has anyone seen any improvement with these latest bios updates?

Are gigabyte on the ball with bios updates mostly?
I hope they aren't like Asus where they fix one thing and break something else?

thats what im worried about i just want them to fix the heat issues my fans are so loud ever since ive upgraded to the 3700x

After the AB bios killed my ultra, I’ve already decided I’m not going to do any updates until it’s beyond doubt that the bios has fixed the boost issue.

Fan issues on the Gigabyte board?

Maybe I’m hard of hearing or something, but I’ve had two ultras now and the fans have barely been audible on either.

Oh right. I’ve got a Corsair H100i and I can only hear it when it ramps up, and that’s only when doing really intensive stuff like benching and rendering video. When gaming it stays pretty quiet. But that’s probably because the 3900 is so powerful it just chills on around 10% utilisation when gaming.

My Ultra died after updating the bios too, it was a few hours later though so I'm not sure if it was just a coincidence. I was just tweaking a fresh install of windows 10 etc at the time, temps were all fine, never heard the chipset fan once even when spinning.

The PC just shut down on it's own while I was in windows & wouldn't switch back on again. Tried everything, clearing cmos, different PSU..the weird thing about it though was that the board would fire up & all the fans would spin if I unplugged the 8 pin cpu connector. With it plugged in, it was just dead. Didn't make any difference though because it wouldn't boot to bios & the error led would stop on cpu.

Anyway, sent the ultra & 3700X back for a refund. Not sure if I should get the same board again tbh. Might just go X470.

My fans never even spun up, the whole thing was just kaput. New one is working fine so far though (touchwood). Haven’t done a bios update yet though. As I said, I won’t until there is concrete evidence that it’s stable and fixes all issues, including boost.

Cool, pleased to hear your replacement is working fine without the bios update. I might get another one, really nice board & had all the features I need..anyway, good luck with yours.

@tamzzy - Boris's suspension has lifted.

See-Ya!

Plec · 1 Aug 2019 at 01:46

@tamzzy - have you just bought a 3rd MP510 for your x570i!?!

That's your Neo-G money!!!

it may well be. but rvz03 is calling. but then i'll need a new cooler. equals more money...aaaarg...

Yep, and it's going to be a stream of 7 days of pent up consciousness/analysis all spilled out at once. I'll let you have the honours of decyphering it and I'll read the tl;dr at the bottom of your transcript.

But the rvz01 looks even more masochistic and financially crippling. It seems more in keeping with the theme of this build.

I'm looking forward to your build log if you go the 'self-harm' route - it may prove trickier than your previous munchkin builds. It has potential mm frustration designed throughout - especially if you really stretch your skills and get the rvz01

(iddy-biddy psu to play with).

rvz01 and rvz03 have basically the same internals, just mainly styling differences
rvz01 = sfx psu and slim optical drive.
rvz01-e = rvz03 = no optical drive and standard psu

I read 2 reviews and watched 2 YouTube clips when you you posited the idea of using the rvz03 (forget why I looked at rvz01) - my conclusion is...

.../crosses self.

@Plec to be honest, it's probably going to be easier because no 2.5" ssds. full nvme = less cabling = less hassle.

but, at £90 for the case, and £50 for the cryorig c1...it's expensive.
vs £65 for the neo-g
vs £200 for a custom loop (apogee + res + 1080ti block)
vs £0 to reuse current case/prodigy...

hmm...
