Anyone know of a way to adjust the chipset fan? I find it to be just a little too high-pitched and a little too loud, I tried to add a front-panel CPU fan to the front of the case so it could get its own fresh-air with so-so results.

We can tune the chipset fan curve, let me talk to our guys.

That's good to hear, it's really quite annoying at the current noise level- I'd love it if there was a setting to turn it off completely as long as temperatures were decent enough, I'd rather buy a slightly larger, quieter fan and just aim it directly at the chipset, if possible

Also just wanted to add that my chipset fan runs @ 4300 RPM at 53 degrees which is insane. It sounds like a shop vac right next to me. Hopefully there will be a way to manually control via smart fan as for now I have a small 90mm fan aimed up from the bottom of case towards the chipset to get it down to 46 degrees while sounding like a vega blower style GPU

That’s exactly how I have mine set up for now, I’ll give them a solid week before I return the Aorus Master and go for either Asus or MSI.

For science, can you set bios to stock and see if your CPU boost correctly? If it does can you try setting RAM to say 3200 and trying it again? I am wondering if RAM indeed does effect boost and whether or not different chips are effected at different clocks.

If I enable PBO my multi core score goes up in CB15 but I take a hit in single core.

Stock - Multi Core: 3286 Single Core: 211
PBO - Multi Core: 3329 Single Core: 209

These fall within margin of error but the scores were pretty consistent across multiple runs.

Whatever default settings were, I had better luck with them than anything else-

My SC was 545 on CPU-Z, and 8300 with Multi-core, after messing around with the BIOS and Ryzen Master, I'm now at 520 and 7900, consistently. Very unsure what to do, but even more distressing is that fact that when I set things back to default, the scores don't change back...... I was able to test this when loading defaults on the BIOS and using another fresh install of windows, the score went back up- as soon as I changed any setting, it's like the OS knows and drops the score permanently.

I'm also have problems seeing any boost over 4275. I definitely have plenty to learn about when it comes to ryzen master and Ryzen 3000 Overclocking/PBO

Also, is there an ETA on the new BIOS that's supposed to fix that chipset fan? I now have a noctua 80mm blowing directly over the chipset, temps are around 40c and I can still hear the chipset fan, I'm sure with the fan off mode I'd be pretty happy.

It seems the Aorus Master only has a 16 MB BIOS chip, while most other brands are going for 32 MB.

At the x370 and x470 level everyone is making a big fuss about this limitation. MSI even has to create a light BIOS.

Will this be a problem for the gigabyte boards - mid to long term?

I did some research and it looks like it's 128MB vs 256MB BIOS chip, not 16 vs 32

It is 128 Megabit or 16 Megabyte. This is exactly the same.

And the difference is between 128/16 or 256/32.

The low end is 128/16 and this seems to be what GB choose to use.

So my question still stands: will this be a problem in the long run?

My mistake, As it stands, no-

All of my rumors suggest AM4 is done after the Ryzen 4000 series of CPUs.

That means compatibility will only need to be added for a few more CPUs. My understanding is plenty of 300 and 400 mobos' BIOS updates have dropped support for Bristol Ridge entirely, and X570 boards don't have support for Ryzen 1000 series chips either. There's definitely enough headroom for the 4000 series CPUs to be added, in my opinion. Worst-case scenario, a future BIOS update will drop Ryzen 2000 support and it will be a situation where you'll choose whether to stay on Legacy BIOS or keep up-to-date with no processors.

Thanks that did fix it, but I’m beginning to think I have a dud, XMP causes instability even though the RAM is on the list of compatible ones on the gigabyte site (I haven’t yet manually set voltage as has been suggested on this thread though), then after disabling XMP and installing the nvidia driver and some gigabyte drivers, Windows went into a reboot loop and refuses to start up. Beginning to regret straying from ASUS.

try increasing CAS latency by 1

Weird but pretty serious issue (not sure whos at fault).

While playing Pubg after about 1 hour in the game, My USB's start crapping out disconnecting and reconnecting. Rendering all my devices not working (even when its automatically reconnected).
In a panic, I unplugged my keyboard and back in again and it fixed the problem but only for another 30 seconds and it keeps doing it.
While it was in the problem state, my USB sound card, mouse mat, mouse were all not working.

I'm not sure if this is related but upon turning on my PC the first 20 seconds my screen flashes quite quickly many times making the initial boot taking a long time. Could be a USB issue aswell?
Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBzt4npPO2g

the screen flashing happens on mine before booting up, but I haven't had a single issue.

To me, it seems pretty simple, either one of your USB devices is acting up, or you have a bad board and may need to RMA.

Secondly, did you by any chance install USB TurboCharger? If you have, uninstall. If you haven't, install it.
