since BIOS update F31q, my 5950X wont go past 3.6GHz on Multicore, single core can reach 4.8Ghz. temps are around 80 max on 360mm cooler
X570 Aorus Elite
Anyone notice a huge vdroop? Seems related to ram speed/timings 3733 auto timings cl22 1% vdroop, optimal timings CL15 4.5% vdroop, even on a full CB load using LLC ultra extreme still 3.3% 1.163v resulting in 1.125v
Well I see MSI have an AGESA of 1.1.9.0, just waiting for Gigabyte to release one.
However, one small problem, I have a Gigabyte X570 Master rev 1.0 motherboard, on the link on the first page, it doesnt specify which revision of board those bioses are for ???? it seems motherboards 1.1 and 1.2 are compatible with each other, but on the Gigabyte website, there is still a seperate page for owners of the rev 1.0 board.
I don't know--my x570 Master cold boots take ~10 seconds. Hopefully you are running bios F31. I'm running a 3900X, however. I installed Win10 UEFI to a GPT drive, CSM disabled--for the last 18 months on this motherboard--without difficulty (I have revision 1.0). However, I will note that AGESAs for Zen 3 are still immature compared to those for Zen 2--understand that they are separate architectures altogether. I would advise flashing to F31 if you aren't already there. My bios doesn't run slowly, etc. I run system at 4k, no problems at all. Running Win10 2004 b20270 (an official beta build.)

Board revisions are tiny and relate to a header on the 1.1/1.2 for Thunderbolt 3 interfaces. All bios versions are compatible with all revisions. I don't have/want Thunderbolt so in my x570 Master rev 1.0 bios settings I disable it...;) I doubt it would matter if I didn't--but I don't like to run hardware resources if I'm not using them--which in my case includes bluetooth & the Intel wireless LAN--disabled in the device manager since these devices don't have separate bios controls. I'm also running the RealTek LAN without any dropouts for many weeks now, I'm glad to say--I disable the Intel LAN in the bios.
I am current waiting for an X570 Master to be shipped out to me. It looks like AMD has really screwed things up for the motherboard manufactures as gigabyte is not the only one having issues. Is there another motherboard manufacturer that might be a safer bet? They all seem messed up. Should I stick with Master? Looking to build 5950x and 128GB 3200C16 RAM, 3090 FTW3 Ultra for my father. I don't want him to deal with random reboots and slower startups/performance. Maybe I should return everything and build a Threadripper instead.
Hi
I am new, but do follow this thread since 3 weeks now. First I wish everybody a great and happy new year. I have bought a new system beginning of december including a x570 master (rev. 1.2), 5900x, 32 GB 3200 mhz cl14 DDR4, 2gb pcie4 m2 and a 3080 master. The RAM is from my old system using a 2700x and a x470 from MSI (never having any trouble with that old system).
I have to say this is the worst PC experience I had in 25 years building PCs, tested now all bios versions (including all the beta bios) in default and manual edited and non of them is stable in gaming. I get either rebots or WHEA errors. They are stable in idle and I can run forever benchmarks for cpu and gpu, but as soon as I start a 3d game an error sooner or later occurs! I do have no temperature issues whatsoever! I did dig in quit heavily and it seems that Gigabyte is mainly effected from the boardpartners, still also users utilizing boards from other brands are effekted. Now I am at the point to be really pissed, buying a high price MB to play betatester for gigabyte (and AMD) is not my "job". I can accept that with OC it would be my problem, but in default mode (even not using XMP) the system has to work. If this is not solved soon I will send this junk of a Board back to GB with a nice comment and buy another brand and never ever buy again anythink from GB. I have several friends, not to speak of all the members in my usal PC forum in germany, having similar systems (without a GB MB) without any problems. GB is now a jok already there because of all the customers having trouble, one of the founders even said he has a x570 extreme but never uses it because it is so badly supported.
Sorry I do not really want to be so pissed, infact I hope somebody can help me fix this, because I originally bought the x570 master because is was mainly reviewed positive (when it came out). As I said tested all bios versions, some are more stable than other. So far, 31j and the "final" 31 were best. So somebody know what settings need to be set to have it stable?
Since everything is running fine until you fire up a game, it sounds much like a PSU problem. I've been running my x570 Master (1.0) for 18 months--love the mboard. No Whea errors, not a single unplanned reboot--and I cold boot the system daily. I have zero temp issues--I find SIV all I need to control my Noctua fans. I'm running XMP 3733MHz 4x8 GB Patriot Viper Steel DIMMs. 18 months ago for a couple of months there were some problems, but that was only because the AGESA's from AMD contained in the bios versions were immature--my 3900X was a brand new CPU architecture then. Right now, the situation for Zen 3 is similar in that the AGESAs are still teething, more or less. (Zen 3 is *not* Zen 2 on steroids...;) It's a wholly different architecture.) However, that doesn't sound like your problem at all. People think all they have to do is pay attention to the wattage number with PSU--nope, got to look at the amps--especially on the 12v rail. Keep in mind that even with the appropriate amps on the 12v rails, I've seen instances where people have replaced 1000-watt PSUs with an 850W PSU and their problems vanished. I've got maybe ~300 games installed over > 8 TBs of storage--and I don't have your problems. So it isn't the motherboard, at all, rest assured. x570 Master is, I think, the best mboard I've owned in the last 35 years of buying them...;) People are so quick to say "It's the mboard," or "It's the GPU," when it could well be neither. Bios F31 is where you ought to be if you aren't their yet. With all due respect to your friends in Germany, they don't seem to know what they are talking about--at least from my perspective.
I would also have added ram problems in timings & MHz to the list of candidates which force reboots and bios resets commonly--but you say you are having these problems even when XMP is disabled. Still, it could *be* that a chip on one of your ram DIMMs is defective--I had that happen years ago--took forever to find the culprit. Run a memory checker for 24 hours to see what pops up. When I had that problem--a 6-hour run showed nothing--but an overnight run revealed the problem.
Listening to some people you don't know from Adam isn't the best way to learn...;) I think sometimes that people want to hear about other people having problems because they seem to ignore every post they read by someone who is having a nice, positive experience...;) Here's my hardware, in case this might help in some way:
Believe me when I say if the mboard was even close to what you say it is I'd have scrapped it months ago. I'll say again--your problem is elsewhere. BTW, I went to the mboard from an MSI x470, myself, because MSI put up a beta bios on its *main site*--not their beta site--and said it was OK--and it bricked my system! First time in more than three decades that has happened to me. I'm very glad I went with this x570 Master. I think it is the best mboard buy on the market right now.
If you are not already on F31 then you should be, but you need to begin by investigating your other components as you definitely have a problem elsewhere, imo. Listening to people who may not know as much as you do, or very possible know much less than you do, won't get you very far. I learned that lesson decades back...;) Good luck--hope you can find out what the problem actually is.

Yeah, I'm on F31, and as I mentioned, I've done a GPT windows install with an NVME ssd, CSM disabled, Ultra Fast, etc. Your cold boot time is what I'd expect, circa 10 seconds or so. Is the windows loading circle the correct resolution when you cold boot? For whatever reason, I can't upload a picture of the 360p resolution when I get to the Aorus Logo and the eventual Windows login screen. I thought it might be the GPU, but I'm on the latest drivers, I don't know if I need to change something in the BIOS to compensate for the 3080, or if it really just is a byproduct of being on Zen 3

Im on F31Q from the Gigabyte website, I was using an MSI X570 ACE up until recently, had a bit of an accident with it and needed to buy a new board, I thought id go for the Gigabyte Master instead this time around, that boot logo and screen took me by surprise, big an blocky, very low resolution, nothing like the MSI boot screen which was being displayed in a nice resolution, small, clean and tight, I spent ages going through menus and sub menus of sub menus of sub menus lol in the Gigabyte bios seeing if there was someway to change it.
I dont use fast boot at all, just makes it that much harder to get into the bios when I want to make any adjustments, infact even with it switched to fast, the only way I could get into the bios was to boot to windows and use the update & security > recovery > boot to UEFI firmware settings option to get into my bios, my keyboard wasnt initializing fast enough during post to allow me to get into the bios, I have it plugged into the USB 3.1 ports in the back of the PC along with my mouse.

I believe you can use the Gigabyte Face-Wizard to change the bootup logo. It's an option in the "@BIOS" app.
Realtek have a new driver version for 2.5gbe controller.
It's from 31.12.2020
I installed it, let's see if it helps with random connection loss. If not.. I think it's easier to buy usb ethernet adapter :\
@Waltc: It is not a PSU Problem! The one I use is a new Seasonic px 850w. Otherwise I could not run benchmarks that long with max. power drawn from both cpu and gpu. I would not have bought the master if I thought it bad in the beginning. It has good features and now that it is working I like it!
At least I found a solution, disabeling PBO and man. oc the cpu with a fixed voltage. Now I am free of any WHEA erros since two days of extended gaming. This clearly indicates to me that there is a problem with voltage regulation in combination with PBO, which would explain WHEA (because they are correlated often to voltage).
I hope this will be fixed with the new agesa and new bios versions. Still there are some bugs related to usb (led on my keyboard somethimes do not turn off after shutdown of the pc) and my m.2 pcie4 (windows is installed there but not recognised, but available if another windows is installed on another drive) but they are minor and not braking the system.
