Hi,
I just bought a Wifi and bluetooth PCIE card for my build, but it doesnt do anything. So either it is DOA, or there is some setting wrong, because i saw reviews on amazone i think were people had the same build as i have and were using it with no problems. Can anyone help me out? The card: [URL=https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GC-WBAX200-rev-10#kf]GC-WBAX200[/URL] it needs a PCIE2 x1 slot I have already done: - updated the AMD chipset - i have the latest UEFI - i have inserted it multiple times in the PCIEx1 slot - inserted it in the PCIEx16 slot - checked the UEFI for chipset/ PCIE settings (i just cannot find these settings. i saw someone on youtube showing chipset options in the UEFI, but i do not have this option, although i have the latest bios version) - installed the drivers through the cd, and installed the drivers from the support site of the card - used the intel driver & support assistent - checked the device manager (the card is just not showing here) - tried with and without the usb cable connected from the f_usb slot in the card to a usb2 slot on the mobo (it should be working with using the usb2 port, and it is only for the bluetooth support anyways) my build: - B450M PRO4-F - Ryzen 5 3600X - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti - need more info? Many, many thanks in advance!! |

is this slot disabled when you plug in a sata drive or are you using the 2nd nvme/m2 slot ?
some combinations disable a pcie slot when used |

Hi, thanks for your reaction!
yes i am aware that this could be the case, but if i understood the manual correctly, this should not be the case for the PCIEx1 slot. And i am not using the M2 slot. However i am not able to test this, as i dont have another PCIE card to test the functionality of this PCIEx1 slot. |
