Z790 and X670E BIOS update.

with this new z790 f11e bios aorus extreme ax
system will not shut down just reboots instead
F11d was fine

[bigcid10]

ok here's the deal
I fixed the no shut down issue (graphics driver reload)
but 11e-g bios' on the z790 aorus elite ax(v1.0) have memory issues
reason why is if I run memtest 86 pro on F11D it will pass all 13 tests 4 times with my OC'd memory configuration
but F11E-G it will fail within the first 2 tests every time . very unstable bios'
but F11D is fine

I need some guidance here. Using B550 Vision DP with F15. I want to update the FW to the latest F17.

To update the FW, is it mandatory to disconnect the NVmE which I am using as my data drive? Understand that no pen drive should be connected except the one with FW in the flash USB.

Thanks.

I have never heard of having to disconnect another drive to do a flash just select the drive with the bios update file in the bios utility Qflash which is accessed from within UEFI or by hitting end instead of delete on the logo splash screen. One thing you can do to ensure you don't end up with issues is to put everything to default before flashing like XMP and any OC settings. I have had many drives connected even over USB including other pen drives and no issues on my end and I flash literally every single release and there has been a lot for my board X570 Aorus Elite. Hope I am understanding your issue correctly.

Noted and thanks.

I did my first FW update about 2 years ago and I cannot recall all the details now. It was a scary event for me, the brick scenario was in my head. Ha.

I want to do another FW update as mine is now a few FW behind, mainly for the security updates.

I have checked on the web and also with GG HQ, and they stated to remove all SSDs for the FW update. Removing my SSD (NVmE) is troublesome as I will have to remove my GPU (fear touching the clip to release the GPU as I may have damaged it the last time I used it).

Appreciate your input on my steps below:

a. Copy the latest and correct FW onto a FAT 32 pendrive, inserted in the flash USB port.
b. Normalise all OC settings (reset to default). Still struggling with XMP as there is no XMP setting in my bios (I am using AMD 5900X). AMD has DOCP (= Intel's XMP) and I cannot find that in the bios either. Check with GG said to just go ahead with the FW update. Still worries me as I will be the one with the brick if something is not right and not them.
c. Shutdown and go bios. Select the FW update option and hopefully a peaceful 10-15 mins update. Ha.

Any important bits I overlooked? Thanks.

P/S Ignore the FW file name change to GIGABYTE.bin?

Questions:

'Just built a new AORUS Master X v1.0 system. The firmware shows a blank space for the ethernet's MAC, and the device is missing in a new vanilla install of Win11. It appears to be faulty. It is enabled, was toggled, saved, and toggled, and the board reflashed, each without improvement. Should the MAC (always) be present?

Any ideas about adding the 'X' class Z790 boards to this thread?

TIA

Please don't forget about us Z690 people. My Z690 AORUS MASTER (rev. 1.x) is so unstable in UE games. I have managed to tweak it down to become stable (using intel's recommended settings) but the motherboard settings are definitely not tuned properly to my 14900k by default. The PLs are set to unlimited by default and several other factors are super unstable in unreal engine games. Plus unlimited wattage on pl1 and 2 is not recommended or safe. A few small tweaks in a new bios would be greatfully appreciated.

Good Info thanks , I have the DDR4 Version and see today that GB has pulled all F11 bios's and F10 is listed as the last Stable one , not sure if that is cos we are about to get a Stable F11 with the Intel baseline Profile or if something else is up , but I wouldn't say this board/bios is 100% stable , at least with a 14900K.

Looks like they pulled the F11G bios from the Z790 AORUS ELITE AX (rev. 1.0)
it hasn't been there for about a week

Hello all. I hope this question is in the proper topic. If not, please let me know where should I post instead.


I have an old GA-H110M-DS2 (rev. 1.0) board. I noticed, there has been a new BIOS update for it after 6 years(!):

GA-H110M-DS2 (rev. 1.0/1.1/1.2) Support | Motherboard - GIGABYTE Global

F27 5.32 MB Mar 26, 2024 "Update bios boot menu function"

Does anyone have any idea what this boot menu function is about, and why did Gigabyte release it for a practically long-time dead platform after the previous update was released in 2018 (6 years ago)?
There is a newer revision (rev 1.3) of this board, that has a release date of 2023 August. That is also something, I cannot understand, why Gigabyte released a Skylake-era motherboard in 2023?

I have Aorus Pro B560M Motherboard, latest BIOS on site for this MB is F11, this bios have a some problems with Windows 11 and this is reason why I switch back to F10.
I flash BIOS ONLY with USB and never used @BIOS apps from gigabyte, today I was try that App and It's tell me that I can update my BIOS to F13 but this version I can't found on site, I was try and BIOS F13 installed, now what I can see, this BIOS F13 solved all problems with this motherboard, also error in Windowswhich I have all this years "Event ID 56 Application Popup not found" now gone. Anyone maybe have idea where I can find this BIOS to download and why is not posted on Gigabyte site ?
