You're asking someone if you're Linus, MOBO: x470 pro, BIOS is current. Earlier CPU was a Ryzen 7 2700x and everything functioned properly. Actions already completed: cleared network in W10, reinstalled Windows 10, verified no hidden devices, reset many system settings via cmd/run, reinserted the Wi-Fi card (Asus PCE AC68 with 3 antennas), downloaded latest AMD drivers from Asus, checked BIOS settings confirming LAN is enabled. You mentioned searching online but found no clear link between your upgrade and others' issues—suggests a possible BIOS-related problem. It seems not a power issue since your PSU is 650W and your needs are under 519W. After booting, resolution appears very low initially, GPU activates after a few seconds, sound stopped, possibly due to Windows reset; you're considering reinstalling Realtek audio drivers or resetting CMOS.
Usually the first step is checking the Clear CMOS to determine functionality. Besides that, are there any other PCIe devices connected? Some ports on this board share bandwidth, so the network slot might be turned off. Also look into the BIOS settings—on ASUS boards you should find a list of available cards per slot. This helps identify whether the problem lies with hardware or firmware. If it doesn’t appear in BIOS, Windows won’t detect it, suggesting a software-related issue. If it shows up, it points to a hardware fault.
Power usage is tricky: components like the 3090 can spike significantly for short periods, affecting overall draw. You’ll need to consider real-time behavior and how much PSU power you actually use. For light tasks such as email browsing, a 4090 with a 450W unit might suffice, even if you use heavy cables. This is just a minor annoyance; I’d generally disregard these rough estimates.
I reset the CMOS and followed the prompts to enter BIOS during startup, which then launched Windows. The issue persisted; the Wi-Fi card wasn’t visible in the system settings. I reopened BIOS to check for any entries but wasn’t sure if it was registered correctly—whether it was Asus or something else. I noticed no PCI slots were being detected, except for the 2080ti GPU. I’m unsure if I should try using the Wi-Fi card in a different slot with more lanes, or if there’s another solution.
I'd verify whether the X3D chip requires distinct AMD chipset drivers compared to standard AMD CPUs. A full Windows reinstall might be necessary for it to function properly. EDIT: regarding power, your PSU's output will gradually decrease over time—this is normal as all PSUs age and eventually can't supply the required wattage consistently. Now, I own a 1600W PSU, which is about 6 or 7 years old. With a 9900K and two 2080Ti graphics cards, it's definitely more than sufficient. However, power efficiency suggests running it at roughly half capacity would extend its lifespan significantly, and it consumes less power than an 850W unit when handling spikes.
I updated the PCI slot for the device, and it’s now working with Windows. However, it’s returning a Code 10 error despite having the latest driver. The X3d drivers were downloaded using Ryzen Master and the chipset for the 470; some installations failed, which is typical if there’s no matching device or requirement. After installing the AMD chipset drivers, should I reset Windows now?
I need to check the BIOS guide for the board to locate the relevant section. I’m unsure of the exact position beyond the advanced tab, but I’ll adjust my note once I find it. Regarding the PCIe slot, it could be causing issues—Code 10 problems often stem from driver conflicts. Try installing the WiFi card drivers manually to see if that resolves the matter.
Did you retrieve the Ryzen Master from the CPU section instead of the mainboard page? According to Jaystwocents, you should reinstall Windows from the ground up. In one of his videos, he mentioned talking to AMD about it, and that’s the recommended approach. He seems to be using a 7950X with a 3D graphics card.
