It is bizarre and completely a OS issue. The default windows gpu driver should have worked. I've read that you might want to look at previous stable releases. Random issues with Nividis drivers.

The other problem you're having was with dual boot, maybe someone can help with that. What OS you dual booting?]]> Wed, 09 Apr 2025 03:49:50 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=105014&PID=190068&title=how-awful-asrock-motherboards-are-pound#190068 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=105014&PID=190064&title=how-awful-asrock-motherboards-are-pound#190064 Author: sacrificedPawn

but at the same time it is supposed to give display from external GPU even if device is shown with an error code due to lack of driver.

No display is bullsh*t. what would I do if my CPU didn't have integrated GPU support. ]]> Wed, 09 Apr 2025 00:15:38 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=105014&PID=190064&title=how-awful-asrock-motherboards-are-pound#190064 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=105014&PID=189920&title=how-awful-asrock-motherboards-are-pound#189920 Author: M440

to be fair i would be very upset and moaning if i had spent good money on a rtx5070 gpu as well ...........

luckily enough i done the wise thing and paid less for a better rx9070 and im much happier in every way :)]]> Mon, 07 Apr 2025 04:47:37 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=105014&PID=189881&title=how-awful-asrock-motherboards-are-pound#189881 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=105014&PID=189737&title=how-awful-asrock-motherboards-are-pound#189737 Author: sacrificedPawn

sacrificedPawn wrote: I dont mean anything about graphic design. I just mean bios options, features. i.e. Enabling/disabling M2 slots through bios is not possible. Even bios of my laptop had such functionality. I am not a bios expert but, I honestly can say that amount of menus and options available in the bios is much much less than other bioses i have seen. made in 2013 asus z87 motherboard had much more complex bios than this. Another example, f12 key opens boot devices list. When i choose different storage from that list, that device becomes permanently main boot device. That menu must exist only for one time boot !? On the other hand when i choose the other storage device from that f12 menu, it doesnt become permanent boot storage. So, there is both inconsistency and unexpected behavior. PS: there is a vital difference between boot disk is, one is veracrypt encrypted, other one is standard windows. One minor thing, version of PCI slot can not be chosen manually. I just hope to return this motherboard for refund and buy another brand!

There is a menu in my board's BIOS to choose the PCIe version/speed for each port, including the chipset link.
In the same menu, there's also an option to disable the CPU-connected M.2 slot.
It's true that being able to disable specific PCIe slots in the BIOS might be nice for extra convenience, but thats it.

Show me a single ASUS AM5 mATX board with a physical CPU-connected PCIe 4x4 slot.]]> Sat, 05 Apr 2025 13:05:04 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=105014&PID=189561&title=how-awful-asrock-motherboards-are-pound#189561 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=105014&PID=189544&title=how-awful-asrock-motherboards-are-pound#189544 Author: eccential

I've read some PCIe Gen.5 issues with RTX 5000 series.
Supposedly, they released VBIOS to fix it, and it worked for some, but not others.
Latest beta BIOS from AsRock (3.20) should have a way to force the main PCIe slot to run in Gen.4 or Gen.3 mode. Try that and see if your 5070Ti comes to live.

No company is perfect, but I've been very happy with AsRock motherboards.
I built lots of AsRock motherboard based systems. 10 AM4 boards, one of which is AsRockRack) and 1 AsRock AM5 board.

I study them to know how they're configured and their limitations, before I buy.
No company makes the perfect board for any particular individual, so I have to work around some bits here and there, but AsRock has always come through for the important bits for me, such as ECC memory support.

Now, AsRockRack, on the other hand, hasn't been very good with their BIOS support. But then, I know of a different company with way worse support. I probably shouldn't say which one. I'll just say it's all about the FRAME of mind on how we WORK on things.

I don't think this forum is run by AsRock company, although it is using their web address. People who post here are just regular people. I sure don't work for AsRock.

No ASRock staff pretend to be regular members here.

If you want help from ASRock directly then you need to open a support ticket:

I doubt you will find help from the community with this attitude.

Obviously main point i need help is to make my rtx 5070 ti working on the that motherboard.
That was very clear request.

And when multiple OSs are installed on different M2 disk, disabling one M2, in order to prevent one OS from interfering with other OS or other disk is also very clear necessity.

It is very amateur way of pretending to be an ordinary user but actually being belong to Asrock company rofl.]]> Fri, 04 Apr 2025 23:56:41 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=105014&PID=189519&title=how-awful-asrock-motherboards-are-pound#189519 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=105014&PID=189510&title=how-awful-asrock-motherboards-are-pound#189510 Author: thisonerighthere

As someone who has just spent last month or so with B850m, I am completely lost and puzzled by some of your issues. Some manufacturers have issues with the PCI slot being too low. Your issue however is that you have a 2 slot card.

Then for the bios settings, I have been able to do everything I need. Even disabling data ports. But I'm a little lost on the M2 port. That setting has zero value on a computer. Only reason I could possibly think that your laptop has this, is if it's populated and you want to conserve energy you can disable it. For portability reasons of course.

Just why are you trying to disable M2 ports that are not active because they are not used is beyond me.

Maybe ask questions that you clearly need help with.]]> Fri, 04 Apr 2025 23:26:56 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=105014&PID=189510&title=how-awful-asrock-motherboards-are-pound#189510
