Asus Strix X470-F Gaming owners thread

[AniChatt]

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.

Hey Guys so i contacted Asus about the chipset drivers not being up for our motherboards, and since they couldnt find it they made it into high priority. Today they contacted me about it and now the chipset drivers are up on their website.

I hope everyone realizes that AMD's AM4 Chipset drivers haven't been updated since October of last year. There's literally no reason to download the Chipset drivers from the ASUS website.

A bunch of drivers inside ASUS package are slightly newer. I think SMbus and another one.

hwinfo shows 99.80 MHz @bus clock even though I have spread spectrum disabled in BIOS 4207.
reading error? BIOS bug?

i made some changes in bios and tried undervolting but saw little to no change.. debating if i should just go with a different motherboard to avoid the hassle.

Mine does the same on 4024 (SS disabled), I guess it's common to this board and the sister x470 pro at least.

Hi there the Chipset Drivers for this X470 Platform are the same for the Bolton Chipset AMD Platform, the SMBUS and the SAta Controller are the same as Bolton ones, that's why the latest AMD Drivers are from 2017, the Microsoft WHQL ones are from 2018, but as I said on a previous release of my Drivers compile, the Microsoft WHQL are less accurated on performance than the AMD ones the Drivers delivered by the Microsoft update tool, are 15% less effective on performance, because are general compiled drivers from 2015, signed by microsoft not the AMD latest released for this type of platform so thats why I was doing this release of Drivers, please try this ones and see the difference... :cool:

Downloading drivers, any files, from someone's google drive is not necessary in 2019, or ever. No matter how helpful someone is trying to be it's an unsafe practice.

Yeah, and furthermore I'd stay away from "tools" like driver magician, driver overlord or however they're named.
