First I bought x870 riptide, I just realized that PCI slots are very close to each other therefore, little bit thick GPU, blocks 2nd PCI to be used. I returned it and

I bought B850 riptide as there is sufficient space between PCI slots.

First of all Bios is extremely awful. It is as basic as a laptop's bios. Even my previous Alienware had more advanced Bios lol.

More importantly, tragedically brand new rtx 5070 ti doesn't work on the motherboard. So motherboard is either defected or some serious bios issues...

Facing such things with a non-cheap brand, tragedic.

I think you might be referring to the graphic design rather than the features of the BIOS. If not, please list the features you are missing.

I really like the classic, professional graphic design of the ASRock AM5 BIOS, and I hope it will not be changed.

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!

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.

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.
