My issue was that no matter what I changed, it stayed at the same RPM. Can you maybe provide some screenshot on your set up and explain a bit how it works?
Same problem here. If your fan curve is working, can you download the config for that only and post here, if that’s not too much.

Screenshot 2024-04-25 213720.png

Here's an example of the CPU temp policy (policy's are just different curves, you can have one for CPU, one for ambient temp, etc).
The policy reference table is where you define the key values to create the curve:
At 30C I want the PWM load on the fan(s) to be 30% and increase linearly 100% PWM load at 90C
(this policy also affects multiple fan headers as seen in Fan section)
Maybe check the sensors panel in the dashboard to make sure your CPU is reading temps properly and you are sure your fans are PWM?

This is just an example, I'm probably going to add a few steps and lower the top value a bit.

I‘m having some issues where the detected memory frequency doesn’t match the actual specs of my kit.

I have two 16GB Crucial (non ecc) 3200MHz DIMMs.
But the BIOS reports them at only 2133MHz.
After messing around a bit I found an option in the overclocking section to set the frequency to 3200MHz. However the board then refuses to boot and requires a BIOS clear.


any idea what I need to change to use the full 3200MHz?

thanks a lot


I have the same Crucial Pro Memory, but have 4 x 32gb dimms. Bios initially reported mine at 2133mhz. I updated bios to F14 from this thread via UEFI, the system now shows these modules running at 3200MHz. I did not change any of the settings.

That's impressive.
What OS?
Can you run Turbostat and check the package Power?

Seems like the ACQ107 truly does have good deep sleep/low idle power.
I have Unraid and I think this command is not available. I can run powertop

Hey,

I've bought this motherboard. Managed to update the BMC to the newest available on the website and the BIOS to F13.

The processor I've got is AMD Ryzen 5 5600
The ram is a Kingston Fury KF432C16BBK2/64

The BIOS is capable of reading both correctly, can connect through the html KVM.
However the BMC does not pick up the newest versions of the BIOS (still shows it's F06). I'll let it run for a bit and see where it goes.
The BMC does not pick up the CPU and RAM straight away as well. (Showing a Ryzen 3600 and 128G of RAM)


Edit:
Not sure if it's a matter of time, or the fact I've booted into an installation-media, but it picked up the F13 bios in BMC as well as filled the correct inventory.

Edit2:

I've also got a AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 4650GE, but it's not posting.

Edit3:


I've inserted the AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 4650GE with the F13 bios - it's booting.
Now I need to get some working RAM, because I've cannibalized my daily PC.

Hi, guys
I have some of these boards and there is one serious issue with them that i cant figure how to resolve.

I tried : different CPU Ryzen 5900X and Ryzen 5950X
different RAM sticks
different PSU
different Mainboards, coolers, heatsink, etc..

I see the board consuming 35w at idle (Supermicro server)
At load (CPU-Z stress test) the CPU temperature going to 90C in just 3-5 seconds, stays there at 90 degrees all the time.

When i stop benchmarking, the CPU temp goes to 35-40 degrees very fast, in around ~2 seconds.

Tried different BIOS too.
What is wrong with it? Maybe somebody had similar issue?

Bought one of these board, didn't post using an ryzen 5 pro 4650ge. Figured it needed a Bios/BMC update
Tried to update the BMC, uploading works but when verifying it refuses to continue "Failed due to verification image fail"

Do not update from web interface, if there is a warning about that the system did not detect version, you wont be able to update from web interface. Use the windows/dos/linux for firmware update as well as the bios update.

I had this happen to me as well. On a second try it all of a sudden did work.

Make sure to select "BIOS" in the dropdown menu and only upload .rbu files to update the BIOS using the BMC.
Also, first update the BMC itself with the fw/rom.ima_enc file, before updating the BIOS.

I did it this way and have successfully made the board boot with F13 and 4650G. Before the update it didn't recognise the CPU.

as @phol wrote, do not select/upload the spi file
gigabyte provides a *.RBU file for Remote BIOS Update.

Thanks ! I assumed the .RBU also contained the BMC firmware in the same file, guess not. Updating the BMC worked, but .RBU is still not being accepted despite selecting BIOS in the dropdown.
Updating the BIOS using an OS is not option as I can't get the system to boot up with the 4650ge.

edit: Error message changed to "Failed due to update fail" which is rather cryptic

Perhaps first trying an older but newer than F06 could be a solution?
Did you try multiple browsers? Clearing browser history for the BMC?
I also saw completely pulling the plug and waiting for a few minutes before powering the system on again as a suggestion that worked for someone on HardwareLuxx.

I believe I had a similar issue, and reading thru the early pages of this thread it was suggested to update the bios via the UEFI which worked for me at least (I did need to get the uefi flash software from AMI as it's not included in gigabyte's downloads)

No! BMC is totally independent from BIOS. There are two separate processes to update both, and two different file formats, as indicated above by @phol .

Consider that flashing BIOS always carry the risk of bricking the board if the process fail. With a BMC, it is always possible to flash the BIOS anew. And, as long as there's a working BIOS, it is possible to re-flash a bricked BMC through the UEFI shell. Now imagine flashing BIOS and BMC in one go and the whole process fails… Ooops! Bad idea.

Hi,
I've been reading this thread and jumped too.

Currently I have a setup with only a Ryzen 5600x and Samsung 1TB 980 on the m2 slot and 32GB (2x16GB ECC unbuffered - at 2400)
I purchased the MB package with the included Gelid 1U cooler
now using a quite old supermicro case CSE-512 with PSU supermicro ablecom 260W 1u power supply


Proxmox running, no VM's idle at 30.1w
using the command stress-ng -c 12 -l 100 : 132W

definitively need to work on :
- the airflow on this case, cooler combo. I will need to add some sunon 40mm or blower style coolers
- some pico-psu, leicke or meanwell combo, would like to stay 1U short depth

The goal for this setup is to have 10gb ethernet and at least 2 nvme drives for storage, maybe truenas scale in passthrough or native zfs on the proxmox host.

FYI: 2 retailers in EU (Germany) are retailing the Ryzen 5600x cpu with prices floating between 101,- and 110,- EUR

FYI, the seller will ship to the USA if you email them. Shipping costs are kinda high though. I bought three units with the intent of keeping one and selling the other two. I'm doing firmware and BIOS upgrades on all three, and also doing some basic burn-in testing on them.

I'm halfway through testing of the second board, so far, everything just works as expected. These do seem to be surprisingly power efficient. My on-desk test setup:
  • Gigabyte MC12-LE0 motherboard
  • AMD Ryzen 7 5700x CPU
  • 4x32GB ECC UDIMM Crucial MTA18ASF4G72AZ-3G2R OR 2x16GB ECC UDIMM Kingston 9965669-008.A03G
  • Noctua NH-U9S cooler w/92mm fan
  • Seasonic Focus SGX-500 80+ Gold SFX-L PSU
  • Intel 320-series 80GB SATA SSD
  • Proxmox 8.2 stock install
  • One network cable attached to IPMI interface and a second attached to one of the on-board NICs
I am using a Kill-a-Watt meter for measuring power consumption, so these are unlikely to be precise numbers, but it seems similar to what others have posted. So this is "from the wall", i.e. total system power consumption.

At idle, power consumption seems to settle around 20-24 Watts. Surprisingly, the amount of RAM (128GB vs 32GB) did not seem to make much difference in power draw. I did similar testing a long time ago with a different board+CPU, but with RDIMMs, and it seems those are very power-hungry.

The first board I tested was with the 128GB of RAM. I ran over 24 hours of memtest86 with no errors. I then ran 12 or so hours of prime95 (also without issue). The second board did 12 hours of memtest86 and just started the prime95 test, so far so good.

I also have a picoPSU-160-xt and a 192 Watt 12v DC brick that I want to try with this, to see how its efficiency compares to the Seasonic.

If anyone is interested in taking one or two of the spares off my hands (when testing is done), feel free to PM me.

I will be super interested to see comparison of supersonic Vs Pico on idle and load. :)
