Update AMD AGESA 1.2.0.7 for adding Vermeer and Cezanne processors support
Supports Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor
@ket Any chance you could take a peek and see if there’s potential for modding improvement (or just any relevant info to be gleaned?)
(Also, I’m thrilled that Level1Techs came to the rescue to save this amazing forum! I was extremely sad to think of this huge knowledge base and community just fading away.)
@spurdy I’d have to have a look and see if the tools I have are compatible with the latest firmwares but assuming they are I’d be able to give them the same makeover as in the past. Kinda a shock to the system though seeing the new winraid look feels like reddit
Modern gigabyte are all show and no go, they fill their boards with RGB bullshit and bling, but when it comes to actually being stable and reliable, well theyre bloody terrible.
In a nutshell theyre Shite, hence their new nickname ‘Gigashite’
It says a lot when budget board makers like biostar are much better,
so far out of the 4 AMD Gigabyte boards ive owned, The Gaming7 WiFi is the ONLY one i can recommend, all the rest are piss poor.
I have one of these dead at home, it seems it had pretty common bug with memory error…its also reason why I stopped buying Gigabyte, after a horrible experience with their support
@Branko Gigablows have made horrible boards for years now, don’t buy into anyone saying how good the boards are because unless you are buying their very top end boards you’re just buying garbage the firmwares are copy/paste with minor changes at best and nothing more. Asrock have also fallen a long way if I’m perfectly honest right now pick up an Asus or if you really have to an MSI. Just don’t be buying any X670 or B650 boards given the absurd prices being charged for them they are all trash wait for the second gen of AM5 boards at which time hopefully the board manufacturers would have come back to their senses and started charging sensible prices again.
(Yeah yeah, necro-sorry-something-something, but this thread and ket’s work has been amazing!)
Ok, I couldn’t help myself and grabbed a 5800X3D as the final CPU upgrade for my X370-based build.
Running the latest “Christmas Day” F51n release for the Gaming K7.
@ket Any chance you’re willing to dust off your 300-series AM4 Gigabyte BIOS modding hat for one last commission? Dealing with Gigabyte’s organization/design sloppypasta hackjob is making my eyelid twitch.
Plus, if there’s any way to (re-)expose Curve Optimizer settings that’d be handy. I’d rather have them set in BIOS instead of running PBO2 Tuner on a scheduled task at Windows bootup. (not sure if this is possible, or if it’s entirely gated by AGESA depending on the CPU installed)
PS- First time I’ve had 3 CPUs over the course of one build (1800X → 3900X → 5800X3D). Pretty cool to be able to drop a 2022 CPU into a 2017 motherboard.
@spurdy I’d have to see if my tools still work. AFAIK the firmwares started being encapsulated a different way and my tools wouldn’t extract them properly.
