Is it possible to enable CAD_BUS (ClkDrv, AddrCmdDrv, CsOdtDrv, CkeDrv) options like on ASUS on these Gigabyte boards?
I donāt recall seeing anything like that I would need to check. If its possible they will be in the next round of UEFIs that useAGESA 1.0.0.7.
Its a bug exclusive to the Gaming 5 then, that shows even more the bug is just software as I highly doubt the gaming 5 uses different LEDs or anything like that it just would not make sense to do that on a board that has an identical PCB to the K7. We can chalk it up to pure laze from Gigabyte. Just awful, absolutely awful.

Those options are part of AMD CBS and are well hidden for some reason. This seems to be check that prevents options from displaying:

Suppress If Variable 0x6 Not equals 0x5
If i'm not mistaken, below is a setting that basically hides itself by it's own variable. May be changing default from 1 to 5 we can unlock all options?

There's also bunch of other hidden options in same module too...

I donāt recall seeing anything like that I would need to check. If its possible they will be in the next round of UEFIs that useAGESA 1.0.0.7.
Those options are part of AMD CBS and are well hidden for some reason. This seems to be check that prevents options from displaying:
1
2
3

3
Suppress If Variable 0x6 Not equals 0x5
If i'm not mistaken, below is a setting that basically hides itself by it's own variable. May be changing default from 1 to 5 we can unlock all options?

This is where things start to get difficult with Gigabyte as they have not left the stock AMD AGESA code in tact as far as I've looked, instead opting to rip it apart, sloppily stick it back together introducing their own bugs as a result, then being too lazy to fix the bugs they have made themselves by trying to do something they don't have the intelligence to do properly. I know that must sound hard on Gigabyte but all of the things I've seen so far modding the Aorus UEFIs point to exactly that. For me to add options the Aorus UEFIs don't have I would need to start pulling individual modules around, replacing them or trying to modify them. It would be very time consuming to do and I might not be able to do it as the tools I have to modify the UEFI are limited, if you have tools that would allow me to open individual extracted modules to add to them I would certainly look in to the possibility of putting back in what Gigabyte have removed or completely rebuilding the UEFI using the stock AMD AGESA code.
Seems Asus is working on AGESA 1007 already: http://www.overclock.net/t/1624603/rog-crosshair-vi-overclocking-thread/28240#post_26391661
Letās hope this is the reason Gigabyte is so quiet at the moment.
AMD have completely changed the AGESA structure with 1.0.0.7 so lets hope Gigabyte are too lazy to stripmine it and just release a new UEFI built around it. Aorus boards might be half decent then. Might.
Just a random thought, would anyone have any use for a further updated Realtek audio driver (8264) or is everybody quite content with the 8224 driver?
Always better to have an update 
Alright Iāll knock something together but leave the 8224 driver available in case anyone gets a problem.
I tried building the 8264 driver and on a completely clean install the "failed to play test tone" error is back so the 8224 driver is what everyone wants to stick with. I doubt anyone has encountered any issues with the 8224 driver anyway
I donāt recall seeing anything like that I would need to check. If its possible they will be in the next round of UEFIs that useAGESA 1.0.0.7.
Iāve managed to unlock those settings (and many more) myself. I even wrote and fixed some tools to achieve this in the process .
Universal IFR Extractor updated, and other new unreleased tool written that allows to export IFR data from sct to XML and import edited XML back to sct file).
Thereās my results: AX370GamingK7.F7B2.zip

Those are some interesting results indeed. Why Gigabyte or AMD for that matter would bury those options so deeply I donāt know but I would suspect just because people who would need those options are in the extreme minority. The good news however is that those options can be bought back, and from what one Gigabyte user has contacted and told me about it seems like Gigabyte might actually be starting to get off their high ignorant / arrogant horse and listen, albeit under duress it would seem but none the less actually starting to listen and very slowly starting to do something about the dire state of the firmware with their AM4 boards. To what extent they will go to in order to rectify it is anyones guess right now but with AMD completely changing AGESA 1.0.0.7 I would say its the perfect opportunity for Gigabyte to make a completely new start with their AM4 firmware and get it right this time. For the first time in 6+ months there is a glimmer of hope for all the poor bastards that made the mistake of buying a Gigabyte AM4 board.
My time (and tools) are limited but if you would like to further extend the work I do with these modified UEFIs you are most welcome to. PM me download links when they are done and I will add them to the first post
Is P-States enabled for Gaming 3? What concerns me is that things like that you enable could cause a failure with the board, as on Gigabyte thread they stated that B350 boards canāt support P-States, also they said that first they make BIOS for their highest end board, then remove features and make the BIOS for lower end mobos hence why you can see all those hidden configs.
From Matt in the Gigabyte Forum: Mid/End of November for new AGESA. From what I hear they are going to call it 1070 not 1007 - Donāt ask me why.
So guess not too long anymore.
Not that I have much time either. But iāve had even more interesting results today. Iāve found how to unlock AMD CBS and AMD PBS menus on biosāes that donāt have those menus out of the box. The key is AMITSE module (Section_PE32_image_B1DA0ADF_4F77_4070_A88E_BFFE1C60529A_AMITSE). It has a table of GUIDās inside and overwriting those guids with zeros make AMD CBS and AMD PBS menus to appear under āPeripheralsā tab.
For example F7B bios already have one of the GUIDs removed by Gigabyte to allow AMD CBS for Custom PStates (they have hidded all options but Custom PStates on that bios in CbsSetupDxe module though).
All other biosāes have CbsSetupDxe options unlocked, just no way to access those menus by hiding entry menus (AMD CBS, AMD PBS) with GUIDās.
For those who have no idea what iām talking about, all that means that those poor guys with low end boards now should be able to unlock lots of new options in theirs biosāes including PStates and much moreā¦

AX370GamingK7_F7A_MOD
Since F7A and F7B are essentially the same, i've made my mod based on F7A as it's much easier to mod due to already unlocked options in CbsSetupDxe, unlike in F7B where only Custom PStates is unlocked. The only changes are new unlocked menus AMD CBS and AMD PBS under 'Peripherals' tab.
It can't be flashed with QFlash since I have no idea how to fix checksum. Someone teach me. Meanwhile use MFLASH.

That is great work. When I have a little time I will certainly do some poking around. To remove the Q-Flash block with modified UEFIs open the file in something like HxD and search for $BDR. A little below this position you will see a long string of hexadecimal 0s ending in "50" (or 40) followed by "01" "04" "01", change the last "01" to "00" and thats it. The Q-Flash block is now removed :D
Mid-End November is still a fairly long wait but perhaps it is where Gigabyte are actually doing a competent job this time with the new UEFI based around 1.0.0.7 (until I see it, I wonāt refer to the AGESA as 1070 because it is very strange to go from 1.0.0.6 suddenly to 1070). I doubt anyone has a problem waiting a bit longer for something if the extra time required actually translates in to something worth the wait.
As far as Iām aware plenty of B350 boards if not all of them have P-State overclocking options or the ability to support them at least. The babble coming from Gigabyte about P-State options surviving a CMOS reset I am inclined to think is exclusively a problem they are having as none of my contacts or anything around forums I look at have said anything about such issues so I would strongly suspect it is something only Gigabyte are having problems with and the rest of the speil is just to make themselves feel better and to try and quiet down anyone who doesnāt know any better. The other X370 boards I have also have never had any major P-State issues even pre AGESA 1.0.0.4.
Just a little tidbit I thought some of us around here might find interesting. It looks like by reading the latest posts in that Gigabyte thread I linked to that Gigabytes cage has been rattled and they are starting to do something even Gigabyte Matt has come back out of his cave so keep up your complaining guys in that thread as it does look to be working. Anyone with a Gigabyte board deserves a UEFI at least as functional and competent as what all the other manufacturers are providing donāt let Gigabyte get away with half arsing things.
Added experimental UEFIs for Gaming K7 and Gaming 5, see post #2
So regarding the Opcache Controlā¦ It has 3 optionsā¦ Enabled, Disabled, or Auto.
My question is, which of these options forces opcache to stay on, and which one forces it off?
As you probably know, the linux bug with opcache is somewhat annoying and can cause the compiler to crash - although since trying to replicate the crashes now I got my butt into gear to contact AMD for an RMA, I canāt get the CPU to cause a segfault.
Previously, it used to segfault gcc in under 10 minutesā¦ Now its been running for 34 minutes with no issuesā¦
