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.

Guys it's a quick tutorial I have made to fix the fan speed fluctuation issue with 4xxx series bios on this mobo. Those who are facing this issue may check this out,

I put my fanspeed CPU on manual and since then, no more fan issues.

When is this bios coming? Feels like to me it's never coming, they already made one for CH7, surely can't be that hard once you have the foundation of the bios already done, something tells me asus are abandoning this motherboard. I hope i'm wrong.

Just built my sytem with specs below:

Ryzen 2700x
Asus Strxi X470-F with 4011 bios
gskill 3000mhz 4x4 Samsung E-Die Ram
512 SSD
Radon rx580 x 2
750W gold psu

The problem i have with this system is the random micro stutter/hang/freeze for maybe 10 seconds and it will be normal after that. it doest happen often but it does when i am playing games. i am currently using XMP profile and oc'ing my ram to 3200 (regardless at what speed i have it 2888,3000 etc ) i will have the issue. Just wondering if this is a bios or a windows issue? I notice the board is not very stable sometimes i get errors or things not reading properly in the motherboard bios if i have lock up/freeze. Just wondering if anyone is having these kinds of issues. Temps according to amd master is good like low 30's to high 60's but even then i am not sure how accurate it is because hwmonitor and hwinfo shows a little higher under load. I hope asus will come out with a new bios to fix all these issues.

Come on Asus!
Don't make me regret coming back! This board needs a new BIOS desperately!:mad::mad:

I just blew a heap of cash on some nice fast B-die (no, it's not on the QVL, but it's still damned B-die and it's only stable at 2866 on my Ryzen 1600! I got better than that with an MSI B350 using Hynix AFR on the same CPU!

Like I said in an earlier post, it looks like ASUS have abandoned this board, they released a new bios for the CH7 board ages and ages ago, yet this board sits here with nothing, no updates, bioses, absolutely nothing. It does not take that long to move the bios to this board once you made it. Clearly they are ignoring us owners of this board.

I also have temperature issues with this board. I traded a Prime X470-Pro for this one and i had way better temps with the first one using the same exact system, but it seems to me it's not a case of high temps but a case of wrong readings from the sensor on the board. I have a corsair h105 and just hanging on window I have like 60º/70ºC if I put my hand on the radiator the thing is not that hot and the air coming from the back fan of my case is cold.

"I have like 60º/70ºC" - where it is coming from? which monitor u r using to check this? what is your room ambient temp?
I am even not using 4011. I am with 4008 without any single issue so far. However from the posts it seems that the auto is not that good for this mobo.

Well i use CAM with a GRID+ to controll fans, but i also checked my temps on HWinfo and Ryzer Master and they are consistent.

I also tried a fixed 4ghz@1.28v, the temps are better but not that much like 5º to 8º C, with a 4.1ghz@1.38v i have the same exact temps as if im in auto.

Definitely something is wrong if y r getting 60-70C at 4.1ghz@1.38v idle. I shall post the details of my settings and power plan. My room temp is 28-30C when my idle remains at 37-42C under stress max hits 75-76C. 39x @ 1.33 however my LLC is a bit high.
