Just wondering if anyone else is having issues with these 2 updates?  I updated my Asus ROG Strix B450-F board to version 2605 and my 5700xt drivers to 19.8.1 yesterday.  I'm having trouble with loading Wattman and not registering stats, nor can I upload my Wattman Profiles.  I usually have my sound connected to my Headset and DAC, but I didn't feel like wearing the headset today.  It's not even acknowledging that my monitor is connected for an output source of sound.  The display works though and I can still use my headphones so that is no biggie.  Just thought I'd throw it in there.

IF any other specs are needed, let me know

I presume to think that it has to do with ASUS pulling PCIe 4.0 compatibility from certain pre X570 motherboards...   No good, bad business.  Especially after putting the information out that certain boards would be compatible during launch!!! Explains why I'm having so many issues now.  Correct me if I'm wrong.  Please tell me I just misunderstand.

Well, I got rid of the b450 motherboard and grabbed an MSI x570 Edge. Everything functions properly now as it should.  

***Anyone with a B450 board dont update your bios or else it will remove the PCIe 4.0 functionality of your board*** however, if you don't... U miss out on some features and bug fixes.

Having the exact same issue. Can we get confirmation from AMD themselves about this issue? I would rather not have to upgrade to a 570 board when I just purchased a B450-F three weeks ago.
