Review on ASUS X570 Plus Motherboard paired with VG248QG Monitor – A Dynamic Duo for High Performance Gaming and Productivity by Josh Wells

There are two problems to get this board working. Once you're done with them, it will be a good payout. 1 - Before booting the machine for the first time, you need to install your graphics card in the bottom X16 slot. When you plug it into the top X16 slot, POST will stop and the white LED for VGA will light up. Press F2 at boot to enter settings. After setting, press F7 to enter advanced mode. Select Advanced > Integrated device configuration. On PCIEX16_1, set the mode to Gen 3 or whatever suits your graphics card, not Auto. Once there, scroll down and turn off the Wi-Fi controller. Finish the job and you can now move your card to the top slot. You want to do this because the bottom X16 slot only supports X4 mode despite the X16.2 size. The built-in Wi-Fi controller shows Windows immediately on the first reboot after the installer finishes and on all other reboot attempts. . The solution is to disable Wi-Fi in the BIOS as above, install the driver for the Wi-Fi card (available from asus.com), and then enable the controller. Works fine if you do this. Once you figure out all this nonsense the board will be good and cheap. The I/O shield fits well and allows the board to fit properly in the case, which can sometimes be an issue. Keep in mind that not all AMD processors have integrated video, so the DP and HDMI connectors on the board will not work if your processor does not have integrated video.
