Hello,
I received the answer from Gigabyte support that F2 and FA0 BIOSes are incompatible with the card which had originally F60 VBIOS version. This is only for cards with originally F1 VBIOS version. Perhaps at the beginning there were cards with F1 VBIOS version but currently they sold cards with F60 VBIOS versions. The compatible updates should be F6x versions and you should be able to find it with Aorus Engine BIOS update option. For now I don't see any new version. Maybe there will be in the future, we will see.
But for now I found and followed the interesting instruction. You can change some VBIOS parameters by modifying SoftPowerPlayTable (SPPT) which is stored in Windows registry instead of modifying and flashing VBIOS. This overrides some VBIOS parameter and you can change it via MorePowerTool windows application (probably you have to have adminitrator privilleges and run it as administrator). Please look into the link:

I've tested this on my Gigabyte RX 5600 XT Gaming and had no black/green screens and freezes. What I have done:
- I flashed original F60 VBIOS version, this one: VGA Bios Collection: Gigabyte RX 5600 XT 6 GB | TechPowerUp
- then I installed MorePowerTool application https://www.igorslab.de/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/MorePowerTool_Setup.exe
- next I changed some parameter via MorePowerTool: I mean GPU clock speed to 1750 Mhz (via setting Power limit GPU: 160 and TDC Limit GFX: 150 options) and set memory to 14 Gbps (via setting Memory DPM 3 to 875). You can use file prepared by me: F60_1615_1750Mhz_14Gbps.mpt and load it into MorePowerTool via Load button - I've copied the most of this values from Sapphire RX 5600 XT Pulse due to it has no similar issues
- after that I've clicked Write SPPT - it saves new changed parameters into Windows registry and override VBIOS values
- restarted Windows to reload changed parameters into Windows
- after reboot I had changed values in GPU-Z (memory clocks set to 1750 Mhz instead of 1500 Mhz)
After all I've tested it via 3D Mark tests and had no issue. Before these operations I had 6700 points score in 3D Mark Time Spy test after that over 7400 for graphic card so it seems to be working correctly.
Adrenalin drivers version I've installed: 20.4.2. Remember also to reset adrenalin/msi afterburn overclocked values to default in adrenalin software
I encourage you to try this on your cards because it looks quite safe, at worst case you will have to reinstall Windows and the new one will have clean Windows registry.
Please test it on more challenging games, I wasn't able to do this yet because I don't have time for games due to family stuff.
