Hey everyone! I just rebuilt my PC this past weekend and I'm trying to figure out how to make sure my MSI GeForce 4070 Ti is the primary graphics output. I have a Ryzen 9 3900X and an MSI X570 MPG Carbon WiFi motherboard. After getting everything set up, I noticed that when I try to access the BIOS, it goes to a black screen and only shows up when I plug my monitor into the motherboard's port. I'm looking for a way to change the settings in BIOS to prioritize my GPU instead. Is there a specific setting I need to change? Also, I'm open to any other tips for my build since I've never really overclocked or undervolted before. Thanks in advance!

First off, make sure your display cable is connected to the GPU and not the motherboard. You can also disable the integrated graphics (iGPU) in the BIOS, which should help. Just a heads-up, the integrated graphics are actually part of the CPU, not the motherboard itself. Also, don't forget to enable the XMP/EXPO profile for your DDR5 RAM in BIOS to get the best performance!
Thanks for the tip! I just realized I needed to connect my monitor to the GPU. That should clear things up!
