Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master Owners

Do you chose to update the back up bios at the same time when updating?
My guess is you might not have ever updated the backup bios before and it had just flipped over to that.
Possibly some bios setting remained from your F11 settings that F22 didn't want to boot with, so failed over and booted from backup, which was still on F5.

Could be, I've never touched the backup BIOS. Luckily never needed it! I don't really need it but it is a bit of insurance should a flash go bad.

I'll update again when F31 drops and it looks stable. I'm impressed how many BIOS updates they put out. So far going to F22, latest chipset drivers and all Windows updates and latest GPU drivers it's all looking very stable.
 
I have a similar problem, as most with this GiGabyte X570 not responding :
parts all new ( still wanting for my RTX 3080 ( overclockers have me in position 900! ) borrowed 2 new 2080ti cards to keep things moving with my build!
gigabyte x570 Pro
2x RTX 2080ti
Vengeance ram 64BG
Be Quiet Dark pro 4
Kolink continuum 1200 W AMD 5900X ( all pins good not bent )
Fractal Design Define R6 Type-C
1tb & 2tb WD-Black Sn850 NvMe m.2
4GB USB 2.0 memory stick for Qlash

Troubleshooting attempts Correctly names Update on memory stick (gigabyte.bin)
My first attempt
NO CPU - NO GPU - NO RAM connected just 8pin CPU power 12pin motherboard socket check for bent pins, the front panel pins sockets have been installed in the F_Pannel following the guide in the MB manual .

RAN QFLASH Plugged in memory stick into Bios labeled USB port on rear IO with the mb_bios_x570-aorus-pro_f31o flash file RE NAMED to gigabyte.bin. Press the Qflash button all fans spin case cooler fans, PSU fan and chipset heatsink fan; the motherboard flashed once with white led for half a second. The Qflash light then light orange and the (#22) CPU/DRAM/VGA/BOOT leds flashed red on Dram.
This Process lasts for about 2-3 mins maybe 5 I have not timed it, either way I let it run until the led have stop as well as the fans. Unplug the USB then turn the PSU off by it's switch. Turned on power via PSU switch and NOT A FART ! no spinning just that white led flash as mentioned, sometimes this doesn't even happen as I have repeated this process 3 - 4 times each time shorting the Cmos pins and removing the battery to reset MB.

Second attempt
RAN QFLASH - turn off
ON from PSU - 1 stick of ram, one GPU and CPU install - NOTHING MOVING OR SHOWING - I TURN OFF
ON from PSU - one GPU and CPU - NOTHING MOVING OR SHOWING - I TURN OFF
even took out the F_pannle pins hoping to get something on my display - again nothing no movement, no screen UI. Where the hell is my bois?
I CLR_CMOS then repeat all above mb_bios_x570-aorus-pro_f30 flash file - same fail? also the power led glows blue and the Power switch is pinned into but that does not turn my machine on yet?
Need help ;-{

I see you did rename the file. Try update by one of the other methods? Tried switching to the backup BIOS?
 
I just noticed that BIOSes F31(c and o) have both been removed with latest available online being F30 from 09/2020?

Does anyone know of any specific reasons as to why - my experience with F31o has been great for the last 2 days but concerned in case it was pulled because of some kind of issue.

I'm guessing as a beta BIOS they found some issues. If you're not having any I wouldn't worry as it may only be some configurations that had a problem.
 
Same. Love the Aorus Master on paper but bought a Tomahawk instead.... then saw threads about the MSI boards also having issues.... looks like whichever way you turn some boards can have issues?
What's the feeling of the Aorus owners here? Happy?

Absolutely no issues here. I'd be careful of a handful of reported issues given the number of items sold. I doubt there's a manufactured product in existence that didn't have some examples of issues.
 
Obviously, no one is saying that the board is bad or anything. Personally when I searched for this board that is the first thing I saw, and then Buildzoid mentioned it on his video as well, but as I said above, I bought a brand new board and it has VRM coil whine. So yeah its just luck I suppose.

Yes I suspect a lot of it is component combinations as much as design. My last two power supplies were high end Seasonic manufactured and touch wood no coil whine.
 
Silly question, just building my new system on the X570 Master, I noticed the metal IO cover had a plastic protection film on it that I peeled off. It also looks like there is a plastic layer on the top left power delivery cooler (right above the CPU)? And one on the bottom left that says "Easa sabre HIFI" underneath do all 3 of these parts actually have a protective film over them that can be removed? I tried taking the top one-off but it's coming off in little plastic pieces, not sure if I'm peeling off the sticker anymore or destroying my MOBO

If it doesn't come off very easily its probably not meant to!
 
Help please....
I am using 3 M2 drives on my Giga Master and wanted to confirm if this is constraining the full benefit of my 3080 GPU? I ask as it appears to be runing at X16 (HWinfo64 confirmed) but appears to be running at 2.5GBs rather than the full 16GBs available.
Am I issunderstanding this?

As I understand it using the 3x M.2 loses you some SATA ports. I'm not 100% sure if it will also limit you GPU to 8x PCIE 4.0 lanes.
 
Just a quick bump to highlight F33 (Final not beta) has been released. Working OK for me, also with the new AMD chipset drivers released yesterday.

Cheers, still on F22 and have been waiting for this BIOS. Looks like I need to update a few other drivers too.
 
Might be a stupid question but is there any easy way to reinstate my settings after flashing the BIOS? I know I can save the current state of my BIOS but I have the idea that after flashing to a new BIOS I won't be able to load those settings in.
 
I've just updated to W11, not noticed any issues so far.....went extremely smoothly.....which made me nervous lol
Will upgrade the bios as soon as the next non-beta is released.
I have to say these boards were expensive but have been very easy to use and no problems to speak of. I know there are people that aren't a fan of Gigabyte but I'd buy another one of their boards and I've always had MSI until the Aorus Master.
 
F36e here all good, all stock except XMP for the RAM and an old AMD GPU 5830 :eek:

Edit: Running W10 so that may be a factor
