PCIe bug with M2_1 slot on X870E Tomahawk

[jlsmith.01712b902af]

So, the M.2_1 slot keeps reverting to PCIe 1 x 4 on a cold boot, sometimes just a reboot from within Windows. Manually setting it to Gen 4 or 5 within the BIOS will get it to run full speed until the next shut down/cold boot, then it's back to 1 x 4 again. Basically, I have to keep switching between gen 4 and 5 setting on every boot or it's stuck at 1 x 4. Auto is also broken. Samsung 990 Evo Plus 1TB.

I've seen another user on Reddit with the exact same issue. Same board, different drive. Anyone using this board, check your drive speed!

Return to retailer. Tell them it is a DOA and MSI advised for it to be replaced

Like he said. I'd also add get your money back and buy a brand that actually works. No sense in wasting your time and money on something that will never be fixed.

Meanwhile, please don't forget to spread your negative experience on every review site you possibly can.
