r/ASRock

I was just inspecting my replacement X870E Taichi with the older one that killed my 9800X3D and spotted some differences in capacitors and the BIOS chip.

First murerboard had 20K 100C caps while the new one has 20K 101C caps (not sure if that makes any difference in quality).

The other difference is a bit weird and can't be sure about it.

First murerboard had BIOS 3.04 chip with different writings and the new one has 3.40 chip.

Is it possible that ASRock realize those components were the culprit in killing AMDDD 9000 CPUs?

Can anybody confirm if their replacement ASRock AM5 motherboards have the same differences?

I have been building PCs for a long time, and this is the strangest thing I have seen.

To summarize:

After using it for four months, my PC (MSI Z790, Intel 12600KF) with the 9070 16GB (non-XT) would not post on boot. The MSI motherboard is showing the white VGA error light.

I have tried the following:

1. Installed the 9070 in my other PC (MSI B650, 7800x3d). This one is able to boot, display windows, and even game just fine.

2. Installed my 4070 Super into the one that won't boot. Now the PC will boot normally and goes into windows (although it doesn't have the proper drivers of course).

3. Installed a GTX 1080 into the one that won't boot. Same result, PC work just fine.

4. Updated all motherboard drivers on the Intel PC. No change in behavior, Nvidia cards boot and AMD card does not. Reset the CMOS, no change. Flashed the BIOS to the latest revision, no change.

5. Tried a different power supply, no change in behavior, only the ASRock GPU fails to boot.

As you can see this is very strange, and I have no idea what the problem could be. Any help is appreciated.

Edit: Power supply in both is a Corsair RMX 850.

As the title states, the Onboard Devices Configuration and the APM Configuration options are not present in the BIOS settings on my ASRock B560M-C. I am attempting to turn the motherboard rgb light off when the PC is off, but without those settings, I am unsure how to do that.

Hello, I need help.

I was using my computer normally, browsing the internet, when suddenly the screen went black as if the PC had shut down, but the system was still powered on. When I tried to restart it, I no longer got any video output.

Now, two red LED indicators are lit on my motherboard, labeled CPU and DRAM.

My system specifications are:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 8500G

RAM: 16 GB T-Vulkan CL38 DDR5

Motherboard: ASRock A620M-HDV/M.2

I already tried reseating the RAM module and changing slots, but the issue persists. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, i just pulled the trigger on a 9800x3d i currently have a b650 pg lightning, when i bought the CPU i didnt know about all of these issues, iv just read about them, and now i'm worried, im actually not going to install the CPU untill i understand if its safe or not
the issue is in my country these parts are much more expensive that usual (300% tax on their actual price to be exact), so i'm trying to understand is this safe or should i get another motherboard?

Mobo: B650 PG lightning
BIOS: 4.03
RAM: 32 gb 6000 mt T-force

Has anybody in Canada rma'd a gpu recently? What was the time frame like?

Almost 2 months for me and ASrock still havent received my replacement gpu in their Canadian warehouse yet. Why couldnt they just send me a replacment GPU directly to me from their US warehouse like every other company does. They pinching pennies on bulk shipping?

Meanwhile I rma'd a Corsair SF750 psu in my media center rig due to a loud fan. They received it last week and I should have a new unit by early next week by the latest. Less than 3 week turnaround.

Is this always a thing with ASrock? No stock on hand for rma? Am I getting a refurbished unt on a card with less than 3 months use?

Hi,

My CPU setup is on par with 265k performance in Cinebench R23 scoring right above 38k in multi-c. 10min.

Setup consist of Asrock Z890 Steel l. Wifi Bios 3.24

48GB G.skill cudimm 8400

Asus 1300w loki

Corsair titan 360 aio

Tested intel default bios setup, tested Asrock extreme setup, tested intel 200s bios, tested with intel Xtu speed optimizer 2.0 and all with no extra performance changes, score is 38k+

Windows 11 25H2 have been reinstalled with and without Asrock tuning app. No difference at all.

Temps. max mid-70c during high load and P-cores averages 4.588Ghz.

Der8auers in-depth video shows P-cores 5.4Ghz

Is Asrock extremly conservative latest bios or is my cpu the culprit causin low score in R23?

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has sent their motherboard in after their cpu died, and actually used the replacement board?

Most of the posts I’ve been able to find are people just getting different brand boards, is that my best course of action?

I have the ASRock Fatal1ty B450 ITX motherboard. I would like to install a faster CPU however I need to update the BIOS to do this. I figure if I'm going to update I may as well put in the most recent version (10.50). The instructions note to save and backup the encryption recovery keys of Bitlocker and TPM.

https://download.asrock.com/TSD/InstantFlash/BIOS10.pdf

Windows control panel for BitLocker Drive Encryption says C: Bitlocker off, so I expect Bitlocker won't cause me any problems. Are there separate recovery keys for TPM? If so where do I get those?

I remember something about having to turn on bitlocker (or maybe TPM?) in the BIOS when I installed Windows 11 this last fall.

Do I need to be worried about anything or just go ahead and do the instant flash?

The VCCM sensor thresholds on the X570D4U-2L2T (and likely all X570D4U variants) are still hardcoded at Upper Critical 1.32V / Non-Recoverable 1.38V in BMC firmware 1.35.

The Ryzen 3900X (and other Zen2/Zen3 CPUs) pulls ~1.73V on VCCM under normal operation. This triggers a false positive Non-Recoverable event, causing protective shutdowns on perfectly healthy hardware.

The only workaround is running ipmitool sensor thresh VCCM upper 1.72 1.75 1.80 at every single boot — because BMC thresholds reset on every BMC reboot.

This bug has been reported for years on Level1Techs and other forums. It affects every X570D4U user running Ryzen CPUs at stock settings.

Questions for ASRockRack

1. Is a BMC firmware update planned to correct the VCCM thresholds?
2. If not, can you at minimum make the thresholds persistent across BMC reboots?
3. Is there a way to set persistent sensor thresholds via Redfish that I'm missing?

Running a server board that triggers false emergency shutdowns out of the box is not acceptable. This should have been a day-one firmware fix.

BIOS: P1.70 | BMC: 1.35.0 | CPU: Ryzen 9 3900X | Board: X570D4U-2L2T

Trying to update bios but motherboard doesnt appear in the Latest BIOS Update list? Is it shared with antoher board under a different name?

The red color turns to green, and green turns to red. I dont actually know what's happening.

Please help thank you so much !!

Just 2 days ago my my gpu got fried the yeston rx 9070xt. The gpu is at rma and i was running my pc with igpu.

1st run 3h idel temp 50c after 3h suddenly pc shutdown just before shut down temp got to 92c.

2nd run about 9 hours with no issue.

3rd run today morning i try to run pc and it just after 20-30min the pc shut down again with a temp reading of 85c.

The pc is just 4 months old.

PSU Corsair Rm1000x shift

Mobo x870 steel legend (bio latest)

Cpu 7950x3d

Gpu 9070xt (on rma)

I have no idea whats going on is it the VRM suddenly passing more power/volt that fried my gpu and now randomly shutting down whole pc?

or,

My PSU is randomly pussing more then needed power/volt frying my gpu and now random shutdown?

i have all the parts on warranty i can rma them but i cant go to store and tell this this issue they might suspect that the mobo and psu causing this issue frying my gpu and decline rma.
