Asus Strix X470-F Gaming owners thread

Hello guys, I am starting this thread for all Stix X470-F owners to discuss their overclock settings, issues etc. So that everyone get help quickly in a organised way. Installed my old 1600x in this mobo with 4011 bios and flareX 3200 with default docp and it works just fine without any issues so far. One thing to mention The board pushes 1.15v soc default docp profile. Is it normal seems a bit high for me as I have upgraded from B350-F gaming.
However a small issue I believe, the asus lighting control is not behaving normal. I mean just after login to windows it is taking a bit time to start (5min) before that if I try to on Lighting Control by clicking it, program crash window appears after few seconds. But when it starts on it's own then I can open asus lighting control. Anyone experiencing similar issue???
Also tried to use older version.

look at previos page there are 2 links one of them for the tool that make backup of serial number of ur motherboard mac adress and uuin flashing stock bios according to the overclock guide will erase those values. u need to download program FD44Editor and modify bios that u downgrade for
so back up those 3 values at first.
basically, you're gonna flash a stock bios at first and overwrite those numbers.
right after this you're gonna flash a modified/personalized bios and get those values back.

download the stock bios and extract it (.cap)
create a copy of the 4207.cap and rename it (something like 4207mod.cap)
download FD44Editor
open 4207mod.cap with FD44Editor
write those 3 values into the bios and save(overwrite the copied bios that you just opened) that bios - it should be 4207mod.bin afterwards
enable file extensions in the explorer and change .bin to .rom
put both bios (4207.cap and 4207mod.rom) on the USB drive as described in the overclock guide
boot into bios and load default/optimized settings
reboot into bios again
boot from usb
follow the overclock guide
flash the stock .cap bios at first (Afuefix64 4207.cap /P /B /N /K /X /CLRCFG)
flash the modified/personalized bios (Afugan 4207mod.rom /GAN)
reboot -> load optimized settings;
CMOS reset can't hurt either
done!


it appeared ROM file information does not match system BIOS do you continue to flsh? YES/NO

Yes

I know this has already been discussed multiple times, but has anyone figured out to lower the cpu temps on this motherboard? at first i thought it was my cooler not working, so i reapplied thermal paste and reseated the cooler to make sure it was completely tightened. temps were slightly better but still idling in between the 50s and occastionlly jump to 60. i have a friend with the same exact build but with an aorus x470 motherboard, and he idles in the 30s. I thought i just got a bad cpu but then i came arcoss this thread with many others having the same issue. any recommendations?

Thanks in advance..

Are you using windows balanced power plan? If not do so to have your cores and voltage go down while idling. If you're using high performance mode this could cause your high idling temp due to voltage.

I did have it at the ryzen balanced but I noticed the CPU stays boosted so I changed it to windows balanced, so now it just jumps around but temps are still the same.

As far as I can tell this board just has very high default voltages. My temps use to be in the 50s on idle before I made some changes. All I had to do is set PE to default, PBO settings manually to 1000/114/168 (which is the same as PE auto on 4207 and earlier biosses if I'm not mistaken) and a -0.1v cpu offset.

These are my idle temps now

Were there any performance decrease with these changes? Also what's your setup? I'm running a ryzen 7 2700x gskill trident 3200mhz with a kraken x62 aio. Also I'm still in a earlier bios which is 4018. Havnt updated cuz I cant find the chipsets needed to update bios.

hm, can't find them either atm. there might be an updated chipset package around the corner.

download hwinfo and check your idle voltage.
temp spikes are normal. thats how ryzen works.

There is no performance decrease since it is essentially nothing more than an undervolt. All core is 4.15GHz, single core is 4.35Ghz. The only reason I used the manual PBO settings is because in the latest bios the Performance Enhancement (PE) setting all of a sudden had different PBO values than the biosses before. In your bios you should achieve the same with performance enhancement on auto and a -0.075v to -0.125v cpu offset (I think most cpus can do atleast -0.075v). Im running a 2700x with 3200MHz Corsair ram and a Corsair H115i Pro

Also here's the lastest official chipset driver which I downloaded on april 8th. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AoIpmNCxLXQKgfB15x-dBw_pkB5GiQ (hope I did the permissions right)
