Bios update issue

I tried using bios file in q-flash in the BIOS. Said this then I tried bios flash button on the motherboard with file renamed to gigabyte.bin and it's plugged into the q-flash port. Computer turns on for a fraction of a second then stays off. I've done q-flash on another motherboard and had no issue before seeing the led blink. On this new aorus x870 elite motherboard I'm struggling.

X870e Elite WiFi 7 CPU LED On & RGB is Dead

The title basically says it all.

I went away for the weekend, when I came back and turned it on. The CPU Debug LED indicator just stays on. The system boots just fine though and runs games + benchmarks without issue.

Also the RGB seems to have died. I have tried all possible RGB headers and I don't get anything at all. Removing the GCC software etc but it just seems to be dead. I don't get why it was fine before I went away

I have a Ryzen 7 9800x3d just so you know

What would you suggest I do/try?

I have sent support tickets to the company I bought my Mobo from and also put a question on the esupport bit of Gigabyte

Gigabyte X470 Aours Ultra Gaming Bios Update Problem

Hello, in the past i updated the bios for the the gigabyte x470 aorus ug but or i didnt saw in description or idk how i skipped this step, but i didnt use EC FW Tool to update bios, i updated with q-flash, up to F41 version. Now i want to buy a ryzen 5000 series, its safe to continue to update with q-flash even if i didnt use the EC FW tool for f40 version?

And if i need ec fw also for 5000 series, how i can downgrade from f41 to f31?

New pc build is going in to bios but when saving and exiting it gets no display!

I have just build a second pc now, it is a Ryzen 7 5700G with a Gigabyte B550 gaming x V2 motherboard. It started up and went into bios, after exiting bios with Windows install usb in. It went into the windows install and manage to go through it until the section where you choose computer name and there it just closed for some reason. Now when starting it again, it is just starting and showing the gigabyte logo and I can go in to bios but not going further, it just shows no display signal.

Have I maybe made any mistakes when installing Windows? What should I do now?

Potential motherboards for 9800x3d build

Iā€™m looking at using an eagle x870 as the motherboard for my 9800x3d + 4090 gaming build, can anyone give an insight as to whether this board will suffice or should I be looking at slightly higher end?

This is my first step into pc gaming so my knowledge is very limited, tia.

M32U successor M32UP

Anyone have any experience with this monitor? Seems to be the successor to the M32U with the only difference being 160hz vs. 144, but I can't seem to find anything about it on reddit and YouTube. Only the gigabyte product listing:

https://www.aorus.com/en-us/monitors/M32UP/Key-Features

And it seems to be on Amazon US.

GIGABYTE AORUS Waterforce X II 360 ICE

Hallo liebe Fachleute, nach 12 Jahren habe ich mir mal einen neuen Rechner gegƶnnt. Jetzt habe ich mit dieser AIO Probleme.

GCC erkennt die AIO nicht und ich kann das Display und RGB nicht steuern.

Als Mainboard habe ich ein X870E AORUS PRO ICE. Ich habe das Sata Kabel der Pumpe an einen Sata Anschluss vom Netzteil angeschlossen. Das andere an Fan_Pump 6 und dann zum Test an CPU_Fan.

Die Stecker am Radiator oben habe ich mit denen Der zusammengeklipsten lĆ¼fter.

Frage: ist da noch ein gesondertes USB Kabel dabei was com Pumpenkopf aufs Mainboard muss? Steht so in der BeschreibungšŸ¤” kann mich aber nicht erinnern das eins dabei war.

Durch das Case ist alles sehr eng und umstƤndlich das nach zuschauen.

Vllt kann mir einer helfen und bitte Gnade ich bin alt šŸ«£šŸ˜….

Does the gigabyte f36c BIOS support ryzen 7 5700x3D?

I have an AORUS ELITE v1.0 board and just ordered the Ryzen 5700x3D and my BIOS version is F36c, does it support the CPU or do I need to update my BIOS? I havenĀ“t found anything that would answer the question clearly for me on the gigabyte website. The F30 said it added support for 5000 series AMD chips but since this is a relatively recent CPU IĀ“m not sure if itĀ“s supported. Thanks.

X870E Aorus Pro Ice with RTX 5090 and 9950X3D

Planning on building a new pc with the 5090 when it drops. Will this motherboard be compatible with it? Does anyone know? Should I buy the MB with the Newegg bundle that includes 7950X/7900X? Planning on gaming on the new 1440p 480hz monitors. Will those CPUā€™s be enough for 5090 or should I wait for 9950XD? Thank you

Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX - coil whine with 3 different gpu's / can't POST after restart

Hey guys,

This is my build:

Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 4.2 GHz, 96 MB, BOX (100-100000910WOF)

ADATA XPG Lancer Blade, DDR5, 32 GB, 6000MHz, CL30 (AX5U6000C3016G-DTLABBK)

MSI MPG A850G PCIE5 850W

I am experiencing very loud coil whine while playing games above 144 fps (capping fps to 144 is a no go cause i have 360hz oled monitor and i play competetive games which require highest possible fps count). Additionally there's an issue with rtx cards both 4070 and 4070 ti super while i press restart, there's a red boot/vga led and the pc wont post. With amd rx7900xt there is no issue. With my previous mobo and gpu (msi b650 gaming and 4080 super) i had the same issue when the pc wont post after restart... what the heck is wrong with b650 boards? is there any way to fix it? Can you guys recommend me a good mobo that does not have any of these issues?

btw. im on the most up to date bios version.

New AM5 build, no post

New build Gigabyte aorus x870E mobo won't post or display any bios plugged into HDMI on board. I've tried with the GPU disconnected, all SSDs disconnected, pulled ram and tested one at a time. Same error codes on mobo code LED. Starts at 15, then after 30 seconds goes through other codes quickly, before stopping on 3F. Book says this code means "reserved". Also DRAM light is lit up.

When RAM isn't in A2 or B2, the mobo code LED indicates RAM is in wrong slots.

The AM5 ram I'm using is RGB, and all other RGB is lit on the frozen we state, except the ram RGB never lights up. I don't have any other ddr5 RAM, AM5 CPU or mobo to test each individually. Thoughts?

B560 AORUS PRO AX (rev. 1.0) support for Intel VT-X

Hi all,

does somebody know if the B560 AORUS PRO AX (rev. 1.0) supports the Intel VT-X? I cannot find the virtualization option in my BIOS (V6, V13 is the latest one). I tried to find some info on https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B560-AORUS-PRO-AX-rev-10/support#support-dl-utility

But nothing regarding the support. I do not want to update my BIOS (due to the possibility it will go wrong) before I know it will solve the problem.

Thanks in advance!

Help with BIOS Access Issue: GPU + DisplayPort Not Working for BIOS Entry. PC works fine.

Hi everyone,

Iā€™ve been running into a frustrating issue with my PC build and was hoping someone here might have some insights. Iā€™m unable to access the BIOS when my GPU is installed and connected via DisplayPort. The only way I can get into the BIOS is by using the integrated GPU and an HDMI cable. Here are some important details:

  • The GPU is not faulty. Iā€™ve run extensive stability and stress tests for both the CPU and GPU, with no crashes or errors.
  • All connections are secure. Iā€™ve double-checked and reseated all cables and components. Iā€™ve even tested them in a different system without any issues.
  • Specs:
    • Motherboard: Gigabyte X870 Gaming WiFi6
    • GPU: RTX 4080
    • CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D
    • RAM: Corsair DDR5 Vengeance RGB 2x16GB 6000

This behavior is consistent and reproducible. Iā€™ve looked into potential firmware or driver updates but wanted to hear if anyone else has encountered a similar problem or has suggestions on troubleshooting this.

Could it be a BIOS setting, motherboard compatibility quirk, or something Iā€™m overlooking?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Aorus 15x 4070 high GPU temps

I was wondering if this is a known issue with the GPU being at 80-85c while at no more than 105w? I have another laptop with a 4070 and it goes no more than 65c at 115w and while being quieter and slightly smaller.

Did I get a bad one or something else?

1440p not working!

I recently bought a 240hrz 1440p monitor to game at a higher resolution than 1080p. I have an and 6750xt thatā€™s more than capable of running that resolution. Iā€™ve tried everything I can think of, Iā€™ve updated all drivers. Got a display port 1.4, lowered my refresh rate, updated windows and still donā€™t have the option to go higher than 1080ā€¦ help plz!

Help lower temp I7-13700k

(I am italian and i translated everything)

I've been using a PC with this configuration for a month

ā—4070 super ā—I7-13700k ā—Gigabyte b760 gaming x ā—Sharkoon case ā—Ram 16x2 GB Corsair vengeance 5600 Mhz ā—Thermaltake 360 ā€‹ā€‹heatsink ā—Seasonic g12 750w gold power supply

During gaming the temps are quite normal but when it goes to process shaders or install games it reaches 90 degrees and above, I did a stress test on cinebench 24 and it reaches almost 100 degrees and 253w with about 1600 points, to solve the temperature I lowered the watt limit to 215 and the vcore to -0.100V from the bios, I did a test on cinebench again and the temps are improved with 10 degrees less and losing 300 points on cinebench

What I wanted to ask is if it is possible to solve this temp problem without resorting to these methods that limit my cpu (even if I actually don't know when) I'm trying everything and looking for everything, I'm aware of the fact that it could all be due to intel and that's it that pushes too much or the motherboard that also pushes to the maximum or the heatsink (which makes the sound of the liquid so I don't think so) If someone who is informed about me could help me shed some light, it would do me a huge favor

Erp is not working.

Hello guys, i'm Having a problem with the Erp function on a B550m Aorus Elite Rev1.3, erp is toggled on, and the mobo should be cutting power to the peripherals on pc shutdown, but it does not happen, some peripherals and Fans keep their leds on, fully powered. I know it is not the end of the world but is quite annoying. Does anyone have any insight of what may be causing the issue?

Thank you for your time.

Aorus 5 SE4 Keyboard keeps dying

Hi, I bought this laptop ~15 months ago. Hadn't noticed any problems until 3 months ago, when the laptop's keyboard would stop working until I restarted the laptop. Since then, it's been happening every 2-3 weeks. The keyboard will randomly die, and I will have to restart the laptop multiple times to get it to work. It's not a permanent fix, since it comes back after 2 weeks.

Device Manager shows a : Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Failed), and uninstalling this doesn't help. Yesterday, my touchpad started lagging, and would stop working for a few seconds.

I dont know what is causing this, or how to fix it. The keyboard and touchpad work perfectly in the BIOS, but stop once Windows loads in. I uninstalled Gigabyte Control Center, but that seemed to have no effect.

Current theory is a malfunctioning driver, but I uninstalled every single driver on my laptop, to no avail. A fresh reset of Windows 11 only helped for 3 or 4 days

Laptop model: Aorus 5 SE4 Windows 11 and BIOS are both fully up to date.

Any ideas? The laptop isn't covered by warranty anymore, and I imagine getting the motherboard replaced will be quite expensive.

X570 Elite Wifi only front usb port allows access to BIOS?

So I've had this motherboard for a while and for some reason I can only access the BIOS if I use the front usb port. Why do the back usb ports not work when pressing the delete key only the front port?

Also on another note I have a usb c port right beside the usb port and if I have something plugged into it it doesn't register when I press the delete key either.

Is there a fix for this, or am I missing something?

(It's not my keyboard)
