Hi all, I’m working on my second linux build which consists of an Aorus Master x570 and a 3950x.
I have a few issues I’m trying to work through at the moment.
[1] The computer doesn’t seem to boot — after lots of reboots (posts AA) it seems like I can boot via the ubuntu installer USB but only if I select the “safe graphics” mode. This was the case testing both the HDMI or DisplayPort cables — so I’ve ruled out the monitor as being the issue I think. The GPU is a 2080 Super if that makes a difference.
[2] Even though I bought the MB this month the damn thing came with BIOS F4. I was hoping it would have been more recent (doesn’t have the THB header either).
I’ve been searching through the forums but it’s a little overwhelming to read through all the posts but there was a reply somewhere from @wendell where he mentions which BIOS he updated to. I found his “perfect setting” post but that thread seems to only mention F7 in passing.
It looks like F11 is the latest version — has anyone tried this version yet? Is there a recommendation? I know the latest release is not always the best.
I’m hoping that the boot process will be slightly smoother after updating the bios.
