GIGABYTE Latest Beta BIOS

[MrHugelberg]

seems like F9 is final now. It's laying on their servers but not on official website yet. Anyway, I just flashed it. Lets see if this one is actual usable.
First thing I noticed is that we have high res on boot screen now lol.

Gigabyte really knows where the priorities are /s

whoops, totally forget to mention the model.. X670E Master I was talking about. Anyway, BIOS F9 seem to have the same problems as F9c even worse for me, cause now I regulary loose my LAN port all of the sudden in windows, then I have to reboot to make it usable again.
It's still AGESA 1.0.0.5C

> AMD Ryzen Chipset Driver 5.02.19.2221

I was experiencing significant performance degradation with this driver, my Cinebench r23 multi core scores were down to ~14333 from ~15123 in the same conditions (5% difference).

How I confirmed the observation: started Windows normally, did several Cinebench runs with 5.02.19.2221, uninstalled chipset software from Installed Apps, installed 4.11.15.342, restarted, did several Cinebench runs again.

System: Ryzen 5800x @ 4850MHz / B550 / 64GB 16-20-20-40 / UCLK 1600MHz / FCLK 1900MHz

I don't use PBO/CO, but even with enabled PBO (142, 95, 120) & CO (all -30, two best -15) the scores on 5.02.19.2221 were similar to stock 4.11.15.342 and killing all the extra applications/processes (razer, hwinfo, intell driver assistant, etc.) almost didn't affect the result - on 4.11.15.342 quitting all these apps helps to gain extra 250 points (up to ~15388).

Windows 11 with latest patches boots to blank screen with no login or cursor. I have 3900x and nvidia 1660 super. Had to revert back to amd chipset driver 3.10 from Gigabyte site for my B550AX board.

Apparently, only the BIOS that has AGESA 1.2.0.3 works for AMD
..
anything above or below is something terrible

F23 for Z690's has been released today
they seem to have changed the boot logo

anyone getting this on boot?

I logged into the forum to find out if I was the only one with the bigger logo, keeping the UEFI mode
I'd say it's Gigabyte's choice

I've been using F9C for about a week and have not had a single crash yet. My ethernet port still doesn't work but otherwise this seems like a pretty stable release.

Have you tried to unplug the power cord leave it out for 1min and plug it back in. I have a Intel 11gen that I have to do it with. You can try it doing that fix on Reddit.

Took me 2 reboots to encounter the first BSOD with X670E Master F9c BIOS. I am really getting pissed at this point. Yea I know this one is actually beta but F8 doesnt work any better for me either. AM5 is just an unfinished platform EVEN 5 months after release.

AM4 is still not finished, either.

I am on a BIOS from 2021. Every subsequent version has been less stable. USB issues are still not 100% fixed.

I am currently testing the newly released Version F9C for X670E AORUS MASTER. While the notes only specify support for new CPUs I hope the increased AGESA version or something else improves the spotty and crashing memory stability.

I am note 100%,since I'd have to test that but I can definitely tell you that I have that exact problem you describe since I put M.2 in all of the 4 slots. So it must has something to do with m2 drives. My system has like a 20% chance to boot without problems but most of the time it boots and everything takes an freaking eternity. Like it is not totally unresponsive but my inputs take like 10 seconds, no joke. Or the bios screen in general.. It takes 3 minutes until it dissappears and windows is actually loading
Weirdly though this problem will be gone when I power my pc on the first time, shut it off again and power it on again. It's only the very first boot of the day where I have that problem you describe. But i am 99% this is an issue for all x670e master owner since I do have it and I do have an M.2 in the other slot(s)

I'm still having the same issue after all this time, even on the newest F9c bios version. I do have 3 NVME drives & 2 of them connected to the chipset. First thought it was my RAM and even ended up trying a different kit but same issue persists. Also ended up swapping a WD850X drive to a Samsung 990 Pro because I thought it was causing the issues but nope.

Please, fix this. Ridiculous issues for a 600€ motherboard.

X670E AORUS Master - F9c does still have the same old memory issues causing freezes during boot and while running.
