Thank you guys for your efforts

If more improvements can be made, we will. At the very least lets hope Biostar gets wind of this and it puts pressure on them to do better for the GT7 and 8.

I ignore settings I don't know about, or don't use, they wouldn't make it look more difficult to me, but I do know what you mean

Great work on the UI, it looks so much better now in your images!

Thanks, overhauling the UI was a true pain in the arse because of how Biostar have built the firmware. I'd unlock more options if I thought they served a purpose but mostly they are debug stuff or under the hood things that don't serve any practical use for overclockers or the normal user so theres just no point in unlocking them. As it is theres actually plenty of options that don't serve a practical purpose for your average joe or OCer that I could get rid of but if I did that the firmware would start to look a little barren where most of the useful options I would expose to replace them Biostar have torn out completely and aren't present at all such as Spread Spectrum, TimerTick, etc options.

@ket The motherboard power cycles 3 times before booting up. I assume it is training the DRAM. Is there any way to speed up the booting process? It takes 20 seconds to post.

@barisuraz if the board is rebooting 3 times you have a DRAM problem. The board after first setting up the memory, along with any XMP profile etc, will POST, cycle where the DRAM is training, then boot as normal. It'll only do this when changing DRAM frequency it should not do it every time.

I agree about editing all the UI, for each image you had to do the actual image edits, then add/correct a header each time too, on hundreds of images. I looked at that, and wow, I knew it would be a major painstaking process!

I hear you on the options too, some options no one will use, but some people peek in there and then see settings they can't see in BIOS, so want it "all unlocked" so I tend to start there sometimes to avoid those that see missing options

@ket @Lost_N_BIOS is there any way to unlock memory speeds not available in the BIOS like 3000/3066/3133 Mhz? 2933-3200 is a quite big gap.

There is more options in the CBS, but adding more options not present in setup module already, I've hit a wall on that this month already trying to add another larger entry for someone on DVMT (iGFX) memory size options too.
Maybe ket knows, and I should have asked him already and forget to ask him to help me on my similar situation?

Adding memory dividers is complicated its more than just adding a selectable option I don't think adding something like that will be possible. I will look at this though as there are a lot more memory divider options in the hidden memory configuration of the CBS module. Only reason I can think of why Biostar haven't added the extra dividers is simply through being lazy.

There was a memclk option in MSI CBS which has 1500,1533,1566mhz options. It's worth trying to enable it IMO. Not sure if it'll work or not tho. @ket

The option itself also needs to be in the custom Biostar module unless all AMD memory options are unlocked and you try your luck with overclocking through CBS options instead. Theres so much that needs addressing in the Biostar firmware I'm none too keen to go potentially opening up more cans of worms.

I guess we can't do anything else until Biostar releases a new BIOS. I contacted support for a beta BIOS so if I get a new file I'll share it with you guys.

@ket The first bios with AGESA pinnacle 1.0.0.6 has been released for the C7H 2 hours ago. Will let you guys know if there's anything notable. https://www.overclock.net/forum/11-amd-m...ml#post27664556 Here's the link if you want to check it out.

@barisuraz this is Biostar, it'll take them months to release a firmware with AGESA 1006, that is if they bother at all. Theres only so much myself and my contact can do to get them to do what they should already be doing; which is to say actually supporting the products they are releasing. I'll prod them where I can but lets put it this way; I won't be using the GT7 much longer.
