GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

[Flameancer]

Wow. I didn’t think x570 was getting more updates. I’ve been on F36d since July 2022 and to my surprise I see that F36 for the x570 pro WiFi is no longer in beta but a full release. Here’s hoping we still get a few more updates since AM4 is still an active platform.

Yeah failure to boot a couple of times. Once the networking just stopped.
I'm thinking it could be PCIe lanes or related.
While troubleshooting issues I had Nvme drive that acted weird and effected the rest of the system, I figured it was broken and I took it out and that seemed to fix it much of the issues. Now I'm thinking the drive might be fine and it was a PCIe lane issue or similar all along. Considering it affects boot, USB devices to stop working and now networking (once).

yea.. unfortunately I can confirm some of that as well.
Weirldy though it feels like the first cold boot only causes these problems therefore when I boot up my computer the first time after it was completely shut off I go into bios, shut it off again, start it again and then none if these problems occur.
Could be placebo, but so far I had no problems when doing that.

I am usually a really patient person, but at this point it is getting annoying.. thats the 3rd F8 BIOS that still does not work. (yea I know its beta, but they do release those on official website as well without even acknowledging that those are beta?!)
Feels like in general Zen4 ist just such a unfinished product as it seem to be the norm nowadays.. Starting to get pissed thats for sure.

So far F8b worked the best for me personally besides those horrendous and ridicoulusly boot times.

It's a year today since Gigabyte released their last stable BIOS update for the B550I (F15 on 13/01/22). I wonder if we'll ever see a non beta release of F16, or even agesa 1.2.0.8? (Doubtful!)

Aorus B450 Pro Wifi is still in beta F63c, any news for the final version?

Don't be to doubtful. The x570 Master just got a final F36 after being in beta for ages. Now today I check and we have an F37a. Who knows what AGESA it is as the changelog simply says

1. Checksum : CA0A
2. Optimized performance

But given F36 is AGESA V2 1.2.0.7. I'd hazard a guess it's 1.2.0.8. https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard...upport-dl-bios

Possible as AGESA 1.2.0.8 fixes a CVE on Cezanne according to AMD. AMD Client Vulnerabilities – January 2023 | AMD I ran the downloaded BIOS thru SMU checker and no changes as far as SMU. Still learning UEFITool to check AGESA unless someone here is better versed than I on what to exactly look for as the information given is pretty much above my pay grade.

It is strange that B550i last release was 12 months ago but luckily F15 has been an OK version - unless you actually have a 5800x3D or fTPM stutter needing the the new AGESA

There has been a new Revision 1.2 of the B550i and this comes with a different BIOS number FA which also includes AMD AGESA V2 1.2.0.7 like F16e - so surely they could release this for Rev 1.0 / 1.1

One difference in spec 1.1 to 1.2 is the BIOS FLASH size is smaller at 128 Mbit

Beta bios F37a has dropped for Aorus master x570 patch notes list "optimized performance" and nothing else.

Can someone please check if the new BIOS fixes PBO for Ryzen 5000 series? Just set EDC in UEFI 1W higher than stock and observe if single threaded boost is still limited to 1.425-1.45V instead of 1.5V. There is no new UEFI for my x570 Aorus Pro yet, so I cannot test it yet. The issue is present on all AM4 boards, regardless of the chipset. Thank you!

I don't think it fixes the EDC bug. But, if you want a workaround, you can set the EDC to 0 in BIOS and use pbo2tuner to set the EDC manually.

Looks like gigabyte has changed BIOSes for X670 Elite AX (1.0). F7f is gone replaced by F6c and F6d (the latter having the 1.0.0.4 AGESA version). Wonder what is up with that and if anyone has tested / used it. I would love a bios version that adds mid-boost functionality so my 7950x will go above 5.5!

Does anyone have issues with SAM enabled? My PC will crash (black screen / lose all USB devices) within 10 minutes of playing Death Stranding. However if resizable bar is disabled in the BIOS, the issue disappears. Running F15 BIOS with 5600x and RX6800

Had the same problem some time ago, I thought. Pl0x try some heavy gpu burning first, not game testing only. I know it sounds derpy, but try refitting the GPU power cables, on the psu, too, if modular.

Thanks! It only happens in specific games, and death stranding is the only game so far that I can consistently have this problem. I tried a new power supply and that didn't fix it. Also updated to the latest BIOS F16e and same thing.

PSU cables seem fine, and CPU
/GPU benchmarks (like OCCT power test) have no issues!

How did you fix it?

EdIt: it appears to be a driver bug: Radeon Adrenaline 22.11.2 with SAM enabled causes the hard crash 100% of the time. Driver 22.5.1 with SAM enabled doesn't cause my PC to hard crash
