So i started off with MZV8P2T0B/AM. but my new build with Asus Tuf GamingZ790-Plus would not boot. Tech support said MZV8P2T0B/AM not listed on their QVI, but 980 PRO-MZ-V8P2T0BW is listed. Question: what is the didderence between /AM and /BW? I'm sitting on nearly $400 between 2 Samsung M.2 SSDs that I apparently cannot use, and can't return because I'm past the return period. I considered going with a different Asus mobo because technicaly that would be the cheaper fix, but none of Asus mobos accept /AM
