Hi All, It has been at over 7 years since I last built a machine and a lot has changed since then! I have just built a machine with these specs: CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 3400G Processor (4C/8T, 6 MB cache, 4.2 GHz Max Boost) with Radeon RX Vega 11 Graphics Gfx - Gigabyte Radeon RX 5600 XT Gaming OC 6GB GDDR6 Graphics Card Motherboard - Asrock X470 Master SLI PSU - Thermaltake TPG-0750F-R 750W Toughpower Grand RGB 750W 80Plus Gold PC- power adapter Memory - G.Skill DIMM 16GB DDR4-3200 Kit, RAM Case - SaharaGaming C500B ATX Black Tempered Glasses gaming case Monitors - 3 x dell se2717h My monitors are all connected with a display port to hdmi adapter and work just fine. However I cannot access the bios on these monitors. I believe this is because they only run at 75hz and the bios can only handle 60hz. I have flashed the bios with the latest version. I have been able to get into the bios by connecting a very very old monitor to it. This does not work as a final solution for me as I am dual booting windows 10 and ubuntu but as I cannot access anything until the graphic drivers kickin I cannot see the boot menu. Does anyone know if there is a solution to this? Or do I need to return the motherboard and get a different make or model? Thanks |

Hello Squiggley, I think the priority has gone to build-in GPU from the 3400G APU. So if you want to display from your powerful 5600XT, then must set bios graphics priority to PCIE-1 I think, or something like that. In fact I could not help myself but to recommend you sell the 3400G APU away and buy a pure CPU only without build in GPU, for around same price I think the new Ryzen 3300x or up $20 for Ryzen 3600, because you have such a nice 5600XT dedicated GPU To match the 5600XT it to 3400G is a waste of either build in GPU or the 5600XT. ------------- x370taichi@3.50gen4 AX750 Optane900P SN770 3800x PosdonZro4 BarrowPWM-17w>420x140x28 XFX SWFT319 6900XT MSI RX560 LP to get Fluid Motion BlueskyFRC 75hz |

Hey cx5 thanks for the response
Just checked the bios and the onboard gfx card is disabled so surely it cannot be that? Also on the 5600XT if I connect the ancient monitor to display port 3 then I can access the bios no bother so it seems to me the old monitor does 60Hz and the new ones only 75Hz..... that seems to be a crux of the problem to me or am I missing something? As for selling my CPU, things have changed so much since I last built a PC and I haven't gamed for probably over 10 years. It never entered my head I was duplicating resources which now that I think about it was a waste of money..... However would it actually worth selling my CPU second hand and buying another one, wouldn't I just lose more money because the CPU is second hand? Thanks again for replying Squiggley |

Squiggleyï¼?as you said the gfx is disabled in bios, hence no bios display. This is prove priority has gone to 3400G APU output motherboard HDMI, not the Gigabyte. I presume if you connect the monitor directly to motherboard's HDMI output then you can see bios, right? have you tried it? I don't understand "My monitors are all connected with a display port to hdmi adapter and work just fine." so I presume, 3 dell monitors, all using a HDMI convertor to display port then connect to 5600XT, right? If yes, again this to me proves that no bios appear because bios gave priority to 3400G APU. On 2nd hand sales. I'm in Hong Kong and noticed parts with official receipts and original box with long warranty periods, i.e 2 years 9 months warranty sells for 90% of new price. Sites like carousell, dcfever are very useful and active trades. If you won't be gaming much, i.e. just gaming very seldom, then try the performance of the 3400G alone without 5600XT, if it does the job then sell off the 5600XT instead, less hassle to remove CPU. Many says 2x8GB 3200Mhz tight timing will be a very good start for 3400G's build in GPU. The faster the better. ------------- x370taichi@3.50gen4 AX750 Optane900P SN770 3800x PosdonZro4 BarrowPWM-17w>420x140x28 XFX SWFT319 6900XT MSI RX560 LP to get Fluid Motion BlueskyFRC 75hz |
