Asus Strix X470-F Gaming owners thread

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 would say a Noctua NH-15 would be good but AIO or WC loop would be better. As far a VRMs the board will most likely be fine with good airflow. Its rated for 360A max output. A 3900X puts out 142w full load which even if it was pulling 1.5v under load would be 210-215A. But the 3000 series chips under full load are about 1.35-1.38v all core which is 190-195A. So just over half the max out put of the board.

3950X will be full load 240A range at worst, which is 65% of max output. But in all reality if your running 16 core at full load for long periods of time then you should be investing in a Threadripper system. And I would say no to OC the 3950X on this board.

I found this video very interesting. Its not all about how much the VRM can handle, but about how well the heat is dissipated as well. The VRM may be able to do 360w, but if its getting too hot, you'll run into thermal throttling. That being said, my 2700x requires much more wattage than my 3800x does, nearly twice the amount of power. last I checked 16cores/2 = 8, or the 3800x, vs the 3950x so maybe its fine.

Thats something I was wondering about since I have a 2700X, how much more wattage does a 3950X require and how much more heat does it generate than a 2700X? What about comparing the 2700X vs the 3900X?

Man, you have 3 years of free service, so even if your pc case has no good airflow in it and you load your 3950X with LinX 24/7 and the motherboard dies - you will probably get it replaced for free anyway. And if you did want a cool VRM - you should've gone for Crosshair Hero.
So I wouldn't worry about that. And if your pc case has at least decent airflow and you only play games and occasionally encode videos - I really doubt the motherboard won't handle that just fine. And if you use your PC for professional rendering - you should've had enough money to buy a better motherboard at least.

tl;dr don't worry.

HI,
I have trouble with USB 3.1 the Speed is 20mb or not working at all. Is there any chipset firmware upgrade or any fix for it?

Heres your answer for water cooling 3950X

@qpens8:
Uninstall your asmedia drivers(if you had them manually installed before) and then install "pure" asmedia drivers (1.16.59.1) from there

I hope it's worth the wait.

No it's not 😛
Here 1usmus tests AGESA 1.0.0.4B and Windows still knows nothing about favored cores, so 1usmus was forced to create his own power plan to may be try and fix that.
For now I'm obviously able to test it only with AGESA 1.0.0.3ABBA which for me does not have the CPPC Preferred Cores option, I used his custom power plan on the latest Windows which is v1909 and it surely should know what cores are marked as better ones and what ones are not, even a 3rd party utility called hwinfo knows that without any "CPPC Preferred Cores" options in BIOS, but Windows still only uses the favored cores on CCX0, ignoring the highest-favored core which happens not to be on CCX0. Not sure how then v1909 differs from LTSC v1809 that seems to function the same way.

But still it doesn't change the fact that Ryzen 3000 turned out being a nice piece of hardware, and once AMD fixes all of its flaws it's gonna be even better.
