MSI Z690 Carbon WIFI PCIe AER errors from ASM1062 SATA controller

[sgoel0156702dd]

Hi,

I just built a machine with MSI Z690 Carbon WIFI motherboard and i9-12900K CPU.
Upon booting the system, the logs were immediately and continuously flooded with the following PCIe error messages from the kernel:
pcieport 0000:00:1c.3: AER: Multiple Corrected error received: 0000:00:1c.3
pcieport 0000:00:1c.3: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Physical Layer, (Recei>
pcieport 0000:00:1c.3: device [8086:7abb] error status/mask=00000001/00002000
pcieport 0000:00:1c.3: [ 0] RxErr (First)
pcieport 0000:00:1c.3: AER: Multiple Corrected error received: 0000:00:1c.3
pcieport 0000:00:1c.3: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Corrected, type=Physical Layer, (Recei>
pcieport 0000:00:1c.3: device [8086:7abb] error status/mask=00000001/00002000
pcieport 0000:00:1c.3: [ 0] RxErr (First)

I first updated the BIOS to Version 1.10 dated 12/03/2021 but that did not fix the problem.
I then determined the device connected to PCIe port 0000:00:1c.3 is the ASM1062 SATA controller so I disabled it via the "External SATA controller" option in the BIOS which made the errors go away but now I am short 2 SATA ports.

Please advise whether I should RMA this board or if there is some other remedy which will make the ASM1062 behave properly because the system seems to otherwise be functioning properly.

Thanks

Those ASMedia controllers sure are troublesome: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threads/edge-z690-wifi-clock-watchdog-timeout-bsod.371394/

Maybe try with the newer drivers i linked there.

Thanks for your suggestion and pointer to the thread. From the thread it seems even on Windows newer drivers / firmware are hard to come by for the ASMedia and I'm running Linux so unfortunately can't use the ones linked to in that thread.

update your bios first have yoou checked if the bios section on this forum is a newer one?? i found that my stock shipped one was rubbish i found on here updated and runs fine now

 

[sgoel0156702dd]

I did update to the latest released non-beta BIOS (1.10 12/03/2021) from the support page for the board as I indicated in my initial post. I looked around a bit but could not immediately find the BIOS you are referring to. Can you please provide a link to it?

WIth the model board you have you will likely have Beta BIOS for a few months yet so best to just grin and bear it and use them till all bugs Intel and Microsoft have caused by rushing it all through with the well we can just patch it mentality.

Indeed, I'll give the beta BIOS a try to see if the ASM1062 starts behaving itself.

 

[sgoel0156702dd]

I installed Beta BIOS version 1.23 dated 01/25/2022 and no longer see any PCIe errors being reported by the kernel despite having the ASM1062 SATA controller enabled. I have not hooked up any drives to the controller yet but this is certainly a step in the right direction.
Thanks all for your suggestions and help!
