[OFFER] Gigabyte GA-AX370-Aorus Gaming 5 BIOS mod

Ket,

Have the latest bios mod for the AX370 K-3 and cannot set the VSoC to 1.1v or just don’t know how. When I type in Turbo I get increments that only go up in voltage for VSoC and not towards the negative (lower) voltage. The board is running good, but concerned about heat related issues. If the bios is OK it seems counter intuitive to me. Care to help a old geezer again??

Thanks,

MAK



Ah right gotcha, I’ll make sure thats fixed for the next release.



Sounds like you are confusing CPU LLC and vSoC :wink: CPU LLC has various completely dumb setting names, "Turbo" being one of them. VSoC is good old fashioned voltage entries only. Theres two ways to adjust vSoC, the constant voltage way, or offset voltage way. Before you can start adjusting vSoC you’ll have a "Normal" option, just skip on by that by pressing the "+" key, keep pressing that key to adjust vSoC voltage. You’ll probably find adjusting vSoC the constant voltage method better for stability.

Hi, so I finally received my X470 Taichi, and have been running it for about 2 weeks now. Overall I find it OK, some of the positions for fan and LED headers could have been better, but I have one very irritating issue:

Every once in a while one of my fans gets stuck at 100% speed. It is always the same fan. The fan is completely controllable inside the BIOS, but as soon as you get past the POST screen, it gets maxed out again. Most of the time I can fix it by resetting the BIOS to defaults, but a few days ago even that didn’t help. I updated the BIOS to the newest beta version (1.35A), but this morning it again did the same. I really can’t see what is causing this. The other fan that is set up identically is performing as it is set up, so I don’t think it is temperature related… Any suggestions will be appreciated!

I will try to contact ASrock support tonight when I can look up the serial number of the board. Sorry that this is not related to the Gigabyte BIOS, but I remembered that some of you have a lot of experience with motherboards in general, and also ASrock specifically.

I also have an issue with Windows 10 freezing randomly while on the desktop, not during gaming yet. I have tested the RAM with Windows Memory Diagnostic, reinstalled Windows 10 (spring creators update, with all updates installed that were supposed to fix issues it had at the beginning), set all CPU and RAM clocks to default speeds and also the voltages. I am running out of ideas what to check. It started roughly around the time I updated to Spring Creators update, so I thought it was related to that. The messages in the event viewer are also not very descriptive, but I keep checking and investigating them after every time it happens again. Thanks for any advice on this topic too!


Hey @Mach5… Windows 10 Spring Update caused me a ton of headaches right from the start!!! Have you checked Event Viewer yet??? You should take a look at any & all errors that might be listed repeatedly… Did you install any of the ASRock Apps??? Latest Chipset drivers from AMD Support Site that are meant for Spring 2018 Update… Could you add your complete hardware setup as well, please… Thanks in advance bro… I’ll help you as much as I can with what I’ve learned from my case with Spring Update ok…

@ket

first of all i want to thank you that you do GBs job
if you have patreon i would buy you a beer :wink:

but can you please mod Bios F23d for GA-AX370-Gaming-3 // http://download.gigabyte.eu/FileList/BIO…aming3_f23d.zip
because F22 has a pretty bad DDR4 support for Ryzen 2XXX CPUs

would be great :wink:

ps have a nice WorldCup



Hey @JSebastian

I added my specs to my signature as you suggested.

Regarding the fan speed issue, I have my doubts it is Windows-related, as it also happened last night when I booted into Memtest86. The seller said I can send it to them and if they also have the same issue, then they will send mine to be replaced/repaired and send me a new one. I also contacted ASRock directly a few minutes ago, so will see what they say before I send it away.

Regarding Windows 10 freezing: Almost every time it freezes, I go into the Event Viewer and try to find something that might have caused it. So far nothing I tried to address in there has made a difference. At this moment I don’t remember exactly which messages I saw though. I tried all the newest drivers, as well as reverting to older ones. I did try the ASRock A-Tuning software when I tried to change fan speeds from within Windows. I also tried Polychrome to change the RGB settings. But all of those I never installed them again after I reinstalled Windows 10. At the moment I removed one of my sticks of RAM, tested that with Memtest86 (passed without errors), and will keep it that way for a few days to see if it freezes again. Then I will do the same with the other stick. Maybe I can see if one stick is faulty, or if it is maybe a RAM slot issue. Oh, and I did install all the Windows 10 updates that were supposed to fix the initial issues that came with Spring Creator’s Update.

Thanks for any further suggestions!

Are you running AIDA64, because that program randomly ramps fans up to full speed for no reason.

@ket any idea where the "RELAXED THROTTLING" setting is on gigabyte boards, on my asrock it was in CBS/NBIO options



AIDA64 causes the fan ramping issue, especially cracked copies. and you have to remember the x470 boards are brand new, i would wait untill new firmware revisions have been released, cant even find "relaxed throttling" setting on my x470 gaming7 wifi



I never even knew AIDA64 could control fan speeds. But I’ve had this version for a while and never had fan speed issues, so I doubt it is the software. I do know it doesn’t quite support the motherboard as I do see incorrect readings in some places. The reason I doubt it is that the fan speed changes (sometimes, still seems to be random) even when I boot into something other than Windows, such as Memtest86, which should rule out any Windows/software/driver issues I believe…

At least I think I found what was causing my Windows to freeze. Must have been an issue with a RAM stick not making proper connection in a slot, as after removing and testing the sticks individually, everything seems to be working fine again.

I will wait to see if ASRock support responds, but the seller already said I can send it to them to test, and if they can confirm the issue, they will give me a new board.

Thanks for all the advice!

Aida 64 has a known issue with asrock am4 boards yes. it randomly ramps the fans up to 100% due to code collision.

asrock are very good, they will indeed give you a new board within a couple of days. just take note on the aida64 problem though, aida are working on an asrock fix

Well well well, my x470 gaming7 after only a couple of days use tried to brick itself tonight, damn, luckily i switched to bios number 2 and reflashed the original bios back. so it seems the same shit is happening on x470 too, as beautiful as this board is, i am back with gigabytes antics of piss poor uefi problems. its all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

Any hint if we ever gonna get the LLC settings for the Gaming k5, got jabaited buying this one cause the Gaming 5 was unavailable, rip… ty for you hard work

Never im afraid, ket is absolutely sick and tired of fixing these boards and rightly so i would be as well, my advice is sell and buy asrock.

Darn… Thank you

Adding options like LLC might not even work if I did, not to mention doing things like that would be very time consuming, far more so than I’m willing to put in. Also, as I still get asked about it, I don’t unlock P-States with these modded firmwares because GB keep breaking P-State overclocking so its just easier to not bother with it.

Thanks for the answer @ket , i’m pretty sure it is capable of handling LLc since all components seem to be present. Gigabyte just need to stop misleading people. Advertising Extreme overclock when it’s not even overclock friendly. Anyway I would like to thank you for the hard work once again making this mods. Have a nice day ,:v:



If that is the case then depending how GB have built the firmware simply replacing a module or two with UEFI Tool might do the job.

https://youtu.be/ZB7NG1PkGEQ based on this video it has the chip da regulates vdrop and LLc. Soo I actually thought it had LLc options. Gigabyte equiped it with good components.
