Can u get in BIOS from Windows advanced startup?

This is the first time I powered it on so no OS install yet

Might try installing OS anyways so you can get in. Maybe there's a setting like fast boot on that's not letting USB devices work.

I have issues with my Z97 doing the same thing sometimes. Keyboard won't work during the Del/F2 phase. Haven't had that problem on the TUF yet.

I was unable to install OS because of the issue. Turned out the issue was my NVMe SSD which was incompatible with the old BIOS. After updating the BIOS, everything worked fine.

That's great news ThumperSD.:thumb: I'm glad you got it sorted out.

Has anyone tried out a modded bios with enabled Spread Spectrum and/or PCH fan control and temp monitoring on the TUF board?

Hi @TonyDeez , seems like someone managed to create a modded version for the wifi version of the board, and they got the disable spread spectrum working:

I will be extracting my bios later today and Ill see if I can edit myself , however, I'm reluctant do do it myself.

Yeah, the tinfoil hat says ASUS just wants to add false value to their higher end boards. On the other hand, it is possible that the board lacks the EMI protection that the higher end boards do provide and thusly disabled spread spectrum for this board. As for the PCH fan control, it's mostly pointless unless the noise is really an issue. And even then, a hard-mod to the dinky chipset heatsink would be preferable. I have tried setting the PCH fan to 0% on IDLE and the temperatures eventually climb to about 70 C, up from 57-58 C with stock fan curve.

Here's a picture of the PCB heatsink assembly, pretty laughable fin array. Not to mention that your chipset is already sucking in hot air from your GPU while gaming.

I do agree that some interference may occur, however, there is more than that missing from our bios.
I was trying to configure 1usmus power profile with the bios settings, and some setting(i will put them below) are missing:
CPPC Preferred Cores = Enabled

AMD Cool'n'Quiet = Enabled

PPC Adjustment = PState 0

Now, without these the profile doesnt do much. Is that because of the bios settings not being configure?, is the profile itself just snake oil(I higly doubt this as 1usmus is a damn genius)? we wont be able to know for a fact as the options are not available for us to test :/

What i would say is that if one would flash it's bios only for the spread spectrum(which is usually more or less just estetic if we are not talking about a huge oc), thats a risk that is not very worthwhile.

I plan on trying to unlock more options from the bios, and then try to flash it, all of these will wait however until my bios flasher that I ordered from china arrives, I wont risk a paper weight board for a bus value.

Hey guys,

I want to buy a new system with a Ryzen 3900X and 16GB of RAM and I am looking for the TUF Gaming X570 Plus Wifi.

Can you guys recommend this mainboard?

Serving me well and CPU boosts to 4.4GHz on stock no prob. Additionally, sound from mobo is great.

Okay because I have heard about some BIOS problems concerning missing options for OC and a noisy mainboard fan which you cant control....

 

[Gunderman456]

On latest Bios, I notice the fan spins on boot up then stops. I monitor the Chipset temps and they generally stay at around 56C so the fan never spins. It's suppose to spin when the Chipset reaches 65-70C is what I understand? Mind you my gear sits in an open air case.

 

[needyourhelp]

Okay that sounds much better.

Because I dont want to be "disturbed" while Im playing or doing whatelse because of a noisy mainboard fan....can you manually controll the fan in the BIOS?

 

[waltdanger]

Not by default. The bios could be modded for that, but honestly I never hear the fan anyway. Maybe if I had a pcie 4.0 drive that made the chipset work harder but even then you'd have to be using the bottom m2 slot (the top one uses cpu not chipset lanes).
Since I have free time due to the quarantine maybe I'll try to create a generic modded Bios. I was hoping Asus would release a new one since some of their other boards got updates recently but who knows if/when that will happen.

 

[M3TAl]

Think I'm going to water cool the chipset once it finally gets all put together. Might as well since the CPU, VRM, RAM, and GPU will be on water.

 

[dajez]

still no new bios, already 4 months lol...

The last BIOS 1405 seems to contain AGESA 1.0.04B (latest I believe). Are there some issues with this one? Otherwise why would there be a new version?

 

[M3TAl]

Coming along, slowly.

Not possible to disable the CPU Spread Spectrum, right?
I hate FCLK at 99.80

Hello, I have an ASUS TUF X570 (WIFI) with a 3700X (Stock) and 32GB 3600Mhz Memory (F4-2600C16D-32FGHTZN 16-16-16-36 1.35v), I have bios 1.0.0.4 installed

All is OK except a monitor not coming back on after reboot or 1 in 20 boots (Philips 32" 4K and a Gigabyte RTX2080 Waterforce @ Stock).

Is BIOS 1.0.0.5 worth the risk, I bought the board (at 1.0.0.1) 5 months ago and has little issues.

Here is the odd part, if you leave the system to "Auto" it defaults to 99.8 FCLK. When I change my 3800x to a manual ratio (43, 43.5) it has gone to regular 100. Give that a try and see if yours does too.

I have this issue as well but particularly when putting the PC to sleep and when waking. Sometimes it wakes just fine and others I have to reset.
