Personally I've seen a performance loss going from AGESA 1003 to 1004 (in some tasks and synthetics, yet to test gaming) boot times are definitely better but my clock frequency with auto OC+PBO = Mobo enabled on my x570 Aorus Master (mirrored pre updated settings) are very spiky and inconsistent whereas the previous behaviour was relatively smooth. Thus I have lost approx 1-2% performance in Cinebench R15 with the average clock around 4.175 down from 4.25 - 4.3 hopefully AMD and Gigabyte will correct this, its similar overcompensation to the earlier AGESA revisions.

Buildzoid did say the Master should last "until the heat death of the universe" haha seems it may have been an issue with a bios revision over volting the cpu basically

Bad news for all of you, i pulled the board from my server to test the CPU and my 3800x that was in the master is dead, re tested master with a 3600 out of my server and its working fine. Everyone in this thread probably has a dead CPU not mobo

yeah the bios chip on this board is socketed, gonna try and get Gigabyte to send me a new bios chip, q flash plus processed fine but still getting the same issue, used the dip switches to try different bios setups and all the same so i think the chip has failed completely.

I have just had the same issue, was playing rust, thought it was a power outtage or fluctuation as the system died, now won't boot, hits code 90 and freezes. Have tried clear cmos and breadboarding it. About to pull my cpu and try q flash + 3800x Corsair h150i pro Aorus master x570 Trident z Royal 2x 16GB 3200 Msi gaming x 1080ti Samsung 970 evo 1tb nvme Corsair r750i

780 is vastly superior, go with that if its in working order. I would replace the thermal compound on it with something like arctic silver as there is a fair chance it may have dried out. I had a 780 and replaced the TIM after 2.5 yrs

SLI has never been great, always go with a single more powerful card if you can, especially nowadays.

an 8400 will be plenty however, a 6 core Ryzen would be a bit better in this application with its hyper threading and higher OC.

this is an ultra wide, it has the better part of 35% more pixels than a normal 1440p display, gtx 1080s can struggle to push v high to ultra on them, speaking as someone with a 1080 ftw 2

a 980 would struggle hard even on an ultra wide 1440p display, thats still a heck of a lot of pixels to push o.0

agree with the posts above, just wanted to add that you should be wary of buying second hand drives as they may have already been thrashed and the performance may be already degraded. it's probably fine, just something to watch out for

any 1080p monitor, depends if you prefer ips or tn, high refresh rates or image quality/color reproduction

wouldn't be surprised if your 480 had the power draw issue all the reference models had initially and over drew on the PCIE slot, killing it. I believe it was fixed in driver/ firmware updates but, it may have just worn your board's slot out, if the board itself didn't have a factory defect leading to it dying prematurely.

the good old 'only wrong answers meme' haha

lol fair call, I had a ghz edition 780 so luckily, it had pretty good TIM out of the gate and i didn't really see much change going to Gelid GC xtreme that i use on my cpu
