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.

2 hours? do you save and reboot after every single change?:p

lol these ASUS bios menus have so many menus and submenus that it takes awhile to get through. I might have exagerrated a bit about the 2 hours, more like 90 minutes or so 😛 I do have to reboot twice because there's always this weird error the first time I boot though, and I have to go back into BIOS and change a setting which for some reason doesn't save the first time, it has something to do with boot devices. The first time I boot up it asks me for a boot device I dont have and I have to re-enter BIOS and disable that. It happens every time I install a new BIOS and try to change the settings for some reason. The first time it happened I was scared and thought I corrupted my BIOS somehow but now it's old hat and easy to fix, just a little inconvenient lol.

Well 5220 worked just fine, went to 5406 and the issue is back, maybe is some problem with this bios and my ram.

I was wondering if anyone noticed there's no option for mem OC retry count. I had a gigabyte b350 gaming 3 and I had the option to have the system reset if overclocks were incorrect. Is that an option on this board? I swear it used to be.

With bios 5406 I got no improvements in PBO and lost memory(Micron E-die) stability. I returned to 5220.

Anybody still running a 2000 series cpu
Updated to the recent bios and chipset drivers noticing if they are or aren't getting any better performance?

Hello Crosslhs82_ ,
Sadly I am not running my 2600 on this MB so I can't help with this BUT it's always good to see you trying to improve the performance of your 2700x.

I did however flash BIOS Version 5406 and install the 1usmus Power Plan for my 3700x.
I didn't see any performance gains over BIOS 5220, but I didn't see any performance loss either.
As far as RAM OCing goes I was able to get my G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB (F4-3600C16D-16GVKC) up to 3733 MHz 16-19-19-19-38-58 with IF at 1867.
And with BIOS Version 5220 my RAM was limited to it's XMP/DOCP speeds of 3600.

I Have one of my systems still functioning with a 2700x, and this MB. They stopped making updates for 2000 series around 4804, with from my research here saying that 4207 is probably the best. The problem is getting back to that bios... its doable, there are directions in this thread that show how. It entails making a bootable USB, and DOS utility to flash back, because the EZFlash built into the BIOS won't flash back that far.

Hi Guys
Thanks for responding And Welcome Here Dmann it's good to see you here.
So as I was trying to hope for the best but sadly it sounds as though the updates aren't going to do too much.
So ya i will stay where I have it Oc'd to 4.125ghz ( a .025 more DM no more voltage) and proceed with my plan Which Dmann you are already aware of.
For those that don't I plan on getting a 3600x or 3700x prices depending and a b450 mobo and update this one then put the 2600x on the b450 with my
G.skill Flare x 3200 cl14 B-dies on it and put it in my son's upgrading his Fx-8350.
Seeing how I don't want to mess around with the bios even with the Best step By Step instructions this seems to me be the easiest thing to do not messing anything up and getting him a upgrade also at the same time.
Then My specs would be:
3600x/3700x ? and the G.skill Trident Z Royal Gold 3600 cl16 Samsung b-dies which is running on here Now.

for those wondering how I got the 3600 to run was
3600 Rdc Fast settings even though in bios the timings are 14 14 15 14 28 42 @1.45v soc 1.08250
Proc 60
Rtt_nom off/ disabled
Rtt_wr Dynamic off
Rtt_park Auto
and the 4 Cad Bus's set on auto

also my last firestrike run

Thanks Again for Responding Guys
Happy Holidays and Safe Travel's

Hi people, please check what Headphone Impedace Sensing does Realtek Audio Console show after you set your headphones inbuilt volume controller to low volume and reboot your PC?

Tried the latest bios before but downgraded, Any bios after 4804 no longer has PE3,PE4 also noticed I would get much lower cinebench15 scores however they do have better memory stability and also higher allcore idle with slightly higher voltage from my experience
