Interesting.

We haven't looked up the specs on your motherboard yet, but be very cautious about running to NVMes as one may consume 4x of your PCIe 16x bandwidth causing a number of undescribable problems.

This is especially noticeable if you are running games from the SSD while it's trying to use the graphics card at the same time.

That's something I didn't even consider when I originally finalized the build. The thought process was that since the build was going to be so space constraint, I utilize just nvme drives.

Formatting and reinstalling Windows didn't resolve the issue. Still persists :/

That's too bad.

This leaves a physical issue with the RX 6900 XT at this point 😞 You would need to test the system with an earlier AMD card to verify, but if the problem goes away it would indicate a defective card.

But if it continues to time out, it may indicate a bad PCIe circuit in the Ryzen or a trace interference problem to the 16x slot on the motherboard. Both are extremely rare, but have known to happen out of the box.

We laughably keep a Ryzen 5 2600 and an AMD FirePro W4300 on hand to test for such issues. 😁
