Review on 🎮 B450 Gaming-ITX/AC: Unleash Gaming Power with ASRock Mini-ITX Motherboard by Edward Perez

The bios of this board is a broken mess. Don't buy for Ryzen 3000. TLDR: If it boots and doesn't post, unplug the ethernet cable. When I received this board, there was a Ryzen 3000 Ready sticker on the box. Ryzen 3600 installed but there is no post. Changed to Ryzen 1200, booted fine. I checked BIOS version 3.30 (3.20 is the first one that "supports" Ryzen 3000), so I installed 3600 again. Still no launch. Disconnected everything including the SATA cables and replaced the GPU from an XFX Vega 56 (dual fan model) with an old Quadro NVS 295. Lo and behold, she boots! Reconnect the ethernet and update the bios to 3.53, the beta version I found online. No downloading. Disconnect the cables and shift to 1200 and back to 3.50. Reboots to 3600. Try a few more things, connect drives, log into windows. Then I decided to try the EVGA 1080 ti SC black from my system (it's made for my wife's HTPC/gaming system) and to my surprise it boots up. I start trying to load drivers and find that the ethernet plug is not plugged in, so I plug it in, let it update and reboot. There was a driver update for the AMD GPIO chipset, so I decided to try Vega again. Nothing. Swap RAM from 2 x 8GB 3000 Ballistic to a Hyper X Fury 4GB 2400 just to test it. Nothing. disable ethernet because of idk, why not? Boots. Change the RAM back, it's still loading. Collect everything, put it back under the TV. No downloading. Disconnect the Ethernet cable, boot up. I checked a few more times. If the device loses power, it will not boot with the Ethernet cable connected. If the PSU has constant power, it will continue to boot with the ethernet cable connected. This is unacceptable. I've spent many hours trying to find this error that shouldn't exist. Even swapped out the Ryzen 3600 with a different processor before booting up for the first time. Asrock should pay me for the 8 hours I spent fixing this crap.
