BIOS Installation

• Download the correct .zip file below for your motherboard:

         121-VR-A577-KR - EVGA X570 FTW
         121-VR-A579-KR - EVGA X570 DARK

• Extract the contents of the .zip file to a USB flash drive (must be formatted as FAT32).
• Next, reboot the machine and go into your motherboard BIOS and load defaults.  Save, reboot, and re-enter the BIOS.
• Click on the "Extras" button on the upper-left of the BIOS, and select "BIOS Update" from the drop-down menu.
• Navigate to where you placed the BIOS file and select the correct .bin file.
• The BIOS will ask you to confirm that you've selected the correct file.
• Press "Yes" to start the flash process
• DO NOT TURN OFF POWER OR RESET DURING THE FLASH PROCESS
• After the flashing is finished, the system will automatically shut down. Then power on again and go into BIOS to setup.

 
Please let me know if anyone runs into problems with this update.  Thanks!

I've been pretty happy running my 4000 cl16 kit at 3800 cl14, though it boot xmp with zero issues and the profiles ive tried work great as well...manual tuning has been a bit more difficult at the 4000 mts lvl, excited to see how this might affect that.

Just tried updating to the 1.08 BIOS and now I can't get past the sign in.  Says my pin is longer available, go to sign in options but I can't get past this no pin thing.
 
Was going from 1.07 to 1.08.  Tried booting into the second BIOS which is still 1.01 BIOS and can not get past the sign in.  I have not tried the third BIOS which is still 1.01.
 
I loaded the defaults in the 1.07 Bios before the flash like always.  Flash seemed normal like any other time I have done it to one of these boards. 
 
Back to BIOS 1.07 and I still can't get past the log on thing.  Says my pin is longer available.  Looks like I am reloading win11 to fix this issue.  First problem I have had flashing a BIOS.

I have had that same issue twice now. The BIOS default for the X570 Dark is to enable AMD fTPM, and since it's recommended to reset it to defaults at each update and we generally do so, each time it turns back on and deleting your Windows login credentials (atleast from my understanding and after having done it to myself twice, feel free to explain how that feature/function works exactly). And each new BIOS also have it enabled by default.
 
It's certainly a headache, and i was only saved by my phone (which is over a decade old and barely works), but i was able to get to my windows recovery key and reset it both times (it was very troublesome and concerning either way).

Have had this happen on a few Bios updates, so these days I just leave ftpm on and have had no issues, am aware that ftpm has caused issues for some setups but I havent noticed any stuttering with my setup...I'm also still running windows 10 so ymmv

I also still run Win 10, but i have had nothing but issues leaving the feature on since i got the board, so i prefer having it off. Sadly it makes each BIOS update tedious.

New pc. 5800x3d x570 dark gskill 32GB 4000c14 ram. Should I go on 1.07 or 1.08 bios? I’ll be on win 11 pro

Wait for full release 1.08, use 1.07 meanwhile

This is now the official 1.08.  No change in the files since this was originally posted.  We only posted it early this time due to the updated AGESA version, which many people had been asking for.

Hey Lee, thank you very much, time to download then!!!
TrustNox then i guess your question is newly answered, time to 1.08

This was the reason a lot of people were waiting for AGESA 1.2.0.7.  It fixes performance issues related to fTPM.

This bios still does not fix the issue of 5800x3d not using the 45 multi

redhatownage
i think i found the issue
fit scaler set to 0 allows the cpu to hit the 45.5 multi, someone might wanna forward that the the bios guys
 

We tested this, but couldn't reproduce.  Our 5800X3D ran at 45.5 with the fit scalar at 1.  Could you provide more information or details about the issue?

He is on a Dark, and on the picture you have provided Lee it seems to be the FTW, would that not matter?

Although it's possible it may make a difference, the BIOS team didn't mention whether they tried both boards.  They are looking for additional information, since they aren't seeing an issue on their end.

what other information would be needed?
another user and i both cant get 45 multi under normal conditions, without the help of software.
both our boards are x570 dark on bios 1.07, both retail 5800x3d. Even in bios it usually shows highest boost clock, but its at 44.5 multi

I am re-arranging my hardware, and I am trying to decide whether to use a 5800X3D with a EVGA x570 Dark or one of another brand's x570 motherboards. Is PBO and CO turned on when booting up with a 5800X3D installed? If not, is there a plan to release a BIOS version permitting the use of PBO and CO with a 5800X3D?

Is it possible the x570 firmware has issues with modern ps/2 gaming keyboards?

I can't get my ps/2 gaming keyboard to respond across the port, but an old IBM model M works fine.

I posted more details in the "Rear IO panel quality" thread.

Not sure man, i somewhat recently got my 5800X3D and before installing upgraded to 1.08 and it works fine. Have you tried switching to another BIOS (with the onboard manual switch) yet, and perhaps upgrading that one to 1.08? Also made sure the flashing was successful and done on the correct header?
My very first flash on the X570 DARK got actually corrupted, despite me thinking everything was done correctly, i could tell because whenever i tried to changed nearly any BIOS settings i would get error codes, hard reboots and just generally not getting into windows.
If anything, try to re-flash to 1.08, just make sure the flash drive is FAT32 formatted and only has the BIOS file (like EVGA recommends) and you do it from the BIOS Flash header next to the POST led indicators on the board (to elaborate on this, the method matters and simply doing a re-flash have solved BIOS related issues in the past if somehow an update went wrong, it's not a guarantee but is worth doing).
 
If after trying multiple BIOS positions (this ensures it's not a faulty BIOS chip out of 3) and making sure it's not the BIOS itself (with the reflash) the only thing that it can be is the board itself, considering you already said the CPU is confirmed to be working, so after that the only thing left to do is talk to their Customer Support, they will have a better idea or will set you up towards and RMA if it turns out to be the case!
