I would be suspect as well since it doesn't list any Gen5 info for the board and that's not simply something you can unlock through BIOS. Now, the other option is they're using a PCIE HBA to get Gen 5 drives to work using the slot vs the M2 socket.

However ASR Velocita has a single Gen 5 M2 socket on it.

AMD though needs the latest boards to support Gen5 IIRC they didn't offer it as an option at all until this past fall when they released the new CPUs. Similar to DDR5 only and adding USB4/TB4 to the mix.
