actually exists, just not posted or distributed correctly.

Same for the drivers.

If this is what ASUS has to offer on the ROG platform and what we should expect, them I'm afraid this is going to be my last Asus product, not only my last Asus motherboard, mostly because I find this absolutely disgraceful and in some ways pure false advertisement looking at the product page.

If I treated my clients this way I'd be finished, ASUS is lucky to enjoy a pretty dominant position so they can do this, but that will catch up one day. Be sure.

I am quoting myself. What-the-frak. Well, I finally got around to put all the stuffs inside those brown boxes together, and my conclusion is that it is not as bad as I expected. At first, ZE would not boot with 4 sticks of Ram. I booted with 1 stick and flashed Bios to 902. Now, Asus ZE booted on my XMP (G Skill B-dies 3733Mhz 8GBx4 C17) and even ran, with extreme instability at 3733Mhz with 1.35V. I selected an overclocked memory profile (3466Mhz C14 1.40V) from a long list on the bios menu. I four-passed memtest86. I passed two turns of 64M prime. I am on Linux, so none of those Asus Windows apps are installed. Nvidia graphic card, Usb sound and Solarflare 10G Nic work fine.

I guess I just want to add a bit of cheer on this thread. Hope you guys don't mind.

Hopefully you got a better deal than most who got it on "day one". This board was severely discounted during black Friday on Amazon. Like 350$ if I remember correctly.
Yeah, it was had at a good discount for sure, may be the discount was due to the boards poor support.

+1 for this thread. Unfortunately you hit the right spots with your thread. With me dropping 2k on an entire new system (coming from a 5960X+X99 ASRock board, incredibly reliable and stable), I thought I'd had a good experience with ASUS, since one of the main reasons I bought the ZE was the software support (looking at the mainboards available, basically all of them have an 8+2/8+3 configuration, veeeeeery similar specs wise), but since that is lacking I'm seriously considering to switch to a Taichi or a Pro Gaming by ASRock. It's a real shame that Intel users receive a special treatment.

Dear ASUS

It is very clear by now that, Your Head of ROG motherboards department and Project Engineers for AMD x399 motherboards
have made a bet on releasing a ROG motherboard for Tr4 only to find out in time that You should have release instead a WS x399 motherboard, and thus left a ton of clients who did purchase Your Zenith Motherboard hanging there with no support development because of the cut in resources and funding that should be dedicated to this platform.

While It is understandable that You had to make a hard choice because PCIe gen 4 was still not available, there is no excuse for not debugging this BETA stage Motherboard so for it to have at least all of its basic features to work at AMD Tr4 specifications and capabilities.

I Hope that You do understand that if You do make a X399 motherboard it has to have all the slots IO connections to take full advantage of the whole 64 PCIe lanes offers.....You have fallen into the misconception that TR4 is about cores while it is instead about PCIe Lanes.
TR4 is designed for HPC not for Intel grade like HEDT.

AMD x399 HEDT motherboards should be HPC platform
Future ROG MB should come with as standard 7 16 PCIe lanes just as WS motherboards so that even gamers can run games using 6 gpus as SLI will not be necessary.

DEAR ASUS

The least You can do now, is to send an official letter of apologies to Your x399 customers and fire and replace the X399 platform Chief Officer, because this has become a Ethical problem now, for which the people who spend money of Your products demand amendments.

Until that moment I feel safe to say that Your x399 concept, quality, engineering, and support is a complete piece of cheap junk

Please do note that if You had made a 7 PCIe slots dual 10 Gbit ethernet IO WS motherboard or even a ROG one with these specifications, You would have sold it like bread even if Threadripper was coming in a 4 core variant.

This is a further reason for having Your Chief of X399 platform resign and be replaced, as You would have sold at least 70 times more than what You actually did. Your chief has caused You financial losses, bad reputation and catastrophic missed opportunities on x399.

I ordered from Amazon, and then cancelled Amazon order and ordered at Newegg because it was a few bucks cheaper plus additional $130 combo discount with 1950x.

The code base / firmwares (AGESA) for Zeppelin is pretty mature at this point, so the lack of bios based on the latest AGESA isn't a big deal anymore. For example between the AGESA 1.0.0.3 & 1.0.0.4 (ThreadripperPI) there are no changes to any of the firmwares, which control the vast majority of the hardware. Basically the only changes to the bios code would be the changes affecting the platform specific custom code from the ODM side.

@ENTERPRISE Man finally some else speaks out!!! Asus has fallen so far from its original state and what we all have grown to expect and love.

Don't feel or think that they are doing this just to or/ happening to the x399 only check out the Rampage VI Extreme it is the same exact way, releasing BETA Bios's on this forum but NO information given as to what they fix and not on the support page. Drivers yea it would be extremely nice if they updated the drivers for our products more than release of product (i know they do somewhat but not keeping up with at least Intel release)

Don't get me started on there horrible Aura software that has been broken for how long now? I have read complaints with the same issues I am having from several years ago, still aren't fixed. There LiveDash software is just as broken as Aura.

X299 Skylake-X still does not have an option in the BIOS for SPD WRITE ENABLE so that a person can back up the SPD tables on memory, I have asked about this in several forums along with others on this forum and including their own forum and also called NOTHING has changed or any information given.

Thank you for taking the time to make this post I made these post before in several other threads and was pretty much told to complain to Asus WHICH i have done several times and filled out there worthless google form little support thing. They don't care they aren't going to change anything. I have contacted support via the phone several times each time to be told they don't help with software, than who does??

I wanted to let you know you are not alone my friend, and thank you for making this post and hopefully it will bring more light on issues.

Only way to change these issues is to vote with our wallets, I have decided once the EVGA x299 Dark comes out this Rampage VI Extreme will be for sale.

Hey The Stilt, great job on the DRAM profiles, keep it up!
Unfortunately, it's not just the BIOS (I gotta be honest, I'm perfect as I am right now BIOS wise, even though I'd love to give a try to your mBIOS ASAP

), it's the entire platform to suffer from late (and few) updates. After 3 months, AURA, LiveDash and AISuite still have tons of problems...

Thank you a lot for sharing your frustration!

Let us hope that with both Teams united ASUS will do something about before we pull the trigger for other board vendor.

It is a big deal, the fact is why can other manufacturers get out the latest code base, but Asus cannot. Regardless of how small the changes are, we should be operating on the latest AGESA. I though Asus was supposed to provide enthusiast level hardware ? If so then why are we not getting enthusiast level support and updates ? Especially after we paid enthusiast level prices !

Just no excuse in my mind.

Thanks all for sharing your perspectives thus far

Jokes, and flame wars aside,

welcome, everyone to amd, i was amazed with the support zen got, frankly amd is low priority. Esp with the new platform for intel out, that everyone flocked to. Frankly I am amazed everyone expected differently. Amd was never as bad as people made it out too be, but due to this stigma, and has less sales, with less sales, less support.

Unfortunately AMD Epyc derived CPUs are above enthusiast for what they can do....today I Would call the AM4 platform as HEDT and enthusiast, not X399 or EPYC.

You can run 6 GPUs on a single socket, or tons of storage in raid, You can daisy chain machines if there was in build dual 10 Gbit Ethernet rather than a pathetic add on card, and obliterate in performance 100 thousand dollars Nvidia DGX severs or or 60 thousand dollars VCA with just two AMD Threaripper motherboards with 8 cores non OC cpus on it if there was proper motherboard engineering and concept for EPYC/Threadripper.
You could have only remotely have dreamed of this just a few month back and forced to commit to a 8 gpu dual socket Intel server, to get less HPC out put than what You can now...and it can only get 100% faster with PCIE 4.0 at the least......calling x399 enthusiast platform is what all the press You tubers and ASUS got wrong right from day 1.
It is pretty obvious that because of this ASUS debacle, that at Nvidia they will come out with lowest possible specced Volta GPUS rather than what was supposed to be in the real roadmap, and We as usual lose in all of this both as product quality , availability and performance.

I would want to add that there is no way that even a perfect working state of the art ZENITH ROG motherboard, would be anywhere close to be sufficient in features for an AMD threadripper with 32 cores on 7 NM installed on it.

in few words ...even if ROG ZENITH WAS PERFECT AND SUPPORT PERFECT, it would still be a piece of junk motherboard

Higher cost, does not mean higher profit.
Hypothetical example
10000 at 600, with 30% markup or 10000000 at 450 20% markup which makes more monies

It is this that I find to be the case, at least with regards to the Zenith, but it seems it could be across more products after reading into it further. I cannot speak for the other products having not used them but in the Zenith's case it is appauling. I really hope that someone from Asus will pop there head in and give us some sort of update or explanation as that is the very least they could do for their consumers.
