I've got all the bits, and went for a B450 Gaming Carbon Pro AC - wish I hadn't, the sheer amount of hassle getting it to work correctly has meant I've spent the best part of two weeks trouble shooting, and getting no where.
The BIOS was updated using the normal processes, windows installed and all was working fine.
I plugged in a portable USB hard drive and click been click beep click beep... tried the drive on other PC's and and laptops and it was fine. So tried another branded drive, same issues.
Stripped the setup down, redid the bois from scratch again - same problem
unplugged everything apart from CPU, GPU and ram - no USB headers - still same problems.
Randomly the drive would work, then it wouldn't in the rear USB VR ready ports
board wasn't bought from OCUK but from amazon. It's now going back to amazon as I'm fed up with it, and MSI have been pretty slow/useless.
I'm now looking at spending a bit more, not loads as the mrs would murder me, and getting something like the Aorus X570 AORUS ELITE as it looks like a decent board for the money.
Unless anyone has a better idea, didn't want to spend that sort of cash as the b450 is a great board specs wise, nothing comes close that I can find.
