Oh ill let you know fella, as far as cpu overclocking is concerned the x370 taichi and x480 taichi are identical, unfortunately x470 and ryzen2 do not support windows7, and i love 7! i use that os for older games and such, its awesome as you know.
the x370 taichi with ryzen1700 fully supports win7 pro.
Great news for x370 taichi owners, ASRock have just posted 2 new bios updates for us to play around with, version v4.64 beta, and v4.70 final with agesa 1.2a
Does this method work for all SSDs? What does it actually do? Is overprovisioning even necessary?
Oh youve got me all wrong, im not talking about overprovisioning i mean secure erase
Oh, OK, I thought you meant that with "keep it fresh". Why would you need to secure erase your drive so often? Iād think only once when you decide to sell it.
I realized last night that, now that my optical drive cage is out, I can install the H100i at the front of the case (as an intake) above my hard drive cage, with the two 120mm fans in pull configuration, and the installed 200mm will then also assist a little in pushing air to the lower half of the radiator. Then Iāll install the two 140mm fans I have lying around at the top as exhausts. That should improve my temperatures, especially when my graphics card is also being used (itās not a blower style). My graphics card also runs quite cool, so it should be able to handle slightly higher temperatures inside the case.
I always do a secure erase before re-imaging, it cleans up unwanted garbage from the drive. i use a small linux distro on usb drive to do it, just so ive got a fresh drive really.
Hello guys,
A new BIOS is up for Gaming 5 https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-ā¦v-10#support-dl or is it the same we have here???
F23f (seems to be newer).
Yes but GB doesnt give the call its here a ānew biosā thats does this and here u should get some info
But GB wants to keep it a surprise yeeha 1 bug fixed 5 new (or should i say 5 old ones replaced for your discomfort)
Well i will see after the weekend whats new on this F23f
Fucking awful arent they, asrock are now making graphics cards btw and ive heard real good things about them. this will be my next gfx card https://www.asrock.com/Graphics-Card/AMDā¦ex.asp#Download
I wonāt be getting an ASRock unfortunately, as theyāre out of stock everywhere in my city and I canāt wait for amazon/newegg to ship me a new moboā¦ downtime is the worst!
Iām able to pick up a Crosshair VI tomorrow though, so at least Iāll have one of the two mobos that are universally considered the "best"! (taichi and crosshair)
RE: the GPU, 580 is a pretty sweet card if youāre playing at 1080p. Above that it starts to lag behind a bit.
I tried one before i ended up getting the 1080ti, and the FPS on my 1440p monitor didnāt satisfy.
ASRock are pretty sweet though, personally I hope that XFX gets into the motherboard game so thereās more competition!
Mate anythings better than gigabyte, never known any other board as bad as them. im not a gamer so a 1080ti will be overkill for me only got about 5 games installed
Donāt speak so soon Iām (or was) modding a firmware gor the GT7 based on AGESA 1002a, system felt a bit off so I did an AIDA64 bench, Biostar nerfed something bad in the latest update just look at these results
@ket Take Aida64 results with a pinch of salt fella, theyre not accurate at all on x370, just done a sweep of memtest and my rams running at 56.3ns latency and 32.5 GB/s bandwidth, aida has issues with x370 and they still havent fixed them.
Havenāt looked at it in detail yet but at a glance theres nothing significant thats changed. Most likely same crap, different filename but Iāll look closer in a couple days.
Well iām pleased to report the x470 taichi is every bit as good as the x370 in every way possible, once again asrock have delivered a top motherboard, just a bit bummed that win7 wont work on ryzen2, apart from that itās truly excellent.
Overclocked 2700x to 4.12Ghz on a cheap deepcool air cooler, rams whizzing along at 3600Mhz cas 14,14,14. so in a nutshell if you havent bought a ryzen board yet get either of lthe taichi boards, if you already own the x370 dont bother unless you have a 2700x as well.
hello!
just found this thread about your bios mods, I have the X370 Gaming K3. thanks for you work! too bad that you dropped the support for this board. Do I need a in-deph understanding of bios mods to mod future releases of my own? Or can I do this with the instructions here in the forum and a little help from google?
My only advice to you is the same as what everyone else will agree with is just sell the board, (most people here already have) this goes for all k series gigabyte boards because in all honesty you will never get it working correctly has to many problems.
besides the lack of p-state oc and the weak vrm cooling, it works "ok" for my ryzen 5 1600.
Oh dear oh dear, im hearing all sorts of horror stories with the gigabyte aorus x470 board, yes you guessed it, theyve learned absolutely nothing, the bios is just as bad. once again people are sucked in by the flashing lights.
TBH I blame the youtubers/websites reviewing Gigabyte X470 board , they all say is Top Quality board for X470, they say the board is well designed, lots of extras and that it works very well out of the box and better memory compatibility than most of the other brands.
This is exactly what I experienced with Gaming 5 X370, and the reason why I bought it in the first place. BIG MISTAKE!
I donāt know if the reviewers receive modified boards or what is happening, but they all say good things about Gigabyte.
Most reviewers are just clueless and have absolutely no idea how to properly test. So Iāll put to you a simple question; who would you rather trust a reviewer who just plonks in a few components then fires the system up to benchmark it or someone like me who has worked for Mushkin memory R&D in the past and thus knows how to test for bugs.
The reviewers havent got a clue because they dont actually buy the hardware or spend any meaningful time with it. these people are paid to say what they do.
@ket if it wasnt for you i would have sold my gaming 5 three days after i bought it, terrible terrible boards
Saying the GB boards have better memory compatibility alone shows just how little reviewers actually know. They make blanket statements based on extremely limited testing time that many people stupidly take as gospel. Take it from somebody who has actually tested thoroughly boards from Asrock, Asus, MSI, Biostar and Gigabyte, memory compatibilty in order from best to worst is; Asrock > Asus (Asus might be 1st, its a tight one here) > Biostar > Gigabyte > MSI. At first glance the GB boards might seem to have good memory compatibility but that is really not the case. I place GB almost last here because with my test kit of Samsung B-Die RipjawsV the system absolutely refuses to POST with the 2400MHz memory divider when XMP is enabled while literally every other board works perfectly from lowest to highest (highest being the XMP rated speed - 3200MHz) memory divider. MSI I place last as memory overclocking on the Titanium was a chore and a nightmare when I tested it. I know the latest firmware for MSI boards improves memory compatibility so MSI might have overtaken GB here as well. Easiest out of the box memory overclocking came with the X370-F up and running at 3466MHz with nothing more than a divider change the other boards can only muster 3333MHz before you have a fight on your hands.
Modified F23f is up for the Gaming 5. I changed a few things for fast boot let me know if all the options display still.
for 3466mhz xmp ram on the taichi i would highly recommend setting the memory impedance to 53.3 ohms, got mine at 14,12,10,11 1T the corsair rgb ram that is, you will notice you might need to do two save and exits in the bios for the setting to fully load.
And whatever you do never use CPU-ID or (CPU-Z) on any ryzen board, the displayed LLC voltages are all wrong, for my taichi x370 i use the app from asrock (A-Tuning utility) it has direct contact with the motherboard giving spot on accuracy of voltage readings. one thing i admire about asrock, they dont fill their software full of useless bloatware.
okay i have a pretty dumb question but is it possible to replace rgb fusion with aura sync? or somehow spoof the motherboard to an asus x370 motherboard and re-route the commands ?
