Yes, you can hook a fan or fans to any of those headers, and you can drive a pair of fans from one header with a splitter and still regulate the speed (obviously, both fans will run at the same speed).



Great :) Thank you very much.

Yeah, I'm hoping this issue gets fixed as well. I'd very much prefer that my case fans are observing CPU temp instead of TCTRL but if it can't monitor the temps effectively, it's kinda pointless.

AMD Motherboards : Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming K4 - Ethernet not detected

Posted: 18 Sep 2018 at 10:10pm

Last night I was watching a movie, then shut down my PC and went to sleep. Everything was normal. This morning I switched on my PC and after the desktop loaded, I noticed that my NAS device (and it's drives) were not showing up in windows explorer. The NAS is directly connected via ethernet into the ethernet port of the motherboard. I checked device manager and the port was not showing there either under "Network devices". Here are some of the solutions I tried to fix this issue (but NONE worked);

1. Reinstall the RealTek LAN drivers (version hosted on ASRock MB page)
2. Install newer RealTek LAN drivers (from RealTek website)
3. Remove and replace CMOS battery
4. Short CMOS pins
5. Update from BIOS 4.60 to BIOS version 5.00 (latest stable version)
6. Windows 10 Network Reset

None of these fixed it. The RealTek onboard ethernet does NOT show in Network Devices in Device Manager. When installing the RealTek drivers, I got a message saying that "The RealTek Network controller was not found". Physically when plugging or unplugging an ethernet cable - there is no change in light activity. The only light working on the ethernet port is an amber/orange light that is constant. This gives me reason to believe that the ethernet port is still physically working. For some unknown reason, it just seems like Windows 10 can't detect it - no hardware or software detect. Device manager does not show any "unknown device" with an exclamation mark. I'm not even sure why it disappeared. I did not mess with any settings or uninstall or install anything between when it was working and when it stopped working. 



TECH SPEC: 
Win 10 64bit 1803
Ryzen 5 1600
G.skill 16Gb DDR4 2400Mhz (8Gb x2)

Softpedia is an official download portal, and often more regularly updated than the MU Catalog, as you can see HERE. The MU Catalog also only tends to have barebones drivers with no installers or accompanying software that may come as part of the driver package, Softpedia does Cool

Firstly
in regards to the bios updates, I had the dreaded problem of the gpu
underclocking on the and ryzen 3 2200g. I believe this problem was fixed
on agesa 1.0.0.2
Now that update came out April time and other
board manufactures had this available the same month but for my board
from asrock the bios update only came out last week so a 5 month wait
compared to others is a long wait no matter how much you try and justify
that asrock test them more, that's to long for a problem that was
making my system almost unusable for what I needed it for.
There was a
beta bios added to support in May but this did not work for me. Kodi
froze up my system on starting this program using this bios but no other
bios version caused this problem.
So basically I purchased this
a320m-hdv board 6 months ago and I'm now only just able to use it for
what I purchased it for after waiting 5 months for this update which
other manufactures released 5 months ago! (Surely you can see my anger
towards asrock based in this)

Secondly regarding drivers, I use
to get my drivers direct from manufacture but have had a couple of
problems with missing chipset drivers in the past by doing it this way,
downloading from manufacture has solved this.
Also it appears realtek no longer update the hd audio driver no more as it's a old version on there site.
But
again this is my point regarding slow updates, if say I go to msi for
example and choose one of there a320 chipset boards they have upto date
drivers that match the version on the manufactures website.

Thirdly my last problem I'm still trying to figure out is the power management.
I have the a320m-hdv board with a ryzen 3 2200g and changing power plans does not have any change on the processor speed.
I have high performance, amd ryzen balanced, normal balanced and power save.
I would assume selecting high performance the processor should run at full power but it doesn't.
The amd ryzen balanced is suppose to idle at 90% but it doesn't.
Basically my processor idles at 1.5ghz no matter what power plan is selected which suggest to me it's not working.
In the past I've always set up all my computers to high performance and they have always ran 100% (verified by cpu-z).
I like it that way, my computer is only on when I use it so don't need to power save.
I mainly use my computer for photo editing with Adobe lightroom but also do a little light gaming.
Since
having this new build I have a occasional lag within lightroom that I
believe is down to the processor constantly changing clock speed. Every
so often I get the blue circle and lightroom says it's not responding
for a few seconds then comes back to life. It's kind of annoying as my
old build does not do this.
I've even fresh installed Windows 10 on the old and new build in the exactly the same way with only lightroom installed.
Only difference is the old build when I select high performance power plan the cpu actually stays at 100%.
The old build has a amd Athlon x4 641 cpu with half the amount of ram and just seems to perform better.
I feel as though I've just wasted my money.


1.
That is a long wait? I'm not sure why you had to wait so long a quick
check on the A320M-HDV page shows firmware updates have been coming
pretty thick and fast, every couple months or so. In all honesty you
haven't missed anything with AMDs AGESA 1002a it was very, very buggy.
The latest 1004C from AMD is very solid though.

2. Realtek do release updated drivers still bizarrely not on their website though instead you can find them HERE. Personally I've never had an instance where the drivers coming direct from source have been missing parts.

3.
That is odd, I've never heard of a power plan issue quite like that.
Not owning a 2200G I'm shooting from the hip a bit here but some
suggestions;

- Set power plan to high performance in Windows > click "Change plan settings" > click "change advanced power settings".

- Go to "Processor power management" > scroll to the minimum and maximum processor states, are both of them set to 100%?

Secondly, download firmware 3.4 and 4.9 from HERE
If you are already running firmware 3.4 then skip downloading that and
download 4.9. Extract the archive and place the firmware image on a FAT
formatted USB stick, reboot, enter the firmware and update to 4.9 via
Instant Flash. If you aren running a firmware older than 3.4 you MUST
update to 3.4 before updating to 4.9.

If the above doesn't work theres a few more things you can try search the firmware for and change the following;

Increase shared memory to at least 1G (if nothing else you'll have a smoother gaming experience)
See if you have a C6 mode option in the firmware, if so disable it
Look for an option labelled PSPP (PCIe Speed Power Policy) if you have one, set it to "Performance"
Look for the HPET Table option, disable it

Let me know how that goes.



Don't
need to get Realtek audio drivers from a third party when Microsoft
Update Catalog has them available and are pushed as they are released.??


So
in response to all of this I can confirm I already have bios version
4.90 this is the update that came out 9 days ago with the agesa update
1.0.0.4
The last agesa update to my board was back in march and was
only 1.0.0.1 which still had these gpu problems, according to amd forum
they were fixed with amd agesa update 1.0.0.2 which is what I keep
saying about other manufactures applying the update to there boards
april/May time.
So asrock released agesa update March then September
that's actually 6 months I had to wait for this update to fix my
problems and I can confirm that now using the latest bios version all
gpu glitches have now gone but I still have this annoying power
management problem.
My high performance power plan is at min/max cpu state 100%, that's not the problem
My gpu shared memory has always been at 1gb
I don't have any c6 state options in the bios.
Pspp is already on performance.
And HPET is already disabled.

Still Windows power plans have no effect what's so ever.

But thanks for the info regarding the realtek drivers


Hmm, your issue is beginning to get mysterious at this point. Have you kept Task Manager open to monitor CPU usage to try and identify anything using an unusually high amount of CPU cycles at these "stalling points"? Do these stalls only happen when editing or when gaming as well? I'd also remove any chipset drivers you might be currently using and download the chipset drivers from amd.com. It would also be worth running HCI memtest and a BOINC scientific project to check CPU and memory stability just to make sure theres no problems there and check what your CPU temps are when these stalls happen as the CPU might be throttling itself. You could also try disabling CPB and manually setting CPU frequency and voltage in the firmware to see if that makes a difference.






I don't think you quite understand what I mean.
Changing power plans should effect the state of the processor.
My processor is rated at 3.5ghz, so if I choose the high performance power plan my processor should stay at 3.5ghz.
If I then choose balanced it should fluctuate in frequency as cpu power is needed.

That is not how my new build works.
My processor idles around 1.5ghz and jumps to 3.7ghz when needed.

No the problem is it operates in the way no matter what power plan I use, basically it has no effect and that is not how it's suppose to work.

In regards to the cbs setting and manually setting a frequency, I cannot do this and I believe it's a restriction of the a320m chipset.
Thanks

Posted: 19 Sep 2018 at 6:20am

Hello everyone, 

Got my x370itx board paired with a 2600. Mostly everything works great, ram at 3200 without any issue, but wifi is a bit finnicky so i amthinking of trying the latest BIOS(Mine came with 4.40). Hope it is not a bad idea as everything else works great but i would like to try as currently the wifi comes quite useful (and the XMP thing will help, i did build an itx to move around after all). 

Question do i update to the latest version right away, go through them all or go back to the bridge ?
Probably stupid question but i would rather ask it than get a headache from it later. 

Thank you all in advance

Posted: 19 Sep 2018 at 8:15am

Hi. This is a new build with all new parts. I've got the X399 Taichi, a Threadripper 2950x, Corsair Vengeance LPX memory (4x16GB DDR4, 3200MHz), and an EVGA GTX 1080 Ti. When I power on the machine, I get the following codes:

11
d8
dE
Ad
88
dF
10
08

Those codes loop a few times, then the board reboots. Eventually, that same loop of error codes is encountered and it reboots again. This continues until I stop it.

I tried flashing the CMOS (although I'm not sure if it was successful or not). I also upgraded the BIOS to version 3.30.

Does anyone know what might be going on? I'm not a very experienced builder, so I'm at a bit of a brick wall.

Thanks in advance.

Subject: X470 Taichi Audio driver problem
Posted: 18 Sep 2018 at 3:36am

I'm using the X470 Taichi with an 2700X and im seeing a bug when I use the Realtek high definition audio driver ver:8470_UAD_WHQL_2018_0622_142226. I use the microphone boost in the microphone settings to make my microphone work to where it can be heard clearly. The problem is when the computer starts up, the mic boost only works when the sound spoken into the mic is over a certain level, before that level the mic volume sounds like it is at 0 boost level, when I raise my voice over this unknown level the boost kicks in and the volume sounds normal. 
 
A temporary fix to the problem is to adjust the mic boost down then back up to the level you want it at and the bug stops until the next time the computer starts up. And this is happening on a clean windows install.
 
For the time being I have uninstalled the audio driver and the boost works fine with the default windows audio driver.
 
Help with this would be appreciated!

I have installed Windows 7 on a Samsung 960 EVO M.2 NVMe drive on an AB350 Pro4 with Ryzen 5 2600 with a degree of difficulty. It took me some time to get everything working as it should be, but I'm stuck on the USB ports.

Many of the USB ports aren't recognized by Windows 7 Device Manager. I have been able to get USB3_12 (#8 on pg 8 of manual) and USB3_34 (#7 on pg 8 of manual) to work.

USB12 (#1 on pg 8 of manual) doesn't work
USB31_TA_1 (#9 on pg 8 of manual) doesn't work
USB_1_2 (#21 on pg 7 of manual) doesn't work (USB header for front case ports)
USB3_5_6 (#8 on pg 7 of manual) doesn't work (USB 3 header for front cast port)

I haven't tested USB31_TC_1 because I haven't had reason to use a Type-C connection.

I've spent a good amount of time looking for answers online, but they all seem to point to having problems installing Windows 7, but it's been installed. Everything is working fine except for these USB ports.

I'm getting close to throwing in the towel and buying a PCIe USB card, but I'm hoping to get some help here.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Hi, I bought a set of these (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820236164) a year ago and I am using them currently. I want to get another pair and didn't know if they would work with the set that I am using. I looked in the Memory QVL (https://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/X370%20Killer%20SLIac/index.asp#Memory) and the manual but it didn't say anything about quadchannel or 4 sticks of RAM being used at the same time. Would they work or would it be best to save up for something else? If buying something else, what would you recommend (PC parts-wise)?

Running X370 Gaming K4 with 2.4 BIOS and a fresh install of Windows 10. I've got 64 gigs of Corsair Vengeance (3000 MHz CL15) running at 2666 MHz, which might have something to do with these issues... Other components: Ryzen 7 1800X, Corsair RM750x, GTX 1070.




Sorry for dragging up old thread, but this is the exact same issue I am having. Front USB just stopped working, and now back USB drop out frequently. Board is Fatality X370 gaming X with ryzen 2600, 16gb 3000mhz RAM and GTX 1060. Also having random occurrences of 'Windows 10 has experienced and issue' and PC resets. Had none of these issues with old MB, RAM and CPU. Board is not even a month old, RMA?

maybe i was too hard with the "full of bugs" part. 

the onboard-RGB leds have switched red and green channels.

the fan controller situation is not aceptable IMHO. how many boards are affected? all x470? all x370? do all this boards use the same BIOS (in parts)?

also the missing overheat protection, why even put a temp sensor on VRM if it does nothing!


i also try PBO yesterday again. 
cpu get more v and getting hotter, but i gain no mhz with it enabled. i play overwatch (4250 mhz) and cinebench to compare the boost clocks. is this even working?

Sorry for digging out this old thread, but I seem to be having the/a similar issue, so I was wondering if there is any solution for it by now?

For me the board/pc doesnt boot up when using the 19V Supply (tested with different, working supplies), but does boot when using an atx power supply. (So far I could only test with a 20 pin, didn't power my sata drive)

Hi,

I purchased an Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming K4 motherboard and in the manual for this board under ASmedia sata3 it has an IDE mode option for compatibility.
However, the option is no longer available in the most recent BIOS and I need this option for compatibility.

any chance I could get a custom BIOS with this compatibility option available?
