You need a bios update, your motherboard probably doesn't natively support a chip with an integrated GPU.
You'll need a USB stick with the new Bios, and hope your board has a button to update its firmware without a support CPU inside (like mine has).
glass ivy
thank you, yeah this is my first amd system so didn't even jump to that conclusion
deft grove
No problem.
glass ivy
assuming i should look on the board manufacturers website for BIOS update?
glass ivy
It's an Auros board so has Q-Flash Bios function
deft grove
Though, I'm really surprised you got an AIO, but no dedicated GPU .
How much RAM do you have though?
glass ivy
this is a 2nd pc build my main system can be seen in the background where this M-ITX system is powered
16gb
deft grove
For an APU, I'd recomment having 2x32 at the very least and give 12gb of it to your integrated GPU.

this new PC is going to be for multimedia, light video editing and will be put into my new motorbike garage workshop mancave,
deft grove
Windows is gonna crawl.
deft grove
this new PC is going to be for multimedia, light video editing and will be put i...
Oh, that's fair.
glass ivy
Really? My main system is older 7th gen i7 and 32gb and runs flawless still
is 5600G and 16GB going to be noticable?
deft grove
... Though video editing really will require more ram than 16gb total for your APU, since even eight gigabytes of VRAM doesn't really cut it on my 2070 SUPER.
glass ivy
sorry its an 8700K im running
deft grove
is 5600G and 16GB going to be noticable?
Definitely.
The Vega graphics integrated into AMD's APUs are surprisingly good though, you just need to feed them enough RAM.

I have a 1060 GTX 6GB thats not being used which i could shoehorn into this case
glass ivy
my main system was ugraded to a 3060 RTX so i have a working 1060 that could go in
deft grove
... Which the case accepts.
glass ivy
the case comes with a vertical mount
deft grove
Saw that.
glass ivy
and flexi adaptor
deft grove
You could put in the 1060 in yeah, that would allow you to run off 16 gb of RAM - as long as you don't have any bloatware.
deft grove
and flexi adaptor
Noice.
Still, for video editing, I'm not too sure how 6gb of VRAM will fair.
Give it a shot first before upgrading the RAM though, it might just work for your usecase.
glass ivy
yeah i dont plan on gaming, certainly not AAA titles on this just watching youtube videos in the workshop, netflix, music and maybe some light editing for vlogs etc
glass ivy
my main system will be first choice for editing, 8700K 32GB and 3060 RTX, older spec but still floats through anything i put at it
deft grove
(Though, I'm surprised you didn't pair your 3060 with the 5600g, those two would have been a lot more powerful together than with the 8700k.)
glass ivy
i did think this but tbh cause this new system is going out to the garage i want to keep the nicer card for my home office lol
deft grove
my main system will be first choice for editing, 8700K 32GB and 3060 RTX, older ...
... Kinda forgot not everyone plays games like Besiege or Scrap Mechanic.
deft grove
i did think this but tbh cause this new system is going out to the garage i want...
Did you think about putting the 8700k in your garage instead?
Or is there a reason you can't?
glass ivy
hrm, not really, i think because thats a normal atx board there is alot more connectivity, i have a high end wifi card, usb3 pcie card and 4 dim slots which i have filled out to 32GB
also running 2x M2 ssds and 2x 3.5 SSDs
i'd need considerable investment to upgrade the ryzen system to a spec level i would be happy with to make it my main system
deft grove
Hmm... You'd only really need a motherboard upgrade to ATX though, and you would be able to keep everything else. Your Intel motherboard would be too big to fit in that new case though...
Yeah, I can see why you don't wanna bother.
glass ivy
tbh i started stockpiling these parts for a gaming APU pc since like 2022 so the parts have been sitting for amost a year and its only now that im converting garage into a workshop that i finally decided to put it together
the other option was to pick up an old used Dell optiplex PC but keep getting let down from sellers and kinda feels a shame this stuff gathering dust so figures i might as well build this for garage as all the parts are paid for and sitting here anyway, even though its overkill for the purpose haha
i'll probably look into the BIOS flashing tomorrow as it's late here but appreciate the conversation and the heads up on the reflash. GN
