no longer supported by me, mainboard change

Oh wow. So it's the new x670, and everything works apart from the BT/WiFi? Cool!

I'm assuming we can also just switch out the mobo wifi card for a BCM94360NG one like I just did on an z690. That way you don't even need to use an adaptor.

Thanks for providing your EFI man!

Thats right. I just didn't want to remove the mainboard again.
You just have to remove the heatsink from the back io. -> here @4:10min+8:50min

(the aorus elite ax and the gaming x ax are identical).

Hi Kwodo, great posting and nice build. I've got a similar setup and have under volted my 7950X to help keep temps down. The settings posted have a minimal impact on benchmarks and overall performance. They should be similar in your bios if you or anyone else is interested, you can see my Cinebench scores are more or less unaffected. I think the difference in scores between your setup and mine is the DDR5 6000 CL32 RAM I'm using. Cheers

Hello I have same motherboard. I used your EFI, but ethernet (Realtrk 2.5gb) did not worked. Any solution?

 

[Mac Arthur]

Great job seemingly !I am new on AMD but had 2 Intel Hacks on Z370 and Z490.
Very tempting as this MB is available in my country !Thanks for feedback man...

 

[Manu76]

Hello,
Does it work on v2? Thanks
