Where are you getting your information?
This is completely false.
You can't rely on a few thread posts as a metric to decide that ASRock is sh*t.
Ridiculous statement.
As with any electronics there's always a chance for a lemon and issues.

Look inside pci-ex16, probably there is some mechanical damages or things that should not be there.

Also, i tested the GPU in my friend's PC and GPUZ detected my 1080 as PCIe 3.0x 16 @ x16 3.0 which means that my ASRock AB350 Pro4 is bad and I am going to RMA it.

Also, there were no audio drops/stutters when i tested my GPU in my friend's PC, heaven benchmark is around 4500 (i7-5th gen CPU). 

Let me know if anyone thinks that my conclusion is wrong. 

Thanks everyone for being very responsive and helpful. Smile

I dont think there's an option for PCIE in bios but ryzen 5 doesnt have integrated graphics so it always uses GPU
