A few of your USB connections aren't functioning properly.
A few of your USB connections aren't functioning properly.
I've been using this setup for a couple of weeks now and just finished installing the 3080TI FE. Once connected, my front I/O and rear I/O Type A and USB 3.0 ports aren't all working, but not every port is affected—three on the rear I/O still function and my Type C port on both ends remains operational. The specs are solid: 7700x Peerless Assassin 120 SE 3080ti FE (formerly RX 470), 32GB TFSRAM, CL40 ASRock X670E (BIOS v1.07), EVGA 750BP, 4TB NVMe SSD, InLand 512GB SATA, and LianLi with LianCool. I've tried everything—re-seating cables, uninstalling drivers, updating them—but nothing seems to help. I'm not sure what to do next.
It looks odd for both my type C units to be functioning, right? The front and back ones seem okay unless the type C is damaged beyond repair.
The type C likely uses a distinct controller, which also suggests it connects to another port. The motherboard manual should clarify this. On my board the type C is 3.1, so it must fit. According to NVMe theory, it should match what it’s connected to. I’m becoming more comfortable with the idea of a reflowed controller. It might also relate to the BIOS. Updating the BIOS is free but can take some time; it’s quicker than sending in a return mail. Refreshing the BIOS carries a small risk of power issues during the process, which could corrupt the BIOS and prevent the CPU from working. AMD systems often need this fix, so I wouldn’t choose an AMD board without a reliable CPU flash system, as it could save you from a corrupted BIOS update that might brick the board and require an RMA. The manufacturer can usually fix it by reflashing or even removing the old chip and installing a new one with the correct BIOS. A successful BIOS update might not work, in which case you’d need to go with an RMA. If RMA isn’t an option, you can use the PCIe card slot to bypass the original ports and add more.
