Gigabyte Aorus AX370 Gaming 5 / 7 bug report thread

[Ket]

Welcome to the Gigabyte Aorus AX370 Gaming 5 / 7 Thread!

Firstly I will start off by saying I like the AX370 Gaming 5 / 7 boards, on a hardware level they aren't too bad, but the astonishingly under developed UEFI and the amount of bugs it has in it has prompted the birth of this thread out of concern and necessity. Getting these issues ironed out as quickly as possible are in everybody's best interest. I hope getting these issues out there, letting everyone know what they are getting themselves in to at this stage will prompt Gigabyte in to addressing them as quickly as possible with immediate effect. I will also be reaching out to Gigabyte to see what they have to say and giving them a link to this thread.

Gigabyte Aorus AX370 Gaming 5 / 7 User Requested Features

1. Change date format from MM/DD/YY to DD/MM/YY
2. Change current UEFI layout, it's clunky and all around poor
3. Put Q-Flash somewhere immediately visible in the UEFI
4. Temperature sensors could do with some re-calibration, appear to be inaccurate by 2.7c (measured with Infrared temperature gun, DT8380)
5. Add options to disable on-board devices, such as audio.
6. Add feature to be able to screen capture UEFI menus when a USB storage device is plugged in
7. Memory multiplier is limited to a maximum of loaded XMP profile. Is There a way to be able to set higher multipliers in the works?


Gigabyte Aorus AX370 Gaming 5 / 7 Confirmed UEFI Bugs & Issues

Gaming 5:

1. Mouse input / responsiveness is laggy in UEFI. Experienced with hardware: Roccat Kova+
2. Resolution appears to be stretched at POST and with the Windows 10 logo while booting when Aorus splash screen is disabled. Experienced with hardware: BenQ GL2450 connected via HDMI, Gigabyte Windforce3 GTX 980
3. LED keyboards are unusable in the UEFI once they enter sleep mode (keyboard backlight goes out) until a reboot. Experienced with hardware: Ares K5, Sunt PK35
4. XMP profile must be loaded before memory multipliers will work. Experienced with hardware: G.Skill Ripjaws V 3200MHz (F4-3200C15D-16GVK)
5. XMP and memory multiplier options are in both Advanced Frequency and Memory Settings menus
6. CPU Clock Ratio is in both MIT and Advanced CPU Core settings menus
7. Apparently redundant naming for some settings in the UEFI. Eg; CPU LLC: Normal, Standard, Medium. Three settings, all essentially with the same meaning. If settings do have small differences, rename for clarity. Eg; Level 1, Level 2, Level 3.
8. Extremely bad latency, possibly Agesa related and Windows 10 related. See below image for this one. Removing the memory sticks then putting them back in seems to fix latency for the first boot but then latency problem returns on the next boot or reboot.



Real world impact of this latency problem:



Gaming 7:

None reported so far, but most of the issues above probably effect the Gaming 7 as well.
