I upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11 and everything is working fine with bios v14. My system is already in UEFI and GPT prior to recent bios update. My problem isn't exactly why I cannot boot into windows 11 but why with any bios version above v14 does not load into windows because right now I'm back to v14 and all is good again. When I mentioned about changing from CSM to UEFI is because of cmos reset or bios reset. Whenever I reset it, it goes right back to CSM for some reasons. So if I'm on bios versions any above v14 with UEFI and secure boot enabled, the system still loops back to bios screen. Any idea?

Hi I wanted to give it a try for SAM, so I tried updating my bios from v14 (current) to v18 which is the latest. It got updated successfully but will not load into windows (I still have access to Bios menu). I tried changing CSM to UEFI but nothing works, it just keep on rebooting itself. So I tried other Bios versions below v18 and none has worked. Am I missing something? Right now the whole system is at default, so there is no OC setting applied. I tried finding answer or similar issues but I found nothing. Any idea? Windows 11, Ryzen 3600+5700XT X570 MSI Tomahawk. System is running at UEFI+GPT.

Very true bro. In fact, I'm considering to redo my home theatre with floor standing ones and atmos speaker mounted from ceiling. I just wonder how much sound will be different from my current atmos set up which is already good enough. Then I also wonder if the new expensive atmos soundbars from JBL/Samsung/else can even compare to the real deals.

Thanks for all the input guys. I ended up buying edifier R1800DB cuz I got a good promotion from year-end sales. And boy! i'm glad that I went with this. The sound is amazing and the bass is quite enough to shake the table, so I won't be needing a subwoofer. I was considering soundbar only cuz of limited space which i can just slot it under my monitor (i use monitor arm) for a cleaner set up. I already have my living room set up with 5.1.2 atmos set up, so I dont really need it for my gaming room.

I have a stupid question and please don't hate me for it cuz I'm curious and unable to actually test. Due to the availability of speakers in my hometown, they're either 300-400% of the normal price or simply lack of stock. Options as below. Please advise, thanks. Right now most sony, samsung, LG speaker/soundbar out of stocks except DVD/blu player combo. JBL in stock but only speakers above $600. I will list whatever is available now and my budget is about $300. I want to keep the budget lowest as possible but willing to spend if it is worth it and within my budget. logitech z506 $100 (too many speakers = less space) Logitech Z607 $124 (too many speakers = less space) Xiaomi Mi Soundbar 2.1 Home theatre edition $100 (doesn't exactly fit my desk) Edifier Speaker C6XD $197 Edifier XM2PF Speaker $45 Edifier XM6BT Speaker $78 LG SL5Y 2.1 Channel Sound Bar $275 (doesn't exactly fit my desk) Razer Leviathan $228 (Ideal) Soundblaster X Katana $285 (Ideal) Or I found a pair of Pioneer 3 way speakers sitting in my Dad's garage (S-P730D, Max power@45W 8ohms and can't seem to find any spec online or my Dad remembers. I'm thinking what if I can pair them with a subwoofer and Lepy 838/2020/2024. Would this produce similar sound compared to the best option above? Thanks.

Hey guys I would like to know if there is a huge difference in sound quality between gaming audio sound bar and proper audio sound bar at the same cost? Example: Razer Leviathan or sound blasterx katana vs Samsung/Sony/Yamaha I only want to know in regards to sound bar as I do not have any experience with them and was against them. I already have Onkyo HT-R695 with custom 7.1.2 in my living room. I just need a mobile/space saving/clean setup for my new pc desk and there is no space to place separate speakers. And also are gaming audio products are that bad?

My bad for forgetting to reply on this. I found the problem and wasn't anything to do with whatever we thought I was facing. I forgot to mention that I'm using Cooler Master GPU Vertical Bracket V1 PCIE3 and therefore classic issue of PCIE 3 and PCIE 4 not playing well which somehow random slow boot/no post/BSOD and etc. I got everything up and running after changing PCIE 4.0 to PCIE 3.0 in BIOS and this is what I got. ADATA D60 3200mhz 16CL OC to 3800mhz 16CL. All test passed with no errors, tested with memtest86 via USB Bios, TM5 extreme@anta777 config, Prime95 and needless to say, Aida64.

That explains. Thanks!

Hey guys since I changed my mobo from MSI B450 Tomahawk Max to X570 Tomahawk, I been having issue with POSTING. It'd stuck in loop cycle before posting with EZbug CPU flashing which can take between 2 to 5 minutes. After diagnosing all the parts, I found out the slow POSTING is due to PCIE riser cable but may be in a weird way? I used the same CM vertical mount+riser since B450 and there was no issue before. How I fix the slow posting is that I changed BIOS PCIE_1 manually to GEN3 instead of Auto. If I tested with GEN4, the same issue is still there. So I assume that MOBO+CPU are having hard time communicating to my GPU via pcie riser? FYI if I slot pcie riser to secondary PCIE slot, there is no issue. It'd post and boot as normal, also same result with B450 (I put my parts on B450 just to sure if they are all working). Any idea what is the issue? Is it the mobo fault? BIOS is update to date though.

Yes I have tried both latest and beta versions of Bios but none can do a better job than the other. Even at 3600mhz, I cannot do tighter timings than 16-18-18-36. I understand settings on MB won't be carried forward to the next but I was just expecting much better result on this X570 Tomahawk since my B450 Tomahawk max did a great job at OC RAM and undervolt CPU. I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. So meaning to say that I can't really return this board for this reason right?

Hey guys I bought msi x570 tomahawk a few days ago to replace my b450 tomahawk max. Previously with b450, I was able to OC my 3200mhz cl16 to 3800mhz cl16 with tight timings (took me almost a week to fine tune). But now with x570 tomahawk, I can't oc past 3600mhz cl18. I have adata xpg d60 3200mhz cl16 CJR. I re-tried with b450 again and it works perfectly at 3800mhz. So after all the swapping and experimenting, I concluded that either this x570 tomahawk doesn't play well with my ram or this has bad ram/memory control? Is it something that I can ask to exchange/return/RMA or something? Other than that all other aspects work perfectly. FYI I tried 3866mhz and did not post even with all loose timings. And the ram is listed in msi compatible list.

I just didn't know what else to reply In anyway just letting you all know that I went ahead with MSI X570 Tomahawk. I do not owe to any brand and as a consumer with limited budget, I would rather spend my money on a product which is more value than being loyal to a brand or their ethics. Thanks everyone though.

Unify isn't available here I checked. I'm looking for overall value, great vrm, least 2 m.2 slots with pcie gen 4 speed and etc.

At where I live, the prices don't go back down. Depending on the brand and supplier, prices are set likely until the stock are out. So I'm pretty much stuck with the limited market here. This is for my work pc (photo and video editing) which currently has 3900x.

Hi I'm getting X570 board tomorrow at my local computer store and thinking of getting myself MSI X570 Tomahawk. When it was about $200, X570 Tomahawk was well regarded X570 board to go for. But since it is now almost $300, is it still worth it to buy X570 Tomahawk? Is there any other board around the price that would do a better justice? Thanks.
