Hey there, I see you're working on setting up your new PC. It sounds like you're having some issues with the GPU not being detected in the first PCIe slot. You tried the bottom one and it worked, but now you're stuck because of the case design. You've updated the BIOS and drivers already. Your system specs look solid—what you have is a powerful build with the Ryzen 7000 series and a high-end GPU. Let's figure out what might be missing or causing the problem.
Consider using the GPU in the first PCIe slot without the M.2 module installed.
I haven't tried that before, I'll give it a shot and let you know.
The CPU status remains uncertain. Although uncommon, it might be faulty and prevent PCIE functionality. The lower port passes through the chipset, while the first port connects directly to the CPU.
The term Party Pooper can be used here, though it doesn't always mean flawless performance. It might also relate to a motherboard issue affecting the first PCIe port. When you mention the GPU isn't detected, consider these factors—such as installing AMD software immediately after Windows setup, which often triggers "No compatible software detected" errors. The fix is to ensure your Windows is fully updated before attempting to install AMD software.
