It seems like I solved the Netwtw08 errors that my B550-F onboard wifi adapter kept spamming every couple of days.

I uninstalled the wifi adapter and I just downloaded the driver directly from Intel for "Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 (Gig+)" instead of using the driver on the Asus support website. In the last five days since then it hasn't posted a single error message. That's the longest I've gone without any errors so I'm calling it fixed.

asus has the agesa whatever with the USB fix out

Captain Phasma wasn't strong enough on her own in crushing that pesky Resistance, so... she enlisted the help of a Hero.

A Crosshair Hero, Sixth of his name, to be exact.

Hehe soooo dramatic right? That was basically a nerdy way of saying the B550 PG Velocita is out and the X370 Crosshair VI Hero is now in and ready to kick some cornhole!

You guys, he's just as gorgeous as ever. So many damn USB ports, tasteful RGB, 8 SATA ports, more tweaking options than I know what to do with... C6H is the 1080Ti of AM4 boards -- still a beast!

Updating the BIOS went off without a hitch. Popped in my OG 1600, stuck the USB thumb drive in, pressed the BIOS Flashback button and boom -- was off to the races after a few minutes. Put my 3600 in and continued the build.

I forgot just how much I missed ASUS BIOS, lol.

However, even after all this, I'm still having problems with NGENUITY failing to recognize my HyperX stuff. Did some digging and it sounds like a widespread issue that's been going on since January or thereabouts. The completely weird thing is, it worked fine when I had my Intel system -- all the same components as this build. Just the CPU and mobo were different.

(the hyperX thing may be windows update related?)

Hahaha, guilty!

Regarding the issues with the HyperX program, you're guess is as good as mine as to whether or not it could be Windows update related. Or maybe Microsoft Store related. I'm not sure what to do about it anymore. (the rainbow puke is driving me nuts)

Yeah still have a problem with my Oppo A72 and the USB typeC port on my mobo though it will charge to phone but that's it it doesn't recognise any data connection but it used to 2 BIOS flashes ago

I found a glitch in the Matrix

I do all of my overclocking in bios.. earlier I was running PBO with Linpack Extreme and saw it was trying to feed 1.3v for 4600. I only need 1.25v for that. So I usually run 4600 with PBO off and just manually set my vcore, soc, and occasionally LLC for when I venture over 4600 briefly because I could never get anything over 4600 stable in any kind of fashion. So today while playing with Linpack I made that 1.3v observation.. I quickly went back into the bios and set the multi to 47 vcore to 1.3 gave soc a little bump to 1.16 not sure if that was needed.. and forgot to turn PBO off. I also forgot to turn my fans off of auto.. because normally if I try to run OCCT at 4700 I get errors within minutes. Minutes went by, then a half hour, and it completed without any errors at 4700 lol.. I don't know if it could do it with less voltage.. but needless to say I am happy But not about that 5c spike.. makes me want to re run it with my fans up, but its under 80 so whatever for now..



Alright had to see with the fans turned up lol.. my youngest tried to squeeze in a round of Roblox and he closed HWinfo about halfway through.. bummer but that spike is still there



Edit again:

I was able to tweak my voltage a little and got it down to 1.2815v.. not bad. 4800 is much harder to get.

Whoops, i must have missed a setting when i upgraded the BIOS

 

[Gmr_Chick]

Well, I may end up having to ask my bud for my money back and return the Hero. My internet connection keeps crapping out. My adapter is up to date (downloaded Intel's Driver Support Assistant), I'm on the latest BIOS for the board, but the damn connection keeps dropping.

Also, not related to my VI Hero but, I just read an interesting customer review on Amazon for the X570 Taichi. Guy said the board worked fine for a couple months, but then the problems started. First, the chipset fan started acting up, and now it makes a weird buzzing/grinding noise 100% of the time. Then the bit that most caught my eye, the USB ports took a massive crap. Guy put in for an RMA to ASRock and ASRock agreed to send him a replacement...but then backtracked and said they were "out of stock" even though the guy said he was able to find the same board on Newegg and other sites. Like, wtf?

But seriously, I'm getting really fed up with this whole thing, to the point where I want to just say fuck it and sell off the whole goddamn system...

 

[freeagent]

My board had an issue with its lan too. I almost sent it back. It would take 38 seconds for it to initialize after every boot or wake from sleep for the first two or three months that I owned it. But then a bios update came, cant remember which one and it is now fixed, and same with Aura too.. Hopefully there will be one for you too!

 

[Gmr_Chick]

OK ya'll, please bear with me here but I was getting ready to call it a night when I got struck by an epiphany of sorts. Remember the problems with the ASRock PG Velocita I was having when it came to the HyperX software I use? (I remember thinking my USB ports were screwed) I was just thinking, since stuff seems to be working now that I've done a clean W10 installation on the Crosshair VI Hero (aside from the constant internet connection drops), maybe the board wasn't faulty in that regard -- though it WAS still faulty when it came to one of the RGB headers -- and I was just being a dum dum.

I experienced the USB and Network adapter problems when I moved to b550 but they are all fixed now with updating the Chipset drivers and getting the Network driver from Intel and Realtek.

Problem is, I'm running an X370 board, and I get the hunch my Crosshair VI Hero was lucky enough to even get a recent BIOS update (which I have installed already), but given X370's "age" I'm not sure how much longer it'll get said BIOS updates.

Anyway, as much as I like the VI Hero, my needs have changed since I had my original one back when Ryzen first came out. Talked to my friend and he completely understood and agreed to give me my $$$ back and take the board.

Maybe you guys can help me pick a board? I liked the B550 Velocita when I had it because it had plenty of fan headers, 2 USB 2.0 headers, 2 ARGB headers (one didn't work though) and 2 RGB headers, a heatpipe on the VRM heatsinks, a decent amount of rear USB ports, and was predominately silver, with red and black accents. What I didn't like about it, however, was the BIOS and the lack of any kind of BIOS flashback button, which I find to be inexcusable for the price range -- even my mom's Asus B450M-A II, which is as budget as you can get, has a BIOS flashback button for fuck's sake!

So, my needs are:

2x ARGB headers
At least 1x RGB header
3 or more chassis fan headers
At least one M.2 heatsink
BIOS Flashback button
Good VRM cooling
4 or more rear USB ports
At least 1 PCIe x1 slot

Thank you in advance

I just finished a review of the Strix B550-F WiFi.

Have you had any issues getting into the bios after a reboot? I updated the board to the latest bios and sometimes I have to shut it down, shut the power off, and then boot it up to get to the bios.

quick boot does that, gotta disable it, or 'restart' from windows not shut down

ROG Strix X570 F Gaming or E if you really must have WIFI

Was looking at those but -- and I don't know what's going on -- both the E and F Strix boards have seemingly disappeared off the face of the planet, or if you can find one it's priced crazy. I kinda wonder if Asus has discontinued those two boards because you literally can't find either of them.

Oh yeah, disabled that from the get-go. And have done the "restart" from windows.

I thought you were decided on getting the Strix-A?

There's not a whole lot choices out there that preserve the silver aesthetic without being a straight up downgrade. Not unless you wanna put a Mortar in that case, which incidentally still happens to be a downgrade.

You can also disable the boot logo. It shows the American Megatrends initialization screen, which you can set to have a much longer POST delay to make it easier to spam Del to get into BIOS. I do that for both my boards, no need to look at the cheesy eagle or tramp stamp.

 

[Gmr_Chick]

Strix-A is still at the top, yes, but I just want to consider back ups should that board suddenly go out of stock.

Oddly enough, I found the B550 PG Velocita on Amazon just now, new, for close to what I paid for the one I got from Amazon Warehouse used - around $160, lol. The new one isn't sold directly by Amazon though, but rather a place called PlatinumMicro....

Hell yeah, especially now that the initial Ryzen 5000 beta bugs have been ironed out. Mostly.

I just saw that the Gigabyte B550M-S2H boards are going for AU$89 at PCCG here in Australia, which is a ridiculous (awesome) price. They were AU$155 when I bought two of them in 2020 for a couple of other systems and there hasn't been a single issue with them.

Question - if you had to choose between the X570-E and Crosshair VII Hero (Wi-Fi), ignoring PCIe generation and WiFi generation support, which would you choose?
I'm curious what y'all think since those are the two boards I'm considering (only two ones that I've found that have all the features I need, and no I will not choose a manufacturer other than ASUS - I like their RGB software, BIOS, website, and support).

Great question! But the best I can say is, since they both have the features you're looking for, I would say get whichever one you find more aesthetically pleasant to look at

 

[freeagent]

I think I know what you are talking about. Is the white light on when it does that? For me it happens with a really unstable OC, it just bypasses the boot screen and dives right into windows really fast.. You can mash delete all you want and nothing? I just clear the cmos and all is well. But if it does that for you frequently and you are not tuned at all I would say it possibly doesn't like your ram..
