[Update: Compatibility issue causes BSOD/Freeze on select AMD systems]

An update to my earlier post. I've set up new build over the weekend.

Win 10 Home 1809 build;

Ryzen 7 2700 stock speed for now (it loads up to 30-35% only with VR and adapter. Impressive in comparison to my 95-100% load on i5 6600K system);

Gigabyte X470 aorus gaming 7 wifi F8 BIOS.

Gigabyte 1080 Ti aorus Xtreme Edition 11GB.

Changed PCIe to Gen 3 in BIOS (which doesn't matter on this MB, but still).

Placed WiGig card in the first x1 slot (closest to CPU) which is Gen 2 I believe by specs.

Installed all the software, fired up, played for a few hours. No BSOD or freezes. Just having some latency issues once in a while but that might not be related to wireless adapter itself but my network. Very nice.

very nice. I’m glad it worked out for you. I was just thinking of getting myself an upgrade as well. 2700 chip is very nice. Definitely would be my pick as well.

I was quite delighted to review the information on this issue from the company. There are two things that impress me the most.

One: they’ve granted extended return policy to return wireless adapter if users have the issue on their AMD Ryzen system.

Two: They’ve actively investigated the issue and given enough time ( a lot of time per some folk’s standards ) and released a hot fix.

I’ve tried running my wireless adapter on Intel i5 6600k CPU, but unfortunately it chokes the hell out of that processor, so I was thinking of an upgrade and AMD is certainly the way to go this time around. I was mostly AMD fan for many years anyways :P

I’m no longer as anxious to proceed with my planned upgrade. I’ll definitely leave another comment once I test wireless adapter on my newer PC system. Keep up the good work, HTC Vive team!

Moved comment to pinned thread. My bad.
