Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Just want to thank everyone for there help and input, even though i quickly stumbed on to the answer the fact that so many came out to give me some help so quick was very suprising as this sub thread ususaly is quite dead from what i can tell. Secondly I would like to adress a few things, first...
for this system there is no auto recovery i think as it just froze on the POST screen, either way the key was to boot with the backup BIOS adn then switch it to the Primary after i was in Qflash, then I recoverd the BIOS with the Backups copy "F20" BIOS then ended up just using the soft BIOS...
well I found some helpfull info https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/5zlegh/how_to_restore_a_bricked_ax370_gaming_5_bios/
turns out im not the only one who found out there is no instructions on how to fix a failed BIOS flash, thanks Gigabyte... never again will they get my money
I was trying to update my brothers GA-AX370-Gaming 5 to a new BIOS (going from F25- F30 - F30 - F40 - latest, I think i have to do it in a certain sequance accroding to the webpage)
Anyway the flash failed for some reasion and it just freezes at POST, thankfully the MOBD has dual BIOS and I...
Thanks Riev90 i will try that, but at the moment im running Prim95's memory test that also uses 99% of the memory and im going to run that for like 24hrs then if that passes I will try TM5 and AIDA64 just for good measure.
Hey I have a 32G kit of DDR4 3200MHz (i dont recall make and model off the top of my head i can get the details latter if needed) anyway I was using the kit in my main rig back in 2019 and even thought it was 100% in memtest86 it was having small issues, random crashes in games like stellaris...
ya ok, so thanks for clarifying that for me, I did not know that the PCIe full size slot is basically a 16bit bus just super super fast, so becasuse PCI is 32bit that means the old PCI buses are double the bit just much much slower, as that makes senes as the more data chanlles in serial you...
Ya that makes sense, as the CPU became more integrated the Bus for the memory controller and such were moved in to the CPU its self and now the FSB is just the PCIe refrence speed, the reminds me at the start of the i7 era ppl who were overclocking were told to advoid clocking the FSB to much...
I was watching an XP build on youtube by AkBKuKu on his TechTangents channle and he is using an old P4 550, now I forgot untill I was watching this video but back then intel was running there FSB at 800MHz... now i think AMD was also doing this with there AMD64 platform, i do recall seening a...
Will try downgrading the BIOS when I get a chance but im not messing with the thermal pad under the heatsink, the board is still under warranty first off and secondly I suffer from spinal damage so I would take me much longer to do that and this being my primary rig I dont want it to have...
ya the temps were all reported in the bios as high, the case has good airflow and 3 case fans (2 front 1 rear) the chipset fan was at 0 RPM for hours before I noticed the issue and the CPU fan was at its slowest speed, I can not switch sensors for the chipset and switching for the CPU did...
Been using my 3900X since august and it is amazing, heat is a issue but it is solved with a massive cooler, don't think I will be doing a platform update for atleast a few years, will be updating my GFX from a 1070ti to something newer when the next generation of GPU's drop
R9 3900X 12C 24T...
I built my R9 3900X system back last august, my Gigbyte Master board I had with it died suddenly (I think a transistor on the board its self shorted out) so I swapped in a MSI MEG x570 unify as a quick and cheap replacement and it worked amazingly, even the CPU was about 10oC cooler under full...
