I've got an X570 Master and a 3700x coming tomorrow. Should I be updating to the F5b bios?

I'm running the latest offical bios F5g, no real major issues so far.

Will give it a try tonight.



Mhmm. I'm certain, second slot from the left, and last slot to the right. Oddly enough, when I get into the BIOS, the board says "Unknown" for the manufacturer. I've seen people's BIOS actually say the manufacturer of the RAM. I have another set of RAM coming in from Amazon to be certain it's not Newegg giving me the short stick for the two sets I ordered from them at the same time. Else it's the board.

Latest BIOS version as well, optimized defaults, etc.

EDIT: Just saw that Gigabyte is doing some freebies for reviews, sweet. What's bad is the need for Facebook to even submit it .

Sounds like the SPD info isn't being read? Not sure. Every kit I have tested was XMP and done.

Any update from AMD about the Linux/Destiny2 BIOS fix?

They're saying end of month by AMD, then another week or 2 when the board makers work with it to create their BIOS update.

Ah right. So about a 3 week wait then. Good to know

Guys quick question, does the x570 aorus ultra seriously have no debug led on the board???

But no debug led??? I mean post code debug led.

There are literally hundreds of board pictures in the net. You should be able to get your answer yourself.....

Hi guys quick question on the Master's features. Does the ESS Sabre DAC only apply to the front panel headphones or the rear I/O as well?

Can Master owners please check if they are experiencing any coil whine? My motherboard has audible coil whine coming from one of the two highlighted parts in this image https://i.imgur.com/lcVmogv.png. Though this doesn't indicate any defects, I'm still inclined to return it as it is very annoying.

I'm running the 3900x and X570 master as well and I can't seem to hit max rated single core no mater what I do either but not as bad as your seeing. All core seems to stay around 4200 MHz all the time and single core gets up to 4525 max. Temps never got over 49 C during the benchmark.

I've been able to get up to 4050 to 4100 all core. Gaming and 3dmark are in the 4300 to 4400 range. I've stretched this up a bit by undervolting the offset to -0.1 and scores improved by ~2.5%. PBO is still off. Also, if I run slower ram, 3200mhz CL16 vs the CL3600 CL14 that I have for the build, boost clocks go up ~200mhz. No change in benchmarks.

The ESS Sabre DAC is for front panel audio only! <--- EDIT: Clarification this is for the AMP section, sorry poorly worded by me.

I'm on the Xtreme and this is how it is. Back I/O AUDIO doesn't have AMP features. Saw others on the net asking same question.

That's dumb. I think their product website implies it applies to both front and rear.

Tested it with the RAM from Amazon. Bad board .

Now, dumb question of the day: The power sockets to the north of the board that powers the CPU, we only have to plug in a 8pin, correct? Or are we supposed to plug in both? My board has both an 8pin and a 4pin.

Really?
That's incredible disappointing and was one of the reasons I would like to go with the Master.
Guess the Master is not that attractive for me anymore.

I saw no mention in marketing that it applies to all ports. Just that there is and AMP and it's capable of driving powerful headphones.
What motherboard has back audio AMP? I haven't seen any mention any do?

Tough the sound is good on the front & back. It's 100% clean from all noise.
No jitter/pops/distortion or other noise from power creeps into the sound. I had an issue with the back-connectors having coil/noise from the GPU/network/HDD transplant on my Biostar motherboard.
Gigabyte doesn't have this issue. The sound is clean!

Just be sure to haver good enough headphones for the sound character you like. I made the mistake to buy wrong kind of headphones when my old broke down, made a bad choice to listen to "normals" in the shop to go for Marshall Bluetooth ones, it's awful to my ears. The mids and up sound **** on these in my opinion.

Only the 8-Pin is needed.

Mine doesn't have it. Have you put your finger on the 2 inductors to see if it goes away?

I have, it didn't go away.

Yeah I don't expect the back panel to have a headphone amp, but it just seems weird that the DAC itself would apply only to the front panel. The MSI board talks about having high quality outputs on both. Ugh now I'm not sure which brand I'm going with again.
