GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

[Red Forman]

This is hot ****ing garbage
I give a **** how you feel about people tossing you **** because you shove their concerns off by telling them to "file a ticket with support" with Gigabyte and they don't like it because NOTHING OF VALUE HAPPENS AFTER THEY DO SO

I took your advice, I filed a ticket through eSupport because I wanted to see just how bad the customer support truly is

Considering that I asked a simple, easily answered, question regarding options available to set VCORE through the UEFI and I received the following responses:
1) Look in the manual (so I'm supposed to read this, "CPU Vcore/Dynamic Vcore(DVID)/VCORE SOC/Dynamic VCORE SOC(DVID)/CPU VDD18/ CPU VDDP/A_VDD18S5/DRAM Voltage (CH A/B)/DDRVPP Voltage (CH A/B)/DRAM Termination (CH A/B) These items allow you to adjust the CPU Vcore and memory voltages." and somehow discern the differences between "AUTO" and "NORMAL"?
2) If it's not in the manual it's not supported (yet, it is in the manual and the question remains unanswered...)
3) Take computer science courses if you want to know more about why Gigabyte makes the choices it does worth its hardware (????????????????????)

I firmly believe that the majority of individuals talking about how crap the customer support is are likely telling the truth

You giving unreleased beta BIOS access to the public through this forum yet refusing to discuss anything or POST THE ****ING CHANGELOGS alongside said BIOS uploads is ****ing stupid

Stop acting like anyone owes you anything, stop acting like people are getting over on anything, stop posting the ****ing BIOS files if you can't interact with the people that put food on your ****ing table by buying your terribly supported hardware if you can't stop acting like a spoiled ****ing brat

I gives less than a **** if I'm banned for this, you're a ****ing prick

Holy Crap Batman!!! How friggin clueless are you? I have for years lurked on these forums and never made an account. Your stupidity on display forced me to however. Congrats to you for being the biggest duchebag of the month!

"Stop acting like anyone owes you anything, stop acting like people are getting over on anything, stop posting the ****ing BIOS files if you can't interact with the people that put food on your ****ing table by buying your terribly supported hardware if you can't stop acting like a spoiled ****ing brat"

Where do I even begin with that little gem? Stop acting like anyone owes you anything? You must have been looking in the mirror when you typed that. And, Stasio can post any bios files without a changelog. You know why???? Cuz he doesn't owe any of us anything. Now, probably why he doesn't is because HE DOESNT HAVE THE F'ING CHANGELOG you twit. People like you are the ones that ruin crap for everyone else. Because you want to act like a little B and throw a fit online. Grow the F up.

F33a is not on Gigabytes website so I expect F33b to be available from the webpage shortly.

You can manually change it on the download link in your browser. F33a works (I just tested it), F33b doesn't however.

This is the reply I got from them on the issue:

Hello,

As you already know to fix the issue is to set the PCIE to Gen3. We have forwarded to AMD and wait for their solution. There is no ETA as we can tell.

Then closed my ticket. Oh, never knew downgrading to Gen3 is now classed as a 'fix' (which I explained was a temp. workaround) completely garbage support.

This is a problem on a lot of different mobos from all manufactures, and is an issue with the portion of the bios code that Gigabyte does not develop, the AGESA. That portion of the bios comes from AMD directly which has issues with Gen4 and USB. Not sure what you expected AMD support to do for you other than the suggestion they provided.

F33c (17/02/2021) is live for Aorus X570 Master, Pro, Gaming X, and UD right now, but not for the rest. Given, it's only 1 day old.

Patch notes are:

1. Update AMD AGESA ComboV2 1.2.0.0
2. Improve USB 2.0 compatibility

I know exactly what this issue is as I explained it to them in detail, including the Gen3 workaround so they infact suggested nothing. Good support would leave the ticket open, link to a problem ticket and keep the customers updated - it's quite simple and something I used to do years ago in tech support.

This seems like an AMD platform, right?

On Intel, I can tell you the difference between "Normal" and "Auto".

"Normal" is Intel defaults, or what Gigabyte sets for intel defaults. (e.g. Loadline Calibration: 1.1 mohms on 8/10 core Z490, 1.6 mOhms on 8 core Z390, etc).

"Auto" is usually intel defaults, but can be changed by other BIOS settings to specific values. For example, Loadline Calibration on "Auto" gets changed to "Turbo" if MCE is enabled (but still shows auto).

"Normal" Ignores Multi-core enhancement. It's pure defaults.

"Auto" can be affected by MCE or other bios settings.

On Z490, CPU Vcore=fixed= the "old" override mode==sets vcore to a fixed value.
Override=overrides the cpu VID via serial VID, rather than the vcore. (this is basically the same thing as setting vcore on a laptop).

I have absolutely no idea about AMD, but if AMD has some sort of MCE setting, it may be very similar.

Btw,
thanks for (official) changelog.

[Tandem]

The BIOS version F11o for the Z390 AORUS MASTER contains all the menu items, as in the F11m (CPU Core PLL Overvoltage (+mv), CPU Vcore/VAXG Protection, Core Current Limit (Amps))?

[xavdeman]

Well over 90% of the "problems" I see in other forums, and in this thread, are complaints by people who have no clue about what they are doing, who don't understand much of anything about their own systems, and who "hear" things in other forums that aren't true at all but because they know very little themselves they accept these errors as facts. And these people end up compounding whatever problem it is they think they have.

Stasio isn't obligated to give you the time of day--no one is, frankly--and with this kind of stupid, belligerent attitude, you should expect nothing. People who think that any motherboard made by any company, running any CPU, *guarantees their overclocking experiments* is clueless--totally clueless.

You got it the other way around.

90% are actual problems like Realtek 2.5 GbE, bluetooth, USB failing. Around 10% is people complaining their RAM, BCLK and IF overclocks fail to boot.

And as I've said before, Stasio with his unprofessional use of language and his smartass attitude is extremely unlikely to have any affiliation with GigaByte, if he ever did.

He just finds BIOS urls on the GigaByte servers.

If you have issues don't report just here, report to GigaByte support: https://esupport.gigabyte.com/Login/Index

F11o yes: has a fix of these settings, like in the m version.

my feedback to f13b: everthing works (usb, ram oc with flck 1900), the stock performance is slower than with f12, ctr tool brings a little more power than f12, but these power isn't full stable. if f12 wouldn't exist, it would be my 1. bios.

it would be nice if the smart fan control wouldn't be so much aggressive. i didn't get the cpu radiator fans quiet in short idle power peak. the fan acceleration need a longer delay.

so now i'm back to f12 and wait for f13 final and ctr 2.1 (for ryzen 5000 boost)

it is you who have not the faintest idea what you are writing as they have already answered you 90% are real problems
that I will not repeat


in the next days we try the new beta bios, let's see if it's the right time that someone (amd or gigabyte?) fixed the ITE device problem....

[Marucins]

Well, finally they woke up.
Eventually they will patch this F33 bios to such a level that it will be possible to upload and start using.

By the way, I think that Gigabyte for X570 chipsets should remove Ryzen 2 support.
To slim down and improve performance for Ryzen 3000 and 5000

[TrebleTA]

Very unlikely it will sort ITE as it has it's own firmware not related to bios. Was this way with the z390

[FedeS]

probably yes but being that the error that returns the operating system is related to the usb set_address_failed
on website report "Improve USB 2.0 compatibility"
everything would seem to always run to usb the only thing i have never tried yet is to set pcie to gen 3
as suggested by many
