GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

[gigaplex]

Who forcing you to flash?
Use BIOS from GB web page with changelog.

The changelog on the GB web page is largely worthless. There's no difference between any of the early F11 beta release notes vs the F12 final release notes. Surely something changed between all those builds but there's nothing in the release notes covering any of those changes.

May we consider a changelog like "

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

as a changelog? Really? LoL!

And... if you go https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard...upport-dl-bios and click download or save the object you receive: "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

Genius!

So i have 2 aorus b550i ax pro (super dupa fly... so next time gigabyte please add something more). But one is in the office and never used.
Had issues with usb 2 and 3, now seems fixed, and ethernet issue (famous realtek 8125), and i'v got a bios freeze at default

I m not going to discuss about the issues i had, now is working fine, and this is not the first gigabyte i have, i hade z77 if remember well, with same issue with random bios freezes even at default

an user, maybe on reddit, said that gigabyte tends to drop too much voltage or to have it low than normal (maybe for review?), but it is not confirmed for the moment
Only thing i know that a mate with same board must use LLC to high to do not have freezes during daily use, and it usint at default
Just reporting my experience wiht the usb:
using linux mint i didn't encounted any usb disconnection or crasy usbs

using windows... i had to format 4 or 5 times.
I was not able to install any amd chipset driver (system requirements not compatible with raid bla bla bla)... but i don't have a raid
i did installed only the drivers from the gigabyte motherboard support page, and once i removed the gigabyte drivers i was not able to reinstall them...

So at the 4 or 5th time, with fresh brand new windows installed offline (with ethernet cable disconnected), the first thing i did was to install the amd chipset drivers and it worked, then to update windows... but i don't know if i will be able to update the amd chipset driver when new will be released... big (?)

Nothing against gigabyte in itself but this things are weirdest that i had since over 20 years.


with love: ME! :D

stasio you back yet ?? because my ticket is still unattended on the Gigabyte Technical Support Page

Hi stasio Just heard from Gigabyte Tech Support, they provided me with another BIOS sample revision F9l for Z390 Aorus Xtreme Motherboard.
I tried it just now, everything working nicely so far. The option for disabling AQC-107 10Gig LAN is working fine. If any other option misbehaves , I will let you know here as well as there.

Link : https://drive.google.com/file/d/18GH...ChLxatdVY/view

Change Log: Nothing much from the previous F9j or F9k, only in F9l the option for disabling AQC-107 10Gig LAN is actually working as it should be.

Agreed pitiful change log :D and its always the same thing - improved USB 2.0 stability :P

Although it's true that other motherboards have problems with the same Realtek 2.5Gb chip, the Intel Wifi/BT module, and AMD USB, the frequency appears higher for Gigabyte and the B550i in particular.

The USB issues may be in the Ryzen SOC and B550 chipset and so AGESA changes may help but they may also be down to power and board design like with the BT module disappearing. I never had so many problems with Asus/Intel.

BIOS updates may help those who overclock and adjust settings but for the issues that affect everyone (not just 90% users) (USB, BT, Ethernet, ITE device, PWM fans) we'll be lucky to get a solution.

@luke8484:
I have the same motherboard (in fact I have had two) apart from the known problems of all that I am not repeating I have never had anything of what you are saying.

As another user said you are one of those who fall into this group: "...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..."

Still the problem with the CCX OC.

With a 5950x, only the first 4 cores of each chiplet are run at the correct rate.

The others clock at ~ 3600 Mhz

For example with CCX OC:

Bios set first Chiplet 4650 Mhz and second Chiplet 4550 Mhz

@ Windows/Desktop @ CPU-Z

4650 Mhz
4650
4650

3700

Thank you for your kind reply.

I v just reporte one (1) thing for hear say that i wront that "has been not confirmed" and i reported 1 (one) fact happened to a mate that using the same motherboard.
Both of us received freezes at default... so are you saying that all the people that wants to use a gigabyte board at default are stupid if the complains about weird things (facts or info reported as hearsay) that happens for real?

In all the cases involving the llc setting or raise the voltage fixed the issue. It is a fact.

And still we saying that we are investigating.

20 years or more that i m using different systems, os, hardware for different purposes. Personally i'v encounted bios freeze and daily freeze or bsod only due to the voltage, while overclocking some differend brand boards or... at default with gigabyte.

Regarding especially the FACT that i couldn't install the amd chipset driver, there are different threads with common problem even with other boards, this is one for instance https://community.amd.com/t5/drivers...rs/td-p/433053

It is not a bunch of people just complaining about something that is not real.

So next time better you be informed before talk, because if you never heard just try to google first. If you never encounted an issue you are assuming that it doesn't exist and all the people that complain that falls in this magic group.

And i m not reporting to complain that, but i just reported my experience. If might be helpful to someone or not, no one knows. I'm just reporting it.

Never heard about usb issue being so complicated, i will refresh your mind:

https://www.reddit.com/r/gigabyte/comments/huqc0i/stay_away_from_the_gigabyte_aorus_b550_pro/

and many more... just google them...

I have clues, dispite what you said that there is another existent group of people who talk trash because they are trash. Don't fall in it twice.

Regarding #3 - Gigabyte customer support actually said that to you!?

Yes, it cracked me up to no end and I was rather surprised
stasio, I'm sorry... My rant really had nothing to do with you and I shouldn't have addressed you simply because you're here, I apologize

To all others, I truly do apologize for clogging up the tubes with my belligerence

My behavior was uncalled for and unnecessary, I'll do my best to be more productive when posting in the future

I'm unconcerned with OC experiments and results... IF won't run at 2000MHz? Not Gigabyte. CPU won't hold 7.2GHz? Not Gigabyte.

To the gent that explained the difference between "Auto" and "Normal", that's my assumption for Ryzen platforms as well and hence why I'd thought it would be a softball question for eSupport staff but apparently I was wrong... No BD, it is what it is

Hi, Flashed the Aorusmasterx570.33c bios and all but IF 1900 work, SOC 1050, vddg 1000, vddp 950. WHEA-Errors in event log but only 2, Gigabyte is getting close to ironing out those WHEA's. Keep going! :)

[Anantha RamaKrishnan]

Flashed F13d on my Aorus B550 PRO AC

1) Bug from F13c regarding XMP not working has been fixed and working at proper frequencies in F13d
2) Processor performance HAS TAKEN ANOTHER DIP. BIOS versions by greater performance F12 > F13a > F13c > F13d
3) Motherboard VGA LED RED STATE is still on. (Present from F12)
4) I cannot boot in to BIOS until I clear_CMOS or update BIOS via app center. (Present from F12)

[TechFreak1]

However on F32 the OC has been rock solid and the memory voltage in opinion fixed as it doesn't go above 1.3 volts, so I decided to experiement with increasing the Memory clock to squeeze out more peformance. But, I've run into an odd issue with SVM - screenshots below.

I need SVM enabled, disabled is not an option for day to day use.

1. SVM and CSM enabled



2. SVM disabled, CSM enabled


3. SVM Re-enabled, CSM disabled



4. I then went back into Bios disabled SVM, enabled CSM, rebooted, re-enabled SVM, disabled CSM to re-confirm there is indeed something funky happening with the memory controller and I remembered doing leaving CSM enabled before today (doing the same set of actions, got me beyond 1380 Mhz - so I was curious if I did the opposite what would happen).


This screenshot was taken last year September with the F20 Bios with SVM and CSM enabled.

As you can see... there is a heavy penalty with SVM enabled which did not exist before.

[jwsg]

Naturally people panic when their new build misbehaves but there's no chance anyone on a forum or at Gigabyte can help unless the quality of the reports they make are a lot better - just saying youve seen other people on the internet with glitches proves nothing

But the BT module, USB and Realtek issues are common enough that if a manufacturer could get out of denial it could soon start to investigate

The ITE device and PCM fan issues happen on every boot and theres so no excuse for a manufacturer to not investigate

[StrongSense]

Any word on Auto-OC above 200mhz for the AGESA 1.2.0.0 bioses?
