ROG STRIX B350-F GAMING issues

[theprob]

Hello,

Anyone experienced the following with the mentioned board:

After 6/10 system starts my system don't see the LAN adapter or my mouse at all. I need to restart the system or replug my mouse to solve the issue. I've experienced the mouse connection issue within UEFI too. Furthermore I experiencing further annoying problems, such as random video signal loose (especially when I start a fan calibration within AISuite 3). After that, I can only revive my system with a hardreset.

I tried to reinstall windows/nvidia driver/chipset driver, etc. And of course, I have the latest BIOS version.

Now, I sent back the board to the vendor, because ASUS Support advised that. They will revise it. I hope soo, that they won't evalute that it's just a SW related issue...

Just a quick question: do you guys update your BIOS using the EZ Flash within BIOS (with USB drive), or using EZ Update within AI Suite? I can't seem to get EZ Update installed properly ...


P.S. I'm using a 1700, and I read somewhere that I shouldn't update to the latest BIOS because I'm still using 1st gen Ryzen. Is that true?!

P.P.S. Just noticed EZ flash seems to be the recommended option anyway for newer BIOS, and actually no USB flash drive is actually required since the program can read SSD contents. So the bottomline is version 5220 safe to update regardless of which Ryzen generation I'm using? Thanks.

Yeah i have a 1600x and im on an old BIOS. The new BIOS's that are coming out only improve the 3000 series of processors and will not benefit from our old chips. Just stay on an old bios.

How old is your BIOS? I'm actually still using one from 2017, just updated once when I received the new PC, lol

I believe i am using version 4602. Anything after that they were mostly updates to make the board compatible with the next gen.

no more updates? :sad:

Yeah, was hoping they would release 1.0.0.4 for this board. Maybe it's still in the works.

I finally upgraded to a Ryzen 3600 a few days ago. So far, I find the high voltages and temperatures a bit uncomfortable. My 1600 rarely exceeded 60C, while the 3600 goes to 72C on the same cooler. I'm planning to reseat the cooler and apply different paste just to be safe.

Also, I'm having issues with installing an NVME drive. The board simply isn't detecting it. Any advice?

No issues running the 3600 on the latest 5220 BIOS, 3200Mhz Corsair and Samsung 860 NVme. I also used the stock cooler from my old R5 1600 and found the the temps a little uncomfortable but nothing alarming. I have since upgraded it to the gammaxx gte and temps are excellent. You have to understand that the voltage activity of the 3600 is very different from the 1600. Its almost GPU like the way it switches voltage quickly dynamically, max temp for these CPUS are 95c. Of course you wanna keep them nothing more than 80c at max load. Dont worry about idle temps as much, reseat your cooler use a better thermal paste.

Waiting for AM4 1.0.0.4, hopefully Asus releases it because a few other manufacturers have for their B350 parts

I updated to a 3600 several months back and noticed the same as you, I was not expecting higher temps given that i was using a custom loop with fresh coolant and thermal paste, I even did what you are thinking and re-applied the paste to no change, at that time i was running stock CPU settings and it was running hotter than my old OC 1600, in any case i started digging looking into voltages and stuff and in HWiNO64 under gaming or simply watching YouTube it was sucking up as high as 1.475v continually, after that i downloaded ryzen master to play with OC settings, I usually use the bios to set this but for testing master works well, and so I was able to get a totally stable 4100Mhz manual OC at a voltage of just 1.3v and temps noticeably shot down, I then did 4200MHz all core at just 1.35v and again totally stable with far lower temps than stock.

The way the 3600 works is one core will go as close to 4.2 as it can while the other sit at 4.1 and whoever it was be it AMD or ASUS over did it on the auto voltage or perhaps overly stability cautious so as soon as it boosts it demands pretty much max power even when its not needed to ensure stability, for me I tested manual 4.2 at 1.35v vs 4.1 at 1.3v and there was pretty much no real world performance difference, so i went with the manual OC of 4.1 and a voltage of 1.3v and its been cool and stable ever since.

If you are not comfortable messing with OC via bios as they have that dumb offset setting rather than actual voltage, download the ryzen master and you can set profiles so you can soft manual OC and test it.

I use my 3700X fixed at 4Ghz, 1.1volts. The MB overvolts to 1,2volts but that's OK. The temperatures don't exceed 65C and there's no stress on CPU fans. I wish only silence.
With the last Bios 5220 by default CPU + PBO 1 core jumps up to 44,5 multiplier, 3 to 44,3 and 1 up to 44. And the two CPU fans and my other fans in the case change their speed constantly and tease my silence in the room. The temperature go to 75-77C at full load.

How were you able to overclock it? My friend has the same cpu and mobo but we can't figure out how to manually overclock it because in the cpu core ratio its just greyed out for whatever reason. We also updated the BIOS to 5220.

Any news on the AGESA 1.0.0.4 update for this board?
