I've just taken delivery of this motherboard from OCUK and wondered if anyone could tell me what BIOS version their board came with if bought recently from Overclockers ? I will be building in about a weeks time and have also got a 5800x plus managed to get a 3080 Ti FE from the first Nvidia drop. It appears F10 up supports the 5800x so I'd rather build/boot and then update the BIOS rather than using Q Flash plus which appears to be an almost blind flashing process. My understanding though is once the board is populated, Q Flash Plus can't be used, unless I'm reading that wrong ? Also, what BIOS are you all running, F12 or F13g, which I think is a beta BIOS, not sure on that though.

I'm using b550m and have just recently had an issue with the pcie speeds...
I was going to write a thread about this because it could help someone but I wil try and keep it short.
I finally got a 3 series card thanks to OcUK doing there promotion last week. I went for the 3060 to replace my 1070. Everything was fine but then after a reboot I had no display, no bios! It even messed up my M2 windows install and in some cases all my drives were completely missing!Switched back to 1070 and all good. Sigh, I said short story, sorry...
I had no gen selection on bios for pcie, that was using 10, the gigabyte tool installed 11 bios but still nothing. I went on the website and got the 13 bios and what do you know, I can select any gen speed I like in bios. It fixed all my issues, almost!
The 3060 is gen 4 capable, that's why I got the b550 originally, now although there is no real performance jump as yet between 3 and 4 I assume it was confusing the board and everything connected to it.
I would advise latest bios, just to be sure because I had a nightmare figuring it out.

The Q flash should work just the same when the PC is built if it's anything like msi flashback feature.
