Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite new bios F12h

I can never resist the urge to upgrade. I've been through F3 (came with the board), F4g, F4i, F4m, F4n, F5a, F5b, F5d, F5f, F5g, F10a, F10b, F10c, F10d, F11, F12b, F12c, F12f, F12g, F12h and now F20a. My 1900/3800 IF/RAM settings (from DRAM calc) have worked fine and been stable through every version, with a couple of small tweaks along the way.

When you say the settings had to be redone, do you mean you had to input them again or you had start testing again from scratch? Settings won't persist through a BIOS flash - that's expected. I have some screen shots of my settings. It only takes a minute to put them in again after a BIOS flash.

Yes, BGS is there in the BIOS now - Settings --> AMD CBS --> UMC Common Options --> DRAM Memory Mapping --> Bank Group Swap
 
I had to start from scatch. This time I didn't just blindly follow DRAM calculator which is a bit hit n miss. I went to the techpowerup! Ryzen overclocking guide (written by the author of DRAM calculator) and found that procODT 53.8Ohms (auto) gave 11 errors in TM5; 40Ohms gave zero. So from there it was a case of tuning. However I just wanted something stable and went with 3600Mhz. I've had Corsair Vengence Pro RGB M2Z3600C18 @ 3800Mhz and 2 kits of Patriot Viper Steel 4400C19 @ 3800Mhz but after testing with TM5 v3 (20 cycles) I think the higher ambients made the Patriots unstable (now I have a fan trained on the four dimms with a fan curve set to ambient temps).

I think tuning proODT is key for my RAM and when I shoot for 3800Mhz its where I'll start. I will probably see what I can get with F12h and then try F20a.

With M2Z I had 1.42v reported @3800Mhz and dropped it to 1.38v (1.35v set in bios). With the Patriot I was using 1.46v I believe but now I have set 1.35v @ 3600Mhz. You can click my sig for a little more info.
 
yeah f20 was released then it got pulled and now its back again think i'll stick with f11 still as having zero issues with it and am not getting a xt.

there is a audio driver/raid update for anyone that is on windows 2004.

F20b was on there which was Beta. F20 final is now up there with a different checksum etc to the old F20b
 
I recently flashed my B450 Aorus Pro BIOS to F51e (which I think contains the same changes as this update) - and I've had no issues in terms of stability so far. The only slight issue is I use an NZXT H500i (with the "smart device") - and occasionally on a first boot, it doesn't detect the device being connected and I have to restart for it to work properly. It used to do this very rarely before I updated, but it seems to do it more frequently now, so not sure if this is related at all.

Totally different chipset/family so the changes between the bios probably wont be that similar in fairness.

Flag it with Gigabyte using the support ticket system. See what they say. Or, Google/Reddit etc see if the problem has been fixed by anyone else :)

Planning on changing case pretty soon anyways so it's not the end of the world for me, was just giving some insight on my experience - but I will be sure to let them know!
 
I downloaded it but I'm sticking with F12h for the moment. I have just had my Samsung C24FG73 go **** up, and I'm looking for advice on badcaps.net (where I went to repair the monitor I'm using now: a Samsung 2232BW). Also I am running a raid10 and I think I should install AMD raidxpert2 because when I came back to my PC after 9 days it said the array was failed; but booting into windows (from another drive) fixed it.
