Great Product

by Adrian Challinor star star star star star

Very simple install. Just a couple of tweaks for modders:To install NVMe memory you have to remove the X570 heatsink. There are three screws to achieve this but then you find that the heat sink won't budge. You have to gently prise the heat sink off the X570 chip, as its stuck on with thermal glue. After that it's easy. Remember to press on the heat sin to reattach. Second,before you install the O/S you will have to do a BIOS upgrade. This is not an Asrock issue, its to do with AMD releasing a firmware patch to the Ryzen chips.
