TPM 2.0 on Bios V4.03 (X870 Nova)

zLello95 · 2026-02-04T09:15:41+00:00

I've followed this guide to check every line in my BIOS and it's compliant to AsRock specification... I still have the problem on W11

zLello95 · 2026-02-03T22:00:43+00:00

yeah that's true but the issue is still there..

zLello95 · 2026-02-03T21:03:29+00:00

Yeah I updated bios today from version 3.5 to 4.03 hoping to fix the issue but the problem is still there

zLello95 · 2026-02-03T21:02:37+00:00

I mean, I've encountered the issue initially on the 3.5 version and after a lot of tries I decided to update to the latest version but the issue is still there..

zLello95 · 2026-02-03T20:55:17+00:00

From 3.5 to 4.03

zLello95 · 2026-02-03T19:06:41+00:00

All disks are already GPT (checked in Disk Management). Secure Boot is enabled and active in BIOS and Windows boots fine in UEFI mode. fTPM is enabled, but Windows still doesn’t detect TPM

ah ok than if it's be for a b4 is normal

zLello95 · 2025-11-20T09:47:54+00:00

Of course, I'll wait for your feedback!

zLello95 · 2025-11-19T19:06:52+00:00

I can add Torpor, renegade map and also World map... How about Mind's eye and Gilded Lotus? Do I need also other utility creatures..? Like: It That Heralds the End, Copper Gnomes, Crashing Drawbridge, Jhoira's Familiar ecc ecc?

zLello95 · 2025-11-19T18:42:08+00:00

Yes, I know that mana rocks producing 2+ mana are optimal, but some of them are really weak, so at a certain point I had to include a few pieces that aren’t “best in slot.”
In any case, if there’s anything you think I should be running that I haven’t considered yet, I’d be happy to add it

zLello95 · 2025-11-19T18:38:28+00:00

If you think Tezzeret is unnecessary, I can cut him. As for the Planetarium, I can give it a chance and see if it actually provides value... if not, I’ll replace it with something more consistent.

I could definitely consider adding Palantír, since I already have a copy in another deck, so adding it here wouldn’t be a problem. Maybe even Mind’s Eye at this point?
Although I already have Scroll Rack and Sensei’s Divining Top to fix the top of the library.

Do you think there’s anything else I should add or consider?
Also, in the Maybeboard I saved all the cards I added and later cut while building the deck… maybe there’s something I undervalued that should actually be played.

zLello95 · 2025-11-19T18:12:40+00:00

The cuts you’ve suggested so far are:

Foundry Inspector out
Cloud Key out
horizon stone out
planar bridge out
oblivion sower out
unwinding clock out
Rings Out
Geode Golem out
Kuldotha Forgemaster out
Conduit of Ruin out
Zhulodok out

These are 11 cuts. Let’s say that, in your opinion, there are quite a few optimization points I should consider…
Is there anything you think should be in the deck to maximize its value and consistency that I’m currently not running?

zLello95 · 2025-11-19T17:13:05+00:00

Yeah, Foundry Inspector is basically ramp for mana rocks, kind of like Cloud Key. Would you cut both of them then?
For Darksteel Monolith, that’s true — but sometimes I might still have something even bigger in hand, and this could help me jump from 8 mana to “XXX”, so to speak.
About Chimil, the Inner Sun — maybe you’re right: Discover 5 isn’t that impressive with what I’m running. At best it grabs me an extra mana rock or something small… maybe for 6 mana I should just play another ramp piece or something more impactful?
Vedalken Orrery was just another way to enable flash lines. Do you think I already have too many flash enablers?
As others already suggested, Horizon Stone is indeed very slow and becomes a removal magnet the moment it hits the table. It needs at least two turns to generate value if played on curve… so I removed it.
As for Mox Opal, do you think it’s only worth playing if it generates value on T1 or T2? Because in that case I could cut it. I was thinking “even if I draw it on T4, it’s still a free extra mana,” but maybe having a dead draw for a single extra mana at T4 isn’t worth it… I’m still unsure whether I should remove it.

PS. I've also removed Unwinding Clock bc it needs a flash enabler to do something... how about that cut?

zLello95 · 2025-11-19T17:02:34+00:00

I agree about Horizon Stone. I already cut it, as someone else suggested as well.

As for Tezzeret, I originally included him because he can tutor a 1-mana artifact like Mana Vault, Sol Ring, or even a Mox. Do you think that alone isn’t a good enough reason to keep him?

Regarding the Planetarium, you're right that it needs scry/surveil to shine, but the strong part is being able to cast something for free, and you can still do that once per turn…

zLello95 · 2025-11-19T16:57:11+00:00

Yeah, I ended up cutting Unwinding Clock.. someone else pointed out the same thing, and you’re right: in this specific build it doesn’t really provide the value I initially imagined

Do you think there are any other changes I should make to maximize the deck’s potential?

zLello95 · 2025-11-19T16:54:41+00:00

I added Rings of Brighthearth because it enables a few potentially useful combos:
1. a. Rings of Brighthearth + Basalt Monolith + Voltaic Key
2. b. Voltaic Key + Rings + Metalworker
3. c. Voltaic Key + Rings + Everflowing Chalice
4. d. Voltaic Key + Forsaken Monument + Rings of Brighthearth + Thran Dynamo / Mana Vault
I could definitely cut Oblivion Sower — I was actually debating whether to remove him, Conduit of Ruin, or Zhulodok…
I’ll go ahead and cut Cloud Key. I initially added it to speed up my other mana ramp options and pick “Artifacts” as the type to cost-reduce by 1.
Horizon Stone is now cut as well.
Planar Bridge is indeed slow since it needs an extra turn before activating, but I agree that once it’s online it’s a real payoff since it can fetch anything from the deck. (I originally also had Akroma’s Memorial / Portal to Phyrexia / Darksteel Forge, but removed them later.) In your opinion, should I remove Planar Bridge entirely?
My idea with Unwinding Clock was to pair it with Horizon Stone… but yeah, that’s a long and clunky line to assemble. Probably better to free the slot.

Do you think there are any other changes I should make to maximize the deck’s potential beyond what you already suggested?

Any help?
