Why MSI provides such option then?

Do you have a screen shot? Last I checked they didnt...

I believe he is referring to this: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/1usmus-custom-power-plan-for-ryzen-3000-zen-2-processors/

Thanks! I'll pass it along.

The good: No CMOS reset needed after flashing, just boots up.
The bad: No post or boot when the Xonar is plugged in. Removed it and all good.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll let the BIOS team know and update you when I have a new one to try.

 

[GBT-MatthewH]

When can we expect new version?

Uh, so you guys reported it Friday.... We don't work weekends... I had an update on Monday, which didn't fix the issue. So I'll report back and update you when I have a new version.

 

[GBT-MatthewH]

You can find it next to the CoolnQuiet option.

This was removed from the AGESA in August...

Definitely some issues with the 1.0.0.4B update
EDC limit although appears correct in ryzen master you lose points. After you set it to 0 (aka default) you gain points

We are looking into this.

Cinebench R20, 4981 with EDC at 999 (aka 600 mobo max), and 5025 with EDC at 0. With both power plans (AMD high perf and 1usmus). All other power limits at max.

The only difference I can observe with 1usmus power plan is that on single thread benchmark it uses "fastest core of the system" (gold star) and doesn't change cores randomly but clocks are the same.

I have read alot of posts here, reddit, and else where. I am not convinced this power plan really helps with anything but "perception". Maybe it does help performance in certain situations? Not sure. Does not seem to be a magic bullet.

However more importantly RAM stability is broken. I dropped ram coverage 7-8 fold..from over 7000% to under 800% with the same exact settings.
I will be using the bios switch to go back to 1.0.0.3ABBA to check if there is something else that's causing it but i doubt it.

1004B introduced alot of changes to memory training. Things wont be the same (for better or worse) if you compare 1003 -> 1004.

I have removed my Xonar Essence STX soundcard (using onboard audio now) and updated to 1.0.0.4

What board are you using?

 

[GBT-MatthewH]

I got same problem with Sound Blaster X-Fi on Aorus Elite... any ETA for new BIOS?

We tried testing internally and it works fine on our test system (see below) using F10B, so I need more data to try and reproduce. Can anyone with the Xonar issue do the following for me -

List what GPU you are using. What slot the GPU is in. What slot the Xonar was tested in. A screen shot of F10B BIOS running using CPU-Z.

 

[GBT-MatthewH]

For those with the Xonar issue on the Elite can you try this BIOS, F10C: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1kEL-hsnyW7_n0RfNm_rh0MEVOy1kAG9H

Let me know if it works. Thanks!

Newest BETA BIOS with AGESA 1004B (11/11)

• Should fix Xonar/Sound Card boost issues.

X570 AORUS Xtreme - F10C
X570 AORUS Master - F10C
X570 AORUS Ultra- F10C
X570 AORUS Elite - F10C
X570 Gaming X - F10C

Edit: These are slowly becoming live on our main site, these are just the ones I could grab. All boards will have a F10C release.

I'm on my second X570 Aorus Master and I want to share my experience. I really hope that someone from GB will check it.
I am running and 3700x and a Sapphire Vega 64 Nitro+ on Display Port. On both X570 AM I owned, if I disabled CSM -> Windows 10 will boot with VGA led on.
It's really hard for me to enter BIOS if I don't have another USB device plugged in and if I don't time my DEL button press accordingly. If I press DEL without any additional USB device inserted, it simply does not boot at all in windows. Black screen with signal from the video card.

@GBT-MatthewH
I'd like to report the following on X570 AORUS Pro @ F10c :
1) Ctrl+F6 resolutions menu does not have VGA First/etc options anymore, only to 4k and 1600p choices on my system.
Regardless of the CSM status, it makes the UI a bit laggy in the main menu (though still usable), but absolutely unbearable in SmartFan 5: loads in ~10s, UI reaction is like ~0.3fps, sometimes a bit better - ~1 fps. Took me ages to set up 4 curves.
2) SYS_FAN4 (and probably 5/6/...) issue is still there: it ignores the curve and sets RPM to whatever the curve point #1 is set to (could see RPM change when i move it, while other points and curve itself are ignored). Full powerdown usually fixes it until it randomly comes back again, sometimes twice a week, sometimes 2 times in a row.

Please pass this info to the devs, or would it be better to create a support ticket?

Support ticket. This is a very busy month with launches, black friday, and CES creeping up. I will have less time this month to check in on this thread than usual.

For those who want to test CCX overclocking -

Test BIOS with CCX Overclocking (11/14)
X570 AORUS Master - TD0

• This is a daily build with CCX overclocking enabled.
• Please let us know your feedback to see if this becomes a feature for all boards
• Because this is a test BIOS it may break other functions. Please do not use this as a daily driver. Its for people who want to experiment with a new feature only

@GBT-MatthewH i see the amd coolnquiet finally made it into the bios (10d), turns out AMD didnt remove it afterall thanks for looking into it all those months back

They did, but it was easier to 'add it back' in rather than try and explain the nuance: https://old.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/dzjs7i/fastest_cores_is_windows_right_or_ryzen_master/f88hf6u/

@GBT-MatthewH isn't with gigabyte anymore ?

That's correct. Sorry in all the personal life changes I forgot to update you guys. My last day at GIGABYTE was right after CES. I wanted to thank everyone in this community for their feedback. With your help we got to make some amazing products even better as a direct result of your suggestions, feedback, bug reports, etc.

Bios flashback on every board? You guys asked for it. Finned heatsinks? You guys liked it and we agreed. Only passively cooled x570? We knew you'd like it Better vrm than even I thought possible 2 years ago? You guys paying attention to the details. Dropping orange ascents for a more neutral black? You guys saying you loved x product but not the color...

In fact if you made a thoughtful post and asked us to do/change/make something there is a good chance I took a screen shot of your post, put it in a internal presentation, and said "this is what they want and I agree". So again thank you to everyone who pushed us to make the best products possible.

Finally thanks for all the support for me personally - sitting behind a screen often let's us forget there is a person on the other end. I can tell you that every time someone benefited from a change we made and took the time to say thanks, keep it up, etc, all of that helped push us to keep doing it.

This is probably the last post you will see from this account. My new position is much less public facing (AMD for those wondering) but I'll still be lurking around, taking note of suggestions, etc. I still plan on being an advocate for you guys internally but perhaps not as publicly. Its been fun guys. Be good to each other!
