    In Progress New build, help

    Thanks for the additional info (y) The specs here for that MB show that it is compatible with 3rd, 4th and 5th gen CPUs, the R5 5600 CPU was not released until 04/04/2022 which is some six months after BIOS version 2423 was released so it is technically possible for the MB to have an earlier...

    In Progress GPU smoking. Not sure where to go from here.

    Using a PSU that is rated as – Tier C • Low-end with such a high end GPU would do it. What is the exact model name or number of the Corsair PSU that you have ordered. If a bad PSU has damaged the GPU you may well find ASRock telling you that you need to take the matter up with Aerocool. Just...

    Amazon do not flash MBs BIOS, merchants that sell through Amazon may well do but why would a seller go to the trouble of installing a BIOS version that is out of date. Have you checked the information label between the CPU and memory slot/s, the last four digits that represent the BIOS version...
