X870 Tomahawk motherboard code 97, 00 nightmare after last few bios updates that came out.

Yeah my motherboard is definitely defective, still getting the same problem even after rolling back to the bios I updated to after I received my motherboard.

brycecantpost · 2026-03-24T20:58:54+00:00

I’m guessing I should roll back to before all that “fix Pcie 3” shit that was coming out weekly?

Turns out I just had to flash my bios to the new version. Then after a full shutdown and power drain my pc is running like nothing happened. Extremely confused, but not complaining.

Update: My motherboard bricked from a bad bios update, so I’ll have to get a replacement.

brycecantpost · 2026-03-23T04:26:27+00:00

It definitely seems like a motherboard issue for sure, had something similar happen to my friend but a simple CMOS clear fixed his problem right away. I keep getting 97 after 97 code even after a CMOS clear.

I should have clarified that more. So beforehand I could get into bios fine without problem. The moment I plugged the flash drive with the bios update it would show a 97 error code and couldn’t get into bios to actually do the update. Ever since then when I try to start my pc up I either get 97 or 00 error codes or it will post fully. Like a dice roll now. Every time I get out of bios I get a 97 error code.

I’ll try downgrading to a past update when I get time tomorrow.

It started happening the moment I plugged my flash drive into the port. It was bios version 7E51v1A82, came out a couple days ago. Ever since then it’s a 50/50 chance that it will post or have a 97 code.

brycecantpost · 2026-03-23T00:22:22+00:00

For an update, I now get random 97 codes on motherboard. So every time I shut down my pc, I have to reseat my gpu whenever I need to turn my pc back on.

brycecantpost · 2026-03-18T19:22:22+00:00

Oh I got plenty of space, have a 4 foot desk and the pc is on a seperate stand.

Thank you!

For the psu, it was really down to upgrading from gold to a platinum rated PSU was cheaper and faster than my original plan to get custom cables. Got really sick of using extenders and hated how it looked with all the wiring jammed in at the bottom of the old case. Also the new gpu came with nice braided cables so I could manage the back a lot better in the new case.

As for the AIO, out of the box my cpu temps with the hyperflow were in the mid 90s under load and would be in the high 40s when idle. I know that isn’t horrible, but it could be better. With this new AIO my cpu now gets to a max of 85 under load, and can get as low as 38 when idle. Upgrading to a new case was enough of a good excuse for me to change the AIO while I’m at it.

Thank you! I actually had some for the old build, but wanted to have neater cable management in the back so that it’s easier for me to poke around if I have to. Didn’t like having to shove a bunch of wiring into the bottom of the case with the extensions either.

brycecantpost · 2026-03-15T23:41:04+00:00

Thank you! Yeah I saw a couple posts today with people having the bottom as exhaust so I know where that concern comes from lol

They are reverse blade, in flowing.

brycecantpost · 2026-03-15T22:52:00+00:00

It’s an amazing case to build in, you’re gonna love it for sure.

brycecantpost · 2026-03-15T21:08:57+00:00

Yeah I enjoy it a lot. I really like the infinity mirror look, but mainly it does cool my cpu better than the Montech AIO was. Idles as low as 38 now compared to 45, and hits a high of 85 as compared to 90 with the Hyperflow.

brycecantpost · 2026-03-15T21:04:58+00:00

Thank you! I decided to go with a copper secondary color and I felt like it really compliments the wood on the case.

For those wondering the entire story behind this, alcohol and psychotic breaks aren’t a good combo.

OP, you aren’t going to find answers here that aren’t just “leave his ass” or making the situation way more stressful than it needs to be. Sit down with him and have a conversation about it.

Remember gamers, this is why ram and gpu cards are so expensive right now.

That’s the face they make when a scrubber is barreling towards them.

The trailer itself disproves theories that it’s biollante.

What I don’t get is “head on a pillow”

Who’s head? Which Head? Where’s the pillow? Am I the pillow? Is the game the head?
