So it's not as simple as I'd hoped. Well, I'll just have to cross my fingers and pray you eventually make an enhanced K7 BIOS as well.


Have you seen the leaked AMD slides for the Ryzen 2000 series yet? One of the slides mentions that all board vendors, including Gigabyte, will be releasing new "optimized" BIOSes some time in March to fully support the new Pinnacle Ridge CPUs.

People are accusing these slides of being fake. But it seems AMD has decided that, since the cat's out of the bag, they may as well take advantage of the news and post about it themselves.

Good news... thanks @ket.
Yesterday i get a softbrick for the firts time. The board need 7 hours to restore the bios without energy. But today boot normally. All with f22b ver.

Continue trying stable 3200 with 16 18 18 18 38 74. Past ibx in normal 10 times, cinebech ok, 3dmark ok, but the games crash. I try back to f9c, but something change in win 10 or chipset drivers 18.10, have the same issue, i lost the 3200 in memos. With 3060 14 16 16 18 run ok for hours. And the pstates work fine.
I'll wait your mod...

Pd: bad news, my mobo is death, softbrick again. After two hours, the mobo boot, but in win its crash. And start again. Dont boot... i unmount the rl and go to the box. Tomorrow i try to change for a taichi or ch6 with my leader, "hasta los guevos de gigabyte gaming 5" like sai here... if retourn to me a new mobo i'll try to sale in second hand.

I am trying my best to warn people about this piece of shit motherboard bricking itself because of resistor faults on the 5v stages but no ones listening, switching to single or dual bios modes makes no difference it will still happen, and getting a Taichi will be the best thing you ever did, its the number1 x370 board.

Hi,

My cpu was killed by the mobo, i think. The leader sent the new gaming for replacing but dont boot. I send again the mobo, cpu and memo. Another week without pc...

And @POE_UK, i buy the gaming 5 in march of the last year, if i know then... I owned more than 5 mobos by gigabyte and never was shit like this.

Any chance you can mod these features into the AB350N-Gaming?
Bios UI layouts are the same.

Does anyone have time to test an experimental Gaming 5 firmware I'm working on? Primarily memory compatibility needs testing.

Hi ket. I registered only to give you an answer. Firstly sorry by my English, I am a Spanish guy.

I flashed the official BIOS f22 version from you f10 modded one, and I have some unexpected blue screen in windows 10 while playing games.

With you modded f10, Mem can be set to 3066 Mhz on my PLX Vengance 3200Mhz.
With the official f22 increased to 3200 but was unstable.

Now I give a try to your new modded BIOS f22d and it´s amazing. AMD 1600X overclocked to 3.925 without problem and memos at 3200Mhz. No reboot yet.

So from my side, thanks you so much Ket.

That improvement must be due to some changes I made to the default memory configuration settings, good to see it working out in realtime as it does in theory :)

Doesn't work for me though when comparing to the older F9 series. I updated from modded F9 to modded F22b and can't boot at 2933 with XMP enabled anymore (still haven't tested without yet), even when applying my old custom timings that were stable. LPX 2x16GB 3200 kit.

Did they screw up XMP in the latest version?

EDIT: looks like they did. Disabled XMP and everything is exactly as it was, except that now 3000MHz is an option if I loosen some timings (probably not worth it). Testing stability again just in case.

Hi ket.
I have a few questions.
Could it be possible to enable Ryzen to continue power save mode during overclock or this is internal in the cpu?
Also the minimum voltage could be set by the user(it default to 400mv minimum in C-states at stock for my Ryzen 5).
Can the post time be made shorter?..like in the Asrock Taichi with minimum post time(no training, all compatibility and legacy off) of 4 seconds?
Thank you.

*Facedesk* I've just spent the last two days working on detailed firmware improvements for the Gaming 5 and K7 and now there is an official F22 firmware for the Gigabyte boards updating the AGESA to what I was initially waiting for but as it looked like it wasn't going to come anytime soon started modding F22b firmwares. Needless to say there will now be a delay as I have to redo everything (which hopefully won't take as long) and of course it will be updates for every board as its a new AGESA. I was also working on a new reverse engineered K7 firmware for the Gaming 5 but.. poof goes all of that work gotta start over.

Sit tight folks, I'm on it.
