Turned out that “solution” provided by GIGABYTE support isn’t effective (recording works right after Windows booted up and breaks few minutes later when I want to actually record something, even with totally all power-saving options disabled. I also installed fresh Windows 7 to see if it changes something, but nope, no difference) and after 3 weeks of mailing to them, they are still deaf to my requests to add PCI Subsystem Setting menu to new BIOS release or even look for this workaround that @ket said about. I only got brief answer from them “Thank you for additional information. We try to solve this issue ( if possible) in new BIOS relase.” and that was two weeks ago. I starting to lose hope that they will do something to fix this.
@ket I made screenshot of every page in BIOS (don’t worry that current version I have is F22e - CPU microcode update only). So if you could look if it’s possible to expose these options, I would be very grateful.
There are reports from users with X-Fi cards which were claiming that changing PCI Latency Timer default value 32 to higher 64 or even 96 resulted in dissappearance of issues like stuttering, sound cutting etc. Of course that was on motherboards with native PCI bus implementation (before Sandy Bridge and Z68 chipset era) and I’m really curious (and hopeful) about result on non-native PCI bus implementation, with 3rd party (ASMedia ASM1083) PCIe-to-PCI bridge chip in operation.
Anyone been able to stabilize Voltage on Aorus X370 Gaming-K5??? I’m on F4 BIOS currently doing some testing… I’ve tried F5a & F10 with no success… Specs are down below… Even if I set the voltage in BIOS or Ryzen Master it doesn’t stick… It keeps droping to ~0.400…
P.S. Any workaround for Win10 CFU forcing Core-Parking???
Sounds like you are using offset voltage which allows the CPU to reduce frequency and voltage when not under load. If I remember correctly simply setting the high performance power profile in windows will disable core parking.
Zitat von tyuper im Beitrag #384I should’ve been explain that earlier, my apologies.

I’m aware of the function it’s my fault for not clarifying what I meant, I was tired when I made the post. I was saying if you wanted the latency decreased its already at its lowest. Trying to edit the firmware is a no-go anyway sadly, every tool I have crashes when trying to save any changes. The whole structure of the firmware in fact is a complete mess I’m surprised the Gigabyte firmware works at all.
Thanks @Ket for the advice… That’s correct, the K5 uses Offset Voltage…I’ve tried and tried using the High Performance Profile without success… Ever since the Creators Fall Update (v1709) a ton of issues started messing everything up… (FYI…I HAVEN’T TRIED A CLEAN INSTALL…) Windows stutters all the time… Keyboard and Mouse USB receiver crash the USB ports sometimes too… I think its the F4 BIOS… With the F5a its not soo bad but I have to swap my RAM to slots 1+3 for better stability… SSD performance is haywire too… Might be the AMD Chipset Drivers that seem to install successfully when ever they feel like it… Right now as im typing… Chrome Canary is freezing up… Let me Flash the F5a BIOS and i’ll follow up where I left off ok… Thanks in advance… Gimme a minute…
UPDATE
HAS ANYONE BEEN GETTING THESE ODD INCONSISTENCIES??? RAM NOT RECOGNIZED CORRECTLY… [[File:Screenshot (851).png|left|auto]][[File:Screenshot (852).png|left|auto]][[File:Screenshot (853).png|left|auto]][[File:Screenshot (854).png|left|auto]][[File:Screenshot (855).png|left|auto]][[File:Screenshot (858).png|left|auto]][[File:Screenshot (859).png|left|auto]]
It’s interesting you bring this up. Because, lately, I’ve been having a similar problem.
I’m aware that Gigabyte AM4 boards are known for having an issue, where devices plugged into the front USB connectors can randomly disconnect. (Supposedly this was fixed in the K7 F10 BIOS? I haven’t been able to test it yet.)
But during the past week or so, I’m suddenly getting random device disconnects from the rear USB ports. Which never happened before.
So I’ll lose the ability to use my mouse and keyboard, for example. Usually they disconnect for only a few seconds, and then reconnect. But once they disconnected and did not reconnect at all, requiring a hard reset to restore them.
I don’t think it’s the board itself (Gigabyte Gaming K7) that’s developed a problem. It’s probably a Windows 10 update (I’m on Version 1709, the Fall Creators update with all Windows updates applied), AMD’s chipset drivers (I recently installed the latest, 17.40 dated 1/16/2018), or a bug in the F10 BIOS. The problem is narrowing it down to find out which one is responsible.
It seems that Microsoft’s USB host controller driver in Windows 10 is resetting or crashing, every time I experience a USB disconnect. I’m seeing reports like this in the Event Viewer:
Thanks for posting that server, it’s a gold mine, wanted to get one of the old Haswell all core turbo bios that are not available anymore on the gigabyte site
Just sell it! in the end you will free your self from headaches with this very poor motherboard, no amount of bios tweaking is going to make this board any better its just a crock of shit with physical hardware faults in the soundcard and power delivery. if you bought it from amazon just return it they will give you your money back.
Anyone else find it highly strange Gigabyte feel the need to jump from F10 to F20 for that update?
EDIT: Delayed thought to save me having to connect up my Gaming 5 again can anyone test if the 2400 and 2666 memory dividers are still broken? Preferably testing with a set of G.Skill memory.
For my ram corsair plx 3200 hynix, can’t boot at 3200 like in the f10, in f9 work ok… i’ll try in manual… Pd. Nothingto do, drop mem to 3066 16 18 18 to stable. The cpu at 37.75 with 1.28 vol. The next week more…
Super weird on my taichi my corsair RGB rams at 3333MHz 16,14,12,12,1T @ 21.2 GB/s 59ns latency, memtest passed no issues. now 3333MHz is the sweet spot for ram on ryzen, you can clamp those sub timings right down for super performance. the board will boot and run at 3600 but its pointless. corsair ram should hit 3200 easy on any ryzen board, my rams XMP is 3466 and it runs perfect with its xmp, but i chose 3333MHz with much tighter timings the performance is actually better at 3333 than 3466 too, much better.
The new 4.40 UEFI Bios from asrock is unbelievable, the performance difference from v3.3 is just insane, on my stock cooler at 3.7GHz im getting 195 GFlops in intel burn test, so on water it will crack the 200 mark easy. my gaming 5 hit a wall at 188GFlops and the ram ran much slower at the same clock speeds, and it does all this with 7c lower temps, go figure.
make sure your rams in slots A2 and B2 if you have 2 modules otherwise you can actually damage your cpu itself, why gigabyte didnt put a leaflet in the box stating this is boyond me, its common knowledge amongst am4 platforms, but even then dont expect miracles from this POS motherboard, my mrs works at pc world and theyve already took this joker board off the shelves because of all the complaints.
Also with v4.40 bios the pcie bus still runs at pcie 3.0 even when a BCLK overclock is used.
I could come up with a totally kickass firmware for the Taichi having a nose at its firmware with a few of my tools but Asrock are probably the only company I don’t need to mod the firmware for because they are already doing a stellar job.
I thinking change the mobo. But I’ll wait April or May to the x470 chipset. If work fine with Ryzen 1, and save the problems with memos. I know that I can’t sold the gigabyte gaming 5 for more than 120 or 100 euros… I prefer forget it in the box. And the price of the memory is a madness. And don’t want sold the corsair to spend 250 euros for a kit compatible, when I buy the hynix kit was in the qvl… very bad for amd.
I have a bad experience with asrock some years ago, the 970 extreme r3 and the vrm with a fx8950. And here in Spain the rma with Asus come two or three moths to wait without the component.
Maybe taste Biostar in amazon… I don’t know. I must wait. I want too install hard tube in the loop, but if I’ll change the mobo…
Not any more, asrock are the number1 brand for amd and intel. that said ive got an old asrock 478 motherboard here been running nearly daily for over 10 years not a single problem with it. i use it for DOS gaming, so that in itself is a testament to their build quality.
and my asrock am1h-itx motherboard for my amd AM1 cpu, has been bloody great as well, the best board for AM1 by a mile.
The memory compatibility issues arent anything to do with AMD, they are to do with the motherboard vendors who cant be arsed to fix any problems. ive tried 4 different brands of ram on the taichi g.skill rgb, corsair vengeance rgb, geil and samsung, and they all work 100% perfect, even from the first bios release so gigabyte are just passing the blame on amd because theyre morons.
If you want a trouble free experience as of now the ONLY 2 ryzen boards i can recommend are the msi titanium and the asrock taichi, no exceptions.
unless you are runing 2x1080ti’s in sli i wouldnt bother with x470, or at least unless you buy a ryzen2 cpu to go with it.
Bang on, all the time ive wasted on the POS gigabyte isnt even funny. Asrock know what theyre doing theyre about the only mainboard manufacturer out there that does actually, im getting mental performance here, a very happy bunny. just goes to show all that motherboard rgb gimmick BS can be outperformed with a simple corsair lighting node pro kit. to be perfectly honest i think thats the only reason why people buy the gaming5 because of the lights. what people dont realise is soon as you fit a graphics card they get covered up anyway.
Asrock’s latest v4.40 bios is just incredible, ive never seen such a performance jump with a bios flash, bloody good boards these i tell ya.
i asked them to do me a bios to let my corsair xmp3466 ram run at its rated speed of well 3466, and they did it within 5 days. now the ram runs at 3600+
gigabyte to motherboards are the same as what this guy is to music:
