Motherboards 5060 won't work with z370 board

I was planning putting together a pc for my daughter's Christmas with a gigabyte Z370M-D3H i7 8700 and a RTX 2070 super. System all working great just needs a different case for her.



I then made an offer on a B Grade 5060 which was accepted.I decided to give her the 5060 instead as it's quite a step up ( I know the card gets a lot of hate for 8GB but I tried it and was impressed) but I can't get the system to boot with it fitted.



I've tried the GPU in a different system and it was fine.

I've run the Nvidia tool to see if the GPU bios needs the update, it didn't.

I'm on the latest motherboard bios which is F14 from 2021 unfortunately.

I've ensured CSM is disabled.

I've also tried a 9060xt in the system which works fine ( that's also a pci-e 5.0 card but x16 rather than x8)



Can anyone offer anything else to try?

I really want to use this card in this system but it's looking like I either need to go back to the 2070 or find a different motherboard/CPU.

Thanks

Think I still have one of those z370 boards, if you need to rule it out?

 

Not sure, did find this Reddit thread if it's of any use

It seems to suggest a CMOS reset seems to help in some cases?

 

I did try to reset the CMOS but I'll try it again

 

I tried it again and it booted but only once. When I went to the bios to change the settings it gave me a black screen ( which I suppose is better than no display) I can get it to boot on the first reset but that's not ideal

This relevant at all?

 

I did try that tool but it said it was already up to date.

What board is it you have David?
Thanks

 

Z370M DS3H. It's a smaller mATX board. It doesn't have a second x16 sized slot or the VRM sinks, but its the same chipset.

 

I'm a bit concerned it would give me the same issue with it being almost the same board but it could be worth a shot depending on how much you would like for it?

I'm going to try to go back to an even older bios and see if that makes any difference failing that I'm going to admit defeat and see if I can find a 12400f or similar and swap out the board and CPU.
Might put the feelers out for this now actually!

 

I don't know if Google AI is making it up?

 

I did see some other posts about forcing the pcie to a lower gen. Iirc I think one initially even knocked it back to pcie 1?

I think once the 'handshake' is done you can then reset to auto?

 

Did you try other ports on the GPU to see if they play differently on boot? like HDMI vs DP etc. or just another port fullstop.

 

It doesn't post at all unless I do a bios reset just before the boot. Can tell because the power button shuts the pc down straight away

 

I thought I had fixed this, I flashed to an earlier bios and got a display but only got into the bios once it would however give a black screen output and windows would load up and work fine which I could live with. I decided to put the latest bios on again and it was the same, no bios but usable. I had a round of arc raiders and it was perfect. Went to play bf6 and forgot that I'd need to re enable secure boot. Took GPU out, enabled secure boot with the igpu, refitted GPU and now I'm back to square one, no display no boot. So looks like secure boot is also interfering with it.

 

Have you tryed a hdmi cable to monitor instead of DP?. Have both installed boot with hdmi then charge to DP, this worked for me when my daughter had this problem.
