Hi All,
Need a bit of assistance digging up some information on current technology support required for modern motherboards to post? By modern let's say 6th gen skylake to current intel and all of the Ryzen series. You would think this would be on the ARK product page, but nope. Besides saying dedicated graphics required it doesn't really tell you squat.
Reason I ask is I've ran into this a few times now (first on 6th gen SkyLake and now on 12th gen AlderLake) where if I use an intel F SKU CPU multiple different boards refuse to post with multiple different graphics cards despite confirming everything works fine in other systems. If I put a non F SKU CPU in any of the boards with any of those GPUs it works first go. So, there's obviously something upsetting specifically the F SKUs on boot.
I've got down UEFI support is important, PCIE 4.0 would help since most boards ship these days in auto mode and despite being backwards compatible a lot of boards refuse to post, a lot of people ran into this issue including me with my 7700K and 3080ti. No post till I removed the GPU, manually set the PCIE slots to 3.0 instead of auto and boom she worked fine with my 3080ti. Unfortunately, auto is not so auto...
So what other things do you need to look at for it to "just work"? Like the non F SKUs do, never had a single issue with those to the point where I've always restricted myself to buy the x100's instead of the x100F's but recently the non F has become hard to find. We've got a few F SKU CPUs and it would be nice to buy a "minimum spec" GPU in order to be able to use them. I'm looking at ali express and vega GPUs are extremely cheap ATM but their only PCIE 3.0.
Thanks for the assistance.
