Sorry if this is a dumb question but my last system was a x58 that I bought 10 years ago.

If I clear CMOS will my bios profiles be cleared or do they stay in memory?

I updated to latest bios that was put up today. 1 second quicker boot time with fast boot disabled. It could be 2 seconds but the image on Windows login screen flicks into view at the 16 second mark and fully operational at the 17 second. I'd say it is really 16.98 seconds to login screen.

I know this thread is for the gigabyte flagship x570 mobo but I plan to buy the aorus xtreme TRX40 and i wonder what is the consensus about the quality of these gigabyte boards? Should i get it or go with something else? Thanks
They are good boards. I've had no issues with my X570 or previous Gigabyte boards either.

My mouse has trouble high lighting text since the F11 bios. It's a non gaming Logitech wireless mouse. Anyone notice the same?
Decided to roll back to F10 and my mouse issue is still there. Never had the problem when I was on F10 only now since I rolled back. I also cleared CMOS after rolling back. Mouse issue is also present in Linux so not a windows problem.

I cannot hear my Chipset fan on silent profile. I have a 5700 XT and a M2 that is not officially a NVMe but it is faster than SATA III. I have it from my last build which was X58. I was one of those who had my X58 system for a few months away from 10 years and bought a fair few different graphics cards over the years and SSD's and the M2 Which was on a PCIe card but plugged it directly into M2 slot on my X570 Ultra board.

Thanks will get that now, What drivers should i use the ones from the disc and then update them from gigabytes site ?

also what is the safest way to update the bios as i am sure people said to stay away from using windows to do it
What drivers are you talking about. Just let Windows 10 handle the drivers but update the chipset drivers yourself by downloading it from the AMD website. They have the most up to date driver and always update from them in the future if newer one is released.

LOL.... Really? With a Screwdriver? I have been Repairing and Working on Computers since the 1990's and Never heard of someone removing RAM with a screwdriver.
I've often used a screwdriver to get the clip in a PCIe slot though but yea to remove RAM not necessary as you can easily get them with your finger.

My PCH fan is silent. But I do not tax it. How many NVMe drives have you got? I could understand if you had two PCIe 4.0 drives running, passing massive data then it would get hot but for general use you should not be seeing those high temps.

Quick question. If I reinstall Windows (clean install) will this remove my saved BIOS profiles as well? Is it possible to back them up?

Edit: I also assume i'll need to redownload chipset drivers and what not as well?
What saved bios profiles. If you are talking about the saved profiles in the bios itself afaik they are saved in the bios so should be still there. Yes you will need to redownload and install the chipset drivers.
