MSI MAG Tomahawk X870/X870E Owners Thread

Sure, but I haven't seen anyone removing power to fix the issue. Or trigger the issue by connecting a different cable.
Clearing the CMOS is a bit drastic IMO so it would be good if others experiencing the problem can simply remove power to get around it....?

Anyway,
I am interested to know if your switch still detects a link when windows is shutdown?

Clearing the CMOS is not drastic at all imo, you can save then restore a profile in seconds. I tried the power removal and it didn't fix it, same as for others too, only a CMOS fixed it. I have repeated this two times now.

I will let you know about the light next time I shutdown (im usually in sleep mode).

That's really interesting if the issue is manifesting in a different way.
Although the "official" clear cmos procedure includes removing the power to discharge capacitors..... maybe thats why it works

Thanks for taking a look at the link light on switch side when you can.
it would be good to hear from others too.
I've never seen a link at the switch for a NIC that was in a shutdown state before so it seems weird that this board would behave that way.
