Hi there, Please can you help, I built my first new Windows 10 PC a few months ago, with an Aorus Ultra Motherboard. To my surprise the build went smoothly. and everything initially worked. However, after a few weeks of use, I have had continual problem with the Wifi. When I first used the PC, for a short while, the Wifi 6 drivers worked fine, but after a period of time, after regularly waking the PC from sleep, the Wifi starts to go really slow. The only thing that brings it back to the regular, fast speeds is going into Device Manager and uninstalling the Wifi 6 Drivers and then restarting the PC and signing back into the router. I had to do that this morning. But like I said, after approximately a week it will suddenly slow right down after waking, and I will have to do that process again. (I have also shut down the PC & started it up and that makes no difference either). I have tried a few fixes: messing around with router settings, changing the router band settings from 2.4 Ghz to 5 Ghz, downloading the drivers from the Intel site instead of the Aorus Ultra Driver site (which I thought solved the issue as the speeds were very fast), messing around with the Wifi 6 options in the Driver settings, and placing the wifi booster aerial that came with the Motherboard in different places in the room, (that the short length of the wire allows). However, this sudden slowing Wifi problem persists. I am just hoping that you guys can help me solve this issue... Thank you.

Hi guys, Please can I get some advice. First ever build and I have already ran into an issue. ? Photos enclosed. I have a disability in my arms and I have fair lack of dexterity, and I stupidly used the wrong sized Philips screwdriver and unfortunately stripped a screw on the M2 Heatsink slot, of the Auros Ultra motherboard. My partner managed to get the screw out with an elastic band, however, there is a nut stuck underneath it. I am using two M2 Drives, and on the second M2 Slot, I luckily didn't strip the second M2 heatsink screw, and as you can see in the photo, it came off without the nut attached. (That nut is where it should be... on the standoff/screw holder) Anyway, I emailed Gigabyte on their website for a replacement heatsink, screw and nut, (if they sell them?), but they don't get back to you from 3 to 7 days once you submit a ticket... So I wondering if anyone would know if there is any way I can get this nut and screw off? If there is, can I put the nut back on the screw holder? And where can I purchase a replacement screw/and nut (if I can't put the nut back), on Amazon UK? Thank you. Update: Apologies...I have managed to fix it after actually installing the nvme drive and then screwing the heatsink back in.

Thank you again. Now for a long first build ....?

How silly I can be ! Thank you so much. ?

Ok thank you again. Please excuse my lack of knowledge, but I've turned the Motherboard over.... is this the backplate?

I have just contacted them. Thanks again.

Thank you.

Hello, Please can I get some advice. I am about to build my first ever PC and I have just bought the Aorus Ultra (x570). I have been doing some research on how to install the Noctua DH15 cpu cooler which I am still waiting to arrive... I have just noticed that the Aorus Ultra has no backplate; and in the Noctua DH15 manual is says to contact their support if there isn't one. Any ideas how to install the DH15 if there is no backplate? There doesn't seem to be an accessory in the box for it. Thank you.

Thank you very much for your reply. That has already helped with my decision. Thank you.

Hi there, I was wondering if I could get some advice please.... I am a photographer and I about to build my first PC. I will be buying the X570 AORUS ULTRA. Ryzen 3900x I will editing high resolution files (42mp) and then saving the Raw files and transferring them to WD Gold internal storage. I was initially going to go with the Sabrent 2TB Rocket Nvme PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD, but the UK stock has gone, so I was doing some further research and I am now wondering whether there will be any performance benefit over PCIe gen 3? The main point is that I will be editing all my images on that particular SSD and it will be with Lightroom, which is notoriously slow and laggy because of its current poor coding so any perfomance boost is much needed... Thank you

Thank you for your prompt and helpful reply. It took me about 5 years to fill the drive with all of my projects. However, I now have a higher res camera, so I know that the next 2TB will fill up alot quicker than 5 years. I do plan on keeping the majority of them as they will be needed for prints, books etc. I know what you mean about amazon's unlimited backup. They have no problem with me uploading my Raw files which is great so I do believe that is all part of the Prime membership. I recently, accidentally, uploaded the videos from my phone, which I soon realized that they do have a limit on, so currently, it does seem that any res photos are free to upload but not videos; but if that changes, I'll either consider a small price or go to Backblaze instead. Thank you... I was initially going to go with two 8TB drives for archive, along with an SSD for editing on and a NVME M2 for booting and apps so I think I'll stick with that setup for now. Apart from running out of Sata ports on the Motherboard, what other drawbacks are there, of having 3 or 4 SSDs or HDD attached?

Hi guys, First off I'd like to say Hello, and secondly I am a complete newbie, so please forgive any technical mistakes I make in this post. I am just about to buy the components for my first ever build. I am a working photographer and after watching many LLT build videos, I have selected all the parts carefully. However, the components I am just not sure about is the storage for my growing archive of photos. I have been racking my brain, trying to see what the overall benefits are of a NAS such as the Synology DS1618+ with the 10gb ethernet option, or even a DAS, so I thought I'd ask you guys for some expert advice please. I currently use Amazon Drive to backup all of my photos, which is mostly fine apart from the lack of any actual hard drive mirroring ability; and I also use free Dropbox if I want to transfer images to my phone to edit and upload to Instagram, so the benefits of the NAS shared network doesn't seem to be of much benefit to me; but please tell me if I am missing something... Currently, on my aging gaming laptop, I edit from an external, 2TB WD hard drive, which I manually mirror to another hard drive with Sync toy. It is rapidly close to becoming full. Accessing the files is pretty quick over a USB 3.0 hub plugged into the laptop, so I think I'd prefer the connectivity of a DAS. However, I watched a video, where a WD DAS slowed the Youtuber's Windows 10 boot time (which I think happens to me with the WD plugged in.) So I was wondering whether having an external HDD generally does slow down boot times, or is it a WD thing? Ultimately, I keep coming back to the fact that both commercial NAS and DAS's are expensive enclosures, which will/could one day stop working, (Generally they seem to have mixed reviews on Amazon which makes me hesitant to purchase one) so I am just wondering what the pitfalls of taking the enclosure out of the equation completely are, and buying a few internal 8TB drives and storing them in my new PC, in a Raid setup, whilst backing them up to the cloud? Just for reference, the Motherboard I am going for is the X570 Taichi AM4 PCIe 4.0 ATX Motherboard with the Ryzen 3900x. Thank you in advance. D.
