1 year ago it worked fine for me after installing some drivers.
now i got back to linux and it doesn’t work anymore, i’m stuck at 60 and 120hz should be up to 175hz, at the beginning of my fresh eos install it was able to go up to 175, but the monitor didn’t display anything (and was unusable, flickered really fast)?
Is the system fully updated? What is the reason you are using the lts kernel? Have you tried first of all with hooking up only one monitor and getting it working and then hooking up the second monitor and trying.
why do i use the LTS kernel? well isn’t it more stable than the rolling release?
well i’m not an absolute beginner, but i still struggle sometimes while using Linux, so isn’t LTS more suited for me? (well it’s Arch lol)
yes i have tried booting Linux with only 1 display, but idk which driver i tested it with, which driver would be recommended?

There are a number of newer UEFI Bios updates for this motherboard. The latest version for 2023/6/29 is 8.01 Beta. You should update to at least the version 7.40 dated 2022/11/2
I myself don’t believe in using an lts kernel unless there is a need to. To me it defeats the purpose of using a rolling release OS.
I would at least update the UEFI Bios and start from there.
alright, i didn’t do it because my cpu came with a paper that said newer versions of the mainboard aren’t necessary since it could break stuff or some type of sh*, but i gonna look it up again and see how to install the new UEFI Bios version.
i hope i’m not mixing anything up
EDIT: yes i did mix something up… the mainboard came with a manual sayin’ which CPU are supported and which are not!
*ASRock do NOT recommend updating this BIOS if you are going to use Pinnacle, Raven or Summit Ridge CPU on your system.
*Before updating this BIOS, please also read the description in previous BIOS version.
i dont have the money neither the warranty if something should break, so i’ll refrain from doing it for now, until i know for sure it’s gonna work… would it break the CPU or would a rollback work?
also funny, their site is saying 2.20 is not recommended.
well i’ll also gonna look this up, how often would i need to update? and how stable is it against the LTS kernel, which pro and con are there? since i don’t often need the newest stuff.
It is not uncommon for the early point releases of new kernels to have issues. Unless there is something you need/want in a newer kernel, it is safer to use LTS for most use cases.
However, I would recommend installing both so you can easily switch if you ever have an issue with one or the other.
This is just the standard disclaimer that all motherboard manufacturers use. Updating the UEFI Bios is very easy to do using instant flash. Instructions are here.

a year ago it did after installing drivers, and few days ago when i clean installed EOS
the settings displayed above 160hz, but above, it flickered!
so i thought i install the drivers, since i also want to play games and a lot of ppl say installing drivers should be the first thing … after installing the drivers everything above 120 was gone.
