Well, I'm back from the dead. Build went well, all in all. Great chassis, easy to work with and awesome layout for cable management. Now to the more boring parts; I'm having quite a bit of stability issues on desktop stuff and browsing, there's also a lot of trouble with certain games not finding my GPU, reverting instead to the onboard chip (my confusion at getting 15fps in Path of Exile was unmatched). I'm having audio sync issues on youtube, stutters in anything launched from the EA app, and every odd black screen - display reset blinks a couple of times a day. In gaming in general, it runs smoothly though, and quietly. I've yet to see anything go above 69 degrees Celsius (nice!).

For now, I have BIOS 4.10 installed, I haven't tampered with anything save for reducing pump/fan speed on the AIO cooler. RAM is running only at 4800 right now, it went down after the BIOS update, and I'm frankly afraid of raising it to its intended 6000 right now, pending more updates on the whole MOBO/AM5 situation. I think I'd gain some more performance with properly clocked RAM though, so there's might be a little bit of extra juice to extract here.

Did you do a full reinstall of the OS or just placed the SSD with the old OS and data intact? If you did, then I'd suggest uninstall all previous drivers if you haven't already. Also go into device manager and see if there's anything missing that you may need to update the drivers to. The main one is certainly the chipset driver from AMDs website. Also you can disable the iGPU in the BIOS and see if that fixes the issue.

Both my system drive and games drive are completely clean, I have nothing from my old rig at all, save for some documents and files. I actually haven't installed the AMD drivers for X670E yet, I saw that they were dated back to late February so I wasn't sure they'd do much for a brand new chip. I'll install it later tonight. Which menu in the BIOS holds the iGPU settings and disable function?

It's an absolute blast playing though, games are running super smoothly and the display is amazing. I'm getting a stable 130-144 fps on Horizon: Zero Dawn on max settings in native 4K. Red Dead Redemption 2 runs between 105-120 on max settings in native 4K. It's like re-discovering gaming for me! I installed Jedi: Fallen Order as well, but for some reason it looks quite bad. Tried fiddling with the few setting available but can't seem to make it look as well as I hoped. It runs fine though, unlike the sequel. I've e-mailed the retailer where I bought my components, they're officially part of the AMD deal with a free copy of Survivor, but they haven't actually sent me the coupon yet. From the looks of it though, I might as well wait since it seems to run atrociously on PC right now, regardless of hardware.
