  1. Greetings all, I am one of the few with a working board that allows me to use my wireless adapter. Unfortunately this board (ASRock AB350 Pro 4) did not support all of my hardware and some sacrifices were made. My good motherboard (Gigabyte x470 Aorus Gaming 7) has been collecting dust on a shelf ever since. I know the return policy is in place and I know its been narrowed down to motherboards not CPUs. Just wondering if HTC by any chance had a glimpse of the future and hopefully good news to share as to the progress made in the research? Thanks ahead.
  2. $70ish fix. Get yourself an ASRock AB350 PRO 4 motherboard. Disable Vive camera. Profit. I use this MOBO and have talked to at least 2 others who also have it and have zero issue. Yeah it's a B350, but it works. Read the specs to make sure it can handle everything in your rig.
  3. I have your exact config. I had to swap MOBO with an ASRock AB350 Pro4 Motherboard. ASRock MOBOs seem to have good luck atm. My wireless works without a hitch for the longest time now. Had to sacrifice my NVMe SSD in order to use my 2 GPUs though cause with the ASRock AB350 its one or the other haha
  4. Still Can't believe online has zero warning about this!, do they just think more ryzen users don't exist? **bleep**!. I've tried my best to pre-warn my friends not to count on it working. But **bleep**, It's been HOW long now with zero information?
  5. If this meme gets removed it means they are paying attention >.> *Edited for content*
  6. Oh yeah no, I would have gone away already were it not for my AB350 motherboard not supporting both NVMe and 2 gpus. So for the longest time my 1070 has been in a box and I've been staring at 2 black monitors out of my 5 as a trade-off to be able to use my **bleep** wireless
  7. I'm starting to think HTC only tested Ryzen on a single ASRock motherboard ahahaah
  8. Awesome to hear! I'm on night what is it, 3 or 4? I burn through my 20,000 MAH battery without issues as well!, sucks I sacrifice my 1070 and 2 monitors in the process but it's worth it to be wireless!!! :D In other news, ASRock motherboard sales skyrocket among ryzen users xD I'd love to see "Vive wireless certified on Ryzen" stuck on an old B350 and maked up in price xD ahahahahaha
  9. Hope the ASRock works for ya, my second night with it went without a hitch!. Well.. Standout VR loaded, but none of the menus worked, I really wanna rule this as the game being faulty than the headset. Charging up battery as we speak for night 3!
  10. What's your bios version? I am on 5.50l, testing again tonight, will post results later.
  11. I tried using the second slot with my NVMe drive but it would not boot. I use the top 1x slot and top 16x slot. the NVMe drive slot, the 4 ram slots are occupied with the 4 dims, I did not attatch any extra cards. Ran it until battery drain fine until battery died, second test is tonight (doing all of this in between work and school, Im no tech expert, but happened to have alot of hardware laying about and have been testing different configs)
  12. Success until my battery drained out Changed one thing. The motherboard. My Original build: Ryzen 7 2700x Gigabyte x470 Aorus 7 Wifi Rev 1 Bios F5 32GB Trident Z RGB 3200 MHz RTX 2080 GTX 1070 1TB NVMe SSD I spoke to a certain game dev on reddit (you're the bomb man) and he told me he had zero issues with his ASRock AB350 Pro 4 Motherboard. I just happen to have one laying around so I gave it a go. Lo and behold it works, and it's ALMOST a solution for me. (more on that later) I updated the MOBO Bios to ver 5.10 as it did not support my Ryzen 7 2700x out of the box. But I tested it with the following configs 16Gb Reident Z RGB RTX 2080 1TB NVMe SSD Stock BIOS settings, no PCIe 3.0 force, no over or under clocks. Minus updating the BIOS to support Pinnacle Ridge everything was left alone! Once with a Ryzen 5 1600x and once with a Ryzen 7 2700x I was able to play until my battery died with zero issues, no cutoffs no lag, it was great! Why does this not work for me? Well, The main reason is because I have 5 monitors, and that requires alot of ports, hence the 2 GPUs. On this motherboard if you use an M.2 drive, wether boot or not, it will disable the second 16x PCIe slot. So I am left at a similar conundrum as before: Do I give up some monitors for now or what? Very first world problem yes but my point here is I shouldnt have to sacrifice my displays to be able to use the product. Nontheless if any if you have an ASRock AB350 Pro 4 laying around (I got mine for free when buying a newegg GPU) give it a shot! It worked on Zen 1 and Zen + for me after a bios update.
  13. Greetings all, I seem to have also have a potential underclocking Success story. Credit goes to . EDIT: While everything was working smoothly last night I cannot get it to start stable again. FeelsBadMan.PNG. Nevertheless my original post remains below here. Too bad, I loved that free feeling :[ Disclaimer: I have not extensively tested this. This testing took place in a period of approx 2.20 Hrs. Prior to this however, my PC would lock up or BSOD as soon as I turned on the Vive wands. Still needs further testing but the diffference was major. First my buid: Win 10 1803 Ryzen 7 2700x @3.7 Ghz 32GB Trident Z RGB Rated at 3200 Mhz, default is 21xx, Set to 2400Mhz(this matters later) Gigabyte x470 Aorus 7 Wifi Motheboard BIOS Ver F5 1TB NVMe SSD NVDIA RTX 2080 Founders Factory OCd (?) (Whatever, it's stock) EVGA GTX 1070 SC Factory OCd 5 Monitors (hence why 2 non SLI video cards). HTC Vive wireless expansion card, placed in a 1x PCIe 2.0 slot. Initially I tried doublechecking my timings and used some calculator to help that. Horrible idea, thought my system was FUBR'd After a few CMOS clearings I decided to touch nothing else except CPU and Ram clock speeds, not even voltages. I also lowered my CPU to 3.5 Ghz and RAM to 2400 Mhz. Success! I was able to run beat saber with zero lag and crash for about 20 mins. I tried to switch game and I got the error stating I was plugged into the wrong video card.... I was plugged into none >.> (Pc case open, almost everything disconnected during troubleshoot of my RAM fiasco) Ok.. Plug the link box HDMI in to the RTX card, restart everything. Still working! no crashes, but any game except beat saber wouldnt launch.. what gives?. I checked steam VR and for some reason it was choosing my 1070 as the GPU for VR. I plugged into the 1070 and rebooted. No dice. Only way to solve the issue was to disable the 1070 via Device manager and drive on. Worked with all games, zero issues for approx 2 hours! (time for bed now, can't test much more). The CPU and RAM clocks: I decided to play around with my settings alot, at the end of the day, I cleared CMOS once more, all of bios was verified to be at default settings. Now, without XMP my ram goes to 21xx MHz. I do not know the science behind it. All I know is 21XX is too low, and 3200 was too high. I set it to EXACTLY 2400 MHz asI did before but noticed the CPU still self overclocked to 4.0 GHz last time so I left the CPU at 3.7 GHz in bios. Adittionally I did not force any PCIe 3.0 standards in bios, again everything except ram at 2400 was left alone!. It works!***. (I have yet to conduct long term testing but everythign seemed smooth and stable!. So long as I disabled my second Video card I was good to go without the error of wrong GPU. ) Games played and some notes: Beat Saber - worked without link box even being on HDMI. Once on HDMI with other GPU disabled: VRChat - Verified my external USB microphone worked fine. Stand out - No noticeable latency added, was landing shots as good as my controller tracking allowed me to. Games won GG Onward - This game was not fully ran. It was ran in the earlier part of testing where I got to the menus while I still had my 2 GPUs enabled and the system did lock up here. Once the second GPU was disabled I had the best luck with the other titles but full discression I forgot to return to this one as I rarely play it now. Hope this helps in the search for errors. I will continue messing with it as enabling and disabling my second GPU is a work around at best but definitely hinders my experience as I loose 4/5 of my monitors, Will be migrating 2 of them to the RTX card so I can still have 3 while in VR. (Have discord, OBS, and CAM loaded to monitor whenever headset comes off)
