GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

Why are some of the X570 BIOSs at e and others are at f?

BIOS update....

X570 series



- Agesa 1.2.0.1
- Date 03/12/2021

Hi, stasio.

Q-code96 appears after updating this F33f version and cannot boot.
As a result of the test, we installed the Creative Sound Blaster AE-9 in the PCIEX4 slot, not the problem with the SSD, but this was the problem. When AE-9 is removed, it boots normally. It boots up without any problem even if you install another LAN card in that slot.

It will not boot if only AE-9 is installed.

The mainboard is the X570 Aorus Xtreme.

There is no problem with F32, but this problem only occurs with F33.

One thing I notice on F33f on the Xtreme is under System Memory Multiplier every option is now listed twice, e.g. (36, 36, 36.33, 36.33, 36.66, 36.66, ...)
Also, haven't totally confirmed this yet but I might have lost a few points off my stable Curve Optimizer undervolt from F33c, but needs further testing to say for sure.

Am I the only one getting "invalid BIOS image prompt"?
Currently on F33c with X570 AORUS Xtreme. Can't update to F33f.

Same here on x570 master. Other than that minor discrepancy in the BIOS, system stability seems fine.

I get a weird fan control problem with F33f on X570 Ultra (that was not present in F33c).

For Fan5 the fan curve that I select is replaced after saving with one that is 100% for a big part of the temperature range. The fan connected is a PWM fan, if that makes any kind of difference.

(Problem visible both in the fan curve in UEFI Setup and with the fan going full blast.)

I get a weird fan control issue on X570 Ultra with F33f that I didn't have with F33c.

At least in the case of Fan5 it seems to not save the actual fan curve selected, rather one that has 100% for a big part of the temperature range instead.
Problem shows both in UEFI Setup where the fan curve looks wrong when you go back to look at it AND with the fan going full blast a lot.

(Tried to post essentially this same thing before but it seems TT ate the post... now I bet it will show twice instead.)

I just ran shadow of the tomb raider benchmark and with agesa 1.2.0.0 and 1.2.0.1 bios performance in this game decreased. My old screenshots were made with some f11 bios.
Memory had slightly different timings, but i doubt such change can cut minimum FPS this much.

Yes there is also different GPU driver, but i am 0% gpu bound in this test. Can anyone confirm this?
Motherboard is b550 aorus pro.

Well, seems like you changed a little bit too much. Not only Bios is different on your screenshots, also GPU driver changed. So you're comparing ham and eggs ;). GPU drivers can matter. Watch what your cpu clock is doing and revert to F11 if your score ist better then.

The VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR error started to fall out on F33e with the same settings as on F33c .. I had to roll back

Thanks as always for the updates.
Updated with out issue.

Two things though...
Auto OC still only shows up to 200MHz, previous F32 BIOS' where showing up to 500MHz. Not that this is a big deal for me as my CPU is never going to do that. :D
AGESA version still not showing up in CPU-Z, again this was ok in F32 and seems to have been an issue in all F33 versions.

Still on F32 so I can hit 4.925 single core on my 5600x, I concur, lol
I'm only interested in losing the higher auto-oc if I can get infinity fabric over 1900 fully stable.

Flashed B550i BIOS F13e on my 5600x build, and ran Cinebench R23 (both multi and single core), as well as 3DMark Timespy.

I was previously on F13c, but have scores from F13a. Cinebench R23 scores and 3DMark Timespy scores have been relatively consistent, although I don't have 3DMark Timespy for F13a.

Scores as follows:

Cinebench R23 (Multi) F13a - 11232
Cinebench R23 (Multi) F13c - 11147
Cinebench R23 (Multi) F13e - 11200

Cinebench R23 (Single) F13a - 1538
Cinebench R23 (Single) F13c - 1535
Cinebench R23 (Single) F13e - 1532

3DMark Timespy F13c - 9957 (CPU Score 8310)
3DMark Timespy F13e - 9967 (CPU Score 8248) - Only difference between settings is the Nvidia GPU driver, but despite the small decrease in CPU score, this result is fairly consistent.

As far as my CPU settings, I have PBO2/CO enabled with -30 offset on all cores, except for 2 fastest cores at -25 offset. PBO Limits are disabled. XMP Enabled on Memory (16 GB DDR4-3200 MHz CL16).

Temperatures maxed around 81 degrees on F13e for Cinebench R23 Multi core, 62 degrees for single core. Didn't check temps for 3DMark Timespy CPU test.

F13e in general seems to be very stable. No USB dropouts or 2.5 GB Ethernet issues so far. The only minor thing is the Bluetooth disappearing after flashing the BIOS, which has happened every time I've flashed a beta BIOS, but its easily fixed with powering down and unplugging power then reconnecting.

hi all,
first post for me :-) .
as i follow that thread for a long time, i decided to give you my feedback.
Not many thing to tell, but from my experience, since bios F13a on a G550 Pro, i'm able to go to 1933mhz 1:1:1, but can't pass it. 1966 give me sometimes WHEA error, and 2000mhz 1:1:1 give me lot of WHEA error (always the same, related to graphic card nvlddmkm error 14). if i roll back to 1933, it's fine, so i stay at 1933 for now.
note : with F13e, i have a bug related to smart fan 5 too. if i set a fan curve to fan 1 for example, sometimes it affect another fan with an eratic curve...
Otherwise, i'm fine with my config, didn't notice USB disconnect, but I am a little disappointed not to be able to use my PC to its full potential since 3 months that I have it. i think Gigabyte are a bit slow to give new bios...

ASUS and MSI just dropped their 1.2.0.1 BIOS this week too. Not sure why you're saying Gigabyte is slow?

updates depend on AMD Agesa releases also (at least to some degree)
