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.

Updating the driver NOT the solution.

The problem is that in some situations where a client machine is connected via some specific Optical Network Terminals (LIKE VERIZON FIOS and CABLE PROVIDERS THAT HAVE SWITCHED TO FIBER and use ONTs), and data is appended after the packet checksum, the network adapter can drop receive packets when using TCP-IPv6 Checksum Offload for receive traffic. This damn NIC was killing my whole Fios home network and causing ALL my computer to experience slow connections or disconnect and then after leaving it on too long just turning off this PC was not good enough I had to also reboot my Fios router to get everyone back up and running. So the REAL solution is to...

Disable TCP-IPv6 Checksum Offload using Windows Device Manager. For each Intel 1 GbE and 10 GbE adapter:
a. Go to the Properties page and select the Advanced tab.
b. In the Advanced tab, scroll until you find TCP Checksum Offload (IPv6) and click on that.
c. The Value field should show Rx & Tx Enabled. Use the selection box and change the Value to
be Disabled.
d. Click on OK to save and apply the change.

Also I downloaded the Intel Drivers for this NIC as they were more up to date than what Asus was offering.

If you don't believe me this issue is already recognized and documented by Intel for the intel i211 gigabit Ethernet adapter.

Hello everyone,

I just bought a new Asus PCE-AXE58BT WiFi 6E adapter. I was very excited to get it into my PC. I installed it, hooked up the included usb cable to a usb header, and turned on my computer to check everything out. But I couldn't find the WiFi card in windows to connect to my modem. So, I hooked up an ethernet cable and downloaded the drivers. Restarted my computer and still nothing. It's a pretty new model WiFi card so I couldn't find anything really about this issue specifically. Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong? I'm at a loss, I've got no idea why but it as if the card isn't even installed. I can't find it anywhere in windows. Can anyone help?

Also, as a separate issue, I need to make some bios adjustments so I can download Windows 11 and my damn PC boots up so fast I can't get into it. Does anyone know how I can access bios without restarting my PC and mashing the F2 key? Is there any other way?

Thanks in advance

Hold shift and click restart in Windows, then follow the prompts until you get to UEFI startup. Delete is also the key I used to get into BIOS.

Just out of interest those that have overclocked what cpu speeds are you getting? My mate has the same hardware as me apart from his motherboard is the x470-f and he can only get a max boost speed of 4.1ghz anymore and system crashes, yet im running the older x370-f and can run at 4.5ghz stable and if i dont run stress test can run at 4.6ghz.

Ok I have tested it with 3400Mhz at 18-18-18-18-38 timing rest default and 1.37v at 2x8GB config. During stress test it is not shoing error but the screen goes blank with mouse pointer for few seconds and recovers on it's own. So I think it means the stress test putting so much pressure on the IMC of this CPU that it facing difficulty to show/refresh screen properly. That means it will be better for me to back off from 3400 right? What is your thought?

Between 3200 at 14-14-14-32 vs 3400 18-18-18-38 what is better? I have seen same CB R15 result for these two setting so It is compensating each other (frequency vs. timing) I believe right?

So far my CPU is stable at 39.25x at 1.40v and RAM at 3200 in 4x8GB almost default timing and reduced SoC voltage of 1.10 - 0.0250.

With HCI memtest for very long run say 4hr+ I have not seen error in between but the problem is after this much long stress test the display is not recovering only the free moving pointer on the screen. I do keep my monitor shut down during test and not continuously monitoring it. Any clue how to overcome this issue? However the Intel burn test is not showing any instability for 30 high runs. I don't like Prime95 any more since it takes to much time compared to IBT to find instability.

This board sets default SOC at 1.15 in auto DOCP which is not required. SO far tested at 1.08 and found issue. I will reduce it further and update. What stability others are getting at which voltage?

[AniChatt]

OK so far my system is stable and I am think to make a video on it what setting and stress test I am using.

have you made this video? i would be happy to view it

Did anyone notice a significant CPU temp increase when going from BIOS 0225 to 4008 or 4011? For me, load temps have gone from ~65°C to well above 80 when I flashed one of the 40xx BIOSes. Settings are in all cases default, except for configuring DOCP for 3200MHz RAM. The current HWinfo confirms those temps for Tdie, and I can't for the life of me figure out why they go up.
Flashing back to 0225 brings back the lower temps as well, and I cannot see any significant changes in benchmark results between the bios versions.

Yes me!!!! This was what my first post in this thread was about, not just the temps, but also the crazy voltage jumps have shot up too. Like you my cinebench run would max temp out at around 65c, as soon as I flash any of the 4xxx bioses onto the MB my cinebench temps are now 80-85c. Funniest part about the whole thing is regardless of the huge leap in temperature, the cinebench score stil comes back exactly the same as it did with the 0225 bios.
