So I got an air cpu cooler and I will strip my system down for 3rd time and simplify things to diagnose the issue. Thanks M4440!]]> Wed, 23 Apr 2025 20:41:07 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=107064&PID=191694&title=x870-steel-legend#191694 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=107064&PID=191693&title=x870-steel-legend#191693 Author: Beavinator

Absolutely they are NVME One is a Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus 1 tb, and a TeamGroup MP44Q 2TB, and a Kingspec XG7000 4Tb]]> Wed, 23 Apr 2025 20:34:20 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=107064&PID=191692&title=x870-steel-legend#191692 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=107064&PID=191673&title=x870-steel-legend#191673 Author: M440

storage section or nvme/pci section?

those are nvme m.2 not sata m.2? the board most likely support only nvme m.2

What I meant was that the PC was completely built and loop filled and circulating properly. I watercooled all 3 M.2 drives and to plug drives in and unplug them is not easy and all that is behind the vertical GPU. I have it all down to the basics, I even unplugged the bottom 2 drives and still the NVME is not showing up in the storage section.

i dont understand. What do you mean it was all fine?

How do you tell the drives are not detected? you see this in the bios nvme menu/booted OS or the drive boot selector section? Maybe some bootloaders are just not in the NVRAM, because its a new board. There is seperate section for nvme drives and sata drives.

Anyway i would try the board on the desk with minimal cooling. Use the newest bios on default settings when diagnosing nvme drives detection. ]]> Wed, 23 Apr 2025 01:32:11 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=107064&PID=191670&title=x870-steel-legend#191670 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=107064&PID=191669&title=x870-steel-legend#191669 Author: Beavinator

Hello everyone so I built a new custom PC and I have built several before. This time I fugured I would make the switch from Gigabyte motherboards which I have always used to AsRock. I have never had problems like I am having now LOL. I went to the trouble of watercooling my 3 m.2 SSD on the motherboard and I finished my PC and filled it with coolant and I purposely left my SSD unplugged to help it recognize the m.2. Well not 1 of my M.2 shows up in Bios. I spent hours trying all these different settings, resetting the ROM, reinstalling the BIOS and no luck. I figured maybe there was an issue with the M.2 install so I drained my loop and took the thing all apart and it was all fine. So I just reinstalled everything and will refill the loop and try again. If not Im gonna probably switch brands and I really dont want to rebuild this thing again. The problem when they say remove M.2's etc is that its a complete watercooled system and everything is behind the GPU. I guess maybe I could jerry rig something to bypass the GPU and run it with the CPU graphics. Open to suggestions. Was thinking of maybe installing an older BIOS? ]]> Tue, 22 Apr 2025 20:54:06 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=107064&PID=191665&title=x870-steel-legend#191665
