Motherboards with AMD processors / GIGABYTE B650 EAGLE AX. nice board, ugly bios

« Last post by konrad on May 21, 2024, 08:23:05 pm »

I completed a build some days ago. I run mostly Linux on my sistems, and I was glad to see that the integrated wifi card (rtl 8852ce) is supported out of the box with modern linux distros. Anyway, my joy disappeared after the first reboot. I was able to trouble shoot this: the wifi card and the bluetooth devices (wich are the same device, as far as I know), tend to disappear after a shutdown or a reboot. I detected the same behaviour also with Windows 10. To make the realtek 8852 reappear, I must power drain (ie: I turn off the power supply, then power on to discharge everything). Then magically wifi works again. This has to be related to the way the board resets and poweroffs itself, ie the bios must be buggy. I read elsewhere that there are other issues related to poweroffs and reboots, so please, Gigabyte, if you love your customers please fix this once for all. BTW: I tried two different boards (I RMAed the first one) and the behaviour is consistent. PLEASE, PLEASE FIX IT!

Am I the only one?? I dont think so, please, let me know

Motherboards with AMD processors / Re: X670E Aorus Master bios battery draining very quickly

Greetings,
Will be curious to hear what you decided and if replacing the battery worked.  I've seen this type of design in other products as well.  Cameras specifically.  Some have a replaceable battery, others require a teardown that you as an end user don't want to do.  All for a .25 cent CR2025 battery.

All the battery does is hold the setting in the cmos. Once you replace the battery and it does it again I would contact support. Why would they do this in the first place. By putting a battery under a heat-sink???

I know right! It seems like an incredibly stupid decision, especially considering that they must have done something to the bios to make the battery drain this quickly, maybe connected the bios to the RGB on the board, or the way it connects to the desktop or something..

Motherboards with AMD processors / X670E Aorus Master bios battery draining very quickly

« Last post by gijoe50000 on May 05, 2024, 09:43:52 pm »

So I recently got an X670E Aorus Master and the bios battery was DOA, not holding clock or bios settings; and spending 15 minutes waiting for memory training every day is a nightmare, so I have EXPO disabled.

In HWinfo the bios battery is reading as 0.840V.

Ordinarily I would just swap out the battery, but in this case it looks like a full strip down of my watercooling loop is needed...
And I will also have to remove the motherboard from the case...
And remove the backplate from the motherboard...
So that I can remove the screws for the chipset heatsink...
To remove the heatsink...
Just to remove the CMOS battery.

Now I have no problem doing this, once, maybe twice if I still have this board in 5 year's time, but what I'm worried about is that there's a lot of talk online that the CMOS batteries just don't last very long in these motherboards. And I don't want to have to come back in 3 weeks to replace the battery again, because I'll only have just recovered from the trauma of doing it the last time.

So I'm wondering if anybody has any information on this, like is there something else on the motherboard drawing power from the CMOS battery?
Was it just a bad batch of CMOS batteries?
Or maybe some of the earlier bios versions were doing something funky with these boards?
Or perhaps some setting in the bios that I can turn off?

Anybody have anymore info on this?

Motherboards with AMD processors / Re: X570 Pro WIFI: Win10 Hybernate failed ,after Core Isolation was turnning ON

Greetings,
Have a look at this.  It might help.  See if your system meets the requirements, hardware virtualization (enabled), etc.

It could be a driver incompatibility as well.

Hi, windows didn't popup any driver conflit or issue , while I turning on the "Memory Integrity".
I think there are something wrong in the hibernate process , after turning on the "memory integrity".
coz, after multiple tests, there is a error on my os drive (NVME drive), have to fix it using chkdsk.
I  turn off the power completely(from the wall) , while I mention "turn off power completely 1 minit later"  on the top post.
The fans of the PC casing, and the LED of the mobo is completely no power, b4 I  turning off the power completely( from the wall).

there are some other settings in the BIOS, while troubleshooting  u might interested:
BIOS setting:
LEDs in system Power On state: On
LEDs in Sleep, Hibernation, and Soft Off States : Off
PCIEX16 Slot Configuration: Auto
PCIEX Slot Configuration: Auto
PCIE ASPM Mode : Disabled

What memory are you running. It sounds like you might have a memory problem. The thing is all memory runs at base speed of 2133. I myself never waste my time on faster memory. Plus one other thing did this all start with updating the Bios?

The thing is people think I'm going get 3200 or 3600 memory. It will make my computer run faster. But in the real world it really doesn't. So what I would do is get memtest and test the memory one stick at a time.

hi, thanks for the reply. 
the XMP was disabled in the BIOS while troubleshoting the issue.
btw, the dram module is from Kingston, was bought about 4.5 years ago and it is in the memory QVL list.
For 4.5 years , never had any issues with the XMP set to ON. Including sleep and hibernate.. using different BIOS (F22, F34) in long term use.
The problem only happen after  Core isolation > Memory integrity: ON .
and it only happen after I turn off the power  (from the wall) completely . 
If simply sleep  and then awake without turn off the power (from the wall), it can awake without issue.
so, I think something is wrong between hibernate and core isolation .

Greetings,
What key are you pressing to enter BIOS?
