Just noticed the new 2.2.1 BIOS update for the Aurora R10.
This is the list of fixes :
------------------------------------
Fixes & Enhancements
Fixes:
- Fixed the issue where the BIOS cannot be updated using Dell SupportAssist.
Enhancements: - Added Dell SupportAssist | Pre-Boot System Performance Check warning message that is displayed while booting after Real Time Clock (RTC) reset. - Enhanced the stability of the system after installing an XMP device. It is applicable on systems with BIOS versions earlier than 2.2.1. - Reduced the fan noise when the system is idle.
----------------------------------------
So nothing really interesting, I guess the motherboard will still report itself wrongly to cpuz as a x570. I'll eat the bullet and update it to check the AGESA (we can always dream). Same AGESA, my hopes are down again.
I don't believe they can update AGESA without updating the micro code, and for some reason they cannot update the micro code.
I am thinking we will be stuck on AGESA 1.0.0.6 until EOL for the R10.
I do like how it's called "XMP device". So XMP memory. I have no issues with my aftermarket memory, so I am going to wait a bit to see how this update works out.
On a side note, can you try out REBAR support, see if the BIOS allows it? It was not included with the previous BIOS release.
Updated, to 2.2.1 and the fans are certainly quieter at the expense of a couple of degrees in temperature. One downside is AWCC no longer shows any info for the CPU, Frequency or temp.
I already have to vBIOS updated, but Dell didnt put the RBAR in the motherboard BIOS. There is not option in it. Mainly it is due to the fact that it will require to go higher in AGESA version and we would be able to go from Ryzen 3000 to Ryzen 5000, and they don't want that.
