Motherboards with AMD processors / Re: X870 Elite - Bios F4a help is half Spanish, half English

Because the Bios is a Beta Bios. So you can have bugs in it. Were you having a problem before you updated the Bios?

Motherboards with AMD processors / X870 Elite - Bios F4a help is half Spanish, half English

« Last post by crake on March 02, 2025, 08:56:08 pm »

I don't think it was like this on previous bioses, but most of the help txt on the latest bios F4a

I've also had problems powering up  my pc in the mornings, but I think this is my PSU which I'm in progress of testing.

How come there’s so few ppl here?

Again yes, but there is still the driver issue that you might face.

What about a PCI card, can I use one of them?

You should be able to use a PCIe Wi-Fi card but, as you are running Windows 7, you might have issues finding a suitable driver.

Hi, have GA-F2A88X-D3H mobo running Win 7 pro.
I use a IP8750 Canon printer and Virgin media router box all 'wired', I want to get rid of the wire and go WI-FI.

So,  can I use a WI-FI PCI card, can't see why not but thought I'd better ask first just to be sure..... this machine is what I built and running it with a A6-5400  APU (no graphic card), running fine for my use.

Motherboards with Intel processors / Are we good now with Intels 14:th generation and their micrcode?

« Last post by DaddyCoolSwe on February 22, 2025, 07:02:12 pm »

Hi,

I have a Z790 GAMING X AX with Intel i9-14900K. And yes, I was one of many who got problem due to a overheated/throttling CPU.

Less than a month ago a upgraded the BIOS to F12 and start thinking.. what happened to all this Intel s***, uncertainty around performance and overclocking?

Is it safe to work with the BIOS again? I dont mean "hardcore" overcklocking, just using the auto/AI functions?

I have used the default settings in BIOS since the problem first started and havent changed it yet.

For example I keep my DDR5 memory on steady 4800 MHz even though they and the MB can handle 6400 MHz. Another interesting thing I noticed "Intel default settings" is set to Extreme in BIOS, that sounds a bit.. extreme?

Anyone with a similar setup who can give a (not to difficult) suggestion?

Thanks!

1st of all why are you running windows 10 on that board? Unless Microsoft fix it windows 10 it doesn't know how to switch CPU's. It sounds like you were running it before.

All I can say is that this is a user to user forum. Support really doesn't come here. I would contact support. They will work with you. But they might ask you the same question. Why are you running windows 10?

Yes I still running windows 10 on my main computer. But it doesn't have dual CPU's. It is a 2066 with a i9 CPU. Plus I'm getting ready to do a clean install of windows 11 on it too. Plus when it comes to drivers I don't update drivers other then the Video driver. "If it isn't broke don't fix it"

I have just carried out a clean install of Windows 10 Pro on a Gigabyte Z790 D DDR4.

I installed the GCC to help with updates. It is a black window with illegible white writing, is there any way to make it follow my Windows theme please so I can read it? It doesn't seem to have any of the usual Windows controls like close/minimise/restore etc.

I pressed the "Update" button and a notice appeared saying "Need close GCC program!" Without any controls or buttons Task Manager is the only way to do that but that closes it completely. What am I supposed to do at that point please?
