Hi all. I have components arriving this week for a new build and have decided to go the AMD route with a 3600X. I have also decided to install a 1TB NVMe PCIe4.0 M2 drive which I would like to boot Windows from. This is a first for me and so I have been looking into the science behind this beforehand so I have some idea what I am doing (hopefully). So far it seems to be pretty simple:
1. Confirm or set the M.2 SSD as the first boot option
2. Confirm (or set) the Storage Boot Option Control to “UEFI”
and then I should be set.
The questionable part, from what I have been reading, is the CSM. From my internet investigation some people have had issues installing and then booting with CSM enabled and then have not been able to disable it afterwards, however others have had no problem; the MoBo type has not been that specific, but they have been talking about x570 bpards.
Looking at the Aorus Elite Manual by default CSM support is enabled (enables UEFI CSM). Whereas 'Disabled' disables UEFI CSM and supports UEFI BIOS boot process only. Should this be disabled? I am not sure. All other UEFI options seem to be defaulted to enabled.
Would appreciate some advice on this and anything else that I may need to consider.
Thanks in advance.
