Well I tested today with HDMI and it works now. I'm guessing it's the motherboard's Uefi(bios) Displayport implementation/handshake. The HDMI in my monitor only supports up to 120hz instead of 144hz using Displayport. @samesame , try with a HDMI cable and turn off both monitor and pc and turn everything back on and see if you can get csm disabled working.

I found a link from nvidia's forums with a user having similar issue and the user had a Gigabyte AM4 motherboard but I'm not sure if that user was able to fix it.

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforc...annot-boot-in-uefi-mode-w-displayport-output/

I'm not sure how widespread is this issue and if other users have noticed this issue.

@GBT-MatthewH
Hopefully you can help us with this issue?

I am having VERY similar issues. At first I couldn't get the board to boot with HDMI, so I tried DVI. That worked. Then I left the DVI cable plugged into the video card and plugged in the HDMI cable as well and after a few powercycles it booted into HDMI. I did the same thing with DisplayPort and HDMI - left the HDMI cable plugged in with the DisplayPort and eventually it booted with DisplayPort.

I'm still having issues booting after turning off the power supply, or after a long shutdown period. I push the power button, no display, the board doesn't seem to POST. I push the power button again to turn it off. Then push the button again and it boots. My CMOS settings stay, everything seems fine.


UPDATE: Just tested with both CSM turned on and CSM turned off. No difference for me, I am able to boot either way. Will test cold boot now. Here is my GPU info:

UPDATE2 COLD BOOT: I have no issues with stuff not getting saved in BIOS, and once I've booted once on DisplayPort, I don't have to go through the whole plugging in various video formats thing. BIOS displays using DisplayPort once it's been booted into it once. I'm sure if i have to reset CMOS, I'd have to do the whole chain of DVI->HDMI->DisplayPort again. CSM settings don't seem to matter for me, but I still have to double-boot the computer to get it to boot after Cold Boot. I push power once, fans spins up, lights turn on, then nothing. Push power again, it immediately powers down. Push power a third time, boots into windows (or BIOS, with all settings saved) on DisplayPort with no issues.

FAQ

Q: What is "High frequency support" under XMP?
A: This is a quick way to adjust Infinity Fabric speed manually.

• Level 1 = 1600 IF
• Level 2 = 1700 IF
• Level 3 = 1800 IF
• To go above 1800 IF set the speed manually, do not use these presets.

Q: XMP doesn't work!
A: Make sure you are:

• Using slot A2/B2 - From CPU skip a slot, RAM, skip a slot, RAM. I cannot emphasize this enough. If you are helping someone T/S a problem this should be your first question.
• You are using the latest BIOS.
• For debugging RAM please keep everything else default.
• If the above don't help post your RAM kit and any steps you have tried to fix the problem.

Q: My RAM voltage goes to 1.2V when setting a CPU multiplier.
A: Your OC is unstable. Try raising Vcore.

Disabling CSM causes BIOS to become slow||Reproducible / Working on a fix

I dont see my BIOS on the webpage!!!

We have tons of servers worldwide. If you don't see a file, or get access denied, it means the file hasn't propagated there yet. You need to go to the global page...

Here is an example of the US page: || gigabyte.com/us/Motherboard/X570-AORUS-MASTER-rev-10/
Here is an example of the global page: ||gigabyte.com/Motherboard/X570-AORUS-MASTER-rev-10/

Notice the only difference is the "/US". Simply remove that. For EU remove "/EU", etc... If you get the access denied message try the ASIA server. Its the same file, just a different mirror!

How to use Q-Flash Plus without a CPU:

This is a bit confusing. When the zip is decompressed you get autoexec.bat, Efiflash.exe and X570AOMA.F5l.

The pdf states, "Uncompress the downloaded BIOS file, save it to your USB flash drive, and rename it to GIGABYTE.bin."....I renamed the X570AOMA.F5l to GIGABYTE.bin.

I'm assuming the BIOS file is the is the .F5l. but as I don't flash BIOS' regularly it could be the executable for all I know. This should be worded in a more exacting manner. I reeeeaally dont want to mess up my BIOS.

 

[vonHannawald]

I'm planning on getting an Aorus Elite.
What I'm concerned about is the difference in performance in comparison to other motherboards.
Have a look at this boosting chart and the CB scores by hardware.info.
Depends this solely on the hardware (not fixable) or is it because of a non-optimal BIOS (fixable)?
Another question I have is, is Gigabyte planning on extending the current ramp-up-fan-time limit in the BIOS of 3s?

anyone?

X570AOMA.F5l This is the file that you put on USB drive to flash from inside the bios. The Efiflash.exe and autoexec.bat file are for flashing from within windows or dos. Very bad idea.

You only need to rename the file to gigabyte.bin if you need to use the USB Q-flash back which is a recovery option if your machine will not boot into the bios.

I hope I cleared this up but feel I just added to the confusion especially if you have never flashed a bios b4.

Easiest way is to go into bios and go to Q-flash (gigabytes naming is redundant, Q-flash is the flashing utility and Q-FLASHBACK is the recovery option where the USB drive must be in the white USB port on back but ignore for now) which is F6 I think. On that page it will have on option to flash from USB and you will be able to browse the USB drive and flash the file you want (ie X570AOMA.F5l)

Video Connection Cold Boot Issues (Gigabyte x570 Aorus Elite, F4m BIOS, Ryzen 5 3600, 144hz Acer Monitor, You can see my full system stats in my signature)

I hope this extensive bug report helps someone. I used to work in QA, so I'm hoping the reproduction steps will help @GBT-MatthewH

Backstory:
I've been having extensive issues with this board, sometimes it just refuses to boot, and much of it seems to have to do with the video connection. In order to get it to POST the first time after building, I had to plug in a DVI cable. I was completely stumped as to why it wasn't booting, but someone on reddit helped me out with that tip and then pointed me here.
After trying the DVI cable and finally getting it to boot, I tried with an HDMI cable. I got it to boot after plugging them both in and powercycling. I then did the same with DisplayPort.
After getting into the BIOS, I flashed with the latest version to try to alleviate issues. Nothing seems to be helping.
Lately the board refuses to boot the first time it is powered on after a cold boot, but my BIOS settings save just fine with no issues. When I say "refused to boot", I mean the following: fans spin up, LEDs light up, but nothing is displayed.

Ruling Out Issues:
In order to get it to boot the first time, I had to move RAM around. I tried booting with both sticks in the A2 and B2 slots as recommended by the manual. It did not boot. I then tried one stick in the A1 slot and a DVI cable, it booted. Then I swapped RAM sticks to check if one was bad, no issues. Then put the sticks in A1 and B1 slots, where they remain and appear to be fine. I ran MemTest86 with XMP! enabled for 4 hours with zero errors.
My video card is also fine, I ran it for 4 months in another build with zero issues. I also cross-checked it back in the old build to make sure I hadn't broken it during installation and that the cables I am using were fine. Same GPU, same cables, same monitor, all confirmed to work with my old system.

Latest Issues:
After an extended period of being powered down (PSU remained switched on), the board refused to boot with just DisplayPort plugged in. I left CSM enabled from previous testing. CSM appears to have no effect on my boot issues. I powercycled a few times, nothing happened.

I then plugged in an HDMI cable in addition to the already connected DisplayPort cable. I did not touch BIOS settings. Once inside Windows, everything ran fine on DisplayPort.

Then I powered down and attempted to boot again right away with both cords plugged in, and it refused to boot. I powercycled a few times, and it refused to boot every time.

I then unplugged DisplayPort, and tried again with just HDMI connected. It refused to boot. I powercycled once, and it booted into windows.

I then shut down, switched off PSU, waited 2 minutes, switched PSU back on, and tried to boot again with just HDMI connected. It refused to boot. I powercycled once, and it booted into windows.

I then shut down, and immediately attempted to boot back up again. It booted into Windows.

I then shut down, waited 15 seconds (didn't touch the PSU), and tried to boot again with just HDMI connected. It refused to boot. I powercycled once, and it booted into windows.

I am considering RMAing the board, but I'm unsure if this will solve the issues. (I am also considering returning the whole system and waiting 3 months until the parties involved are actually prepared to launch a product without extensive issues.)

Hello, 3 quick questions about the X570 Aorus Pro;

1. Is it normal behaviour for the AMD Overclocking menu (and any settings from Ryzen Master) not to be reset on a CMOS clear? Where are they stored? What's the best way to "reset" them in case of unstability?

I have this same question... and if this best procedure is particular of Gigabyte's x570 mobos only...

@GBT-MatthewH could you answer this, please?

Hey. So I just updated my AORUS x570 ELITE bios to the latest version F4j from F3. I re-applied the XMP profile and put precision boost overdrive back on enable like before as the update reset everything to default. I've just tested cinebench R15 and before the bios update my score was 1583 now after the update it has dropped to 1409 with a Ryzen 3600. Anyone know why it may have dropped nearly 200 point because of the bios update?

Edit: I seem to of lost 165Mhz with the precision boost after the update. Before it was boosting to 4165MHz now it's boosting to around 4000Mhz. Anyone know why and how to fix it?

I have the Elite board with a Ryzen 3600 and it boosts up to 4199, so one MHz off. Can't ask for more. You have to factor in that individual boards of the same model will be slightly different too. That being said, I don't have a problem if a board that is 100% more expensive than mine is being 1-2% faster

Unfortunately PB basically got nerfed in the later BIOS revisions due to an update in AGESA code. F3 is AGESA 1003, whereas any release afterwards is 1003A+. For whatever reason PB clocks tanked and PBO is just straight up broken. The only fix is to either flash back to F3 or wait for an update from AMD and Gigabyte. :/

Is it already known that latest beta bios (F4l) makes harddrives shown as removable devices in windows? (This WUP-028 shouldn't be there too)
I am using Aorus Pro mainboard.
This doesn't happen with F4i Bios.

Wow why would they do that?. I guess I can try to overclock the old school manual way, they didn't nerf that right?. Or would it be worth reverting back to F3 bios in your opinion? Is there any major disadvantages of using the older version? Thanks.

This was added in newest BIOS I've seen.

You can enable/disable the function in BIOS if you don't want them to be as such.

Well I just thought I bricked my mobo. Aorus Pro wifi x570 here. I am on the latest beta bios f4m and it's been working fine. I was messing around with some per CCX overclocking using Ryzen Master and EasyTune with moderate voltage of 1.33v. I was running Cinebench R15 to test stability and my screen went fuzzy. This has happened before and I just power down the system and power up and we're fine. This time when I went to power up the red lights on my mobo cycled and would just get stuck on the RAM light. I could not get a video signal nor get into the bios. It didn't automatically seem to revert to any backup bios either. Panicking I did some research on the Q-Flash Plus and it just saved my butt. I was able to load the original F3 bios off a USB stick and get video signal. Finally I flashed back to the latest Bios and am just running Stock w/ PBO and XMP RAM. I may be done messing with overclocking on this system. Temps get to 90 deg with an H100i v2 AIO at 1.33v and it's barely stable at 4.3 ghz all core. I can only bump the 1st 2 CCXs to 4325 and 4375 at that voltage to get something kind of stable. Pretty frustrating.

do you live in a very hot country?
with closed loop cooling i run 1.33v also at 4450 4425 4325 4300 on my 3900x, and the temps never ever go above 72 with my room temp around 25
for a short time I ran 1.38v and had 4525 4500 4375 4325, with about 85c max, but decided to drop the voltage just to stay on the safe side

Hi, Aorus Master and R9 3900X owner here. So far so good, I had no problems, my build went very well from the start. Only a couple of minor glitches here and there, but my system is solid. I stayed on UEFI F5G because it works fine for me, so waiting a new AGESA version to see if PBO stuff will work or it'll stay broken as it is now.

@GBT-MatthewH

Do you know if there are plans to add CCX OC as an option into future UEFI versions, as Asus has added into the latest beta for the CH8?

Thanks.

 

[Moparman]

What kind of sound issues? If you have an unstable memory overclock that can lead to some crackling/interruptions.

Windows update caused sound to be disabled and not even showing up as the computer having a soudcard. I played with it a little last night to try to find the issue but so far I can't figure out what causes it.

Are you sure about this?

I asked Gigabyte support via E-Mail before buying the Aorus Master and they said first PCI-E slot should always run x16 as i doesnt share anything with the M.2 slots.

I run 3x M.2 but really dont know where i can check if my PCI-E runs in x16 or x8...where can i check this?

He is incorrect. Tech support is correct as the top slot does not share with any M.2. You can check on the front page. We have PCIe diagrams showing you what shares with what... You can check with GPU-Z

Useful Docs
PCIe Diagrams: https://drive.google.com/open?id=193tSL7U6VwPwnWYm4NPdjQQ3xZwShiAD

I have looked over the diagrams. If you have something in sata 4/5, the 3rd M.2 will switch to x2. This happens for aorus extreme, master and ultra.

This is cheap engineering. They added only 2 extra sata ports. If they would have added 4 extra ports the M.2 would have stayed in 4x.


There is a pcie switch between 3rd M.2 and the extra sata ports, so it is sharing bandwidth.
