So ive been running my 2700x in my taichi x370 board for a while now, and its running faster than in my x470! so my advice is dont bother with x470 at all, everything xfr2 and precision boost 2/storeMI work 100%

I have one question regarding the chipset drivers for the GA-AB350 Gaming 3: On Gigabytes drivers site they offer version [17.40.RC30] while on AMDs website there is already a 18.10. The release date of the 17.40 version on Gigabytes Website is newer (04-26) than the one on AMDs Website (04-19) though. Now which driver should be used?

AMD is showing chipset driver package v18.10.041(4/19/2018). Just get them from AMD, i never have any problems. Motherboard driver packages contain loads of stuff and was probably updated with 1 new driver so they upped the version number.

Hello Friend, I have a serious problem with the BIOS of my motherboard GA-AX370 GAMING 5 the F23f, which gives real support to the Ryzen 2000, the problem is that it does not recognize my EVGA GTX 780, in the debug area the LED corresponding to the VGA remains on but the GPU works normally on other computers, So I decided to change my CPU 2600 for a 1700X and the computer worked completely well, the VGA LED never stayed on and I could even start Windows and Play, the curious thing came later, when I changed back to the Ryzen 2600 as I had problems to recognize my GPU again. out of curiosity I changed the GTX 780 for a GT 210 and with this last one it didn't give me any problems being able to get back into Windows so I suspect that all this problem has its origin in the BIOS. I am very grateful for any help, I am desperate to use my equipment again because the Ryzen 1700X is not mine but a friend's. I don't know much about English so I used a translator so I'm sorry for any inconsistencies.

Always get drivers direct from the source, ie; AMD chipset, get the drivers from AMD.com ;)

Hi,

I found new drivers for Realtek > https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com...px?q=6.0.1.8447

---

nice, they work fine on the GA-AB350 Gaming 3

---

I'll check the driver. All 8447 packages I've seen so far are extremely incomplete but that package looks like it might be a complete one.

Hi all, i come back after two month too tell, that i can change finally the mobo, the cpu, psu and ram. The seller refound all the money to change it.
Now i have a 1800x, a strix-f 370, 16 gb trydent z 3600 cl14 and evga g3 750w.
Its another world, i can 3400 cl14, 40.50 in cpu. Cinebench jump to 1871. With 65° max.
And of course 0 problems. I never imagine that gigabyte dropped the quality like now with the x370 plataform. And dont be sure that my old ram cause that broken the 5 mobos and 3 cpu, in the store. This tell by the technician...

@Ket, thanks again for the hours of your work...

ASRock and ASUS are in another league than gigabyte fella, gigabyte were once a top board manufacturer but now theyve declined to "piss poor" standards, and nothing will ever work properly on them, you are very lucky that board didnt destroy or damage your processor, they are well known for that.

Anyhoo,

I dropped my 2700x into my taichi x370, the whole machine has gone from rocket speed to light speed and i aint joking, the taichi x370 runs faster than my x470 version, but thats just bios maturity at play, asrock are shit hot on bios releases. This thing destroys my 8700k, in fact im putting it on ebay next week because the 2700x is showing how computing should be done, the new agesa from asrock enables every feature of the x470 taichi XFR2, precision boost 2 and senseMI all work 100% perfect not one single issue whatsoever, i feel ket deserves to be knighted by the queen for putting up with this board.

You dont even need to overclock the 2700x in an x370 board, its stock clock is 3.7 and boosts all cores itself up to 4.3GHz, all my games have seen at least a 15fps increase and thats on an old hd 7870 2gb, my brother just gave me a gtx680 that has an alphacool waterblock, the 680 is roughly 11fps faster in games than an overclocked 7870 so im well chuffed, that card is all i will ever need, it doesnt bother me too much that it doesnt have a uefi bios, although i will ask around on this forum if this is possible to flash one.

Thank you very much for your answer and yes, but unfortunately nothing I have done has worked. I researched a little and it seems that this problem is not new since it has been happening continuously in Gigabyte for years, it seems that the BIOS doesn't recognize correctly the GPUs with BIOS GOP, it makes sense for me because my GTX 780 has one of these BIOS and that would explain why my GT 210 doesn't have this type of BIOS if it starts in a normal way. I also tried to apply some possible solutions in these situations but it has not given good results either and I don't want to go any further for fear of damaging the motherboard.

I can poke around the firmware a bit and see if I can find anything that might at least enable the 780 to be usable. Not using GOP and only using the card in legacy mode might be the only solution here.

Well noted, Thank you.

And please don't drop support for the GA-AB350 Gaming 3, I would really like to get the Ryzen 5 2600x running smoothly on that board. Right now I put in my 1600 again because I continuously got RAM related BSODs (even on 2133 mhz) with the BIIOS version F23d from Gigabyte and also with the F22bM-D one from this thread when I put in the 2600X. I use the Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3600C18 (Samsung B-Die). I tried with XMP off, 1.35V on 2133 MHZ with stock timings and still got BSODs. I also tried manually settings all timings, using the Ryzen DRAM Calculator and "safe settings" preset without success. Also I noticed that the temperature readings aren't working properly on the F22bM-D BIOS from this thread with the 2600x put in, it pretty much shows 0°C most of the time.

The Ram works perfectly fine with XMP on and 3200 MHZ with the Ryzen 5 1600. (Running the modded "most stable" BIOS from this thread version F9dM)

Hey @peace_of_mind...
Have you tried setting a higher DRAM VOLTAGE??? Or seeing the DRAM VOLTAGE manually to 1.35v??? Also, which version of the Ryzen DRAM Calculator are you using??? The latest??? Could I suggest wiping the UEFI/BIOS Completely on your board... I had a similar issue with my Ryzen R5 1600 + AORUS-AX370-K5... @ket suggested the wipe to me and it did the trick... Then re-flashed his modded firmware with success!!! Temps back to normal along with a few more issues were corrected... BTW... Could u post a screenshot of your UEFI DRAM TIMINGS please...
F22bM-D is the latest modded firmware that works on my board... F23 hasn't worked in my case... Lastly... Have you checked your boards RAM MEMORY QVL List to see if yours are listed... GB has really screwed the pooch with RAM COMPARABILITY...

@ket i must be mad mate, after all the trouble i had with the gaming5, ive just bought a gaming7 wifi x470 board for gaming only purposes, and theres only ONE reason why i bought it, it has a socketed bios chip!

Lets see how long this one lasts eh.
