Some Driver Updates

Set RGB to R255, G200, B0

Exception - Microphone produces only static.

  • Attempted Solution: Reinstalled latest drives (Solution failed)

  • Issue discovered: 5000D front panel 3.5mm audio jack (combined Headphone/Mic) producing static when used.

  • Workaround: Use rear audio outputs (Headphone/Mic split) - May be adopted as solution.

Set XMP Profile for DDR5 RAM to 5600MHz

Exception - Failed to POST

  • Issue discovered Motherboard XMP profile for DDR5 RAM @5600MHz not yet supported

  • Workaround: Run with XMP disabled and with DDR5 RAM @ 4800MHz (stock)

  • Revisit on 02-03-22
