I then went into BIOS and flashed to the latest F13 and that's when I realized it was taking a minute or so to recognize my USB thumb drive. So maybe if I had waited longer then qflash would have worked initially.its a B550 board you get pcie gen 4 to the top 16x pcie slot and pcie gen 4 to the top 4x nvme slot. Also comes with two nvme heat sinks to put on ur m2 drives. The rest of the pcie slots and second nvme run off the chipset at gen 3 speeds. If you need all the ports to be gen 4 then go x570. But for most people this is perfect. The top pcie slot is reinforced steel and looks great.
