Please Read: Faulty F5 BIOS Update For Ryzen Gigabyte Aorus AX370 Gaming K7 motherboard

Recently Gigabyte released F5 BIOS updates for their AMD Ryzen motherboards. Early reports came in last week already, but there more and more reports that there is a nasty issue with that BIOS, overheating the platform and processor specifically on the Aorus AX370 Gaming K7.

Basically the F5 BIOS applies a dynamic core voltage that is way too high towards the Ryzen processor. There have been instances reported that where 1.2 Volts was needed, that 1.7 volts got delivered. So likely they mis-directed the voltage offset of 0.05 at 0.5 mV. A user-case example of this resulted into a Ryzen 7 1800X proc dying.

Gigabyte detected and corrected the issue quickjly after they learned about it, a new series F6 BIOS is available. However, if you have installed the BIOS and are not awar of the issue, this might be a big thing. If you have the F5 BIOS installed, please do upgrade to the F6 version immediately. It seems that best sold board is the Gigabyte Aorus AX370 Gaming K7 and that is the one affected, please grab that new BIOS here.

So how does that work, would Gigabyte buy you a new processor if yours gets fried because of their faulty BIOS?

And I just bought a Ryzen mainboard from them, not feeling comfortable now :/

That is the risk you assume when testing a Beta BIOS over a new platform.

This i why i never update Bios, drivers, OS asap.

That was not a beta BIOS, it was F5 !

Gigabyte has been slipping in quality the last few years.
Bad/poor VRMs in comparison with the competition and buggy BIOSes.
On the AM4 platform their boards are just crap. Seems they care more about RGB leds lately than actual features and quality.
