OK! It's dinner here so tomorrow I'll reset to gen 4. Or maybe later tonight. Check my specs I have DDR5.I'm happy for your success. Being a a seasoned builder/enthusiast kinda/sorta guy with a history of trials and errors, successes and disasters, I am wondering to what extent this change in your UEFI (BIOS) will impact the other features of your board. I don't recall whether you purchased WD NVMe Gen3 or Gen4 but there is a possibility that you will not be enjoying the benefits of Gen4 on any of your PCIe by manually employing Gen3 on your system board. Admittedly, I've never done a build with a vertical mounted GFX card and you certainly have my attention. I'm aware of the fact that this option has been in existence for some time now. No one I have built a PC for has asked me for this and apart from aesthetics I can't think of any practical reason for doing so. Again, user preference prevails.
Just for kicks I'd try switching back to 'auto' just to see if it works with the auto feature on now that the third party software has been activated in that regard. Sometimes some of these apps need a kick start to get them going. Of course, if you have no use for any of the Gen4 features this isn't necessary. Your build is future proofed and as time marches on you'll likely be wanting to use those Gen4 features in your PCIe. My understanding is that you're also using Gen4 RAM but your board can also run DDR5? (Just some thoughts.) Thanks again, for sharing.
