GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

[ncfoster]

F37a caused me much headache. Can anyone report how F37c is doing for them on x570 Elite WiFi? Thank you!

My son and I are running F37c, both with 3800X on the x570 Elite Wifi. No issues, but I've only gone for the easy light memory overclocks, got it stable and ...the end. I didn't really have issues with any of the BIOS though. Other than both my son and I have somewhat random and rare issues with the BIOS dropping all settings to default. In my case it seems to occur on random reboots - the system doesn't come back, stalls on boot, then needs a power cycle or reset. When it does boot - BIOS settings all gone. In my son's system, the issue seemed to happen just while he was gaming - crash/reboot - BIOS settings all default.
Just a matter of loading a saved profile back, but very annoying. Hasn't happened on this BIOS yet, but it was rare enough that it might just have not happened.... yet.

I had a Gigabyte board back in the P4 days I think, and it went sideways - all the capacitors - literally every one of them - had swollen or leaked. I said - never again. This x570 has been flakey, but at least nothing like that. Most of my issues with it are the BIOS in general, and I think much of that is due to AMD trying to support AM4 forever on everything. That manner of support is arguably both a great feature - and a great hindrance.

Bear in mind that you are running a beta bios. Any bios release followed by a letter, is beta, and will have bugs. Some beta bioses have more bugs than others...;) You could try setting your memory clocks back to default as that sounds far more likely to cause a mid-game crash as it isn't something a buggy bios will ordinarily do. The problem with overclocking is that it's true that often a system will boot--sometimes--and appear to be running fine, until it encounters a game or application that reveals a problem with the overclock--and then you get a system crash. Just because an overclock runs some programs fine is no guarantee that it will run everything and remain stable.

You say "no issues" and then go on to relate your issues...;) Always the first step in resolving stability issues is to restore all clocks and all voltages to default. that is non-negotiable. If after that you still have issues, then you would want to consider flashing (followed by a CMOS reset) to a bios version without the letter after. But really, memory overclocks are one of the major causes of instability in all systems. Don't overclock the bus (FCLK), etc. Leave all bios settings at their defaults, as well. When a bios comes up and loses its settings, generally what happens is that there is at least one setting the bios does not like, and it resets automatically. Bioses are funny like that, sometimes they will boot working around the incompatible setting, sometimes they spontaneously reset.

If after doing the above, you still have the problem, then you would want to remove your CMOS battery on the motherboard, let it drain of residual voltage for 15 minutes, pop it back in and go.

Computers are complex beasts these days, and I am assuming here that your PSU is up to snuff--it probably is. Troubleshooting is simply a process of elimination, and as stated, you first want to rule out your overclocks by setting all clocks and voltages to default.

I've been running my x570 Aorus Master for close to three years (next month) and it runs better now than it ever has...;) I'm happy with the quality of this board. So many things erroneously get nailed to motherboards...some folks think overclocking is guaranteed, etc. Hope you get fixed up...;)

ASRock released new HEDT Bioses (1.83beta) to fix the known new vulnerabilities for the month May.
Anyone knows when GB will also introduce the new AGESA 1.0.0.7 for HEDT Platform ?

Thanks for the advice; I've been doing this awhile - nothing beat overclocking the Celeron 300A with a piece of scotch tape.

I did it myself...;) You could get 100% overclocks then for, or take a 386/486 from 16MHz to 32Mhz...etc. It's way different these days, but I remember, as well...;)

I do not know English, I write with a translator. how do I flash the bios, constantly gives an error about the wrong bios format, or something like that?
I have blue screens, I have already checked everything, the bios remains and I want to change it again, maybe it will help, but the mat board does not allow me to do this....

What about the original slot A Athlon and gold fingers?

Ok i solve all problems with driver 10.46 and disable this advanced settings according to MSI and Asrock forums:

Advanced EEE
ARP Offload
Energy-Efficient Ethernet
Gigabit-Lite
Green Ethernet
Interrupt Moderation
IPv5 Checksum Offload
Large Send Offload v2 (IPv4)
Large Send Offload v2 (IPv6)
NS Offload
Power Saving Mode
TCP Checksum Offload (IPv4)
TCP Checksum Offload (IPv6)
UDP Checksum Offload (IPv4)
UDP Checksum Offload (IPv6)

Next setp contact Gigabyte support for ITE Device issue (set_address_failure) on B550i Aorus Pro

that post is a year old
the problem was fixed several months ago with subsequent driver releases

For the first time since updating to AGESA 1.2.0.7 my usb ports were left on when I shut down the pc forcing me to manually turn the PS off otherwise my kb would've stayed lit.

hmm, even with F36e on my AORUS Master v1.2 with TPM enabled, I noticed today once audio/video stutter for a few second then never again... I thought AMD fixed this in AGESA 1.2.0.7, yet that was the same sort of stutter before... on Windows 10 here

You need to enable ERP in the bios to prevent this from happening.............

[Puffnstuff]

It was on when it happened.
