*Tested failed with mem XMP and or OC with sync settings in mem controller, auto voltage to X on both PIMIC's,
*The workaround is to set the mem controller to auto per PIMIC's voltages to X.
*Manual voltage override setting per core P+E, after updating the number always is red...
*Workaround is to set the wanted X voltage with X offsets or set it in the main general manual\offset core voltage setting and set it there to X (not per core, but all core voltage)
*One of those made a mem training restart loop and a loop of memory training fail + shutdown turn on train loop.
*The update is not recommended for beginning overclocker. (stay with up to BIOS v.1030 if you don't know what you're doing) 
*After fixing those 2 problems the system is working with OC settings and without.
*Write down your settings before updating, for the update loads defaults
