GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

[dr__atomic]

Hello,

I do not know from where you take the knowledge about "at least Cat. 6" or "Cat 7".

I laid hundreds (maybe thousands) cables, connected several server rooms and computer in a quite large building and anything but 5e for a home use is not required. As stated in a standard, 2.5 Gbps and 5 Gbps should run on standard 5e cables. For not too much lenghts 10 Gpbs is also supported (I tested this). And did you know that Cat 7 does not have RJ-45 connector and wouldn't fit into any motherboard on in the Gigabyte's (or others consumer market motherboards)? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

In new building in walls there are Cat 6 cables laid as a standard (at least in Poland). I have 2.5 Gbps interface on my B550M AORUS PRO-P and used both Cat 6. and 5e, both work with:

• ISP's router (1 Gbps switch/router)
• Raspberry Pi 4 as a router
• HP Enterprise switch

So no, this is (99.99 % not a Category problem). Maybe a faulty/damaged/bad quality cable or faulty NIC.
Or I'm wrong and it is, but there is no evidence for that.

I need to correct myself in one thing: apparently cat 7. RJ-45 connectors are better available than some time ago, I had a bit dated knowledge, where RJ-45 was not that easily available.
But still, 5e should work fine.

stasio 20 meter lan cable is cat7 and hard wired.
Cable to the routers, Cat7.
Cable from router to PC, either Cat7 and Cat5e tested.
The previous motherboard (X570 Master) with revision 1.0 did not have the error.
Furthermore, "stasio", the Cat7 and Cat5e only defines the speed but not the function.
Even Cat5 should work with the length.
The router reports, the PC is available, PC reports not available.

This is not always the case Cat5e has problems when implemented in high bandwidth applications because of the characteristics of the wires inside the cable
Cat5e has lower frequency and higher noise

hi stasio, I found a bug with the Realtek 2.5G LAN.
If the lan cable is too long, the Realtek has disconnections or it disables.

I have a Z490 Vision D and just picked up an 11900K. Anyone know what the microcode version is for the F20 bios in the first post? GB website has "F20d" as the latest BIOS so I assume this is newer than that? Having all kinds of stability issues that I'm not happy with, stuttering when transitioning from unloaded to light load and such, and it's very difficult to get a stable OC.

Also have issues with a Z490 Vision D with an i7-11700K, BIOS using F20d. Never had any issues with my i7-10700K at 5.0 all-core OC using F7c. With F20d and Rocket Lake, I'm experiencing multiple boot loops (sometimes 3 cycles before it works), pauses prior to POST with debug errors 36 and 37, sometimes I get a black screen with a cursor prior to the Gigabyte logo appearing, etc. In HWInfo, my CPU "minimum" core temp sensors zero out, saved the debug log and reported to HWInfo and the author confirms it's not a program issue, that's really what the CPU is reporting.

When I can get into Windows and attempt any form of overclock (something as simple as +1 across all cores or even trying the "CPU Upgrade" set to "Advanced Mode", I can't run multiple loops of CB20 without a BSOD-WATCHDOG error. Doesn't matter if fixed/override voltage set to 1.35, 1.385, 1.4, etc., LLC at High or Turbo.

Ended up getting a "stable" system after I reset the CMOS via battery removal, loading Optimized Settings, Save/Exit (again 2-3 boot attempts), but leaving it at stock settings with the only changes to Above 4G and BAR Enabled, XMP Profile enabled, and NVMe mode to Rocket Lake due to my Samsung 980 PRO. This lead to stability and one-attempt boots, whether cold or warm.

I'm eager to read how "regular" F20 works on everyone's boards (before I jump in and try it).

@dr__atomic : Universal Network wall box is Cat6.

@zmeul has found the error:

Thanks zmeul.
The error exists on the X570, just like on the B550.

stasio stated that Gigabyte would be skipping AGESA 1.2.0.2 and release 1.2.0.3 as recommended by AMD.

However,
seemse that GB will still release Agesa 1.2.0.2 early next week and 1.2.0.3 likely 1st week of May.

The issues with the Realtek 2.5GB device are posted widely for some time now. At a minimum the connection drops and can be restored with disable/enable but with the GB 10.47 I got the worst failure type where all devices on that router port disconnect - so the GB 10.47 is not a fix.

Earlier posts in this thread suggest work is in progress with 10.48 an improvement

Meanwhile disabling various settings like IM and Flow Control seem to help

Aorus B550 PRO AC + OEM 5900x geting whea right after i go higher than 3800mhz ram OC
System finishing all tests even at 4066mhz, but there is whea spam is going on in windows journal

I have 10.47 downloaded from Gigabyte installed, when I tried to install 10.48 from Realtek instead of installing it asks if I wish to modify or remove the driver.

That is a completely normal phenomenon :) You already have a driver, the newest one will have modify/remove the existing installation. Removing it should be safe if you have installer with the newest driver already downloaded.

Z390 AORUS Master - F11o
when changing the frequency of RAM-the bios fulfills my requirements, but does not save them in its memory because of this, if you choose to boot from another device via the bios, it constantly offers to save these settings, from which loading from the device does not occur, since if you click on save recent changes, the BIOS first restarts the PC to save the settings, but it does not do this, and the next time you log in, it also does not boot from another device, offering to save the latest changes first. If you change the default, then everything becomes fine. When choosing an XMP profile, the BIOS does not set the default values that are sewn in RAM in the xmp profile and I can also change all the settings for some reason.... In general, the bios can not save my modification with RAM.

Anything above 3200mhz is considered OC by AMD specs. WHEA errors are not rare above 3200.

And if you want to reset custom setting you have to remove first and then re-run the setup.
