ket you are doing amazing work with bios.I was wondering if you modded bios can run RAM at 3200? (B350 Gaming 3)
I can't reach it with the official one.

Everythings working perfect with this BIOS flash in windows, but when in the uefi BIOS itself the CPU ramps up to 60c, is there any way to stop this?

Any way to reduce the firmware load times further? I find they are very long 10+ secs atm. Any specific settings I can change to help with this. without disabling usb or Is that my best option? On your AX370 Gaming 5 modded UEFI F9c bios.

Ok cool, im aware there's an offset of some sort making the cpu appear to be higher than it really is in temps so that the fans ramp up, on my old asus 970 aura motherboard there was a setting in the bios to stop this from happening.

Going back to the p-states thing, there are 2 settings, one for ZEN OPTIONS and the other somewhere else listing p-states 0 to 7, now ive managed to work out how to use the zen options part but in the p-states section, nothing can be selected?? well i can select 1 to 7 but they dont stay there, goes back to 0. hmm.

anyway in a couple of days im going to donate to you, because without this bios you have done this board is a PITA.

Gigabyte have done an awsome job with this board but its let down by its software, just goes to show you can put as much technology as you want into something, if the softwares bad it becomes near useless. As an am4 motherboard disregarding its software its better and more stable than any asus i can confirm this too, the strix is an absolute nightmare for starters, its all over the place with everything. The gigabyte gaming 5 is ROCK SOLID, the most stable voltages ive ever seen on ANY motherboard regardless of price. Its a beast with trident Z 3200 ram, not one single issue there. In various test conducted by myself and online the g.skill trident z at 3200 outperforms corsair rgb and TEAM ram at 3600, now thats impressive. at the moment mines running at 3333 and i think thats where it will be staying permanently. everythings running at stock volts atm, and the cpu is running at 3.6 on the rgb spire cooler supplied with the CPU (great cooler btw) unlike anything from intel, theyre pretty poor at the best of times.

Anyway thanks for this, it is BRILL

"We skipped an AGESA (1071) because we felt it was too buggy for even BETA... Good news is new new AGESA/BIOS (1072a) ETA is Friday"

From gigabyte forum...

I did say Asus jumped the gun a bit with AGESA 1071, but from what I've seen its working fine on Asus boards. Gigabyte probably needed the extra time to fix their own bugs and shortcomings in their firmware. We'll find out soon enough.

Yes i am mate, using the reversed engineered bios from here, i do not understand how to use the second set of p-state options though, under ZEN OPTIONS got that part figured out, but the other set of options going from 0 to 7 i do not understand how that works. the vcore on my gaming 5 is actually running very very good indeed, on the stock spire cooler running at 3.7ghz at 1.285v fully stable with intel burn test AVX 164 GFlops

I don't use P-State overclocking but "0" I think corresponds to the highest CPU frequency while "7" corresponds to the lowest frequency. Again I wouldn't recommend trying to use both sets of P-State options at the same time one or the other. If you aren't already I'd suggest at least using hardware monitor to check vcore stability. Under 100% load using the seti@home project vcore had up to a 0.061v variation even with LLC on the "High" setting which is just awful. The latest board I'm testing which is a Biostar GT7 only varies by 0.02v and thats without any LLC.

After some messing got the bios browsing down to 0.75v now and its sorted the heat issue out down to 22c. no i dont use LLC either. running at 3.65ghz on air at stock volts, it now drops to 1400mhz with no load and 0.5v, windows now idles at 14c

That would explain better vcore readings for you then. Once you start increasing voltages thats when you will see the bad vcore stability kick in. Also, as of 6:30pm UK time there is still no firmware update for the Gaming 5 on the US Gigabyte site so anyone hoping for that is out of luck right now.

Yea ket i just looked, cant find the update here either, its ridiculous. Such a good board ruined by its softwares, that said at least ive got my RGB side of it working properly now. it plays nice with corsair link at last. youve done more with this single UEFI bios than GB have in 6 months.

Quick update before the weekend: last round of testing identified a bug in 1072a. We just received the patch from AMD. They will be working on it first thing next week. Depending on testing it should be available early next week (assuming the patch works and no new bugs are found).

Really is a problem of Amd? Or gigabyte? I'm sure to stand in F9c in the next weeks...

While its easy to get frustrated with Gigabyte because they have done so little with the firmware for their AM4 boards its worth remembering the only manufacturer that has released new firmware based on the new AGESA is Asus. Asrock, Biostar, Gigabyte, and MSI all haven't. On the other hand there are always those that will look at this as simply another broken promise from Gigabyte. Lets remain cautiously optimistic though as it actually seems like Gigabyte have taken their thumb out of their arse and are actually fixing the Aorus firmware up. Heres hoping they release something with enough options to be comparable to the likes of Asrock and Biostar because this next AGESA update is make or break for Gigabyte and their AM4 boards IMO if they fail again it becomes a 4 horse race when it comes to enthusiast grade boards to consider; Asrock > Asus > MSI > Biostar.
