Z390 Taichi Bios 1.80 problems

After the installation of the 1.80 version did you clear the cmos and go through and reset everything?

I've just repeated the procedure to make sure I had done nothing stupid, exactly the same result, W10 is very sluggish, mouse is slow etc, all in all just not responsive.

I do have drives on the SATA ports, but they are not conflicting with the NVMEs.

I have two NVMEs a 512Gb ( boot ) and a 1Tb work drive, they are in slots 1 & 3, I also have four SATA drives, two are in the appropriate sata3_2 & 3_3 and the other two drives are on the ASMEDIA ports. To add to the usual gfx card I also have a Soundblaster card, and a USB3 expansion card as I never appear to have
enough USB ports! That card also has a couple of SATA3 ports on it as well, I only use them for hanging drives on temporarily if I need to.

I have just completed a clean W10 install, using 1.60 ( found a copy ) Bios, update the bios and it crawls, revert back to 1.60 and all is fine, think I'll be sticking with 1.60, it ain't perfect but it works.

Seems I can't edit my previous post but I also wanted to mention that I'm not using any SATA drives and my m.2 is installed in the 3rd spot (under the heatsink).

Something is seriously wrong with this version. I even ran userbenchmark and it said it was performing well below expectations. I reverted back to 1.60 and everything is fine now. I would NOT recommend updating from 1.60. Phew.. thanks. Glad it's not just me. Been with ASRock for years, my z77 extreme6 was superb, never any problem, ;ets hope they can resolve this.

I figured I wasn't alone. Which is why I came here. I'll give the next update a shot. Thank god for being able to downgrade.
