Dear [H],
Update 1/10/24: Gigabyte pulled all BIOS after F37 from their website. I downgraded to F37 and now SAM is working.
I hope someone has a nifty trick to share with me on this one. It's a longshot for sure.
I just went from a 3800X to a 5800X3D. I retained the same motherboard, GPU and RAM = Gigabyte Aorus X570 Elite, RX5700, 2x8 Patriot Viper 4400 (SB8)
Prior to upgrading I've always had access to Smart Access Memory, even though AMD doesn't list RX 5000 series as supported.
When I dropped in the 5800X3D, I had to upgrade my BIOS from F35 to F38f.
At this point, everything was defaulted. No more DRAM OC from my previous profile.
SAM was working and games were running great. I had a huge boost in FPS compared to my 3800X.
However, I just had to try to get CL14 @ 3800mhz 1:1 with 1900mhz fabric. Didn't work, found stability with 3733.
At this point I'm thinking, "No Problem, I can live with this" ... Until I rebooted and discovered SAM was Not Available
I *suspect* manipulating my BIOS DRAM settings with the integralfx/MemTestHelper guide helped me inadvertently take Sam out to the pasture.
Maybe the recommended voltage adjustment of my VSOC, VDPP and VDDG played a part?
I've tried a handful of troubleshooting steps to get it enabled again with no luck. There are still things I can do, but I figured I would poke around here first before bashing my face against it. (update: my face has been, and continues to be bashed)
I'm aware SAM is not officially supported with my configuration, but it did work briefly until I reconfigured my DRAM settings which leaves me with hope.
I have been told that SAM isn't even worth it, but I have noticed a big difference personally.
Things I've tried in order:
Thanks in advance for any input

On AMD, start with 1.10 V SOC, 0.95 V VDDP, 0.95 V VDDG CCD, and 1.05 V VDDG IOD.

Things I've tried in order:
- Disabled CSM (and enable/disable with reboots)
- Enabled Above 4G Decoding (and enable/disable with reboots)
- Enabled Resize BAR (and enable/disable with reboots)
- Load Optimized Defaults (default voltages and dram settings)
- Newest GPU Drivers, Newest Chipset drivers
- Defaulted Ryzen Master config
- AMD Cleanup Utility then latest Adrenaline driver install (thanks learners permit)
- Uninstalled Ryzen Master
- Experimenting with Secure Boot and TPM settings. All drives/partitions are GPT and SecureBoot is enabled
- Manually enabling SAM in Registry
- DDU with another fresh driver install
- Reseated GPU and RAM
- Downgrade to F37 (FIXED IT FOR ME)
Thanks in advance for any input
