Gigabyte modded AM4 X370 / B350 UEFIs

A note to wherever people are coming from for these modded UEFIs, if you could make a post in this thread telling me what board you have it would be useful info so I know which boards I can dump making modded UEFIs for and which I need to continue or start making modded UEFIs for.

Hi and first off, great to see the enthusiast work here... 61 pages of modded bios comments reminds me of my old days, hah!

I replced my 7-year old rig and bought the B450 Aorus M motherboard because I think it's the best design of any uATX mobo on the market now (and it even has low price). There are two things holding it back though; its limited bios and VRM cooling. I fixed the VRM cooling itself by adding small heatsinks and with some airflow they run very cool.
If was hoping you might have a chance to upgrade the bios for this board? Just enablng the hidden options would be a major relief I think. Alternatively, if you can give me some pointers on how I can do that myself that would also be great!
The official bios for the board here https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B450-AORUS-M-rev-10

Forgive me if someone looked into it already, I just scrolled through the last 10 pages or so and didn't find any here, nor in other posts or the Gigabyte forums.

hey - i just want to inform you that in some weird cases the bios F23M-D for Gaming 5 doesnt save the set RAM timings
like it uses 1 or 3 for a value that is 0 or "-"

AND do we have "boot dram-voltage" option?
so i could boot my 3466CL14 with 1.45V and run it than with 1.4V?

GA-AX370-Gaming-5 + Ryzen 5 2700X @4.2GHz 1.35V + G.Skill Trident Z RGB @3200CL14 + RX580 4G Nitro+ (1500MHz/2000MHz@CL16) = 14235 in FS (#81 worldwide with that HW)
Acer Nitro 5 with Ryzen 5 2500U @30W + G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4-2400CL16 + RX560X 4G (1400MHz/1500MHz) + 120Hz 3ms FreeSync Panel = 6554 in FS (#1 worldwide with that HW)

Well, it's being true, CPU Fan Fail Warning should alert any time CPU fail fails, such as when powered down

Not sure if thats a bug or not, I'm inclined to think its probably normal behaviour.

Not an issue I ever encountered, as I don't have the Gaming 5 anymore its not something I can try to reproduce.

AB350N firmware as stated was a one-off I don't have the time to mod firmware for every board GB have sadly.

My apologies if this has already been answered but 61 pages is a lot to read and no search function available on mobile version.

Is there a mod or a way to unlock all rgb zones on the X370 Gaming 5 motherboard?

For some reason the color is stuck pulsing green and will not change in rgb fusion nor the bios. No recent bios changes have been made.

Thank you in advance.

Nope, sorry, that feature was a placeholder for x470 boards. the x370 variants don't have the necessary hardware to enable multi zone rgb. Even though gigabyte lied about it on their webpage.

GB will squirm out of such things with tissue paper thin excuses such as "what we meant was multiple areas on the motherboard has LED lighting" though.

Outside of the current firmwares I'm developing I do not have the free time to do more if I were to do more it would be "on the clock" the only way I could do it would be on a donation basis.

How are you adding these settings? Are you manually modifying the setuputility DXE to include more options? Also, what settings are contained by the AmdSetup variable and the AMD_PBS_SETUP variable. I'm trying to modify the throttling behavior of mobile Raven Ridge laptops and I have a suspicion that the variables are the same for all AMD systems of the same AGESA version, regardless of desktop or laptop. Any documentation, information you can provide, or directions that you can point me would be a great help.

The options are there already, only need to be enabled to be visible - I'm speaking for ket, but assuming
They are in Setup Module, CBS module, and PBS Module

NOTE: to X470 Gaming7 Wifi Owners,

Gigabyte have released v1.1 of this motherboard and it's F5 BIOS runs sweet as a nut on version 1.0 motherboards, everythings unlocked and working 100%

So basically if you want all you XFR settings back flash the F5 bios from the v1.1 motherboard.

For some, possibly many of the settings, yes that is all you have to do. Some of it is copying from another BIOS or module swap, but a lot of it for settings it just that enabling the hidden settings to be visible.
It's both easy at times, and really tough other times, so it's not a simple thing to do sometimes, especially for certain settings on some BIOS.
