It's an X470 Aorus WiFi, with latest bios. Windows 10 64 Pro. I've tried hubs from Startech, Delock, Orico and RSTech, all USB 3.1 Gen 2 10gbps, all self powered. I've also tried cables from half a dozen different brands.

So, my Gigabyte Aorus X470 has numerous USB 3.0 ports, plus 2 ASMedia 3.1 Gen 2 ports (back panel) and 1 AMD USB 3.1 Gen 2 port (motherboard header). I've attached a back panel adapter to the AMD one, with a single USB C socket. If I attach a portable SSD to any of the 3 Gen 2 ports via a short...

Another update, albeit somewhat academic. I tried a third different gen 2 USB hub, this time with a really short c to c cable, but exactly the same result, while a gen 2 memory stick worked OK, but needed a restart to be fully recognised. In summary then, those ASmedia Gen 2 ports will not play...

Hi Paperdoc, I have a small, equally strange, update. I got my paws on a USB 3,2 Gen 2 portable SSD, plugged it in to one of those gen 2 sockets and it worked fine. But I then borrowed a completely different make and model of gen 2 hub, including a different chipset, and it behaved exactly the...

Hello alll, I have a rather weird USB issue that I'm hoping someone might have come across. I've purchased a Startech powered USB 3.2 Gen 2 hub, which works fine when plugged into a USB 3 Gen 1 socket, but not when connected to a USB 3 Gen 2 socket. The motherboard, an Aorus X470 Gaming Wifi 7...

Sorry, forgot the MB, it's a Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7 with bios F61. Nothing is overclocked, and the system's been uber stable until the gpu swop today.

Ryzen 5900X, 64gb Crucial 3600, 2TB SSD, Soundblaster AE-7 I know the PSU is borderline at 550w and will need replacing as soon as I can afford it, but I'm not gaming here, simply booting into windows; the signal always goes just after the circle of blue dots, plus it works it safe mode, so it...

Hello all, I'm in major need of some help please. I replaced my 1050 ti with a 3060 ti earlier today and have hit trouble; as soon as windows starts to load the monitor goes blank and it says no signal, but it works OK in safe mode, which is what I'm using now. I've uninstalled the old driver...

Looking to upgrade my 2700X. The Gigabyte cpu list says it will work with the latest bios, but I've heard some people had problems ...

Hello both, Current CPU is a 2700X, but I'm planning to upgrade to a 5900X at the same time I change the ram. This is the stuff in question https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team-group-8pack-edition-32gb-2x16gb-ddr4-pc4-28800c16-3600mhz-dual-channel-kit-my-002-8p.html#comments

I'm looking at some Team Group 3600 ram for my X470 Gaming 7 wifi, which is recommended for Ryzen by Team but not on Gigabyte's AVL, which leaves me wondering whether XMP will still be recognised?

Hi Lutfij, Bios is F31, ram slots 2 &4.

Hello all, Just a quick question if anyone can help. I have a Gigabyte X470 Gaming motherboard with 2700 X and 32 GB of Crucial Ballistix Elite 3200; I can't get the ram stable at 3200mhz no matter what I try, but it's fine at some decent timings on 2933mhz of 14-16-16-32, however when I try...

Hello all, I have an annoying problem with my PC. When watching DVDs in 5.1 surround sound I get a little crackling/popping noise from every few seconds when the FL and or FR speakers are in use, but never from the centre speaker, even after 10 or 20 minutes of dialogue. In theory I might...

Hello again all, Well, it's been cured as a side effect. I was about to unplug it but noticed in the staus that a firmware update was available, so I thought I'd install it on the off chance that it would cause enough of a refresh/reboot to kick the 2.4GHz back into life and thankfully it...
