Send it here @Jman if you really hate it that much, I will put to good use as AM4 source for helping others (once I find dirt cheap AM4 CPU)

I use Corsair lpx vengeance 2666mhz 2x8gb ( micron B die) stock is 16-18-18-35 with f22 I can run it at 3200mhz 16-19-19-35;at 1.35v. for some odd reason with new bios it wouldn't boot past 3066. And yes I know it's 100% stable cause I ran memtest and lynx (can't remember if I'm typing correctly) hours and hours without a single error. Soo agesa 1.0.0.6 is worst for me. Anyway probably will sell or give this board away and get the ASRock taichi x470. Sick of Gigabyte bullshit

@ket will you be releasing any more modded versions?

2600x yea but thats only a 6 core cpu, it cant handle the 2700x

was just a test - i run 4.2GHz @1.35625V 24/7

yet actually even AGESA 1.0.0.6 doesnt like my cheap Ripjaws F4-3200C14D-16GVK 100%

i get 3333CL14 stable for working - and it boots 2-3x in a row - but than randomly i get POST BUT NO Win-BOOT + "memory-error" beeps and i need to go into bios and load profile - than it works fine
1.4-1.44V dram doesnt matter - 1.1V VSOC is not enough and doesnt matter stability etc

btw - how high can i go with VSOC?

---

@ket Ty for the hint much appreciated 😁

@ket do you know why i have that strange behaviour?
i power on my pc - it POSTS - then it randomly gives memory-error-beeps instead of booting into windows
sometimes everything is fine - often i have to powerdown pc (after the 3x auto-restarts) and than load the profile - and it works again

here my settings

Ryzen 5 2600X 4.2GHz 1.356V // Samsung B-Die 3333 or 3200 CL14 (14, 14, 14, 14, 34, 48, 333, 250, 150) 1T 1.392-1.416V + 1.05V VSOC + 53 24 24 24 24 RZQ/7 OFF RZQ/6; BGS disabled + GearDown & PowerDown Enabled

@Benman2785 - sounds like memory instability to me, but sorry I can't help with suggested changes.

@Benman2785 The first thing you want to do is identify if the problem is a memory related one. Best two ways to do this would be to loosen timings, try 15-15-15-15-35-55, TRFC values of 400, 300, 256. Running HCI memtest and just letting it run (the longer the better) will thoroughly test your memory for errors. Before I ditched the Gaming5 I had I did manage to get 3466MHz stable on the board buy beyond that proved to be difficult as the board is kind of weak for memory overclocking simply due to component choice in that area.

i will try now and report ;)

What everyone should do first before even doing any overclocking is make sure everthings running properly at stock first for at least a week, surprised no ones mentioned this. switching over to a 7900x on boxing day this should be interesting

Poe stop talking out your arse the Gaming 5 handles the 2700X perfectly fine it is essentially a refined R7 1800X / 1700X.

@POE_UK
an x370 gaming 5????? Lol it can handle a lot more than any ambient cooled setup can throw at it. Those VRM's are good way past 200w with direct cooling. Id run them that high without sweating. Hell I run my k7 with liquid cooling but no air or liquid cooling on the mobo. Temps peak like 60 on the vrms with the cpu core pulling 150w and 100a and with core and uncore pulling 200w combined. Thats with only the case fans cooling it. Ran for 14 hrs. The vrms are more than adequate for even DICE cooling.


And FYI if you can't break 4ghz thats not the boards fault. generally its the user or the silicon quality. Cause mine runs 4.3ghz on a 1600x no problem.

My 2700x is zipping along at 4.325Ghz 3466ram cas 14,13,11,11, intel burntest gives 238.8Gflops max temp 80c 28c idle on my x470 gaming7 wifi and theres still more room to go

my mates x370 k7 cant manage 4ghz with my 2700x with 3200 ram, max intel burntest 201.1Gflops 3.98Ghz max temp 91c, 34c idle

basically you are losing the performance equivilent of a core2duo E8600 @ 4.25GHz

ive tested my cpu in his board with identical cooling, so this speaks for itself, x370 is weak on gigabyte boards, why are you even wasting your time with this shit. even the biostar x370 boards are better than this ffs

Dude people cant even get the gaming5 working properly after 18 months, theyve got more problems than Katie Price

Please read some of this people arent posting this stuff for the fun of it,

This board has got the worst reviews out of any motherboard in the past 11 years. one bloke on there has had 4 go bad in a row lol, must be an idiot though after the 2nd one

Although taking overclocking out of the equation because nothings guaranteed there no matter what brand, a whopping 23 people out of 50 have had dead boards within one month or instant failures, i didnt buy mine for mental overclocking i just wanted the fucking thing to work, which it did for a few weeks untill it destroyed my r7 1700 cpu. currys pc world even took them off the shelves!

In fact looking back its now been well over a year and a half and they still aint working right, i must have been seriously stupid to buy the x470 variant the gaming7 wifi, but this ones benn fucking stellar from day one with no messing with the bios whatsoever, apart from relaxed EDC throttling being missing which was resolved by installing the easytune2 engine service within windows. Also something missing from any other board on the market atm is a removable bios chip, that's the only reason i bought it. I havent seen any asus,msi,asrock,ecs elitegroup,biostar or evga board have this feature for well over 10 years, gigashite put it there because of all the known bios issues of the x370 variants, yes i could easily de-solder the chip myself and replace it but thats an utter PITA when you have watercooling in a thermaltake tower900 case. its given them in taiwan and AMD a massive headache, having said this their previous gen intel boards suffered identically, a lot of the intel ones didnt even have the cpu socket soldered straight haha. Jays2cents was the first to witness this balls up on threadripper

You ought to see how many of these there was in the skips at pc world its hilarious and its not just the bios thats dodgy, the onboard sound is as well on a lot of them.

Also i must admit the gaming5 does look like a beautiful board its a shame theyre so poor

Gigabyte no longer support this board, dont believe me? then ask them yourself. Any future uefi bios releases are spinoffs from their other boards, this is a very clever tactic and why all their bioses look and act the same. The board at release was touted as the no1 amd gaming motherboard at CES, no1? seriously, err no, the asrock taichi is the no1 x370 board, anyone who knows anything about computers will tell you the same its a no bullshit motherboard with massive performance and stability. People liked the gaming5 because of all the lights, but even they didnt work properly.

You want to know who is to blame for all this? it aint gigabyte its the morons on YOUTUBE! recommending to the world boards that they have only tested for about 2 hours then claiming theyre epic, this is why now i dont listen to any of the bs they say on review sites like kitguru

X570 will support pcie4, easily run much much faster ram and the cpus will be just over 15% faster also are 7nm process meaning much higher overclocks, its a complete overhaul not just a rebadge. remember this is amd not intel.

Ket yes!

I would seriously ditch the supplied vrm cooling and fit an EK monoblock, youre one of the lucky ones who got a fully working motherboard, so hang on to it.
