Aorus X570 Master

[TheLostSwede]

well mine never did 1900 IF its only 1867 for me. Did hope the new board would grant it, but not possible. BTW could you perhaps ask your friends at Gigabyte about the difference between setting multiplier and using the Pstates setting, it seems that all people use the multiplier setting for all core OC - but the Pstates setting is so easy - so whats the difference? If any

New F21 bios - doing testing - and no not able to run IF 1900MHz on this one either
View attachment 164179
Did a test with the same PBO settings and I am running with the 1usmus Power Plan settings in bios as well

Seems stable at the same settings as F20, do not have any SATA so please be aware that there was people with SATA problems on F20 bios

Apparently it's two means to the same end from what I was told.
Note that a lot of settings in the Ryzen motherboard UEFIs are doubled up, as you have the board makers settings and AMD's settings. Things might not be called quite the same things, but the result of the settings end up in the same outcome.
I was also sent this. Not sure if this is helpful or not.

Board swapped, now to wait and see if they can figure out what went wrong...

Well that would be EPYC... but serious it would be nice

My original master actually had the exact same issue, just the power button had the LED on, but the board wouldn't turn on, out of the box (RMA'd got sent a new one)

Regarding my failed X570 aorus master rev 1.0 board. I got a rev 1.1 replacement from amazon, everything works "fine".

However i had a weird issue but it looks like when the board failed it damaged the nvme controller on my 970 evo plus. If you want to learn more let me know, but the controller is basically dead and gets really hot without doing anything (seems to try to initialize on repeat).

I got a replacement 970 from amazon again and works fine. PSA: Backup your drives. Gigabyte needs to get their shit together.

Not having any SSD related issues so that might just have been a fluke incident.

Finally put it back together today.

I guess this is the main difference between 1.0 and 1.1 or 1.2 boards. From what I was told, they've also optimized the memory traces on the newer boards. The 1.2 boards supposedly has an updated "firmware and driver" for the Realtek Ethernet chip, which apparently can't be done on the older revisions for some reason. Not sure what it changes.

 

[Calmmo]

Yep, those

are no longer needed

Has anyone removed the chipset fan/cover? What kinda pads should I get, been wanting to do something to drop the temps there for a while

Well, my board died last night...
Shut down the system after having used it all day, came back 20 minutes later, as I was going to look something up and it wouldn't power on.
I don't even get any digits on the debug display.
Onboard power button lights up, that's it. Press it and it goes dark.
I guess I'm fortunate enough to know some people at Gigabyte, but still frustrating.

That's a known problem on gigabyte x570 board, the master in particular. Remove cmos battery for 15 min, put it on again and then you are ok. Very strange problem...

Unfortunately, you already did RMA, but fortunately, it was quite fast.

Yeah, that's normally how I have sorted it out when it glitched a couple of times in the past. No dice this time around.

I didn't really RMA it, I just got one of my mates at Gigabyte to swap it out for me. Quicker that way... I guess it also helps that I live about a 15 minute drive from their HQ...

after owning many Gigabyte boards I am flabbergasted at this pile of trash. High end board hurt by horrible BIOS and worse AMD Raid. Pair of Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVME army goes critical shows controller issue, swapped drive, same thing. Moved slots same thing, got a pair of Crucial P5 and thought I was clear, but then 1.5 days bam, critical array. I wish I was in my return period, sad thing is very few X570 boards have 3 NVME slots or 2 that are off the chipset.

Damn man..is raid that bad? Cause i want to do RAID 1 on my sata drives..isn't software raid a safer option always?

my SATA drives have worked flawless. Only the M.2 has been a problem. I did update to BIOS F21 and also the latest AMD chipset drivers and the RAID drivers on the Gigabyte site for Windows 2004 May 2020 release. Fingers crossed it has worked now 2 days. This is around the time it usually acts up.I also have 2 SATA SSD in RAID 1 that has been rock solid since day one.

Jesus These X570 Gigabyte boards seem to be a headache, I'm basically using the mini ITX version of this board, main issue I've had since mid last year has been RAM XMP settings, BIOS always resetting itself on startup no matter what I do, don't wanna highjack ya thread, just thought I'd mention it.

 

[TheLostSwede]

I don't think my board had the issue some of you are having, as they apparently got it working. Oddly enough this was after they removed all the shrouding on the board. I never touched any of that, so not sure what the problem is/was.

Don't use XMP on AMD, it's an Intel standard.

Generally it should still work for AMD but like I said, I've tried everything I could think of, done manual settings, new RAM kit, clean OS install ect still no go.

Never had a problem after something like UEFI F7 when it comes to RAM. I also have much cheaper RAM that is not on any QVL, so I ought to be the one having problems...

 

[jesdals]

will say I am very happy with my cheap Patriots Viper 4400MHz kit

Tried a 3600x + gtx970 on the master. Still stuck on x8 pci-e.
Gotta be something wrong with the wiring. So far I've seen it stuck @ x8 with 2 pcie-3 gpus and also x8 on a pcie 2.0 gpu.
Not sure I want to bother RMAing it and having to wait 2 months again like i did with DOA original master i got. The 3600x was from my sister's PC, might just "dump" this master on her PC and grab something else (not sure what) for this system at this point. I do plan on something nvidia 3000, tho maybe after pricing for those is known. (or I guess x670? with zen3 annoucement whenever that happens?)

 

[jesdals]

New bios update with support for new cpus - did you say Ryzen 4000?

 

[Chomiq]

Also for Elite
F30a Update AGESA ComboV2 1.0.8.1 for New Gen AMD Ryzen processors support

And I'm still on F12f.

 

[jesdals]

Seems stable with memory did some gameing, no big difference from latest

Allllllright ,straight question to all Gigabyte x570 Master masters ,would You buy this board again today ? Cos on paper it looks fabulous but do we need all that drama? And by we i mean me

Well if you could settle I would grab the B550 version of the Master, because you get the fanless chipset cooler https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B550-AORUS-MASTER-rev-10#kf
