Did you get a shiny new Ryzen 3000 CPU?

[Liviu Cojocaru]

Have you verified Gigabyte's QVL if your ram is actually supported on that board?

Yes, 2 slots not 4 XMP is supported as well.

 

[Voltaj .45 ACP]

So what exactly is new, I wonder? Changelog is literally Ctrl+V from 7/31/19 version.

do you familiar ww2 movies?american soldiers yells tigeeeeeeer when they saw one.this series yells voltageeee when they saw us on mouse.new driver didn't fix that.my old 2700x was calm.i can watch even movies and it didn't freak out.

 

[HD64G]

Very interesting for many here and especially for those who got the 3800X

I wish I got the clocks he gets, but my fastest cores are like his slowest, on the same board...
Never seen 4450, let alone 4525, without enabling PBO and every other overclocking feature available in the UEFI, which shouldn't be a requirement.
Let's see what AGESA 1.0.0.4 brings...

 

[HD64G]

I was sure that video would interest you very much TheLostSwede . Maybe you should try again with default UEFI settings in CB20 1-thread test? If you didn't do this already after the last UEFI update.

I installed the F5o UEFI yesterday, didn't really look, but now it does seem that the CPU is hitting 4,500MHz at times, not all cores, but at least some of them are. This is just running simple things like browsers, Netflix, etc. not while gaming. So it might be as simple as being UEFI related.
This is still 1.0.0.3 something...

 

[mstenholm]

That was your sixth BIOS update right? Still in beta I assume. Well it brings hope to others still waiting to get a CPU

Something like that, yes. And as I mentioned, AGESA 1.0.0.4 is expected in a week or two.
Downside with this UEFI is that I can't go past 3600 on the RAM, but hey, maybe the next non beta UEFI will solve that too...

This is interesting though, no idea what's going on here...
Restarting Ryzen Master didn't help...

Isn't 3600 where you'd want to be on Ryzen 3000?

I'm pretty much on 4.4GHz now at times across most cores, but I'm just not seeing the exact 4400MHz number. Something like 4381MHz or something.

Gigabyte doesn't have much reason to care for my board, though. It's whatever, for every issue I've had I pretty much had myself to blame for not shelling out $300 for the X570I.

Going from 3733 to 3600 1:1 will not benefit anyone. Sure beside benching the difference will not been noticed but that's not the real issue here. Why does BG release a beta that kills Ryzen Master?

I could do 3800 1:1, not that it seemed to make a huge difference in any of tests I ran, but even so...
3733 1:1 was 100% stable though.

Any ideas why Ryzen Master has decided to go transparent on me?
It's unusable like this. Even the installer follows the Windows desktop background colour...
Edit: Found the issue, it doesn't work with Nvidia FXAA enabled...

i have a ryzen 9 3900X on my msi b450-A Pro... my "drunken rage" 14 hour gaming is fine... i'm not sure i am....

Got the Aorus X570 Elite yesterday and got the same issues, tried 2 set of RAM kits(Corsair Vengeance 3200mhz and Gskill Aegis 3000mhz ) and none would load the XMP profile in the BIOS, I still get the BSOD in Windows even on the default settings. Installed fresh Windows . I requested a new CPU from Amazon and it is arriving today, maybe it is the CPU and also ordered Kingston Hyper X Predator 3200, arriving tomorrow. It is really annoying...

Are any of those you listed on the QVL? Did you update to the latest BIOS for the board?

 

[Liviu Cojocaru]

Yes, I've updated the BIOS and yes the Corsair at least is on that list 100%. The Hyper X that I have is order are on the list for all the slots

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuut, the stuff you just bought........I hope is......?

My man, things have improved RE: Ryzen and memory, but you really want to stick to the QVL especially if you are having trouble.

So few questions:
- is boot time of 18 seconds normal? W10 on sx8200 Pro. With ultra-fast boot enabled. That being said it's from Task Manager, so who knows what it actually measures. Boot takes a bit long before Gigabyte logo is updated but I guess it's due to F3 bios I'm using which is stock
- temp fluctuations at idle - I assume that's normal (for Ryzen), at least from what I read in a thread over here
- ultra fast boot or regular? Ultra fast basically skips "del to enter bios"

I've mounted NVMe in second slot, since it's not a PCIe 4.0 drive. Should I keep it there, or mount it in first NVMe slot?

Specs are listed, all on X570 Aorus Elite

 

[Shou Miko]

I am still strongly thinking about going AMD Ryzen but then it has to be the Ryzen 9 3900X but for motherboard I would really love to see som B550 chipset boards with a good vrm that doesn't look like a shit job.

If AMD gonna name the new B series chipset for Zen 2 that.

slow boot time is only in NVMe iirc. I don't have one so didn't keep up with possible workarounds people posted in r/Amd last few weeks.

So what do you guys think about AMD possibly downclocking Ryzen 3000 chips in newer AGESA updates?

Quotes from Stilt and Shamino in overclock.net forums has riled the people there at r/Amd.

Basically if you don't reach the advertised PBO speed currently don't expect it to get "fixed" anytime soon. Plus I think they changed some boost algorithm too.

I'll wait a week or so until inevitably someone from AMD will make a blog post to clarify the issue. But do take a read here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/cuk6bt

Gigabyte (@)Bios is only showing F3 bios when I check any servers, support page has latest F4j. What's the deal?

For now I've downloaded F4j from the site and updated with (@)BIOS from file. It worked.

Any recommendations for CPU and Vcore LLC? Simply set it to High from default Standard?

I have the original SX8200NP and a "last BIOS time" in Task Manager of around ~18 seconds. I previously thought it was a Ryzen 3000 + B450 problem.

The fast boot options don't make a difference for me; once Windows starts booting everything is hella fast. You should probably just move it up to the first slot, it's not like NVMe/PCIe isn't backwards compatible. You get to use the board's heatsink too.

I'm not even sure if it's NVMe that causes this delay at boot. It seems like the most plausible explanation, but in that case, how come just changing from 2133 JEDEC speeds to 3200 C16 XMP cut down my pre-Windows booting time to 1/3 of what it was on JEDEC? Literally nothing else had changed with my system when this happened.
