hey has anyone boot problems with a fixed CPU-Multi on GA-AX370-Gaming 5?

when ever i set a manual multi my PC beeps and i have to enter bios after 3 failed boots - when i than load the settings and boot everything is fine - but i ducks having to wait 3 tries with beeps and than load oc profile!

I want to share with you some experiences about the overclock of a ryzen 5 1600X and the combination of 2 motherboards and 2 RAM that passed through my hands.
asrock ab350m pro 4. Very good mobo with many choices in the bios for what you can imagine .. (it's enough you did not get defective ..: p)
-----> 4.0 ghz - 1.27V (static vcore). - memory(Teamgroup) was set from 2400 (2800-16-16-16). Max temperature 70 C. 😮
I did not believe it at the beginning ... I did not deal with ryzen master, all through the bios.

Then for some weird reason i upgraded to a gigabyte b450m aurus mobo. tried the same configuration but it didnt work.
eg----> multiplier 39 needed at least 1.37V for BIOS to post with an offset -0.030. Ramped up Vsoc. too with no result.
This set up gave me temperature headaches ~~80+.

At the same time though, I switched to gskill aegis 3000 16-18-18. I thought its ok, ram speed changed, so the memory controller needs more voltage to keep the cpu feeded.

Then out of curiocity i downloaded ryzen master and guess what? I was able to overclock my precious 5 1600x to 4ghz with 1.27V!! again 3000mhz ram speed...ohh good old times :)

At this poiont i am certain that something has to do with gigabyte bios and the negative offset configuration they provide.
Is there someone who has similar experiences with gigabyte mobos?

DONT FLASH F40 for GA-AX370-Gaming-5

now it doesnt take ANY Ram-OC anymore - even after flashing F31 and F25

now i run my Ryzen 5 2600X @4GHz with 1.219V and DDR4-2133CL9 (9-9-9-9-22-32) because when ever i set a RAM-OC (used to be 3466CL14) i get POST-CODE F9!

found it it takes RAM OC - but not static voltages

ps i also did the EC FW tool

Did the f40 but on a x370 k7 , also the ecfw tool but didnt run in to problems like a few others had
still same oc with p-state here ,no issue memory 4x8GB @3200-14

But for the question that remark 4 dimm compatible as excuse to use the ecfw tool is in my opion nonsens
The icm takes care of memory - (the agesa update for zen2 for those cpu's while the former cpu's also work with the same memory)
only thing it does is updating the ITE i/o chip , and GB support just present it selfs as a sitdown comedian show (.... what was that u said ? ..ive got to look that up .. and if u press the power button twice ?)

anyways if the zen2 just wont work normal on a GB x370 K7 board , then i try revert to F25 > F31 > F40 (just as now but no ecfw tool) and hope for the best
Else byebye gb-x370 , and giganeverbuy to maybe asrock or what does seems reasonable working

Konnichi wa , its getting early in the evening :D

anyone got the ga-ab350? i have a lot of problems with bsods..

@peace_of_mind
which ga-ab350?

i have ga-ab350-gaming-wifi and no bsod - but coldboot problems
bsod is usually a faulty CPU OC or RAM OC

GA-AB350-Gaming-3-rev-1x. with Ryzen 5 1600X (no OC) and 2 x CMK16GX4M2B3600C18 using the XMP Profile #1 but reduced clock to 3200 mhz.

what bsod do you get?

this is usually a faulty RAM-OC!
or your hdd/ssd is faulty OR your Anti-Virus makes strange stuff

so lower clock on RAM an/or loose timings - test again

ALSO: use DDU in safe-mode to uninstall gpu-driver and reboot - install latest driver - reboot and test

hmm just noticed the "NOTICE: 28/3/19" - was hoping we would/could get inofficial PCIe 4 support on our X370 Gaming 5 - but I totaly understand him

@ket
so thank you very much for your work so far! take your freetime for yourself/family/friends and enjoy!

1. I used DDU to completely reinstall newest nvidia driver.
2. I use windows defender
3. I use the OC profile provided by the mainboard settings and lowered clock to 3200mhz (ram can do 3600)
Tried to lower it to 2400mhz but this didnt change anything.

EDIT:
1. I think Ì had checked my hdds/sdds for errors in the past but can do it again, how do you recommend i do it?
2. I also stress tested my RAM in the past with MEMTEST and it had no errors
3. I believe its somewhat BIOS/Driver related but I am having a hard time to figure out which driver etc..

PCIE revision 4 is working absolutely brill on my x470 gaming7 wifi with an official bios update from gigabyte, but im not sure about x370 boards.
