Awesome thx for that!

This? How much performance loss on a 3.0 board...

I shipped it back. Ordered another from B&H. I will question everything I order from Amazon sellers from now on..lol

Is this what the R5 normally comes in? One side is taped. View: https://imgur.com/VSGmNPu

I was expecting a sealed Ryzen box...This what came and it was opened. Has anyone here ever received a CPU like this from a seller on Amazon ( in this case it was Maestro Technology LLC) Doesn't appear to have anything wrong with it but still...Would you trust it? Should I send it back? The...

I really appreciate your responses regardless of how dumb a few of my questions probably were! Turns out I could temp. disable TPM in the advanced BIOS setting . Flashing done . Maybe someday I can buy you a pint...

Success flashing all the BIOS up to 7.0 7.40 I get a message I have never seen before and assume it doesn't pertain to my motherboard? Notice: Please suspend bitlocker and any encryption or security relying on the TPM Make sure you have a backed up recovery key. it goes on with more info if...

My thinking as well...boy what a trip that was. At least now I know I have pulse!! lol I think the update and my OC that I should have deleted b4 hand did not get along.

Almost had a heart attack LOL Flashed the 1st of my BIOS updates 3.20 > 3.40...at 60-70% My PC shut down. Derp . While imagining having to buy a new mobo...I waited 5 min and rebooted and it booted into the BIOS ( Lucky me! ) First thing I noticed is it said 3.40 and I was on 3.20 Weird since...

Today should prove fun...BIOS update....8 times to get from 3.20 >>>> 7.40 . Fingers crossed!! lol

Thanks!!
