Question New to forum - - - question about Asus ROG Strix B650E-E Gaming WiFi ?

[Hotstepper]

First of all I want to say hi!

I am new to the forum and back in the game. I built pc's in a shop when I was a student back in the day and I built my own pc's. I want to build a new pc but I am a bit stuck in making the right decisions. I am going for AMD 7800X3D although the Intel systems I have had were flawless.

I have one question. I like the Asus ROG Strix B650E-E Gaming WiFi motherboard, but I wonder if the problems with the Intel LAN chip are solved. I believe it was a hardware issue on the Intel chip so are the current Asus ROG Strix B650E-E Gaming WiFi motherboards ok?

If not I am going for the MSI MSI MPG B650 CARBON WIFI socket AM5 or the MSI MPG X670E CARBON WIFI socket AM5 motherboard. Maybe the GIGABYTE X670 AORUS ELITE AX socket AM5 is also an option.
Not sure if I need to have the X670E chipset. I am not an overclocker and I almost only play Counterstrike 2.
Thanks for the info and the help.

Problems? Which problems?

I'd go with the MoBo you like the most. And if issue(s) arise, you can always use PCI-E network card.
E.g this one, amazon: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-1000Mbps-Gigabit-Ethernet-supported/dp/B0BG685PKM?th=1

Thanks for your reply. I mean this problems with the I225-V Intel Lan 2.5 GB chip. The I225-V was plagued by many network connection problems that led to connectivity loss and performance deterioration. The issues could only be fixed at the hardware level, so Intel eventually released the I225-V2 controller. I wonder if the Asus, who was mentioned a lot with this problem, has this fix. Buying a PCI-E network card is a possibility but a strange one if you buy an expensive board that is not working out of the box. Installing windows becomes also a problem because Windows ask for a wifi of lan connection during setup.

Well, you could contact Asus and ask which of the two controller chips the MoBo has. Since MoBo specs doesn't specify it.
Also, when there, you can ask if Asus is willing to RMA under warranty, when controller produces that fault.

Well ya, that is a possibility, but I made up my mind and I will buy the MSI MPG X670E CARBON WIFI socket AM5. Expensive but certainly without regret on features and future fast CPU upgrade.

Problem was with Intel Killer Ethernet and Wireless Drivers for Windows 11, don't use them, just MS drivers
