If you only (plan to?) use 2 SSDs on this 4x adapter, test some other configuration like:
NVMe to 1st and 3rd Port and then set x4x4x8, x8x8 or x8x4x4 Bifurcation.
You are all so funny, not, but no one got the point and you for far offtopic. It was about the decision whether to use x570 with 8x SATA and no BMC or 6x SATA and BMC. My post should only show, in a little exaggerated way, that this is no real question since it is very easy to expand the SATA...
You could add tons of SATA by installing a 4x m2 PCIe x4 Card into the x16 Slot ( x4x4x8 or x4x4x4x4 Bifurcation, add 3-4 M2 PCIe to SATA adapters (up to 5 SATA Ports each) and you get 6 + 15 or 6+20 SATA Ports.
I guess Release != Build and in this case someone of Gigabyte hadn‘t done its job. Hence it has been released months After Build. And I don‘t think that extensively testing of that Build would take 4 months
I tested this method, but the same. The settings aren't persistent and after leavving the BIOS (F10 Save & Exit) even the XFR Settings are back to "auto".....
I refern again to Post # 263:
"Advanced -> AMD Overclocking"": No Ecomode or TDP setting
"Advanced -> AMD CBS -> NBIO -> XFR": Only via manual set PPT, PDC and EDC (edit: didn't also work out as persistent)
"Advanced -> AMD CBS -> NBIO -> SMU -> System configuration": What ever TDP Setting I...
SMU Common Options has no ecomode available for me, all I can chose is "System configuration am4" which doesn't survive any reboot.
Also in the AMD Overclock section is no Ecomode. Could you please provide a screenshot. And XFR also doesn't offer an Ecomode:
(just set to manual, didn't...
Ok, I went through the options of "AMD Overclocking" after I just installed F13. But obviously I am blind, I see options to set voltage or frequncies static, but no "ecomode".
Another question, was anybody able to set the cTDW to 45 or 35 watts?
I found the menu:
But what ever I chose, no change, it remains at "Auto" after a reboot.
Not my experience. The VGA output comes from the BMC. You will get a monitor output even with non iGPU-CPUs. My APU iGPU is defintively deactivated and after activation of the iGPU, THEN the monitor stay blank, because the VGA output doesn't come from the iGPU but from the BMC.
BMC is alike a dGPU.
Habe you disconnected the power? And how long? In the case of an ATX PSU I would disconnect the 24 PIN ATX connector and the 4/8 PIN CPU connector for 5 minutes
Thank you both, as I found out, actually the board is x4/x4/x8 capable.
But for using 2 nvmes in my x16 Slot with the Cezanne APU I have to choose vice versa to make it work: x8/x4/x4 is the right option for my x8 (2 x4) adapter. Last lanes are obviously mentioned first.
And I am happily...
The iGPU is by default disabled in BIOS, but you could enable it, but then the remote control wouldn't work any more and the system doesn't boot up any more. It didn't answers to any ping even after 10 Minutes. Therefore I don't see any GPU under "your devices". I choose a APU for my setup...
I just want to add my two cents to those who are facing problems with the initial board setup and think that their boards are DOA (dead on arrival - for the search engines only).
At first it looked to me like the board was also DoA:
No monitor output, no VGA signal
no response to...
