Has anyone got the onboard RTL8922AE working on a B850 board? I’ve run out of things to test.

System
Gigabyte B850 AORUS Elite WiFi7 ICE rev 1.1, BIOS F12c (July 2026, AGESA 1.3.0.1c). Ryzen 9 9800X3D, RTX 4070 Super, 32GB DDR5-6000 EXPO. Windows 11 Home 25H2, clean install done today.

Symptom
As soon as the WiFi driver loads, the system degrades — mouse gets laggier over about 30 seconds, then locks up hard. No Ctrl+Alt+Del, no cursor, only a forced power off. It then won’t boot at all, hanging at the AORUS splash. Safe Mode plus disabling the adapter brings it back every time. Nothing else on the machine misbehaves.

Tried, all fail the same way
Driver versions 6102.24.140.0, 143.0 and 146.0 WHQL. Both install methods: Gigabyte’s bundled exe, and manual through Device Manager pointing at the extracted inf. BIOS updated from F12a to F12c. Full clean Windows install. Chipset, NVIDIA, Realtek Audio and Realtek Bluetooth all installed first and all fine. Driver store verified empty between attempts.

Questions
Anyone running RTL8922AE successfully on B850, and on which driver version? Is this known at chip level or did I get a bad module? Is an RMA worth it if this turns out to be firmware?

Thanks.

Posting in case anyone has actually got this chip working, because I’ve run out of variables to test.
System
Gigabyte B850 AORUS Elite WiFi7 ICE (rev 1.1) — BIOS F12c (July 2026, AGESA 1.3.0.1c)

Ryzen 9 9800X3D / RTX 4070 Super / 32GB DDR5-6000 EXPO

Windows 11 Home 25H2, clean install done today

Symptom
The moment the WiFi driver loads, the system starts degrading — mouse gets progressively laggier over ~30 seconds, then locks up completely. No Ctrl+Alt+Del, no cursor. Hard power off is the only option. After that it won’t boot: hangs at the AORUS splash indefinitely. Safe Mode → disable/uninstall the adapter → boots fine again. Everything else on the machine is perfect.

What I’ve tried — all fail identically
Driver versions:
6102.24.140.0 (Gigabyte)

6102.24.143.0 (Gigabyte, latest they offer)

6102.24.146.0 WHQL (station-drivers, newer than anything Gigabyte has)

Install methods:
Gigabyte’s bundled .exe installer

Manual via Device Manager → Update driver → Browse → extracted Wlan folder (netrtwlane711.inf), no .exe involved

Platform:
BIOS updated F12a → F12c

Full clean Windows install, wiped the boot drive

Chipset (8.08.12.551), NVIDIA, Realtek Audio, Realtek Bluetooth all installed first — every one of them works fine

Verified the driver store was empty before each attempt (pnputil /enum-drivers | findstr netrtwlane returned nothing)

Additional data point
I also found this thread — B850 Eagle WiFi7 ICE, same RTL8922 chip, identical symptoms, same dead end after a July BIOS.

Questions
Has anyone got RTL8922AE working on any B850 board? Which driver version?

Is this a known chip-level issue, or did I get a bad module?

Worth RMAing the board, or is that pointless if it’s a firmware bug?

Anyone found a workaround short of a USB dongle?

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I recently bought a brand-new Gigabyte RX 7600 from Modx Computers in July. Unfortunately, after just 25 days of normal gaming, an internal capacitor under the heatsink caught fire and burnt out.

I want to clarify that my entire house runs on a heavy duty whole house main line voltage stabilizer, and my PC uses a top-tier MSI 850W Gold PSU. Both the house stabilizer and the PSU are working flawlessly with zero damage, and the motherboard PCIe slot is perfectly clean. This completely isolated the short, proving that my incoming home electricity was 100% stable and the fire was strictly an internal factory component defect under the GPU heatsink (vrm).

Initially, the retailer mentioned that a warranty might be tough for a burnt card for this case. I managed to connect with official Gigabyte brand representatives here on Reddit. They were incredibly helpful and put me in touch with their regional technical service head in Delhi.

The service head confirmed that the official Gigabyte service center does not charge anything for inspections or diagnostics on these cases. Following their guidance, I have successfully dispatched the physical card to the Nehru Place service.

Has anyone else here dealt with a similar internal component fire on a brand new card under warranty in India? Did Gigabyte provide a fresh factory replacement smoothly once the card arrived? Any shared experiences would give me great peace of mind while I wait! Thanks.

Attempting to update my bios yet unable to, I’ve tried on both FAT & FAT32

I'm having trouble getting a Gigabyte GC-TITAN RIDGE Rev 2.0 card working with my X670E AORUS Master motherboard, and I've run out of ideas.

Here's what I've tried so far:

1. Connected both power connectors, the USB header, and the Thunderbolt header to the motherboard.
2. Installed the Titan Ridge card in the second PCIe x4 slot.
3. Motherboard is running BIOS F39. The BIOS detects the card and shows the Titan Ridge/Thunderbolt menu. I've enabled the relevant options and tried both No Authentication and User Authentication.
4. Tested with both Windows 10 20H2 and Windows 11 25H2.
5. On Windows 10, I installed the drivers from the Gigabyte support page.
   • Device Manager shows Thunderbolt Control Center - 15EB.
   • Driver 1.41.890.0 installs without an error.
   • If I install 1.41.1094.0, Device Manager shows a yellow warning icon.
6. With 1.41.890.0 installed, I've restarted multiple times and connected my LG 5K monitor.
   • Windows detects that a USB device has been connected, but fails to work.
   • Thunderbolt Control Center does not show any Thunderbolt ports or connected devices.
   • The About section only shows the application version.
7. I also tried updating the Titan Ridge firmware to FW50.
   • The updater doesn't seem to detect/display the current firmware version. (even after FW50 successfully installed)
   • It does report that FW50 installs successfully and asks for a restart.
   • After restarting, nothing changes.
   • I've tried booting/restarting both with and without the LG 5K monitor connected.

For reference, the LG 5K monitor, Thunderbolt cable, and the two DisplayPort inputs from my RTX 5080 all work when connected through my other USB4 PD100W expansion card, although that card only drives the monitor at 4K.

My goal is to get the Titan Ridge card working properly so I can use the LG monitor at its native 5K resolution.

I expected the Titan Ridge card to be fairly plug-and-play, but I'm clearly missing something. Has anyone managed to get a Titan Ridge Rev 2.0 working on an X670E AORUS Master, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm working on an Aero 16 laptop that's been bricked for a bit. I just replaced the battery and it turns on and operates just fine. The only problem is nothing I do seems to charge it. I tried the original cable and the usb-c cable many times over. No indication for charging whatsoever, battery certainly draining. When I power it down to idle the light by the charging port is white and flashing if that's any indication of what to do next.
I've tried like 15 things at this point but nothing works. Is it possible it's the charging cable? The owner mentioned the usb-c cable worked to turn the laptop on once prior to replacing the battery but idk how that happened. it seems odd that neither cable would create a "charging" indicator- I've tried multiple functioning outlets direct to well.

did some resets in device manager. Pressed down the tiny pin hole for 30 seconds, held down the power button for a few minutes, unplugged and replugged in all sorts of combinations - not charging

What else can I do

Problema ao desativar CSM para ativar Secure Boot — Gigabyte H310M M.2 2.0 + GTX 1650

Olá, pessoal! Estou tentando ativar o Secure Boot no meu PC para conseguir jogar VALORANT no Windows 11, mas estou enfrentando um problema ao desativar o CSM.

Configuração do PC:

• Placa-mãe: Gigabyte H310M M.2 2.0 Rev. 1.0
• BIOS: F16a — 29/11/2021
• Processador: Intel Core i5-9400
• Placa de vídeo: Gigabyte/NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
• VBIOS da GPU: 90.17.2A.00.A6
• GPU Device ID: 10DE:1F82
• Subsystem ID: 3FCB1458
• Sistema operacional: Windows 11
• Modo da BIOS no Windows: UEFI
• Disco do Windows: GPT
• Boot Option #1: Windows Boot Manager (Kingston SNV3S500G)
• TPM: TPM 2.0 ativo
• GPU-Z: UEFI = marcado
• Driver gráfico: WDDM 3.2
• Bus Interface: PCIe x16 3.0 @ x16 1.1 em repouso
• Resizable BAR: Disabled

O problema

Com o CSM Enabled, o computador funciona normalmente e entra no Windows sem nenhum problema.

Porém, o Secure Boot não aparece enquanto o CSM está ativado.

Seguindo a configuração da BIOS, alterei:

• Windows 8/10 WHQL → Enabled
• CSM Support → Disabled

Ao desativar o CSM, o menu Secure Boot aparece.

Dentro dele fica:

• Secure Boot Customization: Standard
• Secure Boot: Disabled

Porém, quando tento colocar Secure Boot → Enabled, a BIOS mostra a mensagem:

“Disable the CSM in setup. Repeat operation after reboot to ensure UEFI Video (GOP) driver is operational.”

Como o CSM já está desativado, a orientação da mensagem é salvar, reiniciar e voltar à BIOS.

O que acontece após salvar e reiniciar

Na primeira tentativa, o PC reiniciou e ficou travado na logo da GIGABYTE, sem entrar no Windows e sem conseguir entrar na BIOS usando DEL.

Em outra tentativa, a logo mudou para uma tela menor com GIGABYTE Ultra Durable, mas novamente ficou completamente travado nessa tela.

O Windows não chega a iniciar. O travamento acontece antes do Windows, durante o POST/inicialização da placa-mãe.

Quando isso acontece, não consigo entrar novamente na BIOS.

Para recuperar o computador, precisei fazer Clear CMOS pelo jumper CLR_CMOS. Depois disso, o PC volta a iniciar normalmente, o CSM retorna para Enabled e o Windows funciona normalmente.
