So ive been running my 2700x in my taichi x370 board for a while now, and its running faster than in my x470! so my advice is dont bother with x470 at all, everything xfr2 and precision boost 2/storeMI work 100%
I have one question regarding the chipset drivers for the GA-AB350 Gaming 3: On Gigabytes drivers site they offer version [17.40.RC30] while on AMDs website there is already a 18.10. The release date of the 17.40 version on Gigabytes Website is newer (04-26) than the one on AMDs Website (04-19) though. Now which driver should be used?
AMD is showing chipset driver package v18.10.041(4/19/2018). Just get them from AMD, i never have any problems. Motherboard driver packages contain loads of stuff and was probably updated with 1 new driver so they upped the version number.
Hello Friend, I have a serious problem with the BIOS of my motherboard GA-AX370 GAMING 5 the F23f, which gives real support to the Ryzen 2000, the problem is that it does not recognize my EVGA GTX 780, in the debug area the LED corresponding to the VGA remains on but the GPU works normally on other computers, So I decided to change my CPU 2600 for a 1700X and the computer worked completely well, the VGA LED never stayed on and I could even start Windows and Play, the curious thing came later, when I changed back to the Ryzen 2600 as I had problems to recognize my GPU again. out of curiosity I changed the GTX 780 for a GT 210 and with this last one it didnāt give me any problems being able to get back into Windows so I suspect that all this problem has its origin in the BIOS. I am very grateful for any help, I am desperate to use my equipment again because the Ryzen 1700X is not mine but a friendās. I donāt know much about English so I used a translator so Iām sorry for any inconsistencies.
Have you done a full CMOS reset? (remove power cord, battery, set CMOS jumper to "clear" position). GB have a lot of firmware issues, some I can fix, some I canāt, others I wonāt to try and add some peer pressure on GB to do their job properly.
Always get drivers direct from the source, ie; AMD chipset, get the drivers from AMD.com 
Well noted, Thank you.
And please donāt drop support for the GA-AB350 Gaming 3, I would really like to get the Ryzen 5 2600x running smoothly on that board. Right now I put in my 1600 again because I continuously got RAM related BSODs (even on 2133 mhz) with the BIIOS version F23d from Gigabyte and also with the F22bM-D one from this thread when I put in the 2600X. I use the Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3600C18 (Samsung B-Die). I tried with XMP off, 1.35V on 2133 MHZ with stock timings and still got BSODs. I also tried manually settings all timings, using the Ryzen DRAM Calculator and "safe settings" preset without success. Also I noticed that the temperature readings arenāt working properly on the F22bM-D BIOS from this thread with the 2600x put in, it pretty much shows 0Ā°C most of the time.
The Ram works perfectly fine with XMP on and 3200 MHZ with the Ryzen 5 1600. (Running the modded "most stable" BIOS from this thread version F9dM)
nice, they work fine on the GA-AB350 Gaming 3
Iāll check the driver. All 8447 packages Iāve seen so far are extremely incomplete but that package looks like it might be a complete one.
Gigagbyte released the 8447 driver as well now btw.
Hi all, i come back after two month too tell, that i can change finally the mobo, the cpu, psu and ram. The seller refound all the money to change it.
Now i have a 1800x, a strix-f 370, 16 gb trydent z 3600 cl14 and evga g3 750w.
Its another world, i can 3400 cl14, 40.50 in cpu. Cinebench jump to 1871. With 65Ā° max.
And of course 0 problems. I never imagine that gigabyte dropped the quality like now with the x370 plataform. And dont be sure that my old ram cause that broken the 5 mobos and 3 cpu, in the store. This tell by the technicianā¦
@Ket, thanks again for the hours of your workā¦
ASRock and ASUS are in another league than gigabyte fella, gigabyte were once a top board manufacturer but now theyve declined to "piss poor" standards, and nothing will ever work properly on them, you are very lucky that board didnt destroy or damage your processor, they are well known for that.
Anyhoo,
I dropped my 2700x into my taichi x370, the whole machine has gone from rocket speed to light speed and i aint joking, the taichi x370 runs faster than my x470 version, but thats just bios maturity at play, asrock are shit hot on bios releases. This thing destroys my 8700k, in fact im putting it on ebay next week because the 2700x is showing how computing should be done, the new agesa from asrock enables every feature of the x470 taichi XFR2, precision boost 2 and senseMI all work 100% perfect not one single issue whatsoever, i feel ket deserves to be knighted by the queen for putting up with this board.
You dont even need to overclock the 2700x in an x370 board, its stock clock is 3.7 and boosts all cores itself up to 4.3GHz, all my games have seen at least a 15fps increase and thats on an old hd 7870 2gb, my brother just gave me a gtx680 that has an alphacool waterblock, the 680 is roughly 11fps faster in games than an overclocked 7870 so im well chuffed, that card is all i will ever need, it doesnt bother me too much that it doesnt have a uefi bios, although i will ask around on this forum if this is possible to flash one.
Thank you very much for your answer and yes, but unfortunately nothing I have done has worked. I researched a little and it seems that this problem is not new since it has been happening continuously in Gigabyte for years, it seems that the BIOS doesnāt recognize correctly the GPUs with BIOS GOP, it makes sense for me because my GTX 780 has one of these BIOS and that would explain why my GT 210 doesnāt have this type of BIOS if it starts in a normal way. I also tried to apply some possible solutions in these situations but it has not given good results either and I donāt want to go any further for fear of damaging the motherboard.
I can poke around the firmware a bit and see if I can find anything that might at least enable the 780 to be usable. Not using GOP and only using the card in legacy mode might be the only solution here.
Well noted, Thank you.

Hey @peace_of_mindā¦
Have you tried setting a higher DRAM VOLTAGE??? Or seeing the DRAM VOLTAGE manually to 1.35v??? Also, which version of the Ryzen DRAM Calculator are you using??? The latest??? Could I suggest wiping the UEFI/BIOS Completely on your boardā¦ I had a similar issue with my Ryzen R5 1600 + AORUS-AX370-K5ā¦ @ket suggested the wipe to me and it did the trickā¦ Then re-flashed his modded firmware with success!!! Temps back to normal along with a few more issues were correctedā¦ BTWā¦ Could u post a screenshot of your UEFI DRAM TIMINGS pleaseā¦
F22bM-D is the latest modded firmware that works on my boardā¦ F23 hasnāt worked in my caseā¦ Lastlyā¦ Have you checked your boards RAM MEMORY QVL List to see if yours are listedā¦ GB has really screwed the pooch with RAM COMPARABILITYā¦
Well noted, Thank you.

Manually setting 1.35 (already tried)
Setting Higher Voltage (1.38V) (already tried)
I used Ryzen DRAM Calculator 1.2 from this thread
Wiping UEFI/BIOS: Tried multiple times, even put out the battery and disconnected from power for 48 hours
I did check the QVL. In the earlier BIOS versions my RAM is included and specified to work at 3200 mhz (which works fine on the modded stable BIOS for my board). For the newer BIOS versions, which bring support for ZEN+ (Ryzen 2600x), it is not included anymore.
Yep agreed, the only benefit to a uefi bios in a graphics card i can see is a 1 second reduction in boot times
@ket i must be mad mate, after all the trouble i had with the gaming5, ive just bought a gaming7 wifi x470 board for gaming only purposes, and theres only ONE reason why i bought it, it has a socketed bios chip!
Lets see how long this one lasts eh.
Iāve been away for a while, and I upgraded to 2700X.
Kept the same board (AX370-Gaming K7) and memory kit (4x8GB G.Skill TridentZ F4-3200C16Q-32GTZ - Samsung D-Die)
Iām using the latest ketās modified firmware (F23f) and itās working well. CPU is overclocked to 4.2Ghz, and memory runs at 3200Mhz - XMP is working fineā¦
Settings Iām using (what I changed from Default):
Multi: 42X
Vcore: 1.31850v
VSoC: 1.10v
Vcore Loadline Calibration: Turbo
Vcore SoC: High
XMP Enabled
Geardown Mode: OFF (CR2) - ON works as well - difference is that with ON bandwidth is slightly higher, and with OFF latency is slightly lower. Iād go with latency.
Everything else on AUTO.
The main difference between Ketās and GBās firmware is that Ket actually fixed CSM setting, adding Windows 10 WHQL setting, which completely turns off CSM, allowing SecureBoot to work.
AMD SVM in Ketās firmware setting has a typo - Virtulisation - only cosmetic though.
My 1800X is a poor overclocker - 3.9Ghz @1.38750v is the maximum attainable oveclocked frequency.
My memory kit worked well though.
Thatās it for now. Iāll keep an eye on this thread once in a while. Good job and thank you for your efforts so far in fixing GBās half-assed firmwares.
my 2700x cpu is dead, it just randomly shut down and wouldnt power up again showing debug code 07 on three different motherboards, rma is in process and will receive a new one within 7 days. the x470 gaming7 wifi i just bought is a beautiful looking board
Although i mentioned the 2700x will work ok in an x370 board i would now strongly recommend against doing this, the x470 is designed for ryzen+ for a reason it seems.
If your cpu survives the first month thats the real test, after this its safe to say all will be well for years.
theres really no need to overclock a 2700x in an x470 board it does eveything itself and with better results, on water fully overclocks itself to 4.3ghz, there are are settings on x470 bios that dont exist on any x370 board, including ultra fine tuning of xfr2 and precision boost2 and massive memory timing improvements, also now memory defaults to 2933 instead of 2133, so with that said i would only ever use 3466 or 3600 ram on x470 to get the full benefit, only 4 bios revisions have been released so far, all this is looking very promising indeed, im a happy bunny now, with all the complaints about gigabytes previous gen joker boards, it seems the company has actually taken action at last.
the gigabyte x470 gaming 7 wifi is everything the gaming5 x370 isnt, sleek, fast and bloody beautiful, every part of the board can have its leds changed digitally and individually, also backward compatible with standard analog 4 pin led strips/fans, it also has bloody amazing memory performance knocking spots off any x370, includes a end user replaceable bios chip, which is an absolute must with ryzen, in fact i would consider this the most important feature and would now never buy a motherboard without it. theres so much on this board there wasnt even enough room to fit a simple power button, its on the led illuminated built in io shield, the uefi fan controls are now also absolutely perfect, basically these boards are an upgraded and superior version of the gigabyte x370 gaming k7, with much better memory, led and io support. better in every way basically, it even feels like a quality product with metal backplate on the rear of the board for stability, its also unusually heavy and has proper finned heatsink assemblies around the vrm sections, that drops the temps 15c lower than any asus board.
This is ideal in my situation, as my thermaltake tower900 case has a centrally mounted 140mm fan pushing cold air upwards all over the motherboard at all times, it runs at just 700rpm so its totally silent when the glass doors are closed, i even love how the debug readout is now under the memory slots, in the tower 900 case this means the readout is showing the correct orientation not sideways.
The gaming 7 wifi also has various vcore 12,5 and 3.3v voltage test points for a multimeter right above the cpu socket, they really have thought of everything, i cannot believe they made a board this good after churning out those fucking awful gaming 5, k5 and k7ās, its almost as if another company has built it, even the pcb itself is really thick and strong, no flex whatsoever, it just feels and looks like a quality product. The large rear metal stability bracket is genius, ive fitted thermal pads under it cooling the vrms and cpu socket area even further shaving off yet another 7 degrees of load temps, on the back of the motherboard in my tower900 case on the back panel there are two slow running 140mm fans blowing directly over the rear heatsink, god i love this case is so bloody good, you literally have 360 degree cooling, corsair could learn a thing or two from the tower900, gpu sag can never happen for starters!
Im now running my corsair vengeance rgb xmp 3466 cas 16,18,18 ram at 3520MHz cas 14,13,10,11,1t & 53.3 Ohm resistance, memtest reports 49.70 ms latency, and 25.02 GBs bandwidth, what an incredible increase! all these small improvements really do add up
At last gigabyte have made a decent board, after all the upset and stress the gaming5 caused me i was seriously getting put off to buy the gaming 7 x470, im so glad i did now though, its the number 1 board for x470 now in my books, but the taichi remains the best x370 board, no other even comes close here for x370 it is an absolute beast of a performer.
I know ive done nothing but rip on gigabyte on this forum and all this may seem a bit hypocritical, but i had every reason to, after all none of the other gigabyte boards even work properly and have various faults, this new revision chipset is just stellar and everythings fixed with the added bonus of extra performance and an absolutely beautiful led implementation, far better than any of the competition.
This board is a whole 100 pounds cheaper than asusās flagship board and ill be perfectly honest, the asus does nothing for me at all it just looks bland and unappealing, thats a serious price difference and considering what you get with the gaming7 its a no brainer, i have had a play on asusās flagship x470 board, cant say im keen on it at all, its boring.
hey - thank you in advance
could you please mod
GA-AX370-Gaming-3 BIOS F23d?
i would love to have VCore and LLC 
Not a typo, Iām british we spell it with an "s" 
I mean itās missing an āaā for Virtualisation.
