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.

I NEED HELP GUYS !

I got all the items and building the rig since morning,
installed the CPU, ram , ssd ,
now im aligning and placing the mobo in the case for some reason the a.o shield is built into the motherboard but i can't align it to the chasis. it's getting me really frustrated. it's either doesn't fit or i can't get it right.

I also plugged in the psu and almost done cable management.


the mb : Asus x470-f gaming with cooler master h500p mesh white


Please help!!

My advice is try to wait to the morning and disasemble all the rig and try to assemble first the MOBO in the chase if it does not fit be shure the screw bolts are aling to the right MOBO size and then try to put the mobo on the place if still not fitting in place move the bolts to aling the Right place Ok?
I know its tedious but better assamble part by part to have the right results...:cool:

Waiting for a replacement mobo Asus x470-F and need some advice/tips about BIOS settings. As I understand the best is to stay with a 4207. For stability, install drivers which comes on a DVD or download the latest from AMD/ASUS website ?
What BIOS settings would you guys recommend for following:

Asus X470-F
Ryzen 2600x
G.Skill Trident Z RGB LED DDR4 3200MHz 2x8GB (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR)
Asus GeForce GTX 1070 Dual OC 2xHDMI 2xDP 8GB
Samsung 970 EVO Plus Series MZ-V7S500BW 500GB

I don't think peripherals are relevant but just in case, there are USB hub (for sharing a keyboard and mouse) and two extern soundcards).

Hi there, I post the latest Chipset and audio Drivers for this card, here is the link for: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1wJ2z5jvb8cS0SZoAor9y7JXKakzylbmR

Thanx for that, so the latest should be the best ? I saw that latest chipset driver is necessary if updating to latest BIOS version which I'm not gonna do, but is it OK for 4207 or is it better to stay with the one included on a DVD ?

How about BIOS settings ? Last time (before updated to 46xx) the only thing I have changed was RAM to D.O.C.P. 3200, everything else was default and a system was stable in about 3 months. After that for some reason it happened twice under the one week (I think) that I've "lost" a mouse and keyboard and needed to turn off a system using a back switch.
Is there anything else I should change in BIOS ?

I have BIOS 4207 and was considering updating to the new BIOS 4602, is there any reason not to?

I would recommend 4207 BIOS, Load Optimized default settings in BIOS and install chipset driver pack from AMD site, then run latest chipset driver install from ASUS site (AsusSetup.exe), choose Accept and Install > Downloaded Install on right > Custom Install to display currently installed driver versions without actually installing them again so you can see if they offer any new updates (hover mouse over each driver to show detailed dialog if up to date). My drivers were up to date from AMD's latest chipset. Don't forget ASMedia and Audio drivers. Audio aren't needed if using video car's audio output connected to surround sound receiver or using USB DAC for headphones. Then change to DOCP in BIOS, setup your fan profiles is using motherboard for fan control, run in Performance Enhancer Auto mode with XFR enabled since have 2X00X model chip, run some Cinebench with HWInfo64 and take note of CPU temps and voltage, then try reducing Vcore and Vsoc voltage offset in BIOS starting with -.05 each, rerun Cinebench and see max temps reduced, adjust lower bit by bit to maybe -0.1 each until Cinebench runs crash then bring voltage offsets back to stable Cinebench runs. Also run Memtest to see that RAM isn't giving any errors.

Here's a very recent video for memory overclocking from Buildzoid, using a different manufacturer's board and Intel chip so settings will differ and name (LLC range may also be reversed from ASUS, not sure) but same methodology applies. Also, go back and read this thread from the start as there is LOADS of great info, including from the OP of the thread regarding LLC settings for this board.
