Flash same bios like your first one to b-bios, save you profiles from main bios to usb und upload it to backup bios. It should works without any problems. After it you can try main bios Chip,  but I’m not sure if it will works better.

how is the position of your bios switches? Have you selected single bios or dual bios?

Yes, I am not sure either if that will work. Just thinking about and trying solutions.
Yes, running dual bios. Had g7400 ran on the other one and profiles.

Will give this a  go now.

Thanks for you help, Gents!
Will let you know if it works or not.

Can you try a 12100 ?

Worked for me .

Not had chance to try KS or any other chip.

Well F..... me running!

I got it working. Not sure what actually did the trick. I switched the biosses a couple of times, flashed known good bios on them and then just flashed the x4b in the bios. 

I am able to alter settings now. Tried a known faulty setting so I had to re-enter the bios again and it worked. No screens freezing. Used limp button as wel. Works.

It beats me but I ain't complaining (yet)

Finally able to do some tuning. 

Already able to boot higher mem frequency with my mediocre mem kit.

 

Much abliged for the suggestions and thinking with me to overcome the obstacle. ?

Just tried KS and I am unable to boot into BIOS on x4b.

Gives me the BIOS option option and then goes blank after selecting BIOS.

Goes into OS fine but not BIOS.

12100 goes into BIOS and OS fine .

Could try a few other 12th gen chips I suppose.

Weird eh ?

Must be doing something wrong ?

KS wasn’t important for me because 13gen can do higher clocks and Mem frequency, this is why I don’t tested it before. Only 12gen with AVX512, this is why I’ve changed microcode in Bios and replaced one of them.

Any got a 7970 to work on the Z690 tachyon?  I can't get mine to work

 

Also got a GTX 590 on the way, hopefully can get that going!

& no solution.  sergmann, report (whenever possible) the problem to the Bios guys from gigabyte, + return the save bios option?

@BOBKOC

have you tested this GPU with older X-Bios versions? Does it work? Have you load defaults before you have changed GPU and removed power from Board? I can`t test this GPU becaus I don`t have it.

If you still with 12th gen CPU and GPU works with older bios versions, I would stay with it ;).

I should have one 7970 GPU here, can try it also with my Z690 board.

2:30 AM in Germany ?I couldn’t find my 7970 but 290x. Have tested it on z690 with X4b and x3k with 12900k and 13900k, don’t works but it works on z790. 
I know this GPU was working on z690 before, have to check which bios I’ve used for it

Yep, this was starting to get interesting. giga_z690+AMD_GPU_x16=??

Edited October 31, 2022 by BOBKOC

[sergmann]

You can still use your GPU on z690 without issues with F6 bios until problem with x-bios is solved ?

I can’t see any XOC scores from you, so why you use X-Bios?

So i'm on a 13900K and X4b bios.

And I'm getting great results with a-die ocing.

but for some reason, if i enter cpu VDD / cpu VDDq, i cannot get it to boot with manual voltage settings.

but If i leave it on auto, i've gotten the board to boot up to 8266. 

Auto voltages are being reported as CPU_VDD 1.45v , CPU_VDDQ 1.40v in hwinfo. IF i try to key in those same values, or a little higher, it fails to train.


what am I missing guys? 


got this sweet score in the mean time.

1. Similarly,  if Δ+-0.5 ака 1.44 +1.39 or 1.46+1.41 ?

2. What are your mem training Settings(on on,off&auto)?

For new CPU’s set SA to 1.25v, more isn’t necessary. DRAM VDD settings are the best for me at the moment 1.25/1.40 for a-die and m-die

Bios(F20,X4b) in Auto set 1.25v(+-LLC) on SA. Besides, new giga Bios F20(now no b ) did not solve the problem on my AMD_GPU https://community.hwbot.org/topic/210084-gigabyte-z690-tachyon/?do=findComment&comment=629868

Sounds great! I hope it also works good with A-Dies.
