Hello there,
I Wanted to say I'm very disappointed with the X470D4U motherboard.
I own 3 of these, and go from problems to problems since I purchased them.
I use them with Ryzen 5 2600 processors and 2x16 GB RAM.
First i had BMC and BIOS version 1.50.
The RAM wasn't recognized well, the web GUI was unstable., there was keyboard problems when not in Qwerty mode, and clearing CMOS didn't work.
Also, one of the motherboard didn't boot at all after 2 weeks of use and had to be changed by reseller by another new one.
So I upgraded BMC to 1.60 and BIOS to 3.10 to see if things could get better.
Now this is worst.
The motherboards get stuck on "Update FRU System device" if I don't unplug my Ethernet cards (Mellanox ConnectX-3 Pro). These cards were working flawlessly before the update.
Also now when you reset the computer, this also reset the IPMI half of the time.
So all BIOS and BMC are buggy and i never saw this before on professional hardware. I already lost dozens of hours trying to make these motherboards work with pluging/unpluging components and starting/restarting and now i'm just thinking of throwing them away and buy another brand hardware.
