What motherboard should I buy for my R7 5800x3d ? I bought 5800x3d and now my ASUS TUF Gaming B550 Plus Wifi II works great with it but for some reason after CPU installation my M2_2 slot is missing after cold boot.Tried every possible troubleshooting and settings change - nothing works , it just don't WORK ! However , when I boot from bios to windows it is there and it works(I have another thread for that). So my last resort is to change the motherboard at all. Which B550 mobo should I get ?

ASRock Steel legend(best fits my build because my GPU is ASrock Steel legend) but I saw some dudes complains about this mobo killing him x2 5800x3d chips and MSI B550 Tomahawk MAX Wifi
ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming
ASUS ROG Strix B550-A Gaming
(these two doesn't have 2 argb headers and I need 2 ,oh yeah and Wifi too, I am on ethernet but still it's worth to have wifi) because tthey have l225 ethernet and I am gaming with ethernet cable from my router.

Or any other suggestion?

Still I can just buy 2TB NVME for my M1_1 slot and ignore the problem while compensating for the missing M2_2 slot drive and use my pc like that. I'm open for advice and suggestions :)
 
I suggest you go to a shop
 
The Asus boards are good. For the price of the Strix boards you listed. The F is a good choice but I am not sure if it comes with WIFI. That was the distinction between E and F for X570E. If you have the option for a B550 XE. Jump at it. That is hands down the best B550 MB made period. I am free to argue with anyone.

I went for B550 A-Gaming(the white one)

SOLVED: It wans't the mobo at all.The problem was in the OEM nvme firmware.
