    4k 60 hz tv with hdr not recognized using dp to hdmi cable

    I recently acquired an LG c2 42 inch TV to use as a monitor. I thought to use my older 40 inch 60 hz vizio tv as a second monitor but I'm having some issues. The c2 works fine running GSync at up to 120hz with hdr using a 8k60hz/4k120hz hdmi cable from the the hdmi out of my gigabyte 3080 12g...

    secure boot disabled csm fails on older uefi system

    Well I trashed my system in the process but I managed to get secure boot active in both linux and win10. Apparently this ASRock bios is a bit different. If csm is disabled it breaks the boot (at least for windows). But you can still activate secure boot with csm enabled. This is opposite of what...

    odd bios behavor on older asrock mb

    I doubt it's worth throwing money at. But unless the flash actually caused something to fail I'm still mystified as to what happened.

    No worries. The hard reset made no difference. But it was worth a try.

    odd bios behavor on older asrock mb

    I tried to overclock using CPU Tweaker as well as the built in ASRock utiity but both now show a max multi of 38. As best I recall it was 44x or 48x before the bios flash. It is very peculiar that the table of potential values would just change without breaking everything. The flash updates seem...

    Having a strange issue with the bios on an older ASRock fatality z68 professional gen3 As I mentioned elsewhere I was trying to get secure boot to work and as a last try I switched back to an earlier bios. After this flash I could no longer set cpu multiplier above 38x and xmp profiles...

    secure boot disabled csm fails on older uefi system

    Yeah it won't even boot an installation or recovery disk for windows same error. Something about that "bootmgfw.efi" doesn't work with this system with csm disabled.

    secure boot disabled csm fails on older uefi system

    I modded the bios years ago to allow me to boot from an NVME drive. That works fine and never caused me any problems that I'm aware of. I can boot from UEFI just fine, boot drives are UEFI and GPT and I boot from an ESP partition for windows boot manager (bootmgfw.efi) or Linux mint boot...

    Gigabyte 570S Aorus Master bad USB 3.2-c front header.

    Yes, That was my first thought. It seemed odd that just a 3c header would be bad. But It still doesn't work with a replacement cable (Phanteks was great, good communication and speedy delivery) . So I'm left with the port or some odd firmware issue. I've tried 3 bios variants and nothing...

    Gigabyte 570S Aorus Master bad USB 3.2-c front header.

    Need some opinions. I purchased a Gigabyte X570S Aorus Master a few months ago and just recently got around to checking my case front USB-C jack. I got no signal or power for any device I tested. I tried another USB 3.2-C cable and had the same results. The rear USB 3.2-C port works fine and...

    "Best" DDR4 2 x 32GB for Zen2/3

    I've been considering taking advantage of the relatively cheap 5900x. So I've been looking into these 2x32 sticks also. Everything I see is 18-22-22-42 starting at ~$220 on up. I haven't found any reasonable cas 16 in any of the normal sources. I wouldn't be surprised to find they aren't making...
