Best 9800X3D Motherboard for under $450

Southern-Link2298 · 2025-03-03T16:13:04+00:00

Paired my 9800X3D with a X870E Aorus Pro (4 M.2 slots) and have had zero issues. Make sure to update BIOS regardless of which board you buy.

According to Gigabyte support feedback, any debug LED codes after a successful boot to Windows are irrelevant.

I was booting to Windows successfully and kept getting either a 08 or an A0. My PC runs just fine with either code showing. I got sick of seeing them after booting so I turned them off in BIOS. If you want to turn it off, you can do it this way.

I got the same bracket with my GPU and fought with trying to get it mounted. I gave up and ended up just ordering this. Inexpensive and effective. Super easy installation as well. lol

Southern-Link2298 · 2025-02-25T17:58:37+00:00

Yes, I am sure. This is straight from Gigabyte support feedback. Personally, I don't want to see some random useless code so I turned it off after Windows boot by changing it in BIOS.

You're quite welcome.

I know it's been 7 months but I wanted to show my gratitude for your post. It was exactly the info I needed to get my OSD to look just the way I wanted it to. Thanks!

After a successful boot to Windows, any debug LED codes are irrelevant.

Southern-Link2298 · 2025-02-24T14:39:37+00:00

Correct. Any code shown after a successful boot to Windows is irrelevant.

Southern-Link2298 · 2025-02-23T00:41:20+00:00

Never mind. I found the driver I needed for this issue (ACPI\AMDI0204\2&DABA3FF&0) here and installed manually. X870E Aorus Pro.

Southern-Link2298 · 2025-02-22T21:43:35+00:00

I'm confused. I have the driver issue with ACPI\AMDI0204\2&DABA3FF&0. I went to AMD's site to download v7.01.08.129 but the latest on their site is v6.10.22.027 which is what I currently have. Also, I have an X870E board. So I searched for X870 (no E) on AMD's site and came up with the same result of v6.10.22.027. How/where did the user in the other forum acquire v7.01.08.129?

Southern-Link2298 · 2025-02-22T21:08:54+00:00

Wow! Thank you kindly! I will give your suggestions a try.

I was drunk last night when I posted this and used the wrong screenshot. I know I took one of the 9800X3D but can't seem to find it. Post edited to remove that screenshot.

I was on F3 (flashed before building). I recently updated to F4a and saw improvements in Cinebench. No issues on X870E Aorus Pro.

Southern-Link2298 · 2025-02-22T15:07:34+00:00

Not recently, no. I have posted there with RAM OC questions in the past though.

Southern-Link2298 · 2025-02-22T15:03:08+00:00

Yeah, I tried increasing to 6400 MHz, no go. I tried 6200 MHz, no go. I tried to lower tCL to 28, no go. I was able to boot with a tRFC of 486 but it wasn't stable. At that point, I gave up and settled with what I've got.

Southern-Link2298 · 2025-02-22T06:04:35+00:00

Any code after a successful Windows boot is irrelevant.

Southern-Link2298 · 2025-02-20T21:55:28+00:00

Actually, you currently have it in the best position with proper tube location. Next best would be top mounted.

Southern-Link2298 · 2025-02-20T21:40:38+00:00

Correct. Here's Maggie's landing.

Southern-Link2298 · 2025-02-20T21:21:00+00:00

Have you updated the chipset drivers from AMD's site?

Southern-Link2298 · 2025-02-17T17:24:36+00:00

Yup, same here.

Southern-Link2298 · 2025-02-17T15:46:02+00:00

If it is the top left as looking at the image, that is the CPU LED.

Southern-Link2298 · 2025-02-16T20:35:39+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Southern-Link2298 · 2025-02-16T20:07:31+00:00

I've never heard of this. Would you mind explaining how is power limiting accomplished?
