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.

Thanks for being much more polite about this than I would have been. It seems like almost every other motherboard in the 4xx series has gotten a 1.0.0.3ABB update by now except ours. Why doesn't Asus have more BIOS engineers?

Keep in mind that this AMD Zen 2 release probably requires a huge amount more work than normal. Maybe it's hard for them to find someone qualified to work on their BIOS for a short term of a few months?

Who knows?

ciao, scrivo dall'italia

possiedo questa scheda madre, come processore il ryzen 2700x, aio corsair h115i pro e ram gskill 2x8 3200 cl16

mi consigliate il miglior bios da installare e i settaggi per farlo rendere? grazie

Bios 5007 l'ultimo non serve con la serie che hai tu metti tutto in auto tranne Vcore del processore con offset negativo circa -0.05 fai delle prove per essere stabile e attiva il PBO niente di più.
Per le ram usa il Dram Calculator e vedi se sei stabile a 3200 con i settaggi fast altrimenti fai un pò di prove ma altro non farei vanno benissimo cosi e non ti complichi la vita piu di tanto come fanno in molti qua 😛

Check your frequency, I am guessing it is not throttling down or often, its an issue for me too, but I use five powershell commands to fix it, make sure you are on the balanced plan and do not have performance all the way up in the W10 slider:

Powercfg.exe -setacvalueindex scheme_current sub_processor PERFINCPOL 2
Powercfg.exe -setacvalueindex scheme_current sub_processor PERFDECPOL 1
Powercfg.exe -setacvalueindex scheme_current sub_processor PERFINCTHRESHOLD 70
Powercfg.exe -setacvalueindex scheme_current sub_processor PERFDECTHRESHOLD 50
Powercfg.exe /setactive scheme_current

You can set the 70 and 50 to something you are more comfortable with, but what this does is increases the checks to increase or lower the processor frequency, and then tells it to only go up to max at 70% on a core, and drop back down a state when under 50, then the last line "sets" it. This will only change it for the power plan you are currently on. Before I had it my CPU would stay at 4350 (2700x) and 45-50C, never downclocking or lowering the voltage. Now it stays around 40-29C depending on activity and constatnly lowers the voltage.

Yes your right my frequency stays around 4300 and hardly ever throttles down. how and where do i input those commands?

Sorry for the late reply, I was on vacation.

Just open an admin PowerShell window (hit Win+X then select "Windows Powershell (admin)")

You can toy around with the timings too to get it where you want.

Also, if you look at your power options (for W10v1903) there should be a slider for performance like on a laptop. This OVERRIDES any other settings you might have, so ensure that the slider is on better performance, not maximum performance. This may seem counter-intuitive, but the maximum performance peggs your cores at the max speed they allow with your current cooling solution.

For example right now with it on better performance, I am at 2.2 Ghz on each core, .75v, 22.8w power, temp is 33-28c. As soon as I flip that to max performance, it goes to 4350 to 4250 constant, 50v, 1.3v. Temps 44-38c. I have found no real difference in synthetic tests like Cinebench all within Margin of Error.

with temps here at 103F/40C outside, I don't want ot keep my AC crannked to 74/24c, so I keep it on better performance with those Powershell/Powercfg tweaks.

Hey guys, so I am on 4207 running stable with a minor undervolt. What the best and most stable bios of late that I should update to? I saw there's a lot of debate going on about the latest bioses having higher vcore and stuff.

hello everyone im trying to recover my bricked mobo with a flasher but i doesnt seem to work, can someone give a backup of a working bios? sorry for my bad english

So I have the 2700x and the X470-F. Updated it (stupidly enough) to the 5204. I was getting errors on my RAM at stock speeds 2400mhz. Now I updated the BIOS again to 5204 and it boots with no issues at 2400mhz with no errors at memtest. If I OC to 3000mhz which was my previous OC, Windows goes BSOD. If I run memtest I get like 20 errors on just the first test....I can't even boot at 3200mhz!

RAM is Ballistix Gaming 32GB Kit (2x16) BLS2K16G4D32AESB - They are set at 1.35v.

EDIT: Contacted CRUCIAL about it, they recommended removing the battery for a few minutes. Did it and RAM runs stock without errors but still can't OC like I used to. Fk ASUS with the BIOS Updates. It worked fine on 4602....damn you ASUS

You aren’t running a Ryzen 2 CPU, why don’t you just downgrade the BIOS to the last version before they added Matisse support?

Explicitly said if you ain’t having problems with your version, to not upgrade if you aren’t planning on running a Matisse chip.

Yeah I updated because I thought it would allow me to get my memory to 3200mhz, above the 3000mhz I was getting. I even flashed back and didn't work. Memories are getting errors now, so I decided to RMA them.

Is there a setting or reason why I cant get Ryzen Master to see my EDC at anything but 145A? In BIOS it shows the right value(360A) but in Ryzen Master it always shows incorrect.
