Aorus X570 Master

But Tech Jesus was first... On Ryzen 5000...

Mainstream techtube firsts are all that matter. Who even reads them text based contents? Aint nobody got time fo' dat.

Gamersnexus was seeing up to 8-10% benefit with just 3200 CL14 4x8GB which I found pretty impressive.

Are there still issues with these boards dying? Was planning to get the Aorous Ultra but now i’m having second thoughts. May go Asus instead.

Hard to say I have 1 in a box waiting for a 5950X that died in May and another that's been running for 10 months with a 3700X no issues but the ultra is a different board with different vrm and a different voltage controller.

I'm guessing you're thinking about the Ultra Vs the Strix E. I like the Strix more than the Ultra personally.

I've helped with 2 Strix E based builds one 3600 and one 3900X and liked them a lot. I also really liked the Unify in the same price range.

The revision 1.1 and 1.2 boards shouldn't have any issues. I doubt that many boards died. I had issues, but apparently not the same as others so...
I doubt you'd end up with a 1.0 board now.

Bought my ultra pretty much on release. No problems with it, knock on wood.

My 1.0 still runs.

My 1.0 still runs.

Yeah, I don't know what happened with my board, it just wouldn't power on all of a sudden. They got it working again after I got it swapped out, so it was clearly not the same issue as some people have had here.
They did some design changes to the later revisions though, so they clearly discovered something, beyond adding the Thunderbolt 3 header.

Is anyone else on the latest 1100C BIOS (F31e for Master I think) and not finding RGB Fusion anywhere in the BIOS? Did they remove BIOS RGB controls somewhere between combo1002 and combo1100C AGESA? Or am I just tripping and it hasn't been a thing ever on 500-series boards?

I never thought I'd actually want RGB back but it actually helps a lot in determining if a memory OC actually manages to POST bc the LEDs come on after POST process completes, and the ITX boards don't have debug LEDs. Don't wanna install bloatware in Windows just to do it though.

Controls were never available in bios.

Any one with the new 5000 series cpu and the 6800/6900 cards please post the bios settings for smart mem

 

[MaurizioC]

Hi all, would you advice me to buy this motherboard over MSI Unify X570?

Depends, if you want a workable UFEI, then yes. The rest comes down to what features you want.

The reason i bought the Aorus Master back then was due to that video of Buildzoid.
I did have an issue a couple of weeks ago after switching the cpu from 3600 to 5900x, might be related or unrelated (sometimes the ram led or vga led would lit up and sometimes the board would go into recovery and manage). In the end i tried CS, and the German helpdesk replied and told me to send the board, which i did.

Couldn't wait so i bought another Aorus master rev 1.2 this time (strangely for a higher price than the first one). As the dual bios and fault finding codes did help.
Had to update the bios via the white usb port without cpu though as it was not booting with the cpu mounted.

In retrospect i would have bought an Aorus Ultra instead as it is much more sensible choice for the price and is basicly the same board.
(the delivery was almost a week compared to the master, and in this covid times a week can easily become two)

Bios navigating wise Buildzoid is right Asus is much more user friendly.

Mine died again, battery out, 30mins later its working again.

 

[jesdals]

F31j works fine on non 5000 series cpus - got some nice all core boost

 

[jesdals]

Finally... and testing with F31j bios

Mounted and exited to see if my Noctua D15-SE can keep its cool....

Testing with the same Infinity settings at 1867MHz

Theres litteraly no gain in gaming benchmark of Division 2

Besides the CPU usage the difference as an average of 5 runs is marginal

Will do some more testing before changeing Infinity fabric to 1900MHz (if possible)

Temps after 1 hour is above what I would like but the paste have to settle first, boost clocks are interesting though

I am currently using the 1umus Powerplan but will try with the windows ryzen

 

[tabascosauz]

@jesdals very lucky sample there, best core is Core 0. That's something you don't see every day. That'll certainly top the CPU-Z bench results.

There's a new beta HWInfo for better Zen3 reporting, 6.35.

 

[jesdals]

Setting PBO specifik values does nothing good for boost just as with my 3800x

The Multi thread score dropped to 11xxx level with PBO fixed in the bios, and raised again with just enableing it and rest set to auto
Boost clocks seems the same with the Windows Ryzen max performance plan as the 1umus powerplan

Had to loosen my memory timings to get 1900MHz stable goint to test some more before next 1933MHz step

 

[TheLostSwede]

Looks like there will be a little while yet until the proper AGESA comes out for the 5000-series.

It seems that I hit a Infinity wall again, this time its not possible to go past 1900MHz. I have tried 1933, 1966 and 2000MHz, with all the trickery I could pull out

Btw no gaming advantage running 1900MHz

I’m not a gamer so maybe I read it wrong but shouldn’t your next update be a faster GPU? You seem to be doing OK on the CPU side . Did you new CPU improve FPS at all?

 

[jesdals]

No FPS improvement, but lack of 3090´s made me wait and I am now aiming at a 6900XT even hopeing for a Asus Rog version with watercooling

Buildzoid is also hitting the 1900MHz wall on the B550 Aorus Master Ryzen 9 5950X + Gigabyte B550 Aorus Master - YouTube

Stranded at 1900MHz. I am testing Soc Votage at 1150, VDDG CCD at 900 and VDDG IOD 950. PBO enabled (but no other settings)

Testing with Cinebench R20 single core was all over the place

With single speeds between 3,2GHz and 4,9

Did some CPUz all core stress test and hitting 87c all core still was above 4,2GHz for more than 15 minutes.

R20 all core took it up to 90c and cores startet to drop below 4,2ghz - did some BLCK 100.2 testing but not stable at 1900MHz, but 100.02 did run with ok boost timings - but would recommend 100 over auto
