What bios are you on?

Am sure the later bios versions has it enabled by default. (also has security patches)

new bios last week has been running perfectly reliably for the last few days.

I'm going to have a rant, I wanted to add a third NVME via the PCI-E lane with an adapter, but my 3090Ti covers the lane entirely with the shroud and there's not even space to fit a riser, what's the point in these motherboards having all these features that are obviously making the price higher when you physically can't access them due to the stupid design of I guess both the GPU and Mobo manufacturers not thinking about where everything goes and it being able to be accessed ? You shouldn't have to be making sacrifices on premium boards like this, hopefully something changes in the next gen either GPU's start getting smaller or the Mobo designers come up with ways to make all the features accessible regardless of what GPU you have

Which 3090ti do you have? How big is the cooler on it?

Riser cable with both male and female 90 degree adaptors. (Thermaltake PCI-E 4.0 Dual 90 Degree Riser Cable 130mm)

Not cheap though.

I did think of a riser cable, but I'm not sure there's enough space between the slot and the GPU shroud above it, can't mount the GPU on a bracket and use riser cable on that either because it would mean my USB PCI card would no longer fit

What size are your existing drives? Thinking replace one for a 4TB.

Alternatively get a external NVME enclosure.

That's what I ended up going with to accomodate a third 2tb drive, I'm waiting for prices to be a little cheaper for the 4tbs but even then I'd still want to be able to use the older drives
