Just upgrade my AB350 Fatal1ty ITX bios to 5.30 and now i can OC RAM to 3600 which is awesome.
But the downside is GPU Bus type from x16 3.0 to x8 3.0.
I checked by both AIDA64 and GPUZ, all reported same.
Pretty sure this is an bios problem b/c i experienced the same on BIOS 3.60 but it's gone with 3.40 (or vice versa b/c i'm not remember well T.T)
Anyone have same problem?
Sorry for my poor English b/c it's not my native

Try to find GPU bus type in UEFI. In my 4.71A version (not published official by ASRock) i have 3 settings in Advanced:
- PCIe x16/2x8 Switch
- PCIe x16 Switch
- Promontory PCIe Switch

all should be set to Auto.

P.S. can you specify the RAM symbol?
