i am powering it via probably the shittiest possible usb-c cable. i wonder if getting a better cable would fix it.

adding a powered usb hub did not fix it. so i modified a usb cable to let me splice in power from an external 5v psu.

*that* fixed it.

My experience is that ASRock sucks, generally speaking, and if they put out any actually good mobo it is by accident.
