First of all: thanks for the hard work.

I'm having tough time with my RAM (Ripjaws V 3200 / CL16).
It works flawlessy on an ASUS X470 board (Crosshair Hero VII - agesa 1.0.0.5) but K5 is unwilling to get them to work at XMP settings. Managed to have them working with custom timings, now is 3200 CL 14 ?!?
Has Gigabyte any plan to put an AGESA upgrade to 1.0.0.5 ?

(also: Trouble with Crossfire... hard BSOD; cards works "solo". Same for OSX. Could it be a BIOS issue ?)

AGESA 1004 is the newest, AMD have a very weird versioning system the current 1004 is newer than the 1005 and 1006 from last year. There is a new 1006 being developed but I'm not sure how far along it is.

Hello there. Ket I would like to ask you if you think you can add LLC module to gigabyte x370 gaming k5? Let me know if you do or if it's possible. Thank you for your work Soo far

I'd need to know what power regulator the board uses to say how feasible an attempt would be.

I've seen a video on Actually Hardcore Overclocking channel, by Buildzoid where he analyse the PCB and states that there's no reason why it doesn't have LLC settings since it uses the same components as the gaming 5. He States that everything is there for regulating Load Line Calibration, only the setting missing. If you have some spare time can u try to add the module from the gaming 5 to the k5. I will gladly sacrifice this garbage board on testing it . Anyway thank you Soo much for the work you have put into all this

I'll have a look if I can find some time, the missing options should be in the custom GB setup module which would mean some fairly extensive and time consuming adjustments of a setup module from the Gaming 5, on paper at least. Might be smoother than I'm anticipating won't know until I look.

When and if you do look at it, let me know, will gladly test it

When you say "module swap", would you have to copy donor module and donor default variable and paste both in the receiving bios, or can you delete the old receiving variable and it will take care of itself? Also, do you flash the bios chip with the modified bios and test it for each modification to see if it boots, or is there a better way to do it?

Lets say I want to swap over the bios module that configures the system management unit from 1 laptop that has a power limit of 25w to a donor with a power limit of 15w. Assuming I don't modify it and mess up any signatures/checksums, and all DXE dependencies are met, and the bios itself isn't signature verified on boot, it should theoretically allow for the 15w laptop to run at 25w?

So much of this stuff is undocumented. The only things I have to work with is the compiled programs, old versions of the Bios and Kernel Developer Guides, and work done by other modders.

@danlopez1222 - In general, module swap to me means just that, take module from one BIOS and swap with same module in another BIOS. Or if they are similar, sometimes you can swap out part of the module. Either of those can be risky, so be ready for recovery.
Sometimes you can also just edit the setting you want instead, that's far less risky.

Testing BIOS can be done to some extent without flashing, all depends on what you are modifying and how. You can check with all known tools to open that type of BIOS, does it all look OK and same as opening a stock BIOS?
Same for the module itself, when working with it using tools if used, does the mod and original open and output same way (Thinking IFR output here)

For your 15W >> 25W example, maybe this is a setting that can be simply changed behind the scenes? Is this a real world thing you need, or only an example?
If real, give me the BIOS and I will check if it's something you can just change the setting of, and if so I will show you where and how to do that.

That's the video.
He says the board has a ISL 95712, with integrated LLC curves.

Im confused, decided to look up some tutorials on this mather, and to my surprise under AMIBCP version 5.02 with loaded F22 gaming k5 bios, it has loadline calibration strings attached, Token 0x0265 to 0x026C, every option listed there, "Extreme, Medium, Low, Standard " wtf Gigabite me...........

@Ket can you hint me how to find the right module to replace? i'm trying to figure out which one is the right one to replace, the advanced voltages one or the setup one? if i replace the setup one with the one from the gaming 5 will my shit blow up? gaming k5 still has 2 bios, soo im not very worried about bricking one since it will reflash from the backup

Anyway thanks ;)

@Jman most likely the module you need to replace is the one at GUID 899407D7-99FE-43D8-9A21-79EC328CAC21 however it is unlikely it will be a simple replace further steps will be required.

Anyway I've just spent €10 for a CH341A programmer + "pomona" adapter and I've a K5 board... and I'll try to learn how to flash SOIC.

If it's already there in your BIOS @Jman shown in AMIBCP no module swapping is needed, you only need to enable the setting either by modifying the setup module or with AMIBCP directly (Set to User) Root level of the area containing this setting must already be enabled, otherwise other edits are needed
